Tell me if you feel a little poke okay

First off I'd like to appologise to the Badoozier (I havent figured out how to make the link a word so here it is http://gobholegirl.blogspot.com/) for so rudely and retardedly having my pictureoff to the side and words all off kilter and bokety off to the side. Im a recent blogger and have not yuet figured out the quirks, kinks and otherwise fun stuff available to me in blogger.

Okay, now onto the event of the day. I had my very first root canal! yeah me. My root canaler Dr. YaImaketoomuchmoney tried to be funny while he was digging for gold or oil or something in my mouth! He kept saying now you tell me if you feel a little poke okay. How am I supposed to tell you anything will all this crap in my mouth! I just love that rubber mouth dam they jam and wedge between your throbbing teeth. And my favorite is when I tell him that I feel a MAJOR POKE by jumping and kicking my feet and he says "okay just a little longer I know its uncomfortable" Then STOP POKING MY NERVE YOU JACKASS!!! Why oh WHY do they try to get you to talk to them and be all funny when you cant respond without spit dribbling out the side of your mouth. Tissue please nurse! I had to freggin ask her for it! Oh would you like atissue? No id like to continue drooling all over myself because Im just that hot you bimbo! Thank god for Hydrocodone and 800 MG Ibuprofen! I can still feel that long sharp drill thing! Shrek up there sums up how I feel right about now. On top of everything else, I have to go tomorrow to make a new impression for my crown because the lab screwed up the last one! Yeah me.

 

Cute pic found!

I just wanted to share this cute picture of my niece and myself. It was taken in June of this year a couple days after her graduation from high school. I cant remember the last time we had a picture taken together. I scanned it in so it came out lookin fuzzier than it really is but you get the idea. Looking at it now, I can see why people still think that I am her mother. My hair is dyed (WOW it was dark then!) when its lighter, I REALLY look like her! Cute isnt it! 

No pics.......just banter

I was talkin with my bestest friend in the entire world today. We got on the subject of stupid job hunting. I dont think employers truely realize how ANNOYING it is to fill out their confounded applications. What on EARTH does knowing the name and address of my elementary school have to do with my job skills. Why oh why do you want a copy of my resume........and then FORCE me to fill out your application and rewrite everything that my resume says??? THEN...........you have the balls to tell me no? Screw you and your application that your gonna shred in 12 months anyway! I hope you get bit the staple!

Today at work I had to set up our christmas shop. Yes "Christmas already?" Man if I hear that again Im going to punch someone! I was covered from head to toe in glitter! See, we have these trees to display our pretty ornaments that we sell and some genius thought....."what says christmas better than a tree covered in glitter" I dont know about you, but I ALWAYS put glitter on my christmas tree. Face it folks, christmas is just around the corner. Yes I know Halloween is first, and athen THanksgiving, but in the retail/merchandising world, they barely exist. People bitch about "forgetting halloween" well, the holidays are what we make them. Ifn ya like Halloween and not christmas, then go all out. Combat christmas with a haunted house in December.

Boy Im tired, I was at work at 3am today! YUCKY! After chattin with K for a little bit, I fell asleep for what turned out to be a 6 hour nap. Thats why I missed your 2nd call K Sorry! I was so out, I didnt even hear my phone ring! Thats also why Im still awake at midnight! Im sure Ill get to sleep eventually. Im off tomorrow so its all good!

K Im done now toodles!

The Vampire awakes again!

Tonight, I am playing a vampire at work again. THere is a major fixture replacement going on at the store. One of the departments is getting 15 new fixtures and as the person in charge of the look of the entire store, I have to be there. I dont like it, but it comes iwth the territory. That means that Im going to have a head ache over the next couple of days. EXCEDRINE HERE I COME!!! I'll say to Churnabog for you! Off to a nap I go! 

On the lighter side

Okay so my last couple blogs were a bit........heavy. Sometimes I just need to purge a little. So, this time Im going to talk about my favorite obsession...er.....hobby, Disney. I freggin LOVE IT! Most people like to go to beaches, or the woods or somewhere quiet to truely relax and get away. Me? I like to go to the crowded, noisy, looooooooong lines Disneyland. It is my place to relax. Weird huh? Most people say its the most exhausting vacation ever. I always hear "I need a vacation from my vacation!" when someone goes to Disneyland. Not me, it is my relaxation spot! I think its because I can scream and act like a kid and, just like the plaque at Disneylands entrance tunnel says "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". Who doesnt like to forget the world and be a kid! The first picture is called the Partners statue. This particualr one is at Disneyland and it is directly in front of Sleeping Beauty castle Walt Disney is waving at you "welcoming" you into his creation. The second picture is K's favorite Elliot! Actually, she took that picture (thanks K!) I tried to find a cartoon drawing of Elliot that was NOT a shot of the VHS cover. I could not. Hopefully soon. These things make me smile just looking at them! I can be in the WORST mood, and looking at Disney stuff, listening or watching it, puts me ina good mood. What makes you smile? What can bring you out of the funkies or the grumpies just by glancing at it? 

Heros

There are things that irritate me about 9/11 aside from the obvious. I do not like seeing the constant replaying of the planes flying into the buildings. I cognitively understand why they do it, but I just dont like it. I dont like that they say the people on the planes that hit the buildings are heros. They are victims, not heros. The heros are the ones on flight 93. The heros are the firemen and policemen who were running into the buildings and up the stairs, as everyone else was running down the stairs and out the buildings. They gave absolutly no thought to their own safety. Their first thought was "Get the people out!" They all had families, wives, children, mothers, fathers, and yet still thought only of the other people. We absolutly cannot forget what happened this day 5 years ago. We cannot forget Pearl Harbor & WWII. We have to keep telling it and reliving it. If we forget, then it will happen again. We need to build memorials and tell the facts and personal stories all the time. What happens to events if they do not get retold over and over again? They start to get patchy and incomplete and assumptions get plugged in. Please say thank you to your firemen, policemen (even when they give you a speeding ticket) and especially your soldiers. They signed up to defend our country and have to go where their boss tells them to. Its their job, its not their fault. DO NOT take out your political frustrations on your soldiers. ITS THEIR JOB, NOT THEIR FAULT!! My Uncle is a Vietnam Vet. He is still recovering from that aftermath. When he came home, he was treated like a disease. He did not recieve the heros welcome that he deserved. He was shot 7 times in Vietnam and still has 2 bullets lodged in him. He suffers from PTSD constantly. He did his job job. He followed his bosses orders. We follow our bosses orders all the time. We may not like it but it is our job and we do it. PLEASE give your respect to your soldiers, OUR soldiers. ITS THEIR JOB, NOT THEIR FAULT. Please make sure you never forget 9/11. Remember the tragic event, and the heros that came out of it, and the ones who didnt. 

Back from Tahoe :)

Tahoe was FANTASTIC! It was soooooo relaxing! We didnt do a whole lot. We took a drive all the way around Lake Tahoe. It was really beautiful! The weather was sunny, totally clear, not too hot. I took a few pictures which are being developed. I will post them as soon as I get them back. I didnt take too many because I did the driving and my companion was not too camera savvy. We did exactly as we intended, NOTHING and talked about Disney World. We ploted our visit. There was a small shopping strip next to our hotel that we stroled through. We were actually right on the state line, right next to Harrah's or Harveys. THey are right across the street from each other so needless to say, we were close to fun. I had my first Carmel Apple Martini.......YYYYUUUUUMMMM!!!!!! AND my first Mojito, pretty good. It was a well needed restfull weekend. I dont have to work until Tuesday so I have one more day. Good. I did not want to work tomorrow anyway. Its a heavy day for me personally. More on that tomorrow.

Reflections

Today, I reflect. I had one of the longest phone conversations EVER! It was a great phone conversation with my bestest friend in the entire universe! We talked about nothing and everything. For someone who doesnt like to talk on the phone, I seem to have perfected it with K. Its weird though, when we are in the same room, we dont feel the need to keep the convo going, it just happens. Before I call her though, I feel like Im supposed to have topics lines up. Not that she expects it, I put that on myself. Today I had nothing of any importance to tell her, but I called her anyway. I have just REALLLLLY missed her lately, more than normal. I have been thinking about the 14 years that we have been friends and how much we have learned from each other, and how much we still have to learn.

On her wedding day, the happiest day of her life (and mine!) I think I did okay. Im not really sure what a Maid of Honor is 'supposed" to do on the day of the wedding. I thought, okay, nothing at all is going right today and I just want to hug her and cry with her then go and punch someone AND something! No, Susan NO! She needs you to be strong for her. Was that the right thing to do? I dont know, the day seems like a blur to me, I was just trying to make it through moment by moment, still standing. Im not perfect (I know your shocked....NOT) I did drop the ball in the planning, K knows where and I have appologised. I look at the wedding pictures all the time, remembering eachmoment that picture was snapped. I was sooooooooo proud and honored to be the person standing next to her (sort of) peeking at her through Brad's parents heads and crying the ENTIRE TIME!

She told me today that there was a couple celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary! I cant imagine knowing someone for 80 years!!! Do you think we will know each other for 80 years K? Sure she says! I dont smoke, you dont smoke, we have a good shot! You make me smile, laugh at myself (and people who fall!). Do you know that in the 14 years we have been friends, that this picture is the best we've taken together? We dont have many pics of us together, and the ones we do have, we are making screwy faces! Another thing we have in common, we like taking the picture, not being in it!

I have some work to do. Im not a good communicator. I know its a problem for a blogger eh? No really, I mean if I have an issue with a close friend or say, a Best friend (I dont at the current time this is just an example) I tend to just stuff it down. I dont act like an adult and discuss it rationally. Here is the weird part, at work, if I have a problem with you, I will ABSOLUTLY tell you so. My former boss is LUCKY she is not there right now, or OOOOOOH MAAAAAN would she get an ear full, BUT that is another blog. When it comes to people I love, I have trouble bringing up issues that bother or concern me. I guess I kind of think that if I tell them, they wont like it or me and just be done with me. I have that happen before many many times and I dont like it. I know your different K, but you know, old habbits and all.

Remember puddle whomping? 4th of July bon fire at the beach? Deuteronomy? Clam chowder? Marshmellow feast? Well actually? Inflatable cock roach repellent? My Life and an ENTIRE BOX of tissue? Date night? New years at TGIFridays? Here is to another 14 years of fun memories! LOVE YOU! 

ONE more funny pet pic!

This happens to be a picture of the greatest dog that ever lived! Jake! My niece K took this pic when she was about 9 years old. Its one of my favorite pictures of Jake. I got him for my 15th birthday. He was half springer spaniel half lab. He had a nubby tail and the best personality ever! He used to open and close the back door to let himself in and out, turn on the outside sink faucet to get himself a drink, and help himself to 24 boxes (toy surprises and all) of Cracker Jacks caramel popcorn snacks! He LOVED chasing rabbits. He only caught one. One night he went into everyones closet, took out one shoe of each pair and played with it in the hall. When I woke up the next morning, the hall way and living room were littered with chewed shoes! That day, we went out and got him is own pair of steel toed boots. He stopped chewing all of our shoes, and stuck with his own pair. That pair lasted him quite a while, he chewed them down to the steel plate! Whats your funny or favorite pet story? 

A salute to funny pets!

I had to share some funny pet pictures with you all. This first picture (sorry its so bad! Im getting used to my scanner!) I find interesting for many reasons. #1, my cat thinks his water bowl is the toilet bowl. He doesnt jump up on hte rim like most cats. He stands on the floor and stretches up and over the rim, like a dog. What makes it funny is his feet constantly slip on the tile floor so hes always readjusting his stance. The second reason (or #2 if you prefer! LOL) is that the toilet he is drinking out of is the middle of the bedroom floor, instead of in the bathroom. My Dad was repairing the tiles in the bathroom around the bathtub so the toilet had to come out. It had a little water in the bottom when we stuck it in the bedroom to get it out of the way and naturally, Rajah found it, and drank it! He is a silly willy!

The second picture is K's cat Zacchieus Wee One Nyland Herman! This is Zac in her younger, pre-pooch days! You see after Zac got "fixed" she has a little tummy pooch that never went away. Its really cute! You really want to grab it, but thats not gonna happen! She was quite the athlete! She loved catching a jungle ball! You can kinda see how puffy her tail got!

I can not imagine my life without a pet! They bring sooooo much joy to my life! To those people who abuse defenseless animals, I hope you step on rusty nails and suffer terribly! I think as well as millions of dollars in fines they should be FORCED to clean the elephant poop at the zoo! And the Rhino poop, and the giraffe poop and especially the Lion poop! Lets see you abuse an animal that can take your head off with one swipe of a paw you jerk face doody head! Anyway, I am greatfull for everyday that I have my pets! Kiss yours today. IF you cant kiss it, blow it a kiss!
