Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone out there is planning on having a great halloween! It is by far my favorite holiday!

I am staying in tonight and dressing up like a witch. Dooley is dressing up as Dead Elvis!

Stay safe!

Halloween Greetings!

This is Kaden.Or you can call him Flower! He is the foster child of Adrian and Patrick. He was taken from his crackhead mom and has been with them for about 2 months now.This is his halloween costume. He will so hate this photo when he gets older. He is so sweet.

I had such a good time at Collective Soul over the weekend. I had a great view form the VIP section. We were up above everyone else. They are so good. I think it was one of the best concerts I have ever seen and most definately the best Collective Soul concert I have ever seen. I love them so much!

I didn't go to work yesterday. I was out with a virus. A I don't want to work virus! I had a flat tire. I ran over a nail and it stuck in the side of the tire so I had to get a new one rather than get the other one patched. I have a traffic ticket I have to pay today. I am always shelling out maoney I am not bugeted for so I am once again broke!

I am loving the wheather right now! It is cool on the mornings and then warms up to the 70's during the day! Finally, the heat is gone! The dogs love it too! Dooley spent the whole day yesterday outside which if I am home is unusual for him. He is generally in the house underfoot.

I never know how to end these things! So, that's it!

Collective Soul Tonight

I am seeing Collective Soul tonight at Stubb's. It is an outdoor venue. I am so excited because this is one of my top 3 favorite bands! I had to call them this week to get a spot to sit down. I told them I was handicapped and I am. I have a placard for the car and everything. Because of my osteoarthitis I cannot tolerate standing for more than say 20 minutes tops! So, I get to sit in the VIP section(with the movie stars)!I can have 1 guest join me so Jan is gonna hang out with me while Jana and Gail stand down front! I am thinking VIP is all about wait staff so can you say vodka martini please? I am so LUCKY!!!(in my best Napoleon Dynamite voice)

What is Butt Dust?

JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more. Melanie said, "If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six."

STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. "I love you so much that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"

SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't give me this juice again," she said, "It makes my teeth cough."

DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I cost?"

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why is he whispering in her mouth?"

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried. When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied, "I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in?"

JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What happened to the flea?"

TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"

The story of the kid in church is my favorite goes like this.... this particular Sunday sermon..."Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you, we are but dust..." He would have continued but at that moment a little girl who was listening leaned over to her mom and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"

Yes Sir, things are definately virtually starting to go our way!

Baghdadis gather round the wreckage to remark on how much more gory the explosions clearly could have been.
Things are definitely starting to almost look up," Donnelly added.
Not-So-Horrible Thing Happens In Iraq

October 22, 2007
BAGHDAD—In a development Pentagon officials are calling not nearly as horrifying as usual, three car bombs ripped through a Baghdad marketplace Monday, killing fewer than 15 innocent civilians, severely injuring no more than 30, and merely maiming one U.S. soldier.

The car bombs, which were detonated by Iraqi insurgents at approximately 2 p.m., left slightly less than complete and utter devastation in their wake. As of press time, barely five families were believed to be trapped beneath the resulting wreckage, although upbeat U.S. authorities have estimated that number could be as low as four.


'[Iraq's] once-appalling conditions become measurably less dreadful with each just barely tragic bombing.'
U.S. Iraq Commander Gen. David Petraeus
"Not bad—not bad at all," said Lt. Col. Michael Donnelly, who claimed the attack is conclusive proof that the tide in Iraq is somewhat turning in a vaguely less-ghastly direction. "This is hardly the parade of death and destruction we've grown accustomed to. In fact, I've recently received word that our injured soldier isn't even going to lose his other leg."

According to Pentagon sources, the fact that only a handful of the casualties were elderly women is a testament to the success of President Bush's latest troop surge. In addition, because only the easternmost portion of a nearby Sunni mosque experienced severe structural damage, Monday's events will go down in military records as a "relative victory for the U.S."

High-ranking commanders agreed with the assessment, saying that the scarcely atrocious incident of mass violence was just one in a recent string of less than dreadful occurrences in the not quite as, but still very troubled region. Last week's suicide bombing of two schools in Fallujah, for example, left nowhere near 500 Iraqi children dead, and Thursday's sniping of three U.S. soldiers killed just two instantly, while the other, a 19-year-old Marine, was able to survive for nearly a whole day before succumbing to internal injuries.

"This just shows that we are getting to a point where things here aren't absolutely appalling and are now consistently just god- awful," U.S. Iraq commander Gen. David Petraeus said. "And that's great."

Noting a minute decrease in helpless cries for mercy, Petraeus added that the blast's aftermath was "not even close" to being as grisly as it could have been. A satisfied Petraeus also told reporters that Baghdad streets and avenues could be more accurately described as "blood-splattered" than "blood-soaked."

"This makes the tragedy that occurred in Samarra—when eight of our men were killed in a helicopter crash, half a dozen water mains were destroyed, a major bridge was bombed to rubble, several oil fields were set on fire, and an attack on an outlying power station caused widespread electrical outages—seem like a distant memory," Petraeus said of the massive damage inflicted four hours earlier in a separate insurgent attack. "Yes, sir, things are definitely starting to virtually go our way."

Upon receiving the not-altogether-hideous news, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was reportedly optimistic, but could not predict a realistic time frame in which the overall conditions in Iraq would become the opposite of terrifying, or even sort of halfway livable. However, Gates did say that if the bombings are any indication of future conditions, the situation in Iraq could be upgraded to "nightmarish" within months.

"We see before us the promise of a new Iraq, one that is only marginally devastating or even, God willing, just temporarily horrific," Gates said. "A couple more days like this and I don't see any reason why our troops won't be able to come home slightly earlier than never."

Broke Back Poody

I am so broke. I have no idea what happened other than I just spend more money than I make! I am so not enjoying this. I have till Friday to get paid and only $40. I still need gas $2.69/gallon but it is really $2.70 /gallon because it is $2.69 and 9/10ths. What is that all about? Why can't they just say what it really is? I worked all day on Saturday and then took Sunday off. I just pretty much lounged around in my jammies till around 2pm then I got up and went to the store, came back home, put my jammies back on, and the only thing I did was let the dogs in and out.

This morning around 4am I awoke to thunder and a rainstorm. It was chilly when I got up at 6:30 am around 57 degrees. That is downright cold here at the back door of hell! I guess a cold front came through. I know to folks like Ms. L. who has already seen snow this month this is not chilly at all.But believe me when I say this is autumn weather for us. I really do not have winter clothes. I mean, winter dressing for me means no sandals! Dooley was not having any of this cool weather this morning either! He stood at the back door crying to get in this morning! Needless to say because of the rain they are all in the house all day! I have a dog door but the neighbors have a little black mut dog and a blue pit bull. The pit will not let the little dog eat so he comes to my house every morning to eat. I do not mind but he wants to come in the house and I will not have it. He is not a good houseguest!

I am in week 12 of my Atkins diet! I haven't weighed again though since the week before Austin City Limits. My cousin was gone last week from Wed to Sun and when she came back I swear she looks like she is losing weight too. I mean, we see each other every day so I haven't noticed it before. I guess when you see someone every day it is harder to notice things like that. I asked her if her family commented on how much weight she had lost and she said no they had not! How rude!

Friday night the girls came over and we had a burn party.You know where you burn all the stuff that needs to be shredded. I had a huge garbage bag full of stuff and Jana had 2 bags and a box. Gail had almost a bag full. We started burning about 8:30 pm and we finished about 12:30 am! That was a lot of stuff. Of course, I looked at my fire pit this morning and it is sitting there full of water and ash! NASTY! That is going to be a chore I am not looking forward to!

Is anyone else watching the Psychic's reality show? I have caught a few of the episodes but it is interesting. The one I watched pitted 4 of them against each other in challenges. One of the challenges was to go into a hotel room and say what famous person died in there! It was where Janis Joplin died. I got chill bumps watching these people work! My cousin says I watch too much reality shows! Whatever! How about you? Do you watch reality shows?

The Most Functional Word In the English Language

Well, it's shit ... that's right, shit!

Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.


You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and
tell others to eat shit.


Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between shit
and shineola.

There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits. There is bull shit, horse
shit, and chicken shit.



You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the
shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle.

You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit.

Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days
are just plain shitty.

Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when
you feel like shit.


You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a
lot of weird shit.


You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit creek
without a paddle.

Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a
bucket of shit
and come out smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the
English language.

And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!!

You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't give a
shit!

Well, Shit, it's time for me to go.
Just wanted you to know that I do give a shit and hope you had a nice day,
without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some
shit-head...........
Well, Shit Happens!!!

Summer is Almost Over

So, my friend Beth just bought a house and there is a swimming pool in the back yard. It is a nice yard but there are too many trees and the pool stays in the shade most of the day. We tried to swim the other night but it was just too chilly.

In fact, this Friday night the gang is all coming over to my house for a burn party. We are going to take all the stuff you save to shred and burn it instead! Sound like fun? Come on over.I have a fire pit! My friend Annie is coming over with some things she still has to get rid of her son's. He overdosed last year and she still has this stuff. She says she is ready to part with it all and a burning ceremony is what she needs! Then that is what she shall have!I have a big bag of stuff myself!

I had the worst day yesterday which is a bad sign when you are stressing out on Monday but listen to my tale of woe! It actually starts on last Saturday. I had worked all morning and when lunch time came around and I was done for the day, I decided to take a trip to Lockhart for the best BBQ in the world. So, I get down there and I have no money on me so I hit the ATM machine which is going to charge me $2.00 to use so I decide to get out enough money for the week. $100. I do not have my purse with me and no pockets so I put the money in the food bag and sit down to eat and then head home. I eat out that bag the next 2 days on the food I had brought home. Come Monday morning I get ready for work and carry out the garbage to the curb since they pick it up every Monday morning. Come lunch time I go to pay for my food and no money! I think to myself, hey ,where is the $75m I had from Saturday? Oh no, I rush home only to find the trash has come and gone along with my money! Damn the devil! Ok fine, shake it off. But, now I am on empty for the gas in the car and need to go get more before heading back to work. I go to the gas station and pull up and ding ding ding... no money card either. I am still out of money! So, I head to the bank which thankfully is close by and sit in line for the slowest teller in the world! Finally, I get my money and go back to the gas station where I have to get out and go pay! What? I am so not used to doing things with real cash! I take $40 and get $30 worth of gas and a Dr. Pepper. I go back out to pump the gas and toss the 3 ones and a five spot in the open window of the car. As I am pumping gas a bum walks up and asks me to help him out. I tell him, sorry I am having my own money crisis toady. He mumbles something under his breath and then reaches in the open window grabs my $8 and turns to leave. I see this and start yelling,"Oh hell to the no, you did not just take my damn money muther fucker!" I am still holding the gas nozzle in my hand and I turn pulling it out of the car and am spraying gass all over him and the surrounding area. He starts yelling back at me and this Mexican guy on the next pump steps up and stops the guy shoving him up against the pump and gets my money back. He stands there talking to the guy and ends up giving him $5.00. I by this time am through pumping gas and get in the car and as I am driving off I stop and offer the bum the 3 one dollar bills I have. He reached out and took it then realized it was me and threw it back in the car cussing me and saying he doesn't want my fucking money! I drive off in a huff and when I get to the stop light I look down and notice he threw my money and the 5 dollar bill the Mexican had given him as well! I got jacked by and then in turn jacked a homeless guy! This cannot be a good omen!

I get back to work only to be bombarded by a constant barrage of phone calls each one more annoying than the last.A daughter of a patient called me. She is a verbal vomiter and will keep you on the phone repeating the same things over and over again! I finally just put her on speaker phone and continued working on putting a referral into the system. She has ADD or something and talks so much that you need not even throw in a uh huh! This went on for about 20 minutes which seemed an eternity. After that I get a call from a Dr. office looking for lab work on a patient that was done early this morning. Where is it? I call around to find out the nurse did not mark it as STAT even thought it should have been so now I have to call the Dr. office and explain to them in a way without saying it that yes we do employ ididots here! I rounded the day out at 6:30 pm only 1 1/2 hours after hours with a call from a demented patient who kept telling me the same things over and over again. Wheew!

Today is Tuesday and as such are historically, for me, bad.I am going to keep my hopes up that it will be a good day but it has not so far shown itself to be a good one! Ok, I am done crabbing! I am thankful for a job to be bothered at and thankful for.. hey wait a minute I am not gonna be thankful for the "w"! Fuck that!

2 year anniversary

It has been 2 years since the Rat Bastard was caught cheating and lying to me. I am still mending the broken heart he left me with. After today only 323 more days to go before I get over him. That is, if the whole it will take 1000 days to get over him theory works. This past weekend I went thru the room of pain and found some of his stuff in there ;like old pictures of him and his family when he was a kid that sort of stuff and old letters and cards that he had saved over the years. I did not throw them out. I took them and placed them in a container and set it out on the front porch. Now, I just have to figure out a way for him to be notified of them being out there without me actually having to call him and risk him picking up the phone. I want him to have the stuff but I do not want to talk to him about it. I wish I had his email address so I could just email him and tell him to come and get his stuff. I guess I have been a little on edge this whole past week and today because of the time of year and all. I so want this to just be over and am mad at myself for not being over it after 2 years! What is with me anyways? I want to not be alone but I don't want to date. I cannot even imagine a date with someone at this point in my life. I am just now being ok with who I am.
When my friend came to help me clean out that room one of the things she did was move the furniture around in the living room and she put the couch in the same spot that it sat for so very long while he lived here. I am still not ok with it although spatially it works. The way I had it made the room smaller and hard to get around but I swear it makes me feel uneasy sitting there on the same couch albeit with a different cover in the same spot where we sat side by side each and every night.I know, see what I mean ?I am perserverating on something that is so long gone it ain't even funny people and still I cannot move forward and put it behind me. No matter how hard I try, I miss him! FUCKING shit! And that pisses me off to no end! I do not want to miss him. I don't want to wonder if he misses me. I do not want to think about him at all! Ok ,I am gonna climb off of my pity pot now and go empty it hopefully for good! Yeah, right!

Cleaning House

I have been off for the last 2 days from work to get my house in order. I have a room I call the room of pain. It was a kind of catch all storage room before the Rat Bastard moved out and then when he was moving out he just chunked stuff in there. The result was a jumble of trash and discarded, sad, junked up crap! I kept putting off going through it because I knew it would be a big chore and it would hurt me to have to rummage through his trash! So, enter my friend Connie from Dallas. She is in between jobs and came down last Friday to help me get through the room of pain. She was brutal too. She was throwing everything out. I had to keep sneaking out to the curb to rescue things that I still wanted to hang onto. Like...my bowling shirt from 1977. Or my great aunt's nurse's cape from when she graduated nursing school. Probably almost 100 years old!Don't get me wrong though, there was a LOT of stuff that got tossed! I threw out a lot of stuff I had been holding onto for whatever lame reason. Like a broken wall clock I was going to take to be fixed about 15 years ago. Or a pair of stiletto heels I will never wear again. Or my favorite was my biniki from age 25! Damn, I was hot back then! But, it is all gone now.I now have 1 plastic box that houses old letters,postcards,pictures,concert stubs, and other various sentimental items. The room is a lot emptier but I still need a storage shed in the back yard. I have a lot of stuff and my cousin's stuff is all in the garage so no more room in there. I think I will start saving back the $ amount it would cost if I was to rent a unit and then when I have enough saved up go buy one! Maybe, but in case that takes too long I am also going to look into just going ahead and getting one sooner than that. I have to say that although it was hard on me both emotionally and physically to clean that room out it does feel better now that it is done. I keep going in there and looking around at what is left. It feels better too!

Quick Note

I am still at work and it is almost 7pm. I am done now except I wanted to post something but I hate the computer when I get home. I sit in front of one all day so when I get home it is the last thing I want to do and my cousin is usually on there playing games. I had a bad day yesterday. It started out yesterday morning when I went out to feed and water the dogs. I saw the neighbor's dog in the yard. She is a sweet little black dog,a mutt about 20 pounds.This does not worry me but there is another dog in their yard and she is a pit bull. I do not need a pit bull getting ahold of Dooley man. So, I put the dogs in the house and set out to find where this dog got into the yard.I looked and looked and never saw it. She, by the way, was gone back to her yard when I went back out to check the fence line! Ok, so maybe she jumped over!
I got in the car and took off for work. Traffic was exceptionally heavy and I inched my way to the "w". I was clipping along on Mopac when I got pulled over for changing lanes and signalling at the same time. He said I cut someone off! Whatever! I didn't have my seat belt on. I told him I have a torn bicep in my right shoulder and it is excruciatingly painful to try to put it on and take it off. I know it sounds lame but it is the truth. He could have cared less! I also had an expired inspection sticker! He ticketed me for the seat belt($145) and the expired sticker($123). Fuck me to tears!
I got to work and it was busy as usual. I am on my own and my job is very hectic. I got 16 referrals and I usually only get 3-5 a day but oh no we got 16 of those suckers. This is not that bad except that I kept getting interrupted while trying to enter them all. I could not verify medicare because for some reason my password to get in the system was not working! I had to leave to go to the Dr (psychiciatrist) who labeled me as being distraught when he asked me how my day was going and I told him I was having one of "those days". He increased one of my meds and told me to come back in a week! On the way out of his office I stopped at the soda machine to get a diet Dr Pepper. I opened it up and it spewed all over the place, me included! I went to the bathrooom to clean up and the paper towel holder broke open spilling out about 300 paper towels. I tried in vain to stuff them all back in there but the dang door was broken! I just started laughing! I mean really!
I go back to work and was thinking to myself I am stressing out and need to quit it now! Now is not forever! (My favorite mantra)But, no one of the anal marketers comes in hollering at me that a referral that had come in that morning had come in Monday morning and needed the nurse out there now! I explained that no, it came in this morning and the nurse could go out tomorrow. He insisted that the referral had come in Monday because the Dr's nurse said she sent it in Monday! (Right, like she wasn't lying to cover her ass) Whatever! I called the guy and talked to his daughter who told me she wanted the nurse to come out because he was so weak he couldn't get out of bed and wasn't eating.I suggested a trip to the ER. She said a family friend who was also a Dr. had suggested this also but she was reluctant. I explained the while we could come out and see her father that our services are not emergent and it sounded like he needed to be assessed by a Dr. in an emergency room setting. Ok, so that is taken casre of right? She will call me back to let me know if he is staying there or not. Now, here comes the anal retard hollering at me saying I need to send the nurse out after he comes home from the ER! Excuse me, medicare will not pay for the nurse to see the pt. the same day he is seen in the ER! If he is in need of nursing services that would be done by the ER staff! God,I hate when dumb asses try to tell me my job!After much cajoling he finally left with a sound verbal thrashing from me! In other words got the hell out of here!
I didn't get out of there until after 7:30 pm ! GRRRR!!!!I was so tired when I got home I just took a shower and went to my room and watched TV from the comfort of my own bed.
Today has been busy too. I have company coming in tomorrow and my house is no where near clean! I gotta get home now and do some laundry and sweep up some dog hair!
I hope everyone is having a good day and not joining with me in wondering where the hell my Calgon bath is!

What's on my Mind

I am at work and of course I am fucking off! My favorite work activity! I was sitting here listening to my radio station on Yahoo! The Counting Crows are singing about a long December. They have a new album coming out next month and I can hardly wait! They are without a doubt my FAVORITE band in the world! I have seen them so many times I can't even count anymore... well wait a minute,11 maybe 12 times. I know that seems excessive but believe me it isn't near enough.

I got the new K.T. album yesterday. It is sounding pretty good too. Matchbox 20 has a new album out this month. I think it is a lot of old songs with a few new tracks. The new Collective Soul album is great! I love the single Hollywood. Now if Better Than Ezra can just put a new album out I would be a happy woman indeed!

My friend Kelly and her husband went to Houston the other night to see Velvet Revolver who also has a new album out! She said they rocked! I saw them a few years back and it was one of the best performances I have ever seen. I haven't gotten their new album yet. What is up with that?

The "clits" are working on a birthday routine for fellow "clit" Gail's 50th birthday party. She wanted a drag show so we are putting one on for her and we have been meeting up every evening after work to rehearse our dance moves! It will be a fun time. I have been trying to find a stripper who will dress in drag and strip for us but I am having a hard time finding this. The people I have talked with all have a problem with the guy dressing in drag and then stripping. I do not see what the issue is I mean, what difference does it make whether or not you are stripping out of a police uniform, pizza guy outfit, or a mini dress and fishnet hose? The final result is you in a g-string on the table , right?Whatever! We may not get a stripper! The menu is vodka punch and and a penis cake! She didn't want a big party but we had to invite someone to come and watch the show! It will be less than 20 people though! To us, this is a small gathering! I still have to go buy her birthday gift and get my costume together. I have to have BIG hair for sure! Luckily, being a Texas girl, I can make big hair no matter what!

My old boss is now my counterpart. The talker is gone for good. She is not a well person and has retired. I hope she gets better but do I miss her? Hell to the no! My old boss knows her stuff and will be a lot of help when she gets through orienting the new boss, who by the way, seems very nice indeed!I hope she likes me OK because I have a very dynamic personality. I mean, you either like me or you hate me. There is not much grey area there. This is why after 30 years of nursing I am not in a power of position. Oh well, I don't feel like I am missing much. Maybe, a little more money and a lot more responsibility. To tell the truth I never wanted to be a nurse all my life! Too late now!

Dooley and I went to an open house over the weekend at the new Petsmart. Thye have a doggy hotel and it was so niice. They have individual rooms for the dogs with a nice little bed with sheepskin covers and a little pillow. They have TV sets that show doggy movies. They get 3 walks a day and have soft serve ice cream treats with doggy cookies! For bedtime they give them a kong filled with peanut butter! There is even a telephone booth so you can call and talk to them! I may have to use their services if I ever get to go anywhere.$25/day. Seems reasonable. Of course, everyone was fawning all over Dooley because he is so different. Plus, he is adorable to boot!

Last thought is about TV. Have you seen the new show Moonlight? I love it. The main guy is so hot. He is from Australia, of course! He was in a very bizarre movie,Feed. it was without a doubt one of the weirdest movies not to be from David Lynch I have ever seen! I am not recommending it but he is a looker!I think he may have been on The Shield last season as well. Anyways, check out Moonlight and see what I mean.

Ok, then back to work!
