The Weekend Squared

FYI....I think this may be the longest post I've ever had so read at your own risk. lol

I think I’m down from my natural high of Obama-Biden win last week so it’s probably safe to post. Lol I’ll do a recap of the past two weekends since I didn’t mention anything about my trip to Nashville (aka, Nashlanta, Nashvegas, Alantaville……*sigh*) These are just a FEW of the ways the locals describe that place. Lol More on my adventures there in a hot minute.

This past weekend was most uneventful BUT our house is mighty clean! I vacuumed, swept, mopped, scrubbed cabinets, dusted, cleaned ceiling fans, washed clothes, sheets, rugs, dogs, my hair. I think I may have even tried to wash Z’s hair! To say I got carried away is an understatement but I had to because while Z made a valiant effort at cleaning up while I was out of town the weekend prior…...his clean just ain’t my type of clean. He does just enough so it doesn’t look sloppy. Lol He recently bought a steam cleaner, ya know like the kind you can rent at the grocery store so he was ready to clean some carpet. He wants to do it once/month since we have two pets and all. I argued that was a bit extreme but hey I’m not the one doing the actual labor so whatever.

The weekend in Nashville was fun as always. I love seeing my BFF and her college buddies (who I now consider my friends as well). I left home at around 2:30 or 3 that morning so I could arrive early, not have to deal with a lot of traffic, and speed so it wouldn’t take as long. My only concern was having to deal with creatures of the Bambi variety. I would add the link from that post about my previous Disney adventure but I don’t remember when I did it so oh well. Feel free to browse the archives though. I saw a good handful of deer between Little Rock and Memphis. I just talked to them to make sure they stayed in their lane so I could stay in mine……at least until I passed them. Lol

Once I arrived we hung out for a bit and then took off to go to the pep rally. Nothing special about that but I did see some gay dudes JSetting (Jett Setting) and some trannies. I have video and pics but my cam is at home so I’ll upload later. To say it is entertaining is an understatement. We took the kids out trick or treating at the mall later that night since it was Halloween. My BFF has a 1 year old and her sister (who is now staying with her…more on that later in another post) has an 8 year old. It was boring as hell but the highlight was this lady dressed up as a Krispy Kreme employee. Her name….Kristy Crème. LMAO!! She was decked out with a KK hat, an apron, a too short dress, a white jacket to cover up the ass that showed because her dress was too short, white tights, and skripper shoes!. I tricked her into taking a pic with my friends nephew (the 8 year old) so that I could capture all her on film. I‘ll upload that too once I figure out how to block his face out.

Saturday included the parade, tailgating, and partying that night of course. Prior to us going out that evening my BFF and her sister got into it. This is nothing new to me. My BFF, her twin brother, and her sister always argue….ALWAYS! And it’s ALWAYS about the dumbest shit known to man. I’ve known them since I was 9 years old so I just shut up, listen, laugh, and wait it out. Well that evening, her sister was cooking something (I can’t remember what exactly) and my BFF made a comment about how she felt it should be done. Next thing I know her sister is going off, my friend is going off, and I head upstairs to curl my hair. Lol One of the college buddies eventually comes upstairs to where I was at and whispers, “Have they always been like this?”. I just nod my head and laugh. I told her best bet was to just stay out of the way because they would be done in about 20 minutes or so and sure enough I was right. Well it turns out little sister was REALLY po’d because she straight up left the house. LMAO! So I keep getting ready and the others do as well. About 30 minutes pass and I ask my BFF had she called her sister. She says yeah but she’s not answering the phone. Then she starts going off on a tangent about how she knew she would try and ruin this weekend for her blah blah blah. I just looked, shook my head, laughed, and told her both of them were acting like kids. Well lil sis eventually comes back and as soon as she walks through the door my BFF is all over her like white on rice. “Where did you go? ….Why didn’t you answer your phone?.....blah blah blah” I kindly (not really) told her just to shut up and let her cool off because the last thing you need right now is for your babysitter to remain po’d and leave again because we (pointing to the others) don’t need a babysitter and are going out with or without you. LMAO!

We finally get ready, give each other the girlfriend “you look good!” stamp of approval and are ready to leave out the door. My BFF takes the baby, let me remind you that he is ONE, over to her nephew (who is EIGHT) and sits the baby on his lap and says perky as hell, “I’m ready!”. *blink blink blink*

Me: Are you going to go upstairs and tell your sister we are leaving so she knows the kids are down here by themselves?
BFF: She’s not even talking to me, what am I supposed to say?
Me: Are you for real?
BFF: silence
Me:*pushing her in the bedroom so the kids don’t hear me cuss her out* Seriously, both of ya’ll are way too old for this shit. She’s not talking to you? What are you supposed to say? That boy is eight years old…your baby is ONE use some common sense.Take your black ass upstairs and tell your sister, who is gracious enough to watch your child, that we are leaving.
BFF: But…..
Me: Put on your big girl panties and grow the fuck up….for real.

So she does and we leave. After we all got in her ass in the car, we did surprisingly have a very nice time that night and a remainder of the weekend. Sunday was a relax day and Monday I left. All in all a fun time was had even if I did almost have to choke a beesh.



Friends….gotta love ‘em.

YES WE DID!!!

I am so full of joy and pride right now…..truth be told I’m OVERJOYED!!! I sat on the phone with some of my friends watching the results come in and we discussed the what if’s (i.e. the ReThug’s steal it again) then……then……this happened.

(The crowd in Grant Park, at 10:00 when the election was called for Obama)



We all hollered, screamed, and cried. I don’t think I’ve said OMG so much in my life at one time. Z was SO excited and happy! We laughed (I cried so more) and hugged just enjoying the moment. I jumped off the phone with my friends and called my mom. Ya’ll….*smdh* she and her friend were WAY more crunk. Lol She was visiting her friend in my hometown and told me people were shooting their guns outside. All I heard, was “Yeah keep on shootin ‘em, aaaaaallll night!!!”. I was DONE. LMAO!!I called my sisters and of course their kids were excited. It means a lot to them too, but now they know that something that once was considered impossible to do is a possibility for them. For that alone, I am grateful.

With that being said…enough with all the mushy stuff.

LET’S CELEBRATE!!!!

Hoe Saddown!

The Hoe Saddown award of the day goes to these tragic imps.

imp
–noun
1. a little devil or demon; an evil spirit.

And is it just me or does it look like the lead "singers" teeth are double in number of what an actual human beings should be. Her mother must have procreated with JAWS or something.....I'm just sayin....

I'll just let Charles speak for me today....... Don't you just want to give him a big ole' hug?! *sigh*

Charles Meets Barack

If you vote, Starbucks buys your coffee

I ain't no hollaback girl.........

.....so I'll just say I will see ya later. I'm off to see my BFF in Nashville.



And oh yeah, I got another Obama sign. It is now displayed in the window of our house. lol

Awww Naw Hell Naw.....

....man they done up and done it!!!

Ya'll, I've been ROBBED!! One of those crazy loons that you see or hear about on the web stealing Obama yard signs got to our house this morning! It happened between the time of 10 a.m and 1:30 p.m today. How do I know you ask? Because it was still in my yard when I returned home from one of my doc. appointments and when I left to go to the other doc appointment it was gone. Maaaaaaaan, I'm PISSED! So pissed I decided to go file a police report. My anger still had not stifled while sitting blind as a bat in the eye doctor's office, so I made the executive decision (while trying to read the eye chart no less) to go see the po po's.

I sent a text to Z and he called me back laughing! Can you believe him?! I hate men sometimes.

Z: Are you really going to file a report for a $7 sign?
Me: It was $8 and yes the hell I am. You got a problem with it?
Z: Nope. You're gonna do what your gonna do anyway *chuckles*
Me: You know what? I can't talk to your black ass right now. We've been robbed and you are laughing at me.
Z: But Babe....it's just a sign.
Me: It's more than just a sign....it's the fuckin principal. I feel violated.
Z: Ok, baby don't get mad. Are you going to get another one?
Me: And you know this. I'll talk to you later.

And that's just what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I will be marching my black ass right up to the HQ in North Little Rock, AR to purchase another one. I don't care if the election is next week. In my humble opinion, that's all the more reason to have it.........I just hope they have some for me to buy. They had just gotten a shipment in when I got the 1st one. *sigh* Wish me luck!

Anyway, I did file the report. I just got back a little while ago. It was fairly quick and painless. I had to wait about 30 minutes because they were grilling some guy (I was sitting right by the interrogation room) they had pulled over about riding around with weed in his car. Once I heard them in there, it helped to pass the time as it was quite interesting. I didn't make out everything they were saying due to the background noise in the lobby but basically ole boy said it wasn't his. lol Is it ever? LMAO.

Enjoy the vid. It's Nappy Roots doing what else....AwNaw! lol

Gotta be there in the morning

It's the ass crack of dawn, 6:52 am, and I'm up. That's not really that strange since I wake up @ 5 (or somewhere close to it) during the week to get ready for work. I'm one of those folks that likes to go in early so I can get a headstart on my work (read so I can leave early). Anyway, what is strange is that I'm off today. Why are you up so early then you ask? Weeeeeeelll, I had to take my car up to the shop before Z went to work so I could have the other car to ride around in today for my doctors appointments. Now I am just waiting on them to open so I can drop my keys off. To help pass the time (and to help me stay awake), I'm online blog hoppin and found this youtube clip. At first I gasped, then before I knew I was laughing so hard. I'm talking about the kind of laugh that comes deep from within. Anyway, I know this vid looks a bit familar and it starts out that way but don't stop it too soon or you will miss out. This is funny (and short), so press play and enjoy!

Don’t Nobody Bring me NO BAD NEWS!

Well, no more anyway.

This has been a rough week for the state of AR. I’m sure most of you have heard reports of the anchorwoman, Anne Pressly who was attacked in her home last week and passed away this past Saturday. Her assailant has yet to be found.
http://www.katv.com/news/stories/1008/564436.html

There was also another death of a young lady by the name of Sonya Ratliff. She was brutally shot to death, in front of her children, by her piece of shit ex-boyfriend. Her assailant has yet to be found.
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=74460&catid=2

And now if that wasn't enough, three students at my (and SouthernGal’s) alma mater UCA were shot last night. Two of those three are now dead. One assailant has been found, they are still on the lookout for the others involved.
http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=74572&catid=2

And to top it all off, Jennifer Hudson lost not only her mother but her brother as well this weekend. I know it’s now AR news but it’s still truly tragic. Her nephew is STILL missing. He’s only 7….just a baby. It hurts me when innocent children are abducted for no other reason than greed and selfishness. My only wish to help make this all better is that Julian King is returned home safe and sound.

It's time to draw out the big guns to lighten my mood. Yep, I need to hear something from The Wiz and I can't think of a better song than the title of the post.

Sorry it's not the actual clip from the movie, they have disabled embedding. If you want a looksie, just follow the blue link...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8i7dBj1Zjs

JOE THE FOOL.....

If there's one thing I can't stand it's folks that think they are special or believe that they hold a higher ranking in life just because of who they are (or who they think they are).

John McCain’s brother, JOE the fool, called 911 because of the DMV traffic.“He called the police emergency line because he was angry he was stuck in traffic. The 911 call came into the City of Alexandria on Oct. 21st That's creating some buzz because it appears to come from Joe McCain, John McCain's brother.

Operator: 911 state your emergency
Caller: It's not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic? (pause)
Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up)

The complaint call about traffic on the Wilson Bridge, outrageous enough that the 911 operator called back. The voicemail on the other end, appears to belong to Joe McCain, brother of presidential candidate, John McCain."Hi this is Joe McCain I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project... I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John."”

I thought the district was known for it's traffic. Hell, anywhere near or around 5 o'clock on any given workday, most major cities have it. Has he never heard of rush hour? I guess he's only watched the movie, then again I take that back. I swear some people can be so damn dumb.

It Was Only a Matter of Time........

I'll be damn if he didn't do a good job but I just have one querstion....Where's his wig??!!

I love the Geighs! lol

Muffin tops……*sigh*

You would think the fact that the pants these people are wearing being uncomfortable as hell would be enough…..you would think.

You would think the fact they are tight enough to take your blood pressure would be enough….you would think.

You would think the fact someone, at some point, is talking about you would be enough……you would think.

You would think the fact that your belly looks like an extra boob in them would be enough…..you would think.

You would think that you would get tired of the stinging red ring that appears around your waist (ladies you know what I mean! we’ve all had it at least once) when you take those suckas off…….you would think.

You would think that your daughter poking your tummy would be enough……you would think

Ladies, if you know someone like this, someone who prefers their muffins a little closer to the heart and not just out of the oven, I beg of you……BE A FRIEND!! Intervene and take them to the nearest shopping plaza and introduce them to the next size up. My vision ain’t been the same since I saw this lady at the store earlier. Her MT was a lot worse than the picture if you can believe it and yes her daughter was poking at her tummy tum tum. *shudders*

This message was brought to you by the letters “M” , “T”, and a visit to Wal-Mart.

Horoscopes

Virgo: No more trips down Memory Lane; you need to focus on the present. Sure, some of your yesterdays truly rocked, but so does today. The fun you have with Aries or Taurus is once in a lifetime.

I don't read my horoscope often and when I do it occassionally rings true to things that are going on in my life. The one you see above hit me like a ton of bricks when I read over it at 6 o'clock Sunday morning.

*Sidenote: I fell asleep (on the loveseat) watching some whack ass rental Z and I picked Saturday night and woke up at five Sunday morning in the same spot. lol

Anyway, I've been thinking a lot about the past for a few weeks...old experiences (good and bad), friends, boyfriends, things that could have happened, or maybe even stuff that should have happened that I didn't allow. Simply put, I've had a bad case of the "whatifItis" and it's done nothing other than to focus my thoughts on things that really aren't important anymore. Sure, it's always great to reminisce but now it's time for me to jump back on the saddle and focus on today and the wonderful life I do have.

SOFA KING DEAD!!!

Why do folks insists on letting ish like this leak onto the internets???!!! Baby, next time just press delete. LMAO!!

Weekend Recap

This weekend turned out to be more eventful than I expected. I guess I should start with Friday. Z and I went to the fair, of course, and did our usual thing of walking around, stopping to eat a little here and there and people watching. Unfortunately for FreakyD, there were no half nekkid chicks available to photograph but there was an abundance of fashion fuckery provided by the teeny boppers. There was one set of girls that truly took the cake. They were all dressed alike in that they all had on the same type of clothes just in different loud colors. Their carefully thought out attire consisted of a too tight t-shirt, skin tight hot pants, and monochromatic plastic jewelry. I initially just shook my head until Z, who rarely calls folks out, made a comment about them being the FairDreamGirls then commenced to do a play on the Dreamgirls theme song from the movie and started singing “we’re you’re FairDreamgirls” . I was DUNZO!!! I tried to snap a pic but the camera on my phone reacts to slow so oh well. Sorry FD! Lol We also saw some tigers for an act they have. OMG, those of some of the most BEAUTIFUL creatures I have ever seen in my life. They were huge and intimidating (thank the lawd for being a big fence) but you couldn’t help but just to stare and admire them. I only wish we had gotten there soon enough to see the show. Oh well, that’s the story of my life….always a day late and a dollar short.

Saturday, I mainly lounged around the house during the day. I got the notion to get out of the house around 6 or so and called my friend to see if she was still doing the gathering @ her house. She said she was and also told me one of my running buddies from school was staying with her for the weekend. After a few stops around town, I stopped by her house and had a couple of drinks.

Sidenote: My friend had a Long Island Ice Tea w/rum made by Barcadi that was sooooo good! I have to try and remember to stop and get a bottle of it because if there’s one thing ARGal likes in her liquer is Rum…..YUM!!!

Anyway, after sitting around and catching up with everyone, I made an executive decision to go out to the alumni party. We made it there @ around eleven o’clock or so and the crowd was decent. I saw a few faces from my days there while walking around around (and getting another drink, lol).

Sidenote 2: I hate bar drinks. Why do they insist on putting bookoos of ice in your sh*t to water it down? For $7, half of my drink should not taste like H2O halfway through my drinking experience. *sigh*

I even saw AceBoonKoon there. Remember her? I’m too lazy to go back and find the post but needless to say that was a big surprise since (1) she didn’t attend the same college as me and (2) I haven’t spoken to or seen her in so long. I’ll have to post about that separately because to say that was interesting is an understatement. Lol I saw one of my homegirls and went to grab her to come over where I was sitting on my way back to the table I saw what I thought was a familiar face. I told her I’d BRB and went back to the bar and low and behold who did I see???? SOUTHERNGAL!!! I tapped her on her shoulder and she looked at me and smiled (she’s really friendly, I would have probably given me the side-eye. LMAO) I asked “Southerngal?” she smiled and gave me a big ole hug!

Sidenote3: Pictures don’t do her justice, she’s so pretty!!!

We didn’t talk for too long because I didn’t want to leave my friend waiting but once we saw each other face to face we realized we really didn’t know each other which is just so strange! Lol We talked a few minutes more and that was that. No pics or anything. WHAT?! Ya'll know I don't put my pics on the internets! LOL Southern, we should meet up for lunch or something one day, I neglected to mention that in my excitement. Hit me up via email.

Anyway, that was my weekend in a nutshell. More than what I planned but fun nonetheless.

What’s that?

There’s quite a bit going on this weekend in Central Arkansas. We have the start of the state fair today, the Susan G. Komen race for the cure tomorrow morning, and my college alma maters homecoming is tomorrow as well. Out of those 3 events, I will be doing 1 ½. What’s the half you say? I honestly had no plans of participating in any of the homecoming festivities. I remember SouthernGal asked me a few weeks back was I going to homecoming and my reply was “what’s that?”. Lol The entire time I attended there I went to maybe two football games and hell even that may be a stretch. I know for sure I went to at least one. My preference was to take a nap during the games so that I would be ready for the after parties. I told ya’ll I didn’t like sports. Lol FYI….Southern and I attended the same college and don’t know each other (although every time I see her face on her blog all I can think is that she looks REALLY familiar). We had the same major and everything so I am pretty willing to bet we took some classes together or at least passed each other in the halls of the BBA building quite often. :-)

Anyway…..my friends have been calling and asking me if I’m attending any of the functions. Of course, I’ve told them no but they are encouraging me to participate (after they had to remind me that homecoming was this weekend…I’m a mess). I told them if they can figure out a good reason to lure me out of the comforts of my home then I may reconsider. I was also invited to a house party Saturday night, so who knows. SouthernGal if I am persuaded enough, you may just see some strange chick with a short hair do come tap you on your shoulder hollerin out SOUTHERN!! Lol Just kidding, I’m not that crazy…well yeah I kinda am. Never mind.

Random thought: I cut my hair! I don’t think I mentioned it but I got it whacked off about 3 weeks ago. I got tired of the ponytail I was rocking everyday thanks to the summer heat. I initially wanted it cut like Tabitha on that Salon Makeover show on Bravo (LOVE that show by the way) but changed my mind and now it’s cut like V.Beckham’s hair. Not the cropped style she has now but the angled cut prior to that. Anyway, it’s cute on me and I love it. I think I shall keep it shorter for awhile because honestly these types of cuts have always flattered my face more.

Moving on, I won’t be doing the race for the cure. I haven’t even purchased a t-shirt yet! I’m so off track this year. I’m just not in the mood to walk through the streets of Downtown Little Rock/North Little Rock with 45,999 other women and children. I told my friend that if I go this year the best I could do was cheer from the sidelines and get all the free stuff they give out (because I usually miss out on most of it because I walk). She says she understands because she’s not going either. Lol Oh well, there’s always next year. I’ve participated for the past 7 years though so I guess me taking off one won’t hurt. I’m still going to run out today to the store they’ve set up (if time permits) to see if they have any shirts left. It’s the least I can do.

So that only leaves one thing for sure that I will be doing….THE FAIR. I know…I’m so country. Lol I’ve been feenin for a corn dog for awhile. I know some people will be like but they sell them at the grocery store. You know as well as I do that there is nothing like the taste of one @ the fair….nothing. I also want a turkey leg but not to eat by itself. I usually get a couple of them so I have one to make greens with now and one to make greens with later. I only cook them a couple times a year so it works out great. Speakin of I need to check with the local grocery store to see if they are doing that token thing again where you pay like fifty cents or a dollar to get in on the first day. If not, I may not be going to the fair either. Lol

Have a great weekend!

Brainwaves

Driving into to work this morning I heard THE most random thing on the radio. I was listening to a caller on the Tom Joyner Morning Show and she wanted Tom to speak to the listeners to encourage them on how important it was to vote because of an experience she had while at the beauty shop this weekend. This lady, who lives in Michigan, said she was speaking with a young girl about the elections. The girl proceeded to tell her that they don’t have to vote now because McCain dropped out of Michigan. (FreakyD, come get your cousin!!!)

I’ll wait while you pick your jaw up off of the floor.

Her mama must have spent a little too much time in front of the microwave while carrying her. Are the youngins nowadays really this lost and clueless?? Please tell me this was just a rare occurrence of stupidity and not the norm. I beg of you. My spirit is vexed.

All Show and NO SUBSTANCE

As usual with the tragedy that is Sarah Heath Palin, we got MORE OF THE SAME NOTHING! More having to repeatedly hear the words Maverick, Joe Six Pack (WTF is that about???), Governor, Mayor, and Alaska. More having to hear her never directly answer the question. More of her and that damn winking!! More of her hauling that damn baby around with her everywhere. I know I ain't the only person who thought that kid should have been at someone's house instead of up there. And why was she patting his back like that for? Wasn't he already sleep? I know that's beside the point but she just irritates me on so many levels.UGH!!

She played the media card and please believe me when I tell you they have not been NEARLY as hard on her as they should be. She needs to be called out her bullshit and held accountable for her actions. Her performance in this debate was nothing more than sentences that she had stated before and worked around to sound different. Yeah she may have picked up a couple of new catch phrases (Say it ain't so Joe) and may have given a shout out to the elementary school (WTF?) but it just didn't hit home. The only reason she (barely) made it through was because of that huge stack of note cards she had. If I didn't know any better I could have sworn she was on a cell over there texting somebody for help. lol

Biden on the other hand respected not only the American people but the moderator and answered the questions given. Answers that we want and need to hear. He did a good job of going after McCain and tying him to the Bush administration instead of trying to deliver lame ass one liners to dance around the topics. I think he is a great compliment to Barack and I absolutely cannot wait to see them elected into office!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!!!!!!!!

Fasten your seatbelts!

Work is kickin my patootie today, on the day of the debates no less, but I had to make time to fit this post in. I had intentions to get mentally prepped to listen to Sarah and all the fuckery she is sure to deliver tonight but yet I must work. I guess I'll just stop by the liquor store on the way home instead and pick up a bottle of something. Ripple anyone?? lol I figure I'll have a better chance of deciphering just what the hell she is saying if I am slightly plastered

Anyway, I found this vid on airamerica.com and it's quite a hoot. I listen to the live stream @ work sometimes during the afternoons because let's face it, there's only so much of Wendy Williams and her donkey I mean Charlemagne I can take. lol Take a looksie and ENJOY! And enjoy the debates tonight.



OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T BREAFE!!!

This vid is hilarious ya'll!!

AR Gal Letter

Dear white lady,

I saw you and your man walking down the street early this morning on my way into work. As I sat waiting at the stoplight, I watched you guys and my eyes dwindled down to your feet. I thought you had on flip flops since the bottom of your foot looked like a dark shadow but to my surprise, there was nothing there. Just your dirty feet looking like charcoal briquettes. I looked over to your man and saw he had on foot apparel. Neither of you looked down and out on your luck and looked like you could afford at least one pair of shoes. So strange! As both of you turned the corner, you seemed to stumble. Perhaps you were drunk, perhaps not. In any circumstance, seeing you this morning made me scratch my head and wonder why you would venture out like that in 55 degree weather. All I ask is to do better next time. Your feet (and mankind) will love you more for it.

Thanks in advance,

AR Gal

UGH!!

Help us all!!

I SERIOUSLY cannot wait until Thursday......

I don't think I've felt this much excitement since I went to Disneyworld as a kid....okay well maybe that's a stretch but you get my point. As I watched the latest train wreck that is the McCain/Palin ticket, I had several random questions and thoughts that crossed my mind.

Follow along with me if you will (video is below)

1. Does she know that she's stupid or has she just been brainwashed into thinking that she's not?
2. Is it just me or does Old McDonald look REALLY uncomfortable starting @ the 53 second mark of this interview when dummy mcdumbpants gives her scripted yet incorrect answer?
3.On a scale of 1-10, how embarassed does she look @ the 1:00 minute mark? I vote a 10!!!
4. How in the phuck is it considered "gotcha journalism" when a voter was simply asking her stance on an important topic?
5. How tragic was play-dough face's joke @ minute mark 1:06?
6. Ummmm, I don't think Katie Couric was addressing the question to you fool! (please reference minute mark 1:24)
7. I saw that editing glitch @ minute mark 2:30. What happened CBS? She said something dumber than normal didn't she?
8. People can be excited about Sarah all day long McCain, that still doesn't change the fact that she's dumb.as.hell.



OBAMA-BIDEN '08!!!!!!

In lieu of the upcoming political smackdown that is sure to ensue later this week (ie the VP debates), I will shall start back up posting the silliest, funniest, and most embarassing ish about Sarah Palin I can find. Not that it will be that hard, that crazy bitch is not one egg short of the coo-coo's nest, she IS THE PHUCKIN COO-COO'S NEST (not the mention one of the biggest jokes this country has ever seen).

On your mark, get set, leeeeet's gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

These songs are on my playlist if you wanna listen after this post disappears into the archives. lol

Got Gas?

No not the internal kind you silly rabbits! Gas, ie petro, fuel, etc., etc., etc.

I ran across this clip while surfin the web tonight. It's video from a local station somewhere in the Carolina's about the gas shortage there. While otherwise pretty boring, please be sure to pay attention to the woman at the very beginning going off on someone that cut in front of her while waiting to get gas. They show it again at around the 1:30 mark.

We (in AR) experienced this same problem a few weeks ago prior to Ike hitting. There were long lines everywhere you went. I was on the other side of town from my house when I got THE call saying that I should go gas up. Mkay cool. Maaaaaan, I pulled into the Wally World parking lot and there were no less than 10 cars in each lane waiting. NEXT! I decide to go check out Exxon and saw (before I even got close) that the line of people waiting to go there was in the street. *sigh* I caught a glimpse of what looked to be an empty space at the gas station diagnol from Exxon and low behold it was not just a mirage! I made a beeline for it and snagged the space and was giddy with glee because it felt like I had just hit the lottery.......until I found out that not only were they out of unleaded but mid-grade as well. Oh vey! What's a girl to do I thought? Do I waste gas riding around town looking for available cheap gas or just suck it up pay premium prices and weather the storm? I sucked it up. There was no sense in looking for something that may or may not have been there and sacrificing what petro I did have left to look for it. I left with a full tank and a slightly bigger hole in my bank account. Oh well....it is what it is right?

Anyway, here's the vid. Enjoy.




OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update Deux

So I tuned into the radio station again today after still not hearing anything about Ms. BIB (BussItwindows Baby). It turns out that I didn't listen at the right time as she did call back in yesterday. I called into the station to talk to the dj directly and he told me that ole girl did indeed follow through. She broke every single last windshield AND mirror on BOTH cars. bwahahahahahahaha. I asked him if she got caught. He said that he didn't know and wasn't sure where they stood in the relationship. Ummmmmm, color me naive but I'm willing to bet that they are DUNZO!!!! LMAO!!! He also told me that she would be calling back in with more details of the sordid affair. I told Z about my convo and he said that he heard some guy call in that said he was in the area and saw one of the cars being towed off. *snicker*

I hope she drove off quick after she finished because the charges and hefty repair bill she is sure to incur if she didn't will not be purty.

Update

Well not really. I tuned in to the radio station Friday on my way home from work to see if Ms. Bussitwindows Baby would call back in to give an update but heard nothing. The dj confirmed yesterday that she didn't call Friday but he was hoping to hear from her Monday. She didn't call in while I was in the car so I'll tune in again today to see if I can get an update.

In the meantime, take a looksie at this. It's an few minutes from Bill Maher's (aka Superhead's ex-side piece) show talking about what else.....politics. :-) Yes it's that time again...don't hate me. lol

Sixth Sense........

Yesterday I tuned into one of the local radio stations on my way home from work. On this particular station, the dj in the afternoon has “the call of day” which normally features crazy stuff someone has called in to say regarding a topic of discussion or just whatever is on their mind. Yesterday’s call came from a young lady that was on her lunch break. She said that instead of going to grab a bite to eat something told her to go home for lunch. When she arrived she said that she saw her best friend’s car in the driveway and her boyfriend’s car (who just happened to be off from work). During the time of the call, she had been sitting outside waiting (up the street from the house) in her car for about 3 ½ hours for someone to come out. Well I guess they were taking too long her liking so she called the radio station to have him play a request (“Bust Your Windows” by Jazmine Sullivan) before she went and handled her business. She said that her boyfriend (probably ex-boyfriend by now) had a bat in the trunk of his car. When I say I hollered, I am not lying. I had my windows down and folks were looking at me crazy. Ask me if I care. LMAO! While you’re at it, ask me why I called the station to try and get through to ask him to have her call back with her location so I could go watch. WHAT?! That’s entertainment! Lol

Z and I talked about it (he heard it too after they replayed it the next hour) briefly but really we were just laughing at the entire situation. I questioned why she didn’t just go back in the house because most folks, IMO, would want to handle that situation right then and there and not procrastinate. He made a good point that some folks can’t handle seeing the actual act, just knowing is enough. I thought about it and wondered how I would handle the situation and honestly I can’t say because I’ve never been in a web quite that tangled before. The closest I’ve come is seeing an ex out with their current girlfriend but honestly what could I do other than roll my eyes and call her an ugly b*tch under my breath? Lol I would hope that I could contain myself but like I said you never really know. I just hope I never have to find out (cause I keep a lot of knives at the house and am not opposed to cutting a b*tch).

Anyway, the dj says he has the chicks # so he is going to call her back today to receive an update. If I remember to tune in, I’ll let ya’ll know what the outcome was.

This is the Same Girl?

So if you look a couple of posts down, you'll see the clip from MadTv of BonQuiQui @ King Burger. This clip is of the lady, Anjelah Johnson, that plays her on the show doing stand up. Yeah, I know major difference right? Make-up is something else. Anyway, this is a little long but but this chick is super funny. Make sure you listen to her do the bit about the nail shop....hilarious.

Homie Don't Play Dat!

Today I had to take my eldest furry child to the vet's office to have a teeth extraction and cleaning done. In an effort to spoil him rotten, AR Gal would frequently buy him those big hearty bones to chew on because he loved them so. In doing so, this has caused him to have a fractured tooth. Now granted noone really knows how it happened but that's my diagnoses and I'm stickin to it. Mkay? Thanks. Unfortunately for my boy, that means no more of those tasty treats but lucky for him I still want to spoil him and his little sister (aka his sidepiece...more on that later) so they will be just fine with other alternatives I've found for them.

So I take him to the vet, talk with the vet asst. for a spell about the procedure that was to be done (a TOOTH extraction and cleaning) say my goodbyes and jet back home. About 3 hours or so after they were complete, I get a call from the office telling me that everything is done and that Cochise is fine but that the procedure was a bit more complex than they first thought. This girl proceeds to tell me that they have irrigated his ears and did some special shit to his nails.

Me: Ummmm, why?

Girl: Well, Dr. B noticed that he had some build-up in his ears and felt that since he was already under that it would just be a good idea. And his nails were really long. So with the extra work done your bill is now $357.

Me: Mmmmm, I doubt that. Why did noone call any of the THREE phone numbers I have listed to ask me or Z for authorization?

Girl: Yes Ms. AR Gal, we are really sorry about that, I don't have an explanation.

Me: Mmmmmmm. ok so when will he be ready to pick up?

Girl: Around two o'clock.

Me: Ok, I'll see you then.

Now I know you're thinking why isn't this girl going off by now right? If not, humor me and play along. I knew they were in some kind of violation but I had to call the state board to make sure. Why? 'Cause I like to have all my cards in play when I'm dealin in bullshit.

I call and state my case to the lady and without missing a beat she tells me they cannot do that. I asked her what needs to happen next and she said try talking to the vet (which I was already going to do) and if then he still didn't want to remove the charges to file a complaint. She then asks who my vet is and I tell her. Her response: "Ohhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooo!! I really hate that but the laws the law." You would have that I said Jesus or something how she responded. See my vet is one of the best in Central AR and is known for his work but I didn't give a damn today.

With that assurance under my belt, I make my way to the office, enter and speak politely. As I step up to the desk , the girl wants to go ahead and have me pay. Ehhhhhhhhhhh, no. I tell her I would like to speak with the doctor first. She seems a little surprised but walks me back to a room. As he enters, we are cordial but he knows I am upset by the look on my face and tell him so. He tells me that he thought I knew about the ear issues and that I wanted that done. Ummmmm, COME AGAIN? I know every spring he goes through this infection thing and we have to get medicine for it but noone said anything about his ears when they were examined just here LAST WEEK for his check-up. He then says yeah but it's harder to actually gauge the extent and since he was already laying there we were better able to see. I told him that I got that and I'm not saying that it was not needed but noone.called.to.ask.me.if.it.was.okay. That is my issue with this, a decision was made w/out my consent. He wasn't gonna die if someone took 5 minutes to pick up the damn phone to call....shit. That's just like you taking your car to the repair shop and them doing work on your car w/out calling to tell you and expecting you to pay. Bump that! I told him that he may not have known but that vet. asst. did and this was unacceptable. We continued to talk and just as I was about to trump him with the state board violation, he goes to get the bill so we can review and proceeds to mark off everything I didn't want to pay for.....which was everything except for the dental extraction and cleaning thank you very much.

Now see, wasn't that easy? *rollin my eyes*

I know I am probably overkilling with the politics posts and stuff but ya'll this crazy bitch really amuses me. I mean really she does. Do yourselves a favor and watch the interviews that she's done with Charlie Gibson so far. Maury Povich is less entertaining...I PROMISE! LMAO!!!

DOWN WITH REPUBLICANS!!

OBAMA-BIDEN '08!

No More BARRACUDA...

"Sarah Palin's views and values in no way represent us as American women. We ask that our song Barracuda no longer be used to promote her image. The song was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. The barracuda represented the business. While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there." - Letter from the band Heart to the Republican National Committee


*exhales*

Now I can go back to loving one of my all-time favorite songs in peace and harmony

*waves spirit fingers*

That is all. Carry on.

Code Pink

So I watched the speeches of Sarah "Peggy Hill" Palin and John Mc T-Pain on Wednesday and Thursday night hence the picture of the day posts I've been doing. I can't elaborate much on what has been said about either one of these dipshits in the past week so I just choose to protest in picture form. lol

Anyway, I noticed during both speeches there were interuptions by these woman running down the steps in the convention center taking their clothes ( and wigs I think) off. I didn't' realize the common demoninator of them all wearing pink until I was listening to C-SPAN this evening. The commentators mentioned and then showed clips of these folks. So I google them and found out that they and I quote:

[CODEPINK] emerged out of a desperate desire by a group of American women to stop the Bush administration from invading Iraq. The name CODEPINK plays on the Bush Administration's color-coded homeland security alerts — yellow, orange, red — that signal terrorist threats. While Bush's color-coded alerts are based on fear and are used to justify violence, the CODEPINK alert is a feisty call for women and men to "wage peace."

You can find out more about them here, http://www.codepink4peace.org/index.php

Anyway, to make a long story short, they were BY FAR the most entertaining portion of either of the speeches IMO. Don't believe me? Take a look

Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh ohhhhhhh shit!

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

One more year older and I still feel like a 19 year old......YEAH RIGHT!!

On the eve and day of my birthday, I've had the connection problems for hell. After purchasing a new modem (after being told that our modem had an error) we've since found out (after spending countless minutes on the phone with our ISP and router manufacturer) the problem was the router. Everything seems to be working well now so keep your fingers crossed it stays that way. We will be making a stop at the local Best Buy to return the modem and spend that money on something else....ie me!!!!! YAY!!!

Since my plans for this evening were so rudely changed on me (see previous post) I'm off to find something to get into this afternoon and evening.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!!

P.S. McCain is STOOPID!!!

*off to what else I Saturday night*

Gawt Dayum the Democrats!!!

And the phluckery of it all continues.....


Please meet Harriet Christian, yet another AVID HRC supporter that felt is was also her duty to make a complete and utter jackass out of herself (in front of the cameras of course) in the name of all things Clinton. The thing about all of these crazy folks poppin up out of the woodworks is that I totally get that they supported and wanted HRC as the Dem. nominee. I can respect that BUT that part of the process is over. She's not even a contender anymore so why all the uneccessary fuss and tears?! This mess is just ridiculous but yet comical at the same time.

Just for shits and giggles, here's another vid of Ms. Christian defending her actions. Oh yeah, and also explaining why she will not be voting for Barack. *sigh*

That was Presidential??!!

This is video of Ann Price Mills ( a delegate) who was interviewed on CNN after HRC gave her convention speech last night. She is, as you will see, an AVID HRC supporter and even though she didn't flat out say it she feels like her homegirl was robbed of the nomination. Ummm, yeah whatever.....get over it. This lady annoyed me on so many damn levels from her butterfly hair clips to the words coming out of her mouth. How can you be a TRUE democrat yet be faced with such a hard decision as to vote or not to vote??!!! Ho saddown!

This comment someone left on the message boards summed it all up for me:

Hillary's supporters remain upset because they lost to a rookie. She wasn't that great of a politician after all. She had the greatest asset any candidate could want: a spouse-President! Forget about the alleged sexism she received. The national media was pro-Hillary from day 1. She played every GOP trick she could think of & worst of all invoked the tragedy of RFK to justify staying in the race & lied about sniper fire in Bosnia. She's pathetic for that alone. Shame on her "historic" campaign.

Have you ever......

....... had a convo with one of your friends where you seriously just wanted them to STFU??!! This happened recently to me while speaking with a friend of mine on the way home from work. We had to cut our convo short as she was at the eye doctor and was just called back to the examining room. Not ten minutes later she calls me back:


Friend: You will NOT believe what just happened to me

Me: Nope...what?

Friend: Okay, so I had just gotten called back for the doctor to see me. She comes in the room to tell me that she will be right with me but she needs to take a call from her vet. She comes back in the room and just before she starts to examine my eye, she breaks down crying.

Me: Her pet must have been really sick or died.

Friend:How did you know?

Me: Weeeeeellllll, it was kinda obvious. Which one was it?

Friend: Girl, her dog died and then this bitch canceled my appointment.

Me: Yeeeeaaaah, that's hard to deal with so I could see why she would.

Friend: Puuulease! We're talking about a damn animal not a human being here!!!

Me: *hears record scratch in my head* Ummmm, what?

Friend: She should have just taken a few minutes to get herself together and come back in to do her job.

Me: Yeah, so you know you called the wrong one to vent to right?

Friend: What?

Me: *I repeat what I just said above* I hear what you're saying but a lot of people, such as myself and Z, think of their pets as family so when you have that loss it's hard.......extremely hard. I've lost a pet before, as you know, and that shit hit me like a ton of bricks. Unless you've had that experience it's hard to relate. I don't expect you to understand though.

Friend: I mean I understand the woman is sad but damn...I had to drive all the way from (insert small town AR about 20 minutes away from LR) to get there and now I have to drive back next with.

Me: I can sympathize with that BUT would you rather her have tried to examine you with tears and snot fallin down her face and doing a poor job at it? Me personally, I would have preferred that she rescheduled so that she could do her job with a fresh mind.

Friend: I guess. I may not even go back now...I'm pissed

Me: Bless your heart.


I was not upset about her feelings about the situation, I just really wanted her to shut up talking to me. I know she was upset and needed someone to vent to but I mean seriously.....*sigh*

Yeah I know...I have issues.

Ehhhhhh......

.......nothing much to say, just hanging out on a Saturday evening. We were finally going to see "The Dark Knight" (shutty FreakD! lol) but when we looked up the times online, we found that we are too late as the only showing (at the local theater) started @ 7:30.....it is now 8:16. Neither one of us felt like driving to LR, me especially since I commute there everyday. Oh well....there's always tomorrow or next weekend. :)

I am craving an Oreo cookie blast from Sonic right now and nothing else. No meat, no potatoes, no veggies just cream, milk, and sugar! I had turkey bacon, toast, and milk w/Nesquick mixed in (strange combo I know) around 1 or 2 this afternoon and nothing for breakfast so you'd think I'd be A LOT hungrier. My appetite on the weekend can be extremely akward as opposed to during the week. I can eat once or twice during the day and be fine but at during the work week I'm always starvin like Marvin.....go figure!

The movie "Enchanted" has started showing on cable. Can I just say that I really really really REALLY like that movie. There's this song that is sung I would guess about halfway through called "How Do You Know" (I think that's the title) and I think that's half of the reason why I like the move. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I have watched it 3 times today just to hear the song. Sue me! lol

I've suggested a game of Monopoly this evening but the man of the house's mind is focused only on dinner. Him hongray! What's that you say dear? You're not cookin?? Guess what....me either! Your debit card is on the table you say? Great! Sonic here I come!!

Hey You…......

Yeah you crazy lady driving the SUV. The next time someone tells your that’s okay just go with it….mkay? Thanks.

I took the pooches walking yesterday and the particular route I chose to go caused me to have to cross a busy street. I was in no hurry and was demonstrating such by occasionally glancing up to check traffic and looking down at my fingernails when all of a sudden I hear a horn honk. I glance up thinking it was just a disgruntled driver when I see this lady had stopped to apparently let us cross the street. Now this street is a two lane with a turning lane in between to get to the street I wanted to cross to. I look the opposite way like mama ‘nem taught me and see cars coming. I turn back to her smile and mouth “That’s okay” and wave for her to just keep on going. I can be bold but I wasn’t about to risk life, limb, and my babies’ paws just because she said it was okay to cross! What happened next not only shocked me but forced me to go hood in the ‘burbs. This woman, instead of just keeping on like normal folk, then decides that I am not appreciative enough of her random act of kindness and proceeds to pull up to my bumper, roll down her window, and tell me so.

“Kind” Crazy Lady: Hey, I was just trying to let you cross the street!
Me: Yeah, I see that. I also see traffic is coming from the opposite side of the road and didn't feel it was safe.
KCL: So why didn’t you go?
Me: *thinking is the bitch serious?* Are you seriously holding up traffic for this? Didn’t you just hear what the hell I said?
KCL: You could have been gone.
Me: You also could have had your dumb ass at the house a long time ago but instead you chose to ignore my signal for you to get the hell on. Now you’ve held up traffic and pissed off me, my dogs, and the folks behind you. Go home stupid ass!!

**Emma was growling by then again she growls at anything that she doesn’t know so that’s not unusual. Lol

She drove off after that but I was just left there standing dumbfounded by that idiot. I almost turned around and went home but I wasn’t about to let her ruin our walk. I did however find a nice size rock on the ground to chunk at her just in case she came back for round two. I swear I have seen/heard/experienced some crazy stuff in my life but this one ranks right up there near the top of the list. What’s even crazier is that she is a part of the staff or teaches @ my alma mater which is just right up the street. I saw her hangtag through the windshield and just shook my head. Just to think, she could possibly be teaching folks something……that’s a scary thought.

Shut up and Drive!

FYI....if you are in the central AR area the Sam's Club in Sherwood has their gas down to $3.31/gal.

Ummmmmmmmmmm..............

......just press play 'cause I ain't got shit else to say

Pole Position

I saw THE craziest thing driving home from work yesterday. I was in the left lane on the interstate behind a big dodge ram. The truck passed me earlier but ya'll know how crazy rush hour traffic can be. Well anyway, I ended up behind the truck again. The person behind the wheel was driving all foolish and almost swerved off the road. You know how people kinda move to the left to see what's holding up traffic? Yeah that's what they were doing. Anyhoo, I soon found out that the reason they were shucking and jiving was because they were trying to catch up with another truck, a dodge ram no less. So anyway, I'm move over to the right lane because I got tired of folks slammin on their breaks and whatnot and still end up behind the original truck. Well, all of the sudden they increase their speed to catch up with the other truck and then these fools go in towards the lines on the road and the driver of the original truck starts passing stuff out of his window to the passenger in the other truck. My mouth was open and my head looked like this

I just kept saying to myself...OMG OMG O.M.G!! lol Of course this caused people to slam on their brakes because noone wanted to be close to either one of them driving all slaphappy and whatnot. I just want to know what kind of hurry that they were in that they couldn't have just (1) pulled over to the side of the road or (2) gotten off on the next exit which was all of ummmmmmmm 30 seconds away to make their exchange. Makes you wonder what they do in lieu of pottybreaks on roadtrips. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. *shudders* Anyway, I was just glad to make it home in one piece and be off the road with the fast and the furious wannabe's.

What's the craziest driving technique you've ever witnessed?

I've loved Bernie Mac since his days with Def Comedy Jam, to "The Kings of Comedy", to "The Bernie Mac Show" and everything in between. You were truly gifted and made me laugh even if I was sad or mad at the world. I wish you peace in the after life and peace and comfort for your family during this time.

Well done Uncle Bernie....well done. :)


I had to come back and add this vid because this is some of the funniest ish I've ever heard in my life and it's one of my favorite parts of "The Kings of Comedy".

Thank God It’s Friday!!

I’m sitting at work right now and the power is out so what better time to post! I’m on my laptop and the battery is really low so I hope that I am able to get this put up before it dies out on me.

Work has been kickin my butt like a slave with calluses on their feet. One of my pet peeves about places of employment are companies that thrive on having unnecessary meetings. I mean really, how do you expect for folks to complete assigned tasks from one meeting if you are having to rush off to another right after the one you just left? Oh vey!! And since when is needle pointing in a meeting kosher??!! Yes, one of the folks, a regional director no less, was sitting in there chillin’ getting her multi-task on! Lol At first I thought she was about to floss her teeth because all I saw was a string hanging from her mouth. The closer I looked; I realized she was threading the needle. It sounds crazy but that is the type of environment I work in. They encourage stuff like that because they know people get bored having to sit for hours at a time discussing strategies (ie the same ish over and over). It’s probably just me and I just need to loosen up but dammit if that’s still not awkward as hell! lol

Anyway, enough of that! I ventured off to M-town last weekend to kick it with my mom and 3 and 4 year old nephews. I do believe I have filled my quota of Disney channel, cartoon network, and piggy back rides for the rest of this year. Needless to say those tiny tots wore me out. I swear if anything ever comes through this birth canal of mine, I truly hope it’s a girl ‘cause boys are ROUGH!!! One was kung foo fighting, the other was tryin to wrestle, both were whining and fallin out on the floor when they didn’t get their way (da hell???). Auntie had enough and called for both of them to go sat their asses down somewhere. I’m not used to all that commotion and noise. Auntie likes peace, quiet, and serenity and I was just WAY outside of my comfort level. What better way to cure that than a nap! One for me, and two for them! YAY!!! After they woke it up, it seemed to rid them of the evil that was lurkin within and they both regained some sense and sensibility. Sunday was a risne and repeat of Saturday but different. We got to go to Chucky Cheese to celebrate my 3 year old nephews birthday (he turned 3 on the 4th). WHOOPEEEEE!!! It actually wasn’t that bad. I’m guessing it’s because it was on a Sunday *shrugs shoulders* Anyway, we had fun, the kids had a lot of fun and my other nephew and niece showed up. I’ll have to post the vid when I get home of them dancing in front of the CC camera. Hilarious! Lol

Anyway, lemme shut this sucker down because the battery is on it’s last leg.

Have a good weekend!

Run for it!

I wasn't going to post today but I saw this video this morning and I could.not.stop.laughing. It's footage of the earthquake that happened in CA yesterday while the Judge Judy show was taping. Now, of course, I'm not that insensitive to laugh @ the actual event. What got me is the plantiff in this video would.not.budge from the table. Not because she was scared but she seriously thought they were going to continue with her case. Ya'll....I hollered. I tried to contain myself but......just watch. You'll see what I'm talking about. lol



I will also admit that I got tickled watching everyone, except the plantiff, run out of the courtroom. Not because they were running for their lives but for the fact that all it took was one person and everyone else was out! Lol Watching it made me think back to something similar that happened to me.


Back when I was a young buck I was in Nashville visiting my best friend. We had all gone out to this club and hadn't even made it in when a fight broke out in the parking lot. So we backed on outta the way so we wouldn't get caught up in the crowd of people watching/participating/whatever. As everything settled down we started making our way back to the door when this girl screamed. It was as if some cattle had suddenly been herded because folks just broke out runnin. Well I look @ my bf and the other folks we were there with and we break out runnin too. A few moments after we started running, my other homegirl just stops, busted out laughing and asked "What is we runnin fo'?" After she caught up (cause I was still runnin), I answered her question. I ain't know but I d@mn sure wasn't about to stand around and find out. Hell those folks were NOT running all willy nilly for nothing. lol Turns out, one of the guys that had been fighting earlier had said he was going to get his gun. That was reason enough for us to take our tails back to her apartment and call it a night.

What do you want now????

I don't blog about the j-o-b too much on here because most jobs are pretty much the same story with the same characters just with different faces and diff't challenges (read bullshit). My current gig is pretty sweet for the most part. The work is relatively easy (it just involves a lot of reading and writing), everyone is pretty cool, and the dress code is extremely lax. You can wear pretty much anything you want on any given day...jeans, shorts (no coochie cutters of course), flip flops, I've even seen some folks with spaghetti strap attire. Now that's a bit much IMO regardless of what they say you can wear but I digress. I guess I just haven't loosened up enough from a strict corporate dress code to get with that program (and probably never will).

The environment is pretty laid back and everyone seems to get along for the most part although I have been able to detect some of the "cliques" and strong dislikes some people have for others. Speakin of which, I've been invited to join the "cool kids" lunch club. In an effort to combat high gas prices and average pay a group of folks decided to form a lunch club that meets a few times a week. They decide on a theme (mexican, italian, etc) and each person brings something to contribute. I was first asked verbally and then sent an email invite. I guess this means I'm "in" now. lol I normally bring my lunch everyday but I may go against my anti-social grain and stop by a few times here and there before the year is up. lol

Anyway, I'm gettin off track because that's not even what my post is about. lol Soooo, within the fancy building you can find almost any nationality of people. It's truly like the UN. Our admin happens to be from the motherland. She's sweet as pie and I really do like her but can I just put something out into the universe real fast?? She.gets.on.my.damn.nerves.sometimes!!!! I know you're like AR Gal, what doesn't??!!

Lemme explain. My employer emphasizes that face-to-face interaction is the preferred form of communication. Me, I'd prefer to just receive an email or talk on the phone and be done with it (please see anti-social reference above). The AA....not so much. She truly takes the ish literally and I suppose I shouldn't knock her for that but still....................*sigh* Anyway, today she came down to my desk no fewer than 10 times (seriously I'm not exaggerating). About the 4th time, I had this look on my face that screamed WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?? UGH!!! I'm not the one to tell people how to do their job but ya'll just don't know how bad I wanted to tell her "really, it's okay if you just pick up the phone and call". lol Honestly, I think the reason why she does it is because english is not her 1st language so her accent is really thick and she may think it's easier to understand her in person -vs- on the phone. To me she sounds the same either way. *shrugs shoulders* I think the annoyance was the fact that the things she wanted were simple things liikkkke I need the key # to your lock on your desk for such and such, do you still have that file on your desk (if she had called she would have found out I didn't and could have saved herself an unecessary trip to my desk), do you have any agenda items for our meeting next week.......the list goes on.

Oh well, there's not much I can do to change it now. I just needed to vent I suppose. I'm going to go to work tomorrow with a better attitude and try to keep it that way.....unless she comes down to my desk again. lol

UPDATE: It is not even 9 am and she has been down to my desk twice already.......

Me and you must neva part............

......ma ki bouncy ball.

Not to be outdone, Emma must get her two minutes of shame....I mean fame too.

Simply put, this dog is a freak of nature. Other than food and the 'rents, fetching is her reason for living. Ever since she grasped the concept, it's been non-stop ever since. Climbing a mountain, walking in hot temp's, getting her shots, sometimes not even dinnertime will make her stop. Nothing but death will keep her from it! Now I don't want folks to get the wrong impression. I love playing fetch with her (because truly it's funny to watch) but when I do certain things of a personal nature, I need her to understand that we need to take a time out.

Sadly we must ignore our precious baby girl sometimes in order for her to get the point that it's not all about her. I too had to learn this lesson and it was a hard pill to swallow. I do believe that it will take her a lot more pills (or a slightly bigger one) as she has quite the big head. It hurts my heart but it must be done.

That's just Nasty................

Dogs eat grass.....

Said grass sometimes makes dogs vomit.......

Vomit is not meant to stay in the body..........

Throwing up is not fun.............

Believe me, I know.............

Seeing a 90 lb. dog do it in front of your face is even less fun............

90 lb. dog usually gives a signal..........

When we see that we rush him outside................

No signal this go 'round....................

Vomit+ carpet= some really fucked up shit...................

Why didn't he move to the tile..................

He's done that before too...................

He's a smart dog........................

Carpet=not good.....................

Tile=still not good but better than carpet..................

Thank goodness for home steam cleaners.................

Thank goodness I happen to really love this damn dog.......................
