Ass Clowns in the Fast Lane!

Ok so today started out like any normal day…I woke up with every intention of exercising, but I’m still not feeling good so I slept in. Went to work, worked etc. Then my boss calls Accounting (my department) into a meeting at 10 to 5! Then we get out about 5:05 which is fine I don’t mind staying a little later, but I HATE THE TRAFFIC!! Really I didn’t sit still in traffic the whole way home so in New York terms I had a GREAT commute. But I got hit with Ass clowns in the fast lane left and friggin right!
I would pass one that was doing 5 under the speed limit in the fast lane mind you, just to get right behind another one. Then to top it all off there was ONE huge Ass clown that was causing all of the other drivers to have to go slow behind her which in turn makes everyone slam on their breaks and almost rear-end everyone! I passed her, shes lucky I didn’t give her the bird! Anyway so that was my day today…not too bad…I’m writing from home becasue I had to talk about the Ass clowns! Tomorrow then!

Explaining my OCD moment...

M. and I woke up early, again, on Sunday morning, although this time it was my fault. I posted on Saturday morning outlining a little bit of our day that I thought was a PLAN! I should admit now that I usually have a plan all mapped out and explained to M. and then he will up and want to do something OFF MY PLAN and be all reckless and say “I didn’t know about that, you didn’t tell me!” Hah I know I told him! Anywho…back to the story so we were supposed to color eggs in the time slot after his haircut and before we went to go meet Al about our wedding. Needless to say he got home from work late (my fault I should have known) and we went to grab some lunch and then to get his haircut. By the time we got back to the apartment we didn’t have enough time to color the eggs!
I wasn’t anxious about it at that point, to veer(spelling) once from the Plan is ok. Then after we met with Al about our wedding (another post) we were supposed to come home and color eggs and then go to a movie and pick up a few things we needed in town. On the way back to the house M. says “Hey why don’t we go see Fast and Furious now” and I said, “I guess, but after that we have to color eggs as soon as we get home” M. replies “Ok, no problem, look up the times on your phone” (who said internet on your cellphone was a bad thing?)
We went to The Fast and Furious 4 which I have to admit I enjoyed, and then we ended up meeting a couple of friends we haven’t seen in a long long time and went out to dinner. I was starting to feel a sore throat and a cold coming on…so after dinner I wasn’t feeling up to grabbing the little stuff we needed, so we went home and I went to bed at like 10:30 or so. What I didn’t realize is that M. didn’t come to bed until like 1:30 am because he watched a movie he rented that I didn’t want to see. So when I rolled over at 7:30 am on Sunday and let our kitten in to wake us up…he was a little bit tired looking! Oh well…thats what he gets for waking me up early every day this past week!! It’s all Love in our world! Anyway…so that is a little explanation of my Planning, and I really am working on my OCD and planning nature! We eventually did get the eggs colored Sunday morning…and when I went to go enjoy the hard-boiled eggs I eat once a year…I hadn’t cooked it long enough…I was PISSED! Needless to say I will have to end up cooking a couple of eggs just so I can have my ONE hard-boiled egg! If you’ve managed to stay with me this long you deserve a Gold Star, I am not above handing out Gold Star’s randomly and I know you treasure them! hah!

A Day in the Life of...Glamour! haha

Ok so today M. and I woke up earlier then we normally do even on weekdays! He had to go to work, so I go tbusy cooking the eggs for us to color for our egg hunt tomorrow. I am still a little kid when it comes to Holiday traditions and everything involved. We have an appointment to secure our wedding venue and start talking about prices for our wedding at 4 today…I am hoping for great savings (please cross your fingers for us!)
After that M. is going to go back and work on his Camaro and then I believe we are going to a movie. I know my life is glamarous and you want to be able to do all of the crazy things I’m doing! Oh well…not much going on so not much to say! Happy Easter everyone!

Working and the Economy...

I hate to say this but up until the past couple of weeks I have not felt the strain of this horrible economy. As I look around and see people lierally falling in the storm that is the housing market and the tsunami of money troubles I have been blessed.
Right about the time that the economy started taking a nose dive into hell and gas prices were continuously soring, I landed a great job! I was once month away from graduating with my Associates degree and I started two weeks before graduation! Needless to say, I began getting a paycheck every two weeks! Up until that point my caring and wonderful fiance was taking care of himself and me in our first apartment until I graduated college. Once my paychecks started coming in we were able to pay off bills, and I was able to get a brand new car!!! We go out to eat every Friday, I do have to say that we both are coupon and sale freaks! We rarely by anything that isn’t at a discounted price, and I usually shout from the heavens about our good deals! Like recently when we switched grocery stores posted here!!
Anyway…the past couple of weeks have been very hard as lay-offs have been taking place in my company, and I have watched as hard-working people that need this job get cut and people who do not work hard and do absolutely nothing to help the survival of this company still have employment! It hurts and makes me sad…I am lucky enough to still have my job, and I work twice as hard everyday because of it, I will not let my co-workers loss be in vain I will work to restore the awesome company I work for! I have been dealt a huge piece of humble pie, so please excuse me as I eat it with a heavy heart…

Public Restrooms...

I am going to publicly announce my hatred of using public restrooms. Going the usual (number 1) is no big deal, you’re in you’re out no one notices anything out of the ordinary. But lordy lordy if fate is striking down on you with a blow that would be Number 2 then you must be publicly humiliated by going. Ok so maybe that is a stretch being humiliated but I definitely am everytime I have to go #2 in public!
I have a routine…I always go in the last stall, I have to hold it until every last person is out of the restroom EVEN if that means waiting ten minutes because of high traffic in the restroom. Hence why I try to only go #2 when it is not rush-hour for the bathroom! I’m sorry if this is TMI but I felt I needed to reach out about my phobia of going #2 in public! Thanks…I feel better now.

Mondays...

I really believe that Monday’s were meant as a day of torture. You wake up Monday morning and realize that you have 5 eight hour work days before you can be as relaxed as you were only a few hours ago. Then you must force yourself to make the decent from the warmth of your bed to the bathroom where you will undoubtedly become cold with the bitterness that is Monday!
I wish that I could have a 4 day work week with 10 hour days and have three blessed days to relax. Only having two days to relax seems a little bit like a tease to me.
Now I am done complaining, back at work today (obviously) I will hopefully post another killer dinner tomorrow…because we were gone all weekend I didn’t cook! I got to go to New York City and stay with my brother-in-law (well soon to be) and then we all went to Philadelphia for the zoo…and we ended up absolutley loving it! Then we went to a huge farmers market and bought fresh apple butter and corn bread! Oh and fudge, how could I forget? We also experienced the Philly Cheese Steak! It was yummy and you can really taste the difference from eating one at your normal everyday diner or restaurant to eating one in Philly!! YUMMY!! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Birthday Dinner

So my first experience with Red Lobster was AMAZING…except for the prices! My loving fiance paid and I am so grateful that I did not leave this Earth without tasting Red Lobster’s biscuits! OMG sooo freakin good! I have to find the recipe sooner then later because I will most likely be feaning for these biscuits soon. My lover bought me a card and then drew in our kitten and turtle at the end, he is so cute!
Right now I am sitting at work…bored…I’m all caught up and because it’s the beginning of the month I have NOTHING to do. If you could imagine sitting through an entire lecture of your worst subject from a monotone professor and multiply that by 100 thats how freakin bored I am. I know I used the word “freakin” again but it adequately helps to describe how I’m feeling! Thank you…
I can’t wait to go home and sit and watch TV, and hopefully my books came. I definitely just sounded like a nerd back there. I am so in love with Jodi Picoult’s book that I read two in a week and a half, and I just ordered three more!! Amazon if your reading…please make sure my books get here ASAP…as I don’t know what to do with myself at night if I don’t have a book to hide in!
This weekend I am going to the city (New York City) and then on to Philadelphia, where I have never been. We are going to have an authentic Philly Cheese Steak and if all goes as planned we will be visiting the zoo!! I haven’t been to the zoo since I was in middle school so I can’t wait…I love animals and I’ve heard that the Philly zoo is one of the best in our area along with the Bronx Zoo. I will hopefully have plenty of pictures from the city to be able to share when I get back. But (yes I realize I shouldn’t start sentences with but, but I like to! hah) it is not even close to the weekend. It’s only Wednesday and I must get through two more days before I can even think about how much fun and exhausting this weekend will be!
So I had a great night last night at RL but I am sore today because of it…we usually don’t go out on weeknights so all of the excitement didn’t help me sleep last night and I am dragging today becasue of it. I would do it all over again though…ok I’m done rambling…for today!
