I wanna give a huge shoutout to mai peeps...without them i'd be legally crazy by now.

I've had the month from hell because of a combination of work and school and I heart my friends for being so very patient with me being snippy. My frustrations aren't even with my job its with the ONE idiot reviewer I have. Liar....he's a LIAR!!! A grown up professional who should be man enough to say ummmm....i don't know but instead he's a damn dirty nasty coffee breath bad cologne wearing liar! GRRRR....grow up dude and hop on the focused boat. Its crunch time, don't blame your fuck ups on me.

So this bastard liar man has just pushed me over the edge and I've started getting snarky at my friends...but they still love me. Today when I was asked if I had something...instead of a polite "no, should I have" my reply was..."NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS AND I DONT CARE RIGHT NOW..." BLAAARRRGH bitch alert. But not 5 minutes later I see my sweet smiling friends acting like nothing happened. I, duh, apologized and explained I wasn't mad at them just frustrated with my situation.

I loves my BFF for doing the riverdance fingers for no apparent reason and having surgeries on chocolates today. Mmmmmm December Crack with alcohol....good stuff. Thank you miss HMG for randomly checking up on me, even if its only to nom nom on some jelly beans...you so know what I'm going through....

My favorite reaction to the frustration and my snarky attitude with the idiot reviewer I have was from Boobah who reminded me that "frowns make wrinkles..." So true and I don't want to be wrinkled and frustrated that would just piss me off!

YARF and my day didn't end any better. So there I am carpooling, trying to save the environment ( no train, can't handle the commoners today...) and the damn parking garage was backed up. SERIOUSLY....who does this! I guess there was so much damn road construction no one could go anywhere. So in the middle of the not going anywhere I found a radio station playing Y.M.C.A.!!!! Duh...you hear the song you have to dance. So down go the windows and up goes the volume and soon I had all the previously frustrated and pissed commuters in hysterics. I even did the hand pumping typical Village People dance in between the chorus. It was great, I was proud of myself even if I did embarrass the other people in the car....

Take a DEEEEEP BREATH.....

...and exhale.... I just got back from a massage and when the therapist, Janice, stretched out my neck and said take a deep breath and then exhale...i swear i almost cried.

I just got done with my most stressing week ever and I still don't know how I survived. I finished my second semester back in school... WOOHOO...with the turning in of my final last night. Wow I just don't know how I did it when I was earning my bachelors.

My schedule for the past 4 months:
I get up before the sun, commute for a wee more than an hour, work for up to 9 hours, commute back, pay attention to my husband, study or work out or both and then sleep and UP all over again less than 7 hours later. What the hell am I thinking with this schedule no wonder I'm so GD tired.


Soooo yea back to this semester....I'm so glad I'm done. I hate that there is always one real prick of a professor who is so hardcore about everything he just doesn't realize how crappy he really is. This guy actually critiqued the fonts we used in our paper. FONT!!! Who cares!!! No self respecting business person is going to say this proposal is crap because he used Arial and not Times New Roman. ASSHOLE!!! Has reality so escaped you, are you so fed up and bored with life you have to take a point off for a FONT!!! Grrr....well at least that is dead and out of the way.

The other professor was AWESOME...he didn't care what font we used. He was also smart enough to give us a group paper. This is an extremely smart idea for anyone who is a professional taking an online class. You don't have to focus on a huge amount of information and if you don't want to put it into a decent format, don't volunteer for the task. TA DA...stress removed.

On a lighter note, 'ish, the trains got screwed up earlier this week...Monday or Tuesday....somebody jumped in front of a freight train so CSX shut the tracks down. OK that part sucked but I found my new heroin ( like female hero not the drug). So I'm on the DC metro, and its 6:45am, all commuters and third shifters who want to get home. I'm sitting next to a very well dressed normal smelling business man so i hunker down for my 1 hour ride on the red line when, I think it was at Bethesda, a small Asian woman in sweats, sneakers, a fluorescent yellow baseball hat carrying a tote bag and a walking cane boards the train.

I love her already for the hat. She's old she needs to sit as soon as possible so she shuffles over to the designated senior/handicap seats where a business man and his overnight sized bag are sitting. Since the bag is blocking an entire seat, she doesn't say please move the bag like a normal person...she take her cane and begins to BEAT THE BAG until this guy moves it. I LOVE THIS WOMAN! She's not taking no shit from no one. And the look on the mans face was priceless. For 2 seconds he wanted to argue with this woman for beating the bag and then he realized um no she's 200 years old i'm going to lose this arguement.


Final thought for Friday night...If you are riding the DC Metro during commuting hours, do not think its OK to take an entire seat for luggage, it will get beat up!

I fold...

I'm done I give up I fold. Work. School. Training. Lack of Sleep. I GIVE UP!!!

I've done nothing but bust my ass for the past 4 weeks on some damn project and this fool has the audacity to call me out and start saying shit that i'm not doing my job. OH I DON'T THINK SO!!! Overtime, Saturdays and generally not eating throughout the day just so you can look at me and say sorry i'm not ready to review this I dont have my data together. SCREW YOU!! Now you say I didn't do the file in time....oh seriously.

On top of this bullshit its finals time. Yes I'm in Graduate school and no its not fun. Of course I'm not doing this because I'm interested I'm doing this because I want to be in charge of the village idiots one day. Its Karma baby. One day after all this lack of sleep and lack of paying attention to my husband I'll be a better more smarterer person and you know what thats damn cool.

I ran a 5K on Saturday....sick to my stomach...tired...dehydrated...I eventually finished 1 second off my time from last year. Grrrr why the fuck did I decide that I needed to run a marathon? Tis the season to start training....whatever. But my BFF and I are running together in August so thats kind of a goal setter. Figure if I can train myself to run 10 miles in 200 degree heat with 1000% humidity I can run a marathon at the end of October.

So yea I guess you could say I'm a little frustrated. I would love a moment for a vacation. If I didn't have so much damn crap to do around here then I'd probably sneak down to the islands this weekend with the hubby. Yeppers...the spoiled pilot (its ok i say it to his face) gets whisked away to the DR. Fucker.

Thats it. I want to keep this up to date more often, I think its a good place to vent about running and dippy doos that I work with.

Oh and I'm not allowing any comments...some people wrote some nastiness mostly because they're ignorant so thats the end of that, you lose your privilege.

Kissses and hits to the face with a chair!

Watch A Squirrel Day!

Yes it really is....so go take a moment to watch a small rodent gather nuts and run about all crazy like. It won't hurt you and it'll get you outside so it's all good!

I have a new addiction, its my BFF's fault...but she loves me so its ok. Sudoku. I originally vowed that since this game was an enigma to me, I wouldn't try it....and then I learned how to play. Its way easier than I was led to believe, and its all puzzle-y like which I love! This is not my first game addiction...it used to be crossword puzzles, that was brought on by Boobah, he's fabulous and semi-collects them to do on snow days and the train and suchness. He inspired me, but now its Sudoku. And there are websites and you can check to see if you are correct and OHHHH THE ADDICTION!

You know what is starting to bug me (if you live in the DC area and listen to real radio not satellite you get this)...all the freaking jewelry store commercials and the idiot way they potray women in them. Originally it was the lady who almost cooked a ring because her boytoy put the ring in a microwave! Apparently the writers think that people just turn on microwaves without first observing if there is something in them...or maybe womens just get bored and like the humming noise...DUH! who randomly turns on microwaves without looking in them. Really when you opened the little door you don't look first....you just stick your food in and hit start?? Or how about the lady who CANNOT BELIEVE her husband knows where to buy jewelry....yea he asked his dad for advice. Yo lady! If you are with a guy who still can't figure out where to shop on his own for jewelry, toss him back and find a new one! And my absolute current favorite stupid commercial...the lady who LAUGHS at the fact that she has a favorite jewelry store...We will continue HAHAHAHAHA to shop here....Seriously...what's funny...I don't get it....

URRRFFFF!!!! Just put something on the radio for all the stores...I don't know something like "Hey guys...did you f*ck up again? Anniversary or Birthday soon...no creative thought process to figure out a unique gift? BUY JEWELRY...because sparkly things always make women smile...." Simple easy to the point!!

Happy Brick Day

Yes kiddies....its Brick Day.

Its also Poetry, Grouch, Sewing Lovers and White Cane Safety Days and if you ask my BFF and myself, we both liked White Cane Safety Day just as much.

Brick Day...what it is you ask? Apparently some dude somewhere tried to sell brick for houses in the greater Southwest of the country and no one was having it. They all wanted Adobe cause its real purdy like. So he sold his business and did what any other defeated American would do...took 2 or so bricks, found a dive bar and started drinking. So lets celebrate! Rules say to call in sick to work, get a brick or 2 and go sit in a bar and get piss drunked! Yea, then there's reality...but you have to agree its a funny idea!

Oh I experienced a 5 year old's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's this weekend. That was entertainment on a new level. Giant tubes hanging from the ceiling, pens (yea pens like what you stick cattle in) sectioned off for some other random rides. And all the flashing light, sound making, jiggling up and down and sideways rides you can get your kid on in under 2 minutes. Then the giant ratman comes out from gawd only knows where to shove nasty over sugared icing covered cake down your kids throat while he riles them up some more. This is after the greased out nasty heartburn inducing pizza is thrown at them. Don't forget to wash it all down with high fructose corn syrup juice or straight up soda. Really...have parents become so f*ckin' spoiled they can't even take 2 hrs to plan a party for their own kids!

What ever happened to nice fun at home parties with homemade cakes and throwing some hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill while the kids from school or daycare come over to just run around and play games in the backyard? Where moms could sit on the deck and gossip about inlaws and bad sitcoms while the the lil ones run around and dads could wander about the backyard with beers and chat about golf and inlaws. Do we really need to contain our childrens like this? Do parents really not want to put any effort or thought into the parties their kids have?

Grrr....

Backlog of crazy people

I thought it would be appropriate (and time consuming) to post a list of the most recent crazy people and events I have encountered. Enjoy!

Baby Huey - The 7ft tall, 300lb man with not so many teeth, a broke down hat, not so matching shoes, old t'shirt and sweatpants who will walk past people on the sidewalk paying on attention to them whatsoever. He then looks up at me, smiles, waves and screams...HELLO!!!...looks back down and continues to walk and mumble to himself

The Screaming Trashman-A hispanic gentleman, who when first looked upon just seemed kind of dirty and holding a Panera soft drink cup. When I got closer to him...he started to scream nonsense and garbledness into the nearest trashcan. I can do an impression if you'd like...ALLLLLERRRRGGGGRRRR BARBARBARBARBRAB BAAAAAHHHHHHH....

Hospital Gown Guy - The nice man wandering down the sidewalk, jeans, hospital gown, hospital bracelets...he wandered to the nearest pay phone, I guess he needed a cab.

Dog Walker - At Caribou Coffee across the street from my office building they have a nice little terrace with tables and chairs and it is quite nenjoyable. One fine afternoon, I was enjoying the idea of a a smoothie and noticed a guy wearing a white hardhat, scruffy clothes sitting at one of the tables yelling "NO SIT THERE BE QUITE" or something to that effect. Yea...he was yelling at the end of a dog leash that was tied to his chair...no dog at the end.

...A nicely dressed man sat next to me the otherday on the train, he put his briefcase, his coat, his lunchbox and his fatass up on the seat and took up 2 1/2 seats in a row of 3. He then started to breath with quite some difficulty and had a bit of a wheeze too.

...A man at my train station feels the need to do stretches while wearing his suit and holding his brief case every morning....Another lady feels like she can wear belly shirts, probably because she has a belly...her husband always has greasy hair...ew...and then there's the drunk guy that wanders through the whole car and has to touch every seat on the way...I think he works for the government too...sigh...

OK...that's all...more later, I'll even add some pictures...

Hugs and Furries!

My First Blog

OK...welcome to my first blog. I have no idea why I'm doing this, but I felt the need to share the strange happenings in my life with the world. Maybe I need more work or maybe I just need more of a social life.

I am a typical person, I don't go out of my way to find strange people or have insanity happen to me, for some reason it just seeks me out. Ask most of my friends and family, they cannot believe it. Maybe I send out an overly approachable aura or maybe I look insane....whatever it is the crazy folk like me.

A bit of background, parents still married, 1 younger sister, great middle/upper class upbringing, college, husband, soon to have house, great job...nothing out of the ordinary.

So this place will just be my outlet to keep track of people or happenings that really occur. I do have a camera phone so if I get proof of the insanity, I'll be sure to post them...I might just post a few events that have happened just so you people can have a mid-week giggle.

Kisses & Puppies
