I'm a bit bored.
Yeah, sure, there's a million things I could be doing. I COULD do the rest of the dishes, or clean up the house or go get Little T's laundry up from the basement, or I could even take a shower and start getting ready for work. But I don't really want to do any of those things, and I'm starting to get sick so I think I should just sit on my Tush and not do nothin'. (Including using proper grammar.)
Over the past few months I've taken various pictures on my camera phone, some with the intent to blog about, some just because I saw something cool/funny that I wanted to remember and some... I have no fucking idea why I took them. Today, I loaded them all up onto Vox and I'm going to have a show and tell.
Exciting, huh?
...A bit of a warning... you might want to get comfy, 'cause there's a lot of 'em.
Me, with freakishly curly and reddish hair. (In the Terrorist's bathroom)
Lesley and I laying on the benches at Ikea, waiting for her couch. Fuck, I loved that couch. It was a little on the soft side but it was so big and cozy and wonderful.
A picture of one of the first cloves of garlic to ever enter my woman-ness (sorry I've been reading romance novels lately) I believe the keys are there for scale. I haven't had those key chains in ages. That was taken a LONG time ago.
I really don't know why this picture was taken. I believe it was to convince Chris to come hang out with us. I don't think it worked.
These two were taken the morning of Adian's 6th birthday. (I think it was 6th.) We had breakfast and then went swimming at the local-ish community center. It was a lot of fun. Miss those two terribly.
This picture sucks. And as stated in the last post I'm lazy and don't feel like fucking with the levels on it to make it clearer. What it is... two bottles of NightTrain a bit bottle and a little bottle. The T got the big one, I got the little one, we proceeded to drink them all then had my first drunken sex experience. I'm sure there was more to it then that, but those are the key points... And I remember the sex well, it was some good lovin'.
My friend Kathrine uses the handle "SexHead" for all her online adventures so I decided to show her that she's not the only one who suffers (is it really suffering though?) from Sexhead.
It's a cervix made out of soap!!
This flower was at the gate to our front yard. I'm sure it's dead now but when I took this picture it was still doing well even though it was REALLY freakin cold outside.
It's a mouse cheese grater!!! How cool is that?!?!?!
Apparently you can buy vibrators at Freddie's now. I love the fact that they write "Personal Massager" on it and have a picture of a chick on the cover. They could at least try to be a bit more discreet. Any-who, it's good to know that if my "personal massager" breaks I don't have to go far to get another one.
At work we've been having a lot of waste at the end of the night so we've started discounting certain items to $1 after 8pm. When I got to work after my weekend this is the sign that the 19 year old supervisor created to inform our customers about our deal. It says "All Pastries on the top shelf are just $1 today. (Smiley Face) Awesome people love pasties." I was the first one to notice the typo. We decided to leave the sign up until someone commented on it and it took about a month or so.
Ps. If you're interested... Take a warm block of cream cheese, blend it with half a bottle of Hickory Smoke BBQ sauce, dice up an onion, a green pepper and a tomato, put the blended stuff down first, layer the other things on it and top with shredded cheese. It's delicious. Or just really addicting.
Okay I think that's it for picture time. I need to go smoke a cigg and make the kid some lunch then get ready for work even though I really don't want to go because I don't feel good and it's cold and it's going to be busy as all fuck.
Disclaimer: There will be more bitching about the snow in the post. I know it's kind of a reoccurring theme lately but since I've been stranded inside for the past week because of all the snow... that's pretty much all I have going on in my life.
I haven't worked since Friday because of this shit. And then it was only for half a shift because we were closed the early part of the day. Before Friday it was Tuesday. A week ago.
When I moved to Oregon part of it's appeal was the lack of snow. Sure it snows once and awhile but thats cool because it's enough to shut down the city for a day but then it's gone by the next day. It's a good thing I fell in love because Oregon has lost the lack of snow appeal. It's been snowing off and on since LAST Sunday. It's been bad since Saturday. Today is day 4 that I've basically been stranded inside. As the Terrorist has noticed over the past few days... I don't handle confinement well. I can handle it, it's not like I'm going to go psycho and do anything crazy but I don't like it. It's not so much the fact that I have to stay here all the time, it's KNOWING that I can't really leave if I wanted/needed to. What if there was an emergency and I had to go someplace?! I'd be stuck.
Anyway... Here are some pictures...
Tomorrow it's supposed to be crappy and snowy again... BUT... it's supposed to be mid 30's which will hopefully allow some of this shit to start melting. But even if it doesn't the temp is supposed to go up on Christmas Day and it's supposed to start raining which will hopefully melt the majority of it. Hopefully.
This is a momentous occasion.
The first blog entry on a new computer.
I feel like I should be sipping champagne instead of chugging coffee. Though I don't think the champagne would help alleviate my caffeine withdrawal headache.
Anyway. I should be playing and exploring my new computer and all of the awesome things it can do but before I do that I feel as though I should take a few minutes to declare to the world what an awesome boyfriend I have and show some pictures.
UPS got here at about 340p or so. The T has been working on getting Philotes (my new computer) up and running in one facet or another from that point to about 30 minutes ago (10p). The man has persistence!! Everything is working and though I haven't gotten around to using it, apparently it has all the voodoo magic installed in it to play encrypted DvD's and what not. (I run Linux on my computer so it needs special love to run that sort of stuff.) Now he's giving Bacchus a face lift and a dust off and deciding whether or not he's good enough be a Christmas gift to Little T or if he's too old and withered in which case he'll be a "your computer sucks, here's one that sucks a little bit less" gift. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I'm having a bit of separation anxiety. I get a bit sentimental at times and this would totally be one of those times. While the T was cleaning him off, it took me about 20 minutes or so before I could just walk away and come into the bedroom to test out my new one. Granted, part of the reason I stayed out there was because I have a forearm fetish and the T has some MAJORLY sexy forearms... especially when gripping pliers to turn screws and using screwdrivers and other things of that sort that would be done while cleaning out and disassembling a computer... mmmm... oops I'm getting sidetracked. Anyway, he (Bacchus) is being passed on to a good kid who will hopefully get as much use out of him as I did.
Now, it's time for a few pictures...
This is the blanket of dust/dirt/hair/godonlyknowswhatelse that called my computer home. That thing was so fucking dirty I'm amazed it worked as well as it did. The T use to volunteer at Free Geek where he would see a lot of gnarly, gross computers. Mine was the yuckiest he's ever seen!! That makes me oddly proud.
The guts. After it had been cleaned a little bit. The outside wall on the left part of the photo, the part with all the pictures. That's where the blanket of dust was pulled from.
Now I should go shower and take a nap because I'm working all day tomorrow at the restaurant. But I kind of want to play more. :-)
It's been fucking insanely hot this week. Okay so not really that hot but hot for this area. I like the heat, it's nice and good and wonderful as long as I don't have to actually do anything. If I can sit around all day doing nothing or just go to the beach then it's a wonderful thing.
Unfortunately life isn't like that, so more often than not when it's hot it's just uncomfortable.
Today, is rainy.
According to the Radio it's going to be rainy and stormy all week. Thundershowers type stormy.
I can't say I'm bothered by this.
I fucking love thundershowers. They're one of the greatest weather things ever. Rainy days are good for being lazy. The best thing to do on a rainy day is cuddle up in bed with that special someone and just veg all day. That sounds glorious. Though, totally not going to happen but I could wake the kid up and make him go watch movies with me in the magical bed. Somehow, it's not quite the same. :-)
Speaking of Little T. What the fuck? He's still passed out. He's NEVER slept this late. I was actually a little bit worried about him because of this I thought about checking to see if he was breathing but he's moved a bit so I wont go in there armed with a mirror to hold under his nose. It's very weird though.
I totally forgot my cds. I got a spindle of CD-R's so I could make some more work cd's and I could burn all the pictures from Nates vacation to cd for him. (Still haven't heard from him.) But I fucking forgot the fuckers on my ironing board. Oh well, I can at least get shit ready to burn that way when I have them tomorrow I wont have to fuck around with that.
Ohh shit. I should go google home made claydough while I'm thinking of it.
Little T is awake. I can see him sitting up in bed looking out the window. I used to do that when I was a kid on rainy days wake up and just stare out the window before admitting to the world I was awake. I also used to do it here when the T would get up before me. But that was usually to shoot very mean glares to the construction workers who were being so fucking loud they woke me up. Bastards.
This has been an enlightening experience for me.
The first day, was terrifying.
Everything about it, getting up early, getting there a few minutes late, taking flack from the T about the lateness. Then when the Terrorist left... Oh, Jesus. That was the worst part.
The day, DRAGGED.
That was by far the worse day. Even though the next day he threw whiney fits up the wazoo. That first day sucked.
It's gotten a billion and ten times better since that first day.
Thank god.
What I've learned...
- Kid entertainment is weird these days... Bionicles. What the hell is that shit? Some of the Cartoon Network Cartoons are okay but Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon are just fucking bizarre.
- Apparently the Loch Ness monster is some old dinosaur that was frozen then reanimated. (Little T can give you a lot more details but personally I think it takes the mystery/excitement/adventure out of it.)
- I now know why stay at home mom's get freakishly happy at the end of summer. Don't get me wrong, He's a great kid and I love hanging out with him, but I miss having more than a day (or two) a week to myself. I look forward to the start of school, because I'll have more free time (and more job availability) and because he'll hopefully get a few friends.
- A good book will keep him quite for (almost) as long as a movie.
- Father and son can be amazingly similar even if kid didn't grow up around dad. (They are both SOOO literal!! Little T more so in ways such as.. "Wait a minute..." Then a minute later... "Megan, it's been a Minute!" Drives me nuts! The T isn't quite that bad but I'm sure it's just something he grew out of.)
- Kids can eat an amazing amount of food. (Well I don't know if it's all kids or just this one... but sweet jesus the boy can eat!!)
- This whole ordeal has given me some insight to my sister. She was 27 (my age) when her oldest was 9 (Little T's age). I don't know how she did it... especially with 2 kids!! Amazing.
Plan for the night... get home at a semi-reasonable time. Smoke. Maybe hang photos. Watch cheesy dance movie. Pass out... sleep for... as long as possible.
I don't know why but the girls being away has inspired me to get shit done. I've made a few random todo lists here and there but this one is going to be the mutha-load. All the stuff I've been putting off. All the stuff that's minor and probably shouldn't be on a ToDo list... everything.
I tried getting LIttle T to help me but I've learned that having a 9 year old as a personal assistant isn't a great idea... they're forgetful as hell!!
- Get pics from Walgreen's (Done!)
- Decorate wall with them
- Laundry (Done! ... Plus I did all of the T's and Little T's ... Yes I'm Amazing!)
- Clean (done) , clean, clean.
- Attempt to organize photos.
- Call/Email landlord about tub/rent. (Done!)
- Mail cards. (Done!)
- Convince mom to help me with computer endeavors.
- Talk to Katie (Done!... She is freakishly in love!)
- Check Mail. (Done!)
- Find another book to read. (Done for now)
- Get music to make Cd's
- Organize adult stuff. (Bill type things)
- Find job (I'm realizing how much I hate job hunting. Especially in this market. New Goal - 3 resumes a day)
- Get gas (Done.. $12 to fill my tank! ..granted I was only 1/4 down but still!)
- Register to vote. (Done!)
- Pay utilities (Will be done before the end of the night... well tomorrow at the lastest)
- Go to bank. (Done!)
- Pick up Check/Get boxes for Alex/Get Alex's phone number (Done)
- Google "Making Pizza" to find a good/kid friendly pizza making ideas (that aren't english muffin pizzas.)
I left a few empty spots for when I remember all that other shit I want to do.
Now I must go pass out like a fuck and get up early and get coffee and go watch LIttle T and some how figure out how to make cleaning my apartment fun for him.
I fucking love Guster.
Old Guster. When they dropped the hand drums it made me very sad.
Talked to Nathan and Kathrine today. Apparently Nate has chosen to save the voice mail which means I now need to plan for his demise.
I did EVERYTHING on my Todo list. Well, everything except for the picture/Walgreen's thing. But even when I put it on there I knew it wouldn't happen.
It was a really easy todo list though.
Fuck it got late, I need to go get in the shower.
The girls leave tomorrow.
Sad. Happy. Excited.
Todo List
- Actually get pictures ready
- Finish cleaning room
- Mail rent.
- Email John
- Get music together to make Cd(s)
- Send cards (even if some are almost two months old)
- Go through paperwork/bills/adult stuff.
- Don't smoke too much.
- Love life.
My plan was to smoke some reefer and blow off everything that I should do and do stuff I want to do.
I fell asleep. Opps.
And when I woke up my headache was worse than before.
I tried smoking more, I tried masturbation and currently I'm trying coffee. Maybe it's a caffeine thing.
So far... nothing is working.
I'm torn I want to get out of the house and do things (by things I mean one of two things, 1. going to the caldera 2. going to the terrorists) but I don't have the energy to move. The idea of showering and getting purdy to go up to the Caldera sounds kind of nauseating. Same with the Terrorists place. Though I don't need to get "purdy" to visit, human interaction just doesn't sound appealing, plus I think I need to force myself to have some solo time. Since watching Little T the amount of time I have to myself has rapidly dwindled and I fear if I don't force some on myself on occasion I might get a little grumpy after awhile. One thing I've learned that's actually kind of cool about getting older is the self awareness you develop and it's also kind of cool to be able to call my mom and have an actual conversation with her and be able to listen to the (awesome) advice that she gives without being all weird and defensive-ish and teenagery about it.
Okay.
My brain is still scrambled. (I was hoping the caffeine would kick in
and make me feel more motivated and less pukish.) That's not the case
so I'm gonna create a "todo" list then I'm gonna go take a shower and
then I'm going to go to bed.
Todo List 1. (Stuff I need to do before going to bed)
- Get both phones ready to be mailed out.
- Put all stuff I'm taking with me tomorrow in a pile some place easily seen.
- Attempt to pick up room a bit. If nausea is too intense forget it
- Take long shower, shave, exfoliate.
- Look up computers w/ Jolene's discount.
- Anything else I may think of that I've been putting off.
- Be out of the house by 7.55a
- Mail phones.
- Check Po Box.
- Get gas.
- Mail a resume or two.
- Possibly write out a cover letter for the Caldera.
- Finish picking out photo's for wall
- Possibly bring chosen photo files to WalGreens for printing.
I need to go take a shower.
Bye
I've been meaning to get around to this for awhile now, but between work and kid care I just haven't had the time.
Last week, Wednesday I think, Nathan's mom had to put down one of there dogs. She was old and riddled with cancer and though they original plan was to let her pass naturally they realized that she was in too much pain for that so they decided to have her euthanized.
I know I have tons of pictures of her but for some reason I can't find a single one, I think the majority aren't on digital media and those that are have seem to gone missing.
She was a great dog! (If she liked you.) Almost always came when you told her too. I wish I could have gotten up there to say goodbye before they put her down.
I love ya Juba and I'm sure there's a big pooch in the sky waiting for you with some Chips Ahoy and Orange Juice.
Vacation is over.
Nate is sitting over in the C concourse waiting for his boarding time.
I'm sitting here at Coffee People waiting for the Terrorist to get out of work... or for me to get bored, whichever comes first.
It's different with Nate leaving. Generally I'm the one to leave and though I am sad that I'm leaving my friends/family I'm also excited to leave Maine/go where ever it is that I'm going that I don't really get all that sad. That's not the case today.
Today it's just fucking sad.
We went shopping today which was fun.
Got a pretty new dress. Yay!
Even got a compliment from my coworker when I swung by here to get a drink. (And use the free wifi.)
Just got a call from the Terrorist. He's going to be here a lot sooner than planned so I'm going to end this.
If I don't procrastinate to much then pictures of the vacation will be up at some point.
