2010 Review Part 2!!

 

So It's Time for Part 2!! April, May and June! There also were not a lot of posts from these months, I seem to have lost some of my blogging mojo in the first half of the year!

April

I joined in on Short Mama’s Journey from Muffin Top to Skinny Jeans, I made a lot of resolutions that I have not kept, although reading back now, I plan to try again!

My Best Friend M had some serious Misadventures in Romance  in her life, I am glad to say she divorced Navyboi finally, (read that post for more information on the two not so great men in her life.) but she is still talking to MarineBoi and he is still hitting her.. she is distancing herself from him though, so I am very glad of that.

I had a very bad month With the Passing of my Papa, which tore me apart inside, I did not get to say goodbye because of my mother and I have a lot of regrets from that whole situation, because I didn’t know that later this year I would also loose my Uncle.

I participated in Short mama's Spring Swap!! I got so Many Wonderful things!! If she ever host’s another I plan to sign right up!!

 

May

May Was a very stressful month for me:

I ranted about the way some people behave in a hotel, through a collection of cute sticky notes.

James Dean and Ingio Montoya stayed at my hotel!

I tried to find my style only to realize that I don’t really have one although I’d love to wear the clothes I showed!!

I got kicked out, moved back in and kicked out once more, quit my job, got a new one! and moved back in again. all in 1.5 weeks

I found out my new hotel was closing… then being kept open…. then closing again

 

June

another worried and sucky month for me, Still was worried about losing my job and paying for the apartment on my own.

Lost the job officially, it was a really bad week for me!

My mother and I had some issues,

So I was jobless and paycheck-less, but I got a lot of things done!

I avoided Temptation.

Got my paycheck and Prue Moved in!!

Told a little about me!!!

The Wonderful Ladies in charge of the Recap Buttons!!

They are all Wonderful Blogs and Great Stories!! 

 

Day 25 Thanksgiving

Day 25: Your day, in great detail

So My day was tiring, I was at work from 10 pm on Wednesday until 8:39 this morning,  then I went home to cook. I made Thanksgiving dinner completely by myself this year,  turkey, stuffing, dressing, and mashed sweet potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce too.
I had dinner with Prue, her daughter, (my niece), Airforce, Jujube, Prue’s romantic interest, and my Daddy. They all enjoyed my food, apparently I am good at cooking poultry, everyone commented on it. Then after dinner everyone left and I tried to sleep for a few hours, until M and her sister came to eat, the enjoyed the food too lol.
after that was work and then home to spend all of Black Friday in bed!

Because I Could be Super Woman….

 

I always wanted to be Super Woman… something about her just made me a happy camper.. I don’t know if it was the bracelets, or the invisible Plane, or the Lasso of  Truth, but I wanted to be her.

If I couldn’t be Her, I wanted to be Sam, For some reason I was determined to be Samantha, I even taught myself to twitch my nose.

So why am I mentioning this?

 

Well Prue called me her own Personal Super Woman the other day and I laughed it off but still, I have been rather heroic lately lol.

There was the time Prue’s tire blew on the express way, I turned around picked her and my niece ( I need to figure out what to call her lol) up and rushed to see if we could buy a tire, then me Prue and my dad went and changed the tire.

Which brings us to yesterday, I was asleep and resting my fractured ankle at 9 am when the phone rings, didn’t recognize the number so I didn’t answer it. they left a message and I checked it, after the first few words I was calling them back I mean what would you do when the voice says “This is the Forrest Acre Police Department”? I called back and found out the Prue and her daughter were stranded on the roadside, they had been pulled over and the car towed… I jumped up grabbed my crutches and drove to get them.

Then later we drove to Orangeburg, and Charleston to get her Fiancée and then back to Columbia (about 150  mi each way) then up to Winnsboro to get her son for the weekend.

I tried to explain to Prue that Family is Family and you help family but she said that I was her personal Super Hero lol.

So Things May Be Better!!!

 

I got a Paycheck today. It was one of the ones that my previous job owed me.. so now I just need the last one!

I can pay bills!!! I am SO Freaking Happy about that!!

Who is happy to pay bills??

I have a job interview today at 5 pm!! I can’t wait. It is for a retail position with possible Assistant manager position! I hope that I get it!!

 

My friend Prue moved in with me yesterday, she her boyfriend, daughter and son are staying with me until they can find a new place.

She joked that we had used to talk about buying a house together and we would all live there.

So now we are, when my dad found that out he told me a story about my uncle and aunt and himself when they were kids.

but that’s another story.

make sure you run over to Keely’s and check out the other randoms!!

Writer's Workshop: Tales From The ER

Well this is late and I am sorry Mama Kat because well it is really late but this is my story for your workshop today.

4.) List ten things you would say to ten different people in your life...if you had the hutzpah

and

Your trip to the ER...spill it.

First top ten things I will not put names here because well, that's just not nice.

1. Why are you still talking to him?? He scammed you out of $2,000 what does it take to learn a lesson?

2. Yes you are being a b**ch

3. I am your friend and as your friend I need you to leave now, so I can stay your friend.

4. Why did you marry him? he treats you like crud.

5. I think we need to talk...

6. if you run away and don't tell anyone where you are going one more time so help me....

7. church, church, church if you are such a church loving person why are you sleeping with three other people and why do you try to fore your ideals on me??

8. all that drinking is going to kill you one day.

9. Yes you smell like smoke, if you smoke a half of a pack in an enclosed area you will!

10. I am not your mother, so stop making me act like it!

Okay now that that is out of my system the ER trip.... this one might actually have to be in parts because well its a long story.

I was 18, I turned 18 the week before, I was working as a waitress at a deli for crappy money and even crappy tips, because people think that deli''s pay you more. They don't.

I had just gotten an assistant manager position at Ultra Tan, they were building one near me, I was supposed to start a week after I came back from my two week vacation to Myrtle each with my family. I was about to quit the restaurant. (see I was doing a lot of stuff)

When Prue and Piper called to ask if I wanted to go to Skyline, (I finally got to go this year!) I had always been to young to go before, so they would drop me off and go and tell me what a fun time I missed the next day.

I was ecstatic! I was going to Skyline! I told my parents I couldn't go to Choir practice because I was going out, but I knew my part and would sing on Sunday. I rushed into the bathroom to get ready as soon as they were out of the door.

Here's where the dramatic part comes in, We had the AC unit installed the week before, they installed it upside down or backward or something along those lines, the water was supposed to drain only the drain was running uphill and instead it leaked through the vent onto the tile in the bathroom. Airforce had tried to make the bathroom smell good by spraying Endust into it before they left, which kinda creaked a slick surface, I slid and flew and slammed my head on the back of the tub, knocking myself out for a few moments.

This would have been normal for me (I actually visited the ER a lot as a child I was very klutzy) but when I came to I wasn't in pain, I sat there for a few and took an inventory, neck okay, slight headache, arms and wrists fine, legs.... wow that one doesn't look right... lets move it and fix it... OWWW OWWW OWWWW NOT GOOD!!! Yes that was my though process. I should have called 911 I know. But I called Piper and Prue. they had already left so I called Cowboy Prue's then husband. He said he would try to get them. Then I called my parents ( I had my cell in my pants pocket thank god) they didn't answer so i called Kensei who was in TN, he called every Baptist Church he could find online until he got the one they were at and told them to come home.

When They got home my dad was positive I had sprained my ankle and told me to stand on it, while he was helping me up the agony shooting though me caused me to finally yell "Someone call freaking 911 already!!"

So they did.

The fire department came and then the ambulance and the ER guy with the most beautiful blue eyes I ever saw... could have been the pain... the collard and boarded me and off we went, but things actually got worse from there....

And this is becoming longer than I thought so I think that I will post the rest tomorrow!!

Writer's Workshop: Paranoid? Who's paranoid??

It's time for the wonderful, the amazing, the beautiful, generous, all around perfect Mama Kat's writer's workshop.

Before I get into the prompts I wanted to let you all know that Piper and I have made our first post on Because I said So.. So if you are feeling a little wanderlust wander on over there and read all about how we rock and horror movies that try to kill me.

Okay now that that is out of the way I was reading Mama Kat's prompts and well they were a little too serious for me this week, all of my posts lately have been a serious twist and I need a little funny. So I am writing three of them:

2.) When I grow up I want to be like...

This was a little hard for me because I am not sure who I want to be when I grow up. I am not even sure WHAT I want to be when I grow up

I know that I want to be feisty and fiery like Catherine Zeta Jones in Zorro's one and two.




I also never want to lose my romantic side. I want to always believe in love like Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle, I want to be willing to give up everything like Kate and Leopold and French Kiss and I want to keep my sense of humor and love of books like You've Got Mail.































There are so many characteristics that I want but am not sure of yet. This I will revisit later



4.) List 5 things you like to do while camping...or 5 places you'd like to go.
I don't really do the outdoors so here are five places I want to go! In pictures none the less:

I want to go to Scotland:
Particularly The highlands I have read so much about them that I really want to just visit if only once.
I also want to go to Japan, this would be mostly for shopping I love everything Japanese and going there would be a dream come true.
I also would love to go to Venice The city of magic and water. I love Italy, Sicily and Greece because my Nana was born there I want to visit more than anything.
Rome for the same reason as Venice my Papa was born there
And I want to go back to NYC I love the city and I miss it. I lived there for a while and well I am I not sure I'd live there again I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to visit.


This is turning out to be a rather picture heavy post...


The next prompt.

What Am I Paranoid About??

Everything!! I am one of those obsessive people who worry themselves into early graves. I am Paranoid about anything happening to Jujube, I make her call me all the time.
I am Paranoid about classes I tend to psych myself out before tests.
I am Paranoid about all sorts of things. While I am optimistic by nature I am also the girl who will jump right to the worst possible conclusions. I didn't hear from Prue for a week once after she made an odd comment to me, She had told me that she wouldn't be home for a while. I didn't hear from her for a week by the time she called I was picturing her and my niece in a car accident with twisted metal and bloody bodies. There was one time where Jujube wasn't home and I went right to someone had kidnapped her. I like to be sunny but with everything out there I do jump right to the bad I am sad to admit.


Okay one last thing and I will let you go, Poor Jujube had a problem last night she was bending down to hang up a towel and slammed her head onto the door hinge, there is a slightly deep halfmoon in her forehead now. I am not sure what to make of it. Also I am slightly annoyed with Herbal Essences right now. With my Paranoid worrying I get a lot of grey hair so I have been coloring my hair from the end of high school. I wanted to go natural and bought two boxes of ASH BROWN and when I finished my hair was JET BLACK!!!! I must have picked the only two boxes of black masquerading as brown. It doesn't look to bad but it is a shock. I will get Piper to post a picture later.

Poor Jujube's head after the band-aid went on. Don't you just feel sorry for her?

Last Night:....

Last Night was fun... sort of... This is going to be a little rant, a little story, and who knows what else so here goes.

As I said yesterday I was going out with my friend I haven't been out with in a long time last night, we also invited another friend for a little while too. Piper, Prue and I went out to shoot pool at a sports bar called Bailey's.
Prue's boyfriend has been a general prick and treats her like crap, he's always calling to check on her and ask what she's doing and who she's with and always accusing her of messing around with other guys. Now in my opinion this behavior is typical for a high school or early college boy but JD is 35 years old and should know better.
Anyways he told Prue she could go out and so we did. We shot five games of pool, she won four and I won one. poor Piper didn't win any. at about 9:40 10 Piper said she had to leave because she was going to church in the morning, Prue wanted to go dancing and I was okay, I just reminded her I did have work at 6:30 am and so I needed to be home by the latest 1 am. Just so you know I didn't get home until 4.
but that's where the story comes in: So we went to this club in SC called the Skyline Club, I've never been before but I figured why not Prue has been telling me how great it is for years. So we went when we were waiting in line to get in we ran into someone she knew, and invited him to sit with us, then on the way to a table we ran into some other people we both knew. Now apparently JD was at the club to watching us, Prue had a few drinks and danced a few times with, lets call the guys by their hats for this one to protect the innocent and all that, so Prue danced with Baseball cap (BBC) who she had known from elementary school on. she didn't slow dance, but she did dance like 5 times with him. Then we were all sitting/standing against a wall and talking, Prue went to dance with yellow cowboy hat (YCH) and Black cowboy hat (BCH) asked me what she was doing, I responded dancing, he looked at me strange and walked off.
Next thing that happened was BBC and Prue came back and Prue said she wanted one last drink before we left. I told her okay and then she said she wanted me to drink it with her. now for the record I have a freaking low booze tolerance, I mean heck wine coolers make me giggly. So BBC grabbed her hand and she grabbed mine and we started walking to the bar and all the sudden JD's hand slammed down on her shoulder and he literally began to drag her across the room. BBC wanted to punch him right then. I told him it wouldn't be a great idea and then he gathered up a bunch of his friends to help if needed. JD and Prue were screaming at each other and Prue told me to go stand by the door, I did just in case we were leaving but I wanted to keep an eye on her too. JD stormed over to me and grabbed me and yelled into my ear that I needed to tell Prue not to come back to his house again and that she could F*** anyone she wanted. I looked for her and found her crying in the bathroom.
Apparently he had told her the night before that he "Loves her, and always will because they had a kid together, but he's not in love with her and hasn't been in almost a year" He was angry that she had danced with a guy and that she was having fun and upset her. Now its midnight by this time, she finally calms down enough and decides that she wanted to go have another drink, and I was like its okay with me. So she went to the bar and ordered four shots of Jack and a coke. handed two to me and took two herself. the next few hours were kind of a blur of her dancing with BBC and them trying to make me dance with them, and BBC and Prue making out. we left when the place closed at 3:00 well we sat in the car at 3 anyways and finally made the 45 min drive back to my place afterward. I got her a room at the hotel and told her to stay there, but after they dropped me off, BBC convinced her to drink more and she woke up in his apartment this morning. Now while this was going on, JD went to the babysitters house BROKE down the door and took the boy but left the daughter. Then called her every three min and yelled at her, she got aggravated and turned off her phone so he tried calling mine, at about 4:30 when I was trying to sleep I turned mine off as well and so he called her family and told them the daughter was sick and he couldn't get Prue so her family has been worried all night. (daughter is fine btw never was sick) she's finally on her way to talk to him and hopefully get her son back because I don't think that JD is going to give him up now.


Has anyone else had a night that started out good and ended in Major Drama? I'd love to hear about it if you have.
