Sunday, April 02, 2006 Guilty as charged.......

Yes, I have been neglecting to my blog. Sorry, life has gotten crazy. I started a new job last week. And the week before, I had papers due for school. I like my new job. I work for Navy Federal Credit Union. I have also been a life long member of the bank as well. I like it there so far. Excellent benefits. You can't beat them. I just started my technical training though, so I am learning the ropes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

J.R. had her birthday on the 21. I can't believe she is already 6. Boy time goes by so fast. We went to Cici for her birthday dinner. I made her cupcakes and brought them into her class. Not to mention, it was the first day of spring and it snowed!!!

Mamma's little man got lucky he stayed home with momma, cause he got to lick from the cupcake bowl.

Then we decided to get some help from the dog....

Someone got caught with his hand in the cookie jar (also, notice the necklace around hi neck, yep metro....

Here is JR at school when I brought her cupcakes to school...

Here are some pictures of the snow, notice the flowers on the trees.

my mom got princess tinkerbell an outfit and it is her favorite color.....Pink, she is all pinked out from top to bottom, those are pink cowboy boots. Don't mind the floor, we are getting our floors done....

-------------------------------------------------------------

well, I spoiled myself. I did it, I got me a dooney bourke. I love it. I got it off of eBay for half off.

got to look fabulous at my new job.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Edited to add....we were suppose to be getting the floors laid today, but atlas, things have been put on hold indefintaly...why you may ask, well lets take a looksy...

It is funny, I mentioned to my huband and the guys who are doing my floors, why is the fridge leaning, oh it is the way the cabinets are or the subfloor is. Well yeah it is the way the subfloor is, it ha black mold on it.

Tuesday, March 14, 2006 What not to do when you are....

PMSing. I start PMSing 2 weeks before aunt Flo comes. I suffer from horrible PMS. But anyways....

What not to do when you are PMSing....

Buy girlscout cookies....They will be the death of you. Them damn little bitches hanging out in front of Walmart asking you if you want some cookies.

Talk to any customer service agent, especially those that are outsoured an not from this country. You will find yourself talking to people you can not understand and being passed around like a cheap whore...not a good thing. Lucky for them I was on hold for so long after the fourth person I talked to, because they were about to be cussed out.

Go grocery shopping, you will feed your chocolate cravings. Eddy's Dibs...they are a bad bad thing.

*************************************

Note to self...buy my sis a camera phone. My sis was at school last night and she saw a guy who wore the most horrendous pants..basically they way she described them was, the back part of the pant were ripped all the way down, basically she saw were dudes boxer shorts ended, and the only thing holding the jeans together was the sting down the crack of his ass, you know what holds the panels together. Yeah, Fug Thursday Hall of Fame? I know people want to make a fashion statement, or some kind of statement, but you think that is a bit much?

Monday, March 13, 2006 Bargain Shopping.....

I am trying to accesorize for my new job, and I do not have a watch. I paid a visit to overstock.com and found this beauty at a steal. It is a Lucien Piccard and retail value of $325, I paid about $50 for it. I love to shop and find bargains and save money. Especially when they are having major sales at my favorite store and I get discounts up the thing yang. I have save tons of money there.

*********************************************************

Now that I am getting this job I will need to drop one of my classes. So this weekend I spent scrambling around trying to find a replacement class with no luck. It is an elective. All I have left is three electives and two core classes and I am done with my BBA. So I went over to the CC website to see if I could take a class and have it transferred. This got me thinking, I went there back in 98-99'. So why not see if I happened to pass any of my classes and have it transferred. Went down there today, and I am in luck, I passed three classes. One is not transferable because I had it transfered from my old college in MO. But I have a Spanish and Criminolgy class that I am positive will transfer. So that is two classes I can use as electives and take my last elective class I have been trying to get into and then my last two classes and I am DONE!!!!!

**********************************************************

YUCK! My belly is giving me issues. I am so nauseated, my phenagren is calling my name, but I have to pass. I hate it when it gets this bad, especially when I can't take my meds, because I will be laid out and I have my Volunteer work tonight.

********************************************************

Updated*** Phengran was screaming in my ears, I had to give in and take the pill, I feel yucky. So I should be getting some relief soon.

Friday, March 10, 2006 My son, the metrosexual......

My son, he is a metosexual.

Fist, let me say, he is also, all boy. he loved playing in the dirt, roughhousing, and heloves anything with a motor, i.e. cars, airplanes, motorcylces, boats. He freaks out over this stuff. But at the same time, he has to be dressed to impress, and he is only 2. He has to have to look good, and he will fight me on what he wants to wear. He plays with babydolls. BTW, not a big deal to me. But I go into the girls room and he was on JR's top bunk, and he was playing with his cars, He said to me, Mommy, the babies are sleeping in "Princess Tinkerbell's" bed. I look down and he three baby dolls in her bed all covered up. He is such a sweetie. However, I think his favorite color is pink. He wants his sister's pink blanket all the time and fought with his sister on her strawberry Shotcake placemat. Then there are the clothes he has put on. Evidence below.

*****************************

The Talk with JR.....

I picked JR up from ballet, and as we were at the last she asked me why "Dickhead" doesn't go to Grandma's house anymore, he is my moms ex-dickhead. I told her that they broke up.

Like Mimi (my sis) and Uncle C?

Yes, darling.

Well you and daddy break up?

No baby, me and daddy are married, we will not break up.

So our conversation was about me Big Daddy getting married. Then she asks me, how did me, sissy and bother get in you belly?

Well baby, Daddy and I love each other very much, so we decided we want to have a baby and we made you.

Then she asks me how we made her.....

UH, honey let me think about it and I will get back to you on it. I still thinking about what to tell her......I don't want to lie but don't want to give her to much info if you KWIM.

She is so cute though, her new saying is.."Don't you know?" I will ask her to do something or get something and if she did it already or know where it is or has it who will say it and then "Don't you know?" Such a smarty pants.

**************************

I had a job interveiw yesterday. It was for a bank, actually th one I belong to as a Call Center Account Representitive. It was a long four hour process. I had to go through 4 diffrent tests. The firt test was a simulated call center. And you had to answer questions (multiple choice) during the call and navigate the screen and input information. I thought I did decent on it. And she asked me how I thought I did, and I told her I thought I did well, I know I messed up a couple of areas, but I know my mistakes. So she looked at my scores. I see a 99 for computer skills and then these 30's 50s and 70s. I think to myself, GREAT!! This isn't good. She said, Wow, you did excellent. I did? She told me that the passing scores are like 7, 8, 3, etc, and here I was in the 30s, 50s and 70s. My next test was Math, Alike or not alike speed accuracy and the questionaire on ethics. When she meet me and lead me out she told me that I did exceptionally well on all my tests. After speaking with me and getting the Call Center manager I over heard her tell the manager that I got 90s on the other tests. They told me that I would be hearing from them in 2-3 days about the positions. They had to have othe people look at it, run a credit check, and check my refrences. Wouldn't you know they called me this morning. I was sleepign because I worked last night and I called back around 130. She had called me twice. She said "I have been calling you all morning." I apologized and explained I had woked last night and I was sleeping. Well, she made me a job offer and I accpeted and I am to start on March 27th!! I am excited. They have excellent benifits and after six months I can tansfer positions. So I can move closer to my house. WOOHOO!! I am excited.

Sorry baby, but you are getting Fugged...

Today is

I told Big Daddy I was fugging him. He gave me this happy look, no sorry babe, it isn't a good thing so get your mind out of the gutter. Sorry baby, but it has to be done. He gave Mamma's Little Man a hair cup (as he calls it) and messed it up. Here is the evidence:

If you don't know how to do a fade or you mess up, please don't leave it the way it is...shave it off.

Sorry babe, you been fugged.

(sorry this is early, going to work tonight and I have an interveiw tomorrow so I will not be home at all)

Welcome to

Hosted by The Kept Woman

This week's assignment is....
You put what in your hair? Football Widow came up with this week's theme of bad hair accessories of the past (bows that could eat your head, satellite dish silver lame headbands, etc.)...boys, you know you thought you were all cool rockin' the sideways baseball cap and yes, that counts...

Ok, I really did not use hair accessories, but my biggest foe that I used in my hair was the hairspray. The first example is not my picture, the one I have is at my mother's house. But do you remember the late 80s/early 90s, and the "bangs"? The higher the better. If you achieved 10 inches you were a goddess. Well this is the best example I could find that represented this awful redemption of the bangs....

What were we thinking about during this time period? What made us think this was cute? I am glad this era is over, and lets not get retro with hair for this time period...PLEASE

Next sample of the hairspray problem is from 11th grade. It is not bad, and may not seem like it, but I had to make sure every single piece of hair was in place.....

When a girl's best friend is hairspray, then AquaNet is the product to use. Cheap and trust me, your hair was not moving.

My last sample is....

Yep, synthetic hair. I bought it and while I wore it, it was all mine.

Tuesday, March 07, 2006 My Cooter is gone....

My Cooter is gone....he has died. I knew he was going to go here soon, he didn't look to good today and laying on the bottom of the tank. At least The Frog Prince II is alive and kicking. However, my sis's frog, Herpe, passed this past weekend. I think my family needs to stay away from the aquatics.

Could he be deceiving me???

So, Big Daddy quite drinking about 6 months ago. I am very happy he did. Yesterday, I was going through my closet looking for my black heels from my job interview, and I had two bottles of liquor in there from my graduation last June. I haven't checked them recently, but I hid them there so Big Daddy wouldn't drink them up. And after he quit I was going to dump them out, but never did. Well not to long ago he had put something in my closet and I hear the clank of the bottles. Yesterday, there was only one bottle in there, and it was empty. He said he drank them a long time ago. I am not sure though. I am not sure is I can believe him. But what proof do I have. I would be upset that he drank, but I would get over it, just as with any addiction, there will be relapses. However, it is the lying that makes me upset. If you did, tell me so we can work through it, don't lie to me about it.
