How was everyone's Saturday night? Me? I went to see Exteme Midget Wrestling...yes you heard that right. :p It wasn't awful, in fact it was kind of funny and I even got to take a picture with a midget.

This is my current yahoo avitar. Yes, the one I said if I ever got married this is the dress I would like. :)



[edit and apparently it changes whenever I change my avitar]

I want duck to be my lawyer.

I changed my theme to TIKI PURPLE!!!! There are some of you out there who might remember that joke.

I love Pirates, in fact they make the whole weekend bearable.

Right so I drove an hour at 1:30 in the morning to go not get laid and spend the night on someone's couch and get blinded this morning. When I was promised entertainment for the evening this is not what I was expecting. I think drunk= easy right? Wrong!!! Apparently drunk = do stupid things and tell the women to run out the light when we leave. Which we didn't because it was so freaking late I didn't think I could get off the courch to drive to my house. And for more on the event read eroseternum

So, I'm standing at the buffet line yesterday in a Chinese resteraunt and I look up and the woman across from me has on this t-shirt. And I usually don't look twice at weird things they say, but this made me cringe. It was especially bad because it was the middle of the day and the resteraunt was packed. Her t-shirt read "You may not be Mr. Right but I'll fuck you right now". Wow, it takes...something I'm lacking to wear that shirt in public. lol

And thanks to good friends. :) The lights are on at my mom's house so as soon as celamowari's room is clean they can move back in to the house. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one prepared to do the dance of joy. I bet he will be when he gets to sleep in his own bed.

So I can't believe this. My mother's house caught on fire tonight. celamowari and I were in his room chatting, we had smelled something funny earlier so we investigated. I went in the attic and investigated no melty wires or anything suspicious. We were sitting there later and all of a sudden flames started shooting out of the wall. I took off running for the fire extinguisher and started screaming to my mother to call 911. I got it knocked down with the extinguisher and mom got the water hose and was wetting down the outside of the house. I ran to get my radio to find out where the guys on the fire dept were. It was a flipping miracle it worked too because it's been in my car turned off for about four months. So, I'm talking to them and letting them know the status of the fire and getting their ETA. While all this was going on my training did manage to kick in and I called the Sheriff's Office to have them contact the electric company to come and pull the meter off the house. It only took about ten minutes for the guys to get there with the trucks.

Of course in my haste and insanity to get the fire put out I had no thought for what I was doing to myself. While I was using the extinguisher I inhaled so much smoke and fire extinguisher chemicals, and wire chemicals that I couldn't talk by around nine thirty, which is normal for me anytime I'm at a fire. So, eroseternum made me go to the hospital, threatening me with driving out to my house to get me. So I went, it was relatively painless, and I was only there for an hour and they took me as soon as I signed the log. They took chest x-rays and treated me for carbon monoxide poisoning as a precautionary measure. I am obviously home now. I went to visit and brought everyone home with me.

It was so much better than it could have been though. It was just lucky that everyone thought and acted quickly. The box and wiring in the box are melted, but for the most part everything is okay. Only the closet and the carpet are really damaged and it was only one section of the wall that got the brunt of the damage. So thanks to God for watching over the family yet again. Considering this is the third house to burn and no one's been hurt is a miracle. Mine burned in 2004, my uncle's just burned in 2006 and now mom's in 2007. My aunt half jokingly asked if they would park a fire truck at her house.

Wow, I'm impressed.

If you ever had any doubts as to why to avoid the personals, this should answer them right there. Thank you Yahoo yet again!



Move with me - OR- I'll move with you  

That's the only way to describe the last month. Yes, apparently it's possible for my life to get weirder. More later...maybe.

celamowari mentioned it in his journal so here's my flood experiences. It started on Thursday when i ran into some friends at Walmart and they told me to stay off the road I normally take home because it was quite flooded already and we hadn't even gotten the 18 inches that we got Thursday night yet. I called Brian because it was his birthday Thursday, he was in a snit last weekend, but apparently was over it since he answered my call while he was walking back from hunting. He was already flooded in also. Thursday night I woke up throught the night and the rain just was slamming us. I had finally gotten back to sleep about five and didn't have to get up till around six thirty. My phone rang at six a.m. though, it was eroseternum letting me know that the backup road I take to work was closed because of high flood waters. Oh joy, so I called my boss and informed her that I couldn't get to work for eight. I had to go because they schedule stupid meeting and I was supposed to go to a football game last night. So I went to leave at daylight, my tire was flat, so I aired it up. You know you have tire problems when you air it up to the correct pressure and you hear the air hissing out of the tire. So, I made it halfway to work and had to stop and get my tire replaced.

I made it to work three hours late with a brand new tire and $116 less in my checkbook. :( Only to discover they had called even more meetings. I should have stayed at home, but if I hadn't gone I would have been stuck here with a flat and no way to get the stupid tire off my car because when they change the tire they're impossible to pry the tires off if you have a flat. I went to the football game and it was good, but it was cold, cold, cold. Not as cold as some of you get I'm sure, but cold enough for me. :) And now I'm sick. Fun!

Okay so about nine this evening I went outside to feed my cats. No big right? Wrong, OMG so wrong. I caught sight of someone walking down the street across the highway from me, I walked inside and looked out the window and realized it was my neighbor, Brian's grandma walking down the middle of the highway at nine o'clock at night. Holy shit, so me in my pajamas and a pair of flip flops takes off chasing an 86 year old woman down a  major highway while screaming her name. The other neighbors will probably think I'm the crazy one tomorrow.

So, I caught up with her finally after she'd made it quite aways, stopped her and she finally realized who I was. I got her to go back to her house and get setttled. She didn't want me to call her son, so I didn't she wanted me to go home. I walked back across the street to my house where I promptly called her son and informed him of what had just happened. His response, "Well, why were you out on the porch that late?" WTF??? Don't you think you'd have other questions if your mother was found wandering down the highway?!? I know I would. So, I sat on my porch until he came up there. Of course then he didn't stop, he just drove by to make sure the lights were all off. I now should go to bed, because I have to go to work in the morning, but I really don't know if I'll be able to sleep even with the knockout drug I just took.

You know it's going to be fun when you  have to show the people in charge of fixing your computer how to exit the command prompt in windows.

I just started Firefighter I training online.

Well they cleaned all the shit up off the floor at work. It still stinks though. Smells like crap with a distinct disinfectant in the air. It's so wonderful. So glad I'm home.

Oh and men are stoooooooooopid. What man in his right mind has a woman in his bedroom and does nothing but fold clothes?

And when I put that title up there I mean it literally. Well, you know I've been bitching about how my job sucks for a little while. I work with backstabbers who apparently all dislike me and the other girl I work with and are trying their best to get us into trouble. It's been an entire week of nothing but crap at work. We had a "meeting" scheduled for today, one that was apparently us all getting bitched at for an hour. We were praying for divine intervention some kind of way. Well, it happened in a very enteraining if somewhat disgusting way. It started with one toilet backing up, then went on to two or three backing up. After lunch one toilet overflowed and black water was coming out of it (I don't want to know). Long story short sewage was seeping through the walls and flooding the hallways. So, meeting cancelled and I got to go home at 1:45. And now they have to disinfect the building. I should mention the building is only three years old so this is kind of scary.

Okay so being the child of the 80's that I am i admit it I bought the She-Ra dvd that just came out. I have no shame. I am currently laughing my ass off. I really didn't appreciate how incredibly unbelievable this was the first time around. I mean really He-Man throwing a rope all the way into space and managing to wrap it around the spaceship...and then She-Ra climbling the rope into outer space. Wow, is all I can say.

However, the episode where He-Man is surrounded by nothing but women all trying to jump him was pretty funny. And then him telling She-Ra he had to cut his vacation short and her calling him chicken was pretty hilarious. I could however do without the annoying creature Loo-Kee as in lookee see me. He was pretty annoying, not actually part of the show, but he gave you the moral at the end. Also the theme song is a bit nauseating, but all in all I'm enjoying it. So, when the boxed sets start coming out. I'll be buying them because I am a fan girl.
