Bathroom Violator

In our building, we have four floors; I work on the fourth floor. Every floor is equip with a bathroom, with two stalls. There is a woman who works on the first floor, but for some unknown reason, she comes up to our floor to use the bathroom. Sometimes it's just to pee...but most of the time, it's to drop a deuce. Now, I have no problem with taking a crap at work if it's needed. But seriously!!? Why must she feel the need to violate our bathroom?! It's very hard for me to understand. She never goes to the second or third floor...just ours. Makes no sense. It's almost like she would rather walk up four flights of stairs, and risk the chance of shitting her pants, instead of just using her own bathroom. Whatever floats her boat, I guess.

In less than a week, 6 days to be exact, I will put myself through the mother of all "Ouch's"..........a Brazilian Wax. I'm mentally preparing myself for this God-awful pain that I will endure in 144 hours. Hopefully my hoo-ha will survive the pain that I am about to cause it. The results better be worth it.

Thankful Thursday

This is my first edition of, (what will hopefully be) a weekly Thankful Thursday entry.

Heineken Light

The house that Jon and I so happily share together

**********************

So there you have it. These are the things that I am most thankful for. I was not, however, thankful for my Popeyes lunch today. I ordered a 3 piece chicken strips and only received 2. I also didn't get any utensils...AND they gave me my box meal in a tiny bag and turned it sideways so all the gravy leaked out. Jerks.

Busy!!

So, I finally had my follow up appointment for my miscarriage - only it was a waste of time. I was under the assumption that they would be running some tests on me. All she did was tell me to wait at least two "normal cycles" before trying (which I already knew) and she referred me to a fertility specialist (which I could have been told over the phone). Sigh. So now I have to make the appointment to see the specialist, who will then finally run all these tests on me. Bleh.

Gah! There's so much going on lately I can't even keep my head on straight! Work is busy, school is busy, Jon is busy...life in general is busy. Thankfully our Tahoe weekend is finally here. It is a much needed vacation; just the two of us. It's supposed to be beautiful up there too. It's snowing there right now but it'll be nice and sunny for us this weekend. Our life has been on overload these past few months, so this weekend will be a chance for us to put everything on hold and enjoy each others' company. I can't wait!

Arizona

On Friday I took an early flight out to Arizona to meet up with some family at my grandma's house. They did a girls trip there for spring break and I was jealous that I couldn't go. Although my trip was way too short, I still had a fun time - it was worth it. The weather was beautiful...in the 80's! We played our favorite game, Tomo Todo (you must play it) all day. Apparently the girls all made up rules on when to take jello shots. In addition to taking a shot every time you won a Tomo Todo...if someone left the table, take a shot. When someone came back to the table, take a shot. You could even buy someone a shot for a quarter. The rules were hilarious. Needless to say...we were all drunk by dinner time.

On our way back home (I drove back with them) we had to stop off on the side of the road so my 3 year old niece could use the bathroom. Since there weren't any restrooms, and she "had to go now", we stopped off so she could squat. Now, as we were exiting and pulling off to the shoulder, we noticed a white Honda with the driver door open. We saw someone, who we thought was a woman, squatting to pee. As we drove a little closer, past the person, we realized that it was a man......AND he, um, wasn't peeing. He was taking a shit! On the side of the road!! For EVERYONE to see! He even had toilet paper in his hand...and his, ahem, business was clearly visible. SICK! About an hour after that disgustingness, we stopped off at a 7-Eleven to get coffee and guess who the guy was standing in front of me??? YES! The road-side-shitter! I couldn't believe it! He even started talking to me, asking "have you ever been to death valley?". I wanted to reply back and say "have you ever taken a shit on the side of the road?". Gross!!

I'm glad to be back home now. I missed Jon...a lot. I hate leaving him. I know that people say that they need their space away from their significant other...but I don't. Call me crazy, but I genuinely love being around him. I hate when we're apart. He's my other half and my best friend. I missed being with him in our little home. I feel so cozy in our place. I love the days when we're lazy and we wrap up in blankets and watch TV. Sigh....it's where I wish we were right now....

Spring Cleaning

I'm a fan of it. And for some reason, especially lately, I've been doing more cleaning and straightening up with the house. It's sad that I actually look forward to going home and cleaning. Yesterday I was at Walmart (that's a whole other subject) and I was actually excited when I bought multi-use dust clothes. I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to using them tonight when I get home. I've been itching to redo the bathroom too. I was at Bed, Bath & Beyond last week, shopping for a candle. But you can't not look around when you go there. Every single item in that store calls out to me. I try to make up every excuse in the book as to why I need some random utensil. But that damn good angel on my right shoulder usually wins that battle. Anyhoo, I found my way in the bathroom section and now I want to redo the bathroom. Maybe next week...

So, back to Walmart. Don't get me wrong...I like that their prices are decent and much more affordable than other places; but I swear that place attracts the most annoying people ever. Lately it's got to the point where I actually dread going there. I'm a Target shopper, so when I go some place different, I get all bent out of shape.

On a side note, the leggings that I'm wearing with my skirt and boots today are officially "the leggings from hell". With every step I take, they slowly fall down my leg. I'm on the verge of taking them off, cutting them to shreds and then setting them on fire.

Catch Up

I've been absent for a few days (Jon reminded me) so I'm doing a little catching up.

Jon's birthday was a success. He loved his cookie cake, the decorations and the gifts I got him. Seeing him so happy, puts a smile on my face. I love him.

We took Lauren to the airport last night. I hate when she has to leave. Sometimes I secretly wish that she would finish college up here where she's much closer. I'm selfish, I know.

Yesterday I came into work, logged on to my computer and a really crappy red X popped up that said "Danger: Your computer has 30 infections". Dun dun dunnnnn. Yep, a virus. IT took my laptop and have been working on it ever since. They gave me a temporary laptop, which gives me limited access to, well, pretty much everything. I feel so useless. I'm actually sitting here waiting for emails to come through. I've never been so bored at work before.

At least I get to leave work early today...but it's only to go to the dentist. I don't mind the dentist, but I always have to mentally prepare myself for it. I don't know why...it gives me a sense of ease I suppose. I never understand why the dental assistants talk to you and ask you questions when they're working on your teeth. It's not like we can give them an answer. I just end up feeling like an idiot speaking jibberish. I think they do it on purpose.

Well, that's it for today. I'll go back to patiently waiting for emails to arrive.

Excited!

I'm so excited; which is good, because I need all this fun to get my mind off of the recent heartbreak. Lauren is finally home...although I haven't seen her yet. But just knowing that she's back here makes me feel so happy! Not sure what we'll do yet. But I definitely need to have her come over. Maybe we'll have a sleep over and watch lame shows all night like old times. Perhaps we'll break out the cookie dough and laugh at each others lame jokes. Damn, I miss her.

Jon's birthday is tomorrow and I'm SO excited! It's so hard to keep things a secret. I find myself *almost* spilling the beans on what I bought him. I'm such a goof. I got a lot done today and I have to be sneaky to make sure everything is taken care of by tomorrow. He's definitely got a fun-filled day ahead of him.

***********

To top off my excitement, Jon is planning a secret getaway for us! After we lost the baby, we were thinking about taking a mini vacation, just the two of us. We couldn't really think of anywhere, so we decided to put it off. But, being the amazing man he is, mentioned last night that he's planning our vacation and that it's a secret. He's the best. I can't wait...we definitely need this. Traveling with him is one of my favorite things to do!
