It's really NOT what you think it is....

It’s all the rage!

You get an invite for a Baby Shower, or an Anniversary party. You go out buy your gift, pick a special outfit. You get there; you are required to pick a number.

“UM, WEIRD, I’ve never had to pick a number before…..” You pick your number and are told to get into the next room. THERE ARE NAKED PEOPLE EVERYWHERE! HOLY SHIT Y’ALL! YOU’VE BEEN INVITED TO A MANDATORY SEX PARTY! There’s nothing you can do now, so get naked and get to screwin!*

*Mandatory sex parties do not exist (to my knowledge). I’m just tryin to help a fellow Blogger out!

Wow

Ever had one of those days? I have! Today was one, in fact. I need a drink!

Bye Tom! Good Luck!

Saturday we had what was probably the BEST going away party EVER. We’ve had a couple for Jamie that were pretty dang great, but it seems like this one was above and beyond on the fun meter. Everyone was completely obliterated drunk, and having a GREAT time. It was seriously EPIC.
We rented a VIP section at the Bar. Here’s a pic:

It was pretty cool having this little room to ourselves. It was a little pricey; $150 for the room and a bottle of Skyy Vodka with unlimited Red Bull and Cranberry mixers. The bottle had a lock on it so that only our “hostess” could pour for us.

We got there early so by 9:00 PM the bottle was gone and we had to get another. It turns out that we went thru 3 bottles of vodka in one night. You may think that is a lot, but 1. You don’t know my friends, and 2. There were probably 35 to 40 if us there. It was awesome!

I can’t think of a better way to send someone to boot camp! Poor Tom was totally wasted and was ready to go home by 12:30 AM. He had a good time though and was still drunk the next day! Great send off, I think!

Even old friends that we haven’t seen in AGES showed up! Thanks to you Tracey, Alicia, and Ryan! It was great to see you!

Here are some general debauchery pictures:

(I think we may have had WAY too much fun!)

So here is my good luck to you Thomas! I hope you have a great time there and make the most out of it. It’s not every day that you get to go thru 9 weeks of hardcore kick your ass-ness!

We will all miss you!

Oh no!

I am sad.

I finally realized, today, that I am now an actual ADULT.....

There is a high school about a mile away from our office and the kids get out around now. I was out back smoking and some kids drove through the parking lot blasting loud music and generally being idiots, and all I could do was roll my eyes. I find myself rolling my eyes at those youngsters more often than not, actually.

Then it hit me. How did I become so intolerant of teenagers? I obviously used to be one! The answer…. I AM OLD NOW.

I didn’t think I was old. I’m not even 30 yet (8 months away!!!). This is just confirmation that I am going to be one of those old persons that yell at everyone for no reason.

THAT could be fun, now that I think about it.

It was THIS close!

This morning I almost Sharted.



That is all.

ADD update

We started Carley on ADD medication on the 9th of August so it's been exactly a month today. Things have been going really well for Carley. She's feeling better, she's able to focus more, she's getting better grades, she's finishing her homework in class and she just in a way better mood. I attribute the better mood to her not getting in trouble as often as she used to. She still gets yelled at every once in awhile, but it's nothing like it used to be. Because of her attitude change she and I have has the best relationship we've had in about a year. We actually like each other again. It's amazing to me. I'm happy that it's working and she's happy and therefore we are all happy! There have been a few side effects I've noticed, but they are calming down now that she's adjusting to the medication. The benefits greatly out way the side effects in this situation.
So happy is a great thing.

argh! I'm back.....

Vegas was a blast! We had a great weekend. It totally felt like non-stop fun.

Saturday was our recovery day, but Saturday night we went right back out and got our party on! Sunday was a little miserable, with the drive, and Monday was worse because I had a whole weekend of stuff to do in one day.

So, I actually got a Vacation, but it didn't really feel like I got any time off. We were going, going, going all weekend.

Monday we started putting our new shed together. I had NO IDEA what a pain the the behind that was going to be! Wow, if they could make the instructions any more confusing! There were probably 200 screws in a bag and we got 3 bags of them! So that took a few hours of our Monday morning, and then we had a few people over for a BBQ and our weekend was done!

I really didn't want to come back to work on Tuesday. I think I need to win the lottery, start my own business and find someone to run it for me. Then I could pop in and work when I want to, and if I don't.... all the better. I think I would probably start an arcade, or a nail salon. I have always said that if I won the lottery I would build a super cool, super cheap bar, but I think that would be too much work for what I have in mind. LAZINESS!

Thank goodness for the short week after a holiday though. HOWEVER, I have to start working every other Saturday. It's only for 3 hours, but that I think makes it worse. I work from 9:00 AM to Noon, so my whole morning is shot. On the plus side, I get to take off 3 hours early during the week. Still, the thought of actually getting up to come to work on a SATURDAY is disturbing. I reiterate my need to win the lottery. Good bye Saturday and Sunday working. Although, I'm sure I would have a better chance at winning the lottery if I actually played it. I never know what numbers to choose. Birthdays?..... That's really all I got. Oh well, a girl can dream I suppose.

Here's hoping that YOU don't have to work Saturday's. If you do, I'm feelin your pain! If you work Sunday's, I am truely sorry for your loss. :)

Later!
