Blogger dropped one!

STOOOOOOOOOPID blogger dropped one! This beauty has a fun story. My Great Auntie Diddles came to visit us from Scotland. Her nickname is Diddles because they say she diddled death a number of times throughout her life. Anyway, she had always wanted to go to Disneyland, so we were happy to grant her that wish. I was the lucky sibling chosen to go right in the middle of the school year! While in Fantasyland my Mom spotted a Christmas shop and since she loved all things christmas, we headed right in. She spotted Angle Duck and bought her instantly! No, its not Donald or any other Disney Chatacter, its just a duck, an Angel Duck! She has adorned the top of our Christmas every year since I was in 8th grade! 

Its Christmas Time!

Its that time of year! I just LOVE this time of year! We have decked our halls and trimmed our tree! With my new digital camera, I have taken some picture of my favorite tree trinkets. The first picture is an ornament I got when I was 7. We used to go to a Fire House Xmas party that was put on by the volunteers wives. Our neighborhood fire house only had 2 full time paid firemen, the rest of the station was made up of volunteers, like my Daddy. For a while, the volunteers wives would put on a big xmas party with Santa, gifts & stuffed stockings, dinner & games. It was their way of thanking the volunteers. At the last Xmas party they had I got Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls and in my stocking amongst ooooddddllleees of candy was this cute little Angel ornament. Picture #2 is cute little thing I picked up last year. Her name is Cookie Doe. Can you tell what she is made up of? Take a close look. Picture #3 is me having fun. Can you guess what it is a picture of?

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Well today is the day we here in the USA give thanks for what we have. Its not a world wide holiday, but I think it should be. We need to be thankfull everyday, but its nice to pick one day a year and focus on it. Later today I will get the pleasure of gorging myself with turkey, stuffing, and the best part of Thankgiving dinner, dessert! I'll be having Sex-in-a-Pan! Its the best dessert ever! Take a minute today to say thank you to your friends, family, loved ones, cats, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

A small glimpse of what my Best Friend can do!

So, I was on Karins blog reading how she got the title "Chocolate Cars", which I already knew but thats my job! Any-whey she said she didnt have any pics on her computer of her amazing work! Well, being the totally cool person that I am, I HAVE ONE! Look how cool they are! I saw her make a red one and it looked really cool! She put an amazing amount of detail on each of them. So there you have it, one of Karins talents!

As for me, the job hunt continues. Im not looking for the first thing to drop into my lap. Im kind of holding out for something sort of good. So keep the good thoughts comming! Hopefully something will bite! I was offered an Executive position at my current job. They want to to take on GOBS more responsability for a mere $2 more per hour. It took everything I had to NOT burst out laughing in their face. Youd be proud, I was very professional and turned them down the next day. It wasnt easy though! I left that day, got into my car and BURST OUT LAUGHING! Sad really! Enjoy! 

An update on the dentist from HELL

Okay so a while back I told you guys about going to the dentist. The Dentist I went to is Dr. Moheb of Trancas Dental in Napa, CA. Supposedly, this destist has been in Napa for over 36 years. If this is true, I cant see how because they are the worst dentist Ive ever been too. They were pokin around in my mouth with a pointy metal thing and whenI jumped from pain, she said "hold still or Ill stab you" She also said to me "breathe through your nose your foggin up my mirror and I cant see" . I requested another shot of novicane and she gives it to me in the ROOF OF MY MOUTH!!!!! OOOUUUUCCHHHHHH!!!!!! I still have a scar. They screwed up my first set of impressions and I had to go to them, to find this out. My last trip to this dentist, I had to give them yet another $450! I was pissed!!! They told me that my insurance company denied my claim and didnt say why. I asked them if they resubmitted it and their response was, "We dont do that". I couldnt leave until I paid, so luckily I had a credit card with me that wasnt max'd out. So I paid & left pissed off!!!!!! I then went home, called my insurance company, and BITCHED BIG TIME! They told me I could file a grievance and the dentist would HAVE to cooperate with them. So I did. They received my grievance on OCtober 31, 2006. Today (November 9, 2006) I got a letter from my insurance company. They are paying me $385.50 and they are looking at the service complaint because apparently it's not the first one. So you see my fellow bloggers, it really does pay to BITCH in writing! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!

Guilt is a wonderful thing

If I could have taken a picture I would have. Dead batteries in the cam. Anyway, my niece K (the older one) got the surprise of a life time today. You see, she has only recently started to build a relationship with her biological father. I think its going on 3 years now. I believe they met around her 16th bday. Its been really weird for us because all we know is what my sister told us. Come to find out, she told everyone a different story so lord only knows what really happened. Any-whoo, I come home from hell today (aka: work) and my Mom tells me that K's Father has bought her a car, a white 2002 Dodge Neon. Its not loaded or anyting its a pretty basic model, 5 speed, manual windows & locks, etc. She doesnt care about the trimmings, but is THRILLED TO DEATH to have a pretty new car. She hated the other car she was abusing. Apparently her father said he wanted to show K how much she really does mean to him. He called up my Dad and talked to him about it. Funny huh, you'd think he would callmy sister and talk to her, but he was smart and called the level headed clear thinking one of the family. From what I was told, he broached the subject with his wife and she said "Dont you think you should talk to her mother first?" His reply "No, shes 18 and not living with her anymore" Good boy. No doubt if he has "asked" my sister for her permission she'd have said no just out of spite. She never has been one to think of the kids first. Sad part is they know that. Well congrats K! Its about time something good happened to you besides having the worlds coolest and bestest Auntie!
