I am buying stock in Excedrin
well I still feel like someone clobbered me over the head with a frying pan. Perhaps it was crusty crown getting me back about the fan comment in my earlier post from this week.
Well, we have an adoption meeting today. Irony here is that we had emailed our case worker and then we get a letter that they are going to close our case. Um...NO. We paid you assholes $3k I don't think you will be closing our case.
So we will see how that goes.
We have also gotten our room booked for Rapid City for the weekend. We are going to be able to take the girls so that will be nice. I have to see if I can get something to quiet them down so they don't attack everyone to say hello but it will be nice. They are really good in the car.
I am trying to find a fun route to take too. I think we are going to attempt to take the Enchanted Highway just for something to look at as I hate that drive to Bowman on 85. Yes, yes, the cop car parked in Amidon with the maniquin in it is funny, but other than that there is nothing funny about that trip other than counting cows vs people.
Having something to do this weekend has made working today really difficult. I am only here for about 15 more minutes so I really don't want to do anymore. I have an attorney I should call back but you know...it's almost my weekend, why should I ruin it by arguing with a moron that thinks he knows child support?
ugh my head hurts
well today I have a mini migraine, not sure where that came from but it is definately here.
I am dying and really want to go home but I won't do it. I need my afternoon off tomorrow to clean house as Lloyd and I are again going to try a road trip. We are going to try Deadwood this time.
Fiesta party is still going, everyone got some good eats and everyone liked the decor. So I am glad I did it.
Everyone is looking at me weird around here too because I am parading around with a coat on and have my heater on. I don't think I am coming down with anything, I just think I am wore out for the week and tonight after I tan I am going to find a nice soft spot on the couch and die.
Of course that doesn't help me with cleaning and mowing the grass but I will do that tomorrow afternoon.
now, back to sleep, I mean work.
Shake my ass, I found it!
I had to go to the dirty grocery store but they had the mexican chocolate.
It reminds me of a ginger snap with chocolate...it's really not that bad.
So now that I have this, I am going to have to get the rest of the goop for the cake but at least I can get something done.
Go Team Me!
*sits down and croaks*
Shake your Maracas!
Where does one find mexican chocolate in North Dakota?
Miroslava bought me this wonderful cookbook with what she calls a "cracker" on the cover (white dude) and made fun of it because how many mexican crackers do you see? Well apparently this guy can cook so I think she was hinting to try something different. Due to her being mexican and all no offense was taken by anyone...
(here is the cracker)
I have poured over the book on several occasions but wanted something special to actually make something out of it.
Well now that we are having this fiesta party tomorrow (I didn't realize it was tomorrow till I figured out today is actually Hump Day...what is the matter with me?) I have to get this going. So I am going to make an authentic mexican chocolate streussel cake. Problem I am having is that I need some mexican chocolate.
I have been picking my brain to think of a store that may have some international items - and the only place I can think of is Big Lots. Strange as that is, they may actually have some so I am going to check.
Shame on me for letting this go - usually I am not that bad. Last night I had to run errands and if I would have thought of this I would have taken care of this too...ugh.
Not like running for 4 cases of bottled water is huge, but after walking Mollie & Torrie - or tripping over Torrie is more like it - and vacuuming the whole house as it is a dust ball, I didn't have much time left to do anything else other than get a bite to eat, watch the news and crash.
So tonight I am going to have to haul ass. Problem is that I don't get out of here till 5:30 and I have to go tan again...actually that was nice last night...calmed me down and I drifted off for 18 minutes. It's one place where I can just attempt to calm my brain. I tune up my mp3 player on my cell phone and just go elsewhere.
Okay, daydream over - must work on alerts and google chocolate.
and stop chatting with Lisa May...not that I don't love you my dear...
Adventures in Forgetfulness...
You know, I couldn't tell you what my last thought was...and I hate that.
perhaps that is because I need more coffee...coffee...coffee.
So today thusfar has been rather blah...I had to run home and get a cookbook as we are having a Fiesta Party here at the office on Thursday in our dirty conference room.
Now you are wondering...dirty? yes. There are files and files and files all over the damn place. I can't stand it. So my thought was that I am going to go to Menards and buy burlap sacks to cover up the boxes...I am serious. It looks like a junkyard anyhoo so why not help it along some? Perhaps after we can have a fashion show for the boys since they all believe that women should only have burlap anyhoo.
I want to make it a fun treat for us all. We are all about on overcooked, it's just been a stressful summer. We need a moment just to sit down and enjoy ourselves. Since we have been in our new space I don't think we have...I do know however that I enjoy my door with my friggin name on it.
Well, I should work on something...ugh.
crash & burn
well this afternoon made me into a hella bear. I was so bitchy I couldn't stand myself and then I had a walk in right at 5 o'clock and the worst part...
the dude didn't read the fucking letter I sent to him. But he brought me all his coffee soaked pay stubs.
Now at 8:30 I would have been able to tolerate him. This afternoon however turned into a powder keg for me and I really started to loose it about 4:00 or so. Lori was gone so I had deal with a the crankamuffins on the phone but they were uncommonly more pleasant to deal with than my Pen Superstar. He was just an asshole today and almost got called a dick but I figured that may be pushing it some.
I managed to get out of there without breaking anyone's neck but if I would have had to be more pleasant on the elevator with the bookbag mongers (Social Workers from Social Services) I may have opened a can of whoop ass. I was really not in the mood to talk to 300 pounds of warm and fuzzy carrying a fan that she must have used to cool her taloned feet. I likely would have cracked that sucker across her scalp but I am afraid that her psoriasis probably would have shielded her from the blow.
Then I came home and waited for Lloyd as we were to have Carson for the evening. I love the boy but I didn't know how much I could take after having a day from hell.
It wasn't bad but I did think of a funny after we ate. Lloyd says that he is forever asking questions.
We had to stop and get gas for the Camry as Lloyd must have farted into his gas tank earlier to get us around as there wasn't any actual fuel in the tank, so he and Carson get out. I can see in the rear view Carson's head bouncing up and down as I look out the Driver's window and Lloyd is pressed up against the car with his arms crossed. That was not a look of coolness from the back...
Of course I start laughing hysterically in the car, enough for the person next to us to look at the crazy bitch in the car next to them with the windows rolled up howling like crazy. It was funny that he had just mentioned this hyeractivity to me earlier and now here I was watching him deal with it.
So we came back here, walked the girls around our new Gateway Park which is across the street (they have a nice walking path around the holding pond - apparently they are still working on it but people are using the path) and then the played with the girls outside as I had to run to Menards for some Wall Anchors for one of our Dog's Playing Poker. I came back and they were playing Playstation, Carson still asking ten thousand questions.
Lloyd took him home now so I am off to see what I can do for research on one of our shared pieces of crap. I don't believe our boy likes the Suhr's too much.
So, bite me.
I survived...I didn't sleep, but I survived!
Well that is over, the shortest weekend known to man. I was so worked up over how much stuff I got done I didn't sleep last night so today will be an extra coffee day. It's also really dark and disgusting out so it is going to be exceptionally hard to get moving.
The party was alot of fun. It was rather tame but there were a few things that made my eyeballs pop out of my head. Perhaps because they looked more sci-fi than anything else. Not that that kind of stuff is going tot look "pretty" because let's face it, it's not. Nevertheless, I did purchase a few things that have dual purposes (practical, practical practical people!) so I am looking forward to getting them.
I am not sure what I am the most excited about, probably the pheromones. I really liked the way they smelled, so it will be interesting.
Okay back to things that are less borderline scary as my Mom told me yesterday: ('keep your passions in check' she said...which I found purely hilarious...um Mom, you told me this when I was 13, has anything really changed that would scare you now? Geesh.)
I have more pictures of my little man courtesy of Lance & Veronica!
I am sorry but my wee man is just devilishly handsome!
Back to boring work and another pot of coffee.
