Entry #13: Month end....again?!

Ew. Month end. Anyone who's ever worked in a finance department before most likely know this disdainful time of month. 12-13 hour day... everyone running at you with last minute things that need to close "OMG YESTERDAY DO IT NOW!!!". I made it. Made it through yet another one! Hoooray! Now I'm home. Relaxing and feeling moderately satisfied with the way the day turned out. Until I stumbled upon THIS little gem! I recently ran across the blog of a guy who I find hilarious (mattysoftmitts). This is a video he re-blogged. 

Check it out. I went from moderately satisfied to freakin' great. 

Entry #12: Photo Fun!

I've decided to join in on the photo madness that has taken over the blog-o-sphere lately! It looks like tons of fun! I wish I would have known about it in January. It would have been so neat to do it for an entire year and then create a photo album out of all the pictures! At any rate to keep me in line I will be posting them here! :)

Here's the link where I found this idea. I love this lovely lady!

Entry #11: Sock Bun

TOTALLY posting this cuz I'm pretty proud of it. I've been reading all these blogs from girls and they be all liiiiike "ZOMG THE SOCK BUNNN IS SOOO COOO!!!"
So... I tried it, And even tho I've yesterday's make-up onnnnn lemme sayyyy....it's cute.


So...
I posted this last night. And I'm not sure why. It really doesn't look that cute. I mean, the picture doesn't do it justice. It's really quite adorable seriously LOL
*tsk*tsk* for posting after shots of Fireball OMG.

Entry #10.1: Is this normal?

WOW am I feeling like a whiny little beeyotch today! Ever wake up and just feel... off?! Yeah that's me today. Which is strange because I had a good weekend. Today has been a fairly normal day at work. Something is just on edge inside me. I can feel it waiting to blow up at the next tiny thing that aggrivates me. HA. Great. 

On another note... I just realized that the concert I'm going to as part of my birthday celebration is only 12 days away! Woot! :D

I think I'm bored. Maybe that's it. Bored with the same 'ol job, same scenery , same friends. That sounds bad. I love my friends. Dearly. But I think I need some new ones in my life. Still sounds bad. Just know if you read this and I know you... I didn't mean it that way. I swear.

What needs to happen is for me to finish out the mundane work day, go home, smoke a bowl, read and pass out. Hopefully by then some of the amazing blogs I follow will have posted some more things and I can continue to procrastinate finishing The Virgin Suicides 

Tomorrow I'll feel better I'm sure. Right? Yes. 

Entry #10: Monday, this is how you make me feel...

Teddy Roosevelt always said...

For real. 

Entry #9: OMG HI!!!!!

Well, well, well!

God there are so many things running through my mind right now! First off- that post was from 8 months ago!

Since then, my "online-date-divorced-with-3-kids" guy and I have dated, broken up annnd then gotten back together. It's still so strange to me that we met online. It was the first time I'd ever done anything like that and I've really enjoyed our time together. Aside from all the BS that surrounded us the last couple months. Now that THAT'S over... all smiles here. 

Second- I am TOTALLY kickin' ass at work these days! That horrible performance review really checked my ass with a cold upper-hook to the face. I am LUCKY to have a job. Admittedly, don't get it twisted, I have to continuously remind myself of that. Sometimes I have awful days.

 I STILL don't have a car. YES I KNOW. Ugh. I hate thinking about it. I have been saving though. My dad even took me car shopping last weekend. NO LUCK. I'm not trying to generalize here but are ALL car-salesmen assholes?! I mean I get it. I'm not unreasonable- you need to make as much money off a sale as you can. OK but when I come in with bad credit, a smallish down payment and a request to put me in something NO higher than a $350/month car payment WHY I ask you would you not do that for me?! Jesus. I would have bought a car that night. Instead I was poked and prodded and walked out of there (to my boyfriends car) with no keys. I have since decided to take the money that I had saved for a down payment and use that to pay off some bills that show up on my credit report. I can start from scratch and save up some more money for a car in a few months. I need to pay off my debt. Otherwise- I'm stuck going to a dealership that will finance bad credit and NO I'm not judging here but- that's embarrassing. 

I'm totally rambling! I missed writing. It was therapeutic for me. I really need to take time to do things for ME. Even if there's no one to listen, follow or comment on my postings... It still feels good to vent. It's like... An online journal! 

I say like a lot. That's also embarrassing. 

G'night.

Entry #8...

So I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged. And I really need to. 

Since my last post I have:

1) Lost my car... engine seized

2) Had a HUGE fight with my Father

3) Succumbed to On-line Dating

4) Pretty much started dating someone

and 5) Had a shitty performance evaluation at work

OH and 6) Went to the NKOTB/BSB concert

So what we thought was the starter turned out to just be the death of my car. It was just old. And ready to die. So it waited until it was parked on a nice sunny, quiet hill in a neighborhood overlooking downtown Kirkland. RIP Jimmy. Now I'm bumming rides from my friend that lives and works near me and I WAS getting rides from my father but he's STILL a douche bag after all these years. Which leads me to my next subject to vent on. 

    He comes over on a Sunday after he got off work. Sure- he worked a 12 hour day. Ok. Complaining he's tired before he asks me if I want to go across the street for a drink. Now- he KNOWS damn well I'm broke. Pretty much as bad as a homeless person although I do have a piggy bank I've not emptied out yet. He proceeds to ask me if I want to go out on the Thursday coming up. I tell him "Sure but I don't want to be out late". Excuse me but I WORK M-F and I get up early. So whatev. Then AFTER I agree he tells me "Good. I have a friend from work that is going to meet us there... He's 25..." Ok NOW I see what's going on here... This is a set up. So I point blank say "Are you trying to set me up?!" And he says "No- Im introducing you to a friend of mine; I dont really care where it goes from there.... RIIIIIIGHT. 

So Tuesday night I text my dad from work and tell him I won't be able to make it. I don't want to go. It will be AWKWARD as all hell... and I just don't want to go. So I'm not. I made up an excuse (lie) that my friend that has been giving me rides asked for my help with something and "how can I turn her down? She's been such a HUGE help to me" In which he responds "Yeah well so have I. I'm very disappointed in you" 

Um.... WHAT?! Aside from my lil fib- which I understand is wrong... IF I were actually telling the truth did he REALLY just throw that in my face? He's been there for me too!? A little background on my Father... He disappeared when I was TWO. And reappeared when I was 22. NOW can ya see why him throwing his shit in my face pissed me off so much?! ALSO- IF I hadn't been fibbing- I'm sorry but going to help a friend that has helped me is WAY more important than going to have drinks on a Thursday night!! WTF?! How can he NOT understand that. Needless to say- I found a woman at work who lives near me that I can carpool with... Eff him. He can kiss my white ass. (STILL SO PISSED)

ANYWAYS.... 

Online Dating. WHY?! OMG. Let me tell you why... Curiosity? And the fact that one of my best friends met her husband on the same site I signed up for. I met and exchanged phone numbers with TWO people on the site and then erased my account. The first guy.... What shall I call him.... Hmmmm.... Lets call him Dog. As in Dog the Bounty Hunter (because that is his goal in life... to be a bounty hunter...) So I go out and meet Dog at a bar near my place. We have a few beers and really hit it off! Nice guy. But TOTALLY not for me. 

Ohhhhh but this OTHER one. T R O U B L E :)

We're both literally giddy with excitement over one another. We have so much in common including our sense of humor which is HUGE for me. I NEED to laugh. Otherwise I go crazy. Well... even MORE crazy than I already am... Cute, right? Anyhow- so far so good only thing is.... He is divorced and has three kids. OK OK  wait wait don't write him off just yet. If I had- I wouldn't be on cloud 9 right now. He's on the same page as me about meeting his kids- which I was very worried about. I've dated guys with kids and for some reason they wanted me to meet them right away with no regard as to what it's doing to the children to have women in and out of their life like that... We've agreed that at LEAST six months down the road is a good time to start talking about it... Works for me! I'll see him tonight by the way... and I'm like a school girl... I can't stop smiling! Seriously- someone smack me. 

Just like with Mr Grade School I am trying to take things really slow... Not get too excited about something that will let me down  has the possibility to backfire. But I can't help it. I've tried- trust me. 

  Ugh work. I've nothing to say here because it will just piss me off and ruin my day. Basically- I work for a company that is understaffed and hesitant to hire more people. 

  Annnnnd NKOTB/BSB.... omg. BEST concert I've been to in quite some time! TOTAL flashback to grade school! Ahhhh the early days... When all ya had to worry about was homework and your mom TOTALLY embarrassing you when a boy called.... How I miss those days! 

That's it for now... Done venting.
