The ultimate table

(click to enlarge, just being considerate to those who were unaware of that, and yes, I know most of ya were already familiar with how that works, stop glaring at me or I might just cry, I mean it, lol.)



(Afterthoughts)
I cut that out from "The Order of the Stick." Now that is nothing like how I have ever eaten but always did fantasize about a little bit. (Honestly, I totally swear that is true lol.)

Tick tock goes the mouse ...

Today's report is that there is nothing to report haha. I do have one question for y'all though. Just what could you have gotten started on if ya hadn't wasted time reading this, MUHAHAHA.

(Afterthoughts)
Yeah, that was mean lol, but I just want to know why I'm even writing an afterthoughts?

Tech makes life soooo easier

Sometimes, I hate computers, I mean really, really hate them. My laptop has needed reformatted for quite a while now but I've been putting off fixing it since I've been too tired and just been too stressed with everything trying to get my liver in shape to dedicate the time to it. So I finally decided that the time had come since things are going better for me to get that project over with. 3 hours later and the reformat is done and I go to install AVG it totally locks up on me while it is updating. Ack!!! Can't get it to respond at all. And I can't do a hard shut down to try to reset it because my power button broke a couple months ago (I've been turning it on thru the dvd player/ media touch sensitive button.) So I tried unplugging it, wait, it's a laptop, it has a battery, damn. That's OK, the battery will drain in a couple of hours and shut down. No, actually it won't since I hadn't reset the power options to keep it from going into power save mode. Damn, if I keep waking it up I might get it drained in about a day. Just when I'm starting to cry from pure frustration, it clicks in my mind that battery power also means that the battery can be removed to kill it for a bad hard reset. However since it is really late, and I worked today (I still consider it saturday since I haven't been to bed yet and the sun has not yet peeked over the horizon) I'm just gonna kill the juice to it and deal with it sunday, and most likely do another reformat. Blah. This isn't the first time I've had this happen but it usually makes me angry instead of wanting to cry, hooray for hormone induced emotions, which is actually the point of this post. And yes, I wrote this from my phone and while I could have used the time it has taken to blog this to have actually done some work on my laptop, I just needed to talk instead to make myself feel better (yeah, yeah, typical girl thing, I know, but what else did ya expect lol.)

Product placement for your production pleasure

In a continuation of my constant bad product ideas, here is the latest: heat shrink condoms (made from heat shrink plastic of course.) And yes, they would be non-lubricated, MUHAHAHA.

(Afterthoughts)
Even I wouldn't want to comment on this lol. But for those who are unfamiliar with heat shrink plastic, it is usually used for tubing and permanently contracts when heat is applied to it, so yeah, it would suck for the guy haha.

Girl's movie night

Went over to a girls house after work for one of our girl's movie night. I took "Hoodwinked" since she had not seen it yet and it had been awhile since I had. Awesome clever and cute flick about the little red riding hood story told from the 4 perspectives of Red (dreams of excitement), Wolf (investigative reporter working on Red), Woodcutter (an unskilled actor), and Granny (into extreme sports). Very cute movie and extremely well thought out and presented.

(Afterthoughts)
If ya missed it when it came out, seriously go rent it, it is on my top 20 movie list somewhere lol. Oh, and I wore what was probably the cutest top with a pair of jeans that I picked up over the weekend. And our 2 ages average out to 30 but got asked at the drive-thru at McDonalds "are you kids just get back from the game?" What! We surely look old enough not to be at a high school game other than I could pass for a tall cheerleader (blech, hurts my dark soul to say that lol.)

Cleaning is a job for who?

Last night at work I had to mop the floor around #4's machine (right next to mine.) Did I do that just to nice? I thought so up until the point where he said, ''I'm not mopping, that's womans work.'' Yes, that is what he actually told me lol.

(Afterthoughts)
He is lucky he is such a good friend, lol.

Wait, I said what?

Just a quick teaser for y'all. One of the reasons #4 seriously thinks I am insane due to my antics at work is this argument we had last night. He apparently assumes everyone he talks to is NOT a Nazi and complained how they are all inherently evil. So I debated on their behalf (after all I could be a secret one, it wouldn't be the first secret I've ever had, lol.) I even argued that the ham sandwich he was eating could have come from a pig loving raised and cared for by Nazi farmers (makes sense cause its a cloven hoofed animal which certain people refuse to touch.) There was a lot more to that conversation but ya kind of get the idea.

(Afterthoughts)
Yep, I really went there, so much for politically correctness or something. And no, I'm defintely not a Nazi lol.

Weekend is over, time to rest ;)

I had a great weekend with the girls and picked up a few new outfits (shopping, hooray lol.) I also spent half the weekend at my mom's for my sister's birthday and she loved the Mickey Mouse barrettes and the $100 Kohl's gift card. She needs some new clothes for work (art teacher for the little school kids) and she was sooo happy and I had to go pick out clothes with her Sunday. I also sold my go-kart finally and strained my back again (hurt it Thursday also) loading it into the guy's truck. Told my mom I started the meds that week and she asked kind if nasty what they were for (been over it before, I can't sleep) so I told her they were so I could see in color, no more color blindness. She dropped the conversation after that and let things be lol. I also picked up season 11 of South Park and watched some of that at my friends house (her and the girl she's dating loved the lesbian bar episode lol.) All in all had a wonderful time and wish I could have stayed longer but I haven't figured out how to draw a paycheck without showing up for work yet, but I'm working on it lol.

(Afterthoughts)
My back aches and I'm exhausted, but I feel great and that is what matters the most :)

3 day weekend

Heading up north tomorrow close to my moms house (about 10 minutes away) to have an all girl weekend, sort of. Friday is us girls clothes shopping, mostly for my pathetic wardrobe. Saturday is my sister's birthday so it's family time for that then back to quality girl time with my friends again sat night. The family won't be happy that I'm doing this but, sorry, this is for me and I need it. They had me to themselves 2 weeks ago for an entire weekend but Liz needs some time with friends also and I am taking it.

(Afterthoughts)
I need a bubble bath for my brain.

When did you get home young lady?

Ok, I got back to my house at, um, (shush, 6 am) hee hee. I went over to my friends place after the bar and since little mister lightweight #4 pretty much crashed rather quickly, I sat around and chatted with his bf. That was really nice to have the chance to get to spend some time talking to him for a while with just the two of us. I love the both of them dearly but it was nice having #4 out of the picture at the end of the night since I know him fairly well but haven't had much of an opportunity to get to know his bf one on one (sorry #4 but you get 8 hours with me everyday lol.) That actually made going out tonight worth it and I'm really glad I did.

(Afterthoughts)
Those late nights often are the best ones there are.

Weekend was sooo fun (sarcasm if ya missed it)

Yea, I spent half my weekend in bed praying I would blackout. I'm in just enough pain to keep from sleeping more than a half hour tops. It pretty much sucks, been thru it before and will have it again so whining time is over lol.

Time for product placement, hee hee. Tried out Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen (in Dusk, which is a nonsensible description for pink lol.) I'm rather pleased with it, none of that messy bottle stuff, it is an all-in-one pen that ya click the top to dispense the polish into the tip, kind of like a paint marker. I also got a bottle of Milani Nail Lacquer in Diamond Dazzle, which is basically clear coat with glitter, and looks uber cute over other polish making it all sparkly. Oooohh, sparkles .... what, oh, sorry, got distracted by the sparkly goodness lol.

I didn't get much time spent on my new PS3 game, Monster Madness Grave Danger. It is a lot of fun (not very girly but I still like it.) The video is the xbox version of the game since it has been out alot longer and the PS3 version just came out last week.

Pretty + blah = pretty blah, bwahahaha.

Seeking: one replacement spine

After all the probably good news yesterday, I spent an exhausted night at work and wasn't really paying attention (or really caring) to what I was doing. Usually no problem, I run fairly well on automatic. However I pushed my back too hard lifting stuff I shouldn't and about an hour before my shift was over, the pain kicked in. It was bad enough that I could barely move without feeling like I was gonna pass out (and wishing that I would). It's from an old back injury 4 or 5 years ago and when I strain my back it feels like my ribs and stomach are full of knives (not the nice sharp ones either, more like the dull rusty ones lol.) So I left and came home an hour early and cried on my bed until I finally blacked out, hooray. Gonna try going into work today and hopefully not put too much stress on my back tonight. It still hurts but is definitely feeling better since the pain has moved into my back instead of pulling in my chest.

Law of averages says something bad happens for everything good.

I want an angry shirt for everyday of the week (just kidding)

I'm gonna get around to posting some pictures of those shirts, I promise it will be soon. Been doing too much girl talk on the phone after work (ok, so there is no such thing as too much lol.) I have just been rather busy and will get to it as soon as I can lol. I could have done that today but a video game I have been wanting that was supposed to be out yesterday which Gamestop told me was actually going on the shelf today, was not in with today's deliveries much to my disappointment. Good thing I have learned to call before I make the drive to the mall anymore lol. So I spent the day calling all the game shops in town just to find out I should have spent my time doing something else (actually anything else I guess lol.) Oh well, that's how it goes in the eternal cat and mouse game of video game shopping lol.

(Afterthoughts)
I need my game fix!

Too damn cute, apparently

Ya can't really tell in the picture on my last post but that shirt is a really pretty teal-ish color. But I am wearing it today and walked down to the gas station. The woman working behind the counter said my shirt was sooo cute and asked me a bunch of questions about it. Then when I was leaving she told me that I looked really adorable wearing it. LOL. It hadn't actually crossed my mind but I have to admit that even some of my darkness has taken a girly flavor to it. I'll be damned but that shirt really did turn out rather cute, totally by accident, I swear lol.

(Afterthoughts)
I have no idea how a severed bunny head could turn out cute, I really don't, but somehow it did and I like it even better for it ;)

New shirt image

In case you can't quite read it, it says "BEING ANGRY MAKES ME HAPPY."



(Afterthoughts)
Yes I really did draw that design, I should be selling those lol.

Far, far away (for a day or two)

I'm back after a relaxing weekend at my mom's house (3 1/2 hours away) or at least as relaxing as it can be with 3 little boys running around like tiny crazy people lol. It was nice to get away and be there with them and my mom and my younger sister and my brother-in-law who made an appearance a couple hours before I took off. The oldest boy ended up running around wearing my pajamas over his clothes for about an hour yesterday :) and my mom sewed me 4 new "Happy Bunny" shirts and 1 shirt that I designed at work last week on her embroidery machine. I have 2 other bunny shirts that she sent me in the mail so I now have an entire weeks worth of t-shirts with bunnies on them. (Ironically the one I drew was also bunny themed, but true to form now quite as cute as the others, muhahaha.) I'm gonna try to get some pics up of them, probably just the shirts themselves since that will be easier (and quicker) and since I'm lazy, yeah, I'm probably going that route lol.

The youngest boy (1 1/2) has become an even greater terror every time I see him and also manages to get cuter along with it. The older 2 have leveled out in that respect (for now lol) but still wear me out. They woke me up Saturday morning after I had managed to get a few hours of sleep after I got to mom's at 3 am but I then managed to actually get 8 straight hours of sleep that night plus a few more hours after that and felt halfway rested for once this morning (hooray for Ambien lol.) It was a rather uneventful weekend and allowed me to enjoy hanging out with my family. It was a distraction I rather needed and kept me from pacing around my house trying to burn off frustration (and avoid cleaning lol.)

(Afterthoughts)
If I can manage to get as good of sleep all week like I did last night I just may be in danger of going from exhaustion to merely tired lol.
