Things to do tonight:

  • Fold all laundry (gag me with a rusty spoon)
  • Burn copies of photos for my aunt
  • Burn copies of DVDs for my other aunt
  • Pack cookies into tins that used to belong to my grandmother and send them to my aunts and uncle
  • Update resume (not that I'm planning on going anywhere, but after spending 5 hours last night building Nick's from scratch, I'm going to do my damndest to keep mine in check)
  • Call my grampa
  • Take the dogs to the park (they need to run, boy howdy do they need to run!)
  • Figure out food for dinner (boys are golfing, so I will have to fend for myself and not rely on their hunger to produce food in front of me)
  • Call Toyota's service manager and bitch his ass out (don't treat me like shit - I will make your life very difficult - ok maybe only a few minutes of your life, but nonetheless, it won't be polite)
  • Lounge on my shiny new sofa, chair, and loveseat (ok they aren't really shiny, but they are delightful)
  • Figure out a savings plan to have a house in a couple a few years or so (I'm thinking an online savings account - like ING or HBSC because they have higher interest, and no risk, any other suggestions?)
  • Bed.

I think I've hit that age...

Where my friends start getting married in droves (ok - maybe just engaged). It made me realize that one day I would like to be married. Sometime in the future of course, but the idea really is nice.

In the mean time - I'll keep on doing what I'm doing - two weddings a summer for the next few years I imagine.

Weekend with the fam.

Good times this weekend. I got shiny new rims on my car. That's pretty exciting... really - it is. My daddy also got us a hydraulic jack so I can switch my wheel-i-os out without having to take them to a dealer or a tire place. So that too is cool. Hope everyone had a happy weekend. I know some of you did!

I'm a Big Kid Now!

Nick and I purchased furniture this weekend. As in for real - adult furniture from the furniture store. Nothing that was found in an alley next to a dumpster or that was abandoned in the basement by the previuos tenant or that was purchased at a second hand store for less than $50. I'm not saying that any of these options is bad (seeing as I've done all at least once) - I just feel like a big kid now because I have furniture that no animals will be allowed on and that no shoes will touch and that I'll be hard pressed to allow a child to come near.

Please Stop Treating Me Like This

I understand that people have bad days... I get that. What I don't get is when they are constantly taking it out on other people. I'm tired of being treated like and idiot. I'm not one. If I pull an idiot move, I fess up to it. I'm not consistently an idiot, and I certainly don't appreciate being treated like one.

The best way to survive my job is apparently to know what is happening, who it's happening with, and when it's happening - before it happens...

I'm pretty sure that nowhere on my resume and application did I ever write "psychic" - perhaps "psychotic".

I'm tired of being understanding about everyone's personal lives. I understand that divorces happen and they suck and I understand that kids are awful sometimes, but I know how to keep that shit at home and not let it affect me at work. I haven't figured out how to not let work affect my personal life completely - which is why a lot of days I loathe coming to work - because I know that I'll go home and be pissy and that's not fair!

Life's not fair - I know this too, but I also know how to treat a human with respect and dignity and for many days in a row at work now - the same person has treated me like crap and I'm tired of it - and there's no one else to go to about it....

end. rant.
