Today I got this kinda silly email from my mother. One of those lists of things we all think but don’t say so it’s supposed to be funny. But then at the end it has that damn ‘send to so many people…’ I would never forward stuff like that! How the hell does that work anyway? What do you think happens? Here’s the email:

9 Things I Hate About Everyone

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say “Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. Damn right! What good is cake if you can’t eat it?

4. When people say “it’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they Gonna Kick their asses!

5.  When people say while watching a film “did you see that?”. No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6.  People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”.... Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

7.  When something is ‘new and improved!’ Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new.

8.  When people say “life is short”. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?

9.  When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks “Has the bus come yet?”. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

*** Forward this to at least 5 people and see what comes on your screen, you will laugh your head off!!!!!!! This works. I don’t know how…

We are running low on milk this morning. Really low. I did have enough for my coffee and cereal at least. But it reminded me…

When my brother and I were young and we were running low on milk we’d still get cereal for breakfast. However we were not aloud to drink the milk at the end. We had to save it so my mother could put it in her coffee.

Is that weird? That seems weird to me. And a bit gross. Heh.

I wonder what I will be doing? Hrm. I don’t know. You see, I managed to get myself into the doghouse during the mother-in-law visit. It happens every time, and always has for the last 9 years. And it doesn’t really matter what I do. I get in trouble if I stay at work too much. I get in trouble if I don’t visit.  I get in trouble if I want to stay home. I get in trouble if I get an attitude when we’re out. I get in trouble if I blog about it, I go insane if I don’t.

Last night I apparently came off as rude and bitchy when I gave her trouble about some food she ordered and then didn’t eat, but had everything else. It was no more bitchy than when MY mom was here and tried to print something from my computer and didn’t open the paper tray and caused this big ol’ jam. Boy did I give HER hell. I am clearly just a bitch.

So yeah. Don’t know what I’m doing… Gay Pride is going on, but it’ll be my last two days before I go to work at the new job, and I’d really like to spend it with my man. You know, do something special. Not exhaust myself running around drunk in the heat.

You ever hear of shopping therapy? Sounds nice, right? Well… not when you are trying to rebuild a whole new professional wardrobe after wearing shorts and tee shirts for the last 5 years. First of all, Richard would not let me shop alone. I thought it was because he wanted to curb my spending. I was wrong. He had me stacked up to my chin with dress shirts in minutes. All with “matching” ties. It turns out that mens fashion has changed a lot. That’s why he insisted on being there. I hadn’t noticed! I’ve been working in family casuals for way too long. I would never had thought to pick some of the things he put together. The last time I dressed up was back when Millionaire was big. It was all monochromatic shirt-tie combos with black pants. Or for me just a lot of black! I only managed to snag 1 black dress shirt this time, and no gray… I will need to shop quite a bit more now you know, to get caught up. I don’t want to over do it though. I to have lost a bit of weight from the stress I was under, and it’ll probably continue as Richard and I have days off together and get active again with roller blading, the gym, and stuff.

I am so excited about this change! I cannot even tell you. Life is good. I just have to survive the M.I.L. visit. Special thanks to Betty for agreeing to go along to the Zoo with us tomorrow… The more the merrier, right?

I disagree. I need more than patience today.

Yep, she’s on her way. As I type even. So today has been spent getting the house ready… not so many chores really, being that my parents were just here. Just little things that are annoying.

Speaking of annoying. Our Home Warranty expired. That was a magical thing that came with the house that made any and all repairs $45 dollars! Even plumbers, which I currently have a need for due to a botched toilet repair a month or so ago. After getting estimates from various San Diego area plumbers I found it was the same if not a bit cheaper to buy another year of Home Warranty, who will then send a plumber for $55 dollars… and any take care of any other problem for the rest of the year for $55. Obviously I renewed. So all you new homeowners can learn from my 2 hours on the phone.
