October update

Ok, so here it is already October. It has been 5 yearas since the Rat bastard and I broke up and I have only dated one other guy who truned out to be a Rat bastard as well. I am giving up on the whole dating thing. I am not into shaving my legs and pubes for a man anyways. Plus, I am 53 years old now and I am not looking to impress anyone but myself. I bought myself a new couch. $3300. It is beautiful and I had it special made from the factory. It has a bit of a curve to it. It is big 8ft.11in. long. It is brown velvety feeeling materail. The matching pillows are the exact same blue,brown and green on the walls. I am so proud! Let's see what has happened since my last post. I didn't go to the ACL fest this year. Tickets sold out fast and I was not physically up for it either. I did go see Michael Frante and Spearhead though and they were great!I have been working on organizing my closet in the bedroom. I am such a messy pertson that if I do not keep things where they belong they would be scattered for here to there and everywhere in between! We spent weekend before last working on the yard. Picking up debris form storms etc. The dogs like to steal things and carry them outside to tear up like trash bags etc. I am on call for Halloween which sucks since it is my favorite holiday! How about those Rangers? Going to the world series! Yeah Texas! My alcoholic brother was admitted to the hospital last Friday for blood poisoning or sepsis from an infection in his foot that he will not take the correct traetment for. He checked hiself out AMA. It is only a matter of time before I get the call that he is dead. He is such a drain on the family as is. My mom is half crazy with worry. Every time someone calls from Fort Worth I know it is THE CALL. I know it sounds cruel but we have been dealing with his bullshit for too long. Alcoholics are selfish people who think only of themselves. I love him but hate his ways. I am working in the office this week which seems to be the only time I get to blog. I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done. I only have 3 more presents to get. It feels good too! I plan on going home this year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I haven't been home for Christmas since 2005. My cousin JB remains seriously ill. He is home now still with a trach on oxygen and he is so thin he looks like an Auswich survivor! He has a tube in his stomach for feeedings and a huge wound from pressure on his butt. I help out as much as I can but his wife is such a trooper. She is with him constantly. She told me once she loves him so much and cannot even think of life without him. I continue to pray for him. Speaking of which I have been going to church lately. I go with my cousin Linda to the 7:30 am sunday mass. I figure I go that early I can't be sinning before time. But then again it is me we are talking about. Well, that is all I can think of except the big dogs turned 12 this week. It is hard to believe but they are old. Osa can hardly hear anymore and Chula has poor eyesight. If they were human they would be on Medicare! They have arthritis ,like me. It is hell getting old.

September Already?

I have not been on here in a while. My friend Jana had her 50th birthday party at the end of July and we all had a great time. We had a big pool party and all the "clits" did a synchonized swim routine for her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGn7Nyr9Aso go here to watch it. It took about 2 months of practice to do it. Her daughter Kaylee is first up with her rap about her mama. Jana is the one in the pink tye dye clothes. See if you can figure out which one is me. We had a blast doing it.
All except for one of the girls who is not even in it because she decided to throw a big hissy fit the night before and stomp off after screaming at everyone and calling me a fucking bitch to which I took offense and almost had to pull out a can of whip ass on her crazy butt! She is a manic depressive and thinks it is socially acceptable to scream and rant and rave if it will get your way. I have seen it about half dozen times already and was in no mood to put up with that shit. So now, needless to say she has unfriended me on Facebook. Wah! Give a shit! NOT! But, the fallout of it that 2 of the other girls have decided to not talk to me either. One is the skinny clit in the video and the other is the girl who goes under and kicks her legs in the air. She actually told me she was dissappointed in the way I handled the situation and asked me not to call or text her. Whatever! I am not gonna be chastised for standing up for not only myself but the rest of those bitches. No love lost over the crazy ass bitch and the skninny one is talking to me again but the other one still bothers me only because I thought we were best friends. Apparently not though. I do not abide by conditional love from anyone. You either love me or hate me. I am loyal to my friends and will give her the benifit of the doubt but I am sure as hell not going to reach out to her. She put me in time out so to speak. But, sadly enough, I am not missing her so much either. I mean, out of sight out of mind right? Ok so enought of my whining. Enjoy the show!

July 1,2010

Here I am back in the office for a few days. It is cloudy and rainy today. Alex is making it's way to the Texas coastline and we will get some of it here too. We need the rain for sure. Now, let's dish. Right before my vacation I met this guy at a red light. He was cute and friendly and we ended up pulling over and chatting and exchanging phone numbers. He called me several times a day wanting to have coffee, drinks, movie, whatever before my trip. I put him off till after I got back from vacation. He told me he was a contractor and flipped houses. He had a job,truck, his own house, so he said. Sounds great right? Anyways, when I got back he would call me but only in the daytime and never at night or on the weekends. Sounding fishy yet? So, I asked him about it and he said he works so hard all week that he sleeps the weekend away. Whatever! Also, he was really fuzzy about his personal life. like where he lived, first he said he lived in Lakeway out by the lake then he said he lived on the other side of the dam so that would be like Cedar Park, Lago Vista, out that way. Then, he said he lived in Bastrop which is no where near the lake. When I asked him about that he said he owned 2 houses because he was living in one of the flipper houses till it sold.Okay, so everything can be explained away but there was always this nagging feeling in the back of my head saying this guy ain't right. So, anyways, he came over one evening and was all over me. I had to literally fight him off. I told him I wasn't that kind of girl an asked him if he wanted me to be that kind of girl and he said no. Then, I didn't hear from him for a couple of weeks. I kind of blew him off thinking hey I ain't no holla back girl!So, last week he calls me and says he has been thinking about us. He said he realized he had not been giving me enough attention and he wanted to rectify this by taking me out. I said ok sure why not. He called and made a date for dinner but never showed up. Then he called 2 days later saying he wanted to see me and I met up with him in the parking lot of a bowling alley for a chat. He said he was sorry and had been out of town working. He said he wanted to take me out so then Tuesday he called me during the day. It was raining really hard and he said he was done for the day. He came over to the house around 5pm. He came in, sat down, and immediately started trying to make out with me! I reminded him that I had not changed my mind that we needed to slow down and take it easy get to know each other,etc. He said we had known each other for over a month now.Whatever! I ain't going for it. HE said to me "so, that's it" I said yep that's it and y'all he got up and started to leave. I said what so if I don't fuck you, you are going to leave? He said he had to get back to work. I said bullshit, it is raining. he said I left the gate unlocked at the job site. he said I will call you later. I said don't bother. he said no you are upset. I will give you a few days TO COOL OFF AND CALL YOU. I SAID, NO, DON'T BOTHER i WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND. What an asshole! He told me he was Brad Cook and he was born and raised in Hawaii on Maui. He also told me he had been married in the past, had 5 grown children that lived in Hawaii. He said he had a girlfriend a few years ago but they had split up. Yesterday, I was sitting at the computer at work and thought hey I will run his phone number and see what it shows up. Yea, it comes up as a number for a Regena Smith who lives in Hutto a small town outside of Austin and a guy named Jose Sandoval who lives in South Austin! Ok, so I know I am not talking to him again! What a DICK!Hell, he could be a serial killer for all I know! I can sure pick 'em! I was minding my own business when he spoke to me! I guess no matter how old I get I will always have that sign on my forehead saying "all whacko come to me! "Man, I gotta get that sign removed!

Oil Slick

Expert: Surface area of gulf oil spill has tripled - Yahoo! News: "Alabama's governor said his state was preparing for a worst-case scenario of 150,000 barrels, or more than 6 million gallons per day. At that rate the spill would amount to a Valdez-sized spill every two days, and the situation could last for months"

What the FUCK???? Fucking halliburton! Cheny is still making life for the peons miserable!I am so not liking the sound of this shit! I want to go on vacation and see beautiful white snad beaches! I guess now I better grab a botlle of Dawn and a bucket! Maybe I could sue them for fucking up my vacation! RAT FUCKING BASTARDS!Ok I am done cussing! Shit! OOpS!Ok now I'm done!

Fucking Friday!

I hate working on Friday! I mean really now! I am on call all week and I had to go way out of town yesterday evening for an admit visit with wounds and IVs and the whole mess took me from 5:20 pm to after 9pm! I was exhausted and so was the client. I am so ready for this call to be over but now I have the weekend to look forward to. The title on call nurse is really a misnomer.It is really just mandatory work for the weekend because instead of just being on call and handling the on call problems they load her up with visits so that not only are you out all day seeing patients but you get to be constantly interrupted by the phone calls which are usually pain in the ass calls like where is my nurse or who is coming out to see me today! I am so ready for my vacation! Today has been so busy and the rest of the week I have been in here has been boring. I tried to get the scheduler to say she needed me in the field today but she said no, we were too busy in the office. One of the other nurses was in here yesterday with her hand loosely wrapped up in an ace wrap. She says she broke her hand and cannot work for 1 month. She fell on the job. Whatever. I watched her eat and write with the very same hand and she did great. I asked her why she didn't have it casted and she said as long as she keeps it immobile she does not need one??It is not immobile! I think she is trying to scam workman's comp and or short term disability. She says she can't work because she cannot lift anything iover 15 lbs. What? See, she has a grandbaby who must weigh less than that. I mean, really now what do we lift anyway? I have 2 torn biceps and can't go up and down stairs but they keep me pretty busy anyways. Ok enough of the bitching I gotta get back to work!

Office Life

I am in the office every day this week and on call! Geesh! My two least favorites things together! Who did I piss off? Oh well, I can catch up on my blogging for a change. The weather here is so incredible. It is just the right temperature and the wild flowers are glorious this year. The best I have ever seen!I have a new camera and it takes awesome pictures! My internet is not working at my house or I would post some of them. Once I get it up and running I will post for sure. I haven't been on Facebook forever either. I find it easier to post pictures there as well. I cannot get on Facebook at work. It is a blocked site! Well!the weenie dog races were this p[ast weekend but we didn't go because I let it slip up on me! I thought it was this weekend! Crackhead baby!17 more days till vacation! I cannot wait! I am going to order a new bathing suit right now BYE

Vacation

I so need a real vacation and in just 3 weeks I am going on one! I am going to Alabama. I know -what the fuck?? But really, they have a beautiful coastline and also Sherry lives in Alabama! I am hoping to talk her into coming down for a visity while I am there. My sister,Anna, my good friend,Debbie,her husband, Foots, her sister Helen , and Helen's grown daughter, KJ are all going. We have rented a beach house on a small island off the coast of Alabama Dauphen Island or maybe it is Dauphin Island... Anyways, we have rented a house right on the beach 4 bedrooms 4 bathrooms and you open the door and you are on the beach! I know it sounds wonderful! A whole week. I leave May 15th and will stay till the following saturday which is I believe the 22nd! The only drawback is the stairs I will have to navigate since the house is on stilts! There are no restaurants or fast food jpints and there is a little store where you can get a $6 loaf of bread so each person is resposible for 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner for everyone. my cousin linda is making her famous chicken salad for me to take along and that will be my lunch for the day! I plan on sitting on the big covered porch every morning with a cup of coffee and bailey's. Maybe kaluha.. or both. I plan on switching to vodka and diet cherry 7 up for the afternoon! I got a new camera and plan on taking tons of photos! 21 more days! Oh yeah! My sister calls me almost every day to tell me what she has bought for us to take! I love her so much! Oops looks like the boss is back from her meeting I gotta go act like I'm busy!
