SSSQQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG Remember last post I said I had to keep the job situation hush hush till we heard about it???

Well we weren't supposed to hear for two weeks to a month. Guess who got a phone call today???!!!!!!!!!!

Okay let me start from the beginning. Most of you know that Gigantor worked a crap job with no appreciation, crap insurance, no retirment, and just a fucker of a boss. He worked for a place called Page Steel for 12 years that way.

Then he got his awesome job at Allied Waste (yup a garbage man) He got raises each year, better insurance, retirement, vacation. He got shoes and other minor stuff paid for, and he got told he was appreciated all the time. He has worked there just over 2 years. He's making 15.54 an hour. He's working 60 to 80 hours a week, and only holidays he has off is thanksgiving day and Christmas day.

Still a very awesome job though.

In our time here in Page, he has tried for government positions, especially with the dam. We never got it, so that was fine.

His brother in law got on out at the dam about a year ago. In August his sister came and told us of 2 openings at the dam. Told us about all this paperwork that had to be done. I guess you have to have a spot on application, a specific type resume, and a KSI (it's a sheet listing your Key Skills Information) Basically to sell yourself.

Well they kept it very hush hush. Didn't even advertise the job, because they are sick of every joe blow applying and having to weed through the crap. But his sister helped us do up all the proper paperwork. They only had it open for applications for 10 days.

We had been just sitting and waiting, biting our nails waiting to hear. We found out we could talk to a lady that had alot of pull there. Guess what??? She is our neighbor two doors down, and she "loves" us. hehehehe

So...Gigantor went and talked to her, she said that applications went to Salt Lake and they will weed through them, then send some down to the foreman in the dam. A week or so later, she said, she wasn't supposed to tell us, but that Gigantor had made the "short list" His app was with the foreman.

We waited another two weeks, holding our breath. He talked to a couple friends who worked at the dam, he said, I have no idea who all made it on the short list.

The friend said that 5 applications made it to the foreman and after reading them the foreman threw two away. That was 3 applications for two jobs. So...we waited. He then got called in for an interview.

Everyone told him what would be on the interview. When he went, that's not what was on it. Basically the interview team asked him if he could do a couple things, then told him all about the job.

They said they would send the interviews with notes back to Salt Lake and he would get a call in two weeks one way or another. So...again we waited. Today was week number one. And he got a phone call today.

HIS FIRST DAY AT THE DAM IS NOVEMBER 10TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG people, you just don't know how awesome this is. He will work 4 ten hour shifts a week. Have every Fri, Sat and Sun off. They do NOT work them over 40 hours a week unless something goes wrong.

He will be making 18.79 and hour. Full medical, dental, and vision kicks in the day he starts, no waiting period. The amount he pays will go from 126 a pay period (what we are paying now) to about 90 a pay period, so that is a savings.

Also, he gets 4 hours of sick leave a pay period, and 4 hours of vacation a pay period. After he is there for 6 years it goes up to 6 hours. But..BUT... his 4 years in the military counts towards that already. As it counts towards his retirement time already too. whooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo

He will have every single holiday off!!!! EVERY ONE!!!! You can't ask for much better than a goverment job.

He loves his job now, but who can turn down one that is 3 dollars more an hour, and killer benefits, it's a dream for us, it's so good. We are blessed. Thank you to anyone sending the vibes and prayers, right back at ya my friends.

Oh what else is cool is Gigantor has never EVER worked a job at 40 hours a week. EVER the least he has worked is 60. How nice is that????

Okay I'm off to shower and snuggle with my major manly man!!!!! He gets WAY TO GO sex. hehehehehe

Have a good Tuesday everyone!!!!!

More Pictures

Here are some more pics of those decals, the one's in my kitchen. I got some piggies on the back of my wood chairs. I also have some cows, but they didn't come out in the pictures.


This is the rooster, flowers and bugs around the window right above my sink. Look at how long those vines on my plants are. It's two plants and they are strung half way around the kitchen.


This is a pic of the rooster up close. I have a "barnyard/country" theme in my kitchen.


The pink poppies on the right hand side with a green lady bug and red butterfly. Cute huh??



The pink poppies on the left hand side with a purple lady bug and a yellow butter fly. I actually ordered 3 more ladybugs and 3 more butterflies to have them flying around the top there, it will look so cute when I'm done.

On that note, the cat just got up on the table leaned off the side and had projectile vomit all over the place. I think I might be sick myself. ugggghhhhh

We had a busy weekend. I went to a party with the lady that does the decals and we made a really cool glass block. I will try to get some pics soon and show them soon.

We made pinto beans and hamhocks tonight and cornbread. Yummmmm Haven't had them in over 6 months. They were so dam good.

Oh, now I'm not supposed to be saying what it is, I'm sure I can tell you all soon. But please send out special vibes/prayers/thoughts/mojo for Gigantor and his "job situation". I'll explain when I can. I've been asked to keep it hush hush not even say anything on the blog.

So...there was my weekend in a nutshell. I will try to post much better this week.

Have a great Monday everyone!!!!

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy cow people I think I'm alive!!! Can you believe it??? I almost can't. Man that was horrible. Gigantor thinks I might have had a mild case of pneumonia. I'm thinking he might be right. I was soooooooooo sick.

I'm still coughing but just mainly at night. The breathing treatments have helped and the tessalon pearls. I think.

I actually was able to get a bit of sleep over the past three or four nights.

I wanted to show you all some pictures. I got my nails done today for next month.

Then I have started putting up those decal things I got for the house. Giving you all pics of the random one's right now, and will show you my kitchen stuff in the next post.

I'm looking forward to reading blogs again. Thank you everyone that has dropped it, it's been appreciated.

My Halloween nails. I love to do stuff for each holliday. I don't really run out except for may, june, august and sept I don't have themes for.

This decal I put above the shower in my son's bathroom. I think it is so cute. The camera doesn't show the color to well, it's indigo blue.


I got this one on my laundry room door, in hunter green. It just cracks me up. Love it!!!



This is on my son's bedroom door. Of course it's a dragon, what else would this family have?? hehehehe


Okay I'm gonna go and get a munchie, and check the t.v.guide. I've missed you all, and look forward to looking in on blogs again.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!!

Last Resort

I know I haven't blogged. Bad bad me.

I was having a hard time staying alive I guess, so blogging was way down on the list.

I'm on my last resort of medicine right now. I can not get over the cough again. Remember back in June and July I had one that lasted 4 weeks?? We are on week three and this one is worse.

I got over the cold, and the sinus infection after a couple weeks, but this cough is so bad. And again nothing is working. So...we are down to breathing treatments again. Took me almost 4 days fighting with the clinic and pharmacy to give me the meds for the breathing machine. I got them now. So...keep your fingers crossed.

I feel pretty much how that guy looks in that picture.

So...yeah hopefully will be back to blogging soon. Hell hope I'm back to being a decent mom and wife soon.

I'll be checking in on you all's blog soon, as soon as I can sit in one place more than 5 minutes without having coughing fits.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!

quick note

Besides that picture making me giggle, cuz I would react the same way. I'm just dropping a quick note.

I was feeling tons better over the weekend. Then I took a nap, cuz the cough had been keeping me up. I woke up from the nap and everything had settled in.

I'm blowing out the green/yellow junk, when I can blow something out, and my head is all stuffed. And the cough, oh my sweet crispy jeebus the cough. If I could stop the cough, I would feel almost 200% better, then I could just clear my sinuses.

I think it's a bit worse, cuz I was massively sick for a week before it settled in, so I have no energy to fight it right now. I'm fuzzy (well more than usual) hahaha

I know you all feel like you are telling me to get better soon all the dam time. Honestly I'm not sick that often. In pain or hurt yes, sick, not so much. But when I am, I guess I have to do it all the dam way, no slacking for me. hahahahaha

Okay I may be reading some blogs if I can keep awake long enough, if I comment weirder than usual, just know the pressure on my brain is making me see weird things. hahahhaa

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!

my poor hubby

Oh my gosh that poor cat in that picture. hehehehe

My poor husband, was worked to the bone on friday. He did his route out at work, then the "supervisor/boss" told him to go out on the residential route and train the new driver.

The guy that was training her had to leave for St. George (he was a temp) and he told everyone he was over half way done, just had off the hill left to do. Which is about 2 hours worth of work. Gigantor got done with his route at about 3. So....he goes and takes over. Only to find out, the other guy lied. He hadn't even finished half of uptown. So Gigantor was hurrying.

Now Gigantor goes in to work about 5:30 to 6 every morning. Federal law says he's not supposed to drive over 11 hours, corporate law says they aren't supposed to work over 12. At 11 hours, Gigantor started calling boss guy (who went home at 4) and he kept calling and leaving messages, but the fucker wouldn't call him back. Guess what time Gigantor got done with that route?? 7 fucking 30. That was 14 fricken hours.

Oh boss called him at about 8, and I was trying to take the phone from Gigantor, we was gonna have words, but he finally bitched boss man out. Cuz, see, boss man is salary, and he should have gone out and taken the route when his other stuff was done. Instead he just left Gigantor and the new lady hanging. And the biggest pet peeve about boss man is if corporate starts yelling at Gigantor, boss man doesn't say, "well he was doing what I told him too." Boss man tries to make himself free of blame and get the worker in trouble. Gigantor seriously warned him not to even try that crap this time.

Well...on Saturday, I thought Gigantor would just sorta rest. He was so tired he sounded half dead the night before. But he went out and started working on the frame for putting up the skirting. The frame is the hardest part and takes the longest. Kiddo went out and helped him for most the day. D showed up in the afternoon to help. They got over half of one side done.

And on sunday he got the frame up for most of the rest of that one side. And the skirting cut, just needs to be installed. He worked hard, but he felt so good about it. It was something for his own home, and not for the irritating as shit boss man.

I'm interested to find out if anything happens at work today.

Hope you all have a good Monday!!!!

RIP Bubbles

Rest in peace Bubbles. May you rest happily in that gerbil den in the sky, with your sisters Blossom and Buttercup.

That's right my son named his three female gerbils after the power puff girls, what of it???

She didn't die that one night. But Gigantor and I made her comfortable, and I watched her the next day, she died about noon. Poor little old girl. She didn't suffer, she looked very peaceful. And thank god I didn't have to have the giant stomp her. hahahaha

I didn't post for a couple days, cuz I started feeling like chit again. I got a horrid cough with that whole cold/sinus bullshit. And it was keeping me up at night again.

I went to my sexy chiropractor (god he is so cute and sessy it should be a sin) And he worked on my "sympathetic" nervous system. He says there is the nervous system that controls movement, and other nerves and vertebrae that help control imunity and what not.

He massivly did pressure points, he pulled on my ears, and popped open the sinus cavities, and he manuvered my head, popped my neck, pressure pointed my neck and upper shoulders.

He usually works on my lower back, but he said I looked misserable and did that instead. He said I would probably feel worse that night, but that I should feel better the next day.

I was a bit sceptical, but who knows. So...yeah last night, I was draining so bad, my nose was running down my face, I was coughing so bad, I should have just lived in the bathroom. After I got up this morning, I still have a few coughing fits, but nothing like the past few days, and I'm not runny in the nose, that is very very nice.

Although I do have the runs. meh small price to pay I guess. hahahahaha

Okay on that note, I'm gonna go finish my sandwich and check on all you peoples blogs. See if blogger is being nice. It would NOT let me open the comment window and leave comments yesterday. So..yeah I checked and read and tried to comment, then I cussed and ranted, and flipped off blogger. hahahaha

Have a good Friday everyone, and good weekend if I don't get back before it's over.

Deathwatch and roadkill

I thought Corky would love that picture.

I feel a tiny bit better, instead of feeling like I keep getting run over by a semi. I feel like I'm laying in the road like roadkill. Guess that's better. hehehehehe

I got randomness today.

In the mornings I have been taking Kiddo, Big J and sometimes his little sister to school. Then the boys walk home together. Well...they have started some after school clubs. Kiddo has computer club on Mondays and he's on a waiting list for Fitness club on Wednesday. Big J has drum line on Mon and Wed and walking club on Tues. So...I still drive them, but most afternoons they have to walk home alone.

Every once in a while Big J's mom gets off early and goes and gives them a ride home.

Well...Big J has been riding his bike on Mon and Wed, so I take Kiddo alone.

I got a nice surprise this morning. Big J's mom called and said he was gonna ride his bike, but then said to send Kiddo over (they live across the street) that she would give him a ride to school. After she did that, she texted me and said she was gonna go ahead and pick him up from school too.

That was really nice, to have someone offer, instead of me having to ask.

Well....I've been on deathwatch since last night. Kiddo's poor little gerbil is dying. She's is way way old, lived longer than the other two, they say the oldest they live is 3 years, and she is at 4 years old. She was barely moving and couldn't even open her eyes last night.

She's in a corner very quiet this morning, but she is still breathing. I kept praying that god would take her quickly, but I guess a lonely gerbil is way down on his list of "to do" things.

I would send Gigantor out to take care of her if she was suffering. But dammit I've had him kill so many dam animals for me. Lots of chickens and roosters, some mice and hamsters. Other such things.

I couldn't face asking him too again, and I didn't wanna hear the stomp. Yes the quickest most humane way to kill a small rodent is to smash that size 14 boot down as hard as you can. He would have done it if I asked, but dam, that poor man. She's laying quietly and not struggling, so I'm not gonna make him.

All I know is I am done with rodents for a while. We have had so many dam hamsters, dwarf hamsters, gerbils and what not, that at our old lot. I started teasing about having a hamster/gerbil garden. I probably had 10 or more little avon jewelry boxes with little corpses in them burried in the back.

Gigantor asked where we wanted to start the new garden. hhahahahhaah I told him the trash. Not to be mean, but that fricken rat dog of mine, digs up every fricken thing. She has found bones that my mothers dogs burried probably 10 years ago. grrrrr A little gerbil corpse would be a tasty snack for her.

Okay....I need more meds, cuz the fever is coming back. ugggghhh I need lunch too.

My toes and fingers and nose is cold. Maybe a blanket.

Hope you all are doing well and have a great Wednesday.

ugggghhhhhh

Went to the doctor on Saturday, spent 4 hours in there. Got a sinus infection and a cold. Got some antibiotics.

Felt like major ass all weekend. Didn't do shit, but sleep, and cough, and doze. Feel like crap today, but had to get up to take the kid to school.

Thinking of going back to bed.

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend, and have a good Tuesday!!!

Sinuses suck ass!!!

Just thought I would show you all a picture of my rat dog. That is Foxy doing her meerkat impersonation.

Well I'm all sinusey.

Kiddo has had some stuffyness for a few days, I thought just allergy attacks. I got a soar throat last night with some clogged sinuses. I've been taking Dayquil. Now Gigantor has some.

I hope it's a small cold we can fight off, and not end up sinus infections. Wish us luck.

I'm not posted much of anything else, cuz I feel like dirty ass. ugggghhhh

Have a good Friday and Weekend all!!!!!

Pretty good Midweek

Wow I had a pretty good day yesterday. Busy as hell, but pretty good.

Gigantor was off, seeing as he has to work both Saturday and Sunday. So....Tuesday night we went to DMV and got my new license. They said I was old and needed a new picture. hehehehe

Then Wed morning, he got up and made me and Kiddo a nice breakfast. (meaning he actually cooked scrambled eggs and sausage, instead of our regular cold cereal or pop tarts)

We took Kiddo to school, then he dropped me off for a nail appointment. He then went and got some cleansers and stuff from True Value, to do some work on a list I made him. (cuz of his complete bullshit of slacking off last weekend)

He went and mailed a package for me, and he got the doctor to sign the paper I had to get a handicap placard. Then he drove back out to DMV and got the placard.

He went home and started doing some work, and I called him when I was done. He went and got us lunch (we had free meal cards from sonic cuz they majorly screwed up last time we were there) And he got me. We had lunch then zoomed back out for my chiropractors appointment. Got the kid and came home and grilled some chicken to make sandwiches and soup for dinner.

Then we watched The Onion Movie. That was pretty funny!!! Then we went to bed early and got some good sleep (cept when the 19lb cat decided to stand on my chest, not lay and distribute the weight, but stand so his paws were digging into me and killing me!!!!!)

So now today I feel all rested and sorta more in a good mood than I have been in quite a while. Lets see how fast it takes Gigantor to ruin that. hahahahaha

Hope you all had a good Wednesday and are having a great Thursday!!!!

Brain is Jello

Oh my gosh I'm so tired my brain is Jello. I go to bed at a decent hour, but can never fall asleep till after midnight. I'm used to it. What I am not used to is waking up with my husbands alarm at 4 in the morning, and not being able to fall back asleep.

I'm so tired it sorta hurts.

I love that pic, when a cat looks like that, it's a good idea to stay away from them. hahahahaha

Those other webkins I got came in. We kept the frog back to give him for christmas. But he got a beagle, leopard, and baby bassett. He gave the beagle to Big J, since Big J gave him the koala.

So...Now we have a Koala named Auzie, a baby cow named Bessie (yes he wanted one little girl one) A spotted leopard named Hunter, and his baby bassett named Roscoe. hehehehehe

Big J never thought of having a girl one in all of his, till he watched Kiddo, so...now his beagle is named Daisy.

Kiddo brings home a paper last night, and goes, "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you picture day is tomorrow."

grrrrrrrrrrrr

We went through his and Gigantor's closet trying to find something nice for him to wear. He ended up wearing his Road Kill Cafe shirt. I thought that was funny as hell.


Well I'm so tired I keep dozing off in my chair, so I'm gonna go.

Have a good Tuesday all.

More Randomness

Okay but what the hell is that??? That is spooky as shit.

I was gonna tell another mom story, but I'll probably hold off, got all sorts of randomness going on in my head.

I'm mad at my hubby. *sigh* He got in a lot of trouble this weekend. First of all, he is supposed to work every 4th weekend. They are short a guy so if the boss works (WHICH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO YOU FUCKING JERK) Then he would work every 3. Well they have him working every other, which pisses me the hell off. Cuz I can't get him to do shit when he works a weekend. So...he worked last weekend (not the past two days, but the one before that) And he has to work labor day weekend.

So....I tell him some stuff I wanna get done this weekend. In the house, and him starting the skirting, he seemed to very much agree. The only added thing we were gonna do it go to the matinee. Well...he dissapears for part of the day saturday. I found out he went and helped some guy we barely know move an arcade game in his house, then spent time playing it.

Then on Sunday some friends asked him to help and go get a trailer. They were buying a big utility trailer, and they don't know how to haul one, so wanted help. They told him it would take about 3 hours, hour and a half drive each way. They called him Sunday morning to say. Oooops it's like a 3 hour drive one way. So...Instead of saying, "dude I have shit to do, and I can't be gone all day like that." the fucker went. He left when I was still in bed, and didn't get back till almost 6 last night. To say I was fuming pissed was an understatement.

Okay there I vented that. uggghhhhh

We have watched a few movies though. Captain Daddy bought the Scorpion King 2. We watched that. I didn't think it was to bad. But the dam UFC guy they had acting in it, brought the movie rating way way down. What a dumb ass, pathetic actor.

We went and seen the new Mummy movie on Saturday. I was a little disappointed with some parts. The biggest one being the change of the actress as Evie. What a fricken disappointment. She was horrible and didn't do the part justice, which just pulled the whole fricken movie down. They would have been better off saying she was dead or something. But gaaahhhh Also I don't think it had the lighthearted comedy, or the urgency to save the world that the other two did. Again I think it was mostly fault with that actress, but whatever.

I did love the story, I loved the characters they introduced. I think they could have gone more in depth, spent another half hour doing it, and it would have been a much better movie.

But let me just say. Jet Li Yummmmoliscious!!!!!!

We got Doomsday from Netflix. It was okay, I thought it was going to be so much more though. Lots of disappointments in movies this weekend. h ahahahaha

I did find out that watching 4 Leprechaun movies back to back is like ummm 3 and 1/2 to many. hahahaha They were showing all the Leprechaun movies on sci fi yesterday and my son was so excited wanting me to watch them with him.

I love it when the grocery store miss marks steaks. Gigantor went and bought some last night for dinner, seeing as he was the ASS HOLE OF THE UNIVERSE. He bought chuck steaks cuz they were on sale. Let me just note I have never ever had a tender chuck steak. They aren't supposed to be. These things cooked up great and cut like butter. It was like the tender side of a porterhouse. OoOOOO soo good. We think they were missmarked. Our score!!!!! heheheheh

I ended up winning 4 webkins on e-bay, didn't pay more than 7 bucks after shipping for any of them. Kiddo is gonna give one to his friend that gave him the first one. We got one in yesterday, it's a cute baby cow.

So now he has a Koala named Auzie, and a baby cow named Bessie. hehehehe

Okay I'm still all freaked out about that picture at the top, Just what the hell is that?? *shudder*

Hope you all have a great Monday!!!!!

Memories

First of all, those two dogs crack me the hell up. hahahaha

Okay so the title says memories. I have been going through a ton of memories about my mom lately. Sharing them with my husband. He never knew her when she wasn't "sick".

So...he never knew the woman who laughed her ass off at things, or the woman who would horse around with us, the woman who played practical jokes all the dang time. Unfortunately, he knew how fierce she loved, but he knew her as in pain, and angry and not laughing much. So...I try to share how she was with him. He gets really tickled by it.

I also thought that some of these stories were so dang funny that maybe I would share some with you.

My mother got divorced after 14 years of marriage. I was 6 and Alekx was 13. She moved us from southern Az, to northern, near her dad and step mom. We weren't making ends meet to well, and her baby brother and sister needed a place to stay after college. So...she offered.

We had a three bedroom place. Both me and my sister had our own room. My mom wasn't about to let that get disrupted. So...My aunt (13 years younger than my mom) and her best friend slept on the hide-a-bed in the living room. My uncle (12 years younger than her) brought a little silver, oval camp trailer in the front yard. (you know the one's that look like baked potatoes.) He ate with us and watched t.v. with us, showered inside. But everything else was in his trailer.

I remember besides him working, he was a referee for the high school basketball team. (small town, used volunteers) Well he could only afford one set of ref clothes, so he had the shirt and the shorts. He wore Medium I think. Well he came home from the first game and went. "Dammit my shorts ripped out in the butt, I have to buy a size bigger" So....he bought large. Next game, same thing. So...he bought extra large, again, same thing. So...this six foot four inch skinny man bought 2xl shorts and came out of the back saying "If these rip out I'm gonna hurt somebody" My mom took one look at him and started cracking up. The shorts were massive baggy in the front, and snug in the back. My mom says "Ummm bro, you may be big, but not that big" and was laughing. He was upset to say the least. As he was leaving the house, she says "by the way Einstein the pocket goes in the back not the front."

He had been putting his shorts on backwards from the beginning, and they kept ripping out. I can only imagine what the other ref's where thinking, laughing their asses off.

Which leads me to this little gem of a story, so much a gem that my uncle told it at her memorial. hehehehe

My uncle would always bust in on mom when she was getting dressed or out of the shower and take her picture. It would piss her off so much, and he thought it was the funniest thing. So...mom kept trying to do that back. We have ton's of pics of uncle in a towel or blanket covering him up, he was to dam quick. Well...mom decided to get him back.

He was at work one day, and mom went and got his one and only jock strap, knowing he had to ref a game that night.

She got it wet and put it in the freezer.

And hour later she took it out and dunked it again, then placed it in the freezer in it's position for him to put it on. She did this over and over every hour. Giggling each time she dunked and repositioned the thing.

Uncle comes home and did his usual piss fart around till he would be almost late, then he was hurrying to get dressed. (something she counted on) He started running around the house yelling that he COULDN'T FIND HIS JOCK!!!

Mom goes, "Oh hey while you are up, take a pound of hamburger out of the freezer for me." She waited till he had like 4 minutes to get dressed and up there. He is hollering and opens the freezer to grab the hamburger, and stops dead in his tracks.

He just sorta stares in the freezer for a minute, then in a quite whisper he goes. "OOOOOH you bitch" We all cracked the hell up. Ummm yeah he had to put it on and leave. The screams are legendary. hehehehehehe

Maybe next time I'll tell ya how she went all ninja with some bread. hehehehe

Have a good Thursday everyone.

Day of Randomness

OMG doesn't that picture just make you laugh your tooshie off?? I love it!!!

I'm random today, all over the place. Could be how fuzzy and dizzy the remnants of the pain pills are making me feel this morning. Could be I'm always dizzy. hahahahaha

I'm out of popcorn, so I'm actually eating a pop tart this morning.

I need to get off my ass and go make out checks and pay my bills, but I'm not doing it. I'm dinking on here. lol

I have more dog hair on my couch and floor than I have on my dam dogs. How can they shed two or three times the amount of hair they have and still have a full coat??? dammit.

I have acquired three pairs of sunglasses in the last week and I have no idea who's they are, I haven't had anyone over, but just one morning they were on the floor. Weird.

Kiddo is already asking me when school will be out for the summer.

Kiddo is so addicted to Webkins. Big J got him one, a Koala he named Auzie. To be honest Gigantor and I are addicted to his dam webkins too. It's fun and cute.

I'm following 16 webkins on e-bay right now. I refuse to bid anymore than 2 bucks for one. Some of those bastards are going for 50 bucks or more. gaaaahhhhh

You can't find webkins at walmart here in town, I can't get them here. I don't know how to get him more. Cuz I sure as hell am not spending 50 bucks on one. Not even 10 lmaooooo

Man I need a coffee I.V. today. hahahaha

OMG when did my husband get so hairy?? I mean he's never been "hairy" he had like 10 chest hairs when we got married, and now he has a small patch on his chest (I do not particularly like hairy men) But Dam!!! lately. And not on his body per say, but from the neck up. WTF is that???

I mean he gets fricken 2 inch long eyebrow hairs. I bitch and bitch and he won't trim them so I finally hold him down and trim them myself. Then, he has hair growing on the tops of his ears and out of his ears. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT???? I hold him down and trim those too. But the nose hair I fricken refuse to do.

He grows monsterous nose hair, and I will complain, and then finally yell at him. He refuses to use the multiple nose hair trimmers I have bought him, he says they pull the hair. So...you know what he does, he fricken plucks them. WHAT THE HELL IS THE DIFFERENCE FART KNOCKER????

oh oh oh and yesterday, OMG yesterday. I noticed he has gotten these long ass stray chest hairs that have migrated to like his lower neck region. I got on his case and said, when you shave you have to come down in this area, cuz I don't want these monster things hanging out your shirt.

So he goes, well pluck it. I said, I'm not fucking plucking them, shave the bastards. So...he is standing there (I met him out on the road took him breakfast, so he still had all day to work) He is standing there, and he's trying to pluck them, but he's putting it between his thumbnail and his finger nail. Well.... all it does is curl those fuckers like christmas ribbon you curl with the scissors. So...I start cracking up at him. He says, what's so funny. I then tell him that now he looks like his neck and chin is being attacked by pubic hair. And I drove off.

Okay on that lovely visual I'm gonna go finish my coffee and poptart.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!

Award Time

I got this awesome award from a couple awesome people. I was clicking my way through my blogrol, and I saw that Perposterous Ponderings gave me this award. Then as I kept clicking I found out that so did Special K.

I was so humbled and giddy, I giggled and piddled. What a very special thing, and to be loved by two such wonderful people, with two very wonderful blogs.

Arte Y Pico award: This award was created to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creativity, and for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium.

The rules state:
1. You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award through creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2. Each award should have the name of the author with a link to their blog.
3. Award winners have to post the award with the name and link to the blog of the person who gave them the award.
4. Please include a link to the Arte Y Pico blog so that everyone will know where the award came from.

You have to name 5 little known facts about yourself for the meme part of this award.

Lets start with my nominations. I love you all and wanna give it to you all. I wouldn't read ya if I didn't love ya, but hell, I need to pick 5 so here goes.

1. One a Day Photoblog Jules and Si are amazing with the photo's they take. And they post one a day!!! They even have guest photographers. I've had two of my photo's up there. For an blog that doesn't have many visitors, I think it should have thousands. Love ya guys.

2. Mary says Crystal Chick is one of the most amazing blogs that happened to find me. I say find me, cuz she visited my blog first. I went to hers and I've been so happy I did. She is amazingly crafty, making jewelry and wonderful cards. She also makes really beautiful children, who make beautiful grandbabies. And herself and her husband are to die for (pant pant) No wonder the kid and grandkids are so good looking. Check her out if you haven't.

3. Biddie OH I can't say enough about Biddie. She is an amazing woman. The love she has for her family and friends is something to be envious of. Her trials with her baby in the hospital are so heartfelt. You can feel her pain. Yet she is so down to earth and can laugh at herself, and right along with all of us too.

4. Dorko Oh I love Dorko. She only updates her blog once a week or so. Sometimes she is gone longer than that, sometimes she updates a few times a week. But what an amazing woman. I just love her. And she's snarky too. hehehehe

5. Color me complicated Miss Anne is amazing, and I love her. It is hard to find people more smart ass and snarky than I am. She is definatly up there. I admire her strength and compassion to her friends, and those who matter in her family. She is a potty mouth but I adore her potty mouth.

okay there are my nominations. If you didn't see your name it's not cuz I don't love ya, and hell take the dang thing anyway, cuz I love ya all that darn much. hehehehe

Okay on to the 5 facts about me. hmmmm lets see.

1. I write with lizard and fish pens. Quite a few years ago we bought the Kiddo pens that looked like lizards or fish, and he never used them. Now I horde them. I write with them and I dam well love them. If you move my pen or try to write with it. I will cut you!!!!!

2. I play on my son's Webkins account. He got a webkins from his friend big J and I play on it all the dang time. I'm addicted. I want me more webkins but don't know where to get them from.

3. I slap my tummy like I'm playing drums. I do it often and make tunes to it. Everyone things it's weird. Oh well. *sigh*

4. I live in the southwest and desert area and I despise southwestern art or decor.
I would rather gouge my eyes out than have any of it. Although I do own two sandpaintings, but it's because who gave them to me, not because of the southwestern.

5. I like to have my hair pulled. Have the hubby run his fingers through it and pull it lightly. I have a "spot" on the nape of my neck on the right side right at the bottom of the hair line. He could pull those few hairs over and over for hours and I just purrrrr, I would do anything I mean ANYTHING for him to mess with my "spot" hahahahaha

Okay that's enough of a post for today. Hope you all like the award, and have a good Monday all!!!!!

Quick note

Goodmorning!!!!!

Or uggghhhh it's to dam early in the morning!!!

hehehe
Just a quick note.

I got an award by Peposterous Ponderings, and I need to post it and give it, but not today, I don't have it in me today. hahahaha

School has been going okay this week so far. Kiddo and Big J have been walking home. I've been taking them each morning. That may end and I may make them walk both ways soon. hahahaha I'm mean that way.

Gigantor had yesterday off, cuz he has to work this weekend. We did a whole lot of not a god dam thing. We ate a little something, watched a program on t.v., went to the post office, bank and to get half priced sonic drinks. Then we came home and watched a couple more programs that were recorded and dozed off in front of them. Then we made dinner and had it. hahahaha

Well I'm chalked full of boring, so I should go plot my own evil plan and I'll be back soon.

Have a good Thursday everyone!!!!

School Starts Tomorrow ahhhhhhhhhh

That's how I feel about school starting tomorrow. I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

Okay you all know I hate having the kiddo go back to school, the getting up early, the him not being here thing. grrrrrr

Well...been a few days since I posted.

On Friday we ran a few errands, ended up with our Nephew (that is kiddo's age) We took the dogs to the vet, and went and got the rat dog her new tags.

We had some leftovers for dinner and took our bad selves to the late movie. I enjoyed it alot, so did everyone else. Hellboy 2. Lots of people didn't like it so I've heard, but I did. Oh well.

Saturday we took Kiddo to a different birthday party, and we did some more running around. We came home and did prep work for the dinner that night. Had aunt and uncle over. And Captain Daddy and our friend D.

We made like spaghetti sauce. I had two types, ground beef with lots of fresh veggies (tons of mushrooms) added. And one with meatballs and just plain spaghetti sauce. Then we did up Penne past (kiddo hates spaghetti noodles) And Kiddo and D had the meatballs, and the rest of us enjoyed the meat with veggies and sauce. We had cheese toast, and a nice green salad and watermelon.

The guys had me open my gifts after that. I got a new (well new to me) oven. One of the flat glass top one's. I've always wanted one of those. Gigantor found it at a storage shed sale for 100 bucks and Captain Daddy bought it for me. It is much better than my old one that had one burner out, a broken bottom drawer and sat crooked. hehehehehe

I also go the new Twilight saga book--Breaking Dawn. The new Kid Rock CD and two movies. Lost boys 2 and The Condemned. And D got me a gift card to a place in town called Gabcorp Games. They have lots of board games and magic cards there. So...it was all nice.

Then yesterday, we got up to Gigantor making breakfast on the new stove (it was so late it wasn't done till noon, so ended up being lunch) We watched half a sci fi movie we recorded but me and Gigantor fell asleep on the couch for a couple hours. After we woke up Kiddo came out of his room (he disappeared in there when we fell asleep) and we finished the movie. Then we made dinner and watched the Lost Boys movie.

I still like the first one better, but this one wasn't to bad. It said it had Angus Southerland in it. Is that Keifers son???? Just curious.

Well one of kiddo's friends--Big J is over today, like one last day of playing their asses off before school starts. I should go and take tags off all his school supplies so we can get them in his back pack.

Hope you all have a great Monday!!!!

Doncha just love that dogs face???

Well doncha??? His face is priceless. I love that!!!

Well Gigantor surprised me. He took today and tomorrow off for my birthday. (which is tomorrow, friday. ahhhhhhhhhh)

I hate the idea of being "older" *sigh*

Today Gigantor got up early and walked with Kiddo and big J to the school (since it's close) and got his schedule, and walked around finding classes and locker and everything. Then they walked home. Gigantor went and bought us breakfast.

We ate, and then got up and got a couple packages put together (cuz the school said the teachers would be in this afternoon to get a supply list)

We then left the house, in August, in Arizona, in the afternoon ( I know we are nucking futs!!!!) We went to the school, no teachers, they said maybe tomorrow.

Went to UPS a package, only to find out that our UPS store closed down in June. Found a place in town that will ship the packages for you (but I have to do it tomorrow cuz I didn't have the addresses with me, cuz they were in the UPS computer)

Checked the mail, hooked up captain daddy's new cable, delivered an avon thing then went on down to walmart.

Now because of my health, and because of how crippled up I am, I haven't been to a store to shop in about 9 months. I can barely get around. Gigantor kept wanting me to go and go on the ridey carts, and I never would cuz I didn't think I could fit into one of those carts. (yup I am fat) duh.

But we decided to try everything we could today. I made it in with my cane and sat down for a few, then I pushed the cart over to the school supplies, and started shopping with the boys. Gigantor disappeared. Part way through the school supplies which are sorta toward the front of the store, I was looking for a bench cuz I wasn't gonna make it.

When out of the blue Gigantor rides up on a ridey cart. He made me try it, and you know what??? I fit. So...in on sense I don't like riding them around, being not so old, and people no matter what stare at any people in carts or any kind of handicapped people, and it pisses me off. But it was soooooooo dam nice to go around and be a part of the shopping. I told Gigantor that I needed to do a bit more of that so I wasn't such a hermit.

We came home, and played with stuff we bought, and then my friend T surprised us and brought over dinner. It was her birthday present for me. It was so yummie, she had put boneless pork steaks (real thick ones) in the crock pot with some seasoning and some bbq sauce. And she baked some potatoes, and had some raw, fresh, organic veggies. And AND!!! brought cup cakes over. hehehehe

It was soooooooo dam good!!!! Gigantor and I had been actually talking about how it had been MONTHS since we had a baked potato and they sounded really good, then she brought some over. hahahaha

Tomorrow Gigantor is walking up to school again with kiddo, maybe try to see some teachers. Then we are gonna run to safeway (we have been getting some food to have a family dinner on Saturday for my birthday) Then I have to go out to the DMV and get my picture on my license new. They said I was to old and needed a new picture. The bastards. hehehehe

Then we have to take the dogs to the vet in the afternoon (nails and rabies shot) And go get new tags for one.

We are also going to go to the late movie, Hellboy 2. We have been wanting to see it real bad. I hate spending full price, but the only discount night is during school, and they are only showing it as a late movie. So I can't do that.

Okay well I have prattled on for way far to long.

If I don't get back on before Monday I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!!!!!

Arizona SHOULD NOT be Humid

OMG what the hell??? Arizona isn't humid, we are renowned for "it's a dry heat" I like my dry heat. I don't do humidity to well.

It's been rather humid this summer for the past month or so. Up in it's 20's or 30's for Arizona that's major bad. We are dying if it goes into it's teens. Then there was yesterday. We got up in the 50's with the humidity yesterday. ahhhhhhhhh it was torture. It started thundering about 5 last night, and we though oh great just a thunder storm, no rain. They drive the humidity up. But by about 9 last night it opened up with rain, and rained until about 1 this morning. Then it got even more humid than it was yesterday.

You know it's miserable in that humidity with a swamp cooler, and Gigantor and I were up all night fidgeting, pissing each other off, cuz we were preventing the other one from sleeping. hahahahaha

Actual conversation between me and Gigantor two days ago. I called him on the cell phone.

G--Hey
(he always answers. HI HONEY)
ME--What do you mean hey??
G--just hey (real grumpy like)
me--what the hell is wrong with you??
G--Sorry I hurt
me--you hurt?? what do you mean you hurt??
G--my back is killing me
me--what did you do to it??
G--I don't know, I woke up and it was killing me and I went pee and it felt a bit better.
me--ummm honey that could be a kidney infection
G--I don't FUCKING get kidney infections!!!!
me--DON'T YELL AT ME fine just suffer then
G--It keeps getting real bad and then I'll go pee and it will ease up
me--so where is this pain??
G--it's not in my spine, it goes from side to side on my lower back
me--yup kidney infection
G--I TOLD YOU I DON'T GET THOSE!!!
me--okay dumb ass, suffer, but if it gets to bad, you might wanna buy a bottle of cranberry juice, or you can wait and I take you to the doctor in a day or two, when you can't stand anymore, you will miss work and they will put you on a bunch of antibiotics. But apparently I don't know what I'm talking about. SINCE YOU DON'T GET KIDNEY INFECTIONS!!!!

Then I hung up on him.

My man the E.M.T. That is so tough he decides he can never get hurt or sick. My man who I want to throttle because he won't take any medicine when he first gets sick or hurt and we end up in the doctors or hospitals. grrrrr

He came home later, with 4 yup count them 4 gallons of cranberry juice. hahahahaHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

He drank almost a gallon that first night, I laughed my ass off the entire time.

Next day, almost no pain!!
Two days later, no pain at all.

But remember he doesn't get those, and apparently I don't know what I'm talking about.

Have a good Wednesday everyone!!!!

I'm off to go drip somewhere, seeing as it's still way humid.
