Okay so I don't want to say I told you so...

But seriously folks... I told you so... I haven't blogged in weeks, so much has happened (and some of it I can't even Blog about yet it's so top secret) and all I want to do right now is bitch about my stupid selfish best friend who is refusing to come to the annual holiday gathering of our closest friends because she has to baby sit her girlfriends kids.

...I love her girlfriend, so don't take this the wrong way, but dude get a fucking sitter, this is kind of a big fucking deal and I can't believe that you have such a fucking NEED to be such a good person that you can miss gathering with the four other women that you went to college with that have been by your side through everything and then some and still have the nerve to tell me that I am being selfish. Okay... if this were something that happens on a weekly basis, or even a monthly thing I could see it, but we do the holidays once a year! Once a YEAR!!!! Get a fucking baby sitter stop being such a martyr and spend time with your friends... This is what makes people suck when they get into a relationship. They start ditching their friends, then they ditch their apartments to move in, then they move out of the city all together, then they can't even be bothered to come to the fucking Christmas party because they are sooo busy being the good partner that they forget how to be a good friend. When some says it's so important to me that you are there that I will drive an hour and a half in a fucking snow storm to get you, I think you should take the fucking hint. Get your head out of your ass.



I got into grad school. I think I posted a blurb... I honestly don't know... I just checked... I didn't...

I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL!!!!

In 16 months time I will have Masters in Management. The program is awesome, accelerated and very intense from what I hear. I am looking forward to getting back into school, homework and all those fun things... Plus it will keep me very busy.

As if I needed one more thing... the top secret thing... is great and crazy and insane, but I am soo excited about it I could pop. I told NH that he would have to keep the kids for two weeks and he looked at me like I was nuts.. I gave him plenty of advanced warning... LOL. He is going to pee when he finds out why....

So now that we have all that out of the way.. I also didn't get promoted... Again. This time they decided not to fill the position that I applied for. I am beginning to wonder if I have loser stamped on my forehead or something. I think that I rock, but I keep hearing that I am a bit too outspoken... What me outspoken? Really you have got to be serious! LOL.. I told my office mate the other day that I am not sure if I want to change for them... I like being know as gasoline (she gets it started) and I like knowing that others count on me to express myself when they are too afraid too... I also know that this keeps getting me under the bus... I am not sure what the compromise is for that I'll let you know when I figure it out...

I had the greatest cookies.. My office mate brought in these OREO COOKIE TREATS! that are to die for... recipe:

1 Package crushed Double Stuff Oreos (I mixed half regular and half mint)
1 and 3/4 stick of butter ( I didn't use that much, but that's the recipe)
1 Can sweetened condensed milk
1 bag mini chocolate chips

Mix butter and oreos and spread on the bottom of ungreased 11x13 pan. Freeze at least 30 minutes
Melt 2/3 chocolate in condensed milk, spread over frozen oreos, sprinkle with remaining chips and freeze until ready to serve.

SOOO GOOD!!!!

And save the best for last...

I got a Griswold #4 large logo cast Iron skillet for Christmas. She is so pretty, nearly glass smooth seasoning and she looks great... Cooks two eggs easy as pie and I am in love... WEEE!!!!

I think I have to go to bed... Work in the morning... Yay...

So Okay.. I am always late....

But really I am not. And I hate lateness... and I can not seem to manage to do a simple thing like blogging once a week...

So this week:
~I got a cold. Or the Flu. Or something. I have no idea, but I was sicker than death for three days. I'm better now.

~I seriously know some other things happened, but to be perfectly honest I can not remember for the life of me what.... I ran around all week at work, I didn't even get to spend one whole day in my office... Not very interesting... Umm I went to two different trainings, both interesting for different reasons.... One of them had condom commercials...from Europe...Ummm.... Really that is about it.

Sunday morning is now Monday Night...

And it has nothing to do with day-light savings time!



This week has been one fun thing after another:

~I spent the beginning part of the week freaking out about my life, buying a house and being 3,000 miles away from my partner. Always a good time and sure to be filled with crying jags, swearing and screaming. But I'm feeling much better now.

~CSJ got an ultrasound and so I spent the next few days being baby jealous. Also sure to be filled with crying jags, swearing and screaming. I know this is just getting more funny by the minute right...

~I spent three hours in the starbucks last night with a student and my boyfriend and I learned all about math, quadratics and sum and product formulas. It was not filled with crying jags or screaming. (For more info I am certain it will appear in Question 1, the only blog I am following, which is filled with crying jags, screaming and swearing about math.) However, there was a good bit of swearing on the part of the student and it was decided that I am the fastest pee-er in the east. "You've got that locked down" was the funny quote of the evening.

~I took the kids Trick or treating... E was Pippy Longstocking (she made the costume herself and I am really and truly very proud) and B was a ninja, complete with stuffed ninja chucks and mask he was SOOOOO cute. It was fun after I got finished being grumpy, getting gas for the car, losing a pack of cigarettes, finding a pack of cigarettes and being convinced I had lost my car on three occasions, but I didn't freak out about that.

~I got excluded from the V-team meeting. SHE is holding it on a day that I made very clear I can not make. AB says I really need to get over my issues... And while she is correct, I am stubborned.



I think that's all for this week. I know, I'm boring... But I have a ton of work to do and it's only Monday. Damn the day-light savings time, I'm tired earlier, so I can't stay up all night and think about the work that I'm not doing while watching a movie with MathMan.



Many blessings for the new year!

Thriller, V-day and Ch ch ch Changes

This Week...



~I had dinner with Jon and learned a lot, mainly this:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA8RZCL5jTE



Above is the link for what has got to be the funniest cool thing I have ever seen. Okay so maybe I don't get out much, but really I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you Mr Ginsberg!



~Auditions were this weekend and I felt like the copy girl, but... I am over that now. Yeah Right



~Jes and Vicky came up and had dinner with us. It was awesome and I miss them so much ( okay that wasn't even slightly sarcastic and totally serious. Sappy and you can vomit anytime. I miss my best friend A LOT! and I love seeing her). All I have to say is I'm a... I'm a ... Diva, except that I can't stop listening to the Britney song



~I got a raise, even though the economy sucks. And it's almost more than inflation... Wee! I know I should be grateful... but I work too hard.



~I went to the gyno and it went something like this:



Traffic on the Lab freeway is a little clogged today as construction crews are moving equipment for extensive tests. You will be caught up especially as you approach the CRVX exchange as gigantic beams are being ported in for reinforcement. And now for the weather... The forecast is looking sunny as the clouds are clearing and all systems have passed the area. Go out and play today folks!



~ And Finally... Since I can never have my cake and eat it too... We have decided to buy a house (YAY!) and in return he is going back to school (still YAY!) in California (that is where the Yay stops.) AB says I am a strong woman and I can handle it (after she says I shouldn't put his name on the mortgage just in case, thanks for the advice...). Long long year coming up as we move and then he goes. Probably 15 to 18 months... wee... I'm still processing so this probably isn't that funny either.



Next week is looking really boring so I'll do my best to bring you something to laugh about. I'll think about writing down the bidet duo :) you can not help but laugh at butt washing, this is America after all.

Now for some meat

Okay... I think a Blog should be funny and entertaining.

this week I...
...Walked my ex-girlfriend and her current girlfriend through a hideous miscommunication. I seem to be really good at dealing with these in other peoples live. Why can I not get over my own? It seems as though I can open my mouth and the wrong things fall out... It's as if the "dumb-ass" check on my brain doesn't work sometimes.

...Went out dancing ALONE. This is scandalous in my mind and should never happen, however, two can play the stubborned as a box of rocks game. At some point one of us will lose and it will probably be me, because lets face it folks I just can not keep it up for as long as some people, I just want sunshine and flowers in my life. Is that too much to ask for? And while we are on the topic of dancing, can I say that gay men as the BEST dance partners. They are so funny and cute and just flowing with good will that you can not even begin to feel self-conscious.

...I felt Micro-managed. I am a great worker, really. And if it were at work I might have a fit or something. As it is, it's for V-day so I am trying to be compassionate (which is my word for nice and not going 'Nam on someone).

...My own boss (at work) gave me an hour and a half worth of compliments. Some how I just don't trust bosses who give compliments. It's as if they are trying to set me up for some bad news. I guess we will find out.

Next week I have to go to the gyno so I am giving you all a warning. I hate THAT day and I wish that doctors would find better ways to check on the health of my not-reproducing reproductive system.

That's all I got...

Love and Light- djr

the first Sunday morning...

To Blog or not to blog.
That is the question.

And why not? Everyone else is doing it. Why shouldn't I, I'm funny, smart, a somewhat talented writer?

Here are the top three reasons I shouldn't Blog:

1.) This is bound to turn into my bitchfest about my boyfriend, kids, ex-husband, work or something else that has managed to (not that that's very difficult) piss me off

2.) I am terrible at keeping appointments, and Blog is something one must be religious about, or it's just not fun for the rest of the world anymore.

3.) I will run out of things to say. Sometimes my life is really boring.


Okay... really now, who am I kidding. I bitch about things in a pretty funny manner. If at anytime I offend you then I either did it on purpose, or I'm venting. In either case I mean no personal slights to occur.
I can set my Remember the Milk on Twitter to remind me to Blog (and I am pausing here to pull out my cell phone and send the message...)
And even though my life can be boring, strange and interesting things happen to me that don't happen to other people.

So I guess that means we are in a relationship. And I will try to take you seriously and not take you for granted.

Love and Light - djr
