Vampire for 2 weeks

I have been hissing at the sun for the last 2 weeks. I have had the CRAPPIEST schedule at work! We have a new cash audit process that cannot start until after the store is closed and yours truely was elected/appointed to learn it and to train everyone else on it. Yeah, no pressure there! I dont go into work until 5pm and I have been getting home between 2 and 3am!! YUCKY! I cannot wait to get back to doing ONLY my Visual Merchandising!! I am very tired of doing too many things and not getting any compensation. I am no longer going to kill myself doing too many things for an employer who is not wilingto pay me for my efforts. Dont get me wrong, I love the people I work with, just not the company I work for. Yes, I am hunting! Say hello to my buddy Churnabog! 

Im me, ifn' ya dont like...........TO BAD FOR YOU! :)

I hate it when that happens. Your soooooo sleepy that you fumble through your underwear drawer and grab what you think is your FAVORITE pair of undies! So you throw your clothes on and then all day you feel weird and you dont really know why. So the magic hour arrives you leave work and when you get home you realize that no your not wearing your favorite undies after all! The ones you have on look like them, but they are not them! SOMEONE HAS BORROWED YOUR UNDERWEAR!!! THEY MUST NOW DIE! Okay, maybe not DIE, but definately suffer somehow! People in my life tend to borrow my stuff and invade my space when Im not looking. THEN, they act as if nothing has happened. It irritates the crap outta me! See, God made personal space for a reason! So do others a favor today, and give them their personal space! In fact, do it ALL THE TIME. The world would be a better place if those nasty space invaders would just all go to Exile Island and eat crushed snails! Dontchya think? 

Random pointless blog day

Someday, Id LOVE to see this! Its ony my list! #4 to be exact. Directly under Ireland. Although, I may rearrange my list geographically, because you never know, I may get to cross some places off and if I list them by geographic location, I may be able to cross more of them off.

So Im working very odd hours this week. We have gone ot a new cash audit process that has to be done before the store closes or opens. That means that I have to count the money from the days sales right after we boot the last customer out of the store. I left the store at 330am. That would be why this blog was written at 5am. Im not tired yet. If I go to bed before Im tired, I dont sleep. I still am trying to wrap my brain around the fact that I know someone whos been to Italy and has stood in structures that are 1000's of years old. How weird is that? You touched something that was sweat on, spit on, and lots of other things done to it over 2000 years ago!! Boggles the mind! Okay Im done now! G'Night! 

I need professional help!

So, I tried to lighten my hair with a drug store hair color. It didnt work that well. Its a little lighter, but I think im gonna have to go to a salon to get the color I want.........OUCH!!!

Now, Im going to rant. I may offend the masses of people who read my blog, but it is after all, MY BLOG, and I can say whatever I want. If I offend you, Im sorry, but there are billions of other blogs you are free to go read. So, on with my rant.

I got to talk to my best friend in the entire world today. I dont think she knows that when I talk to her, it is always the bright spot in my day. I was recently given the honor to stand up next to her (sort of) while she married the man of her dreams. The day was jammed full of emotion for everyone. I was feeling so many different things, I didnt know what to say or do for her. So, I did what I knew best to do, just be there for whatever she needed from me. I tried to shield her from anything unpleasant, but was unsuccessfull. It rained on her magical day. TO her and me rain is the best kind of fun. But to most people it is a great annoyance. She would not have minded getting married in the rain, but she gave up that part of her dream to get married in her parents family room. To see her do this, crushed me. Ive known her for 14 years, and when we'd be silly and talk about the imposible dream of marriage, hers was always the same, in her parents front yard, with a bbq reception in the back yard. TO see the cerimony site set up, and ready, but never used, made me cry. Espically the next day when we cleaned up the chairs and people calously tromped over the isle of yellow roses, it made me sad.

The absolute most irritating fact of the entire event was the brushing over the fact that there actually TWO families comming together, not one family getting bigger. My best friends brother, did not get to sit with her at her own rehearsal dinner. He was told to just find a place. The wedding party, was shoved into the corners. Recognized of course by the bride and the groom, but unless you were lucky enough to be a relative of that clan, you were not that important. To their credit, they did have a rather large number of people fly across the country to attend the cerimony. BUT, it was, after all, a celebration of TWO people, not one.

I was relieved to see that the reception was a smash hit! I hope with all my heart and soul that my best friend did have a happy day that she will never forget. I still cry when i look at my dried out flowers that I will try to preserve. Im looking into some kind of shalacking stuff for dried flowers. Ill let you know if it works or not when I test it on something else. No wedding ever happens without a crisis of some kind, and without offending someone. The strength comes from the ability to move on and let the shallow ones drown in their own puddle of conciete. (stop spell checking me K!)

I love you dearly K, my heart was over flowing with pride for you, happiness for you, thinking that B is the lucky one to have found someone to put up with the way he smacks his food, wishing you and him only the VERY VERY VERY best that life has to offer, and of course envy.

Sometimes you just know when things are not going to happen for you. For me, I know that children will never spring forth from my loins, and that marriage or even a long term relationship, is not in my future. Im mostly okay with that. I have friends. Sometimes I get lonley and sometimes I feel like Im imposing on others, but that feeling never lasts too long. Its barable and Im tough most of the time. Ive always known that you would find that magic with someone K, and Im elated for you. Im sorry that your day was not what you dreamed it would be,b ut I hope it was still the very best day. 

My little Ka-lala-pooh is all grow'd up!

SHE DID IT! K graduated high school! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous for a while there. She slacked off and had to go to night school in order to graduate, but she did what was necessary, and she made it! I am very proud of her! I, unfortunately, had to work the day she graduated, so I didn't get to see her walk across the stage (yes, I am still angry about that but work will owe me BIG>>>>HUGE>>>>MASSIVE favor!) I did however, hear her graduate. Rissie called just before they announced her name and when they announced it......i cheered for her! then I cried cause I missed it :( She knows that Im proud of her and I love her. That what really matters! Way to go K! 

La~Bachelorette in Vegas!

So, I finally developed the roll of film from the Vegas trip in April. This is one of the pics that K did not receive :) I didnt take many, as we were a bit smooooooooshed in this bar. It was recomended by K's friend (Thanks Exercise Queen!) It was a small but great Dueling Piano bar in New York New York. There were like 5 bachelorette parties there and a couple bachelor parties so the place was HOPPIN! We had gone to another the night before and it wasnt really a place we fit into. Espically with a $25 cover charge!! The piano bar crowd was friendly! They made K feel very special and she did look hot that night! The bues brothers were all over her! I believe she even got a bit of cash!

At the last minute I threw together a tiarra with a vail on the back (at Ks request of course) that we found at a Claires. I had wanted to make her one, but I wasnt sure if she would wear it! So when she said that she wanted a vail to wear out that night I ws ALL FOR IT! My skills from work actually paid off! It wasnt the most beautiful vail, but it did the trick! She got a few free drinks and some extra attention! All in all the trip was a blast! A bride and her 2 maids of honor hangin out in Vegas for some boy-free time! Or Free boy time, whatever!
