Okay, boring AND soggy. It rained. A lot. And I wore a sweater. And I was hot.

Well looky there, I'm a poet...

Absolutely nothing exciting or worth relating happened today. I smashed my thumb in the cash drawer and I think it will turn blue or black. Maybe both. *shrug* Wee... won't that be pretty? I already see a shadow of a dark streak inside my nail. *sigh*

Must polish...must polish...

Happy note: I discovered chocolate mint kisses (special limited edition it claims on the bag). They're yummy and helped my hurt finger. :)

Haven't written a damn thing in roughly 2 months. *sigh*

I suck. I need another choco-minty kiss. *Waah!*

Sad note: I hear the Optimist Club is shutting down! WTF?? If the optimists see the glass not as half EMPTY, but rather as half FULL then instead of shutting down, they should be shutting UP, right? Wait... no... well, in any event, that's sad news indeed. Read it here. *sniffle*

Sunday pay is great - much as I hate going in on a post-holiday weekend, the perks for the werks is primo. Anyhoo, had a BUNCH of meanies come in today (I think it's midterm, end of term, whatever) but roughly a kajillion and twelve people came in to use computers today. One lady was SO HATEFUL I thought I was gonna pull an Eminem and just LOSE IT! But then when she was getting all crabby and mean and smarmy, a bug flew out of her hair! And I watched it fly onto my monitor and we both looked at it and I was like, "uh...." and she was like "eeep!" and I was like "That bug just flew outta your hair." and she was like "Nuh-uh." and I was like, "Yeah-huh" and then she stormed out and I was like, "Hey little buddy," to the bug because it was just a cute little ladybug. SO that's my story for today. Well, that and the trip to Luby's (the cafeteria chain) we went to after work today. I walked in and I smiled to the lady behind the counter and said in my best wide-eyed-innocent voice "Oh, I DO so hope you have some Turkey and Dressing!" and she was like "Oh no you di'nt." and I was like "Oh yeah I dee-yud." but then Anna Nicole Smith stumbled up behind us and started swaying and slurring, "Do you like my body.... *hic*" [j/k but sheesh.... what the heck is IN that Trimspa??] Anyway, I quickly lost interest in my post-Turkey Day joke and ordered the roast beef. :)

I cut the crap out of my thumb (and here I bet you didn't realize thumbs did indeed have crap in them, right?) well it HURTS! Bran got one of those As-Seen-On-TV knives that stay sharp and can cut a car in half and still slice a tomato wafer-thin (you know the kind I'm talking about -- the knife that usually comes in the Ronco SET IT AND FORGET IT package deal.) So I was slicing a piece of ham and mistook the fat little fleshy part of my thumb for pork product. *oink*

That's it. Exciting day, yes?....the bed....is...calling...me....(I think it secretly wants my body -- honest!)

Yeah, so... After repeatedly saying to ANYONE that would listen that I would NOT go out to shop today, what did I do? uh-huh. I should have just rammed a red hot poker into my eye... but noooooo... I just had to "go and see". Oh, Me so CRAZY!! Well, I DID get some decent sales, but OH-MY-GAWD what swarms of raving idiots are let loose on this day?! I mean the brainless wonders who think they're the only one in the store aisles. The ones who have one finger poked up their nose and the other hand scratching their greasy scalp... all the while their buggy is left smack dab in the middle of the aisle... SIDEWAYS!! ARGH! Then you go "Excuse me.." and they look at you like "Leemee alone, I got mah fanger shoved up mah nose, dammit! I cain't thank and do this all at the same tahm!"

***ARGH!!!!!!!! ***

And THEN I had some crone nearly fight me for my squishy pillow! A friggin' SQUISHY pillow, I tell ya! I nearly grabbed the Oneida serving knife from her cart and shouted, "Back off biyatch, or I'll cutcha!" But I was polite and told her exactly where to go... (to find the pillow or course.. I had my nice face on today [barely]). But anyhoo, I'm worn out and Bran's computer is making weird noises like an European police car (weee-woo weee-woo) and it's pretty irritating.

Welp... Gotta getta piece of punkin' pie to appease me... ;) I deserve it!

So.... it's been awhile since I posted I see. *yikes* But considering I've had 2 ppl write me and tell me to start up again, I will end my hunger strike and do just that. Ok, well, I wasn't on a hunger strike... I wasn't even planning on this unplanned hiatus. I just took a wrong turn (not at albequerque...how do you spell that?? And why did Bugs Bunny ALWAYS use that phrase?). I digress...
I like ellipses...
...see?
Where was I? Oh yeah, I was giving the ol' song and dance routine of what's kept me away. Well, nothing really exciting or worth writing about. I just procrastinated. On writing here in the blog and on my story. Ugh. I'm a total looo-hoo zaaah-herr! My grandmother passed away this month - very sad. But she had just turned 90 yrs old. So that's a phenomenal milestone IMHO. Brandon and I had to drive 5 hours down to the funeral and then turn around and drive another 5 hrs home. Long day.. but we took a rental, so no mileage on either of our coaches. We rented a Ford Focus and I'll be honest, I thought they were kind of wind-up looking, but they got EXCELLENT gas mileage and we made it down there and back PLUS renting the car on LESS than it would have taken us to use our Chevy Truck. Can you believe that? I really wish they'd (the big THEY) would push for more environmentally friendly cars and more hybrids etc. I really wanted one of those Toyota Prius's, but man, trying to find one for sale is pretty much like spotting a wandering Yeti. And forget about paying.. aye yie yie.... mucho dinero.
Ooops... I digressed again, didn't I?
Oh, real quick, I want to thank "Queen D" The Original Southern Diva for making me today's blog! *blush* I'm honored that you stopped in and read my ramblings. And thanks to my other internet blogger friend, Gina for checking in on me.
SO it's Thanksgiving and I'm hopped up on Triptophin (Zzzzzz). I had all the diet food: Sweet potatoes with praline topping, creamed spinach casserole, double-decker pumpkin pie, mashed taters, mom's cornbread dressing, smoked turkey, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and rolls. Yummmmy! I took a nap so now I shall look forward to eating even more of that leftover yumminess when next I travel to the kitchen....
Okay, so hmmm... now that I mentioned eating some more I can't think of anything else to say. Must eat... must...eat....
...obey the turkey....
.........................gobble....gobble.......!
PS: Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and that you got to spend it with family and friends that you REALLY like ;)
