here listening to the stereo (Mother Love Bone's "Stargazer" is playing on a replay loop) trying to not lean the back of my neck onto any surface since I now have a bad burn to my skin.
It may seem weird to some (Then again maybe not), but I tend to type better in the dark, so the bedroom is in a constant state of darkness (Minus one 60 watt lightbulb in a touch lamp).
Also I keep flipping the channels between Faux News and Sirius Channel 27 Hard Attack outta pure boredom (Until the local noon newscast).

Yeah - they kind of are. I don't eat them that often though - they're great for a day when I don't feel like making my lunch...some of the are just plain nasty though.
They range from about $1.76-3.00 - I think the ones I bought were 2-something - so I guess for a whole meal that's not bad - but I'm cheap :laugh:

Enjoying the cool, fresh air conditioning...
This morning about 4:00 AM, Miss Makita (the family Rottweiler) cornered a skunk behind the A/C pump unit outside - poor thing was thoroughly sprayed with skunk musk. But the kicker was: so was the A/C unit. I woke up choking seconds afterwards, thinking the house was on fire because of the putrid smell, and wondering why the hell Makita was going utterly BAT**** in the back yard.
Luckily we had a small cold front late last evening, and we were able to air out the house all morning while disassembling and scrubbing the coils on the A/C so it wouldn't pump the smell inside any more.
We also got this awesome anti-skunk shampoo from our local feed store, and Makita smells better than ever after getting 3 baths in the driveway, with the hose, so all the neighbors passing by could see her shame. :laugh: They felt sorry for her, and the next door neighbor guy even brought her some treats. His window A/C unit faces our backyard, and the smell got sucked into his house too. (Which is straight up karma, since it was his trash the damn skunk got into first before heading into our back yard...)
As soon as the house cools off, I'm taking a NAP!

Not so far. I ran downstairs and immediately turned off the A/C. Once I determined the house wasn't on fire, it was pretty easy to figure out what the smell was with all the ruckus going on in the back yard.
I was mad for being woken up in such an unpleasant way, but upon seeing the dog it all turned to pity. If it smelled that bad to me I can only imagine how bad it must smell for dog, especially when it's sprayed *on* them. And strangely I never actually saw the skunk - I guess it had time to get away after it retaliated. Just a small clump of black & white hair in the A/C unit grill.
I also lit about half a box of Nag Champa sticks once the windows were all open. It helped, besides being something else to choke over. Thanks, Stevie! :wavey: :D

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i work at a deli. we were terribly busy tonight, and there were only two of us working. people were extremely rude and demanding. and seriously, you don't go into a restaurant at 8 minutes until it closes! but this dude did tonight, and brought 2 other people with him.
i can't even adequately express my hatred for this dude ... he's such a freak. he's been fired from every food place in the downtown area, so i KNOW he's worked in food service. he should know not to come into a restaurant so late. and he should know not to come into a restaurant at ANY time and place ridiculously complicated orders, but he does. he thinks it's cute, he thinks it makes him special, but we hate him. our menu literally has more than 50 choices on it and this guy has to be a complete moron and make his own **** up. no, i will not make you a pepperoni, salami, cappicola, and pepperjack cheese sandwich on toasted rye. and no, i will not put banana peppers, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, oil, and vinegar on it. and no, i will not steam the meat and the cheese and press the whole thing on the grill for you. and no, i will not make you friday's special on thursday. AND NO I WILL NOT GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE! you know why not? F*CK YOU, that's why not! if you're so special that we don't have anything on the menu that can cater to your needs, GO TO THE GODDAMN GROCERY STORE AND MAKE YOURSELF A GODDAMN SANDWICH! f*ck you.
and that was just one customer! JESUS CHRIST, PEOPLE, GET A LIFE!
oh yeah!!!!!!! AND!!!!!!!!!! mormons came in and wanted to talk to me about my relationship with JESUS EFFING CHRIST!!!!!!! i was like, i am just here to do my job. your total is $7.50. they were like, well in the book of mormon ... i was like, YOUR TOTAL IS $7.50. they got the hint.

be careful with spinach anyway ... i only mix a little in with romaine, because spinach is extremely high in vitamin A (like, one serving is 400% of your daily allowance), and getting too much vitamin A has been linked to hip fractures. just food for thought. i used to have a spinach salad every day until i read about that.

Fuming because my credit card sent me a notice they are going up to variable rate on me, which right now is 27.99%! I get to reject it though so long as I never use the card again. Consider it done. I have to assume this is because I went over limit last month. The reason I went over limit was because after my purchases (car repairs) they then added the finance charge which put it over limit. I hate these credit card companies. They're blood suckers.

Ooh that SUCKS. That's really high rate - the variable on one of my cards just got upped as well - and I threw a FIT because it was for no reason - except when I called to complain - there IS a reason. I no longer use the card (so I can pay it off) so to penalize me they upped the rate.
I told them to suck it and transferred the balance to a lower card - of course that was after I went rounds with them. I've been a loyal and good customer for over 6 years, never one late payment, never over-limit - yet the upped my rate substantially. I HATE credit card companies - I wish I had never gotten one....I'm trying to get them paid off though....which as I'm sure lots of us know is way fun.

That is so good though. Just think about that sort of weight loss over time. That'll be 8 more pounds by Christmas. You will probably lose more rapidly though, that is probably the least you'll lose in a week.
I got back from the gym a little while ago too, yeah! For sh*ts and giggles I weighed myself before and after my workout. After I weighed .6 pounds less! I guess I lost a lot of water weight and I even drank some water while working out. So the moral to this story? Weigh yourself after your workout! :lol:
I remembered the change I made that helped me lose the last 5 lbs, I added weight training my legs. They are really starting to shape up! And Amber, I went up on my calf weight today! Making progress, hehe.
I like working out on the weekend because there is no time pressure and it isn't as crowded.
And the credit card rate? Yeah, it's total ass. I can't believe your card did that to you. I'm in so much debt but really trying to finally get a handle on it. So of course I get hit with this. Some law must've changed though because I get to reject the change. I really wish we could get some people in office who would fight these bastards for us. They seriously do not need more money because they make money hand over fist off of our backs.

I am staying in the house on this beautiful sunny day because I don't feel good. :( I have a ton of things to do like look for a new carry-on bag and get some new fall clothes. I need some cosmetics and I need to get a few more secure digital cards for my cameras. I am going to order the cards later online because this place closes for the Jewish holidays and I want to make sure that I have them for my trip in Oct.
I just found out yesterday that I will be working just about every week night the last week of September. Good for money for my trip but it does not give me much time to get ready for it.:shrug: Looks as if I will be doing a lot of online shopping.

That is so good though. Just think about that sort of weight loss over time. That'll be 8 more pounds by Christmas. You will probably lose more rapidly though, that is probably the least you'll lose in a week.
I got back from the gym a little while ago too, yeah! For sh*ts and giggles I weighed myself before and after my workout. After I weighed .6 pounds less! I guess I lost a lot of water weight and I even drank some water while working out. So the moral to this story? Weigh yourself after your workout! :lol:

Yeah - I JUST started working out more regularly. It sucks - a couple of years ago I was such the gym rat - I weighed less than I ever have -and looked fabulous - I was even getting ab definition!!!
Then I started eating like a pig again :distress: Now I can barely do 15 minutes without wanting to die - so I'm starting very slow and working my way back up - it's just hard - but I cannot go on looking and feeling the way I do!
Ah debt - the new American trend :laugh: Seriously, it sucks - and I hate myself for getting myself into it - but at least I have the power and means to start getting out. It's going to be a long road - but for my sanity and future financial security I want to get serious about it now.
I have Suze Orman's Young Fabulous and Broke book and cd - actually I've had them for a while - I just haven't read it yet...keep meaning to though!!

Sweeeeet. Maybe you can be my new provider of calf porn. :laugh:
I can't believe you weren't doing leg weights before, those are big muscles and burn tons of cals. You're doing bun, too, right?
Anyway, good job, I'm really happy for you that you are getting in shape, losing weight. Great legs are all about the muscles. Duh.
I'm going to do the big hill climb today even though I shouldn't, just for the extra leg workout. Then, of course, I will have to do yoga to undo the painful tightening that the super hill will cause, so that will be good too. :p
Oh, and what I'm doing right now is watching Storm videos, b/c I didn't watch the show, but am trying to figure out if it is the same Storm I saw some years back in San Franscisco at a club. I was impressed with her then, and remembered that she was a Cancer, which this Storm is, too - and was also blond and pretty - I just don't remember her being so tall. But after reading the bio that said she did perform in SF quite a bit, and watching the songs, I've decided it is the same Storm. Okay, pointless, but that is what I was doing. Really, how many blond gorgeous singers who are Cancers and named Storm could there be? Yeah. She looks f*cking great for 37, too.

Just got home from the grocery store. Okay, I can admit, I'm a little frugal..... Now, at home, when I'm alone, I might be known to drink some Franzia (box) wine. Well, a couple months ago, XXXXXX(I won't name my store, just in case someone here works for them) had my wine, at like 5 bucks off a box. They only had a couple boxes of Merlot, so I got a raincheck. The service desk lady told me she wasn't even sure she was allowed to give rainchecks on liquor, so I said, "well, I guess I'll need to go through a YOUNG cashier's line then, huh?". She laughed because she knew I was right.
Anyway, I went through this young guy's line(he is probably 21). Anyway, we joked about how much I like my "juice boxes". He hands me my raincheck BACK. I wasn't sure if it was on purpose or not. A few weeks later, I go back for more, and see him again. He keeps giving me my raincheck back! Just a few minutes ago, I stocked up again. He said, "it sure seems like you always buy your wine from me". I said, "odd, aint it?". He laughed, and slid me back my raincheck, again! I've probably bought 15 or so boxes now(no, I haven't drank them all.....I just keep stocking up, figuring that I'm going to lose that raincheck, sooner or later!).
What a boring, stupid story to share, but boy am I bored right now!
PS- they had fifths of Raspberry Stoli in the clearance cart, for $5!!!! I bought all (3) bottles they had!:] :] :]

I'll be over in a minute. :D :laugh: *dashes to Homie's*
I bought a bottle of organic wine last night for $5. It was good. White, fruity, but just hints of it, it wasn't sweet at all. Also, it barely had the sharp tang of most white wine. Very nice indeed. My carb treat for the week, and now it's back onto only carbs from veggies. Because, if you don't have cable, there is fricking nothing on on Fri. nights.

I'm not much on whites. I like the richer, less sweet, taste of reds.

It's totally weird, up until about six months ago I felt exactly the same way about whites. Now, I love them. Not if they are sweet, though. Maybe I experienced one too many headaches/hangovers from red? Or maybe my pallette is more sensitive since I don't smoke much? Not that I still wouldn't drink it...They had organic red, but I was scared to try it. The description implied that it was sweet. :laugh: They weren't normal wines, like chardonnay, or merlot - they were called other things, so I was confused :shrug: Mine was called Torrontes. Anyway, organic wine for $5 is hard to pass up. :nod: Just like Stoli raz for $5 is. :laugh: Anyway, I was still ripped, so it's fine.

I am reluctantly typing a paper. I've felt so crappy today- headachey, tired, and nauseous. I have had no desire to do anything. Sucks.

God, I can relate to this. Not so much now though, because I have effectively trained my dog to stay off the couch. But in the last house we lived in, if anyone was coming over, I would have to slave to get the hair off the couch. And it never worked because people would stand up and have half my dog on their ass anyway. :laugh: When we moved, I had to throw out that sofa (really, no one would want it).
Ok, I've stalled enough- back to this paper. :o
Oh wait, I *love* Homer's story about the wine and the rainchchecks- hilarious. :laugh:

Just got done crying.
Damian (my fiancee) just left to go to Pennsylvania to train for his new job for 5 weeks. But luckily Mason and I are flying up there in 3 weeks to spend the rest of time up there with him. I'm feeling a little guilty cause we could have gone up there with him for the whole time, but freakin' Lindsey had to come to Atlanta on the 6th! I kind of hate that I chose to stay here for 3 weeks cause of that, but I got to thinking about it and 5 weeks in a hotel with a 6 month old would be kind of hard.
Damian said if he saw Lindsey on the street he'd knock his teeth out. :lol:

Don't feel guilty, Brit. Five weeks in a hotel room with a six month old would be very difficult. Plus, Damian will be training most of the day anyway and it might be boring for you. Lindsey is worth it...and two weeks up there Damian sounds much more enjoyable. I actually hated staying in hotels when my kids were that little. Its so hard to bring all the **** they need! lol

And then, you were also nice! And your accent was great. :)

It's the worst drug on earth, no doubt about it. People can quit, but the odds are not so great. It's easier to kick heroin, supposedly. The recidivism rates are worse, anyway.

meth is so scary - you can get hooked in an instant, and detox is so long. like, you can still be going through withdrawal symptoms 9 mos later. actually, my friend's gf's aunt is the person who introduced meth in ohio. he hangs with some really healthy people. :rolleyes:

the stats i've read say 5.6% of users recover. some recovery experts say the numbers are higher, that relapse is a normal part of quitting, but to me, that just validates an unhealthy spiral of recovery/relapse/recovery/relapse, and where does it end?

just kinda shocked when I found out the MRI showed that cyst is growing into a small sized tumor. My equalibrium is shot, I walk like a drunkard sometimes due to that cyst (Kinda humorous actually). I should have another MRI in October to check to seem if it has remained stable or is continuing to expand. If it is expanding, the options are either to remove it via laser surgery or if it is sub-arachnid it will be to add a shunt into it....So we'll see.

Sweeeeet. Maybe you can be my new provider of calf porn. :laugh:
I can't believe you weren't doing leg weights before, those are big muscles and burn tons of cals. You're doing bun, too, right?
Anyway, good job, I'm really happy for you that you are getting in shape, losing weight. Great legs are all about the muscles. Duh.
I'm going to do the big hill climb today even though I shouldn't, just for the extra leg workout. Then, of course, I will have to do yoga to undo the painful tightening that the super hill will cause, so that will be good too. :p
Oh, and what I'm doing right now is watching Storm videos, b/c I didn't watch the show, but am trying to figure out if it is the same Storm I saw some years back in San Franscisco at a club. I was impressed with her then, and remembered that she was a Cancer, which this Storm is, too - and was also blond and pretty - I just don't remember her being so tall. But after reading the bio that said she did perform in SF quite a bit, and watching the songs, I've decided it is the same Storm. Okay, pointless, but that is what I was doing. Really, how many blond gorgeous singers who are Cancers and named Storm could there be? Yeah. She looks f*cking great for 37, too.
Yes I added the bun when I added calves. I read some advice about not doing legs if you're pear-shaped but that was bunk. At any rate, it's better to work up slowly anyway otherwise it is too overwhelming.

Marth Stewart's website actually recommends using mineral oil to treat some stains, so I figured, hey, it'll come right out. Well I'm here to tell you that Martha Stewart is a lying whore. :mad:
Never mind that the pants were $2 at a garage sale & they're 4 years old! Never mind that I got the top off the clearance rack @ NY&Co. for $7.99 last week! They fit well & I looked good in them! :distress:

Dawn takes grease/oil stains out of clothes like a wonder.
I mean the product touts its ability to take grease out of your dishes - dabbing it on clothes does the same thing :nod:
I just got to work and am VERY dismayed that the morning guy has left me NOTHING new for this afternoons - so my afternoon will be spent scrambling for newsy items. Blah.

Hahaha! No, I just thought that since it was used to remove some stains, then if I added stuff to it, it may create some weird chemical reaction & not work. Lotta good that did me. :rolleyes:

I use Dawn to take machine oil and grease out of wool and cotton yarn all the time- I soak them in it and it works great. What are your clothes made of, Paula?

The top's rayon, the pants were basic khakis, so I think cotton. I'm kind of assuming I'm screwed, since they've ben washed & dried twice now. It did get slightly better, the stains aren't that noticeable now, but they're there. I will try the Dawn - can't get any worse, right?

Ooh you dried the stuff too? Doesn't that set the stain in? Or is that a myth?

Yeah, it does. I couldn't really hang them up to dry at work though. :lol: I checked when they were still wet & didn't see a stain so I dried them. Ooops.

Thinking about what to have for dinner.
I just wanted soup - so I went next door (a little indie coffee shop/deli) to get some. But there was NO broth. NONE. It was just noodles, chicken and carrots. No broth.
I'm sick - I wanted the damn broth. So I walked back over and asked about the broth. There was no broth...so I nicely informed the employees that with no broth it's not soup, but rather a noodle dish of some kind. they gave me my money back and I kept the noodle concoction - I just added hot water here at work - it was ok.
So now I'm on the air....and scrounging for local news.

Now I'm wishing that FOR ONCE all of MySpace's features worked properly...that site is so frustrating...something is always working incorectly - yet I keep going back :rolleyes: It's an addiction.
Not to mention that in the last month or so I found my 4th grade boyfriend lol and my 7th grade boyfriend (both of whom are now gay). And I did know them beyond said grades - but we lost touch when college hit. I love that about MySpace - the reconnecting.

As maddening as MySpace is - and as bad a rap it gets in the media it is a fun site.
