The apartment across the street from us has had a for rent sign up all week. And all week I’ve entertained thoughts of strapping all our shit on our backs and traipsing across the road to settle in. The main motivator being that their driveway gets plowed out in the winter, since it is partially shared with the antiques store parking lot. Today I finally called the number on the sign and just asked what the rent was, and if it was the whole house back there… it’s not. There are apparently two apartments, which I can’t figure out. I’ve lived here, like, five years almost. How could I not have noticed two sets of residents over there? That can’t be right. Where do they park? Do they ever leave the house? Are they allergic to sunshine? Anyway, the rent is TWICE what we pay here. Heat and electricity are included in the rent there, and the available apartment has one extra bedroom… but it’s definitely not worth the move. And so we will stay here another almost five years. Unless we win the lotto. Or are evicted. The good news is that I now re-appreciate our cheap rent.
I really really want to send Mrs. Mullet an email with the title “Hot Poker in my ass – is that what Chuck had?” … just because she said not to. I have no real ass complaints to make though, so I will try to hold myself back. I could probably tell her about how, sometimes? You can’t avoid “dropping off the kids at someone elses pool“… some of us have sudden onset bowel movements. TMI? Probably. But I blame the whole lack of a gall bladder thing. It’s tragic really. PS I really like Mrs. Mullet’s blog. She doesn’t only talk about asses and poops. I swear it.
Jeff’s birthday is coming up, June 10th. His present is sitting in the corner of this room, wrapped all haphazardly. He has threatened to tear it open a time or two, but he won’t For fear of his LIFE. He thinks he knows what it is. But I think he is close, but wrong. Well, on one thing. The other thing is the only thing he actually requested, so he’s right there. But if he’s here reading this just to see if I out his gift? It’s not that. It’s a lego’s set. A Disney Princess Lego Set. So there. Now – beat it!
After that is Father’s Day, and I feel bad for my step-father this year. And Jeff’s dad. Since we are Broke.As.Hell. I’m sure we’ll be able to swing something, but definitely nothing over the top. Sigh.
And then that same weekend, on June 20th, my friend Kelly is getting married. And I am one of her bridesmaids. So we will be off partying into the the night. That’s funny, because we are not the partying kind. Ha! But we will be in attendance, and will try not to be the first losers to escape to our hotel room for SWEET SWEET SLEEP.
Which, by the way, I do too much of. I really think I have a sleep disease. I sleep all night, and half the day on weekends, plus I have been napping like crazy… and never really feel awake. I honestly think it’s time to have my thyroid checked. My mother had an over-active thryoid and ended up having to have it dissolved. I can’t figure out whether I think mine is over or under active, I’ve got symptoms from both camps. Fatigue being the biggest one that is listed for both. Anyway. All I’ll have to do is mention it to my mother and she will physically force me to make an appointment to have the blood test done. So I will surely know eventually.
And to wrap things up… I admit I fell off the Nablopomo wagon this month. Actually, I kind of jumped off. Last Sunday. I just didn’t want to anymore, damn it. So I didn’t. And I won’t be signing up this month, either. Which you could probably guess. I’ll still be around here and there though. Of course. I never really disappear for long. Happy summer everyone!

When Jeff and I walk into a grocery store, and directly beside the front door is a stand full of “BUY ONE GET ONE FREE!” Angel Food Cake. And directly ahead? The biggest strawberries we’ve ever seen.
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all have a big barbecue party to attend today. I don’t… but that’s ok. Did you see my consolation prize? Strawberry Shortcake… FOR BREAKFAST.
Anyone know the number for a good lawyer? I’ve been robbed and I want to press charges.
Caught in the act.
… here I come! Whoop! If I had thought of it I would have taken today off too and made it a four day weekend. But I didn’t. And hardly anyone was at work all day, it was super quiet.
I am going to have to figure out what I want to do for my own assignment this weekend, I suppose. Since my “deadline” is set for Monday! What to do, what to do. Do you know what YOU are going to do? I will come up with something. Hopefully something amazing. I had an idea once, but I didn’t follow through. And probably won’t this weekend either, so I’ll need to hit the drawing board again!
Also, I should clean. But we both know that’s just talk and will so not happen. 
Last night we went to see the Star Trek movie. I’m not a Trekkie. I have seen my share of episodes throughout the years though (my stepsister used to watch the show a lot, and Jeff watches it from time to time if he finds it on somewhere), so I wasn’t completely out of the loop. But really, it wouldn’t have mattered since it had that whole alternate lifepath storyline thing going for it. It was pretty decent, you should go see it, or at least rent it later on. PS I am really good at making the Vulcan sign. PPS I thought the bad guy was Karev from Greys Anatomy – but it’s not. Not even close.
Tonight we are going to watch Doubt – which I rented the night before last but there have been too many season finale’s on this week to watch it yet. It better be good. I have been wanting to see it for awhile, the previews intrigue me.
I come bearing pictures from the bridal shower I went to Sunday. Here are all the important things.
Gifts:
Food:
My Gift:
Cake:
Bow Hat:
It was fun, and I won a prize for turning in my all-right wordscramble first. WOOO! Jealous?
I have nothing good to write about today, I am grumpy about something I’m not going to go into detail about regarding a company that super sucks at communication. Actually I’m a little grumpy about two companies that super suck at communication, one being a doctors office – but that’s over with and taken care of now. And the other being something completely different. The more I think about it I think they have really messed up my account, and of course they are not responding now. That’s fine as long as they are actually looking into it and going to try to figure it all out, but if they’re just ignoring it right now because it got too complicated – I’m just going to get madder and madder and then they are going to want to deal with me even less. I really do try to be patient and reasonable, I’ve been on the other end of the emails/phone calls before. I have had many jobs. But they are really not helping themselves.
Gah! See? Nothing good to write about today.
I’m told this is the way to make new friends… Friend Making Monday is brought to you by All That is Good.
You wouldn’t be caught dead where?: A nudie beach. Or a nudie anything.
Do you have any hidden talents?: I can whistle. That’s not a hidden talent, but Jeff can’t do it. So it feels like its something special when I can whistle in front of him and be like “Allll together now!” – which is when he usually flips me off.
Name two things you consider yourself to be very good at: I am really good at watching tv, and eating ice cream. 
Name two things you consider yourself to be very bad at: making small talk. cleaning.
Have you ever won a trophy?: No. *sniffle*
Name one thing not many people know about you: At this point there can’t be much that not many people know about me. Umm… Do you all know that I have a birthmark on my belly? There you go. Now you know.
Name your earliest memory: Sitting on my mom’s lap at the kitchen table while she visited with friends, and listening to her voice through her chest.
What was your favorite musical group in jr. high?: Guns N’ Roses. I was way too cool for school even then.
What was something the worst roommate you ever had did?: I never had a real roommate. Just my step-sister, and then Jeff. But my step-sister was mean and was ashamed of my blankies and she would make me hide them in my bed so no one could see them. But no one ever came over anyway so she was just being mean! *kicks her butt* Also when I sprained my ankle and was on crutches she would never remember to move the bean bag chairs out of the center of the room and I would trip over them at night and that hurt.
When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?: Everything. An artist, a writer, lawyer, teacher, social worker, mom, etc…
What was your worst dating experience?: It wasn’t a real *date* but (in High School) I went to get ice cream with this boy that liked me after work one night. He seemed ok at work but I hardly knew him and I let friends talk me into “going out” with him to get to know him. He was completely boring as hell and acted like he’d never been in a car before (he didn’t understand the vents in the car, and was sorta flipping out that I touched the radio while driving. OMG get out then). It was just awkward and weird and I couldn’t wait to drop him off and escape. I was really glad I only agreed to go up the road to the ice cream place, and not on a real date somewhere that would have taken longer.
If you were about to die what would your last meal be?: It would probably be about a gazillion course meal just to prolong things. There would be pizza, and ice cream, for sure.
Who is the most important person in your life?: Jeffy.
If your house was on fire what 3 things would you grab on your way out?: Jeff, Dale, and Chewy. If they were to save themselves I’d grab the computer tower and/or laptop – since that would rescue some photos, etc…, my cell phone to be sure we can call 911, and hmm. When it really comes down to it I guess there’s not that much I’d think to worry about!
