That word... Albuquerque is very hard to spell.
I had to spellcheck it.
insanity.
So I haven't written here in MONTHS.
I thought for sure my account would be gone or swallowed or SOMETHING.
But it wasn't.
So here I am.
I am thinking of changing the vein of this here bloggy and make it a place to dump my Nanowrimo writings amongst other random more "creative" things... since nobody really cares or reads it anyway, it's a good place to store crap right?
And maybe someone will steal it and make money off of it! *gasp*
I doubt it.
In case you're wondering, the following things have occured in my world:
*My boyfriend moved in with me and suddenly became amazing. I don't know what happened, but he RULES right now.
*I rescued a yorkie and I'm sick of him. LOL. We already have a dog and two dogs is too much. He's not part of teh "family" and I can't find him a home. It's all very sad.
*One of my slutty cats ran away, got pregnant,a nd had 5 kittens 6 weeks ago. I can't find homes for them either.
*Why am I running an animal rescue shelter zoo?!!!!
*Oh, and my youngest brother is living with me because my bio mom is completely insane.
the end.
Ah yes, another week coming down the pike! It's an evil thing, Tuesday. It lurks behind Monday where nobody really pays attention to it. And every now and again WAMMO! It sucker punches you in the FACE!!!
Oh well, I will survive.
I am lucky to even be here.
Why?
Well, I survived Chuck E Cheese (and all I got was a pocketful of plastic spiders)!!!
It all started on Saturday when I took my two children to visit my Aunt and cousins. We all decided to go to Chuck E Cheese. It's not the most wonderful place on the planet for an adult, but the kids have a blast. I've always felt a little scattered there because it's constant noise and chaos, but it's usually pretty painless. It has actually been over a year since I've taken my kids. More like 2 years, so they were super excited to finally go again.
Somewhere, in the span of 2 years the place has changed into some evil horrible level of hell that has not been named!!!
We went to a location near my Aunts house. However, there was a line of happy party goers trailing from the door. We figured a different location HAD TO BE better. So we drove over.
Boy were we wrong!
It had a line too!
A line we waited in for probably half an hour or MORE. We tryed to figure out a different place to go, but nothing really had the instant appeal of Chuck's for the kids, and we weren't quite sure where to go if we did think of something.
So wait we did.
It was not very fun, what with the family behind us being loud and obnoxious and the people in front not moving fast enough *steam*... when we finally got in (and had to be led to a table!!!) it was just a relief to get away from them!
But alas, there was another line to order food. With two of the slowest people in the world pushing the buttons. You'd think it was easy to pust the buttons for pizza... but I guess not. After waiting another 30 minutes or so THERE we finally got what we wanted.
I was a moron and somehow left my ATM card in my car, so I wasn't able to get what I wanted. The dumb token machines wouldn't take bills... it was a mess.
But we finally got what we needed (with the help of my cousin chipping in for the extra tokens) and we unleashed the children into the frenzy.
The one good thing about that place is that you don't really have to follow bigger kids around. When my kids were smaller (under 5 years) I'd have to follow them around and it was a pain, but now they are both pretty big and can hold their own. So we just chilled at the table and watched the great variety of crazy that was going on around us.
A point of particular note was the "Wack A Mole" mini game that we sat near. It was definitely made for smaller people, but giant grown ass men and women kept coming up to play... and HOG THE MACHINE. One girl was on her knees playing for a good 5 or so games in a row. It was seriously wrong... like... let the kids play you crazy fools!
Jacob actually really liked that game.
The game was just way too silly. The most ridiculous part being: You could wack every mole that popped up and max out your score and still only get about 8 tickets. LAME SAUCE ON A BUN.
Regardless, my kids were having a blast and that was the entire point of the exscursion.
I don't think us grown ups really got the good side of the deal.
First, it took them WAY TOO LONG to get us our food. We only ordered a pizza and wings, not that complicated.
Second, the food was sub par at best. The pizza was cold and had obviously sat around too long after they made it. The wings were SMALL and it almost seemed like we only got half an order. We stared longingly at everyone elses food as it passed, and it just seemd hotter and like there was MORE of it.
Third, we barely had enough food and we were still super hungry after it was all gone! My cousin and I dabbled over the idea of getting a little cake.
And so... after much hunger... we did!
It wasn't so bad actually.
After that poor exscuse for lunch we let the boys spend the rest of their tokens.
I let my older son go to the ticket counting machine himself. He seemed to do fine.
When my younger son was ready, I took him over.
One of the machines was broken.
The other two had kids using them.
I waited behind a girl who proceeded to take her tickets out ONE BY ONE, on a few were connected, and look at them for a few seconds before feeding them into the machine.
I wanted to kick her. Or grab her and do it myself or something.
I'm evil.
Meanwhile, we are waiting and some little boys jump in front of my son and sorta shove him aside. I said "Oh no, honey, we were here first" and I glared at them with much evil in my eyes. They ran away.
Good for them cuz I wanted to kick them too!
We waited another 30 minutes just to get our tickets counted. After that, my kids were able to go pick from the plethora of garbage and stupid crap that they put out as prizes. It's an insult that anything "cool" costs 1000 to 2000 tickets! who gets that many tickets?
NOBODY!!!!
So yeah, my sons ended up with a handful of plastic spiders and teeny tiny notepads.
Ridiculous.
We finally left and as we walked out we saw that the line had doubled in length and didn't seem to be getting any shorter in the wait time.
Oh bless our poor souls.
I'm not sure when I'll go to Chuck E Cheeses again. It's not really on my agenda.
ever.
I'm having some issues dealing with how I am processing time. It's almost as if I have something wrong.
Like... I can't remember what I've done and it seems like I did things a long time ago when it was really just last week.
How scary is that?!
Oh well.
So I was going to have a salad for dinner tonight, but after tabulating all of my calories for the day, I will only have eaten 700 calories. How crazy is that crap? I'm just not hungry.
I'm supposed to have at least 1200. That leaves me 500 random calories floating around.
So now I'm going to treat myself to a slice of pizza with my salad!
Just one slice... like a "normal" person. It'll be hard, but I want it and I shall have it! (maybe 1.5 slices... or 2, but don't tell the diet police!)
I just hate that pizza has so many calories when it's so good.
I wish I could eat more.
Of course, I will also try to burn at least 400 calories in my work out tonight. I'll probably work out for over an hour.
My work outs consist of manic Dance Dance Revolution. I like to use Work Out mode cuz it tells me exactly how many calories I'm burning. I love jumping around and seeing the cal counter go up and up and up! ha ha. I should also do some Pilates, but I always lose the motivation to change discs once I'm done with the DDR. I just get tired and want to stretch and lay down. ha ha.
I still have a goal of losing 10 pounds by my birthday in LESS THAN A MONTH.
It's scary.
It's not that I think 30 is OLD. I just think ME being 30 is wrong. It goes against all things good in the universe! haha.
I just don't feel like I should be at this point in my life. That's just the long and short of it.
I get lunch in 15 minutes.
I'm having a lean cuisine I've never tried before and I surely hope it tastes good.
It has double the vegetables!
wow!!! so amazing.
not really.
Wow, weeks are flying.
In a way I am glad for the time to go so fast. I want my Vegas birthday trip to come!
But in others I'm sad. So much time just going by and I feel like I need to be DOING SOMETHING.
But I think I'm not alone in that. Oh well. At least I have a job and my kids are happy.
I'm tired. I get to leave work in 15 minutes or so! whee!
My boobs hurt. I know you care. they are busting out of this bra and I don't know why. They fit the bra this morning. Oh well.
I am craving ginger.
I wonder what that means.
It's my new favorite spice of allll tiiiiiime.
I guess I'll go. I'm being boring.
Did I mention I got Netflix and I love it?
Well I did... and I do.
I'll be more interesting next time.
I had a really suck ass morning.
My old landlord was accusing me of stealing a heater when I left his place and I know I didn't. It had me all angsty and RAWR all morning...
Until he wrote me to say he found it and to apologize.
Damn right you better apologize! And do it on your face!!!! Lick my foot! Now!!!!
Unfortunately, I couldn't say that to him, but I wanted to.
Anyway, while all that was going on, all I really wanted was a drink.
How sad. I'm not an alcoholic but I have found myself wanting to take a swig or two a lot more than normal lately.
Anyway, that led to me making plans to go out to dinner tonight with the boyfriend. We're gonna have mexican food (I'm craving enchilada's like crazy for some reason...) and I'm gonna have a giant strawberry margarita... or something strawberry. That's what I crave!
MMM, can't wait.
It's the only perk of having my kids gone for 5 days a week, I can be an "adult" without worrying about what impression I'm giving them or needing a sitter and stuff. I will probably end up staying the night at the boyfriends house, which means I'll have to drive to work tomorrow. I guess that's not so bad and I might get a jump on traffic to go pick my kids up from my dads cuz I leave work an hour early too.
Oh bright sides!
But also boring.
Anyway, I've been working out all week burning at least 250 calories a session. This makes me happy.I really hope I'm super hot for my birthday in April.
VEGAS BABY. (I wonder what that's gonna be like. I'll probably be drunk for 2 days straight. That'll be a trip indeed...)
Argh. I'm boring myself to tears.
I guess I'll go stack some paper.
That's what I get paid to do.
ha ha...
I just took some Dayquil for no reason. I actually didn't JUST take it, I took it about an hour ago. The tingling is now spreading around and my head feels floaty and nice.
Why? Why would I do such a thing as take Dayquil at work for now reason?
Because I'm bored, and being a little loopy is entertaining.
My supervisor just said "Oh who did this! Jesus Christ Superstar!!!!"
*blink*
I'm not even kidding.
Maybe everyone is on Dayquil.
So I'm doomed for another lonely night at home.
I'm a bit sad, but what can I do? Nothing!
But I might get more phone time with the boyfriend. Unless he decides to go out with his friends AGAIN!!!!
Damn friends! Damn Damn Damn friends!!!!
I shall go home and cook and dance (ha ha) and try to learn some Spanish and then sleep a fitful sad sleep because I'm lonely.
It's just no way to liiiiiiive.
I'd so do Megan Fox.
So ... yeah.
what?
damn you dayquil....
Wow... so this once a week or every other week posting thing doesn't work for me.
I feel so disconnected.
Hi.
and how are you.
Are you special and frantic and overly romantic?
Pick one.
Ok, anyway, the move.
House is starting to look very "house ish"... but I still need to organize and clean.
I need a living room set.
Right now I have a fouton, a race car bed and a television... as my livingroom set. ha ha! There is something wrong with that.
I need a couch (or two) and endtables and like... a big cabinet for storage (this house has ZERO storage) AND YEAH....
I want to put my pictures up on the wall too.
oh a hoooome.
However... my landlord is a sleaze.
He asked me to go to a swingers party with him so he could watch me having sex and possibly get in on the action.
*blink*
Uhhhh.... no thanks.
my landlord is NOT attractive.
and he's got issues.
My kids are away cuz they aren't in school and so they are staying with my dad during the weekdays while i work.
but that doesn't mean i'm single and running around with my vagina out.
No.
I do have a boyfriend who I am quite happy with.
blah.
I have to tell him every time he comes around. ugh.
Anyway, that was gross and I ran inside the house hoping he'd go away. He called me like half an hour later, but I ignored it.
ew.... gross.
Anyway, I shall try to catch up on reading you all now. I hope i can!
I have 50 minutes of work left...
I have a wicked headache right now. It needs to go away.
I wish we had more control over our bodies.
It leads me to think about a conversation the Boyfriend and I had this weekend about the power of the human mind. I mean, on average we use about 10% of the capacity of our brains. Our brains basically interpret electrical signals that make up the entire world around us (this is my second grade knowledge, I really dont' know crippity crap about how the brain works. ha ha)... so it stands to reason (my second grade reason) that if our brains were operating at a higher capacity, would it be out of the question to believe that we would have more ability to manipulate the world around us?
Like... super hero stuff.
A super human brain that can manipulate our strengths and abilities.
I dunno. I think it's possible.
Of course, I also believe there will be a zombie invasion, the government is experiementing on us, and I'm probably a robot.
*blink*
WHAT!?!
Oh man, this month has been weird and it's far too short to be this strange.
I don't feel like I've had enough time to enjoy this thing called "February".
I've missed you, my neighbors. And I shall come back to read (maybe next week).
but for now, the questions stands:" Where did I go?"
Oh... Well the first week of my absence was spent with two sick children types. One with a stomach flu and the other with Strep Throat. Both at the same time. Quite odd, that.
Then this week it was the move and my current catastrophic house is making me nervous. I get to leave work in 2 hours... which is good because I want to get home and CLEAN.
I will only say that maybe 3 times a year... so there ya go.
I do like having my own space.
No more lingering roommates. No telling my kids to hush.
However, this house is a "duplex" i believe, with another small unit onthe back.
My bedroom shares a wall.
I think I heard the guy talking.
It means he might hear me having sex.
Never fear, I really don't care if he hears me.
Ha ha.
Whatever, I can't have sex right now.
You don't want to know.
but you probably already do.
oops, TMI, and I didn't warn you.
ha ha.
I flee!
