About Me

My photo
I'm in my twenties thinking "Um, now what?", which isn't as bad as it seems. Some days i'm the funniest person there is, the next i'll be the best listener, and then the next, the sleepiest person i know. One day, i'll have it figured out. For now, i am just making sure i pay my bills on time, and enjoy it for what its worth. (according to amex, $3000 bucks!)

weekend on sunshine!!

Thank goodness this weekend was so freaking beautiful, since my Friday was terrible! I started off okay, but when i got to work, i swear i warped into crazy town. Not to mention i read an email from my mom completely wrong and was quite nasty - good thing i caught it quick and made amends (i hope).


Friday evening i went to a BBQ at my friends house in Kent, and boy oh boy did i have fun. So much, that i didn't leave till 230 am (thinking i would leave by 12). I stopped drinking pretty early and ate quite a bit, but i hate driving home that late. You never know what can happen!


Saturday (after sleeping off the night!) we went to the dog park, and bowser had such a great time! With his hair finally shaved down, he was able to swim a lot better. Although the time we got to the dog park it was near 90 degrees, so all the dogs were in the water instead of the 20 some acres of grass, sand and fun. I bought one of those "Chuckit" toys for bowser (because i am quite lazy to pick up a ball) and he loved it. Its so funny to see him "run" through tall grass. It's kind of like the movie tremors - all you see is the grass moving as if there was a weird breeze and then BLAM! a dog pops up out of nowhere. Then he does a couple bunny/jackalop hops through and goes back into hiding. I love my dog. After the dog park, and successfully getting a sun burn, we headed back home, started up the barbi (BBQ) and had a VERY yummy steak. which.... ERIC MADE. i repeat. ERIC made dinner. I was so happy and he did such a great job. I totally picked a winner!


Sunday, after not going to bed until 230 (again!) i woke up early to go with my parents to the gardending mecca that is Molbacks. There i bought a beautiful hanging plant and the best smelling candle in the world - Lemon Verbena. mmMM.. After that, made my way to Freddie's to buy some summer clothes, buy shoes (kids, size 4), and go home. I convinced Eric to go to Home Depot with me, of which i bought another planter box and flowers. I am officially woman now.


Oh, forgot to mention two great things! I made some jerkoff who cut me off (nxtisy - dumb license plate) even more of an ass because he fully stopped traffic on an off ramp to yell at me for flipping him off and tailgating him - sorry dude, when you cut someone off on an on ramp (past the solid line) they're bound to tailgate! Also, Our neighbor let out this blood curdling, raging scream for about a minute. Then stopped. So I'm thinking if it happens again, I'm calling the cops. I really don't want to smell a body decomposing.

yummy

best thing ever - "lite mint mocha frappachino".
o.m.g.

Eric gave bowser a "shave" the other day, but only around his face - which isnt bad, becuase trying to get bowser calm enough to cut around his mouth and eyes is pretty impossible, but i digress - So now my dog looks like a fat Chihuahua with a tiny head. its pretty darn funny, but i feel bad for laughing at my dog everytime i see him, and he's not doing anything funny.

This morning i tried to cut around his neck to at least, well, give him a neck. He looks a tiny bit better, but since the rest of his body is more like a poodle (barrel legs and body), i am going to have to shave him down completely. Its not that its hard, but bowser is a bit wiley, so keeping him calm for more than 10 minutes is pretty hard, especially when he sees the scissors come out.

So i am hoping to finish the job tonight. we'll see how well that goes.

how rude!


my my my. i think this women puts the kill in kill joy. we start off our day together with her reminding me every 20 seconds that the cd player is not working (after each time i try to fix it). then another woman walks in, and she promptly says "oh i can see that you gained weight." what a skank! then she goes on to reminded me again that the cd player is not working. so i switch the cd's around, and then i am so informed on how its just not loud enough "its okay mary", i say " i just need to turn the volume up." but no, thats not good enough for her. until i turn the volume up. I am then informed that i should quit blaming the problems on the CD, becuase its the CD player. until i switch out the cd's (becuase they were scratched) and moved the cd player off the floor. and low and behold, it works now. becuase this woman is gone. But not before she lets me know that cd players are cheap and i should get a new one.


oh, and how i am not a bright person for not being able to paralell park. seriously, that is what valet is for.

done deal?


So i've been driving my new car for a full 36 hours now. and i still haven't attached it to my key chain (or put my keys on the clicker.. you get the idea). I'm scared the second i do it they are going to call me back saying the whole deal fell through and i have no new car and a jeep without a transmission. Maybe becuase deep down i know i just screwed myself over for the next 6 years (6 year loan), or maybe my skull keychain is a reminder that my jeep died and certain death is looming over me.

On the other hand, if i do get the nerves to put the new key on the keychain, well.. then i look like a 12 y/o girl with 7 hundred keychains all linked together..


hmmm.


thoughts?

REAL wordless wednesday

BVI sunset
Eric and I in Canada
Bowser Swimming
My Raggamuffin Dog.

Wordless wednesday


I was going to join in with wordless wednesday blogs, but today, i cannot. I am WAY to reved up about how my company's payroll is treating me. While i made a personal vow not to divulge into my work to much (that just makes for getting dooce'd http://dooce.com/), i cannot hold it any longer. I am getting completely f'ed out of 600 bucks becuase they prey on the mistakes of new employees. So now begins the ever long battle of trying to get money back on taxes from NJ, of which i have never worked in.

So now i get to find a form from NJ to ask for the money back, and basically look like an Idiot for never noticing that they were taking out money for no reason. Direct deposit certainly has it's downfalls.

i need a drink

inconceivable!

know one of those people who uses words ALL THE TIME without really knowing the meaning?


Touche- –interjection
1.Fencing. (an expression used to indicate a hit or touch.)
2.(an expression used for acknowledging a telling remark or rejoinder.)


In fencing, touché (French: touched) is used as an acknowledgement of a hit, called out by the fencer who is hit. A referee can call out touché to refer to a touch being called - for example, the French call for "no point" is "pas de touche" (French: no touch).

The phrase touché is often used in popular culture and general conversation—for example, in an argument or debate. If one person presents an argument and another delivers a clever or apt response, the first person may respond with "touché" as a way of acknowledging a good response. Similarly, there is also a fencing move called a "riposte," which refers to "an offensive action with the intent of hitting one's opponent, made by the fencer who has just parried an attack" and in common lexicon is understood as a quick and witty reply to an argument or an insult.

The expression probably comes from the first blood duels, relatively common in the eighteenth century: during the duel touching the opponent with the tip of the sword was sufficient to win; when this would happen the loser would acknowledge the defeat yelling "touched" hence ending the fight.

neighbors



funny thing
- so i am coming home one afternoon and there are two gentleman getting a tour of the apartment complex. Aparently one of tenets knows one of the gentleman getting a tour. He call's over to her asking "so how is the place?" in a obvious, cheerful tone (with the Apartment Leasing Agent next to him). The tenet reponse in a sarcastice tone "Oh, the walls are soo thin i hear my neighbors, its too loud here..." At this point, the guy isnt sure if she is serious or not... "And
my carpets still smell like cat piss and they havent done anything about it..." the Agent then responds "Well, they are looking at a remodeled one so there are lots of changes...", trying to save face with this tenet. Then tenet goes on "Well, IM JUST TELLING IT AS IT IS. THIS PLACE IS CRAP. I SHOULD HAVE NEVER MOVED HERE!!!" to which the agent responds "Thanks (Tenets Name)! bye now!" and all the while the poor gentlemen are just confused to all heck. I almost spoke up the next time i saw them, but i dont really like yelling across the parking lot.
my suggestion, for the crazy tenet. Complain to the correct people - the leasing agents can only do so much for complaints. If you are really unhappy either complain to the property company OR MOVE OUT. seriously.
Who moves into an apartment thinking the walls wont be thin??
These are HOMES in India - i dont think the lady has it that bad.
