yes, i'm still here

hey kids. long time, no post! i'm still alive. this week has just been a bit hectic and i haven't really been at a computer capable of posting for more than 2 minutes at a time.

so, while i wait on someone to give me something to do, i'll give you a random post. mostly a recap of my week, because my brain is.not.functioning. today

Monday was our first day back to regular schedule. for the summer we have been working mon-thurs, 7:30 - 5:30. yeah, those hours SUCK, but dude, having fridays off makes it so worth it. and, really, you get used to the 10 hour days after a couple of weeks. so, sunday night i was all excited because i could sleep an extra 30 minutes. and i did. and it was ALL I could do to get out of bed monday morning. why was it so much harder to get to work at 8 than 7:30?? and then i realized: because it's going to be a long fucking week. no more fridays off. bah humbug!!

rachel? i want you to read this. and then read it again. in fact, read until you have it memorized and then read it a few more times. k?

oh! sad news :-( ok, it's not really sad, just UGH! saturday was my day for my much needed pedicure. have y'all been praising jeebus wondering why my toes haven't been on the blog lately? because i haven't had a fucking pedicure since MAY! dude. the flamingos were cute and all but they're not so cute when you've had to trim your toenails so much, all that's left of them is their head! we had a family erm issue in june. i ended up having to cancel my appointment at the last minute because my cousin needed me to watch his boys. i fully intended to be mean and take them with me, but they were still asleep when appointment time rolled around. *sigh* then, diana realized she forgot to put me down for july, so i was going to have to wait until this past saturday. fuck! saturday rolls around and i'm all kinds of excited. pedicure day is probably my favorite day of the month. i got my new paula deen magazine, stopped and got us drinks at sonic, walked in the salon door and diana says "hi honey! what are you doing here? i don't have you down for tonight!" fuck! after sitting for a few minutes, she realized she had bumped me and forgot to call and tell me. and her next available appointment? oh yeah September 6. September 6, as in the day after i go to st. louis. fuck! i not happy. not happy AT ALL. I guess i'm going to have to break down and go get my toes done somewhere else because there's no way i can go that long!

i'm pretty sure i'm going to order one of these McFabulous pink and green belts from Lisagh. I mean, it's just too damn cute. how can i not order one?!

hrm...what else? oh! i think the puppies have kennel cough. at least, i'm hoping that's all it is. any suggestions? i'm damn sure not taking them to the vet. nope. maybe if there was just one or two sick. but 5? haha nope! call me cruel. i like to think of it as economical. i just can't do it. especially after $50 to spring them from jail and another $110 for the ticket i got because i "failed to restrain" my dog (aka someone fucking let my dog out of the yard and now i get to pay for it).

i met rachel at the bar last night to celebrate! her! new! job! yay! i got there before she did and sat with some co workers, one of my principals from high school and his son (whom i went to high school with), my old middle school counselor and her husband, and a few teachers from my old high school that i never had. i gotta tell you, it was WEIRD having a beer with my old counselor and principal haha Rach showed up later than expected (she had a hair catastrophe) and she ended up just sitting with us. it was fun. pretty much all of the group dispersed after a couple of hours. Principal's son, Rosario and I stuck around and talked and drank some more. Principal's son had to get home to the wife and kid. So then it was down to Rosario and me and the live "band" started setting up. i use term band very very lightly.

Anyway, i had a really really good time last night. Rosario and I had a really good conversation and i think we both needed that time to unwind, have a beer (or ten) and talk to a good friend. i definitely got home about midnight (after stopping at whataburger for food because hello? 6 hours at the bar, no food since lunch {well, except the cheesecake} not good!)

of course, once i got home i was wide ass awake and could.not.sleep. finally fell asleep about 1:30ish and about 3:30 i woke up dying of thirst and desperately needing to tinkle. went back to sleep after chugging the rest of my coke from whataburger and hitting my knee on the wall in the bathroom. at 4:45 Chablis' dumb ass came in and woke me up. i still have a recliner in my kitchen and the puppies keep getting under it to sleep and Chablis doesn't like it because she can't get under there with them. so, i had to get up, stumble my way through the living room and over the baby gate to the kitchen and pull the sleeping puppies out from under the recliner. oh and there was one asleep in the bag of dog food. yes, i have pictures. no, i don't have them with me.

so, needless to say, my ass is drrrrrrragggggggin today. i was really tempted to call in dead this morning, but chose not to. i am however going straight home for a nap after work. sweet!

ok, that's all i got and it's only taken me all friggin day to write this. hope y'all missed me ;-)

p.s.

anyone else excited about Schlitz making a comeback??
