~6-28-04~ Miss me?

i haven't posted in a few days. i sure miss you guys! :)

well spook was back the next day. i knew he would be. he never wanders far. he, unlike MY brilliant cats, knows how to bring his ass back home.

i had my root canal today. it sucked!! i hate getting a shot in the roof of my mouth, that is the worst! then i was nervous that i wasn't numb. that has happened before. so after i got all "suffocated" (i was hating that rubber dam thing they put over your mouth) he started drilling away. after a few minutes...OOOWWWW!!!! both the doc and the nurse were like, HHMMMMM......i wanted to be like, i told you! so i had to get shot up some more. by this time i had like a ocean of spit in my mouth, caught underneath and behind my tongue!! i was somewhat swallowing, but it seems hard when the whole roof of your mouth is numb!! so i somehow said i have spit everywhere....then i ended up moving and snapping the whole tooth dam off! so they had to fix me up....and i just sucked! it didn't take long at all though! then i asked about a crown, i'm not sure what he said, something confusing, then said i would go back to my regular dentist to do that. he was a specialist, since my doc doesn't do root canals any longer. so i was like fine. so i get to the desk and she said that today it was like $785. WHAT?!?!?! and that is without a crown!!!! aren't crowns like $500! i thought they were the most expensive part of the root canal, and it costs almost $800 with out one?!?! granted i only had to pay about $120, but still that is fucking ridiculous! no wonder peoples teeth rot out of their mouths, who could afford that for 1 tooth without insurance?!?!?!

wanna know the kicker.....we don't even know for sure if that is the tooth that is bothering me!!! so fingers crossed i won't be in anymore pain. even though the pain i am in NOW is much worse than before! i already loaded up on motrin, and i am about to go eat some more! i HURT!!

tomorrow is the big day!!!! we are going to the ZOOOOOOOOO!!!! woo-hoo!! i am so excited! i'll have lots of pictures to post for you all!! :)

well tonight also marks night #3 of Driv3r. we rented it on saturday. and of course the last 2 nights we have been up til like 5AM playing the damn thing!!! the one thing i hate about bob not working....i get less sleep than normal, which is already not enough! i am NOT staying up late tonight, or there is no way my ass will make it walking all around the zoo tomorrow.

oh....on saturday i finally got a damn bathing suit....2 as a matter of fact!!! my mom took me to kauffman's. $60 for a bathing suit! no wonder i don't shop at the mall!!!!! she got me a bunch of stuff along with the bathing suit. i had another one picked out that i liked as well, so i figured since she bought one, i'll by myself the other. i may take a pic. of me in them, to show you all.....if i don't look too fat. my fave one is black and white stripe halter type top, and it as swimmy type shorts. the other is like a tank top and it has real bright colors, it has a skirt type bottom. love them!!!! i don't think it is actually going to get warm enough this summer to even use them! what is the deal with this 50 degree shit! i'm freezing right now!

well bob is getting killed cause he ain't listening, so i have to go.......

Spook, gone now too..... 

Have you seen my Piggy! 

Chia's been missing for about a year, so i think she is pretty much gone for good 

~6-26-04~ #$%^*$@(&%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well now my other (bob's) cat is missing!!!!!!!!!!!!

the worst part is that it is my fault. that makes it so much worse. it is nice when someone else is to blame so you can just yell and be mad at them! i still only hold myself partly to blame. i was hot so i went and opened up the sliding glass door to let some air in. here the screen door was also open. WHY?!?! well i have been out looking for him twice now, even called for mine while i was out there. didn't find either of them!!! i am so pissed!

i was finally getting this whole flea thing under control (excluding the basement, which is i guess a virtual breeding ground for them bastards, and now they are both out there getting loaded up with new ones!!!!

i'll tell you as soon as/if they are found they are going right in the tub! no if's and's or but's! i am not having to start over with this horse shit!

the only good thing about tonight (aside from clay being so damned cute, but that is always) i found some sites that rent video games, just like netflix!!!! woo-hoo! there are a TON! i went with redoctane. they had a lower price and seemed to have a huge selection of games. so i filled up my queue there, so we will see how long it takes for us to get them. i'm excited!!! but i won't get on my whole nerd trip like i did last night.

hope you all have a nice weekend....if anything exciting happens (giggle) i'll pop on and let you know........more than likely i'll just pop on and tell you all about some boring flea ridden stories! :)

~6-254-04~ The nerdness continues

i must add that another great game is silent hill

it pisses me off that only some games are only for certain systems. like oddworld originally was for only playstation 1. so that was our original system. then i think it was part 3 was coming out only on x-box, so i had to get that. then of course they came out with playstation 2, so we had to get that. i almost got that nintendo one for bob last christmas, but so far we haven't got that one. there aren't too many games we want for that one.

ok, enough! night!

PS...heart is on conan, i didn't even know they were still together and making records (i'm old, excuse me, cd's). at least it is still ann and nancy (?), unlike journey. they were on blindate the other night (the date went to their concert) and steve perry isn't even in the band. what the hell?! how can you have journey without him/his voice?!

~6-25-04~ The countdown begins....to returning as video game nerds

well about 19 hours to go til bob's vacation starts. he is working 14 hours tomorrow.

hhmmmm.......wonder if he is going to drive me insane for the next 9 days?! i doubt it! i know you all hear me bitch about him alot, but we actually do get along well together, and even enjoy each others company.

he actually said that while he is off he will get up with clay and let me sleep in. woo-hoo!! i don't know if i will actually hold him to that promise or not. i mean it is his vacation, i'm not going to make the poor guy get up with clay everyday at 9AM. there may be a few days i do take advantage though! i'm just excited for us to do family stuff!!

blockbuster has a new deal going where you pay $50 and for 3 months you can have unlimited game rentals! i am sooooo psyched for that! i was originally going to join that game pass thing they had for $20 a month or something, but you could only have 1 game out at a time, what the hell?! so this $50 thing should be sweet!!!!

HOLD THE PHONE!! i just read the terms and conditions for the blockbuster thing, and it is the same as the monthly thing! only 1 game at a time! what the fuck! oh i am just saving $10 by buying the special 3 month thing. screw you blockbuster, how flippin stupid!! oh, i'm sure i'm still going to get it...i just have to do the math and figure if it will be worth it. just like netflix......did i already tell ya'll how much i LOVE netflix!!!! now if i just remember to send the damn things back, to make it worth my $$.

HOLD THE PHONE AGAIN!! i just read the terms and conditions for the $20 game pass and it says certain stores may have different numbers of games allowed out at one time! well hell, now i'm gonna have to call and see what the one here allows out at one time. so much work!!!! but i am feinding for some video games! it is pretty funny, because i don't even really actually play the games. i just tell bob what to do. i mean we will sit for hours playing damn games! they are so addictive. as soon as you make it through one level, you just have to try for the next. and then alot of these games now, you can't just save when you want, you have to make your way to a save point. yes, i'm queer, i know it! but we have fun.......fight alot as well, but we have fun. yes, we fight about games! well damn, why doesn't he listen to me when i tell him a damn zombie is coming and to get the hell out of there.....he turns around and runs right into it, losing almost all his lifeforce.......AGH!!!!! who wouldn't fight about that?! the last game we played was manhunt, and boy was it great! it was really different cause you didn't have guns or anything to fight/protect yourself with. so you had to sneak up on the bad guys, and depending on how long you wanted to sneak behind them (how brave you were) you could kill them in different ways, and you get more "stars" for the longer you waited to finally do the deed. it was real tense! i know you all are laughing at me! haha!! bob and i enjoy it, so that is all that matters. my favorite all time is still resident evil 2. that was like our first real long game. well, no oddworld was, which is awesome, but that wasn't a real shoot em up, scary, getting chased kind of game.

anyways before i keep going on and on about games, i'll just tell you we are planning on getting driver 3, splinter cell (the first one), kill switch, hitman (the first one), and i am sure there are more.......

one last note, i do play some games myself, but that running and shooting up stuff kind of gets to me. i did kick ass i must say on ratchet and clank, 1 and 2. I DID IT ALL MYSELF, EVEN WITH NO WALKTRHOUGH! i was proud! the rest i leave for bob, that way we both get to enjoy it, i get to order him around like usual, and he doesn't listen, like usual.......so we are happy! haha!!

ok, we are video game nerds! i admit it!

~6-24-04~ WHAT the?!

what the hell are THESE all about?!

and why did i have to buy them for my husband the other day??! oh he just wanted to try them out..........WHY?!

somehow this led me to this.....have you all tried that altoids gum?!?! all i can say it DAMN! that shit is hot!! i swear sometimes i even choke.....yes it is that bad. i love altoids, and it has been a while since i had them, but this gum tastes like you just bit into about 5 of them at once. all i can say is WOW!

~6-24-04~ Swimming

We are getting Clay used to the pool. he went in yesterday with bob, and he even went under. to our surprise he didn't freak out!!!!! now this child freaks when i wash his hair and water gets in his face starts screaming!! what the hell?! oh well. i thought for sure, because of the bath thing, he wasn't going to like the pool much, but he does! yipee!!!!

the only bad thing is that the thing he likes most is climbing up and down the damn ladder. what a pain in the butt that is. even if we aren't swimming, he has to go up and down. and now the down is jumping into your arms. so now we have to take the ladder out and lay it on its side if we aren't using it.

i'm getting excited for bob's vacation. i can't wait to go to the zoo. i've decided to go to the cleveland zoo. i think there is more to do there than the akron zoo. granted i've never been to the one in akron, but i LOVE the cleveland zoo!

that is the first place i have ever been to a butterfly "house", and i am addicted. i love the one in niagara falls. plus the whole rainforest deal is great too. i figure if it gets too hot at least i know we can go inside to the rainforest, and there still be a ton to look at and do.

i'm hoping to do that on wednesday, well actually i'm going to check the forecast for the coolest day. the last time i remember bob and i going is was so god awful hot, all the animals were hiding trying to keep cool themselves.

monday i have to finally get started on my root canal. that week along with the zoo i also want to go down to amish country. i am in desperate need of candles!!!! they used to have a warehouse right down the road from me, but it has closed, so now we have to head down there. i like it though. i love going to all the different shops, plus it isn't too far of a drive. i also thought maybe thursday we would go to the hartville flea market. the last time we were there, years ago, i was sort of disappointed, but since he is off, i figured we could give it a try. along with all that, there is a TON of stuff that needs done around here. bob thinks he is going to build a huge type flower bed out in front, but i honestly don't see that happening. it would be nice and pretty, but we will see. i'd rather get the yard set up to put up the swing set that we are planning on getting clay, or i should say my mother is getting for him. it's HERE.

our biggest dilemma with that is what to do for the ground. i don't want it to be grass, cause it will be a pain to mow around and weed eating, is not an action in bob's brain. i thought about mulch, like they have at the playground, but i don't think that would be comfy for bare feet. i'd really love sand, but i don't feel like having the neighborhoods largest litter box in my back yard. so then i got the idea of outdoor carpet. we are going to til up the ground and then somehow put that down over the area, the hopefully encase it with railroad ties, preferable, but the are expensive, or somekind of landscape edging. i think it will look nice, but we will see. if not guess we will just have to stick with grass, and bob will just have to start weed eating more than once every few years. if you all have any other suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

well that is about it from here.....not too exciting or anything, so i will leave you with a link to a blog i read, My Daily Rambles . i don't know if it will take you to the exact entry, if not check out the entry: Disgusting 6-23-04. TOO FREAKIN FUNNY!!! so hopefully i can end with you all laughing!

~6-24-04~ Makes you think....

I got this from Kelly's site, and thought it ws very interesting:

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:

57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south, 8 Africans.

52 would be female 48 would be male. 70 would be non white 30 would be white. 70 would be non-Christian 30 would be non Christian. 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual.

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing. 70 would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth.
1 (yes, only 1) would have college education.
1 would own a computer.

~6-23-04~ WARNING

i got my little warning thing from go-quiz.com. i butchered the code though, so i am linking it here....you can even get your own! WOW! hehe

~6-22-04~ Well....

i didn't go right to sleep last night. i went up and was messing around for a bit, then i heard people yelling and screaming. i couldn't tell if it was serious or just loud people like i have in this neighborhood. well, i did try to be nosey and look out. i was even about to call 911, my child is sleeping! then i heard sirens. so i had to get dressed and go out and be real nosey. HERE is what happened.

so basically ever fire truck an ambulance in canton were outside of my house last night. and so was i til 4AM!

~6-22-04~ Launchcast

one last thing. if you have tried to go and listen to my radio station, i don't think it is currently available.

damn thing! i didn't know the free version had a limit of some sorts!!! so since i have been jamming to songs adding them to my station, i hit my limit, for a whole month!!! so i have to wait a whole month, to edit it, add to it, or let you all have access to it. it sucks i know! :)

they suck you in just to get you hooked, and buy the upgrade version for $3 a month....so yes i am considering it......i suck!

i'll let you all know when you can access it again.

~6-22-04~ Hot or not?!

ok has anyone been to this site?! www.hotornot.com

how stupid is this site?!?!?! sorry if any of you are on there...just my little ole opinion.

anyways, the gist of the site, is you submit a photo of yourself and others go there and rate you. so basically people who are so insecure of their looks go on there trying to get validation from others on the internet!!!!

why was i there you ask? i went there through a link from another site.

so i really didn't find anyone attractive, i mean if they really were, why would they need to be on there......well i went through some (a lot) and gave all the not so attractive ones a high score, and all the ones where you know they thought they were the shit, i gave them a LOW score! haha!! what a way to crush their egos huh?!

anyways, i ran into THIS guy!!! how freaking hot is he!!!!! DAMN!!!! i actually had to give him a 10, cause he is just HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! calm down jennifer! whew! and how sad that i have it bookmarked and keep looking at him.....now who is the pathetic one! haha!!!!

at least he isn't trying to hook up with anyone, or at least he says so there on his little profile thing......HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!

so hot in fact, that i had to write a whole post just for him! ok molly, you are right, my life is boring! :) but you know you are going to be checking him out and then calling me agreeing.......so how exciting of a life do you have? :)

~6-22-04~ Addicting

you know what i am addicted to......closed captions.

we always have it on our tv, and i find myself reading my shows, instead of actually watching sometimes. when we rent movies, if they don't have captioning available, we are pissed.

it really becomes a habit if you use it.

and sesame street, is very bad with the captions. they miss half of what is being said, and then totally reword parts. what the hell?! that is supposed to be an educational show! so why are they leaving out parts of the "sketches" that are supposed to be there?! then some shows doesn't even have them. what's up with that?! it is 2004, all these shows now days should have them.

i was surprised that the dvd monster didn't have captioning available on the menu, but i turned them on, for our tv, and they popped up. so we were happy. we went to the movies a few times and i even asked bob, what are we going to do without any captions to read! haha!! i know we are queer!

sorry molly, that i am not more interesting, and that i am so boring......i'm just living up to my title at the top of the page. :)

we had a busy day/night tonight. when bob got home from work we headed out to the "mart". well, we stopped at lowes first, had to get some more flea shit, and a vacuum belt. then to the pet store, for some more flea shit....i got some cat nip scented bubbles, for the cat.....he could care less!

i returned all my previously mentioned swim suit stuff at walmart. $77 dollars worth!!!! their shit is real picked through now, i got a few other things, but after just trying them on, they will be going back as well. i'm just not meant to have a new swim suit this year. i should just give up. they are going to start not letting me return stuff anymore. so after getting $77 back what did i do?! went and spent $300 more! on what?! i have no clue. all i know is i went nuts with the bubble stuff. my child is fascinated with bubbles. i got this cute little gun at the dollar store that blows bubbles, but he just broke it the other day and has been spazzing since. so i wanted to get some good bubbles anyways, cause the generic ones just don't cut it! so i got this cool ass, or should i say big ass gun that blows bubbles, it was marked down to $5. i got some extra bubbles, then i also got those new things where the bubbles are spill proof...got a big one and a package of little ones. we also got clay this neat little easel. on one side is a chalk board and on the other is a magnent board/dry erase board. i think he will love it! i found a pool for him too, but there was no way it was fitting inside the jeep, so bob will probably go get it this weekend. what the hell else did we get. an air compressor, some food, didn't seem like much.....but it all sure adds up.....especially when you add 2 cartons of cigarettes on top of that.

we went to eat a ci ci's pizza. it is all a buffet, with a salad bar, some pasta, and different kinds of pizza and dessert pizza. it really isn't that bad. even as much as i went on in my previous post about being picky about my food.....for cheap pizza, i can actually eat it. they had VERY good alfredo sauce! and these cinnamon rolls they had....OMG!!!! heck, for $3.99 you can't beat it! we were stuffed walking out of there.

we didn't get home til after 9PM!!!!! that sure made the afternoon/evening go quickly. i'm beat now.

soooooo i should head to bed......quit laughing, it could happen!!

~6-21-04~ BOOOORING!

god! sunday night tv is so awful!!!!

i'm watching damn QVC!!! does that show that there is absolutely nothing on! and of course, i'm half tempted to buy almost every damned thing they show!!! thank goodness my purse is upstairs and i am too lazy to go get it!

i don't even really use bath and body products, but fuck if i wasn't about to fork over $50 for some damn set they had on here!!!!

now i am watching some cooking stuff. that is one thing i DO do! so i am real tempted to get off my big butt an head for the credit card!

i don't know if i told ya'll that bob is on vacation next week. well he has planned for us to cook on the grill everynight for dinner. he even has a menu planned! he can be so cute sometimes! :) but of course I'M the one who will be doing the cooking!

i got this thing in the mail for omaha steaks. normally they are god awful expensive, and i honestly wonder who orders from these people to keep them in business, but in the mail off there was a pretty good sounding deal for about $60. i've pissed around so i don't know if it will get here by next week, not to mention i'm not sure where i put it now. we thought we might try it out.

now they are showing some marinade injector thing. i have always wanted to try one of those, but too cheap to spend the money on it....maybe someday.

speaking of grilling, sort of, there is a hog heaven opening up down the road. they have had the sign up forever and i am get anxious for them to open. i have heard they have very good ribs. i never was real into them, til like last year, bob went nuts and we have been cooking them. i love them! god, i really can't wait for the ribs burn off this year! i usually only get pulled pork sandwiches, but now i may have to try some ribs, even though they also, are WAY overpriced!!

well, dooney and bourke stuff is on now, and there is noooooo way in hell i would pay that price for some damn purse!!!! i don't care what all comes with it! unless there is $200 that comes with the purse, why would you spend $200 on a purse?!?!?!? WHY?!?!?! oh yeah, the whole status thing..."i own a dooney and bourke purse", well woo-hoo?! i never even heard of them before until my friend got one. i must admit that in last weeks people or us, they had some pics of new ones coming out and there were some that i thought were adorable,like THIS one, THIS one, and THESE are my faves. i had a brief thought of getting one, but then my intelligence kicked in and was like, fuck that! $200, that is a car payment! if anyone out there loves me though and have the extra dough, i'd love the CHARMS one!!! :)

oh well, guess i will just stick with my walmart purses! hehe!!

how was everyone's father's day? i felt bad for bob today, he had to work! and to top it off he had to go do windows after he got off of work. which was his own fault, he had all week to do them......he ended up getting off of "real" work early. so that was a bit better. clay and i went to eat with my family, took grandpa out. we went to papa bears. UGH! i am very picky about my italian food. i am italian, so...... i just don't see how these places stay in business! olive garden, they are AWFUL!!! the only good thing there are their bread sticks, soup, and alfredo. papa bears today, was just nasty. i got the stuffed shells, and didn't even eat 1. they only italian restaurant where i will actually eat their sauce is the spaghetti warehouse in akron. they have incredible food!!! if you go get the mannicotti!!!! other than that, the only sauce i will eat is my aunts, my own or mid's, if you haven't tried it, you must find it!!!

ok, i'm about to burn my meatloaf, hold on..............

yes, i'm cooking meatloaf at midnight!! i took out the hamburger last night and never used it, so i had to today. bob loves my meatloaf, so that was going to be his father's day dinner. since i ate none of my papa bear's, that was his supper. i still had to use the hamburger, so i went ahead and made it. i'm about to eat some too, since all i had for dinner was some chips and dip i just ate.

anyways....back to father's day. i got home about the same time bob did, so we took clay to the park. my child just wanted to run around and get into everything he shouldn't. i thought he would get a kick out of the geese. he wanted to chase them. we tried to feed them, but he kept eating the bread. then all he wanted to do was go in the creek. played on the swings for about a minute. wanted to run into the people playing tennis. so bob basically just chased him around while i video taped him and took pictures. then we went to the rootbeer stand and spent $7 on 2 rootbeers and a strawberry milkshake....WHAT?!?!?

oh well, i'm off to eat my meatloaf......night-night!

~6-19-04~ Imagine this!

http://www.nbc4.tv/entertainment/3433747/detail.htmlWOW.....pretty unbelievable, huh?!

see jesse, you should have just picked trish!!!!

I LOVE this picture!!! 

~6-18-04~ bath from hell

well, my cat (still singular) was grossing me out with the amounts of flea poop he was depositing everywhere and all the scratching, so i bought some flea shampoo and decided to give him a bath. of course i have to do it when the urge hits me, or it will quickly pass, and it won't happen.

so i feed my kid supper, get him out of the highchair, and decide to throw the cat in the sink, it won't be so bad. afterall he doesn't have claws or anything.......what the hell was i thinking?! and how the hell long has it been since i gave a flea bath?! must have been too damn long ago, or i would have never attempted this!! here it goes.......

so i put him in the sink. he is much bigger than i thought...oh well.......turn on the spigot, wish i had a sprayer, but nope. i kind of put him under the water and it is basically just rolling off him, like a damn duck. great, so now i have to somehow let go of this death grip i have on him, or he will jump out, to try and ruffle his fur to get him wet. that sucked! so then i also somehow had to let go and also grab the shampoo and squeeze it on him!!! so he was squirmy and i was getting pissed off. not to mention clay was right on my legs wanting up....go away!!!! AGH!!!!!!!

then it gets grosser (is that a word??), more gross, as i see that the suds that are dripping off of spook are like a rusty, brown-orange color, due to all the flea poop/dried blood....lovely! what could be worse...oh when he shakes and flings it all over the kitchen!!! did i mention i had a basket full of clean dishes sitting on the counter.......YES, great!!! so i am getting beyond grossed out....so i look at the clock, since this stuff has to sit for about 5 minutes. i look at his poor eyes, and there are, i am not exaggerating, about a billion fleas on his face, all by his nose and eyes, everywhere....so now i TOTALLY freak out, i shove his face under the faucet...he then freaks out, probably thinking i am trying to drown him.....he keeps jerking, i keep trying to submerge his face and get those fuckers, so then i like douse his face in the shampoo....which you aren't supposed to really use in the face (eyes, ears, nose mouth area)...well he is covered.....he is blowing bubbles from his nose (once again, no joke). then i am freaking out cause i have it in his eyes, so i am trying to rinse his eyes off, without rinsing the rest of it off........oh it was just one big fuck ball!!! he eventually chilled, either he was scared, or half dead by that point. i got him rinsed, then was trying to pick all the damn dead fleas off him, there were just so many, i had to give up and go check on my poor child to make sure he wasn't half way to pennsylvania by now.

thank god that was all over!!! whew!!! so i was all happy.........he was all nice and soft and shiny....

cut to next morning.....i got to get clay's breakfast ready. my legs tickle......i look.........there are fucking fleas all over my legs!!!!! ok damn it! i freak out once again. i get that awful citrus stuff i wrote of before, and sprayed the hell out of my kitchen floor....there were quite a few!!!!! i am assuming the bastards jumped off of him while i was bathing him, or they flew off during his shaking.

i was pissed! that spray shit is oily. so i sure couldn't leave my kitchen floor like that!! (it is tile) so then i had to mop the bitch, which i don't do. you actually need to get on your hands and knees to make it look nice, which i definitely don't do....so i have no mop! had to send bob to get one. my floor officially looks like shit now. at least before when it looked like shit with all the cat hair, crumbs and what not, it was shinny. now it is all dull, with that, "you need to get on your knees bitch!" look. oh well, it will just have to stay dull looking.

i still haven't looked for my other cat. there is no way i could attempt the above with him. not only does he HAVE claws, he is much bigger, so i can only imagine the joy that that would bring.

i did get some new drop shit for their necks, so maybe i will go look for him sunday. if i find him, bob can help me and we can attempt the thing in the bathtub and clean him up all good.

oh well, quit laughing at me! i was so stressed after all that shit! god, why do i have animals?!?!?!?

~6-18-04~ YAWN

sorry i didn't get to post last night, i fell asleep! yes i was asleep by 10:30.....why, you ask?

my child is trying to drive me insane. no, not really, yet! i'm sure it is just some toddler thing he is going through, but i am getting tired of it already.

i think he is now going through his separation anxiety phase, which i thought was supposed to be like last year. if you leave, doesn't really matter who you are, he freaks! like cries and sobs, hard!!! for a long time after you are gone. i can kind of see if i go, since i hardly ever go anywhere....but now it is bob, he leaves everyday for work, you think the kid would be used to that. and of course grandma, he throws an absolute fit when she goes, and she too, leaves almost everyday. today it was even my grandpa. he doesn't visit all that often, so i didn't think he would go bonkers when he left.........YEP!!!! real tears and everything! so that is a pain. but now recently he has also been throwing a fit and bedtime and nap time. usually it isn't all that long, but it breaks my heart to leave the room while he is standing up in his crib screaming reaching for me!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

tuesday night he did his normal thing and he would get quiet then cry, quite, cry, quiet, cry...you get the picture! well usually he doesn't cry, just whine a bit, but he was really crying. last time he did that was when he threw up all over the place and me, the great mommy i am, was letting him "cry it out"....only to eventually go up and find my child covered in puke! so i broke down and went up....no puke, he was fine. so i picked him up and rocked him for a bit, he was great. as soon as i stood up to put him back in his crib.....cry, scream. i came downstairs, smoked a cigarette, and he was still crying! so i got the good ole' aspirin (tylenol) maybe he wasn't feeling good. gave him that rocked him, he was just going crazy "talking" up a storm, my child was not going back to sleep! by this time it was 10:30. so we came downstairs. i finally took him back up around 11:30, he whined around til about quarter til 12. ok, so i got no "me" time that night! thank goodness and knock on wood last night and tonight was much better. but damn! my child never ever cries or whines and now he is turning into a whiner! he is lucky he is so damn cute he can get away with it for a while! :)

my flea situation is still moving uphill i guess, shouldn't say anything, again, cross fingers, knock on wood. i only see them in the basement, BAD still, in my bedroom and the spare bedroom. i'm lazy....i don't go in the basement, it is still off limits to everyone and everything in the house, so out of site out of mind. same with the spare bedroom, i'm not in there much, and when i am, i do a quick check of legs and feet and gone. also with my bedroom, quick check and then quickly jump into bed. i'll probably re-spray them this weekend. did i mention the horror that was giving the cat a bath?!?!? if not, i will give that one a special post of its own.

so i'm not all stressed out about fleas now, except my mother, who has to inspect my child everyday for new bites, and give me big lectures and everything else about what i am doing wrong and what i should be doing and basically calling us hillbillies!!!!! oh, but i love her!!!!!

so that has been my excitement......i know you are just waiting for the flea bath story, so i will end this one and get to it!!

if you want to check out my reviews got to the link on the right.

~6-15-04~ Hi!

well, i probably shouldn't say anything, but i think the flea thing is subsiding a bit. the basement is off limits to, the still singular CAT. i sprayed the hell out of it sunday. well, the whole floor i could get to.....now there is a PILE(S) of clothes and much boxes, so i'm sure there are a billion of the fuckers in there, but i will deal with those later. before once you stepped down there they would be all over your legs. i went down this morning to grab milk out the fridge, and didn't get any. bob said he had 1 or 2 on him. that is a huge improvement from before. so far i haven't seen any fleas on the first floor. i sprayed the hell out of clays room with some citrus stuff, that smelled awful!!!! the only place i have still seen fleas is in my room and in the spare bedroom. so those are off limits to clay and cat, singular. i will douse them with the left over citrus stuff probably tomorrow. i'll need to get more though. i damn near used the whole bottle in clay's. oh and i picked 4 of the bitches off him while we were outside today!!! bob was supposed to spray the yard last night, but it stormed like a bitch. he was then going to spray tonight when he gets home, but guess what....it is storming like a bitch!!!! so hell!! i got some flea shampoo and we were planning on washing the cat, singular. i was reading about that shit i put on him and all it does is make the eggs not hatch and make them sterile or some shit. screw that, i want them fuckers dead!!!! so bath it is i guess! now if and when i go find my cat, i don't know what the hell we are going to do, i may have to take him somewhere to get dipped, i just can't see bob and i doing it. he has claws and i am sure he won't be afraid to use them if we try to put him in water. i thought about getting some spray stuff, but i did that to my cats i had before and they were all foaming at the mouth and it was awful!!! plus i still don't think we'd be able to hold him still for it.

on to my cat....i feel awful for not looking for him! i was going to last night when i seen the lightning. but by the time i was ready to go out, it had already started downpouring!!!! same with tonight. i'll have to try tomorrow, i feel VERY guilty!!! poor guy out there in these storms!

well at least most of that is all good news for a change! nothing to really bitch about yet this week........

oh well.....when bob did windows yesterday, the lady we work for said she has a house this week, she hasn't called yet. but bob is working his ass off before their shut down. they have been working 6 days, this week he is on afternoons, working 6 days his last is saturday, he gets off at midnight, but then he has to go in sunday days at 8am!!! what the fuck man!!!!! i take it they are working 7 days next week or just starting up early sunday so maybe they will finish up the week early and start their shutdown early. so next week is his last til the 5th of july, if they work that day.

oh well......till tomorrow!!

~6-12-04~ SIGH

nothing new really here. just doing different techniques to get rid of fleas that i have found here on the internet.

my newest attempt is borax. i have already went through 3 boxes of the stuff on all of my carpet in all of the rooms. so far so good i guess. i also found out to my dismay, that the basement must be headquarters for the entire flea population in my house. as soon as you step off the bottom step, onto the floor, there are fleas covering your feet and legs!! so after freaking out, i poured a whole box of borax on the basement floor. i've been down there several times since and i sure don't see that the borax made a difference! i don't know if it takes a while, or if the stuff doesn't work on cement floors!!!!!!!!! so fuck!!! that is where my litter boxes are! so that means that everytime my cats went down there to go potty, they came back up loaded with fleas! so i moved the litter up on the landing. hopefully my dumb ass cat won't jump over the baby gate i put to block the steps. notice i said CAT, as singular, i don't know if i already wrote, but i cannot find MY cat!!!! i don't know what in the hell happened! i didn't see him get out! and i have called, offered food, everything and he is nowhere in this house. i've been out the past few nights and called for him, but nothing! am i a totally awful person, since i am not really all that upset?! i'm sure the more i think about it the more upset i will get..........i think right now the fleas just have my brain fried and anything that takes fleas away from the house and is not adding to, i am happy with, even if it means my baby is gone. he is my baby too. even though i bitch about him alot! last time he got out he was gone for about a week before he came back. he has got out twice in his life. i'm thinking the first time he was gone longer, i'm not sure. i just know he doesn't actually come back, well last time he didn't. i have to go out and call for him and wait for him to meow to me for me to go find him. he is weird i told you all that before!

ok, now i am watching unconventional births on discovery health. these women screaming are giving me the willies!!!!!!!!! i don't know who all reads this, and feel free to comment, but why would you want to go through all of that natural!!!! at one point i thought about having my next natural, this one practically was...and then watching this i was really thinking about the whole water birth thing....but then i see these women screeching in pain and you know what.......give me the damn epidural!!!!! why go through that if you don't have to?! and what is all the screaming about anyways?! the only time i even wanted to scream was when i was pushing, but that is because i thought my head was going to explode from "hold your breath and push...count to 10, do that 3 times!!!!" my head was killing me!!!!!!!!!

i don't know if we all had this discussion, or should i say if you had to suffer through my story telling of this...........

these women look miserable!!!! and i cannot bear their pain!!!! i also feel awful for those in there with them.....everyone looks so sad and helpless! in a way i want to go natural so i can "see" what all the screaming is about. i didn't even go to the doctor to "make sure i was in actual labor" til i was already dilated to 8!! by the time we made it to the hospital i was 9. i was no where near the pain these ladies are! i was upset cause i thought i was too far along to get an epidural. i don't know if they get worse after your water breaks?! these ladies water hasn't broken yet and they are killing me! to me it just felt like real bad gas pains and pressure. then again i have had some real bad gas pains in my day before this. maybe i was sort of prepared?! my actual contractions started around 9-10AM, but it was really no big deal. just little twinges every few minutes. heck i got up, packed my hospital bags, called my mom.....and debated what i should do. i didn't want to call bob, i had just talked to him, he was doing windows that day, and he just called to say they got there. i knew he should be home in a few hours. well of course THIS day traffic or something was ungodly and he ended up not getting home til almost 2PM!!! i was figuring out if i should eat or not. some say eat something light, others say not to eat at all. well, i was too nervous to eat, so all i did was smoke and drink caffeinated pop!!! 2 real great things to do, i know! then after bob finally did get home, then we sat and debated on what to do. i wasn't sure when you were supposed to go to the hospital. i tried to call my doctors but they were out to lunch til 1:30. so we finally decided to call them back and see what they said. and they wanted us to come there first to make sure it was the real thing. so we piddle pissed a bit. i didn't want to be one of those people who are forever in the hospital waiting and waiting. so we were really shocked when she told us to go DIRECTLY to the hospital NOW!!!! after she checked me is when the contractions started to get a little uncomfortable. we got to the hospital probably about 3:30 or so, i was at 9, got my epi, i was happy! at 4 they broke my water, at 4:20 i started pushing and at 5:20 clay was here! it sure didn't feel like an hour!!!! it all went real quick!! i was very lucky! my friend molly's water broke around 4PM i think, and she didn't have her baby til the next day around noon!!!!!! UGH!!!! i would have totally hated that!

i think i definitely will have the epidural again. i don't think the birth would have been bad, i just would NOT have like the catheter going in, the tearing, the stitches, cleaning out the uterus, and emptying my bladder! those sucked and i was numb, i couldn't imagine not being numb for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right there is enough for me to yell, EPIDURAL PLEASE!!!!! as a matter of fact that wasn't even as bad as i heard it was going to be. the only thing with that is when they were doing it, you couldn't move for like 30 seconds or something, and at that point i was having contraction one after the other, how are you not supposed to move!!! then again, when you know there is a need in your back that close to your spine, you know NOT to move!!!!

oh well.......why all this baby stuff! i should know better to watch those shows! half of me wants one now, half of me is like no way!!!! we decided to wait until next year after summer. we are going to take a family summer vacation, and then we will try it again. so that should work out, hopefully!!!!

on that pleasant note, i am off....bob should be home shortly!

night!

~06-10-04~ Last comic standing

has anyone been watching this? we missed the first hour of it yesterday. i really didn't get to pay much attention to the last hour. tonight i didn't really get into it either. i hate how they all get to tell like 1 joke. what the hell, i can't even tell who i like and who i don't. maybe next week i can actually get to see what kind of material they have.

i tried to tape the ultimate love test thing. was tonight the first episode?! well i screwed that up, so i didn't tape it!

ok, now my child is crying....what the hell........

ok, i got this from another site.....what the frick is THIS about?!

i am actually kind of offended by the whole thing. i mean i am not one to criticize anyone's beliefs or practices, but this just seems very wrong, very naive and just plain nuts!!!!

ok, now read THIS one, i get it now, it is a huge marketing ploy. now they are trying to guilt others into BUYING these and pass them out. that sure don't seem christian to me!

ok, now i am reading these god forsaken things and i am getting pissed! get THIS!!!! mind you i am not a practicing catholic, or any religion really. if i had to list one it would be catholic, because that is what my family "is". i have my own faith and belief in god. so i really don't know my "stuff" in trying to argue any points here, but i think this is just totally ridiculous. half of the things lose me and i don't know what the hell they are trying to preach, but the one mentioned here really upset me. let me read on, and i'll get pissed and bitch about more i am sure.....

well, i can't read any more, they just upset me, plus i can't keep my eyes open

night all!

~6-10-04~ Rain, Rain

well the rain came and it made a huge difference in the temperature! it is 20 degrees cooler now than it was this afternoon. 20 degrees!!!! that is a hell of a jump!

as i said in my earlier post, i'm not sure our whole ordeal yesterday was teething. he was fine today! a little warm, a few whines, but other than that normal!! so i don't know!!!

i am becoming a vacuuming freak!!!! i've read on several site that is a key factor in eliminating fleas. so i broke the friggin belt in our new friggin piece of crap $200 sweeper!!! i hate it. bob took it apart to see why it smelled like it was burning up, well the belt was broke cause a ton of shit was caught where the belt was.....what the hell?! no wonder it has been sucking, well NOT sucking lately!! so i dug out our old sweeper, very good, but old, an original phantom. well that sure didn't work, the reason we got the new one in the first place. so i am cussing causenow there is shit from both the broken ones all over my carpet. thankfully i had a little, old piece of crap in the garage, that molly and i used for our cleaning business. that little sucker worked like a charm!!!! except it smelled something awful!! it has a bag, and that bag has been in there and sitting for almost 2 years now! so that was unpleasant, but at least i got to vacuum up all the junk and hopefully a few billion fleas. i also sprayed the lighthouse room again, which seems to be the "main" infected area. i used almost the whole damn can of that stuff....the $20 stuff!! that didn't seem to do much last time!! well i coated the hell out of that carpet, so it better have done something! i may just have to take my butt back to petsmart and bitch!

maybe this is some huge cosmic sign that i have to start cleaning my house better and get rid of crap. i may try to get in the habit of sweeping everyday. and if we decide to go with the professional flea get rid of-ers, then we will have to do major cleaning and picking up. so my house may look like normal people's soon. not that it will stay that way mind you.

~6-9-04~ Pain in the....

well i called the pro's about my pest problem. at first i was a bit excited, when i heard $125 for the whole house, guaranteed, blah, blah...... then she proceeded to tell me that absolutely EVERYTHING had to be off the floor. NOTHING could remain, under couches, beds, no where! i also had to strip all of the beds, so they could spray the mattresses and box springs. noone or nothing (cats) could be in the house for 4 hours. ok WTF!!!! if i were to get everything up off of my floor,where in the hell am i going to put it, and that in itself could take months of non-stop work!!!! ok at least that is do-able, if we get our asses in gear, but what about my cats? what am i supposed to do with them for 4 hours?! it's not like i can take my flea bags to someone's else's house to infest theirs. and they aren't outside cats, so i can't just let them out. so what?!?!?!?! bob's friends wife works at a vet, i was going to have him ask if maybe we could keep them there for a few hours. why can't anything be easy for me?! i guess if all else doesn't work, i'll have to do what you suggested kelly...AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

the lady at the pest control place also said that we'd still see flea for, i thought she said a few weeks, maybe it was days, and that it may seem worse cause the chemicals are rousing them and drawing them out or something like that.....so them i was hopefully thinking that maybe that is why it seemed to have got worse here yesterday. maybe what we did sunday actually worked?! wishful thinking only i am sure.....like i said, nothing is that easy for me!!

so now i just have to figure out what the hell we are going to do. or should i say get our butts to cleaning, we really have no other choice. i'm just afraid to look under the beds, who know what else aside from fleas is lurking under there!! and where to put all our stuff! AGH!!!! i know, i know i have WAY too much stuff, i have heard that from more than enough people. guess this is one way to make sure you clean your house and clean out your unused stuff....get fleas!!!!

well now my belly hurts from thinking about all this shit!

at least my little guy seems to be doing better today. he still feels a bit warm. he ate ok for breakfast, and he even ate lunch, so that is better than yesterday. guess we will see when he gets up from his nap. maybe it isn't teething...maybe he just had some 24 hour bug or something. bugs..ah, don't et me started.

well as i had expected my friend never showed up this morning for her and bob to go do windows. well, bob was supposed to call her before he got off work this morning to wake her up. he did and kept getting her voicemail...i still haven't heard from her! i'm so pissed!! bob went to do another house we have and there is no water, blah, blah........so now he said he will just do it monday!!!!!!!!! why did i get back into doing windows, when i can't rely on either person i have working for me?!?!?

well, i'll get off here for now, my soap is on...i've missed i the past few days. i'm sure i'll have more to bitch about later tonight!

~6-9-04~ Why me?????

well............i don't even know where to begin. i think i am going to have a nervous breakdown!!

these fleas are driving me insane! as i have found out today, apparently what we did sunday did not do a DAMN thing!!! and if it did, i don't even want to know what it was like before.

what am i doing now. i am watching these little fuckers hop all over my bedroom floor!!! so being the picker i am, i'm here leaning over my bed, trying to catch these shits!!!

i'm sorry to go on and on about this, i still am in disbelief on how this got so bad so quickly. well how it even started at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bob did get some of the yard stuff, and we got some more shit for the house, but like you said, trish, i think i may just call someone so i can get this done and over with. i just don't know what i am going to do with ourselves and my cats if we all have to leave the house for an extended period. which leads me to my other stress.

my child is teething, i believe. remember the fever i wrote of last night. well everything was fine this morning. he still felt warm, but he was running around playing, eating everything. then at noon we came in to eat lunch, he wouldn't eat and laid on the chair, so i figured he was tired. i took him up to bed and he was out! i got in the shower, since i had to be at the dentist at 2:30. well around the end of my shower i hear something, so i turn off the water. he is in his room crying!!!!!!!!! so i jump out, try to wake bob up. i get him and he is crying and sobbing uncontrollably!!! it took forever to finally calm him. i was rocking him in his room. whenever i would get up he would start again. bob took him for a bit and he was screaming for me, so i called the dentist and cancelled. we went downstairs and he laid on the couch with bob for a bit, but you could tell he was miserable. i gave him some more aspirin (tylenol) and put some orajel on him. i don't really feel anything, so i don't know what the hell i am feeling for anyways. i called my mom and had her come over, and he was ok, sat with her mostly and they went on the porch, which cheered him up. i gave him some motrin around 7 and after that, he was like a different child! smiling and running around. i still couldn't get him to eat anything though. we finally got him to eat a few popsicles and some yogurt. i put him to bed a little after 9 and he was up a little after 10. i went and got him, bob rocked him and he was back to sleep by 10:30. he was whining a bit around 11:30-12, but fell back to sleep.....so here i am waiting for him to wake up. i feel so awful for him!!!!!!!!! i hate when he doesn't feel well. i hope they are all coming in at the same time, the rest of his did that. he got 5 at one time! so i am probably in for a few days, weeks? of hell!!!! especially since i don't feel them, who knows how close they are to breaking through. my poor little guy!!!!

i know there are worse ailments and worse situations out there then what we are having here, but i just hate that all this stuff is happening to my child! that is why i am stressed! i'd rather my pipes burst, or i get bronchitis or something....just leave my baby alone!!!!!!!!! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get him out of pain!!!!!!!! i hate feeling so helpless on so many levels!!!!

we had our solar cover on our pool the wrong way. well who knew that the bubbles went down?! it sure didn't tell you that on the box anywhere. trust me we looked! should have known we guessed wrong! a few more days like today and it should be nice by this weekend! dirty, but nice and "warm".

well i thought there was something else i wanted to go on and on about but my mind is fried! i think i am going to head to bed!

night-night, don't let the bed bugs bite (or damned fleas!!!)

~6-8-04~FLEAS!!!!!!

ok, i am about sick of writing about and dealing with fleas!!!!!

we were outside playing today and i picked 2 fleas off clay's socks. we had been out for a while, but figured he might have carried them outside. well later that day we had been out for some time and i got one off of his back. a few minutes later there was another on on his chest!!!! ok, so now i KNOW my yard must be infested with these fuckers and that is what caused this whole problem in the first place!!!!!

i told bob he better go tomorrow and get stuff for the yard, we just busted butt to spray the house and do all that this past weekend, i'll be damned if it was for nothing. i am sickened to see my poor child all bitten up. when i look at his poor legs, face and back, i could cry!!!! it looks awful. thank goodness it doesn't seem to itch or bother him!! but i pray something will work soon! my mother is bitching at me telling me to not let him outside. so what? i am going to trap my kid in the house?!?!?!?! trust me i had already actually thought of that! but we can't do that. can we??? :)

i don't know what is up with clay now. everything was fine all day. we came up to get ready for bed. i was on the computer and he was on the chair with me. we have a lazy boy in front of our computer.....can you tell how much we are in front of it!!! and i thought that it was so cute that he was just chillin there with me and not all spastic about hitting keys and pulling everything off the desk. then i thought that he felt warm, then thought maybe it was just cause i was freezing. finally i decided to check his temp. well damn it to hell, i can't find the thermometer!!!!!!!! it was downstairs on the stand forever. i remember telling myself i better finally put that up...well, now i don't know what the hell i did with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so in the mean time he was running around, and slipped on some paper he threw on the floor, and was crying.....which led to nonstop whining, with tears!!!!!!!!! i was like you are going to bed, he looked tired earlier.......so then i was stressed! was he crying cause he was tired, was he crying cause he wasn't feeling good, was he crying cause he hurt from falling?!?!?!??! what the hell!!!!!!!! so i gave him some tylenol and sat down to settle before bed. he seemed half asleep so i took him up, he got up like usual, but stayed when i put him back down. then around 9-9:30 i heard him!!!!! he finally quieted down around 11!!! he never cried or anything, but i hate not knowing what to do! just heard him roll over a minute ago, but that was it. i hope he is not getting sick. talk about heart breaking. i can't stand to see him not well. thankfully i have only been through that once so far!

so of course now my mom is freaking out thinking he got west nile or something from the flea bites. so now i am instructed to call the ped. tomorrow and find out what to do. which is strange, she thinks his doc. is a big quack since she gave us some advice that my mother didn't agree with....

my root canal is tomorrow!!! yipee!! i know most people wouldn't be excited about that, but i am so looking forward to not being in pain anymore. just hope that this is the right tooth that we are doing. my eye appt is friday. so of course since i am so busy this week, the window lady called and she has 3 houses to do this week!!!!!

i broke down and called my friend who used to do them with bob. i'm gonna see if she wants to start doing them again. i just hate doing them. especially with bob working 6 days and then the only day we have for the weekend, we have to go do windows all day...nothing is getting done around here!!

well, that is my week so far, hope you all are having a good one!

~6-7-04~Damn fleas, update.....

well, we attempted an extermination today.

we went and bought some flea spray and carpet stuff the other night. i was freaked out about using it though, cause it said to vacate the room, til ventilated and surfaces dry. what the hell?!

so we took clay to my mom's this morning. put the shit on the carpets upstairs and sprayed the hell out of everything downstairs. it was a pain in the butt, i had to corral the cats to the basement, then i had to go and cover all of the aquariums.

we went shopping forever! got another bathing suit, remember the last one was too big. so i got a large, and of course this one was too freaking small!!! i don't think i am meant to be in a bathing suit this summer! all i want is a damn black top part! i got 2 cute pair of swimming shorts. i love them, but without a damn black bathing top, i can't wear them! i also got a few more of the tanks i wrote about before too. the ones with the bra thing built in. it's funny, i just found out they are pajamas!!!!! haha! i've been wearing the things out! screw it, they are comfy! i found some other ones as well, and thank god i tried them on, cause they sure didn't fit! i just don't get how i can wear a medium in one thing and then can't even get into an extra large in something else! pisses me off to no end!!!!!

REO speedwagon.....haha! you know you dug them! :)

anyways, so after shopping we came home to unload and vacuum all the stuff up. so hopefully that worked. my poor child is getting attacked by those fuckers!!!! i also got some skin so soft lotion the other day. i know the spray oil they have used to work on fleas, kept them away. my dad used to spray it on our dog. so i have been putting that on clay as well. i don't know if it has done anything for the fleas though....

fingers crossed that this nonsense is almost over. bob will probably spray the yard this weekend. that may help so we don't bring them back in. i just don't get why we have these damn things!

after the last gross flea story i told you, i remembered another while spraying today. once we were spraying the carpets with this nasty stuff my dad had, and on the bottoms of the couches you could see where they were all jumping too trying to escape!!!

me so horny......hahahaha!!!! i wonder what the hell my dad thought about me listening to this stuff!! i know he would never tell me what i could or couldn't listen to, but my god!!! i mean yeah i was 16, but still.......

my parents were great about not telling me what i could wear and not wear, and listen to or watch, but i honestly don't think i am going to be that "open"! there is no way my kid is going to wear his pants down to his freaking knees!!!! NO WAY!!!! no rap shit! except NWA and 2 live crew! haha!!!!!

who knows, i have quite a few years til then.....

one more good song and then i have to get to bed.......

i remember you...skid row, such a GREAT song!!!! i loved it from the get-go, i'm a sucker for love songs. then one of my good friends got killed in a car accident and his sister played this song for him, and that made it even a more sad song, and now reminds me of him. miss ya tony!!!!

......maybe 1 more...... :)

blue....leann rimes...ok, bedtime after this.....night all!!

~6-7-04~ New toy

i got a new toy today.

a new epson photo printer.

the guy did a pretty good sales job. i checked out some sites before i went and everyone was praising epson's so that is why i checked them out. the ink and paper is cheaper than the others, and from what i seen it prints pretty good.

i tried printing some stuff, it didn't look like what they had there. i am going to try and use their photo paper and see if that really does make a difference. i have some cheap stuff from bj's now. so i will see if that makes a difference, i have heard that it does. if not i will take the bitch back. it was a lot of damn money!! i haven't played with all the neat stuff yet.

i wasn't looking to get an all-in-one since i already have one, but since i can't get mine to work with windows xp, i figured hell, i might as well get a new one. add to my printer collection i have going on! haha....it's not really funny, it is disgusting! hopefully i can sell my other 3 on ebay. i may keep one for my invoices and everyday stuff, and just use the new one for photos.

ok, it must be time to go to bed, i have some weird shit coming up on my station now. all night i have been skipping shit that i hear everytime i get on and have already rated, now this crap.

~6-7-04~ MUSIC!

so, i'm still playing with my radio. all i can say is boy do i sure have some varying tastes in music. it is pretty funny!

of course the 80's stuff, then i have N.W.A. and 2 live crew (haha), then you have poison and warrant, then we have country and then brittney spears and nysnc. hahaha!! isn't that a variety?!

i'm jammin to NWA now. god i know almost this whole album! it was new and funny at the time. it's funny cause i HATE rap! my mother would have had a heart attack if she heard this album! i remember once i was singing to prince's darling nikki. the part about masturbating came on and she asked if i knew what that was. somehow i knew,i think, or at least i said i did, thank goodness we didn't go into it more. that reminds me of once when i was younger i was watching saturday night live with my dad, and something came on about orgasm's. so young, innocent me asked my dad what that was. talk about feeling stupid when he told me!!!!

it is funny what all music reminds you of. look how all that took me back!!

so, go listen to my station, maybe you will get a laugh or bring back some memories.

~6-5-04~ My Launch Station

i have added a link on the left for my Launch radio station.

come listen to my favorite music. i must warn you that so far it is mostly country, 80's hair bands, 80's music in general and a lot of mushy love songs. it is funny to go from pantera/metallica to slow love songs! haha! i'm trying to get some newer stuff on here, but i don't listen to the radio much, and what i do hear, i don't much like. i have some.....

check it out and/or start your own, it is addicting, just like this other internet stuff! :)

i hope the link works, i don't know why or how those dots appeared beside the link, guess i will work on that later. i have to get to bed, it is after 3AM, i've been adding music on the station since about 11PM.

let me know what you think.

~6-4-04~ One last picture

One last picture of my little guy.

he is forever having bruises on is forehead!!!!

he head butted my foot the other day and got a scratch from my big toe nail, along with a bruise! what the hell?!

he has learned the hard way to not head butt the floor when he gets mad. he throws himself down and goes to slam his head, then thinks better of it!

i think it is just a guy thing!

Why does my child always have bruises on his head?! 

arm warmer? what is my mother doing to me?! 

neat leg warmers! what a feeling!! 

look at me!! 

~6-4-04~ Fleas must die!

how is it that in a matter of days my house is infested with fleas?! it has to have been just a few days. you think i would have noticed this horse shit sooner!!! i just got bit 2 seconds ago on my fucking wrist! i have been picking the bastards off my socks all freaking day!

it is bringing back memories of glasses filled with soap water all over my damn house. if you throw them in soap water they sink and die. it is much easier than that splitting them in 2 shit.

my cats are lucky they won't sit still, cause when my poor dog had them, i would sit and pick at her for hours. i am a freak about fleas. i hate them! i just can't believe i am having to deal with this!!! we are for sure heading to the damn pet store tomorrow, we have to do something and do it now!!!!! my poor child is totally getting attacked. i can't believe i only have like 2 bites. i told clay, he has replaced me as the sweet one, so that is why he is getting all bit up.

any bets on if i am going to end up drinking the flea cup instead of my kool-aid?! they are sitting side by side and i keep grabbing the wrong one. that will be real nice!

i didn't get to post a pic of the a/c. it didn't turn out too well, since it is nighttime. i'll take a pic and share it tomorrow. but i sure do have some pictures of my little cutie!!! i was torturing him earlier tonight! see the pics and you will see. but we were having fun!! haha!!

~6-4-04~ It's here!

well i got my new a/c and furnace today! yeah. how sad is it that i was freezing and turned it off. of course it wasn't that warm out today, but still wanted to play with it for a while. it is supposed to really warm up this weekend, so we will definitely get to see how it works then.

my new furnace!! it's so pretty and clean! 

~6-2-04~ Flippin Cats!!

well my butt busting carpet scrubbing all seems to be for naught! Piggy's ass still went in the same spot in the living room. so now i am to the conclusion that it must be the generic litter. he never ever has done this!! even when his sister used to go all over the house, he still used the box.

so since bob didn't do as i asked, taking the good litter down to the basement, i did. i almost killed myself lugging the 35 pounds down there. i have a huge ass bruise on my leg now, it is killing me, the skin is scraped so it feels like a rug burn!!!! so now i am going to take his ass, piggy's, down there one more time to show him that the good litter is now in all 3 of the damn boxes we have out!!! so this better end all the nonsense! which also means i will have to scrub the damn carpets yet again! i want to just pay one of those company's to come and do it. the one i was looking at says they move furniture, but who knows what the hell is under what they are going to move. so when they move stuff, do i have to follow them around with the vacuum?! i might just tell them don't worry about moving stuff, just do the open areas, and the spots i know for sure are piss-infested. SIGH! i hate having to deal with this shit! no pun intended!!

well, i got my nails done today! woo-hoo! i've been waiting for like a week now. it wouldn't be bad, but i usually wait a whole month before getting them filled and they look like crap. so now they are all pretty, so i am happy!

i tried on my new bathing suit i told ya'll about, it doesn't fit. it is too big! so i may take it back and see if the large will fit. i don't know if i much like the design of it now that i have seen it on though. i just love the tank tops with the built in bra thingy. the medium one i have been wearing seems good so far. i still didn't try on the large one, still think it will be too lose to actually "support" anything. but to just wear it around the house may be ok. the ones that have the underwire bra built in, i tried on the large and it ain't happening! still didn't try the extra large. i hate trying on clothes! i just get pissed, i don't know why all sizes can't be universal and be held to those damned standards. it would make stuff so much easier!!

i actually laid out in the sun today for 2 hours!! i don't remember the last time i have ever done that.....i don't even know if i ever have! it still doesn't look like i got much on my neck/chest area. that is my main concern since i have like 2-3 different tan lines going on there!! my thighs are still WAY darker than the rest of my legs, or any of my body for that matter. i got a little more color in my face too. god only knows what the back of me looks like, since i can't see. well, god and anyone who is behind me! :) i laid on my belly for an hour and fell asleep, hopefully i got something.

well tonight started vh-1's 100 metal moments. these were the best years/memories of my life, best music ever as well. god, it seems like it was just yesterday that i was all rocking out to all these bands! oh, the good old days!!!! hhmmmm.....and now if and when i listen to the radio i am into country music and some pop, big difference from the 80-90's!! haha!!!

my good news for the day. i got a new credit card! yeah!!! it is actually a real credit card. not like most of my others, that due to a bankruptcy, have huge interest rates and usually a annual fee. this makes my second "real" card. they both have pretty decent credit limits too. so now i think i am going to get rid of at least 3 of my others. the one i just got was a citicard. i got 2 of those mail things the same day, and realized they were both backed by citi. i applied online and got the screen that said i would hear from them in 3-5 days, so i figured i was declined. i sure got it in the mail today though!! along with another card offer from citi again. this one is kind of cool, cause you get points. not that it is a big deal, but if i use these peoples cards i might as well get something back!! so i may apply for another one through them and get rid of all the rest of my others. just keep 3 good ones.

fat girl on elimidate!!!! not that i a being judgemental (glass houses), but if you saw what this girl was wearing!!!! come on, you don't wear mini skirts and a half shirt if you have stuff that hangs out and over!!! UGH!!!!! anyone want to bet me she is the first one to go?! you know what, she is not bad looking either, why did someone not tell her to not wear that in public. now she is sitting down, she doesn't look like a big girl, maybe she is just one of those who are kind of thick in the middle. she is the cutest one there!! ok, well another girl on the date has a baby daddy who still lives with her!? what the hell?! she is telling her whole big baggage story now....so, i think she will be the first to go! why do i watch this show?! ok, baby daddy girl got booted. why would she even bring all that up on the date anyways?! these broads are whacked!!!! this other girl just said she is 38 and has totally grey hair, it's dyed brown. WHY would you tell that?!?!? WOMEN!!!!!!

oh well, enough excitement here for one night for you all........can you stand it?!

~6-1-04~ TV news

so did anyone watch the show tonight, the one who got away. how weird would that be! in case you don't know. a guy had 7 girls from his past, most were ex's, come back and he got to choose one to start over with. he ended up picking his most recent ex. i couldn't believe which of the 7 he picked to go on to the final 3. it was just a one time show, i think next week they are bringing back that who wants to marry my dad.

i also heard that the new joe schmoe show starts june 15. have you all seen the first one. oh my god it was hilarious!!!!!

for those of you who have no idea what i am talking about. it was on spike tv. this guy thought he was going on a reality tv show where they lived in a mansion, blah, blah, blah, the usual. well everyone on the show was actors except "joe schmoe" he thought the whole thing was real. it was GREAT!!!! i don't know how dude didn't know that it was all a joke, some of the stuff they did was outrageous! one of the challenges was keep your hand on the hooker. they had to see who would keep their hand on a naked lady the longest. they chose cards to see what part of them had to be on what part of the naked broad. on another one they had to lick chocolate off some porn star to reveal words or something. i can't remember the rest, but they were a trip! this one guy on the show was a total dick. it was so, so, so funny. if they ever show repeats, which i know they had, but if they do in the future and i see, i will let you all know, you have to watch.

anyways the new one starts june 15 only this time instead of 1 joe schmoe, there are 2. a guy and a girl. so i'm sure this will be funny as well.

i just give so much credit to the actors. i mean these guys have to live their part 24 hours a day, for i don't know how long they were actually in the house. and then they would have to come up with stuff right away. a couple of times they screwed up and had to cover their butt, but the guy never even realized. just a great concept and a great show!

that is it on the tv front! night!

~6-1-04~Funny

i'm watching leno. morris day has a new album out. jay said it is his first in 14 years, i don't know if that is true or he was being funny, but guess what song he is singing??!! the bird!!

after all these years he doesn't have any new songs? granted noone will no any songs except this one and jungle love. then again i don't know anyone who will even know these guys unless you are my age, and were a prince/purple rain fan. haha!!!!

he still has jerome with him and they still do the same old dancing! hahahahahahaha!!!! they actually even look exactly the same! jay isn't saying morris day and the time, just morris day.

oh hell....omarosa is on conan tonight. i wonder if i have seen this already. i thought i posted kind of recently that i seen her on some show, but i don't remember which. maybe i'll remember from conans monologue. he is so flippin funny!!!! it is a repeat, from spring break time, so i don't know. that was too long ago for me to remember.
