Tap, tap, tap………

I was accosted by a man the other day while pumping gas at S.a.m’s C—lub. Thinking back now it’s kind of funny but if I may be honest, it totally caught me off guard when it happened. I was sitting in the car playing around with my phone waiting on the gas to finish pumping when I heard him. I just assumed it was the attendant trying to tell me something.

Tap, tap, tap

*me looking up from the phone to find a rather rotund man standing outside of the passenger side window*

I cracked it just a nudge.

RM: Hey how you doing Miss lady?

*oh lawd here we go*

Me: Fine

At this point I noticed he had his AR Dept. of Corrections uniform on.

RM: Well I just noticed you pumping your gas and thought you looked kinda nice.

*KINDA NICE???!!! Negro I’m FOINE!*

RM: You gotta man?

Me: Yeeeeeeeep

RM: Aww, well he shol’ is lucky. Can I give you my card in case you change your mind about that?

*pump the brakes* Corrections Officers have business cards??? LOL Who knew?

Me: Neeeeerrp

RM: Oh well, my name is Carlos. It was nice to meet you.

Me: *rolls the window up*

THROWBACK!

I just heard this song on a commercial on the boob tube. Good music yo!

Fun fact: This is my first time EVER seeing this video.

Don't you just hate it when....

.....you are in a meeting and the meeting organizer/leader isn't organized and doesn't know how to lead?

......you walk into a stall in the ladies restroom and see a plethora of scented talcum powder that has fallen out of someone's draws and spilled all over the floor and commode?

Girl You So Different and Stuff………..

While perusing on FB a little while ago, I noticed Nerd Girl’s status about one of her co-workers breakfast cuisine of Funyuns and Diet Mt. Dew after her loved one’s health crisis earlier this week. I refrained from posting a detailed reply of my opinion on FB because well it’s FB and you never know who’s zoomin’ who on there but I digress.

One of my colleagues, God love her, nearly lost her life to a stroke and a (near) brain aneurysm a few years back. She’s recovered quite well and there are no signs that she even had a health issue. Well other than the fact that that the hair the doctors shaved off hasn’t grown back as long as it was (past her shoulders) but you would never know that unless she told you. So like I said….no signs. Now while I commend her on making a full recovery, I get annoyed when I see her. Why? Because every morning she stops by my desk to chat, she has a bag from McD’s in one hand (with her and one of those cold coffee thingamajigs in the other. Now I know some of you may be thinking, “Why should you care?” Well, damn shouldn’t she? Now I’m not one to say what I’ll never do because I learned a long time ago that’s just pretty much setting yourself up for failure BUT I’m pretty darn certain I wouldn’t be doing that if I were in her situation. Of course, I’ve never mentioned a word of this to her but sometimes I just want to grab her and shake the shidoobee’s out of her!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Perfect Patty when it comes to eating healthy (and exercise for that matter) and I durn sure don’t have a Coke bottle figure. Can you say booty as flat as a map? Hell I just had a burger (no fries) last night BUT it was cooked at home on the Foreman Grill. Holla! I dunno folks, I don’t wanna judge (even though I am) but it just strikes me odd that considering the circumstances that is what her dietary choice is. It’s her choice though and it is what it is I suppose.

Holla Holla, it's smurder!!!

Snow murder that is. HA! We are on day #3 of being at the house.....well I am on day #3. Z went back yesterday. He hates being cooped up in the house and says the main roads really aren't that bad. I doubt if they are but for the sake of the kids and commuters (especially those that are inexperienced at driving in conditions like these) it's better to be safe than sorry I suppose. I sure hope we can push this out for the rest of the work week. Any day that I don't have to look at my boss's face is a day for rejoicing!!

There's nothing else really going on in the sticks. I have been able to get my workouts done in the morning but haven't taken one single solitary nap. Oooooooo weeeeee, wat up wit dat? Oh wat.up.wit.daaaaaaaaat? You have to watch this to get that. Hmmmm, I see they've made a few more since the original. I need to catch up.

Oh well, I'm off to work on my fitness. Holla!

Snow Day Part Deux!!

And you know what that means? NO WORK!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

In other news, I got a chance to watch 'Twilight' (well some of it because I keep getting interrupted when it comes on) this weekend. I really don't get what all the hoopla was about for this movie. Anyway, this scene had me in STITCHES! If you've seen the film you know the farts are really not the reason why he's acting all itchy gitchy ya ya but it makes it even funnier nonetheless.



I also watched "Sunshine Cleaning" (SC). This is a pretty good film made by the same folks that did "Little Miss Sunshine" (which is absolutely hilarious by the way). I wonder if the "Sunshine" thing is their trademark. It's kinda neat. If you've never heard of SC, the movie is about a single mom that starts her own biohazard removal/crime scene clean-up service with her sister in order to make a better living for herself so she can put her kid into private school after he is thrown out of public school. The same guy (Alan Arkin) that played the grandpa in LMS plays the grandpa in this movie as well and as usual he didn't disappoint. I won't go into much detail, just catch it if you can.

We've been outside the better part of an hour and are frozen solid so I'm off to thaw out but not before I make some snow cream. Toodles!

AR Gal PSA..............................

If you decide to try and pull off a (too little) shirt as a dress, do the world a favor and wear leggings instead of tights. It's really not a good look to see you continue pulling at the back of your shirt dress to prevent your booty from being visible. Better yet, next time just don't put it on or wear some pants with your shirt dress.

Thanks in advance.

Boy Why You So Obsessed with Me?

After seeing Kelly's post with Pedro singing, that MC song is now stuck in mah head! Thanks! LOL

I've been craving the chicken alfredo that our cafe' makes for the past few weeks so I called to see if it was on the menu this week. I was put on hold for several minutes and got impatient so I hung up, grabbed my purse and headed out to my car. I needed to make a stop somewhere else anyway so I figured I'd get something while I was out.

Sidenote: I brought soup for lunch today but was not feeling it. Hmmmm, seems like I'm still failing the 'no spending in February' test. What is I'm gone do???????

When I returned, I saw that my VM indicator light was blinking and that I had two missed calls. I figured it was my boss calling to annoy the sh*t out of me again ask me a question even though we had just gotten out of a 3 1/2 hour meeting. I looked through the caller ID and saw it was the cafe' calling back. Awwww, that was nice I thought. I called my VM and deleted the message without listening. Dude has called me back three times since I got back in the building. LOL I know he is being courteous but gee whiz FIVE calls. DUDE, you're killin' me! I'll pick up the phone if he calls back again to say thanks but no thanks....or maybe just no thank you because that sounds too much like Sarah Palin. Blech!

UPDATE: He called back. I thanked him and asked if they were serving the dish just in case I want it tomorrow. He says, "No Ms. AR Gal. Is that all you had wanted?" *sigh* I won't complain about the grammar because he was polite.

Update sidenote: Ya'll almost caught me slipping (well some of you anyway since others already know me in the afterlife known as FB)! I typed my real name in the update. Thank goodness I re-read this after I posted.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that………….

A chronicle of some of the thoughts that popped in my head Tuesday February 2, 2010

• I really like sunflower seeds…..the kind you have to crack and spit…..and especially flavored ones like ranch and bbq. Flavored ones are really hard to find. I’ve been eating them non-stop for almost two weeks.
• I’m truly tired of people making excuses at work. You’ve known about this final report for well over a year, we’ve done several interim reports in between, requested an extension for the final and you want me to go back to these folks and ask for another just because YOU don’t have your portion complete. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiid…….. How’s that saying go? Your failure to plan does not equate an emergency on my part. Beesh betta have my report!! Holla!
• My actual reply was much less harsh but very direct.
• Grandmama always said that you will sometimes have to smile even when you don’t want to. She was so smart.
• The internet is my sanity during work hours.
• I gave myself a mild heart attack last night while doing my taxes. I selected the incorrect option when entering some of my information causing my taxes to appear significantly less that what it normally is. I retraced my steps and found the error. It’s great never to owe anything but the difference would have been a tough pill to swallow.
• I need to look over my state filing one last time to make sure I didn’t goof anything up on in it before I send it in.
• Do ya’ll file your state taxes online or mail it in? I mail them in. I learned my lesson after being charged $30 and only receiving like $60 back one year. FAIL.
• I don’t have anything that I need to use the refund for. I’m almost tempted to go buy one of those Wii’s but the responsible part of me just says put it all in the bank.
• I can’t wait for the Teen Mom reunion show tonight. It will probably be much less drama filled as I am expecting.
• I read that Farrah’s mom was arrested for beating up on her. LMAO That girl has been asking to be mollywhopped upside the head for a loooooooooooong time.
• Dammit!!! I forgot to take my BC pill and vitamin this morning. Good thing we didn’t bump uglies this morning.
• I want some hot chocolate but my bladder is still full from all the hot lemon water and milk I drank earlier.
• Forget that! I’m still getting some. I’ll just be on the pot all day today.
• Why are you braking BEFORE you merge to get off on the exit???????? And why are you looking at me crazy because you don’t know how to drive? She better be glad I couldn’t get to any of my pennies from heaven to throw at her.

• Ok AR Gal, you are only picking up moisturizer…you hear that????

• That didn’t last long. I just had to have them. The color is much richer in person.
• Sorry Nerd Girl, I failed the ‘no spending in February’ test. I’m gonna do better the rest of the month. :D
• Time to eat, I’s hongray!
• Why do people schedule meetings for several hours? Boo Hiss!
  

You have great Conway Boobs!

We've been iced in most of this weekend and pretty much bored as hell. But hey, we got a free day on Friday so I won't complain, even though I had to work part of the time (Friday) to get a report in because someone else wasn't on their job causing me to have to bring this damn laptop home when that is the last thing I wanted to do especially when there was snow to be played in, a fireplace to be lit, and snuggling to do. *exhales*

To kill time, we watched movies, played around online, and Z did this to me a majority of the time. I miss this daggone show something serious. *pouts*
