Happy Heart Day Divas! And a special shout out to KimB! :-)
I have already made myself my Number One Valentine & am lounging in my whore sheets w/ Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies and java. I love me some Thin Mints (although, eating several servings of them are sure to keep me un-THIN), & I love me some fresh brewed coffee, & I love me some 800 thread count sheets & I love that I have stuff to love on this day.
Yesterday, I slept well, had French Toast, saw my Army battle buddy & goddaughter, left all of Bob's hair in tact, walked to the grocery store for dinner fixins, actually PREPARED dinner (Italian sausage w/ basil pesto pasta that tasted seasonless to me. I'll do better next time.), & enjoyed the weather. Only one homeless fella approached me during my walk & he didn't ask for cash. He just politely stated that he'd like to find someone like me when he grows up. Aaahhh. Now isn't that heart melting? Sure he was probably late 40's to early 50's & missing some crucial teeth & was drinking an unknown beverage wrapped in a paper sack koozie, but what a heart melting statement. If I'm still single by the time I reach 53, I'll go back for him. :-) I also received another random W2 in the mail yesterday. I mean REALLY!?!?! I've entered Tax Filing Hell & I'm quite sure Uncle IRS will be auditing the snot outta me this year. The spare change you've set aside to bail me out of county will indeed come in handy when I'm in the pen! Damn, I may need my Heart Melter fella sooner than 53 if I'm allowed conjugal visits. FM(damn)L!
Random Rants:
╩ Aretha looked thinner but in a sick way. Feel better fast Aretha.
╩ I wish I would've kept the Grammy's rolling long enough to see Marshall Mathers but they were smashing my soul.
╩ Will Bieber win big next year for being snubbed this year?
╩ The gal who lives below me has a nice, giant dog. I've begun to notice poop outside in a non-pooping area. Would it be wrong of me to scoop the poop & place it at her doormat? Why can't she just be a polite pet owner??? Uugh!
╩ There's gotta be a way for me to help my Veterans while I'm home in my sheets. Ideas?
Today:
I have no idea what my goals for the day are. We'll see what comes along & turns out fantastic!
Happy Love Day Divas!
All I wanted was some French Toast yesterday & to complete a few goals. Well... I had no toast & completed one goal in a big way: DIETING! 11 hours or so of lounging in my whore sheets. They're such hostage takers on my nights off...these damned great-feeling sheets! I've managed to abandon them for a few minutes to relieve myself & make oatmeal & take a vitamin. I did indeed wash my hands in between those acts. I also saw "The Social Network" & enjoyed the oddities of Mark Zuckerberg. Today, I meet with Bob the Incompetent. While I cannot guarantee I won't use profanity towards him, I promise not to pull plugs of his hair out at the roots. If you all don't mind setting aside spare change to put on my books, that would be appreciated. Ya know? Just in case I end up in the county jail. Thanks. What may save BtI is that I'll be walking a mile to his office, enjoying the weather & good tunes. Wish us luck.
I thought about what I would do as a profession if money wasn't necessary & here's what I got:
= Test sheets' quality = Motivational speaker to teen girls
= Teach communications skills to high school students = Judge/oversee grammar contests (if they existed)
= College professor = Social worker and/or counselor
= Teach health & sex education = Travel & eat
= Have lots of Sex
There ya go. That list is in no particular or ranking order. And I'm sure there are several other random professions I'd love to have if I didn't have to worry about money. Ladies, feel free to connect me with anyone who could help out. Sugar Daddy applications are being accepted. :-)
Goals of the Day:
¶ Not harm Bob the Incompetent or his hair
¶ Something cultural - maybe a play or museum
¶ Clean my bathroom
¶ Cook something
¶ Look up feasible professions :-)
Here's to a Sexy Sunday Soul Sistas!
Buenos Dias Chicas!
You're reading from the super proud diva that accomplished everything on her goals list yesterday. I FINALLY got through 'Inception' & it was better than decent. I got a care package off to Afghanistan & all the Valentine's gifts out to the god-kids & nephews & nieces. I rocked yesterday like nobody's business! Just finished 'Toy Story 3' (have I mentioned how much I LOVE working graveyard shift?!?!) & that, too, was very good. I enjoyed it more than I even imagined I Wood-y. (HA! I kill me! Is improv comedy in my future? No? Fine!)
As I was getting ready for work last night, I was thinking about our blogs and the content and how we're all so similar in many aspects. Right now, I like my job because it's easy, I'm helping others, and I get to catch up on movies & web surf. However, I am constantly thinking about what I could & should be doing. Much, much more? Probably. But what is it that I want to do? I hate teetering on so many grand ideas & following through with none of them. Escapism is my coping method of choice: As soon as I'm bored or fed up with one gig or supervisor, I relocate & try another. So...one major accomplishment I'd like to reach within the next few months (I know it'll take that long) is to jot down my interests & truly ask myself, "What would I do if I didn't have to worry about bills being paid and such?" Hopefully, this leads me to some sort of eureka & I can passionately pursue my next great adventure. Wish me luck ladies.
Short Term/Today:
◄ Actually make something with Italian sausage (& probably green chile)
◄ Enjoy the weather
◄ Look at hot occupations & ponder if I like any of them
◄ See a movie ... I know your brows are raised in surprise at that one!
Enjoy the day & weekend Divas! Here's to sunny and/or warmer weather!
Guten Tag Frau's!
Wouldn't ya know the evening I set out to push through "Inception" the dang work computer ain't having it?!?! That leaves me to reading about my Vets, surfing the web aimlessly, and reading my book I suppose. Judas priest, will I ever get through this fraggle naggle film?!?! Judy Bloom should write about my plight. Anyhoo, according to the scale in my bathroom, I lost somewhere between 8-10 pounds. Let's call it 9 and move on about our business, shall we? I wonder if my scale knows when Maurice the Menstrual is here (he's a week early by the way) and takes pity on me. I'll take the poundless pity with a side of gravy any day. This sleep diet must be doing the trick. Or maybe the many laps I make walking the halls at work are paying off. Everyone should sleep and spin and eat Girl Scout Cookies and shovel snow and clean houses and fight folks for seating on mass transit. All of those activities equal skinny success. My co-workers have noticed that I'm thinner when I didn't even notice myself. Good thing? Great thing! Hooray!
Bob the Incompetent (hasn't earned the priviledge of having his name shortened) still has my documents & I won't see him until Sunday. Mel, I may just drive to Belen to meet your accountant. Seriously. I think I need a New Mexican to figure out my madness `cause that's where the madness began. Okay, the madness always begins & ends w/ me, but still...Nuevo Mexico played a hand in my current tax madness. Filthflaringpoppycockfilth! WTH am I even talking about in this blah blah blog?!?!? Moving on to goals:
What Will Whirl Today:
¢ "Inception" or "Toy Story 3" or both.
¢ Books MUST go back to the library. They're due today.
¢ Find a recipe that includes sweet Italian sausage (that's what she said!)
¢ Diet. :-)
¢ At least one load of laundry.
Greatest Gratefuls:
£ Catching my shows on NBC.com and ABC.com since I'm asleep during their regular show times.
£ That I don't live in Egypt at the moment.
£ For being able to read people well.
£ Staying calm during mini-emergencies.
£ Finding random signs on the keyboard by using Alt with any combination of numbers!
Good Morning FT'ers!
Nothing superb to blah blah blog about. The massage was fantastic & much needed. Fluffy Haired Bob still has my tax info & I didn't bother to call him about it yesterday. I was focused on 'The Fighter' & dieting. By the by, I hope that movie gets some type of award, but still leaning toward 'The King's Speech' to take the big prize. I did a wee bit of fitness & had no spiked drinks. Successful day. I was happy to read that among us is a BadASS; a +.2 lbs more of muscle woman; a similar PMS'er; and all around dynamic divas! You all are my new addiction & I am grateful for ya. My other new addiction is HEB brand pita chips. DeeDamnLicious!
Moving on to today's goals:
› Movement! I've not really walked outside for a couple of days. Today will be cold, so I'll do some indoor activity.
› Donate or recycle old magazines
› Return books to the library
› Get through 'Inception' for real this time. :-)
› Eat well
› Contact Fluffy Haired Bob the Incompetent (hoping that I can remove Incompetent from his name) for my tax documents.
Have a fantastic 41st Divas!
G'Day Divas!
As you may have observed from comments to my comments, I did not go hurt Bob the Incompetent nor pick up my tax info yesterday. Instead, I spiked my hot chocolate with Amarula, had some German Chocolate Cake & settled in to watch "Winter's Bone." Additionally, I scheduled a massage & dieted nicely. Tuesday was indeed terrific & I suggest you all have a similar Wednesday. :-) Get some of this:
Today I will:
% pay someone to rub my body w/ some sort of lotion
% not have another spiked concoction
% do some fitness
% watch another Oscar-worthy film
Lots of gratitude for:
% having a big t.v. with a very clear picture. Sports and movies look great when I'm home in the middle of the day hopped up on chocolately goodness.
% being able to wear jeans to work.
% the Vets that appreciate me being here.
Guten Tag Hermosas!
Money can really make folks manic! I worked out a budget & debt reduction plan that should have me sitting fancy within the next 5 years. Seems far away, but I'm keeping it realistic. I'm sure I'll earn more money w/in that time frame, but I also have to account for inflation. Called the student loan folks who were absolutely NO help at all. After being transferred around to three representatives, I politely thanked Betty and disconnected. I threw on a back pack & sneakers and walked up to my local H&R Block (hooray for fitness!). Guess who I met there?!?! Bob the Incompetent. Are my expectations too high of tax professionals? Perhaps. Yall let me know, please, after I break down the scenario. Ready? Great!
Me: I need to amend my tax return. I left out two pieces of information.
Bob: Okay. I should be able to get you all done. But I'm not used to doing amendments.
[Bob is looking over my paperwork & punching in #'s. He gets up and goes near the printer but returns with NOTHING.]
Me: [trying to explain the 2 pieces that are not yet included] I forgot this retirement system pay out and my student loan interest paid for last year.
Bob: [mumbling to self , "Oh, the 12:00 appointment is here."] Do you just want to leave this here and let me work on it? I don't know if I have to re-do the WHOLE thing or what forms I need to use. And you don't want to be here for two hours when you can be at home. I get in at nine, call me at nine-thirty. I'll work on it tomorrow and have it ready to be picked up on Wednesday.
Me: I don't feel entirely comfortable with leaving my information here as my identity has been stolen twice.
A few more exchanges took place. I left feeling uncomfortable but trying to convince myself that I should TRY to trust Bob the Incompetent. Still not feelin' it. I'll go back today & retrieve my documents. I may ask around for an accountant or just figure out the amendment myself. I've already looked @ the form on IRS.gov and am pretty sure I can make it happen. Thus, my money mania was unresolved for Monday & I wanted to pull Bob's fluffy ass hair! The sunnier sides of the day included me grabbing Valentine's cards for the kiddos, care package contents for a friend in Afghanistan, and a walk outdoors. Also got some good dieting in. The day wasn't a complete bust. Just manic as it needed to be. :-) Thanks for listening Divas!
Today I Will:
† not hurt Bob or his hair when I retrieve my documents.
† watch Winter's Bone. Have I mentioned how damned great Netflix is?!?!
† Follow through with massage scheduling. I got too distracted yesterday.
† Keep my fellas from departing the program early. (I've already achieved this one. Hooray!)
Again, thanks for listening to the mania & wishing you all a fabulous day!
