Thanks for the hugs ladies, I needed them more than you know.
Den, you are way to nice! A banana peel?? That's not enough!
sflake, I'm sorry you had such a rough day. I hope you managed to avoid that nasty flu! I loved the website, I'm seriously thinking I need to try that!!!
Ellis, do you have the name of a good hit man? If you do, send it my way.
Squeak, there's another toxic one out there like mine? Now that's scary!! Do you want to borrow my hit man when I'm done with him?
Hi Mauvais and Ruth and everyone else. I hope you are having a nice weekend.
A positive side to my really bad week.....I haven't had much appetite so haven't eaten a whole lot this past week.....and I'm hoping that will be reflected on the scale when I step on it tomorrow. This is actually a breakthrough for me, as I'm an emotional eater, and in my previous life I would immediately turn to comfort food when stressed or upset or angry or hurt or......
A girl that works in the same place I do is Miss ND, and was in the Miss America pageant last night. I normally hate that pageant stuff and don't watch it, but of course had to tune in last night. She didn't make it into the first cut of 15, so I turned it off after that. I'm thinking that must make me a little hypocritical, not liking beauty pageants but then thinking it would be cool if Miss America came not only from my town but from my workplace! Hmmmmmmmm
Twodog, that sounds pretty hypocritical to me. I can relate, though. To my disgust, I've watched the Oscars for the last two years. JUST to see the outfits!
Listen, hon, I don't have the name of a good hit man, but I DO have the name of a good hit WOMAN!
Glad to hear you haven't been eating emotionally. I hope this week is much better for you.
Sflake, are you okay? I hope you didn't catch the flu.
So? Where the heck is everyone!?
I was up at 5 to pee, said prayers for all of you, then fell back to sleep until 9. Yikes!
DH is taking the children to church, and I am going to have a delightful time to myself. So please... no phone calls. And don't be knockin' on my door, either, huh? Unless you want to see my true colours.
I'll take the hit man after you are done Twodog. She lies to your face, is always the victim, nothing is ever her fault, will back stab anyone if it gets her ahead, and manages to make you feel bad for being legitimately angry with her.
I am here Ellis. At work actually. Was suppose to come in for a few minutes to run a test, but everything is backed up so I am trying to get a few other things done.
Things here are quiet but good. The diet has been shot for today, but thats ok. My stomach was growling so loud in my last meeting, that my co-worker across the table heard!
Oh, dear... here I am, Squeak! You should put a little something into that growly tummy.
I've done really well dieting and exercising today, but now I'm getting tired, and all I want to do is lie down with a book, a bag of chips, and a bag of bridge mixture. If only it were bedtime. Really, the day is MUCH too long.
Hi there, Squeak. Better stop talking to yourself!
Ellis, no chips or B. mix! If I can do a day without jujubes, you can do a day without chips or B mix! Have a nap, honey.
Hey, can I borrow your hit-person? There is someone I need to have taken down a notch or two!
HI!!!
I had a GREAT visit with my nephew and sister. Sad AND glad to see them go as I REALLY need to work more. Got 4 hours in today even though DS13 came home sick. I NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK!!!!
The party was grand! I can't wait to show you the pics but we've misplaced the digital camera somewhere. We had about 30 people show up (which was way more than I expected). And the cake didn't last long. Woo hoo!
The day after my party, the owner of the vintage clothing shop in front of our house was attacked by a crazy man. He stabbed her in the head (3 staples) and she blocked with her arm (2 staples), so obviously he wasn't particularly good at attacking people but needless to say, we were all pretty shook up. I live down an alley so we're kinda out of the way and open to stuff like this but my house is hidden so I usually don't worry about it. Now, I'm a bit more nervous going from my car to the gate.
Also, my boyfriend, his friend and I went swimming and they wouldn't listen to me when we got caught in a riptide. So, while I was swimming safely to shore, the Baywatch Girls were rescuing them. It scares me that my self-preservation instinct is that strong that I didn't go back for them.
I gained 5 fraking pounds over the weekend. It must have been the martinis.
Wow Jessica, what a weekend! I hope your neighbor is ok. Is there a lot of crime in your town? Glad your men are ok - they'll learn to listen to you one of these days! Looking forward to the pictures.
Got a bead order in which is always "Do it double time, do it perfect and have it done the day before yesterday." Once I'm done here it'll be back to work (brought some home with me.) Went to Wendy's drive thru with the kids after I picked them up from school. Got a salad and a diet coke. DS went back to school and came out saying he felt great. SO.....I'm back to work with a vengeance!!!
Hope you are all hanging in there, and Jessica.....PICS!! WE WANT PICS!!!
(Guys can be morons sometimes, huh?!)
Jessica, I have criminal acts right near me too....seems the old lady next door was moved into a nursing home. Last night somebody stole her car. I think they might have broken into her house, also. The police rang my bell at 2:30 this morning wanting to know what I knew about my neighbor. At the time I thought she had died (sad, I know - I don't know my neighbors) but wasn't sure. Her car was found abandoned in the middle of the road, out of gas. Seems her door was unlocked at home, too. CREEPY! I look over into her DARK back yard every night. Her house is just about 20 feet from mine, and was broken into . Just makes me feel 'violated'.
Working from home for a bit, then off to the dentist.
Who ever is out side mowing the lawn, just sounded like he hit the building.
Got to actually go to the office after the dentist. I think I like being home better. This why when I yell "you idiot" after reading an email, no one can hear me. There is one woman I deal with who at first, made me feel like a complete idiot, and incompetent, which I am not. Now she is just ping me off.
I hope you managed to avoid that nasty flu! I loved the website, I'm seriously thinking I need to try that!!! 
If you do, send it my way.
Now that's scary!! Do you want to borrow my hit man when I'm done with him?

If only it were bedtime. Really, the day is MUCH too long.
Today will be a better day. 
ing me off.
