Oh for the love of Barbara….
Hi friends,
It’s November which means “hell month” in my house. Last year, other than getting married, Luke broke his arm and David sprained his ankle within days of each other. This year, our tub drain gave out leaving a nasty wet stain on the living room ceiling and we are pretty much broke. Thank you George W. for fucking up something else.
To backtrack, David and I did have a fantastic anniversary, despite the aforementioned drama. It’s times like these that make me feel 100% happy with my decision to rent. It’s a wonderful feeling to call the maintenance staff and ask that they fix the issue and have a big ‘NOT MY PROBLEM’ attitude. They are even going to come back in a week or so and fix the mess that is now the living room ceiling. And, barring any unforeseen disasters, we will be caught up financially by the end of December. It’s just going to be a very thrifty Christmas.
Speaking of George W. (see above), the election is finally over. I am really happy for Barack Obama and feel that he will be a good president. Now, please, let’s shut up about it and get to the real meat and potatoes of the issue: Stimulus Package. The American people (namely moi) need some financial aid to help boost the economy. So bring it!
I am now on day four of a five day vacation. It went way too fast! I like my job and all for the most part, but I also like watching TV and relaxing and sleeping in. Today, I am completely childless as Luke is off with my units and Alexa has school all day. I was able to sleep in one day out of the break and may be able to sneak in a nap this afternoon. I really, really, really want to go to the bookstore, grab a nice pumpkin spice coffee and a fresh copy of Twilight and do fuck all for the rest of the day. But, I will clean and do laundry instead. Tomorrow, I am going to the flea market and then off to the fabric store with my friend Heather. Then, before you know it, it’s back to work time! Ugh!
At present, I am making homemade cream of chicken rice soup. Delectable! It’s cold as hell and this is a nice throw it in the crockpot and sit in front of the TV and watch your soaps kinda creation. Which honestly, are the best kind of creations.
Until next time….
