Dust

I just sat at the computer and realized the kitchen dust is all over everything. Dammit.Abort, Abort, Abort..........

Boss Pants

Lucy hates it when I talk about M's pants. They're mine, and they fit, and he's in town, so I have to wear them while he's here. He checks me out occasionally, so I try to look extra nice for him. Tomorrow is the day for it.

I'm gonna have to move an ironing board out on the deck since that's where I live when I'm home.

When I Grow Up

I need to make a decision on that soon. Dammit, does that involve actual growing up?
I hope not since I'm not really ready for that, but for realz, I gotta decide what I'm gonna do.

I know sometimes I supply too much information around here, and I try not to, but life happens. I prefer the funny, but lately, I haven't felt funny. I haven't even felt drunk which might be where the funny went. Dammit.

I'm needing a change in a big way. I've managed to fuck up my life and I find myself at a crossroads of "Do I want to run away and hide?" (Which I've pretty much been doing) or face what I have to and start over? And how much do I want to keep the job and take care of business while I decide? I want to just walk away from it all now. Maybe I should just because, that'll force me to do something.
Indecision sucks.

Sunday Funday

Annie and I went to Ms. Fan's and I cooked those burgers, and swam, and burned, and had a decent day.

Mom called to ask me if I felt weird, told her no, why should I?
Apparently I got prayed for at her church this morning.

Yay me, I'm famous in a small circle while I drink beer in the sun with my friends.
May explain the burn, just glad that one cloud didn't smite me. That would have sucked.

Sun (kinda) Saturday

Clouds have been threatening to unleash holy hell on us for a couple of days, so far, nada.
Called Ms. Fan this morning and availed myself of her pool and hospitality for a few hours. I brought dinner, was willing to grill, but it was just us so we're gonna try again tomorrow on that. She serves excellent leftovers.
Putting my tired ass in bed.

Fuck You Friday has begun

I'm all good thanks, jeans and nothing tucked in. Worked, got shit done, then got some unshceduled downtime, I was happy. Leave work for The Dive and it starts...Matilda and my pantyliner get in a fight because pantyliner pulled Matilda's hair. Matilda retaliated with some unscripted squirting which made me unhappy. Promised to shave Matilda in the morning because really? NOT WORTH IT.

Came home, and stirred up my own pot of shit just because I can, and dammit. I need to start really drinking again, skinny ain't worth all this.

Lunch, Stuff and Funerals

I was walking through the factory with my cup of Mac and Chz I was gonna have for lunch. A friend stopped me and said "You want some macaroni and cheese and ham?" Of course I said Hell yeah. It was real mac and chz. Kr@ft went in the dumpster. She also gave me an extra large helping of everything and I ate it all because dammit I wasn't letting real food go to waste. I was a bit miserable and ready for a nap after that, but work called.
I've been too busy to scratch my ass lately and it's nice to make the time go by and all, but damn.
I got to work this morning all happy my pants and shirt actually fit, turns out my drawers were too big, but oh well. Can't have everything.
Left to go to Armpit this afternoon, cousin died. Dammit, she's the one I hung out with when I went to the funeral home. Family is pretty much a mess, it was her brother that died a couple of months ago so.....half the kids are gone. Not cool. And not a damned thing to do about it.
Funny thing for today. Mom bought me an outfit (that I'll have to return and would probably never wear anyway). She told Lucy she cried when I left last weekend because she hugged me and I'm just "skin and bones". I'm a far cry from that, but then she buys me size 18 pants today, way too big, and blouse is way too girly, but shhhhh. I didn't say anything.
I think that's about all. I'm putting my tired ass in bed as soon as I take Handsome out because Damn, he's been eating Mexican again. Night kids.

The Handsome Devil is a Drama Queen

He won't walk into the Utility Room if the girls are in there, he stands outside and barks until he's escorted into the house. Love him, but he's a pussy.

I've Been Slacking

Yeah, I know. I got stuck in a vortex of stupidity for awhile. Hopefully I'm swimming for the shore now, oil drenched though it may be.
I hope.

I spent the weekend with Spawn and his Mom. Mostly his Mom which was cool since we don't really get to hang out anymore. It was good. We had fun. She hasn't thrown darts since last time we did that a year ago, and still kicked my ass. Bitch. She's good, I taught her and she's kicked my ass ever since. Student always shows up the teacher.

I need to sleep. I'm doing more of that lately, but not enough. Seas are still rough, and it's a long way to shore.

Shopping Is Exhausting

Yes, I think I are

I think we should ban Monday's

It was a day, and I still haven't recovered from the weekend dammit. I'm bone tired and have been fighting that for a couple of days, but the show must go on right?
I left work, hit The Dive to read, saw the bartender from the other night. He asked if the tequila made Lucy's clothes fall off. Had to tell him I don't remember, but I have bruises like I might have been cuffed and as far as I know I didn't go to jail so.......
He loves that shit. He has a thing for Lucy.
I came home at 7 something, put my tired ass to bed, and as soon as my body hit it my brain started running, so there was no sleep for me.
I've been outside doing stuff, finished a book while being bombarded by those damned brown beetles from hell, and now sitting at the table having a beer, about to have another smoke and try sleep again.
I should probably iron, but I think I can scrounge something again tomorrow. Finally got the pics from Dad Lucy was talking about, he seems to rotate which address he sends things too, so here you go. All the girls after.....We looked much better before.


Ms. Sweet (Gnome2) Annie, Me, Lucy (Gnome1) and Ms. Fan.

Fishing With Dad

I and a bunch of other women invaded Dad's house yesterday and convinced him to take us fishing even tho the heat index was 106. Seriously, it was fucking hot.
This is one of the things we saw, and I can't seem to make it bigger, but it's a snake with a baby catfish in it's mouth.
Lucy and I were giving Annie shit all day because I caught a catfish first, that never happens, then Lucy caught one. Later on Ms. Sweet caught a baby so our chant after that was "Rain caught a catfish, Lucy caught a catfish, Ms. Sweet caught a catfish, the snake caught a catfish..." Of course at our last stop Annie caught the biggest cat of the day, Bitch.

I'll pass on the pictures of her jumping up and down about it. Even tho our fishing wasn't all that productive, we did ok and had a great time doing it so....
Here's me in Ms. Fan's hat on the way back home. Dad had to stop the boat so he could get a pic, so obviously it's special.

I'm still worn out and think I'll put my ass in bed. Night kids.

I Got Drunk

I was at The Dive. The song "Tequila makes her clothes fall off" came on. I got Lucy a shot of Patron. The bartender was impressed. We'll see if that works since she doesn't drink.
Jeep is stil there.

Poor Dad

We're preparing for a day of him and a boatload of women. I'm sure it bothers him.

I think it's time for me to just go to bed so I can get up in the morning.
Night kids.

Not sure if it's my eyes or my brain

I was leaving The Dive, not drunk, cashing out with new bartender, tipped day bartender, wondered why she was happy about 4 bucks, went on my way. Got to crackstop and realized I'd tipped 23 instead of 4 either because I was distracted or blind. Possibly both. She didn't call me on it because I occasionally do stupid shit like that on purpose. At least I'm caught up with her for awhile.
Might be back later, going to smoke with the dog, he's got some good shit in his hookah tonight.

Rebel, Rebel

Heh, Heh, Heh

I talked to Lucy earlier and she said I should tell the world....
I scared Annie tonight. After I got over the mad, I asked her to help me level the refrigerator, the look of horror on her face when I was nice was priceless. Lucy said she probably thought I was gonna level her with the refrigerator, I couldn't, I would have seen red and white stockings with ruby slippers sticking out if I did.

Going to bed with a smile and planning to kill with kindness. I'm such a bitch.

Ketchup

That's what today was. I know I spelled it wrong, sue me, all my money is in Mississippi lol.
Work was a mess of catching up today but at least I accomplished things. That's a small victory these days.
I'm not sure where I found the new attitude, and it may not hang around, since I hit the black hole again last night, but today I think I gave up and decided to say fuck it all and go on. Mowing the yard gave me some zen or something I guess. It could also be these jeans I was just happy to get my fat ass into a year ago are now falling off of me.
I went to bed mad, got up late still mad, went to work mad, left The Dive mad, mowed the yard mad, and finally got over myself. Maybe I wore mad out or something. I'll take what I've got right now which is ok. Mad may be back tomorrow, who knows, but right now I'm good.

This might run long....

Saturday, Mom's Place. 11 kids, pizza, cake, ice cream, water guns and a shitload of riding toys.
The old ladies played with the kids as far as water guns, Lucy super soaked Mom, then the 3 of us got in the melee. Most of the Mom's just watched while we played, and I filled up lots of water guns that day.
It was cool, no casualties, other than a bit of water, and Spawn being run over by a Mustang, but he was on the hood so he deserved it. He wasn't hurt, I cited him for riding on the hood of a car in a residential neighborhood.
Most kids stayed over for the pool and slip n slide, so there was more water. It was actually very cool. Parents and kids behaved so it was a good time.

I left to go to Dad's, told Mom I was gonna sit on his porch and drink beer. She didn't appreciate that, but oh well. He and I sat around and talked for awhile, I did continue to sit there until about midnight and off to bed for me.

Sunday, Dad's House. Coffee, load up car, out the door to gamble. Stopped for breakfast, then on to Tunica. I did sleep through part of the drive because Damn, there's nothing but trees for miles. I love trees, but still.
First casino, he wanted to do the Paula Deen buffet so we stopped there. I won a few bucks, then he's ready to go eat so we do. (And OMG there was so much food and I wasn't really hungry but I took a bit of everything because shit, the charge of a buffet is astronomical even tho Dad was paying and...excellent food. Would love to go there when I'm actually hungry because I missed out on half of it.) Then we hit most of the rest of them and he made me register so I have a shitload of cards so if I ever go back I'll have points, and a guarantee of more junk mail. YAY!

We both won and lost quite a few bucks, most of it his. He asked me when I got back to the room last night if I won big. "No Dad, sorry, I lost my ass and yours."
Came back today in a good mood from a good time.

I did accomplish some of my goals, I had a great time and came home broke. I intended to drink too much but in some places getting a beer was harder than making Britney Spears wear drawers, so I gave up on that one.

I'll still do it again:)

Wild Blue Yonder....

I'm off to Mom's tomorrow for Spawn's birthday party. He's 4 now, damn time flies. Then off to Dad's so we can get up and go gambling Sunday. WOOHOO. Gambling doesn't light my fire but a couple of weeks ago when I was having a breakdown it sounded like a good idea. I don't want him thinking his house is a sanctuary for stupid people (even tho it is) he's been wanting me to take a trip with him so this works. We both get time away, at least for a couple of days.
I plan to go eat and drink too much, lose all my money, and come home happy because I got to hang out with Dad and actually relax for a change. We'll see how that works out. I just need to finish packing dammit. Night kids.

Old Lady Skin

Apparently I haz it.


I banged my forearm on the gate when I was putting The Handsome Devil in the yard yesterday, it looks like I was hit with a golf club. Some of it must be caused by sun damage since it's just my forearms that act that way, but dammit.

Damn, it was a day

After waking up with way too little sleep and way too much ire at 5 am I tried to sleep till 6, said "Fuck it", got up and went to work where I was cussing by 7. Annie calls about 8 to ask me to take The Handsome Devil to the vet for a bath and a checkup, I'm more than happy to. Apparently he was too, he was all frisky and shit as he got me all dirty, hairy, and smelly when I helped him into the Jeep. It's ok, he can do that. Back to work, bathed in the sink and removed as much hair as possible and went about my day.
Pick Handsome up this afternoon, looking and smelling much better with a clean bill of health on liver and kidneys, that made it a good day. He's getting old, it sucks.
Off to The Dive where The Assholes and a couple of other people are already in residence. I should give them names, Obviously Gay and Fag Hag come to mind, because they fit, and hell, I'm not even pretending to be PC so they may stick. Harley Guy and Girl came in right after me, love them.
Obviously Gay decided to play jukebox and his first song is Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time". Everyone groaned, I told him that was a great way to announce.
I went to play music later and Harley Guy asked for no Cher, so of course I played "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" just for him. He loves me too, he sent me a text full of boobage yesterday.
After that, apparently everyone was tired, they left and I did soon after to come home to an actual kitchen. There's a sink and floor and everything. I've been piddling with cleaning and moving stuff, now I'm fucking tired.
I think I'll go to bed and push my own buttons for a change. Night kids.

And Today Is Any Different How?

Here is your Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, June 2

Someone close to you is pushing every last one of your buttons today -- but you need to sit there and take it, or, at most, move away from the action. Keeping your cool is paramount.


I'm kinda getting tired of this trend...

Like It's Just Today...

Here is your Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, June 1

You feel more than a little irked by one family member or coworker who just can't seem to stop acting out. It's a good time to just fade away -- confrontation only makes things worse.
