Damn Doves……

/

So I've got these damn doves that have decided that my balcony would be a good play to build a nest. Last year they keep messing things up and I decided I had enough of that. I started chasing them off with a broom (a very Okie thing to do). They kept it up till they had to lay these eggs. With all the broom action they didn’t have time to build a nest so they just laid them on my bicycle. Of course they just rolled off of that and crashed to the ground. Well that was pretty sad but damn it they should have been a little smarter than that. So they are back. They haven’t been trying to build a nest yet. I’m home 24/7 now so I have plenty of time to chase them off. Doves are good eatin’ but these things act like pigeons so I’m a little afraid to fry them up. Anyway… More to come on the Dove/Pigeon crisis!

Is one year too long?

How long is to long for your inspection sticker on your truck to be outta date? That's the question of the day. Well I did manage to get my tag mostly on time so I figured I'd go get my inspection too. Well It was pretty much 1 year to the day out of date. I passed with a little help from the highly paid and over qualified Jiffy Lube guy. My gas cap failed the good ole suction test, but with a finger over the little hole in the cap it passed with flying colors. Eighty five dollars later, I was out of there. Next time, front end alignment.

ACKkkkk!!!!

So with all the doom and gloom going on in my life lately, ya know the truck thing, the business thing, and everything else, yet another impending crisis looms over the horizon. I have to send my sunglasses back to RayBan. Those of you that know me of course understand what kind of stress this is putting on my system. Right now I need LESS stress and not MORE! Anyway, I need to attempt to find a suitable replacement for my glasses while they are in route to and from the mac daddy RayBan plant in the sky. These glasses I own have a flat finish on them. Well the finish is coming off. It may be normal where and tear but RayBan has been pretty good about taking care of my glasses. That's why I've spent the kind of money I have on them. Anyway, I guess this makes all the other problems in my life look pretty small, huh? NOT!

TGIF………

So it's Friday, I'm loosing my job, and well it's Friday.... So I'm pretty much not doing ANYthing here at work. So I figured I'd post even though I have absolutely nothing to say. I'm head to Rachel's (who is my most favorite ex-wife in the world) after work. I need to install her some Satellite so she can have some real TV and also setup and configure her new PC. Well it's not new but it's new to her. Hell it is damn near new. It's a 1.3Ghz system. Not a race horse or anything but a solid system that still kicks the crap outta the one she has now. I've already taken my 3 hour lunch today so I'm pondering the possibility of getting out of here early now. I'd like to get home in time to work on my resume before I leave, but I don't think that's going to happen.

What’s with TX schools….

/

When I was a kid we got out of school like three times all year. A day or so for Thanksgiving, a week for Christmas and New Years, and a week for spring break. That was pretty much it. Maybe a day or two thrown in her or there. Now in Texas it's a little bit different. Brandt gets 17, count em, 17 days off for Christmas. Hell that's long enough to forget where your school is even at. He got a week for Thanksgiving and lord only knows what they will get for spring break. They get every holiday on the calendar off, even MLK and Columbus day. Hell It wouldn't surprise me if they got flag day and arbor day off a well. This is all great for the kids except they have to go back to school in some cases the first week of August and they don't get out until well into June. If I was a kid I'd be pissed off, them messin with my summer vacation. Take me back to Oklahoma, where the grass is brown, the dirt is red, the roads are bad but at least we had three months of summer vacation.

Ok, so it's really more like 15 or 16 pounds but I don't want to get overly excited. What's scarry is I haven't really been trying much. Being on the right medication do make all the difference. Since I haven't had ANY heartburn I haven't had to keep my stomach full. Before I ate even when I wasn't hungry cuz I had to keep something on my stomach to hold everythign down. Now I only eat when I'm hungry. I'm liking it enough that I might just start heading back to the gym soon. :P

I know some of you have been good little girls and others have been bad girls. Santa is watching......

P.S. The commenting server is having some difficulty today. I'll give it some time and if it doesn't come back up I'll pull the commenting off. This is what is causing the Blog to load so slow.

YUuuuukkkkk……

Well it's pretty much definate, I'm sick. I'm about a 1000% sure I got it from that damn doctor. I went in there healthy as a horse, and now look at me. I feel pretty much like a big puddle of shit right about now. I knew I was in trouble heading to a place where all the sick people hang out. I'm not to a point where I can break away and go home yet but I'm getting close. I don't mind working sick but what sucks is this is my weekend to take Brandt and Jarrett to my mom's. We were going to do halloween there. As far and I'm concerned I'm still ready to hang with the boys. Anyway, I gotta get. I have a server calling my name.

Let’s just say……

/

OK... Strictly hypothetical situation here alright. Let's just say someone had been "NAGGING" you to go to the doctor for a very long time. Now you finally just wanted some peace in your world so you decide to go ahead and go. Knowing the guy is just a high priced witch doctor who behind the scenes is sticking pins in a doll that looks amazingly like yourself just so he has a little return business, you still go just to stop the insanity. Now let's just say that the "doctor" finds something or maybe it just doesn't go a pleasant as you would like, it's OK to blame that person, right? I think they must be held responsible for anything that comes out of that appointment. After all with out all the "NAGGING" life would still be perfect. Now keep in mind that this is strictly hypothetical, buuuuuutt...... I'll let you know tomorrow how the appointment goes.

A night at the fair……

/

So we went to the fair tonight. We meant to go early this afternoon, but I had some work coming in from the UK, so I had to take care of that first. So we got off late and then sat in traffic. It's about a 30 minute drive that took damn near two hours. After we finally got parked and started in we found out the traffic was due to a Dixie Chicks concert there. Now I like the Dixie Chicks as much as anybody. But I wasn't likeing them too much tonight. I had a pretty good time. It was alot of walking and we had a light rain most of the time, but other than that it wasn't too bad. And yes the freaks were out in force. They weren't as freaky as the freaks at the Delaware State Fair but they were still freaky. Tonight I also realized that fashion has evidently passed me by long, long ago. I think the thing I notice the most was some of the clothes these girls were wearing. They were wearing my most favorite colors, short and tight. I guess that's the deal now a daze. Now I'm not complaining or anything but I know if I had a daughter I wouldn't let her out of the house looking like that. She'd have to wear a long overcoat, a duster, or something to cover herself. Anyhoo.... It's way past my bed time. I really need my beauty sleep.

Go Jeff!!

Jerry Springer……

So things are kind of slow today. I took a break of doing the VPN thing on the firewalls and went and sat down on the couch to watch some TV. Well since our Satellite isn't hooked up yet I'm watching on normal TV which means my selection of channels is really limited. Of course since I'm in Dallas I have like 20 off the air channels. But then again I'm in Dallas so the only thing I can receive with out looking like a blizzard has overcome what ever show I'm watching is the Mexican channel. Now don't get me wrong those channels have by far the highest hot chick to normal chick ratio.... But let’s face it, I don't speak much Spanish. So the only thing I can even come close to getting a clear picture on is Jerry Springer. Now I knew I hated this show, but today I found that just hate doesn't even come close to how I actually feel about this show. I found myself getting physically ill watching this show. I was forced to turn the channel after about two minutes just because my eyes just could not watch any more. This is why it is imperative that we get our satellite up and running.....

Go Jeff……….

So do you never wake up at like 3am in the morning? The first thing you think of is MMmmmummmm.... Ya know what would be good right now, a big ole glass of coke. So you stumble out of into the darkness avoiding any type of light while at the same time trying not to stub your toe on some little land mine Brandt left. After a quick stop at the bathroom is off to the kitchen. I probably should have put on my sun glasses before opening the fridge but no such luck. So now I'm blind but I have my glass of coke. It's really, really cold with a lot of fizz. It's so cold and fizzy that when I drank it I made a face as if I just took a shot of whiskey. It kind of burned on the way down, but that's what makes it good. So I've satisfied that need now to address one more, sleep. Jump back in bed and off to dream land which apparently was very very good to me.

Go Jeff.....
