Crazy Weekend....

for me my weekend lasted until yesterday.

I just got back to work and it just feels weird being here.

My weekend started with Sunday Anniversary Party for my Aunt and Uncle we also went to Starved Rock.

The next couple days revolved around my car, oh the fun was definitely had. I went a little insane briefly. I'll explain in a later post.

Then Wednesday I had am action packed day planned. I ate breakfast with Dennis. I had to take Sarah her suit coats and have lunch, run over to the eye dr and have them straighten my glasses then go to see Jacki and the kids, play with the kids, get my costume ready and help Jacki with her Stamp camp and participate also.

Well things stopped at lunch with my sister. We were having a good time just finished eating and she got a call from her Dr. She had a spider bite looking thing on her arm and they were testing it it took 5 days to get the results back. Well she has what they were testing for and we both went into shock. I spend the rest of the day with her trying to keep her occupied. She is on really heavy antibiotics and it just makes her feel like crap. We tried just joking alot. We did watch a really good movie too, "Definitely, Maybe".

I was off yesterday too. I was so drained and couldn't get to sleep. I knew I would be useless at work and had shit to do. So I did some shit and hung out with Sarah during the day and watched Greys at night.

Today I am at work and just out of it kinda. My car got the check engine light finally so I am driving Dennis's car again.

Its all good just a quick update of me.

Britney is back...

Check out the video below. Love the song. Love the video. Love the man.

Hottie for sure. This isn't the whole thing either.

I love the phrase in the song. "You call me crazy, Ive got your crazy"

It just is so me I have heard it so much on the radio already I am singing along.

Whoohoo way to go britney it was looking grim for you but somehow you brought yourself back like nothing ever happened.

Enjoy!!!

You call me crazy, Ive got your crazy

Vintage Jen-ism's.....

I was sitting on my Grandmas lap at maybe 4-5 years old. I had gotten this cool stationary notebook. Her name was Gwen(by the way just typing her name brings me to tears).

She was telling me the letters of her name . G W E N. This is how my child like brain interpreted it . I Wrote G UU E N. Double U instead of W. Get it. Everyone got a kick out of it.


Heres another one for you and this one is on video tape so I will never live it down:

I wanted a typewriter so bad as a kid. I was into teaching and secretary stuff I guess. So My mom got me one for X-mas. We would always open our gifts then start putting them together right away. My here I am in my nightgown and messy hair typing my name I got to the L and couldn't find it, the drama queen that I was at that age I freak out and say "theres NO L" You couldn't tell me different. I can here my mom saying there is an L, "NOOOO. Oh there it is" then I kept on typing.

What do you collect??

I collect three different things.

Strawberry anything. I explain it the below post all about it my obsession.

Monkeys. Not real ones silly. Anything and everything monkey. I can be picky about what the monkeys look like. I want the cute ones. Not scary ones. I also don't like monkeys that look like bears i find this alot. I also like when other people help me with my collection, then they have a story. Even at my desk I have 6 little different monkeys.

Unicorns. I have been in love with unicorns since a child. I guess I just thought they were beautiful. I had a curio cabinets full of all different sorts of unicorns. Again I get picky I dont' just want a scary horse with a horn hanging out. If you ever saw DodgeBall, I am not as bad as Christine Taylor's character.

After writing this I realized I enjoy most of collection because someone took the time and bought it for me.

What do you collect?

Sweet as strawberry pie...

Thats me of course. I am so loving my new background. I love strawberries.

I collect strawberry stuff. My kitchen was all in strawberries. When I packed everything up to move out I was surprised at how much strawberry stuff I really had. I always love to get different strawberry thing from other people too. Thats where most of my stuff comes from.

Two cool strawberry things I have gotten are vintage. Fiesty gave me a strawberry water pitcher from her late grandmother. The whole thing is a strawberry. And my sister gave me a tea cup and saucer from an antique store with strawberries on it. Love them both.

I am a redhead as most of you know. So I got a nickname from Dennis and it was strawberry.

I guess I just ran with it. Enjoy the page. "Dude its Sweet". Wheres that from fiesty???

11 things that make me crazy...

this pic made me laugh so hard. Bad hair day?? I can't stop laughing.

During lunch I came up with some fun things that get under my skin and I am sure some of yours. Let me hear your responses to these and feel free to add some that both you when you leave a comment.



1. No seating at a restaurant during lunch. Ugg. today I just walked in and walked out, I'm not sitting at the kid sized table in front of the door, No thanks.



2. IPOD Earbuds not loud enough. I am gonna blow my eardrums out. I turn up my ipod, its loud, and can still hear people talking and the music from the restaurant. They also start to physically hurt to. I just need some good old 1980's headphone. How hard would you be laughing at me.



3. Having to smell stinky ass coffee(or anything for that matter). I am sitting at lunch today and this hazelnutcraptastical smell wafts over to my nostrils. YUK. I swear she was blowing it my way. Sometimes the table next to you orders food that smells like roadkill or a foot. Gross.



4. Not being able to pass. In my older age Im not trying to pass everyone in front of me BUT the kicker is the ones who don't do the speed limit, ride the break, constantly change speeds, or and theres the lost ones.



5. Longest light on earth. These are the ones with the left turn signals. You miss that signal your screwed. This isn't your basic light, this is high traffic put your car in park your gonna be here for a while lights. And god forbid your looking down and miss the turn or it does go off. AHHHH!



6. People parking too close. This one hits home because my car looks like a little person attacked my car with one of those mini-bats. Why must you park directly next to me when there are other parking spot steps away. You'd think these people would be worried about me hitting them. I have seen and been in the car as people have hit my car with their door. Words are exchanged.



7. Waitress seating partys too close. Obviously this stems from above. You have a whole restaurant, empty, half empty. Why would you seat me on top of the other people. Why in the hell do I want to hear what they are talking about. Come on. Two tables away is enough for space. whats that again a couple extra steps. Dont give me this close, walking crap. When its busy as shit, your all over the place.



8. People that want to make conversation in bathroom stalls. Why must we speak. I am either peeing or craping I don't want to make conversation. There is nothing important enough to talk about in a stall. And when I am washing my hands and your in a stall don't talk to me and make me stay to listen to your bowel movements and waterfall pee. I want to leave, let me. I see certain people at work and get out of the bathroom fast. Note: speaking with good friend during bathroom breaks while out shopping or whatever is cool.



9. Doors that attack you. What the shit, fix the door. Why is a 500 pound door attacking me. Hate this other than it hurts like hell, you feel stupid. This goes for elevator doors too. I once was smushed in elevator doors with coffee in my hands. Nice. I guess I was invisible and the sensors couldn't see me. Today i watched a many of people be attacked bye the door at Panera.



10. Straight hair and wind. Ahh!! I have natural curly hair but when I get a bug up my ass I straighten it. Wow if theres wind there hair everywhere. Little tiny strands that you can't find attached to your face. Like walking through a spider web face first. I had my hair straight a couple of days ago and couldn't have the window even cracked, so I just put my hair up. I totally feel for anyone that deals with this everyday.



11. Guys that can't hold the door. Shivery is close to being dead. Be a gentlemen hold the effing door for a woman you prick. Especially if I am carrying something. I mean I am pretty effing independent and all but as a man you should hold the door. Unless...I am already in front of you and have my hand out to open the door. Do not cut me off or step on me to open the door this will only make me angry. Complicated I know.




Scary...when the tech is afraid to drive your car...

So I pick up my car this morning...remember with nothing fixed.

They don't want the liability of driving my car for over an hour, because I have a bad tire.

Nice another issue.

So I need at least 2 new front tires....weeeee.

All of this driving to work from Timbucktu is taking a toll on my car.

Moving on...I am happy to be driving my car again. At least for a couple days.

I so envy the girl that works behind the desk at the repair shop. She so knows stuff about cars and she is not a bitch about it.

I always wanted to take a basic car 101. I still would. I like to be well rounded, just because I have boobs doesn't mean I should be so oblivious about cars.

Do you agree? Let me know how you feel.

Vaccuums and bed spreads and cats oh my...

Yep now I vacuum my bedspread weekly. This can't be normal.

I have a comforter that is made mostly out of velvet. ha ya velvet.

Velvet and kitties get along great. So I have fur covered comforter very easily. I try so hard to keep the kitties out. One is a long hair grey domestic and the other is a calico short hair. Short or long hair just flys off these cats.

The only way to keep them out is to keep my door shut at all times this gets freaking old and I forget. They have no problem remember where to place their little kitty butts while Im gone.

Thats right, on my pillow.

So I am the weirdo that is vacuuming my bedspread. Love it.

What do you think???

I love it...never can find the magical problem

I just make these things up.

I am talking about my infamous car. It become more infamous every day.

Either way, took car to shop on bad side of town (pretty much) because they know what they are doing and work on these things every day of their life. Great.

Get this. They can get the car to have a problem. This is the story of my cars life. Exhale.

I went so out of my way to take the effing car to this shop which is inbetween work and home. I put gas in an abundance of cars to make everyone happy and be able to drive of course. .......For them to call me and tell me that THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. CALMING DOwnnnnn.

Heres the kicker. I told them that this happens when the car has been running for awhile. I drove 70 on the highway and took 2 highways to try to create the problem. So I left it running and they went to drive it. I thought for sure it would happen. NOPE. So I asked do you want me to drive it around and bring it back. NO keep it here and we'll do diagnostic checks and whatever. Cool. right. no.

Dude, respectively tells me hes not going to guess at the problem to bring it in when its happening. GREAT. I am just going to drive up and down 80 until it effing happens. Because WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. I may not be able to get out of 1st gear.

Can you feel my magical car problem pain here....

So I will be picking it up tomorrow morning.

I have Dennis car. He has his mothers car. I will drive his car to his house tonight. He will drive me at the ass crack of dawn to shop. He will drive home. I will drive to work.

Isnt' that what you like to do in the morning before work. Then I get to I guess drive mine or continue to drive Dennis's until my days off. Preferable Monday early.

FUN WILL BE HAD FOR ALL. Because I guess Dennis will be following me up and down 80 until it happens too. What is this a Three stooges show. Me, Dennis, and my car. huh.

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Seriously....Seriously.

Just trying to come back down to earth. I am so sick of going out of my way and having stupid days off and drving other peoples cars and picking up cars and dropping off cars. Im about to blow up cars here soon.

i'll explain when I get back from lunch

Back so soon...

I don't really feel like I was off work very long. Everyday off was busy.

Heres my short breakdown

Sunday: much to my dismay I did the Birthday thing with Emily and my brother.

Our whole fam went to Applebees, then played Rock band. I'll post some pic and write up more of the details. Some is too much to take.

Monday: Had a dentist appointment Dennis took me so I didn't have to take my car(acting up).

The appointment sucked. It was uncomfortable and painful at points. They took impressions of my teeth. Those were horrible. I was choking on my own spit and then if I wasn't choking on it it was coming out the front down my face. Now most people know I I feel about saliva. Too much to take. The plastic tray was shoved into my bone under my tounge, Yess that was interesting telling her with this thing in my mouth why it hurt and she keep pushing. I did grab her at one point. Never want to do it again. Come on people my mouth is tiny ass give me what you would give a kid. So I got my extensive cleaning and found out that I have periodontal disease and will be going to the dentist about 4 times a year for the rest of my life. Thanks Mom!!

we went to walmart got the fun stuff then I had to call someone about my car. Lets just say I was a mood swinging crazy bitch. No luck on the car, so I drowned myself in Rax, yummy yummy.

By the time we got home I was reasy to just lay on the couch. I finally watched Greys and had a couple more mood swings. these I will have to explain in a different post.

Tuesday: I took my car to the shop. Me and dennis ate and I vegged out once we finally got home .

I was at the gas station 3 times and put gas in 3 cars. Too much fun I know your jealous.

I cleaned my room and did laundry that I forgot to dry. Never heard from the car repair shop no surprise.

But me and Dennis did see the new Sex and the City movie. He actually got me interested in Sex in the City. He was the perfect person to watch it with.
