This Is What I Did Today

Did anybody else know that they make fake toenails?
Was I the last person on earth to know?
Because they do.
And now I finally have long, albeit fake, toenails!
So all you biotches from college can stop making fun of my non-toenails!!! LOL

Really?

So our electricity went out at work today.
NICE!
And as I was coming in from lunch to the sea of darkness that was my office, random claimant asks me in a relatively snotty tone, " And just when do you expect the lights to be back on?"
Seriously?
If I had the valuable talent of seeing the future, I wouldn't have to make a living as a glorified secretary, now would I? No, because I would have used my psychic abilities long ago to win the lotto!
Understand this, woman!

Updates

Nothing like a Monday off to recuperate after a busy (but great) weekend.
This weekend was jam packed full of activities. Friday, the cable guy came out and fixed our cable. I love him. LOVE HIM.
Saturday was our family reunion. My cheeks are still recovering.
Seriously, at what age do you outgrow the cheek pinch???
Saturday night was a bonfire/get together at Jeff and Tracy's house.
And yesterday was Sunday School followed by Amy's shower in Lufkin. It was exactly what I needed - haven't seen Amy in about a year, although we talk all the time. Sometimes a Sunday drive into East Texas and an afternoon with your BFF's are necessary!!! And there was no cheek pinching at the shower, which is a plus.
But my old ass had to take the day off today to do laundry, clean house, go grocery shopping and catch up on sleep.
And now we're having the bachelorette party countdown: 5 DAYS!!!! AWOOHOO!!!

COME BACK...and bring a tool kit

So the cable company came out to "fix" our cable yesterday.
We weren't getting our HD channels that Kevin so dearly loves. I personally can't tell the difference, but watching sports in HD leaves Kevin exclaiming, "It's like we're THERE!" everytime.
Whatever...
And now, after it's been "fixed," we have no cable at all in the living room. Nada.
While I understand that, in the grand scheme of things, this is not a major problem, it does upset me a bit to pay for a service that I'm no longer receiving.
Do me a favor, Time Warner, and don't "fix" anything else.

Picture Day

Today's picture day!!! I've had all of these pictures stored up on my camera, and I've been meaning to post them, so I'm doing it in bulk today :)


This is one of my absolute favorite pictures of Kevin and Traci from Ernie's surprise birthday party on Saturday night...

Space Center Houston

These are the pictures from our Space Center Houston trip a few weeks ago...it was so interesting!!!
The pictures are of mission control, old school rocket, Owen and Jay launching a mini-rocket, Kevin giving the Nanu Nanu, and then him "flying" in some virtual reality game. It was a good time :)

Bonfire Memorial

"The Spirit of Aggieland" - Beginning of the walkway that leads to the memorial

Some Recent Pics of Mo and Allie

OK, really they're recent pics of Allie...Mo thinks the camera makes him look pudgy, so he refuses to look at me when I'm taking the pictures :)

GROSS!

Creepy coworker just alerted me to the fact that I have lost weight "from my backside."
Now riddle me this, creepy coworker: Why in the world are you looking at my backside???
STOP IT!

The Apple

Went to Bible Study that focused on different perspectives on a woman's role in church. Very interesting.
Made for lots of fun conversation.
And of couse, it all went back to Eve.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: IT WAS AN APPLE, EVE! IT'S NOT LIKE THE SERPENT DANGLED A WHITE CHOCOLATE REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE! That, I might have been a little more likely to understand...
But no, instead we're forever cursed because you had to eat an apple. I hope it was worth it...

Here's Your Sign!

Kevin and I were sitting outside talking to random neighbor the other day, when we heard his 10-year-old son shout at another kid in the neighborhood, "I OUGHT TO PIMP SLAP YOU!"
I was initially taken aback. He's 10 for the love!
And then I heard neighbor exclaim, "Boy, where the f_ _ k did you learn that shit?" That's when it all began to make sense...

The Closet Pooper

Have I mentioned how irritating puppy can be???
She's smart - this I know because she already knows how to sit and shake hands, she instinctively picks up the handle end of her leash so as to avoid giving up control, and she stockpiles toys so the cats don't steal them from her.
But she REFUSES to use the bathroom outside at my house. Straight up refuses. She knows it's wrong, because she goes as far as to poop behind the curtains so as to hide it from me. And for that, there is no excuse. You know it's wrong. You know how to hide it. You should know how to go outside! DAMN!
So the other day, we had taken a "field trip" to my parents' house (where Alli evidently has more respect for belongings) and midway through the visit she looks at me, waddles to the door, SCRATCHES it and barks. She wants to go outside. What the hell is up with that?
SHE KNOWS!!!
So now my parents think I exaggerate about how hard she is to deal with, because at their house, she suddenly becomes the model for which all puppies should aspire to become.
Yet, as I write this, I can almost be certain that she's somewhere in the house, pooping and hiding it. And that pisses me off!

Check out the funniest thing I've ever read...

Howdy Neighbor

The thing I love most about my neighborhood is the fact that something's always going on.
Case in point: Neighbor Trey has recently moved out of his house because his wife was cheating on him with a Trey lookalike. This was obviously upsetting for Trey, who reached his breaking point yesterday and decided he was going to beat the hell out of his skanky replacement. Before going in to his house, however, Trey was courteous enough to warn us that he was about to go to jail.

Being the good neighbors that we are, neighbor Jason and I sat outside "talking," but really awaiting the impending drama.
Being that Trey's never one to let others down, it was exactly seven minutes before the cop car pulled up.
And being that this is the small town that I grew up in, I had of course gone to school with the policeman, who stopped to smile and wave at me prior to entering the house to arrest Trey.
Nope, never a dull moment...
