Hong Kong Phooey

Just now, as I was walking to the kitchen at the office, I felt some butterflies in my stomach when I thought about my Sparky. Yes, it is true. This crazy lunatic misses her CAT (a.k.a Sparky). I was all excited about being single for a few days and now I am all missing him. I must be human after all :)

It really pisses me off (no pun intended) when people leave pee droplets on the toilet seat. When you turn around to flush the toilet, you would have to see what you left behind. Why not just go ahead and clean up your mess?

UURRRGGG. Nothing pisses me off more than sitting in someone else’s piss and then having it on my skin all freakin day long because no matter how hard you try to wipe it off you can still feel it on the back of your leg. Thank you PISSER. God help ya if I find out who is doing this.

At 9:30 AM I get a piece of fresh fruit (given to us by our company). I usually get an apple, because the oranges are too juicy. I won’t get into how I make my fruit selection today because it is a process I go through everyday and it torments me, but I digress.

Any who, I walk down the hallway to get my piece of fruit. I then walk past the restroom knowing good and well that if I look at the restroom door I will have to go, but I keep on walking back to my desk. Why I don’t just stop and go to the restroom I will never know! Everyday, I get back to my desk and turn right back around to go to the restroom.

While I am walking to the restroom, I see the water fountain right outside the restroom door. Everyday, with my apple in hand, I want to take the sticker (I peeled off my apple) and the stem (I pulled off my apple) and throw them into the water fountain. I don’t know why I want to do this. I have to remind myself that if I were to do that, the water fountain drains would be polluted with apple stickers and stems. Where does this urge come from? Why would I want to throw my trash into the water fountain?

I even think about how the stem would go down the drain, but the sticker would get stuck. I also think about how the sticker could keep the stem from going down the drain if I threw the sticker in there first. I have never done it because I talk myself out of it, but I want to, I digress!

I then go into the restroom, frustrated that I want to thrown my trash into the nice clean water fountain, sit my apple on the counter, use the restroom, wash my hands, wash my apple, dry off my apple (and in the process dry off my hands), walk to my desk, cut my apple, and FINALLY 12 hours later eat my apple.

While I am eating my apple I think about how I STILL WANT TO THROW MY APPLE STICKER AND STEM INTO THE WATER FOUNTAIN! WHY PEOPLE? WHY? Why do these thoughts pollute my head?

Is this normal? I think I have OCD or something or maybe I am just a rebel at heart, who knows!!

We had a good Memorial day w/e. It was busy but good! We did a lot of spring cleaning, ran a lot of errands, and hung out with family and friends.

Friday we cleaned and organized.

Saturday we went swimming with the Ramelows. To show you HOW out of shape I am, my arms are still killing me from that swim! One freakin day and my pecks are killing me!

Sunday slept late and went over to my Mom's house for dinner. My brother, his chick, and BFF were in town so we got to visit with them.

Monday we stayed around the house and did some more spring cleaning.

I got a new iPOD too! I spent a lot of my time downloading a MILLION cds onto my new iPOD. I got the 30GB video one. I LOVE IT! Theoretically, if I listened every song on there, they did not repeat, I would have a month worth of music! A MONTH! Isn't that cool?

While the cat is away the MOUSE will play!

I have activities planned for every night Andrew is gone!

Wednesday night (tonight) Cara, Sommer, and Alison are coming over to my house for dinner.
Thursday night I am having dinner with Melody.
Friday night I am hanging out with Sharon.
Saturday I am hanging out with Carsten all day (and he is spending a night with me!) and going to James’ b-day party! I get to see Karol and Sarah and Melissa and James all in one day!
Sunday I am hanging out with my BFF, ME! That’s right people! I am renting a bunch of girly movies and watching them all day long!
Monday HE is coming home and my fun is over! Just kidding Sparky! Love you!

FUN FUN FUN :)

Yesterday it cost me $45.00 to fill up my car. I usually don't put gas in my car anymore, Andrew does that for me, but yesterday I was running on fumes so I stopped. I hear people complain about the cost of gas all the time, and this includes Andrew, but I never really pay attention to the complaints until yesterday!

The whole episode got me to thinking about all the things I could have bought with that money.

For $45.00, I could have:
* bought a nice pair of shoes
* paid my water bill
* paid half of my electric bill
* bought groceries
* went out to dinner at a NICE restaurant
* bought necessities at Wal-greens (which I did yesterday right after I bought gas!)
* bought a new pair of jeans
* bought a new purse
* if I smoked, bought two cartons of cigarettes
* bought cable for a month!

Very interesting, but such is life. I can honestly say that I MUST be getting old, because I thought to myself (while I was pumping gas) I REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN IT ONLY COST ME $15.00 TO FILL UP MY TANK WITH GAS. Those were the days, I digress.

For some reason, "Houston, we have a problem" was in my head this morning.

At first, I could not remember why I said that in my head.

Then I started thinking (I know, I know), how cool is that we can say that and really mean it because we live in Houston?!

A lot of people that do not live in Houston say that, but it is not the same because they don't live here.

Yeah, that's right, YOU DON'T LIVE HERE so it doesn't mean caca when you say it LOSERS. I digress.

:)

That is my new favorite saying, I digress. It seems to add so much to whatever I am saying. I can feel confident that I have said everything I need to say, but that if I had the time I would say a WHOLE lot more. It is almost like a to be continued statement. LOVE IT!

So the final American Idol show last night was AWESOME! It was like watching a concert! I loved everyone on the show, with the exception of that band that played with Chris D. (since I don't listen to that type of music), but I digress. They really went all out this year, and as a fan of the show I appreciated it! I mean Dionne Warwick! And Clay Aiken! And PRINCE?!! And Mary J. Blige!! I had to go get my Mary J. CD out of my home office last night so I could listen to it this morning! NO MORE DRAMAAAAAA.......(I am singing). One word, AWESOME.

A co-worker of mine called Andrew and I a DI-NK type of couple. I was like, what the hell does that mean?! Come to find out DI-NK means, dual-income no kids! How cool is that? So now I can say that Andrew and I are DI-NKs!

Here he says, "You better lock your doors while you sleep lady."

This is the look he gave me after I took the first picture!
How he can go from looking so happy to looking so sullen, I will never know!

I like to use Tide to wash my clothes, but Andrew thinks it is too expensive so I have switched to Gain Gardenia Delight (in the pretty pink bottle).

We ran out of it so when Andrew went to Wal-Mart I asked him to grab some more. Before he left I asked him if he knew EXACTLY which one to get and he said he knew which one it was.

Guess what? He came home with the wrong scent. He brought home Apple Mango Tango something or another and it really set me off.

I don't mind the Gardenia Delight smell, but who the hell wants to smell like FRUIT? That is what I thought the first time I saw these new scents at the grocery store. FRUIT?

So anyway, I am sitting here smelling like fruit. That is the first thing I thought of this morning when I put my shirt on, "This shirt smells like.........funny......like FRUIT."

Thanks Dear, now I am fruity.

I bring my lunch to work because I am lazy and I don't want to put forth the effort it would take to:

Go down the stairs to get to the parking garage
Go up the stairs in the parking garage to get to my car
Get in my car
Start my car
Adjust myself in the driver's seat
Adjust the radio
Drive somewhere
Wait in line
Order my food
Hand someone my money
Grab my food
Get back into my car
Adjust myself in the driver's seat
Adjust the radio again
Drive back to work
Climb down the stairs in the parking garage to get to my building
Climb up the stairs to get to my floor (I am on the second floor)
Walk to my chair
Adjust myself in my chair
Eat

That is just how lazy I am.

Helllloooooo readers! Sorry, I disappeared on you ;)

This past week has been crazy to say the least. The new job is going well. I am getting into the swing of things, I think!

Not much has been going on at home. Andrew and I have just been working, working, and more working.

Today I got to hang out with my parents and Andrew did the same. That's about it!

Maybe I will have some more interesting stories next week!

I guess working from home made my immune system weak, because I am already sick after only be in the office for a week! I felt fine yesterday during the day time, but last night I started sneezing and my nose started running. I thought it was allergies, but I guess it wasn't! By the time I went to bed I had a horrible head cold :( Oh well, hopefully it will be gone soon.

Well, I survived my first day and it went really well! The people are really nice and happy to see me. Seems like the teams have been neglected a little since there are not enough writers to go around! I got my first project and I am ready to go. I think :) I don't know what the hell I am writing about, they could be talking in a foreign language for all I know. I am sure I will learn all the lingo soon. Thanks for all your support!
