Rambling

I hope someone is watching Letterman right now! Apparently Oprah has finally agreed to come on Letterman’s show and the jokes and “preparation” Dave is doing is hilarious! But — he’s always pretty funny. You people can watch the show – you don’t need me to recap it for you…..

So — today was a pretty good day I suppose, although I can’t seem to get back into the mood of working after the Turkey Day holiday. I get up, go to work, and then I find every opportunity there is NOT to work. This is NOT good people — there’s tons of crapola to do and more shit is piled on top of the stack daily, but I just can’t seem to get motivated to do anything about it. This is so not me — I’m always the one that’s the workaholic and running circles around everyone else. Burnout? Yes, I think so. I’ve just been in overdrive for so long and the fumes I was running on have just run out. I need a vacation. A relaxing vacation. The kind where you sit on a beach and stare at the water and the people….. one where I don’t have to think. I need to disconnect…….. completely.

Went to the post office today to ship a package out of the country. I rarely go inside there but I was quickly reminded why the phrase “going postal” came about…… Stupid idiot fucktard. Sometimes I wonder how people make it through this life —- I have little patience for people with no common sense or brains at all. I swear I’m going to have a shirt made up one day that says, “If you were smarter, I’d be nicer.” Idiots!

On a more postitive note, I went shopping after work today and got this really cool overnight bag thing that I wanted. It’s black with red alligator/croc skin like accents. Don’t know why I wanted it so badly — it’s not like I don’t have overnight bags/luggage etc but I just wanted *this one*…..and well….. I got it! …..Um…well….actually I don’t have it. My mom does. It’s at her house til Christmas. She loves to buy stuff for me that she knows I want and then makes me wait to get it. Does anybody do this stuff to you guys? Just makes me want it worse since I can’t have it at my fingertips RIGHT THIS SECOND.

Well – enough rambling for now – it’s 1 am – maybe I should go to bed….Lights OUT!

WTF?

I poured Spot remover on my dog.

Now he’s gone.

Wait.

I don’t have a dog.

Weird. I was definitely seeing spots.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Well, it seems that the Christmas season is upon us so I thought I had better start sprucing the place up around here. I’ve spent a couple of hours tonight redesigning things to make this a welcoming holiday page for you all. I hope you like it!

Now that I have my online home decorated I guess I better make time tomorrow to take care of my 3D home. I’ll begin with the decorating around noon so if any of you want to come over and help I’d love to have you. It would make for a much more enjoyable experience! Email me for directions!

Alright, guess I better get a little sleep tonight — One last thing – If you haven’t read the post below about YOUR CHRISTMAS GIFTS GO READ IT NOW! Hurry! Don’t miss it! Well unless you really want a surprise on xmas morning and I know none of you want to be surprised – you all know you sniff your presents and I bet some of you even open & rewrap them!! So – go! Are you still here?! Scroll down! Read it now!

It’s Official

I’m a tired, now broke, totally spent, brave, kick ass shopper that ventured into the stores today to snatch, grab, punch, hit, slap, bite, and spit at the people in my way preventing me from getting all the goodies I wanted at the prices I could afford — for my family and for all you. (Are you tired after reading that ONE sentence? Yeah, me too.)

Yeah, you heard me. I shopped on Black Friday. I know. I could have taken pliers and ripped my toenails from their bed and gotten the same pain & had it over with quicker, but I didn’t — that must show you all just how very much I love you! Yeah, I said it, I love you people.

Wanna know what I bought you all? Sure you do. So, since we’re all geographically challenged & I know that I won’t get to visit you all for Christmas, I’m just going to go ahead and tell you what you’ve got coming in the mail.

In no particular order, here goes:

Mark: A new rebreather – YAH, aren’t you excited?! I did all this research on them and I just knew you’d be stoked about getting another one. I figured you wouldn’t mind having 2 of them. Also got you a new pair of those skin tight swim things you wear since your other ones tore from all the use it was getting. (I may not have the right size though so I hope it doesn’t squish anything – be careful getting it on.) Oh, also got you some sunscreen and a turtle trap and at the last minute I found a 2.2 Gig flash drive!!

Fred: What could I get a guy that already has everything? Seeing how I’m a Vegas lover like you – I have reeled in some favors owed to me from some of my wins and have arranged for you to have 4 days and 3 nights twice a year for the next 2 years at either Ceasars or the MGM. Have a stay on me in the gambling capital of the world! Sin City! Now, don’t go losing all your money!

Gabby: I got you your own personal web designer. She was EXPENSIVE so make sure you don’t let this go to waste. Also, I was able to talk to the Pet Shop Boys and convince them that you’re their biggest fan. They had been looking for their biggest fan for years and were so happy to know your name that they decided to give you a free concert on December 13th. Clear your calendar – I’ll be in touch with the location of the event.

Debi: Aww – Debi — I couldn’t really decide what to get for you, but Walmart was having a deal on computers this morning so I bought you a new one. I figured with all that typing you’ve been doing for your nanowrite thing that you’d probably burned the keyboard up on your current one. It’s not the best in the world but I’m sure it will hold up through your next novel.

MCB/CG: First off, I got you guys some diaphrams. You seem to use them regularly and I was worried that you might need more to be able to continue with all the lovemaking you 2 love to do. They had these really cool ones — everytime you thrust in deep and hit it it will scream “Do it again! Give me more! Now! Hit it baby!” I figured you guys would get a kick out of it since you’ve mentioned an interest in finding yourselves a 3rd person to join in — maybe this way you’ll hear a third person and just imagine another body there. Also got you guys some tickets to the Buckeyes bowl game. Herbstreet was able to help me out with these – (yeah, he owes me for some stuff back in the day) — hope you have a great time at the game!

Jelly: hehehehe — We’ll have to talk — I can’t type what I got you girl!!!! hehehe

Osbasso: Os – I had t-shirts and sweatshirts made up for you to wear and sale on your site. They read, “Os, the Wizard of HNT” & “HNT – Snap & Show!” Surely this will bring in some extra dough and well, who couldn’t use that??? Also, I was able to arrange free gas via Exxon through December 2006 — of course, this is to help with the expenses of OsTour! Get driving!

QoP: I was so happy to see that you are getting high speed internet that I wanted to make your venture into the 21st century a really really good one — I called the service provider and arranged for you to have high speed service FREE for an entire year! How about them apples Queen? I raised hell for you and told them it was ridiculous that they had lagged behind the times with this technology! I mean, how dare they deny the Queen? So, free! Don’t ya LOVE free? Oh, and I was able to snag you some prepaid gas cards too so you could drive to see Chuck and Susan. I figure it was the least I could do – you guys really do need to meet up! And finally, you have a gift certificate to Victoria’s Secret — they have some really pretty new pink bras and thongs and you must have them! (you know, for HNT!)

Scorpio: Marie, you were pretty easy to buy for — you would like anything I think. So, you have a case of margarita mix coming and a huge box of Godiva chocolates! Additionally, since I know how much you love to get away for long weekends, I worked it out with your new employer to give you another week of vacation and your hours have been changed on Fridays to allow for you to get off at noon.

Canadian Dude: I found this really huge pack of post it notes in all sorts of colors. I thought you could use these to further your egg jokes & drawings. You can never have too many of them, right? Also, you have tickets to the Letterman show in NYC for the week of New Years! Clear your calendar so you can go! And, since I have connections with someone who owns a car dealership, you’ll have a shiny red solstice appearing in the drive xmas morning! Enjoy!

Mikeh: Several weeks ago you asked for an iPod, so you have a video iPod on it’s way and year’s worth of all you can download from Apple! You also asked for a big screen tv — the only size they had was a 73″ so I hope that will be ok. Clear space for it – it’s a big ass son of bitch and I played hell getting them to ship it to you all the way out there in Phoenix!

Chuckeh: One of my favorite stores was running a deal on some *special* DVDs — I got you several of them – I’m quite certain you’ll enjoy them. Additionally, I was able to secure you your very own Hooters right there in Alabama! I figured this would be a fantastic gift for you becuase 1. you love hooters — the boobies 2. you are in the food business – and go to food shows, and 3. you Love to cook. Having your very own Hooters franchise would combine all 3!! And — truth be told, I figured if QoP or I ever got in a bind and needed a job you’d be first to offer us one….you know, because we love our tatas! (And you do too!)

Bo: Since I haven’t known you all that long it was a little difficult to figure out what to get you but I think I figured out something you’ll enjoy. We have this really great plastic surgeon here. He does work of all sorts but I consulted with him today and lined you up to get a butt replacement. Since you’ve had trouble keeping yours over the years I just know that you’ll be pleasantly pleased with this gift!

Ok – so that’s it folks and like I said, I’m broke so don’t go expecting anything else and don’t be complaining about what you got — it’s the thought that counts right? Right! So, what’s everyone buying me? Huh? What is it? I wanna know!!! If you’re stumped about what to get me, just ask, I’m not shy about telling you! …. and well, if I get a chance, I may just post my Christmas Wish List on here somewhere… you know, if anyone’s interested……..

Happy Turkey Day!

Hi guys — just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Make sure you take time out to remember those things that you’re truly thankful for…………………..like ME! hehe

I’ve Been Holding Out On You People….

If you watch football on Saturdays surely you know that my beloved Gamecocks lost yet again to Clemson. Damn it. Oh well. Another season, another rivalry game ending in a let down. This game aside, I guess I should be happy about the way our season played out. Let’s face it, going into the season we weren’t expected to win more than 3 games and look at what we did:

• We ended the season with a 7-4 record!
• We haven’t been to a bowl game since 2001, but we’re bowl bound this year!
• We beat Tennessee — for the first time EVER!
• We beat Florida — first time since 1939!
• And we ended the season tied for 2nd place in the SEC East!

I’d say that’s a pretty stellar year for us. Certainly we can do better and I fully anticipate us to just get better and better under the Ol’ Football Coach. Spurrier sure has made a definite and positive impact in just his first year with us & I can’t wait for next year’s college football season to start. All year I wait for college football to get here and then before you know it its all over with. …….. Cheers to a great season and Cheers to what the future holds for my Gamecocks!!!

Now…… On to what I’ve been holding out about. Several months ago I met this guy, “CC”, through a mutual friend. We conversed quite a bit & got to know one another a little and then when our schedules permitted we got together. We live about an hour and a half apart so it wasn’t like we could just meet up after work and go out. Anyway, we went out and had a good time. He’s a very social person (as am I) and therefore conversation was not lacking in the least. We were getting along so well that eventually it came that time of night for us to depart the scene and go back to his place. So depart we did. However, it was just outside the bar we had just left that he grabbed my arm, swung me around in front of him and layed a kiss on me. Rather forcefully I might add. I wasn’t really sure how to feel about the kiss since it was just out of the blue and harder than what I would normally anticipate but I just coughed it up to the fact that we had both been drinking and therefore it was a product of our state of mind — or rather his. It didn’t stop in the parking lot — it happened again leaning against the car, and again inside the car — I remember him telling me that he had been waiting all night to kiss me and just “couldn’t wait any longer”. Yeah, uh huh.

We arrived at his house and went inside where he began to play the guitar and sing to me. Ok – shut up – I know it sounds a little cheesy but it wasn’t — he could actually sing and what girl doesn’t like to be sung to? He poured us a drink or two (that should have been a mixed drink but was straight vodka) — & to say the least, we were both bordering on being hammered. I don’t normally get like that and since then have really almost stopped drinking all together but that night I was in another frame of mind. One thing led to another and before you knew it we were in the bedroom going at it….for what seemed like hours. The roughness of his kisses earlier I now knew should have been a clue for what to expect later. Not only were his kisses rough but his bedroom antics were on the rough side as well.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I like some rough and raw action at times — times when I’ve been with someone for a while and know them really well, times when we haven’t been drinking and our minds aren’t under the influence of alcohol, and times when rough or raw is just the emotion of how 2 people are feeling —- but when you get “rough” the first time you’re with someone it sort of freaks you out — or well, it freaked me out. I was sort of caught off guard and a little unnerved at whether or not this was his normal way of doing things or whether this was just, again as I say, a product of the drinking.

The next morning we were laying in bed talking about the events of the night before. When I mentioned that the door to his bedroom just “came open” during the night (as a result of his roommate and roommate’s g/f coming home and shutting the front door) and that his roommate came and stood in the doorway for a second watching us have sex before he shut it back, “CC” looked a little baffled. I, of course, remember his roommate standing there looking at us in all our humping glory and then calmly shutting the door — “CC” didn’t remember a thing. It was then that I knew that surely he didn’t remember being so rough either. So I, carefully trying not to damage his ego, told him about his roughness. He apologized over and over and that was that.

………… Months later, here we are. He’s been out of the state on business for quite some time — I coughed up our lack of talking or seeing each other to the fact that I bruised his ego and that we weren’t dating and neither of us owed the other any explanations for our whereabouts. But he’s been calling the last several weeks and telling me that he hated that he’s been out of town on business and that we haven’t had time to really see where this “could go.” He’s told me that he wants to explore a relationship with me and he’s been inundating me with complimenets I’m not good at taking. He’s all the time telling me how pretty & sexy he thinks I am, and how he loves my hair, and that he really loves the fact that I’m intelligent and have a career. People — compliments are hard for me — they always have been. I’ve just really learned to say “Thank you” when someone gives me one. To be honest, I find myself questioning his motives. Does he really mean them or it is just a ploy to sleep with me again? A way to “right” his “wrong” and un-bruise his ego…. His comments and intent seem to be genuine – but who the hell really knows?

Not only is he calling during normal hours, but he’s calling at any time he feels the need to talk to me — which means at 2 and 3 in the morning when I’m asleep. Granted he was out with friends and claimed he didn’t realize what time it was when he called – and he did call the next day to apologize……..

So, I guess I’m pondering what really to do — should I cough up the last experience to the effects of alcohol and give this a try with him? See if or where it could go? Or do I trust the intial feelings I had and just say thanks but no thanks?

Now that you’ve wasted about 5 minutes of your time reading this, tell me what you think. What would you do? Any advice folks? I don’t ask for your opinions ofen so take advantage of the time that I do —- what to do people????????

Rivalry! HNT!!

So, this weekend is the big rivalry instate football game between my favorite college team, the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and that orange team otherwise known as Clemson. I can’t stand Clemson and for the last couple of years they’ve owned this rivalry.
