....... [13 Sep 2006|12:27am] [ mood | cranky ] I called Jen tonight to find out what the schedule for the boys is going to be next week. I work everyday at the tile shop, so I really don't want to have them three days in a row, which is what I thought it was going to be. She thinks it's only two days, so hopefully her mom can take them for one day. That is, if she will still have them next week. While we were talking, so told me about how awful her day was because Fred called her and accused her of ruined him finacially. What? Would you please repeat that for me? Apparently when the bank called her house a couple of weeks ago, looking for money, Jen explained the situation to them. Going through a divorce, he's unemployed, but getting unemployment, getting some money from his dad to take care of the loans, and his account. Then last week the taking money out of her account and then freezing her account. Fred telling her that he was going to get the money from his dad, and get it all taken care of yesterday. Hey, big surprise...he didn't do a damn thing. So her account is still frozen, and it won't be unfrozen until the bank gets $15,000 dollars for the Exploder, and they added another $2,000 because they think he is driving it with no insurance. When the bank was talking to Jen about it, she told them that he is keeping up on the insurance payments on it, but they turned it around and said that she said he didn't have insurance on it. And the home equity loan needs to get caught up also before she can get to her money. She is supposed to meet him at the bank tomorrow morning to sign some papers about the loans, and then he wants to talk about some things. I bet you ten to one, he's going to tell her he wants custody of the boys, and she will have to pay him child support. Let's back track just a bit though. After she told me all of this, I lit into her. I told her that she needs to see her lawyer now before he takes her for everything and she doesn't even have a pot to piss in. So then she comes at me with the "How do you fall out of love with someone?" Are you fucking kidding me? I think he's given you several hundred reasons over the last four months to fall out of love with him. I don't understand how you can be in love with someone who shits on you. I just don't get it. "Well it's not that easy," she tells me. You are the one who is not making it easy. Let him go. You don't need that kind of crap in your life. And I told her that all his talk about her ruining him, is coming from the whore. That bitch could sell him ocean front property in Arizona, and he'd buy it hook, line, and sinker. Jen wants to wait and see what he has to say tomorrow, before she contacts her lawyer. Frankly, I think it's going to be to late. She should have been talking with the lawyer last week, and getting some kind of protection from him. She told me that she was going to do some serious thinking tonight...I hope she realizes she needs to get her head out of her ass. I didn't think about mentioning to her about Fred wanting the boys until after we hung up. I'm going to call her in the morning, and give her a heads up as to what I think he might say. I did tell her that if she needed some support, I could meet her at the bank. The only problem I might have is supressing the need to kick the living shit out of Fred. So if I don't post for a while, you can probably assume my ass is sitting in the slammer! ;-) Send bail money please! You know, part of the reason Jen doesn't want to let go, and this is just my opinion, is that she's had him in her life for so long, she's probably afraid of being alone. Why is it that when strong women have a man in their life that leaves them, they think they can't be on their own? Why do they feel that they have to have a man in their lives to validate themselves? I'm sure you can say the same for some guys too. There's a big hot air balloon festival in town this weekend. I'm looking forward to it very much. I plan on taking lots of pics! I need to go through my camera and do some erasing. I think most of them have been downloaded to my computer. I took some new ones on Saturday while I was watching the kids, and those have to be done. Final thoughts on N/T...quite a hot button topic of Scientology to be bringing into a story line...and do you think Christian is gay? Dicuss it amongst yourselves.... post comment

Bender...what's that? [12 Sep 2006|12:01am] [ mood | sick ] [ music | the sound of raindrops on the skylight ] I woke up yesterday morning, feeling like I had gone on one hell of a bender saturday night. It felt like the world was going to end, so I got DRUNK. The scary/sad thing was, I didn't have a lick of alcohol saturday. I have no clue what happened, but I could barely open my eyes, and every noise just made the brain throb even harder. I was freaking miserable. I got up and took 6 advil, and laid back down, in the hopes that the headache would go away. The extra sleep helped, but I still had a dull throb all day. The only thing I did that required some movement on my part, I went and feed Macy at the tile shop, and stopped at the parental units house to get some hamburger for dinner. I came home and laid back down, after taking 4 more advil. Proceeded to watch football, inbetween my mini-naps. I haven't gotten rid of it fully, but it's better today. I went to Jen's saturday night, oh what fun that was. I know I should be supportive, and I am, but I just want to smack her. When Fred dropped the boys off, they talked for 45 minutes. He told her again, that he is not coming back, and he wants the divorce. Then he starts getting into her shit about who gets what. Now all of the sudden he wants half the equity in the house. So she says "Okay, I'll work with you on this. I've never said "no" to you during all of this." Here Jen, let me go get you an idustrial size tube of KY Jelly, since you insist on taking it up the ass! Saturday while she was getting her tat, I tried to talk some sense in her, but it must have gone in one ear and out the other. Then she tells me that the whore wants the Stang. Fred has told her to buy it from Jen, but she doesn't want the payment. She'd rather not give it back to Jen, and then Fred can ask for it in the divorce settlement. I know that's what's going on, but Jen doesn't think he would do that to her. Well, he has already, and he will continue to do so, if she insists on being a doormat. And another thing....at some point in time Saturday, her dogs got loose, they have two goldens. She didn't even care enough to go looking for her dogs. That royally pissed me off. And they boys didn't care to go look for them either. You all know how I feel about animals and pets. So when I left, I looked for them, but didn't find them. I said a little prayer, in the hopes that the dogs stayed safe. They have a tendency to run off, and they always come back, but there will be a time when they won't. Work was work today. I had some guy call this morning looking for Jill. I thought she was having a root canal, so I told him I didn't think she would be in. Well, he wanted Mike to come out to his job site today and measure up his job, so they could get the tile ordered. Apparently he talked with Jill about this job over a year ago and now the home owner has decided he wants tile. Hey asshole. You might want to be a little nicer to me, I have to power to get your messages to the proper people in a timely manner, or somehow it could end up in the trash. You decide. And the stupid thing about this whole issue, he is going to install the tile. Well, we don't normally measure jobs we aren't going to do. Eric did call once, and Mike picked up the phone. So in a loud voice, I said, "Hi asshole". He called back two minutes later, and was more pleasant then he was last week. Well, I have the boys in the morning...so it's going to be a long day.... post comment

Jen gets tattooed! [09 Sep 2006|03:31pm] [ mood | blah ] Jen called me yesterday morning. She wanted to go get a tattoo and wanted to know were to go. Oy. I know she had been talking about getting one for a while. I just hope she didn't get it in the hopes that Fred will come back. The whore has tattoos also, and I'm afraid Jen wanted to get one just to prove she can be "like" the whore. So today after helping mom with the kids, I met her down at the place that re-did my shoulder tat. She ended up going with Wilma Flintstone with a sthethoscope wrapped around the neck, like a nurse wears. It's very cute, and she had it put on her left hip. Jim, the guy who did mine, didn't do hers. It was a new guy that they hired about a month ago. His name is John, and he's got a loverly English accent, and he's totally HOT!!!!! Typical though, he's married with a new baby. So anyway, in our conversation, she told me that since Fred has overdrawn his account to the tune of $700+, they have taken it out of her account, and froze her account. He claims he's talked with his dad, and his dad is going to give him some money to get out of this situation. Fred said that he would make sure the money got put back in her account. But she's not going to say anything to him about the $600 he borrowed from her in June. She doesn't think its a good time to mention it. I told her, that she is screwing herself by being so nice about it. And she says she knows it, but things are not all hunky-dory between Fred and the whore right now, and this is added stress that he doesn't need. To freaking bad. I told her that he was the one who has dug this hole that he finds himself in, and by her being nice, she's the one who ends up getting the worst of the deal. Fred called her this morning and was bitching about their oldest son, and how he's got an attitude. Jen told him that he is 11 and doesn't have the coping skills to deal with this. He is very angry at his dad, and he lets his dad know it. She also said that Fred knows she wants the Stang back, and she is going to talk to him about it tonight. Jen also told me that he told her, last night he sat through a 3 hour lecture from the whore about his lack of communication skills. And in Fred words, "they live like a bunch of fucking pigs." They don't do dishes, laundry sits around the house, they will walk around an open bag of garbage out in the yard, and not stop to clean it up. They boys have invited me up for dinner tonight and have a bonefire with them. So I will be heading up there in a while. And with that....I'm off to snooze just for a bit.... post comment

[08 Sep 2006|12:20am] [ music | Days Go By-Dirty Vegas ] Ah.... Back to my nightly updates.... You know what I find annoying? People who walk in the street, even though there is a perfectly fine sidewalk three feet away from them. That's why it's called a sidewalk, you walk along the side of the road. And even more annoying, when they walk side by side, not single file when a car is approaching them. You don't have the right of way in the road, so don't get all pissy if I pass you a little to close for your comfort. Walk on the damn sidewalk! I checked with Jen this morning on the status of the Stang. Still has not been given back to her. He hasn't said anything to her about bringing it back, and she's giving him until this weekend. Watch as Sara bangs her head against the wall...let's take bets as to how long before she passes out from the head banging!! Work was insane tonight!! I went back after dinner at 5 and there was only one case going. By 5:30 there were two appendectomies added on, along with a broken hip, fractured elbow, some wrist injury, and a broken leg!! They crews were on the last two cases of the night when I left. Jill didn't work today, she has an infected tooth, and was in major pain. I told her if she needed me, I could work for her tomorrow. I wouldn't mind the extra cash. Speaking of work, Brad quit his job that he started a week and a half ago, and wants his job back at the tile shop. Mike told him that he didn't think Jill was going to need him back, now that summer is over. We haven't seen or heard from him since. I'm not sure what crawled up Eric's ass, but he was a first class jerk to me today. He really pissed me off with his attitude. Normally his "I don't give a shit" attitude isn't bad, but something was bugging him today, and he took it out on me. Bite me assmunch. No more cookies for you. Saturday morning, I have to go over to mom's because she's going to have Baby Girl and Turk for a while. Bro and SIL are going to go look at light fixtures, and taking two kids would be a pain. I'm hoping I can have BG for most of the day, but it depends on what SIL has planned. Well, since it's been a long couple of days, I think it's time to retire and get some shut eye! post comment

[04 Sep 2006|09:37pm] [ mood | cheerful ] Eric called me last night, and we chatted for 15 minutes. He thanked me several times for the cookies. He really like the ones I made using a cake mix as the base. So I'm thinking that I can use other flavors, not just yellow. That might be on the agenda for next weekend. Today was a nice quiet day. I set my alarm for 8, but fell back asleep until 10:30. I guess staying up until 2 watching Cops wasn't such a good idea! I did go over to my parents this afternoon, but I didn't want to stay for dinner, they were having roast. Which I like, but I wasn't in the mood for it. I ended up coming home and having BLT's again. What I really wanted for dinner was polish sausage and saurkraut, so I stopped at Meijers and got the stuff to make it for dinner tomorrow. It's cooking in the crockpot as we speak. Talked to Jen tonight, and Fred moved in with the whore this past weekend. And apparently, there is already issues with the whore's oldest daughter. Fred has also made the comments that he wants to help Jen do some stuff around the house. Well, you can say all you want, but actions speak louder than words. She said she didn't know if she should take that as a sign...I told her not to....he's told her stuff before, and it's been found to be a line of bullshit. My plans for tomorrow include, sleeping in, getting some sun, probably taking a nap, doing some laundry, and the getting ready to watch the season premier of Nip/Tuck!!!! I know, I took the night off from work to watch a TV show. How sad...how really sad.... post comment

Amish Auction and Karaoke Party... [03 Sep 2006|02:11pm] [ mood | content ] [ music | The Outlaw Josse Wales ] I had a great day yesterday! Tom made it to my house by 8:30 and we had to stop and get gas, then we were on our way. Thankfully, when we got there, we started in the back, and worked out way to the front. I hadn't found anything that I really needed at first. I did pick up a sweatshirt for mom that has a snowman on it, with a cardinal sitting on his shoulder, and it says, "Winter is for the birds". Mom hates wintertime. Then I saw it. It was a queen size furry velour-like blanket, with a huge sun in the center, and stars and moons floating around it. It's the same dark blue color that is in my room, and of course, the celestial theme! So I bought it. It's so awesome! I slept with it last night on the sofa! Kept me nice and toasty...well I had several felines with me. Oh, I also found this guy who takes glass blocks, and paints them, then puts some christmas lights in, and it's a night light! I picked one up for Bro with the Michigan State Sparty on it. Mom will be the one to give it to him for christmas though. We wandered around for a couple of hours and then headed back to my place. After Tom left, I laid down and took a two hour nap, before I had to get ready for the party. Since I had spent my beer money on my blanket, I had decided that I wasn't going to stay the night. We got to the party about 6:30, and Tracy's boyfriend was having trouble getting his pop-up camper, to pop-up. It ended up that something came off track. So he was in a crabby mood the rest of the night. I don't like her boyfriend. He really seems to be quite the asshole. Just little things I saw him say or do to her. Then, at one point, her mom corners me and tells me I need to talk to her, and get her out of that relationship. I told her I would talk to Tracy, but I wasn't making any promises. So the food was good. Sharon, one of the guests, was dutch oven cooking lasagna. So as I was walking out the door, she handed me a bowl and asked if I would like some. I said yes, because it was lasagna. Then, after it's in my hand, she tells me it's made with ground moose and moose sausage. Since I already had it in my hand, I really couldn't give it back. I have to say, it was very good. I never would have guessed it was moose, if I wouldn't have been told. After dinner, the fire was burning bright, and the karaoke started. What fun! I don't karaoke, but we had some good songs sung last night. Jeff, did his William Hung version of "She Bangs", with an asian accent. I was so mad at myself for fogetting my camera. I stuck around until after 11, then headed home. I had to get to Meijers to get some stuff to make Eric his cookies today. Which I got done not to long ago. I found a recipe that uses a yellow cake mix to make cookies. So I used that and my chocolate raspberry chips to make cookies. I also bought chocolate peanut butter swirled chips and made cookies with those too. So with that, I'm off to drop them off to him, and give some to mom and dad. Then I will probably come home and get some dinner ready. Not sure what I'm going to do tomorrow. Probably head over to mom and dad's, I'm sure they will have some sort of cookout. That's it for now!!! Have a safe weekend! post comment

[01 Sep 2006|12:24am] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Dreams of Our Fathers- Dave Matthews Band ] I need some input from you guys. I'm not sure how to take something that happened at work today. Chad and I had gotten back from our ambulatory run, and he said to me, Ask Jeanette about what happened today. I'm thinking there's more gossip going on about Becky and Justin. I get to the basement, and Chad has followed me there. So I ask Jeanette to fill me in on what happened today. She tells me, that she saw Chad's penis. Now, you have to understand, it seems that whenever Chad is around, the conversation some how gets steered towards his penis. He's always bragging about how big he is, that a woman never goes away unsatisifed from him...that sort of talk. At first, I don't believe either of them, that's some serious sexual harrassment issues. But they kept on talking about, again, how big he is, how thick it is, and he kept asking her if she could handle it. At some point, he starts asking me how I feel about it, if it's big enough for me. So I play along telling him yeah, sounds like your just right...blah blah blah. This went on for 10 minutes, and I had to start pulling my order, so they went out for a smoke. Jeanette came back 10 minutes later, and tells me that Chad begged her to go along with his little story. He specifically asked her to tell me how big his penis is. I asked her if she really saw it, and she said no, he just wants to make sure I know how big he is. Why? We have a couple of theories, but I would like to get some input from you guys. So let me know! On to other things. I slept pretty good last night. The weather is so wonderful at night now, in the upper 50's to lower 60's. I love having my windows open to listen to the night sounds. Eric was at the tile shop first thing this morning. And he was pissed. I know, it seems the dude is always pissed. Anyway, he told his employee, Brandon, that they might have to work a few hours saturday morning to get caught up. Well, Brandon has to hang pictures in his house with his new wife, so he can't work. It seems that the new wife plans everything out, and there is no time for work. First of all, how many pictures do you have, and do it friday night, or saturday afternoon. So Eric is going to start cutting Brandon's hours. At least that's what he says he's going to do. Maybe after he gets more cookies from me this weekend, he won't be so ornery. Yes, I told him I would make him more cookies this weekend, if he behaved himself when another contractor came into the store. Eric doesn't like the guy, and I was afraid he would say something to piss the other guy off. He was good. Haven't they always said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? ;-) 1 comment|post comment

Unfreakingbelieveable!! [29 Aug 2006|12:10am] [ mood | frustrated ] [ music | Weapon of Choice-Fatboy Slim ] I was absolutely stunned tonight when I was talking to Jen about things. I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall when it comes to this situation. She paged me tonight to make sure I was going to help with the boys in the morning. I asked her how she was doing, and I got the standard "as good as I can knowing my husband is moving in with the whore. I've been crying off and on all day today." Then she tells me that he was supposed to stay for a couple of hours last night after he brought the boys home, so they could have sex. What the hell are you thinking? He didn't stay because when he brought the boys home, he had the whore with him. What the hell? Then she starts telling me, that sometime in May, Mike, the whore's husband, approached Fred about sleeping with the whore. Apparently he contracted Herpes from his little one night stand, and since he couldn't fuck the whore, Fred should do it for him. I literally was unable to say a word. According to what Fred told Jen, the whore got checked out and is clean. My mind was saying, so freaking what? That's what she says, but I would want to see some written proof from the doctor. Not that that would make it okay to sleep with her, but just don't take her's and Fred's word. He's lied to you about things before, why would he be honest about this? Then she tells me that she really doesn't think Fred would put her at risk, and is sure that he wore a condom when he was sleeping with her. Are you fucking kidding me? How the hell can you say that? He obviously doesn't care about your feelings, why would your health be any different? Her problem is that she is trying to still maintain a friendship with him, and it's not working out. He does his nicey nicey talking to her, it makes her think that there is still some hope of getting back together. She says she feels that she is the only "normal" lifeline that he has left, and if she breaks that off, he's going to fall into the black hole that is the whore and never be able to comeback. Well, he's already made that choice, you need to let it go, and start focusing on not getting screwed in the divorce. A couple of my friends at work told me that she can go to court, and make it so that the whore is not around when Fred has the boys. My friend had a good point, do you think it's healthy for the boys to see what their dad has done to their mom, and the company he's keeping now? If it's okay for dad to do it, then they will think it's okay for them to do it when they get older. Fred's dad did it to his mom, so he's just repeating the pattern. But according to Jen, his mothers circumstances are totally different than hers. Maybe I'm just a hard core cynical bitch when it comes to guys, but I would not tolerate the situation at all. I don't care how long you are with someone, you break my trust in you, and you are gone. Sorry for the rant...but that's what a diary is for! I've got a busy couple of days coming up, so I should get to bed... post comment

Going with The Gavin [27 Aug 2006|09:37pm] [ mood | cheerful ] I went shopping this afternoon. I have decided on The Gavin, in a very pretty gold color. Since the bedroom is blues and golds sun moons and stars, it will go slpendidly! And the size is perfect. Oh, and it's a rocker/recliner. Yeah! The other two are actually to wide to fit into the space. Now I have to save the money for it. With the fabric guard on it, it's going to be around $650 dollars. So mom has to weigh in on the subject, she thinks that a new chair is a better "investment" than TiVo. Which she's right, but I'm not going to admit that to her! :-) Other than that...today was a quiet day. I was chatting with Tracy tonight online. This Saturday is the "Just for the Hell of it" bonfire and karaoke party at her friends dad's house. Yeah! I'm going! Tracy said I need to bring a dish to pass...so I'm going to make my cottage cheese veggie dip and some celery sticks. And it's byob...plus, Tom, lets anyone crash in his house, or out in his yard with campers or tents. I didn't think about while I was talking with Tracy, but she has a tent, I'll see if she will bring it and set it up for me. Or, her boyfriend is going to have his camper there, if there's room, I will crash in there. How funny...I said the other day that my weekend is going to be quiet...and it's already filling up with things to do! I need to take a shower and get my last load of laundry done..... post comment

Foul day.... [26 Aug 2006|10:54pm] [ mood | bitchy ] [ music | Don't Stop Believing- Journey ] Have you ever gotten up in the morning, and you just know it's going to be a crappy day and you are going to be in a foul mood? That was my day today. Everything annoyed me today. People on the road, people in the stores. I was a walking fireball. Thankfully, Jen didn't call and want me to come up and hang with her. I seriously wouldn't have been a crabass. After I got home from work, I discovered that someone had pissed on my freshly washed towels. I had them up on the shelf in the bathroom, and someone pulled them off and they peed all over them. Hence, I did a load of towels again. I also have had a certain cat hiding in my furnace ducts for the last four days. I got home from work Wednesday night finding a register cover pulled up. At first I didn't notice that Boo was "missing" but last night when I got home from work, the register cover in the bathroom was moved. So I put out some food, hoping that she would come out, and she did, but I was sleeping. Figures. When I got home this afternoon, she was out, but I didn't have a chance to get back into the bathroom and replace the cover, and she went back down. Pissed me off even more than what I was. There I was, yelling into my register about how I didn't care if she stayed down there forever...basically I broke down. Thankfully, I just went back into the room and she has come up, and I got the cover replaced, and she's now hiding under the bed. And I have something heavy on each register, so that she can't go under again. Sorry about that little intermission. "Rock Star" by N.E.R.D. came on the old iPod, so it was dancing time! I did some cleaning this afternoon also. I had an old chair in my bedroom, that was falling apart. The foam in the seat was disolving, and the fabric was coming off the frame. So I put the old guy out to pasture. I would love to get a chaise lounge to replace it, but that might take up to much space. A recliner would be the better route since space is an issue. I found three on the La-Z-Boy website that I'm digging. In fact this is The Devon I would change the fabric for sure! Something blue... This it The Gavin and let me tell you...very comfy! This is the chair that is in the Doctors Lounge at the hospital. My butt has been planted in that chair on many occasions. I wouldn't want it in leather though. Finally, The Quest again, I would change the fabric. Thoughts? Comments? I think mom and I are going to go do some browsing tomorrow afternoon! Ciao for now! post comment

First day with the boys [25 Aug 2006|11:44pm] Today didn't go to bad at all with the boys. I guess I need to back up a bit though.... Last night after I signed off and headed to bed, someone had puked up a hairball on my bed. Right where I normally lay. Nice, thanks guys, I really wanted to clean up a hairball at midnight! Oh, and it wasn't just any hairball...it had happened earlier enough in the night, to soak thru to my mattress. The night just keeps getting better! So after stripping the bed, and cleaning the mattress, it was after 12:30 when I finally crashed on the sofa. Needless to say, 5:45am came pretty quick in my book. The boys played with the cats, and watched TV while I took a shower and got ready for work. I got them both to school with no issues, then it was off to work. Jill kind of pissed me off today about something. I know, if you can't remeber what it is that pissed you off, you should be over it. And I am, I was just going to tell you about it. She said I didn't date a PO for a customer, when in fact, I didn't even write up the order. Anyway, I'm going to be looking forward to my long weekend over the Labor Day holiday. Four days off with only one thing I have planned! Saturday morning Tom and I are going to the Amish auction! Very excited about that! I know I don't need anymore candles, so I think incense and kettle corn will be on my purchases list. Other than that, I have nothing to do but sleep in, take naps, and make and solve puzzles. Speaking of puzzles, here's the link to the puzzle maker. So if you go [Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<a [...] http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/wordsearchsetupform.html">') in entry.

Speaking of puzzles, here's the link to the puzzle maker. So if you go <a href="<a href="http://puzzlemaker.school.discovery.com/WordSearchSetupForm.html">here</a> you can make your own puzzles! I'm hip to any kind of entertainment! One of my reads over at DLand mentioned <a href="http://pandora.com">Pandora</a> a while ago, and it's awesome! I love my iTunes, and my WDMB station, but sometimes it's nice to have other music to listen to that's not your own. Go check it out if your looking for a cool way to hear new music! I'm working tomorrow morning, then probably coming home to finish cleaning the house. Yes, I know, boring. I'm not sure if the Tigers are playing, if they are, I'll have that on. Probably going to grill some burgers for dinner, and just veg. I talked with Jen tonight, she had a bad day, so I told him I would come hang with her after she got out of work if she wanted. So that's basically what's going on. Same ole stuff, different week! It's off to veg a bit for me! post comment

helping out with the boys... [24 Aug 2006|11:57pm] [ mood | cranky ] Yeah.... I talked with Jen last night, she told me I didn't have to help with the boys, their dad was going to get them to school on the days Jen works. Okay, cool, I'm down with that. She pages me tonight, Fred can't do it, he just doesn't have the gas and the money to put the gas in the Exploder. Which I think is bullshit. Jen told me that the boys don't think their dad loves them as much as he loves the whore and her kids. He also pawns the boys off to whomever will watch them, when he is supposed to be spending time with them. That's just shitty on his part. Jen wanted to talk to him about it Tuesday night when he brought them home, and he knew it, so he just dropped the boys off at home and headed back to the boat, leaving a voicemail on her cell. What an ass. Jen did say they talked about it tonight, but big deal. He also told her, that he loves the whore, and loves spending time with her and is probably going to be moving in with her. Well, if she's with him because she thinks he's got money, that's not even close. Jen said that he is struggling to make the house payment, and the Exploder payment, and isn't even going to touch the credit card bills. Which is in the 5 digits. He's got both his boats for sale, and I'm afraid that Jen is going to get screwed if he sells them. She already lost half of his retirement becuase he cashed it out. She has got to start thinking about hers and the boys welfare, because he is going to screw her royally. She needs to get those damn thoughts of, "he's coming back" out of her head. She was lucky enough to be able to afford leasing a new car yesterday, but if she doesn't start cutting herself away from him and his financial issues, she's going to go down with him. Can you tell I'm a bit frustrated with the whole situation? I probably shouldn't get myself worked up, but it pisses me off, to see my best friend of 20 years getting screwed over. I asked her last night if she hated the whore. She said that no, she didn't, she doesn't have any hate in her. How can you not hate the person who has helped tear your marriage apart? Who wouldn't want to see a person like the whore, suddenly getting fat, losing all her teeth, and going bald? You get my drift. I know, Karma is a bitch and will come back and bite you in the ass three times harder than what you sent out, but I'd really like to see the whore get hers right now! Okay...onward. The boys are coming over tomorrow morning at 6am!!!!!!!!! It probably wouldn't be so bad if I could come home after taking them to school and go to bed, but I have to work! I think what I might try to do, is on the days I have to take the boys, try to get those days off from the tile shop, or at least only work until noon. That gives me time to come home and grab an hour snooze. Then I will have them next tuesday and wednesday. Chaos at the tile shop today too! Eric called this morning, stating he didn't have his Captain's Blue grout for this backsplash he's working on. After some digging, I discover it was never ordered, that last time we ordered that color was in 2004! Yikes! Anyways, he was bitching on the phone about who didn't order the grout....typical Eric stuff. We were able to go over to out distrubutors and grab the last bag they had over there. I don't know how it turned out, but I'm sure I'll find out tomorrow! The house that he is working on, is going to be featured in the autumn "Parade of Homes" coming up in September. It is a very modern contemporary house, and I will take pics when I go to it and show you the awesome tile work of Eric! Speaking of photos, I'm thinking I might start a photoblog. I love to take pics, and since I have my camera, I'm thinking what the hell? Acutally, it's just something that I don't really need to do, I have so many other things I do on the net, it isn't funny. Yesterday, I discovered a site that you can build your own word search puzzles. Shot me now. I spent all morning making puzzles. I have a couple more I want to make, but tonight is not going to be the night to do it. Seeing as how I have to be up in less then 6 hours now, I think it's time to go to bed! Ciao! post comment

[23 Aug 2006|12:04am] I don't really have time for a full update tonight. I got home and Tom had left me an IM, he had some gossip he wanted to share with me, so I called him and we chatted for a bit. So that cut into my updating time, since I want to watch Miami Ink at midnight. I have tomorrow off from the tile shop, if the weather is good, I plan on getting some sun in the morning. I called Bro today, if he has time, he wants to stop by and check out my music that I have. If there's anything he wants, we'll make copies for his iPod. School starts tomorrow, and I have a call into Jen about helping out with getting the boys to school. 2-3 days a week I will have to help her, since she works days, and has to be to work by 7am. They don't go to school in the town they live in either, they come into my town. That's why she needs help, otherwise, they would just ride the bus! Later Gators! post comment

[21 Aug 2006|11:59pm] [ mood | sleepy ] Today at work, I was able to give the big "FUCK YOU" to Mr. Shithead. I had a customer come in, and she was asking me questions left and right about things. What do most people do? How would this look? Does it look cheap? You get the drift. After all was said and done, she told me I was a nice girl for being so honest with her and helping her out. Ha! Stick that up your anal retentive ass Mr. Shithead! In other news, my first phone call this morning was from Eric. "Yummy yums" were his words to describe my cookies. He said they tasted like they were fresh out of the oven. When I had dropped them off, I hung them on his back door, which was in the sun for part of the day. He also said that he sat down and ate them all. To which I replied, that's what you're supposed to do. He said that he ate them all in one sitting! Oh. Then he asked me what time I was there, and I told him, he didn't get done with work until around 4. We chatting about the wedding that he went to saturday, and how he was hoping for some good food to eat, and they served finger foods. So of course, I had to mention my steak grilling and how tasty that was! Then he was telling me that he had gone to Brandon's parents house friday (that's who got married and that's where the wedding was at,) to give Brandon his gift. He and his bride were leaving sunday morning to head out to California for the honeymoon, and Eric wanted to make sure he had a chance to open their gift. Which happened to be four Benjamins as some extra spending cash. Apparently Brandon was very excited and happy and thankful for such a generous gift, but his bride looked at it and went, "Eh, that's nice", and turned around and walked away. Bitch, someone just gave you $400 bucks for your wedding and you can't even thank him? Eric said he was pissed, and I'm sure he was. I would be too! Eric found out later that she was upset with him for making Brandon work 4 hours in the morning on friday. So Eric told me today that when Brandon comes back from his honeymoon, he better have his head out of his ass, or he's going to let him go. He's been working for Eric for over three years now, he should have some initiative when it comes to tiling. I talked with Jen last night, her dinner date with CB went good. They did a lot of talking, and she made the comment to me that they didn't have a whole lot of common interests. CB likes to bowl, play golf and softball, and she doesn't do anything like that. Well, just because he does it, doesn't mean it's something you have to start doing too. If it's something that you have a slight interest in, explore it, and if you like it cool, if not nothing lost. But they are going to go out again when their schedules work, so we shall see. Even if she makes a new friend out of it, I think it will be good for her. Wow, done before midnight, and I'm pooped so I'm off to bed! post comment

Another Baby Girl kind of day... [20 Aug 2006|07:17pm] [ mood | accomplished ] I spent a wonderful day yesterday with Baby Girl. I picked her up at SIL's job at 9am and we headed to the World of Wally, I needed some stuff. So this is her new thing that she does. If she sees something as you are walking by, she holds up her hand and says, "Hold it! I see something back there that I need to look at Anti Sara." Yesterday it was some SpongeBob bubbles that she got me to buy for her. It really was okay, they were only two bucks. After that, we swung by mom and dad's, I wanted mom to go to Warmbier Farms with us, but they were still doing their running. BG and I hit the gas station, and she conned me out of buying her a bag of MnM's. She really did twist my arm!! Headed back to mom's and was able to replace my wiper blade before the rain started. They got home a few minutes later, and we loaded BG back in the car and headed to Warmbier's. They are starting to get all their Halloween stuff out and I found a cool new sign that I have on my door. It says, "the Witch is in". How awesome is that? I think what I'm going to do is when I am home, I'm going to hang in on my door so that people will know I'm here for sure. After spending 30 minutes there, we went back to mom's to have lunch, and then BG and I came home around 1. Her nap time is usually 2, so we went in and cuddled on my bed, until she fell asleep. The best part of that, Lucifer and Onyx curled up next to her and slept by her side. Sadly, it was only a 45 minute nap. But that turned out to be an okay thing. I talked to Jen in the afternoon, and she didn't want to go out last night like we planned. Thank you! I didn't want to either. It sounds like she had quite the night friday. She went out with a couple of friends from work, and didn't get home until 3am! She also saw CB, and hung out with him for a bit, she even got him out on the dance floor!!! He's not big on dancing! Oh yeah, and they should be having dinner right now at Benningans! I told her I was going to be sitting at the bar, watching them, but I was just messing with her head! But anyway, I digress. I called SIL at one point, and she had to work until 6 instead of 5, which was no big deal. For the rest of the afternoon, BG and I played until it was time to go meet SIL. After that, I went and got some groceries for dinner, and to make Eric his cookies. I grilled a steak and an ear of corn on the grill, and it was divine! Then later in the evening, I made oatmeal toffee cookies. I must say, they turned out pretty darn good for never having made them before. This morning I got up, and headed to Bay City to have breakfast with Tom. We went to the flea market over there first, there was a lady selling incenses, and I wanted to get some. So I picked up Booty Call(lets see if it really works!!), frankincense & myrrh, sage, lavender, and sun moon and stars. After that, we had breakfast, and took him home around noon, and headed back to town. I stopped at Eric's house, and dropped off his cookies. He told me he was working today, so I thought a little surprise would be nice when he got home. I haven't heard from him yet, so I'm not sure if he's even been home. I had some cookies to give to mom and dad, so I made a pit stop there. Mom, being the shithead that she is, was making Grandma chicken. At first she said she was just making it to have for dinner. But later she admitted to making it just so I would stay for dinner! And it's so true. I can't pass up Grandma chicken. Got home not to long ago, and now with finishing this up, it's time to get in my jammers, and get ready to watch some Colts football! 1 comment|post comment

Mr. Shithead [19 Aug 2006|12:15am] [ mood | moody ] I had to work today, this was my first customer exchange of the day... Sara: Can I help you? Mr. Shithead: goewhtlewtjeifgsdgf? S: I'm sorry? I swear, I had no clue what the hell he said. Mr. SH: Is Mike here today? S: No, I'm sorry, he's off today, is there something I can help you with? Mr. SH: I'm Mr. Shithead, and I'm here to get my swtichplate covers, and pay my bill. *I grab the file and dig out his paperwork, look at it to make sure the switchplate covers are in, they are, so I head to the back room the get them. Find them bring them out, and hand them to him and say,"Here you go."* Get the paperwork again, to see if the covers had been added to the original invoice, they hadn't, and in the mean time he shows me his statement. S: Okay, that' will be $430.35. Mr. SH: Here's my check *handing it to me. I take it, and go to the kitchen to write up a receipt for him showing he paid his balance. He follows to see what I'm doing, which is one of my pet pevees, and as I'm walking back to the desk he says,"I wasn't sure if you needed this" referring to the statement. S: Nope, that's your copy to keep. Mr. SH: You don't seem to want to be at work today. S: Oh, it's just been a long week. Mr. SH: Well, with you working with the public you need to be more personable. You need to be a little more friendlier.*Shaking his head at me* I stopped what I was doing, and gave him the "Oh no you didn't just go there look." I stapled his receipt with his statement, gave it to him, told him, "here you go, and have a nice day," then turned to do something on the computer, for fear of reaching accross the desk and bitch slapping the motherfucker. What would possess someone to say that to another person? I wasn't curt or bitchy with him at all. Apparently I was suppose to drop on my knees and give the asshole a blowjob for bringing in his measely four hundred bucks. So when Jill came in, I told her the story, and she laughed, thought it was freaking hilarious. Which it is, because he's such an wanker. She said she knew he was going to be trouble from the day he walked in. And he was. He got bent because the decos that he ordered for his job came in wrong. We got new one shipped direct to us, we had them in a day, and his job was completed on time. Apparently he called and bitched at Jill when that happened, getting on his high horse saying that there is "a serious lack of communication between the staff at the store." He obviously is over-compenstaing his assholiness because he has a tiny dick. Eric call a bit after this happened, and I told him about it. He wanted to know who it was, and I asked him if he was going to kick the guy's ass for me. He said no, but he sure would like to tell him to go fuck himself. Awww..he likes me...lol Of course later, Eric came in, and that was the big joke of the day, how un-personable I am. How I really need to work on those skills. And some how it worked into working on my oral skills...and I'll just leave it at that! Busy day tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can go to bed now without any issues from the felines. Wish me luck! post comment

TiVo for me... [17 Aug 2006|12:15am] [ mood | chipper ] So with all my budgeting that I have going on, I figured I would have a nice chunk of change for Christmas gifts. I've also talked with mom about it, and I told her that we should focus on the kids, that's more important. And she agreed, but she wants to get us something small. Which is fine, I'm thinking, get something nice for Bro and SIL, and mom and dad, like a gift card for dinner out and movie passes or something. Nothing to outrageous. Which leaves me with Jen and the boys, 5 people at work, and Chris. On average, if I spend $25-$30 dollars per gift, that leaves me with a nice little bundle of joy to spend on me. And currently, what shiny sparkly new thing I'm looking at is TiVo. That will still leave with money for my birthday trip next year also. You know, I've got to tell you, budgeting is a good thing! Of course, I am a woman, and I have the option to change my mind, so be prepared! I do have a tendency to talk myself out of things. I had the TV on the other night watching Harry Potter on ABC family, and they showed a clip for a new show this fall called "Brothers and Sisters". To be on Thursdays this fall after Grey's Anatomy. What the hell? Why does ABC do that? When Alias was on Sunday nights I watched it faithfully, but then they moved it to a weeknight. Hello you morons, I work afternoons!! And I bet you, they are going to put it opposite of CSI. Which I will watch CSI over anything. Damn television people. Well, Kirbs is way better. I looked at his paw again today, and near the front of one of his pawpads, was a little scab. So he got scratched or stepped on something. He was running around chasing Karma today, so he is on the road to recovery. I got called into the tile shop yesterday, for reasons I'm not going to get into right now. Suffice it to say, Eric was there, and at one point, he was standing on the other side of my desk, with a measuring tape that he kept extending out and would poke me with it. I asked him if he was over compensation for something, and he thought that was pretty funny. After about 5 minutes of poking, I told him that if he was going to continue, he better get out the real thing and make it worth my time. Being the modest guy that he is, he said he would have to sit on my lap to get close enough for me to feel anything. Okay, please, sit on my lap. You don't have to ask me twice!! Since I told him I would make him cookies, I think I'm going to have time to do it on Sunday. So a little trip out to his place might have to take place.... post comment

Kirby and fair fun! [15 Aug 2006|12:16am] [ mood | anxious ] I have an injured feline. I came home from the tile shop this afternoon, and noticed the Kirbinator limping. He's babying is right front paw. I grabbed him and took him into the bedroom and did a preliminary exam on him. I didn't feel where anything was broken, he didn't meow or anything when I checking him out. Which was a good sign I think. He let me look at his paw, and I didn't see where anything was cut, scratched or anything like that. Nothing looked swollen either. Mom thinks that maybe he bruised something. If he was playing a little to rough with one of the other cats, or if he jumped down from somewhere and didn't land correctly. Sometimes he will walk on it for a bit, and other times he won't even put it on the ground. Thankfully I don't have to work tomorrow, so I'm going to watch him like a hawk to see if there is any improvement. Keep your fingers crossed that there is. Went to the fair last night with Bro and the family. Fun!! There wasn't much up in the way of rides, but Baby Girl did get to rid a pony, and she loved it! Silly me forgot my camera, to record it! Chowed down an elephant ear, and did get a cinnamon roll to go, and I'm kicking myself in the butt for not getting two! There's always a possibility of going back in the morning. If you get there before 10 you don't have to pay to park. See, the problem is, I'm craving something sweet right now..and there's nothing sweet in the house. As we were coming back to my house last night SIL made mention that she is working this weekend, and would I be available to watch BG on saturday. Well, hell yeah, I'll be free. I was supposed to work, but I figured I'd get Mike to cover me. He's moving his daughter back to college this weekend, and can't. I asked Jill if she could take it, and she's getting a facial done in the morning. Well, sorry, what would happen if I called in? You'd have to forgo your facial. But Brad came in, and she didn't care if I gave it to him, so he's working it. I talked to a guy at the hospital today about being on call thing. You get paid $22.50 during the week, and $45 dollars a weekend day to carry it, and if you get a call to make a run, it's time and a half of your base salary. He said that one week he worked, he make an extra thousand dollars. That's some heavy cash. Like mom said though, I have alot of things that I do on the weekends, I would have to give that stuff up, if I'm on call. So I don't know, I have to think about it. Well, I've got some other felines that need some attention so I will go and give them some lovin too! post comment

Chainsaw in a tree... [12 Aug 2006|10:56pm] [ mood | calm ] I received a frantic call from mom today at work. "Sara, please come over after and help us get the chainsaw out of the tree. Your dad was cutting the branch and the saw got stuck. I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself." Yeah, sure, I'll come over and help. I pulled up the the house, and they are just standing there smoking cigarettes, waiting under the tree. I must say, my dad really knows how fuck things up. Instead of cutting some of the smaller branches off first, they just went for the jugular right off the bat. Well after 30 minutes of trying to pry it out of there, mom had the bright idea of calling Bro. Which she should have done long before I got called! But there was no way a damn tree was going to get the best of dad!! If there is a video of us trying to get the damn saw out, I'm sure it's pretty funny! So if you see it, don't be too harsh on me! I know I would have been recording something like that if I would have seen it! Finally Bro gets there, and within 5 minutes, has the branch down, and the saw rescued. Which was a life and death situation for dad. As soon as the saw was on the ground, he was preforming surgery on it, to make sure it still worked, while mom, Bro and I hauled the branches to the road. After that harrowing experience, I followed Bro out the build site, to see the house! Holy cow, I must say, it's huge. They only have the basement done, and that is roughly 1500 square feet. When they are done, it's going to be a little over 3000 square foot house. Damn! And the location is great also. Out in the middle of nowhere, the silence was awesome when we were there. After that, I came home, and have been vegging since. I talked with Jen, she doesn't want to go out until next saturday, so it's all good. Tomorrow it's supposed to be beautiful, so I plan on being in the sun most of the day, until it time to go to the fair with Bro and the family. Yeah, elephant ears, and cinnamon rolls here I come! Bro is afraid of another cinnamon roll incident like I had a few years ago. See, here's the thing. If I'm paying $4.50 for a roll, I want a decent sized one. Normally they are around 5-6 inches in diameter. The one that they were trying to give me was way smaller than that. Sorry, but that shit doesn't cut it, I want what I'm paying for. So I had a little "meltdown" according to Bro about a damn roll. Now I have to behave when I go out with them. Damn it! Well the beasties need watering, so I need to go do that, and head off to bed! post comment

No more drama in my life.... [12 Aug 2006|12:06am] [ mood | annoyed ] I talked with Jen tonight, she got home from her mini-vacation around 6. Her and the boys had a good time in Kentucky, at Cumberland something or other. I could tell that something was wrong, so I asked what was up, and she said she was lonely. And the person she wanted to fill that loneliness was Fred, but he's with the whore. She just can't get it in her head that he's not coming back. No matter how much she's wished/prayed, it's not happening. Of course, it didn't help that she SLEPT with him Monday night before she left for vacation. Seriously, if she would have been near me I would have slapped her. He had told her he would change the oil in the car before she left, so he did that, and she made dinner, and they had a really good time. Got up the next morning, and he headed back to the boat, and Jen followed, there were some things the boys needed off th boat. They all went out for breakfast, and then Jen took off. She said everything was nice, but the couple of times she talked to him while she was gone he was very cool towards her. She did say she regrets sleeping with him, and it's not going to happen again, and I hope so. She doesn't understand how he could do that, and then go back to the whore. Well, sorry honey, but you shouldn't have let him. But I know why she did. She figured that by sleeping with him, it will get him to come back to her. I think if she found someone, and gave them a chance, it would be easier on her, to let go of him. I know that it totally sucks when you are the dumpee with no one, while the dumper has someone. She made mention that she might want to go out tomorrow night. Which would be fine with me. I told her we could stay close, or hit Bay City, it made no difference to me. Other than that, things have been quiet today. I had a really hard time going into work this afternoon. When I got home from the tile shop, I was so wonderful taking my siesta with the weather being so awesome! I was laying in bed, thinking that I could stay there all afternoon! But I went into work, but Monday looks to be another great day...so don't be surprised if I'm home in the afternoon! It's been 18 months since I last called in...one day is not going to be a bad thing for me... On the agenda for tomorrow, Farmers market in the morning, then to work from 10-1, and then coming home to clean the house. Bro stopped to see me today, he wants to hook up, and do some music exchanges, so the family might come over Sunday and do dinner. Then we are going to the Fair! I'm so excited! We always go Sunday night, you don't have to pay to park, and we can see the animals without to many people around. Speaking of animals...tonight on my way home, I cruising along, listening to Alice Cooper, and I see something in my headlights, scurrying accross the road. It was a mouse. I think I was able to stradle it, I hope it made it accross before the car behind me hit it. Now I'm going to be worrying about a little mouse until tomorrow morning when I leave. If I don't see any roadkill where it was at, I'll be fine.... Well, I'm getting sleepy...so I think I will say peace out for now.... post comment
