Bordem Strikes!!

I've been unemployed for a week and half and I'm going insane!!!  I've been so bored.  All I do is sit on facebook, play farm town, sort through my papers, get them all in order, look for jobs and try to keep my apartment clean.  The last is probably the hardest.  Anytime I get something clean, my hubby walks behind me and messes it all up.  I don't get it!  I clean he makes a mess.  And he wants me to do his laundry...I don't think so!  But in the end, I'll probably end up doing it since I have so much free time.  I hate this!  I can't wait to find a job!  I say that now, but will probably end up regretting it later.  I'm so bored I'm thinking of getting a part-time job just for something to do.  Oh my God - so bored.  So that's all I've been doing for the past week.  Not much fun - but I guess someone has to be unemployed - and to get paid for doing nothing is actually pretty sweet - until I go broke!

Messed up families!

So everybody thinks they have a screwed up family.  I agree, nobody's is perfect. Everybody has the crazy siblings, well hated aunts and in-laws they can't stand.  

My family fits that category well.  My mom, she's crazy.  Really she is.  At one time she was writing to her counselor pretending to be my younger sisters.  I couldn't believe it.  She said my dad abused her but she wouldn't show anyone the marks.  She said if anything happened to her, she wanted my sisters to live with some member of her church instead of their father or other siblings.  She thinks she does nothing wrong.  When we were planning our wedding, she made it so difficult.  Note:  If you think your mom is crazy, she probably is.  If you're planning on getting married, don't get her involved.  Example:  I was going home to do wedding planning, she had known about this day for months.  You know what she does?  She plans to go to court on this day to sue someone.  For the love of God!  This was supposed to be my day.  And then she was so uncooperative.  It was a day of hell.

My older sister is funny.  She doesn't have much of a social life.  Not saying that I do, but I at least get out.  She lives 2 hours away from home.  Every weekend she makes the 2 hour drive there so she can spend time with my mom.  And she sits at home all weekend.  My mom got so annoyed with her, she now has to go to adult Sunday school.  And one time she went on a date, at the end, she shook a guys hand at the end!!!! For the love of God! Who does that??  Needless to say, they never went out again.  And she can't find anyone on her own.  She was her only friend try and  hook her up with people.  I don't think she's ever had a second date!  And she tries to be momma.  She drives me so crazy!  She talks to everyone like they're 5 years old.  I'm 25!!! Stop talking to me like I'm your student!  

Now my aunt. She's a bitch.  I really don't like her.  She even made my life hell during my wedding planning.  I asked her to help me look for a piano player, but she took it as book someone.  Well she never got back to me, so we booked someone else.  So we were double booked.  She didn't understand what happened when we tried to explain what was going on.  Instead of getting it, she made a big deal out of it, called my in-laws yelled at them and made their life hell.  Needless to say, they don't like her either.  So instead of getting us a gift, she paid the piano player and said that was our gift.  She wanted us to pay for it!  It was her mistake.  But she won't take responsibility for it.  She's dumb.  I'm never talking to her again.  I don't have to.  I won't either.  I can be stubborn too!

I could go on and on, but won't.  I need to save other members for later!

Twilight

So when I was home, I watched  Twilight.  I must say it was crap.  I hated it.  It was nothing like the book.  I expected that because movies are never like the books, but still.  It was boring and so were the characters.  Everybody I know has loved the movie and the books, but nope not me.  It left out so many details.  It was not suspenseful at all.  At least with the Harry Potter movies, it follows certain story lines and they have to otherwise the movies would be 6 hours long.  Twilight should have been able to go into details, but they didn't.  It sucked. I'm so angry I spent 2 hours or so watching it.  I HATE TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crappy Butt Week

Oh my God!  What a week its been. So let me fill you in.  Last week was a living hell.  I worked (notice the ed)  at a CPA firm and last week was tax week.  I hoped everybody filed!  So I was working until 8 or so every night.  Then I Thursday I went to work for a usual day all excited cause I got a 5 day weekend.  And then I got laid off!!  For the Love of God.  I got told at 2:30 and I was supposed to leave at 3:30.  So I left work in tears, bawling my eyes out and my while being told this, my ex-boss says say something, and my reply "What am I supposed to say?"  And my thoughts were "you bitch.  You do this to me when I supposed to be leaving or a weekend."  So yeah I was pissed.  So I went home and did not have a good time.  I was stressed out thinking about what am I supposed to do, I have no job, very little money and tons of debt.  So it sucked.  And I didn't get to hang out with any of my friends, my dog is dying and I was annoyed.  All I wanted was to cuddle with someone.  Oh and on top, my allergies were acting up.  God it sucked.  So then I come home and the first thing my husband says is "Where is the game boy?  I've been dying to play."  WHAT?????  That's all you can say to me?  So I was pissed about that.  My apartment was a total mess.  He didn't clean up at all.  And I need to find a job.  Pretty Sh*tty if you ask me. The only good thing, is that my in-laws are helping us out.  And my mom is bitching about it cause "most people don't get help after they get married."  She's bitter cause no one will help her out.  She's always redoing the house.  Who would want to help her out.  Oh and I owe my mom some money.  I tell her I won't be able to pay her for awhile until I get back on my feet and she's pissed.  "I'll give you a month".  WTF????  She's crazy.  She really is.  So that's been my week.  It was rough.  And instead of looking for a job, I'm blogging.  I decided I need some time off...

Twilight vs. Harry Potter

So I am trying my hardest to read Twilight and I just don't get it.  I can't get myself to read it and be like those people who can't put it down.  But with the Harry Potter books, I was one of those people.  I stayed up late to read, read everywhere, made my husband read to me when we were moving and I was driving.  Now those are some great books.  Here's why I think Harry Potter is better than Twilight.

The main character.  Harry Potter is so much better than Bella whatever her last name is.  I connect with Harry and feel what he feels.  Where as with Bella, yeah don't care so much for her.  She's boring and loses my interest.  The only thing she has up on H.P. is her boyfriend.  I fell in love with him when he played Cedric Diggery in the movie.  With Harry's girlfriends - nothing to great.  

And the friends that they have.  Now I just finished book one one of Twilight, but it seems like Bella doesn't have any close friends - Just Edward.  But with HP - he's got some friends who like him for him not because he survived Lord Voldemort.  They do everything for him, including dropping out of school at the age of 17 to look for Voldemort.  Now those I consider friends.  Bella is a LOSER!!!

The place that they take place is better.  HP goes for the imagination.  Giffindorfs, Cantors, Giants, Goblins, different money, you name it they have it.  Twilight only has Vampires and warewolfs.  Come on Ms. Meyers, you can do better than that!  In HP, you get such a vivid picture of what she writes about.  You can actually see what she writes about.  In Twilight - yeah not so much.  Like I said, it kind of boring.  And if you're going to make stuff up, you might as well go the whole way.  Why stop with Vampires when there is so much other mythical creatures out there.

Now for the authors - Hands down, HP wins!!! She didn't stop writing a book because it was leaked on the Internet.  And she knows  how to write.  It's interesting - she knows how to capture an audience.  I don't see how people think Twilight is so good. The woman can't write!  She tries, but has come up short.  If things don't start getting interesting soon, I won't be able to go on.  

But for the record, I will keep trying the Twilight series.  And maybe my opinion will change, but I doubt that.   So when I finish I will revisit and give my full opinion!  Oh again, I apologize for grammar and spelling - I went to a public school!!!

What a week!

I will be so happy when the week is over!  I know it's only Sunday, but come Thursday afternoon it's VACATION!!  Now I'm not going anywhere special, just to Minnesota to visit my family who I haven't seen in 5 months, so I'm excited.  And after the past few weeks, I deserve a break.  

It started on Saturday when I was supposed to have date night with my hubby because I  haven't seen him in a long time, or so it seems.  We were supposed to go to Melting Pot, but he decides to invite another couple, who completely change the place.  Oh my god, I've been dying for that place and now I need to go out with people who I don't know and don't care to know.  So we go - I put up a fight like usual because it's supposed to be my night.  It turns out okay, but those are 3 hours of my life I will never get  back.  And for sitting in a restaurant for 3 hours, I mean that's a little crazy.  The only people who really talked was my husband and the wife of the other couple.  They work together.  So pretty pointless for me to be there.  But it finally ended and that was that.

And then the work week.  What a crappy week.  I was told I scanned to slow - or slower than last year.  How in the hell do they know???  They don't keep track, and they yelled at me.  And then I got a crazy eye infection.  That sucked.  It hurt.  And my co-workers made me cry because they're mean.  They expect me to do everything.  No one helps me out.  And they are stupid and lazy. Look for this, do this, scan faster, get the phone.  For the love of God, I'm only one person with two arms.  What more do you want from me??  Oh and blondy did something else stupid.  She didn't know how to delete a page from frickin Adobe.  How can you not know to click on the page you want deleted, click delete and say yes??  So she brings it to me.  I decide that they need Adobe trying and need to learn to use a scanner.  They drive me crazy.  And today was supposed to be my day off. I had to go back to the doctor, get my eye looked at, which is now 80% healed, and I took a nap.  And then at noon, my boss calls and says, we need you to come.  WTF?? I did only because today, tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday is all overtime.  Plus "Queen Bee" was working and she's the laziest person I know, and "Granny" was working who can only do one thing at a time and gets worked up to fast, and then Dipsy was working, who can't ever slow down in life.  So I went it.  And after a long day, I finally got my Melting Pot cause it was date night.  But it was a crappy date night.  I was told, my door would be opened and I could order my $12.00 Margarita.  But not of that happened.  I had to drive, put gas in the car, freeze, and all of that crap.  And then I was hoping for a nice relaxing night after, but my hubby decides to go to bed on me - after he bitches that I haven't been around, hasn't seen me, yadda yadda yadda.  What a jerk!  Oh how I can't wait to go home, but I'm not sure how much fun it will be.  Babysitting, dance recitals, orchestra concerts, spending time with my family.  I'm going to be so worn out when I get back.  

And now that I finished this, I realized how boring it is, but I don't care.  I feel better.  Maybe I can come up with some better crap for next time!  Oh and I can't spell either...Damn, Life sucks!

Where do you think I'm from?

I'm at work the other day eating my lunch.  The guy next to me says "Mmm. That smells good, what is it?"  I reply "Taco Salad. We had tacos that other night, so I thought I'd have a salad with the left overs."  "Mrs. MIT Grad" then asks the stupidest question I think I've ever heard "Did they have tacos where you're from?"  For the Love of God, where do you think I'm from? is all that I can think.  "Yes" is all that I can say.  "Do they have a lot of taco places back there?"  "Not as many.  We have Taco Bell, Taco Johns.  But that's about it for fast food."  "No Chipotle?"  "Yes, but they're scattered.  Not on every corner like here."  

Okay.  So I'm from Minnesota.  Not Mars.  What place doesn't have tacos?  It's not a foreign food or anything.  You buy the mix in a packet and just stir it in with your meat.  That's it.  It's not like fried chicken or grits, which is pretty much a southern food. It's tacos!!!  And yes in Minnesota, there isn't a lot of taco places.  My favorite is Taco Johns.  I can't wait to go home and get me a taco salad with that yummy dressing.  So good.  Only a week and a half until I go home.  I'll be in heaven with that salad.  But no Taco John's in California. It's like the one place they don't have.  And so far nothing compares to Taco Johns. 

Well that was off the subject.  Back to another tale of work.  So I'm in the assembly room with a few other people and a co-worker has a bottle of water on the desk and someone spills it.  Instead of wiping it up he yells "'Dipsy', I spilt your  water!" and just stands there.  Oh my god.  She so needs to stop what she's doing and clean up the mess that the guy made!!!  Some people.

Right now at work, we've been so busy.  It's crazy.  So I'm working trying to get everything done and "Blondie" comes to me and say "I can't find this paper, have you seen it?  Someone took it out of "Madonna's" basket.  Could you please look for it?"  I reply, "Well, it would help if I knew what I would be looking for."  Blondie "An escrow sheet."  Me, "I will after I finish this."  So I go and look for it and I can't find it.  I tell her and she then has the nerve to tell me "I know.  I've already looked through those papers three times."  For the love of God!!! You took me away from my work to look for a paper you knew wasn't there???  She's dumb.  Don't really care for her.  But whatever.  That just made my day.  Some people...Stupid and lazy again...

Attack of the Horribly Bad Drivers

So this weekend my husband's parents came to visit. We ended up taking a little road trip, which made me see where my husband gets his bad driving from - his father. I thought we were going to die and all I could think about was For the Love of God slow down, drive better. I told my husband before we even left that I didn't want to go cause I knew how bad the driving would be and I would end up getting car sick. Sad, I know, I'm 25 and still get car sick when someone drives awful. But this all got me thinking about bad annoying habits that other drivers have. So here's a list of the ones that bother me the most!

1) Not using the blinker. For the Love of God!!All you need to move your finger an inch at the most. Flip up or down - that's it. So easy.

2) As soon as the light turns green, people start honking at you to go. What is up with that? Why would I want to go when cars going the other way are running red lights? If only they could see what I saw at the light.

3) Cars that ride your ass. One day when I'm so pissed off with this, I'm going to slam my breaks on just so that they hit me and I can sue the hell out of them. There is a reason why the 3 second rule was invented! I guess they just want to help me purchase a new car and I'm down for that!

4) Cars that go below the speed limit. There is a reason why it says 65 mph on the frickin sign! And it's always old people or people in shitty cars. And they play that stupid game, you go to pass and they speed up. Stop that! I want to go around you for a reason!

5) Cars that go way over the limit. Slow down. I always tell my husband I don't want to die today. And watching Speeders lets me know that cops do give tickets for going 10 mph over the speed limit. One day I would love for my husband to get a ticket for speeding. Maybe he'll slow down - but I doubt that.

6) Cell phone texters. For the love of God get off your phone and pay attention. This, in my opinion is the stupidest thing ever. My sister told me that she can text without looking at the phone, but can you read without looking at the phone? I don't think so.

7) DVD watching kids. It's not bad for the kids, but it is bad for the drivers behind this vehicle. I've caught myself watching the video with them. And all I can say is "What the F? I don't even pay attention. They need to make darker back window so other drivers can't see what's going on but you can still see out of.

8) People smoking weed in the car. Jesus Christ! Pull over and pack your bowl. You get so distracted by it you have no idea what's going on around you. Why are you even smoking pot in the car to begin with?

9) Eating burgers or other messy food. How many accidents has this caused. You spill you so you gotta clean it up. You look down, boom - accident. Eat fries or something that can't spill on you.

10) Other people on the road with me. I'm starting to think I'm the only one that can drive. So stay off the road while I'm on it, I want to live today.

I wanted to end with 10, but I just thought of one more.

11) Teenage drivers. You guys suck at driving. I once rode with my sister, I wanted to cry. Last time I've done that. I hope I don't need to do it again. It was scary. You have no idea what you're doing, so stay off until you've mastered. You think you're so good, but you SUCK!

That's it for now. I'm sure there are other types of drivers that piss me off and I'll find them!
