Million Dollar Woman? No, $100 Plastic Woman I Think

Thank you to everyone that sent along their good wishes. It meant a lot to me. I went back to work Tuesday and I think perhaps I should have taken it easy one more day. My thighs are still hurting but they feel better than where the iv was. Seriously? Did they leave part of the iv catheter thingy thing in there? I compare how it feels to my other wrist topside and there's something there. And it hurts. A lot. You know when they put the iv needle in, then take the needle out leaving the plastic "vessel" type who ha in there? Yeah, that thing. I think it's in there. Or part of it. It's rock hard and hurts like hell. There's some minor tingling in my hand but nothing to cause concern. It's not blue or freezing cold so that's a plus. Hmph. It'll be a week tomorrow. Monday I'm calling someone's ass to find out what the dealio is.

Is it wrong that my mother in law and I have been too lazy tired to cook dinner for the children and ourselves so we ordered pizza last night and I picked up Culver's tonight with some DQ on the side? Yeah, I didn't think that was wrong either. Thanks. (I do, however, think that sentence went on entirely way too long) (I'm just saying)

So Olivia is in Iraq. I'm sending a package to her Saturday morning (I have to wait for the new gossip magazines to hit the stands here). We're sending along some artwork from the kids and some photos of them with signs for her. I think it'll cheer her up (if she's even down) (I'm serious, the girl is in a perpetually good mood. All the time) (even when she's mad at the same person we all are, she giggles. She's so cute) (I miss her) (OK, I'm done)

I'm just babbling. I miss the Captain. He's in Chi-Town for a trade show and comes home tomorrow.

Oh and I joined a gym. Yes, the kind you exercise at.

For those of you who know me in real life, I'll wait for you to recover from that last bit of news. No, really, go ahead and pass out. I can wait.


K. So it's $29 a month and it's a small place, next to work (not that I can go there afterwards, they're closed then) and they don't have showers (so I can't go right before work cause, um, yeah). I do know some of the staff since they shop at our store on their breaks. I think I'm going to like it. My mother in law will have Peanut on Mondays and Wednesdays over at my niece's place so while Monkey Boy is in school, a sweating I will go. Mandyland is coming with me too, she said so. She said we can talk the whole time and it'll seem like we aren't exercising. I would believe her but um, I haven't run for more than 20 seconds since 8th grade gym. (I had back surgery the beginning of my Frosh year. No PE for my high school career, thank you Lord Jesus Almighty for that golden pass. I'll write a post about that someday). So, yeah, the Broad is going to the gym. Watch out.

First field trip ever for Monkey Boy yesterday. I'll post more about that tomorrow. I think the gym news is more than enough for my offline friends right now.

Keep on keeping on!

(God! I am such a weirdo!)

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
