"RED'S DAILY INSANITY"

Another monster vet bill :(

2010-09-05T10:38:00.000-04:00

Long story short, Bunny boo was in the hospital from Monday - Saturday, near death. Diagnosis still unknown. Because of the holiday, she's home with me - seeing how she does.

She's on more meds than a 200 year old man would be, and shes starting to hate me for chasing her down with a dropper 5 times a day.

Total bill SO FAR this time, $813. Eek. I have 6 months to pay it off, courtesy of a Care Credit card designed for such emergencies. I'm sure there will be more $$ involved though, since we simply don't know whats going on in her tiny little body, despite many blood draws, x-rays and an ultrasound.

So, I'll prolly be selling my *ss on Ebanned again for a while, I see no other way to pay this off.

Dang...

2010-07-05T08:50:00.000-04:00

I lost 4 lbs in 2 days....Yowzers.

Being sick......

2010-07-04T21:14:00.001-04:00

Is a hell of a way to lose weight, but I'll take it.

Been sick for over a day now, and lost a few lbs in that short time.

I'm pretty sure that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll have met my next weight loss goal (5 lb increments). That would make a total of 17 lbs lost in one year.

May not seem like much, but doing it solely on food changes and exercise makes it harder than cheating with pills!

Its hotter than hades outside.....

2010-06-19T15:10:00.000-04:00

Ugh...its like 90 outside...hot and sunny..and yet I pick today to put in the flowerbed in the backyard..in full sun...I am sweating like a hog! Of course, it will all be so worth it in the end.

Gonna have to pamper myself a bit later....cool shower, mini pedicure...hair color...maybe some self tanner...Oh speaking of, had another skin biopsy almost 2 weeks ago..came back benign..THANK GOD.

Bunny Boo the cat is doing GREAT! She takes her meds like a champ (unlike Gus)...she'll be done with the course soon, and then I get to try and get a clean urine sample from her..now THAT will be fun! If that comes back OK, then she starts thyroid treatment.

Thanks to those of you that sent money to help with her vet bills!

OH NO...sick kitty :(

2010-06-12T10:24:00.000-04:00

Bunny boo is sick :(

I came home from work 2 days ago to find blood around the kitchen. It was weird...like it was just blood, not bloody urine which would equate to a urinary tract infection in one of the kitties. Both of them, Gus and Bunny, acted perfectly fine - which is odd, because normally you can tell when a kitty isnt feeling well immediately. I checked both of them over, found no blood....a complete mystery.

I put Bunny outside to separate them, hoping that would shed light on the happenings. Nothing visible.

So last night, both cats were in. Woke up today to more blood in the kitchen. OMG...what is going on! Then I see it, Bunny squatting down.....it was bloody urine - although I still swear it is pure blood.

I rushed her to the vet at 9, when they open..of course, they couldn't see her right away. I have to wait until 1215. Had to then beg the garage to do my oil change 2 hours early so I could make the 1215. My garage is awesome. Done deal in 20 minutes, flat.

So now I'm going to have a big vet bill for Bunny - she's 15, so I could not get insurance for her (your cat can't be more than 10 years old). I have it for Gus after his near death experience last year, so at least if he gets sick it won't break me.

Below is a chipin, I dont know what the total bill will be yet, but I certainly wasn't planning for this.

I think I am losing my mind....today's project

2010-06-01T13:36:00.002-04:00

I have decided I do not know how to relax, given several days off.

Today's project, mini-deck makeover. Mom's retirement bash is next weekend, and I want to the house to be PERFECT.

So, out come the paintbrushes....and the camera!

Busy busy busy!!!!

2010-05-30T17:59:00.000-04:00

I have been sooo busy this weekend..so many house projects !!!!

Today I spent hours mulching the front flower beds, with black color mulch. Wow...what a mess. I was covered in it - I had to take a bath and scrub it off! And talk about hot out, its pushing 90 degrees..Yeah, I bet I smelled like a goat :)

I took a break this afternoon and made stuff for dinner..I"m gonna grill me a big ribeye, tuna/macaroni salad, and banana pudding complete with nilla wafers and fresh bananas. MMMM...a reward for my hard work :)

On a sour note, would you believe I got STOOD UP last night? WTF. I have THE worst luck with men. Why are some of you so shitty?

I listed an auction last weekend to promote my site upgrade and new store, and wow..there are actually bids!! Lots of them. I wasnt expecting that, but its much needed cause my sister and I are throwing a retirement party for my mom next weekend and I could use the cash to buy food, decorations, etc. I didnt realize how much I missed watching an auction unfold either, so maybe I'll list a few more since its a long weekend...I am not going back to work until Wednesday! Woot Woot.

Hope everyone is staying cool and safe,

Thank you!

I quit!

2010-05-15T20:39:00.000-04:00

I've given up on repairing my store.

I'm so pissed I cant see straight. Screw you Dreamhost for doing this to me!

Just started to install replacement software, 'Zencart'. Its gonna suck trying to learn a new package, but I've heard this is a great option.

We'll see.

The webstore is broken!!!!

2010-05-02T11:09:00.000-04:00

aaaaah!

In attempting to do a site update, I just found that the store at Coderedhead.net is broken!!! I dont know how long its been down, but that explains why I have not had any orders :( I'm way surprised that no one told me!

Anyhoo, I've submitted a support ticket to my webhost for help.

My facebook page was also deleted (what luck I have lately!) - And FB would not answer my emails as to why! Bastards! Well screw them, I created a new one:

I do apologize for the lack of blog activity - Blogger transitioned away from FTP publishing - which I had - and I was lazy about migrating to their new format. But its done, so look for more blog entries.

Been a busy girl - its been lovely outside in Ohio for the most part (today is icky and rainy, thus the updates) - been planting new flower babies outside, and throwing mulch around - and hurting myself (getting old is a biach) - and hanging out with the family.

Hope all is well with all of you lovelies!

3 new tires - Ugh!

2009-11-23T20:12:00.000-05:00

So, I went to get my oil changed Saturday morning. As I was getting ready to checkout, the manager says "you do know you're going to need 3 new tires before winter"....AAAAH! What blasphemy! Damnit! Its almost December - meaning winter will be "anytime now" in OH.

I purchased one tire a few months ago, and had sticker shock - apparently the shithead that had the car before me replaced the stock 16" tires with big giant 17" ones (to go along with the after market rims that he didnt include the key for either!).

The tires are $150 each, installed - assuming I can get the same ones I got last time - KUMO brand perhaps or something similiar (I'm not going outside in the cold to look)

Dang...couldn't be a worse time of year! Seriously!!

More fake sellers on Ebanned

2009-11-21T23:18:00.002-05:00

Hello everyone...as soon as we get some fake sellers booted, more come on in to take their places. So sad :(

Instead of me regurgitating information, read about the next round of fake ass bitches in MUP's blog.

http://jackculdesac.blogspot.com/

Get what you pay for - real stinky panties from real chics!

PAY MY FEES...UGH

2009-11-16T05:44:00.002-05:00

Ugh. If I see one more "pay my fees bitch" auction, I think I am going to barf!

@#$# I just saw one....hurl, chuck, barf, projectile vomit pea soup...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

So much going on........

2009-11-11T11:50:00.002-05:00

I know, I'm a blog slacker5...it just seems like I've been way busier than normal.

Anyhoo, some big news - Nephew #2 is scheduled to arrive Friday the 13th. I'm way excited - I'll have less time for ya'll for a while though because I'll be helping out with him and Bean #1.

Pinup workshop is Sat. I'm a bit stressed. NOTHING I ordered on-line fit the first go 'round. It all went back. Dresses from Pinupgirlclothing arrived yesterday - not without drama. Their delivery policy stinks - Signature required. Guess what, some people work during the day and can't be home when Fedex delivers. I had to go pickup the package. The glimmer in that was that they just opened a facility 1/2 mile from work, so it was convenient. As soon as I finish this entry, I am going to try on the dresses. I also ordered more stuff from Fredericks on 11/2 - it is nowhere in sight, and their customer service was useless! I re-ordered the same items today and had them Express overnighted for delivery tomorrow. GRRRRR. Something best fit out of this bunch or I will have a coronary.

Work has kept me really really busy - I didnt think I would still be this swamped - fiscal year end is over! Dang! Nevertheless, I am thankful to be busy because the days go quickly.

I'm going to try to get the H1N1 Friday since I'll be taking care of the nephews - I really hope I dont get turned away. I read last weeks clinic refused someone with asthma. It shocked me.

Well, lots to do today so I best get crackin~!

Yay, County fair time + GRAMMAR SNOB

2009-10-11T09:30:00.002-04:00

Yippee, today starts the Fairfield County Rip-off! (aka County Fair).

I think I only went for a few hours last year, so this year I'm going to make up for it.

My sis and I are taking the nephew tomorrow - he's old enough to want to go on rides now with Aunt Schmoo (that's me). Thursday night is the Combine demo derby, and Sat. night is the car demo derby. As for the food, it will be hard not to gain any of my weight back. Maybe I can go "halfsies" with sis on some things - like deep fried pickles with ranch dressing...reeses pieces ice cream parfait...corn dog smothered in mustard...oh good lord I am in trouble! My new skinny jeans might take a beating!

******

I am a total grammar snob. Poor grammar and spelling make me bonkers - I will not lie! So this is what's been making me nuts....

I HAVE THIS XXX PANTIE FOR SALE. Geezuz..its PANTY not PANTIE!!! WTF!

I'll leave it at that.

*****

I spent another Sat. night attempting to assemble the bed I purchased from Walmart.com. Mind you, if something requires assembly, I usually do not buy it. I am terrible at it, and when I see a bag of parts, my brain short circuits. But, because I want my sister and nephew to spend the night with me and NOT on an unstable futon with no bathroom nearby, I sucked it up. At one point last evening, I was ready to torch the mother fucker. My thumb is really really sore from trying to fenagle a screw that WOULD NOT COOPERATE. I threw the son of a bitch across the room (the screw, not my thumb, LOL).

I totally jacked up a thing or two, but I am sure the bed wont collapse, LOL....well, as long as there isnt any funny business going on...ha ha.

*****

Work has been super stressful. I need some time off. I've been saving it all up for when sis has Bean #2 in November. Thank god its a 3 day weekend. I may cave and take a day off next week though, because its the famous Circleville Pumpkin show.

****

I'm still reeling that my customer "J" bought the pinup workshop for me. I will definitely need the fun and esteem boost that it promises. I just looked and they've picked a location - it would be about as far away as possible, LOL - but definitely snazzy and swanky.

****

Well, I'm off for now - I really need to do some auctions this weekend, so maybe I'll hit that up.

Have a safe weekend!

Send me to BOMBSHELL BETTY'S PINUP WORKSHOP - 11/15

2009-10-03T18:12:00.003-04:00

This my dear friends, would be an absolute DREAM come true for me. When I was younger I wanted to be a fitness model. One of my favorite shows is Americas Next Top Model and I ADORE Project Runway. I am fascinated with fashion and the industry as a whole. Throw in my love of all things vintage and "retro", and this workshop is the perfect match for me.

The cost of the workshop is $250, but I also need clothes and shoes, and most likely a night at the venue (whatever that is determined to be).

I emailed Bombshell Betty earlier today, asking her how many photos one can expect to receive.

I plan on sharing those photos with those that contribute to making this happen for me.

*** POST EDITED BECAUSE OF MY SUPER AMAZING CUSTOMERS IS PAYING FOR EVERYTHING I need...You know how amazing you are, don't you?? ***

Yes, I am going to have to pinch myself now!

Ebanned Auctions - may stop sooner than planned

2009-09-17T20:53:00.003-04:00

Seriously. It isnt worth my time anymore. I spend hours creating auctions every weekend, to have 1 end with bids - if that.....Guess I'm old hat! I'll find other ways to spend my free time.

GO ME, GO ME.....

2009-09-12T10:07:00.002-04:00

OH yeah, go me!!!!

I measured my waist today. Lost 1.5 more inches since Aug 1.

Lost 11 lbs total this summer.

I have 10 more to go and then I'll decide if that's where I want to be.

I'm thrilled that I have been able to do this without any pills or hoakey diet plans.

Its all been eating healthier, fewer calories/portion control, and stepping up the exercise (which has been almost entirely cardio, except for tummy exercises).

I am reclaiming my body!!! Yay!!!

I'VE DONE IT - 1st WEIGHT LOSS MILESTONE

2009-08-15T08:50:00.003-04:00

Hell Yeah!!! Take that, Mr Muffin Top! I'm in control now - you're so on your way OUT!

I've officially met my 1st milestone, which was to drop 5 lbs after returning from vacation in early June. Total lost = 8 lbs this summer.

Total goal = 20-30 lbs , with 5 lb increment milestones (hey, those little steps are major victories) :)

***********

No more word from THE PLUMBER - What a relief. I guess the text I sent him telling him that next time he pulled that shit I was calling the police, actually sunk in *evil grin*

**********

Edit: OMG..I was riding my bike bck from my hair appt...and some bitch ran over a kitten AND DIDNT EVEN @#$@# stop. It was flopping in the road. I pulled the bike over - it was obviously going to die, she ran over its head - there was blood everywhere - I picked it up and moved it onto the grass, and petted it until it died. I said "you're not going to die alone baby". I cant beliee she didnt stop. The kitty was probably just weened. This just rips my heart out :(

WTF....I still hate you after 7 months

2009-08-04T20:33:00.002-04:00

I went to bed early last night, I was soooo tired.

At 130 am, I am in the middle of my REM cycle and I THINK I hear my doorbell. I woke up, heart pounding..Gus jumped off the bed...I laid back down thinking I was imagining it...well NO...RING RING RING...THEN POUND POUND POUND ON MY BEDROOM WINDOW....

IT WAS THE FUCKING PLUMBER. After 7 months of NO CONTACT (and me changing my # and avoiding him successfully)...he has the NERVE to KNOCK ON MY DAMNED DOOR in the middle of the night??

I was shocked...honestly I wanted to open the door and punch him in the nose, like I should have back then.

Finally after 15 minutes, he went away.

I hope he doesnt come back.

Dad passed away a year ago tomorrow....

2009-07-19T09:37:00.004-04:00

I miss you just as much today as I did a year ago :(

Tomorrow we're having a fish fry in your honor, complete with stank ass Wild Cat beer, tears, and "the" 1 hour 8 mm video.

Love you, miss you - wish I could hug you right now.

M

I like the direction this is going...Weight Loss

2009-07-18T09:30:00.003-04:00

When I was on vacation, I came to the realization that I am FAT!!! At least, to myself I am. If you knew where I'd come from, that would make sense to you and you would agree - I used to weigh 105 lbs, and I lifted weights to GAIN weight (5 days a week, 1-2 hours each day) - Yeah, I was kinda obsessed at that time and I wanted to be a fitness model! LOL. So, 60 lbs later - yeah, I'm not happy with myself.

I never considered myself a "poor eater" - I know how to read labels, and I know what I SHOULD eat - that is 1/2 the battle for most people. However, I will admit that I've developed some bad habits lately - probably because I find comfort in food when I'm stressed out or feeling down. Those bad habits included ice cream several times a week (I can sit down and eat 1/2 gallon of Edy's slow churned with no problem) - yeah, its "slow churned" but if you eat half the container! Well ya know that's not good! And I love me some Dairy Queen, Sonic Blasts-Graeters....MMMM. And I do enjoy some fast food - it tastes sooooo good! MMMM.

Anyhoo, the bad habits have to be controlled if I am to lose some lbs. So, almost 2 weeks ago (it will be 2 weeks this coming Tues)....I started making the changes I needed to. No more "BLT with egg on Croissont for breakfast" - ice cream ONCE a week - FAST food ONCE a week - FRIED food once a week, TOPS. If I can do without ANY of these things, then GO ME. I replaced the ice cream in the freezer with frozen yogurt so I can put fresh berries on it...yummy for summer berries. I have been exercising in the form of riding my bike - but I stepped it up to more frequent, longer rides.

So in this short time I've changed some things, I've lost 3-4 lbs - I am 2 lb s away from my FIRST TARGET (I'm targeting in 5 lb increments). The ultimate goal is to be a comfortable Size 7 again (I used to be a 3).

The really awesome thing is that when I do lose weight, it does NOT come off the boobies! It always comes off my problem area first - AKA "THE MUFFIN TOP ZONE."

I do have to recommend a book for everyone that is just trying to eat better in general and maybe lose a few lbs in the process- it is called "EAT THIS NOT THAT" (you can get it at amazon.com) - Its quite eye opening, and a great shopping companion. I also have their book that helps you guide through eating out, but I can't remember the name.

So, that's my update - I'm headed out to walk to the farmers market! Yay for local farmers!

Another death in the family

2009-07-12T20:32:00.002-04:00

My dad's sister passed away today (she lived in Ontario)...almost to the same exact minute as dad almost one year ago (July 21). She also died of pancreatic cancer (which now has the family concerned over our genetic predisposition to it).

The family just found out not even a week ago that she had this disease, and on Friday she was feeling good....2 days later, she is gone :( Like my dad however, she said she was "ready."

God bless you Aunt Shirley, you will be missed :(

Insert JAWS theme....

2009-07-01T09:48:00.002-04:00

Wednesday vacation update:

Sis, Booger and I are still sick :( I had my doctor in OH call in an antibiotic down here yesterday because I wasnt getting any better :( Icant tell you how bummed I am :(

Yesterday, we didnt go to the beach during the day - it was just too hot. We saw a helicopter fly over - really low, and I jokingly said "shark patrol." Well, we found out at the pool later that is exactly what it was! Sharks had been sighted, and they cleared everyone out of the water for 2 hours. A Google search said there are over56 species of sharks in the Carolina waters, and several of them mate in May-June. I guess I wont be going out in the water up to my shoulders anymore - AAAH!

We've had some awesome food thus far, a place called Mellow Mushroom and another called LWoods. Both are a must eat if you're ever on the island (Hilton Head SC).

I think mom and I are going shopping today, we both have the shopping bug and sis doesnt want to go. Coligny here we come!!!

WEll, time to take a shower and clear out my sinuses!!!

:( I killed my cat :(

2009-06-27T21:10:00.002-04:00

My kitty sweets was a Sr citizen in kitty world. In recent years, she's had trouble grooming herself, so I would have to get her shaved. Well 2 weeks ago, I took her in and they did blood work and found out she had an overactive thyroid. Longstory short, they couldnt do all of her grooming because they couldnt sedate her because of the thyroid issue. When I got her back she looked awful! But, she was my baby...and I started giving her medicine 2x a say - she took it like a pro. I was so proud of her.

In the summer I usually keep my car outside instead of in the garage, unless there is bad weather coming. Thurs night there were severe storms coming my way, so I ran out in the rain, and hurried up and put the car in the garage. Went to work Fri., came home....and found her dead in the garage. I RAN OVER HER either the night B4 or in the morning. It was awful. I was traumatized and burst into a hysterical fit of tears. She counted on me and I killed her. It was gruesome too, blood...other things. I was home early from work to get ready for vacation and instead had to bury my kitty :( I picked her up with a towel and buried her under the mulberry tree - I told her I was sorry, and put flowers on her grave. :( Igave Gus and Bunny extra big hugs and kisses before I left for vacation.

So now I am in South Carolina, we just took Bean to the ocean for the 1st time. He loved the sand. Its past his beddy byes though and he wont go to sleep!

Tomorrow will be our 1st full day of fun in the sun - it is hotter than hades here!

On one more note, I am basically w/o a PC - because of storms over a week ago - I have email, b ut no internet - I am on sis laptop this week.

HappySunday everyone!

LAST CHANCE VACATION PANTIES!

2009-06-18T19:52:00.002-04:00

Hey all!

I leave for vacation in a week, it would be sad if I didnt have any special vacation panties to prepare for you while I am there :)

Last night, I listed TWO auctions on Ebanned.net - one is a dutch panty auction - where you get to pick what I wear for you in South Carolina. The other is a SPOIL auction, in which I will spoil you with panties and souvenirs from my trip (I'm dying to sell this one!) Both have FREE SHIPPING.

Hurry, auctions end on Sunday so payment can be received and items selected prior to my departure. Now scoot!

The world would be a better place...

2009-06-13T20:56:00.003-04:00

If someone would shoot BILLY MAYES the orange clean dude...please, save the rest of the planet from his over the top ANNOYINGNESS! AAAAAAh!!!!

I'm tired of diving for the remote to change the channel every time one of his crappy commercials starts. One day I'm gonna break a leg or do a face plant in my frenzy to change the channel :)

Whatever chic....Ebanned gripe

2009-05-24T09:27:00.002-04:00

So....I've been really bothered by a seller, and since I can't bitch about it in the forums, I'm using my blog as the forum!

Some steriod-ridden egotistical hussy is putting blurbs at the bottom of her auctions referring to other sellers as "WHALES" and "TRAILER TRASH". And in addition, complaining that people are stealing her ideas.

Here's some news honey....you havent been around very long on this site, and a lot of ideas that you think are your OWN, WERE DONE EONS BEFORE YOU CAME AROUND. They're NOT YOURS, so stop complaining. For instance, bread insoles were done by a cute little Asian gal years and years ago. And people have been pissing in everything imaginable for years too, so it's not your idea (and by the way, selling items with piss in them are actually against the Ebanned Terms of Service, and you're lucky that someone hasn't turned you into the Admins for selling such items - in which case, those auctions would be yanked). Repeat offenders can actually lose their accounts by selling such items.

The beauty of Ebanned is that there are all types of chics on the site - some soft, some chubby...some muscular...but trashing your peers IS NOT COOL. You dont have to like what you see around you, but verbalizing it is bullshit and makes you look like a snooty bitch.

Maybe "soft" chics offend you, but flip the coin..I dont care to see chics with gigantic fake tits on a man-body (and I'm not alone) - its obvious there's some sort of physical enhancement outsided of the hours at the gym - the bone structure on your face is a dead giveaway (believe it or not I was in the bodybuilding circle for about 5 years at one time). So before you keep casting stones, realize that its a 2 way street.....

Hello,

Things are quite slow on the old website these days, so I guess its time for another special.!

From now until June 1, you can BUY 1 ITEM GET THE 2ND AT 25% OFF. The less expensive item will be 25% off ( just like the retail stores do it, LOL).

Price will not calculate correctly upon ordering, I will adjust your total.

I also have multiple auction listings at Ebanned.net (glittergirljo ID), so check them out. Most all of them are buy it now!

Happy almost weekend!

Starting to get a little pissed...

2009-04-25T19:06:00.004-04:00

I owe the dermatologist $200 for skin cancer stuff because my new insurance SUCKS (of course you dont realize that until its too late).

I also think I'm gonna get stood up for what would have been my 2nd date with someone....thank god I didnt put out the 1st time. Why are men such assholes. I even shaved "the monster" today...just in case, LOL.

I think I'm gonna take a nice hot shower (I worked my ass off in the yard all day - weeding what will be the garden and putting a weed border around it, and I just took a bike ride).....chill in front of the TV and have myself an ice cold adult beverage of some sort!!!! My Netflix arrived yesterday, "Twilight" so I may have to pop that in the DVD...

Just a laid back Sat. night...

2009-04-11T21:34:00.002-04:00

Hiya!

I was just sittin' here, editing photos..and thought I'd do an entry.

I'm sipping on a Crown and Coke (thanks Jimmy for the booze!), and actually doing auctions - like 4 of them! I havent done that many in a while. Probably won't list too many any more, I've been so busy with my new job, and its getting warmer outside, and when my raise kicks in I won't need the cash as badly (unless I buy a car). I hope to use my auction $ to pay down my credit card debt (ugh).

I think I am officially the QUEEN bargain shopper! I totally made out at Victorias Secret. I've had a $50 gift card since xmas (thank you Chris), and I've been waiting for that perfect item - enter swimsuit season. So, I picked out a suit..used my gift card..had an email offer for another $20...looked up coupon codes at retailmenot.com and got shipping for $6 (its usually about $11), and a free VS swim tote ($25 value)...are you ready for my out of pocket total??? $6.51. I shit you not! Yeah, I rule.

I had a date a few weeks ago, it went well..the guy is a real doll. I wasnt sure if he wanted to see me again or not, I couldnt tell AT ALL. Well, he DOES, as of a message I got from him today. That makes me happy. I think he's a gem. We'll see :)-

I need to make another appt at the vet for Gus...hopefully this will be his last bloodwork / urinalysis, and he will be in the clear from his previous problems. I sure hope so..he seems like nothing ever happened to him...I do have pet insurance, but I don't think they'll pay for this visit because it relates to his past problem. I'll probably submit it anyway, all they can do is deny it, right?

Well, back to editing pictures!

Happy Easter everyone!

A WHIRLWIND week

2009-04-05T10:01:00.002-04:00

Dang..this week was nutso...and so it continues through the weekend. I feel like I haven't had a break, and that totally stinks like doo doo.

I was in class all week training for my new gig at work, and quite frankly, learning something totally new is really exhausting - especially when you're no spring chicken anymore LOL. By Thursday my brain was mush!!!

Friday I took mom to surgery. We were both thrown aback when the surgeon and anesthesiologist informed us that she would be put completely under. The pre-surgery place did not say that!!! And it just went downhill from there...mom was so rattled she cried - said she was thinking about dad and all the times he had to have surgery :( Mom has never even had a tooth filled, so she was frightened..a lot. All I could do was tell her it would be OK. The stress was complicated by the fact that the center was running late..way late.

We didnt get out of there until 230, a full 4 hours after surgery was scheduled. GRRRR.

The meds made mom sick, so the poor thing was puking every few minutes while I was trying to get her scrip filled and then home so she could drift off.

Yesterday we took the bandage off...ICK. I almost passed out, and she got woozy too. I said "mom I'm totally not the one that should be doing this" LOL...We were shocked to see 3 incisions! (another error by the surgery center) But, she's not swollen and they look like they "should". The pain meds arent really working for her, so we'll have to address that on Monday.

Today is Booger man's 1st bday party!!! I CANT BELIEVE MY nephew is a year old already...and sis just told me last week that she's KNOCKED UP AGAIN! Neither one planned, goodness gracious. I just love that little stinker to death. Attached are a few pictures. I have so many awesome ones, but mom cant upload them to her PC (ugh), so she always gets actual prints :(

Has it been 3 weeks!

2009-03-29T12:44:00.002-04:00

Wow, I'm a slacker with my blog lately. And auctions. I've listed a couple of auctions this weekend, so I guess its time to take care of the blog.

So much going on in "Glitter-land".

I start my new job Monday - I still haven't heard about that internship, boo hiss. Was really hoping to hear before I relocated my desk, started learning something new, blah blah etc. Oh well.

This week I had rainbarrels installed! Its my next step in integrating "greener" things into my life. I'm now harvesting rainwater to use for my indoor and outdoor plants, and it also reduces the strain on the stormsewers. Free water also = a lower water bill! I'm all about more $ in my pocket.

I had a kinda sorta date last night. Met him a few weeks ago when I was out with my sister. I'm glad I went - he is very sweet, cute..dresses nice...there's potential there. Hopefully he liked me too:) On the downside, I'm rather hungover today. Ick.

Gus the Cat is still holding his own, seems to be completely normal again - we have another blood test in a few weeks, the results of that will determine if he is truly "free and clear"...I have my fingers crossed on that one of course.

I'm out of things to say - funny, because I thought I had so much to tell you...ha!

Hope everyone has a great week ahead!

OUT OF THE BLUE, IT HAPPENS!

2009-03-08T10:33:00.000-04:00

..WHAT HAPPENS?OMG... A PROMOTION!!!

A serious PROMOTION (as opposed to what, LOL)

A month ago, life was turned upside down. Everything was being thrown at me, from Gus' problems, to double workload at work, to my own skin cancer issues...I kinda felt like I was barely hanging on - struggling to keep it together.

Well Gus has been doing well for a few weeks now (his follow up was yesterday), and little things have been happening here and there to make me think my luck might be changing (stupid shit like getting my Turbotax for free, a 15% off coupon at Kohls just for talking to an associate for a few minutes, LOL).

I interviewed this past Monday for a gigantic job (an internship) - I cant explain too in depth cause I dont want peeps to know where I work...anyhoo..I think that went OK (I'm a terrible interviewer). I was told I'd have to wait 2-3 weeks on that one..

So, imagine my surprise, when in my email at work is a job offer FOR A DIFFERENT POSITION!!! I applied for this one in early January..I knew I was being considered, but that was it...never really gave it much thought because I was holding out for the internship. Management just picked me for this other gig!!! NO interview! HOLY SHIT!!! I am so stoked!!!

The job sounds really interesting!!!! (and I'm being shot up to the penthouse at work, LOL).Here is my favorite part..THE SWEET MOOLAH! In a year (its a complicated pay system), I'll be making more $ than I ever have in my life - Finally, financial freedom - no more worrying about the bills!!!

The possible bad part could be that I probably won't auction much if at all at that time - I've been going at this for 8 years, and maybe its time to "hang up my panties"

On an upnote, if I do get the internship, I will so take that - how weird would it be to get 2 offers in a week's time! I can't wait to tell my family. I was bursting at the seams yesterday - just dying to yap - but, this news should be delivered in person - so that's the plan for today (in addition to getting Beaner's 1st pair of shoes, sniff).

Just an update...

2009-03-01T10:30:00.002-05:00

Hey all, time for a bit of an update on my lazy Sunday morning (well, only lazy until that Peet's coffee is done brewing!)

First, a Gus update - he is going GREAT! He is 100%%%%!!!!! I am so happy, I almost lost the chubby furball so this is pure bliss for both of us. He does have to go back to the vet for some follow up testing in a week or so, to confirm that he is indeed 100%, but I'm confident it will all work out just fine.

I've been putting off doing my taxes...I was deathly afraid of the result, because of the $600 stimulus I received earlier in the year. Heck, last year my refund wasnt much at all, so I subtracted $600 from that, and yeah...was just plain scared - thought I might even OWE. So I dug in last night (go Turbotax)..and OMG!!! What a shocker!!! I am getting DOUBLE what I did last year!!! Even with my Ebanned income included! Now I'll have a cushion if Gus gets sick again, and can take a vacation with my family this summer. Yay!

Speaking of vacations, I desperately need one. SO much has been happening in the past year...dad being ill and then passing away, trying to support mom through all of it, my nephew being born, more skin cancer procedures, Gus' illness, stress at work- I've just been going and going and going and need a complete getaway more than I ever have before. Mom, Sis and I talked about a short getaway over spring break (maybe Vegas), and then Hilton Head in the summer - I can almost feel the sand under my feet.

I have to go shopping today (seriously!)....I got something really BIG going on tomorrow at work, and I dont have the clothes to dress the part. So I'm off to Kohl's to see what they've got (dang I love that store) - I have high hopes for this "possibility" - gosh I hope it works out, I need a newer car by summer! ( I know there is a new body style Mustang (in white of course, maybe with black racing stripes) out there that needs me!

Well, onto the coffee and listing more auctions!

Gus back in kitty hospital.

2009-02-15T10:00:00.001-05:00

Hello, my baby is back in kitty hospital.

I've resorted to posting his kitty updates to his chipin page only, so I dont have to type the same thing in 10 different places.

He still needs your help and wishes!

Kitty prayers, kisses and donations...GUS THE CAT

2009-02-07T10:11:00.003-05:00

Hello, and welcome to a post dedicted to my kitty Gus.

Gus isn't feeling so well these days.

Here is his story (aka GUSSY GUS).

At my previous job, we would make deliveries by van. One day the van left, and the driver called us and said "I think there's a fuckin' cat in here..I keep hearing a noise!" We told him to come back right away. So he does, and there are 3 of us laying on the ground looking under the van - then looking in the van, in the engine, calling for a cat...we finally heard him...he had somehow ended up in a cubby above the wheel well...next to the engine. He was TINY...and filthy...it took some work to jimmy him out of there..he was covered in dirt and oil...my coworkers vet was up the street, so we took him up there for an exam - he was fine. Then it was "ok, now what do we do with him?" I said "I'm taking him. He's obviously special! He's a survivor - you cant have him!!"....and that was that, over 5 years ago.

About 2 years ago, he had his first kitty UTI. For about 3-4 weeks he was on antibiotics and a muscle relaxer (so he could "go"). It cured the problem. Until now.

About 3 weeks ago, he started having the signs of another UTI (they try and pee where they are NOT supposed to, frequently, restless, etc.). I took him to the vet, and he was put on antiobiotics for 2 weeks. After a few days, he was his normal self again. And after the drug regimen, he was great for a week..then..he started acting funky again..and within 1 days time, he was a wreck. He made sounds that I've never heard come from a cat. I knew it was serious..that he could die.

I left work right away and took him to the vet. The confirmed his UT was blocked - that he could die - he needed to be admitted right away and given IV drugs, oral drugs, painkillers, special food, etc. My god I was a train wreck that day. THIS IS MY KID! I loved him from the 2nd he was pulled out of that van engine!! He is a total lap cat - always on top of me, whether I am watching TV or sleeping.

I've visited him every day since Wed. Last night I talked with the vet..she was in the cage with him giving him a belly rub. He is not ready to come home yet, he can't control his bladder and is still on some heavy meds. It's Ok, I want him to be 100% ready to leave. The bill is high, of course..thus the reason this page exists. The final tally will be a bit higher because he will be staying an extra 2 days.

This weekend I am researching pet insurance. Once this particular crisis is over, a continual fund of sorts for his care and food.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed. Such big hearts you have for a kitty that you never got to hug. Sniff.

Super hot sex dream----I'm still WET

2009-01-17T11:16:00.002-05:00

Wow...I dont know what creeped into my subconcious last night, but I sure hope it comes back to give me more.

I had the hottest dream last night...I can still picture it so vividly...I am so damned horny I just wanna nice big dick in my pussy right now..I'm sure I will be masturbating multiple times today. Best check my battery supply, LOL.

So..the dream..I've had a crush on someone at work for over 2 years now. Can't have him, he's married...which makes it soooo frustrating!!!! He is so sweet..has an incredible smile...a super hot body...god...I just want 2 hours with him! Sigh, I digress.

In the dream, there was a party at his house...bunch of people were sitting around drinking and watching movies - socializing..I was next to him on the couch..next thing I know, we were kissing...hot, intense kissing....while I was kissing him, he reached down and undid his pants....He pulled out his cock and I went down on it - it swelled in my mouth as I licked and stroked and sucked..it was thick and long...I took all of it (yes, the room was full of people while this was happening), and he came in my mouth - it tasted like candy....There was a pool out back, so we went out for a swim with everyone..then soon disappeared into his bedroom where I proceeded to suck him off again - another hot warm explosion for my aching body....

Whew. I need a cold shower.

Don't think I'll be able to look him straight in the face for a while *blush*

UNTIL YOU'VE WALKED IN MY SHOES, Jackass

2008-12-28T10:07:00.005-05:00

To the jackass or bitch ass cunt that felt it so necessary to attempt to leave such fucked up remarks on my blog (which of course I did not publish) If I (and my life) bother you so damned much the solution is simple..QUIT READING MY BLOG!

It is quite easy for you to move on to a blog that suits your fancy.

BTW, Did your father pass away this year, or some other family member or friend that was dearly close to you.? Do you have cancer and worry that the "next time" will be the one that gets you? Did your best friend with a family of 6 lose everything in a fire?

I am NOT chipper because this is the 1st christmas without my dad. I watch my mom try and cope every day. YOU don't get her emails about the memories, and how she feels, and what she misses...YOU didnt know that instead of the angel that's been on the top of the tree since before I was born, she replaced it with dad's "BAH HUMBUG" santa hat - reason? "It will be like he's looking over us". YOU don't know that every christmas, dad would give her a naughty christmas card, unsigned..and this year, he got the same thing..hand delivered by my sister - it was his dying wish that my sister do this for him -and that we all cried for 30 minutes after she opened it.

YOU don't know what its like to be injected with several needles, have a biopsy taken, and have to wait 2 weeks to find out if you go back for more extensive procedures..then after all the unpleasantries are said and done, you hurt for days, have sutures that dont dissolve on their own...etc..and have to wait again, for more lab work confirming that "they got it all". Try doing that no less than 5x in a year and knowing that is what the rest of your life will entail.

Maybe you should walk in my shoes before you judge.

I'm certainly not losing any sleep, its obvious who's truly pathetic.

Global Warming and 500 degrees, WTF!

2008-12-27T20:09:00.002-05:00

WTF! .... the best way to start this post.

Why? Umm..today it was almost 70 degrees. Yes, it is 12/27. It is Ohio. This is not normal. I went for a bikeride, in a t-shirt and shorts, and was not chilled in the slightest, even with a strong breeze blowing. Thus the WTF!

500 degrees..that is the temperature of a CHI curling iron, according to my stylist. Earlier in the week when I was 1/2 asleep straightening my bangs before work, I accidentally decided to put the iron on my forehead...MUTHER TRUCKER! YOWZA! You should see the mark! Definitely 2nd degree burn..complete with a former blister, now scab - an inch long, right at my hairline..when I got my hair done yesterday I had to warn her to be careful! Even she flinched when she saw it. At least its UNDER my hair, and I didnt decide to clip my ear into the iron like she did once, LOL. WAAAH! Burns suck!!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...etc. :)

2008-12-25T09:25:00.003-05:00

I'm sitting here at mom's having some Dunkin Donuts coffee. Just mom, myself and Beaner are awake (parents still snoozing due to a late night crying fit, LOL). Thought I would pop in here and wish everyone an awesome day, full of wishes fulfilled, time spent with family (hopefully not crazy family, like some of mine), naps, and 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" on TNT (or TBS network).

************

To celebrate the holiday season, any order placed through my website will receive FREE SHIPPING, WORLDWIDE - NO RESTRICTIONS through January 2.

So after you're done with all of the holiday hub-bub, come back and get yourself something!

Much love to all of my friends XOXO

BAH HUMBUG...

2008-12-21T08:45:00.003-05:00

Yes, I am a scrooge! Sorry to those of you that love all this holiday bullshit, LOL.

I had (2) more skin biopsies this week - one of them, ON MY ASS! How embarrassing is that..let that be a word of warning to NOT TAN NAKED. Hell, DON'T TAN PERIOD! I won't lecture you, you know the tanning bed can be a death sentence.

I am heading out soon to finish my xmas shopping. How did this happen? I was SO on top of things, and before I knew it, it was ..umm..today...5 days before the big day, and I dont have the rest of my gifts for my gf's at work. At least I pretty much know what I need, just have to go and get it, along with all of the other crazies that found themselves in the same boat as me.

My depression is in overdrive right now..I slept 12 hours last night, 12 the night before....and I'm still tired. I'm sad because dad is gone, and because mom is really sad...I honestly would like to fast forward to Jan. 2, or at least New Years...I'll at least be drunk (and I'm a happy drunk, LOL). I'm sad cause I feel fat...how did I my weight get so out of control? God. If it were only as easy to lose as it is to gain. Speaking of weight, man I'm starving, ha!

Yesterday I spent the day with mom, and sis and baby...making cookies. That little stinker nephew of mine just makes me so happy. He is now taking a few steps at a time without holding onto anything..he's only 8 months old! He also started doing this thing..putting one of his hands up in the air..like he's waiting for a "high 5" - so we just give him a high 5 whenever he does it, LOL.

A HUGE THANK YOU to "C", I can't believe your package arrived already..I am so excited!!!! I was happy with the wine, and so not expecting the VS Gift Card! I really needed a nice surprise :) My sister is excited to share the wine with me. I may be hitting you up for more - you may turn me into a WINO! (instead of a Capt Morgan's-O), LOL.

Well, that's all for now..must have coffee..and shop!

WINTER HATH ARRIVED...and so has the gas bill...UGH

2008-12-07T08:07:00.002-05:00

Holy crap. (2) weekends ago it was in the 50's, warm enough for me to climb a ladder and hang christmas lights.

Then one of those damned ALBERTA CLIPPERS came through and OMG..it's been freezing! It snowed measurably for the 1st time this season yesterday...several inches. I think it was about 19 degrees with the wind blowing rather strongly. Of course, this was the day I had an appt to get my oil changed and a few other things looked at on the car. I asked them how long it would be before the car was ready, they said almost 2 hours. No way am I sitting there that long..so I WALKED HOME, over a MILE..in the crappy weather. I was sooooo cold when I got home..then I thought, well shit - I have to go back! I decided to use our tiny little public transit system - it was so worth the $5 to get back...aah!

I got my gas bill the other day, and nearly choked. I've really made efforts to "reduce, reuse, recycle" - I'm trying to be a "green girl" and make a positive impact on the earth. I've managed to see a HUGE decrease in my electric bill, which makes me giddy..but the gas bill? I feel sick. My house is old, my furnace needs replaced. I will never have enough $ for a furnace, so I have to find other ways to try and control the air flow in and out of this house. I did get 6 new windows over the summer, I am sure that is helping..but obviously it is not enough. So I drove to Menards in the snow yesterday..and bought window plastic, and weather stripping, and foam outlet covers. Yes, foam outlet covers. They had a blurb on the news the other night about how much air comes in through your electric outlets on non-interior walls, and I was shocked. So last night I started with the plastic and outlet covers, that's today's project, to finish that, and change the furnace filter.

As for the electric bill - what have I done? All of my lightbulbs are compact fluorescents, inside AND out. They really do last forever too! Its crazy. I only have the lights on that are necessary as well (except the xmas lights). And this, I think this is the big one...I am aware of VAMPIRE ELECTRICITY. Vampire electricity is the electricity that is used by leaving appliances, lights, etc plugged in when they are not in use. I saw on TV somewhere that appliances, etc use MORE electricity when they are NOT in use! That seems fishy, but it was definitely an eye opener, regardless. Now you can't unplug your refrigerator, LOL..but you can unplug the microwave, coffee maker, vac sealer (he he), when you are not using them. You CAN unplug the TV in the spare room and everything attached to it when its not being used. I have watched my electric bill go from $130 to $100 to $70 to $40....there's the evidence.

************

OMG, where have my bidders gone? I haven't sold ANYTHING in the past week. Double UGH! I'm still here, still masturbating, still horny, LOL :)

Mom is sad....

2008-12-01T19:47:00.002-05:00

I knew the holidays would be hard with dad gone..especially for mom.

She sent me this email last night:

This afternoon was a weepy afternoon for me, getting out my snowmen and decorating. I ran across the Bah Humbug Santa hat....then I started thinking that my house is full of decorations, but I have a hole in my heart, an empty spot that no amount of decorations and Christmas spirit can fill...I can't listen to any Christmas music (and you know how much I always loved that) and I don't know how I will make it through New Year's Eve....I remember saying on the last one that this year would have to be better than last year, and it started out with my wreck on the 6th of Jan, and 6 mos. later, he's gone. I thought about calling you, but didn't want to be a downer, and now I am being one anyway. I don't know what I'd do without you kids and the Baby the sunshine in my life! I love you guys!

This sucks.

I want to fast forward to mid-January so mom doesnt hurt as much.

:(

I WANT HIM TO HURT

2008-11-26T19:53:00.002-05:00

I want him to hurt. Just 1/10th of the hurt he's caused me.

I want him to feel loss. I want him to feel guilt, and shame.

I want him to miss me. I want him to show up on my doorstep so I can drop kick him.

Why do I hurt? How did I let this happen? So much was wrong, always.
1. He didnt like to eat pussy.
2. He didnt believe in foreplay.
3. "No" never meant no to him.
4. He never showed affection towards me, like holding hands, or cuddling.
5. The few times he ever did plan something in advance with me, he would either cancel or just not show up.
6. He is an alcoholic.
7. He is selfish.
8. I think he is still unemployed.
9. He always tried to get me to buy his booze and cigarettes (and I finally started refusing).
10. He hardly ever bought me drinks.
11. He never, ever took me out to dinner
12. He never met my family, and I never met his (not MY choice)
13. He lied - habitually
14. He stole from me (but never admitted it- I know it was him)
15. He never made me feel special in any way. I was just "convenient"
16. He never bought me flowers.
17. He disrespected me when I did have the nerve to go on a date with someone else, and said horrible things to me.
18. In 2 years we never just "hung out" and ate a pizza or watched a movie together.
19. He was never "there" when I needed someone to lean on.

I'm sure I'll be adding to the list.

my heart is fucking broken

2008-11-23T01:04:00.005-05:00

I knew it. mY heart is broken. someone decided that they have a girlfriend..thanks for fucking telling me jackass...guess that explains why you havent called me in 3 weeks...fucking asswipe..that's all right, I hope you get your heart ripped out AGAIN...and a doseof what you've given me for hte past 2 fucking years. asshole. i hate you. i hope you rot in hell. i'm too good for you anyway..way too good. i hope you get shit on like you did a long time ago. you deserve it. you have no idea how to treat a lady. and until you st art eating pussy, no one is going ot keep your lame ass around.

Would love to see the look on his face next time he tries to use it! Just wish I could change how my heart feels as easily as it is to change a number :(

AC DC Flipping rules

2008-11-22T16:31:00.003-05:00

Hi all,

YES, I went to the SOLD OUT AC DC Concert last night. I was actually excited - I'm not much of a live concert girl, because it always seems to be a disappointment in the end for whatever reason. I'm trying to think of the actual concerts I've gone to, and its not many! I've seen Def Leppard 3X, Poison 2X, Cinderalla once (they were GREAT), RATT, Motley Crue and Journey (can you tell I'm a product of the 80's?)

AC DC....is simply...in a class all their own. I heard they put on a good show..and by golly, everyone that said that is beyond correct. BEYOND! AND THEN SOME! It's hard to put into words the most amazing live music experience I've ever been to - Lets face it, AC DC are legends. They have been putting out non-stop, 1st rate tunes for decades...(and their latest CD "Black Ice" is NO exception). I heard their show was really loud, so I took ear plugs for everyone just in case...NOT Needed. They could have been louder and I would not have complained because I love them that much and to hear them at such a volume was dreamy, and intense.

I wondered how they would put on a show, because all of their music is good...not like most other bands, that have some hits and some obsure tunes that you're forced to listen to and new stuff that's really not so stellar. AC DC = every song is a showcase of their incredible talents and ability to seriously "rock it out."

I had goosebumps when they started the show with a lead in to their new single, "RUN AWAY TRAIN", by showing a cartoon on the big screens. When the music actually started, my heart was pounding and the goosebumps were jumping off my skin! I could not wait. I did not want to be anywhere else in the world, doing anything else, at that one moment in time. The next few hours did not change that feeling one single bit.

I did not want the music to end. I could have stayed for hours more and let them crank it out for their fans. I was in awe, and can't wait to see them again!

Now I just need a membership to their fan club at $40....those peeps get the pick of the best seats in the house! (gee, wish I would have known that 2 months ago!)...sigh

NEW WEBSITE PREVIEW! CHECK IT!

2008-11-18T21:27:00.003-05:00

Hi everyone, I finally got my index page for coderedhead.net finished! I uploaded it so you can sneak a peek at how the rest of the site will look, once completed (dream completion date: Thanksgiving weekend), and maybe it will help you ease into the transition (cause trust me, it looks nothing like any site design I've ever had).

I wanted something "cleaner", easier to navigate, with NO tables...I never could figure those damned things out - believe it or not, my html knowledge is pretty scarce :( Also wanted to integrate at least one of my favorite colors = PURPLE.. YAY! I'm totally digging it, and I hope you will too.

PS - I know the LINK button isn't working..I cant figure that one out..LOL..but it's the least important, so its been bumped down on the priority list. Ha!

Feel free to drop me a line and tell me what you think!

Alright..anyone that creates a computer virus, trojan etc needs to be at the bottom of the ocean, with the damned lawyers (well most of them - cause I know one really cool lawyer). Seriously, what kind of person gets off on fucking with other people like this. Stupid ass mother fuckers need to get a real job and a real life - or are you so lame that such a thing isnt possible, so this is how you spend your free time?

Yeah, can you tell I've had some PC problems? Virtumonde is a NASTY, NASTY bug. You cannot get rid of it. I dont care what help you think is out there, NOTHING worked. Even a special scan to find ONLY that virus turned up nothing, yet the damned thing was working some serious magic on me. Yes, I have virus protection..and spyware protection..they all caught it, but could not stop it from replicating (apparently its something that, if you dont delete all of it, it replaces what you did manage to erase)...@#$@#$!!!!! WTF, seriously.

By Sat. night, I couldnt even keep my PC on to try anything else. Bitch kept shutting down. Fuck it. And try finding a PC repair company open on Sundays...christ, this is 2008. Not everyone goes to church...I looked in my 2005 phonebook (who uses a real phonebook anymore - not me, but obviously I should get an udpated one). Find a place open on Sunday. Unhook everything, drive out there...empty storefront..WTF! The phone number worked earlier, and gave me the hours of busineess. I called again. Local number. I'm routed to some place over 100 miles away (oh yeah, we closed that location)...well THANKS JACKASSES! Maybe you should have put that on your recording !!!! OMG..I was beside myself. Go back home, decide to take the leap into a system restore. I've never done one. I have no option. I have orders to fill, auctions to put up so I have cash for christmas gifts...so into the unknown I go.

Of course, I have so many darned things going on with different passwords I had a great time trying to figure it all out. Couldn't remember how to configure my Outlook (I have 3 email addresses coming into one box)....I just wanted to pull my hair out!

To make it worse, a week ago I started having pain in my neck and shoulder again..thought I slept wrong..dont know what's going on now, cause it still hurts. Been taking aspirin like candy, using the heating pad, muscle relaxers...even had one of my BFF's give me a massage (which actually HURT) :( I Dont know, maybe I've pinched something - whatever it is, I just want it to go away. And I'm sniffling again..I just had a bug a few weeks ago. Everyone at work is sneezing and hacking so one of those degenerates probably gave it to me. Its like working in a damned airplane 40 hours a week!

Anyhoo...PC is back on line..not sure if I've cured the problem. I've decided to use open-source software whenever possible, including OPENOFFICE3 (awesome alternative to the MS Office suite), and Filezilla (an FTP program). Will probably download GIMP, which I read is a lot like Photoshop.

ON top of the PC problems, the past 2 weeks have been emotionally trying. Dad died on July 20th. Last weekend was a mass for him at church...yesterday was a Hospice service for everyone that passed within the year. Talk about having an unhealed would ripped back open. I can't even hear my dad's name without crying..and when they put a picture of him up on the screen, I gushed. My mom, sis and I were a fountain of salty tears. When will the pain ease? I'm scared because the Holidays are coming - I dont know how we will get through them :(

Well, guess that's it for now...I'm off tomorrow (go Veterans, and THANK YOU!), maybe I'll finally get to start cleaning out my denim tha'ts been accumulating in the top of my closet for 7 years...I have no idea what's hiding up there..EEK! (but I bet most of it I can't fit my fat ass into anymore, LOL).

Almost a 3-way, and I don't mean SKYLINE CHILI

2008-11-03T20:12:00.002-05:00

* BLINK* *BLINK*

Yes, I had quite the Sat. night..from the chic that wanted to kiss me, to THE PLUMBER's friend wanting a 3-way. Who knew the time change could bring about such scandal!

I woke up yesterday thinking "wow, did that shit really happen". And I woke up today and thought the same damned thing. It was like out of nowhere I became some hot goddess that everyone wanted a piece of...Alrighty then! Here we go with the scoop, hold on for the ride!

Yes, Alas...I have seen the PLUMBER the past 2 weekends. We havent had sex or anything, but we have hungout. Anyhoo - this past Saturday, I was once again called upon to join him and his buddy at the bonfire. So out I went. Yes, it was just the 3 of us (started out with 4, one got extremely drunk and stupid and was banished to the barn or wherever his stupid ass passed out). We decided to hit the hilljack bar up the road, just like last weekend. Fine and dandy. Place was kinda busy, and there was this blonde chic there. I decided right away I didnt like her - that she was loud and attention starved and obnoxious. She was with a guy, but pretty much ignored him to talk to every other guy in the joint, including mine. She looked very "city" and didnt really fit in at the place. Whatever...next thing I know, she is 3 inches from my face..she says "YOU'RE REALLY PRETTY, CAN I KISS YOU?" !!!!!!!!!

Let me do that again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That has NEVER, EVER happened to me in my life! I was at a loss for words. While I stared at her like a deer in headlights, she says to the plumber "can I kiss your girlfriend". Of course he smarted back "she can do whatever she wants"...and she is right back at me "come on, gimme a kiss!" After asking like 2 more times, I told her no and off she went. Man that was so weird. She wasn't ugly, but like I said, I already didnt like her and I'd be darned if my 1st kiss with a chic was gonna be with someone that got on my damned nerves.

Of course, the drinks are flowing...we're all getting boozed up (but I'm pretty sober since I'm driving).

Back to the bonfire. After falling off a bench and being dumped into the woodpile, then tripping over the other bench and falling on my hip, things got really really weird. Plumbers friend (who mind you has only been with ONE girl and is engaged to her)...spouts off "HEY, WANNA PULL A TRAIN?" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My god, once again..when did I become some highly desirable sex goddess? Christ! I was once again, shocked. I spouted off "dude, no"...I'm standing by the fire, and before I knew it, the plumber AND his friend both hand their hands down the back of my pants! Holy @#$#@$ dudes! What is going on here!!! Before the hands got too close to the goods, I pulled away..but here's the twisted thing..I was digging the attention. I like the friend..he's cute. Although, I know what alcohol does to one and their judgement (or lack thereof). I sat down...plumber was on one side, friend on the other...next thing I know I'm pretty much squished in between them..things getting cozy again. Plumber gets up, pulls friend aside and says "man, it aint gonna happen...you wont be able to live with the guilt tomorrow"...PHEW! Thanks for stepping in there pal!! So I think things will be cool then.

Friend goes in the camper. Soon after, plumber goes inside and I follow. Friend is laying in bed..plumber goes in there too..I jokingly said "are you guys gonna make out now"..LOL..I sit on the end of the bed..friend sits up and puts his hands up my shirt, totally groping me. My god I was so turned on at the thought of what could happen at that moment. Ya know, I like my guys thin..and this guy is about 30+ lbs more than what I wanna do the deed with, even though he's cute and I'm attracted to him. This big giant part of me wanted to just throw myself right smack in the middle of the two of them and say "have at it boys"...yet once again, plumber says "dude I told you...we're not doing this"...Oh, I forgot to add..on the way in the trailer, plumber says to me "one rule I have is that nobody but me sees my lady naked" (Ok, I'm not your lady but thats a nice thought). I crawled on top of the plumber, gave him a kiss...friend starts to move closer again...time to get outta dodge. Seriously.

I decided to call it a night..it was like 5am. I was so flustered. MY PANTIES WERE FUCKING SOAKED, and my pussy was throbbing. It was all I could do to get out of my clothes and finger myself until I came...such sweet dreams I had at 630 in the morning!

So there ya go, a totally surreal night.....

#$%!#@$%!$%!#$%

2008-10-15T06:19:00.002-04:00

WTF. So I get up to go to work today..take a shower, put on makeup...get lunch ready, etc... still not feeling so grand..and I realize I am burning up! Sweating!! So I took my temperature, 100.6, higher than yesterday! $!#$!!#$~#!@#$ Like seriously. I can breathe better today, I've taken my antibiotics for 2 days (z-pac)..vitamin C..why am I still running a fever!! I am so tired of being stuck on the couch, in bed..I dont make a very good sick person at all. And I've been doing so well accumulating my sick leave, and now that's all blown to hell, and winter is coming (which undoubtedly means a day or two off here and there because of inclement weather). I just want to be well again! Sniffles.

Gosh darn it - I havent been SICK in a long time!

2008-10-13T16:29:00.003-04:00

Boo hiss!!!

I helped my sister paint her house yesterday, and felt fine when I got home..took a 3 hour nap - got up...and realized I was feeling a bit achy and my throat was sore. Took some Vitamin C, no biggie...

Well I wake up today, feeling dreadful! Throat sore, "stuff" running down my throat, I feel like my ears are plugged...dangit!

I was supposed to have 2 doctors appts today - one just to visit the family doctor for a scrip refill, the other with the dermatologist to have another skin cancer removed (yeah, lucky me - its back). Well I cancelled the dermatologist cause in no way was I up to being cut on again - but kept the family doctor..I'm glad I did. I was running a fever! Ended up leaving with 2 prescriptions (one antibiotic), in addition to the one I went there for. Weird timing, eh?

I cant remember the last time I've had to take antibiotics, guess I've been lucky as far as the regular "run of the mill" bugs that go around each year - I usually manage to avoid them. Not this time though, it completely snuck up on me!!

When I got home, I slept for another couple of hours...just put some chili on the stove..that will be a splendid dinner for sick little me! I still have tomatoes growing in the garden, so I used them - that should be uber tasty!

Well, I'm back to the couch to watch Divorce Court..yay for court tv shows!

PANTY HOG - USED PANTY PORTAL - HATE FOR EBANNED

2008-10-03T19:31:00.002-04:00

Panty Hog:

SUPPOSEDLY: "Welcome to Panty Hog - the world's used panty portal. Your gateway to the worn panty community. Featuring the latest used panty news, soiled panties stories, hot panty auctions, wet panty galleries, discussion, directory, video chat, and knicker announcements. We're building the world's most comprehensive used panty seller directory." Add "unless you're a member of Ebanned " and you may have a true statement!

What am I talking about you ask? Some time ago, I noticed that ALL posts I made IN THE FORUMS referencing Ebanned..were..magically DELETED by the moderators. Hmm..OK! So I asked what was going on..and what happened? NO response from the site owner ('tis sad, I really did like him) AND, AND I WAS BANNED, simply by asking for fair moderation of the forums and a true, unbiased promotion of the panty biz!

Personally, I am amused, since I left voluntarily and never looked back until now. Why would I want to be part of a site that is BIASED and a forum that is run by power hungry, big headed moderators? (or moderator, whatever the case may be).

I dont know what's happened there, but it really is sad. It used to be a helpful place for new sellers, current sellers..ANY panty seller that was true to her business and her customers...but not any more. Ebanned is the largest panty website, and panty auction website there is - and that's always the way it will be. By shunning the members and mistreating them, you are alienating a large, large part of a beautiful thing - panties - and you've even managed to run off some of your own long time non-Ebanned members because they simply have become disillusioned with how things have deteriorated.

My personal website used to joyfully and wholeheartedly recommend that potential new sellers join the PH forums, because of the great resource for information and help from experienced people. NO MORE. That recommendation, and all references to PH, will be removed from my site. Why would I send a new girl to the wolves, when I myself have been stabbed in the back!!! No way in hell. Links to PH, links to other girl's websites from PH, blog links, will all be removed.

I believe in KARMA, I believe that those who treat others poorly will get what's coming to them. "They" will shoot themselves in the foot, even if it doesn't happen overnight. So until then, keep running people off...continue being backstabbing, big headed cunts, and see how things work out for ya...it takes a lot less energy to be nice, than it does to be evil! (and guess what, NICE goes a much longer way!)

OSCAR - the NEW PLAYER in the VANPOOL series

2008-09-11T20:04:00.001-04:00

Ok, we have a new player in the vanpool line of stories.

OSCAR, as in OSCAR from Sesame Street.

Why OSCAR?

Because she looks like she crawled out of a trash can every day.

This poor lady always has icky greasy hair, and disheveled clothes. I didn't pay much attention honestly until today, but today she really looked like she rolled out of the trash can and onto the van.

She gets on the van, wearing this mid-80's patchwork style button down shirt (do ya'll remember those? Some of them had sheer sleeves back in the day). It was extremely wrinkled.

Here's the kicker though, she turns around to sit down...and there is a big ass rip right down the back..it was a good 5 inches long! Obviously she didn't iron it or she would have seen that massive tear in the middle of the back!!

Thankfully she had a shirt on underneath, or her bare back and/or bra would have been showing (major ewies - she's a big lady!).

I guess the upside is, as unkempt as she is, she doesn't smell! :)

NEAR MISS and CROP DUSTING - Funny but graphic!

2008-08-27T20:22:00.002-04:00

Being a girl sucks sometimes. Here's today's story from yours truly!

TODAY I ALMOST CRAPPED MY PANTS.

OMG...How awful. I dunno about you, but the 1st day of my period is kind of anightmare..in addition to cramps and farting, I get to take a nice big 'period dump' as I call it.

Of course...as I sit here at my desk..the farts increase in frequency...then I start getting sh*t cramps. I decide that I should go to another part of the building to take care of business. So I start to walk down the hall..and holy crap, the cramps get so bad I had to"pull over" because I could hardly stand up. While standing there, I "dusted" the area. I get to the bathrooms (there are 2 right there)...WHAT THE @#$@#$? They are BOTH CLOSED! That has NEVER happened! One is temporarily closed, the other one is being stocked by a dude! Horrified, I stood there for a moment, squeezing...I couldnt wait...I almost ran back to the bathroom in my area..I barely made it..so I let loose, while simultaneously flushing to disguise what was happening...PHEW. RELIEF!. The best part, as I was walking out, a gal passed me and went into the stall I had just came out of (she didn't see me walk out of it)..and I hear her say"oh my goodness" as she entered...HA!

How funny is that!

As the VANPOOL TURNS - the Alternate Driver

2008-08-20T20:40:00.001-04:00

Aaah....so today, we have an alternate driver. This guy has only ridden the vanpool 2x since it started. He's kinda suspect, I think he looks like a homeless dude. Anyhoo - as soon as he takes the driver's seat, I could tell that he probably had not driven a van this size before. Ugh. No snooze on the way to work today! This guy needs another set of eyes and ears!

He cranks the heat up. We get to the next stop and load up, and one of the gals asks him to turn it down/off. We thought he did, but apparently he didn't. We were all nearly crispy critters by the time we got to work it was so hot in there! We get out and this one lady says to me "I think I have burn marks on my legs"...HA! Oh, and he pulled a "mom" on xxx Rd., - meaning, he wasn't paying attention to what was in front of him! He was looking at something off to the side (insert mom-o-gram of "oh, look at the pretty flowers over there" LOL)...and an SUV was making a turn in front of us - I'm convinced he would have run into it if I hadnt yelped "yikes!". Good lord - and he's driving again tomorrow. BOO HISS.

As for creepy unibrow guy - ya know, the only gal that will talk to him is Mary, the nice girl that shares the back row with him..well, I told you he was rude - and I swear, nothing that ever comes out of his mouth is ever remotely interesting - its just clutter. Well he said something to her, and she must have rolled her eyes...He says "you roll your eyes at me a lot!" OMG dude..ya think? :) Totally funny.

ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY

2008-08-19T21:36:00.002-04:00

I cant believe it, tomorrow is the one month anniversary of dad's death. In some ways it seems like it happened years ago, and yet at times it seems like it was yesterday.

Mom, sis and I are going to meet for drinks after work to celebrate his memory (man dad loved his booze, especially beer!) .

So dad, we're throwin' a few back in your honor, we miss you like crazy and love you lots.

As the VANPOOL TURNS - a new series

2008-08-16T09:47:00.002-04:00

First, a little background!

I drive 60 miles round trip every day, in a V8 Mustang. I am putting about $60-$80 in gas EVERY WEEK in it - and more recently, because my dad was very ill, I had to add another 20 miles to my drive several days a week. Add that up and in a months time we're talking over $250 JUST IN GAS. Imagine what you could do with that amount of money!! I started looking on line for carpools in my area. You won't believe how many good sites there are for others who are not only trying to save money, but the environment too in the process.We have an org here in Ohio, MORPCC (Mid Ohio Regional Planning Commission). They are non-profit and it's there job to hook up people in the same geographic location for vanpools, carpools, etc. WELL...I work in a very large facility..and in about a month's time they found enough people to start a vanpool (12-15). HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME A MONTH TO RIDE IT? ARE YOU READY? $9 YES!! $9!!! My employer subsidizes the rest. $9 out of pocket to commute for each month. The fee covers the gas, maintenance on the van (supplied by MORPCC). How unreal is this!!!! WOOT!

Now for the amusing stuff..I knew from the meetings prior to the pool starting, this was going to be an interesting ride - and most likely, not in a good way. I was right. My guess is I am going to destroy my ipod in no time strictly from overuse. Ugh. At least they don't cost so much anymore! Let me also say, this ride isnt a "direct flight" - we have a stop in another city before we continue to our final destination. Boy I wish we could ditch that stop, because that's where CRAZY BOARDS!

****************
The ride from L to C is GREAT! Nice quiet people...punctual people. It's the load that we inherit in Cthat's a challenge. Ugh. Yesterday, this big black chic barely made it on time...we are on a strict schedule, and told that if someone isnt there at the designated time, too bad - we leave. I think she got there with 1 minute to spare yesterday. Well today..we're there - The hussy shows up at 6 37 am, 2 minutes past the departure time. The only reason we were still there was because someone was having trouble getting their seatbelt situated. I hope we leave her *ss next time - and if we don't leave on time, I'm gonna say something as it was made very clear in our meetings. Get your big butt there 2 minutes earlier (and trust me, it needs its own seat)!

Then the next lady..had the nerve to say today, when she hobbled into the van - that she thinks the "xxx PEOPLE should sit on the right side because the seatbelt on the left doesn't fit her because she's short and large chested" - Ummm..NO (she works in a different building)..I get on the van 1st in the morning and I'm gonna sit where I darned well please..and its not my fault your short, fat and obese and have huge t*tties. Get a booster seat. Then creepy unibrow guy(C.U.G. for short) gets on and says he doesn't have his computer card (how you log onto your computer to do any sort of work)...and she says "well what are you going to do all day? I'm the person that resets those and don't call me if your card isnt at work!" OMG...insert headphones and turn on ipod. Ugh. Tomorrow I get the joy of having Mr Type A "know it all about how vanpools function" get on - he hasn't been on all week (nice blessing). When he does I will find out how loud my ipod will truly go, since he also speaks at a million decibels...

**********************

OK - some background on CUG (creepy unibrow guy) because I dont know if I've blogged about him before, or only pissed and moaned about him to my friends in "real life." So...the scanners in our building dont work for shit. If they jam, you have to go somewhere else to use one. Lo and behold, one day I ran into CUG in the equipment room. I was first frightened by his appearance. Beady little eyes, that are crammed really close together...and a UNIBROW! OMG! A big, BLACK, PRONOUNCED UNIBROW!! I realize you can't help where God put your eyes, but DAMN! Do something about the forest on your forehead! It gets worse..he has no concept of personal space. He stood right on top of me!!! And then, stared at my boobs the entire time!!! OMG!!! THEN! Yes, THEN! He did the ole "REACH IN FRONT" to get something, so he could brush up against me!!! GET THE FUCK OFF ME WEIRDO! Then he did the same thing to my Asian friend soon after. I was so relieved when we moved desks, it put us away from him. Imagine my flipping surprise when she shows up at our 1st carpool meeting...How can this be! In a sea of THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES, he ends up ON MY VAN OF 15 PEOPLE!! WTF! Sometimes I think someone is out to get me! Not only is he a close stander, brusher, etc...he is RUDE! I'll save that for another episode. WHY ME! I told my sister ab out him and she's convinced he's a serial killer. She said if anything happens to me she's going looking for him :)

And that my friends concludes Episode 1.

VICES to ease grieving...

2008-07-26T14:32:00.003-04:00

OOOH..I have been a bad kitten in the past 24 hours...

The grieving process is a unique thing...everyone does it differently.

I woke up yesterday, wondering what I would do with my day. Mom wanted to stay at home alone and relax, so that left me with an entire day of time to fill (it was too hot outside to work on the house).

So..the initial decision was...RETAIL THERAPy. With a fresh paycheck which included a bonus, I was off...I started out thrifting, found some things for Potamus (the nephew)...then I hit the craft store. Got a collage photo frame, and a cute little scrapbook for Potamus' pictures.

Next? THE MALL. It sucks, when you have a few bucks..NOTHING FITS AND EVERYTHING IS ON SALE! Even SHOES! I realized I havent exercised for about 3 weeks 'cause of dad, but DAMN! Big boobs arent a plus either with today's fashions :( Meant for flat chested skinny chics! I didnt even really like what I got at VS - I had a $10 certificate I had to spend in July (like I would let that one go to waste).

So I shopped for 5 hours, and didn't spend hardly anything - yeah, that part is a plus.

Came home, napped...rode my bike (omg, that IS exercise! yay!). Watered the veggies and picked more tomatoes. Took a hot bubble bath (le sigh). Made myself a cocktail of Capt Morgans Silver and coke and sat down in front of the TV. Turned on "Terminator" and put together the collage photo frame..so cute!

AT that point, I was deciding if I wanted to do something I hadnt done in years...go out alone. So I got all whored up and did it. Bingo, my fave band is playing. I'm so glad I did..sat next to a nice gal from GA at the bar...and the Plumber came in (stop groaning). I just wanted to talk to him, he can be an alright guy every now and then.

Ultimately, he came over to my house...he let me cry on his chest (he's way taller than me)...and he made me feel better..he was actually real sweet, reminded me of why I absolutely adored him for so long...before I knew it, it was like 4 AM.

Off to bed..AND SOME OF THE HOTTEST SEX I've had in a long, long time...Good lord, the man listened to me for once when I told him what I wanted...hot hard kisses, pussy licking...sweat....gawd.

Even though I only got a few hours of sleep, yesterday/last night was so what I needed. I'm just now having my morning coffee..I think I'll weed the front flowerbed when I'm done and chill out and relax later...too tired to do much else! :)

Dad's obituary....bet you've never read one like this!

2008-07-22T09:53:00.002-04:00

D*** G***, 74, passed away at his home in *****, with his wife by his side, after a brief and dignified battle with cancer.

Although he was in pain, he was quick with a joke until the very end.

A native of Brantford, Ontario, D**** spent four decades in the muffler business. He began his career with a gas station in Newark, then owned the KarGuard muffler shop in Lancaster from 1962 to 1979, and the Muffler Man shop from 1983 to 1987. At various times he owned muffler shops in Chillicothe, Athens, and Logan. D*** and his family also served up tasty ice cream cones and chilidogs as owner of the Yummy Shoppe on Broad Street in the late 1970s.

In his later years, he became an avid computer geek, poker player and armchair philosopher.

He was a member of the Moose Lodge, where he enjoyed many Monday night euchre games, and a member of St. Mary of the Assumption church in Lancaster.

His family and friends will remember his adventurous spirit and inventive mind. His varied talents included amateur accordian player and maker of the world’s worst spaghetti sauce. He built and raced his own stock cars, and traveled with family and friends to more NASCAR races and middle-of-nowhere fishing spots than they can count. His sense of humor was legendary, and he was able to elicit laughs even in times of adversity.

D**** joined the US Army in 19** and served in Korea.

He is sorely missed by his wife of 39 years, V**** his daughters Molly *** and D**** , his son-in-law and poker buddy E*****; and his 3-month-old grandson R*****, who will unfortunately not remember first-hand how special his grandfather was.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Dennis’ name to FairHoPe Hospice.

Dad passed away today...

2008-07-20T15:37:00.003-04:00

Dad passed this morning at 8:13 pm. Neither my sister nor I made it in time to be by his side. It was peaceful, and I do not believe he suffered at all.

My sister wrote a kick ass obit, so I will post it here sometime in the next few days.

Thank you to everyone that has been supportive to me during his brief battle with cancer.

Please keep my family in your prayers.

Just an update..

2008-07-19T13:21:00.002-04:00

Hello faithful blog readers, time for an update on life.

Dad is very sick to put it mildly. The Hospice nurse told us yesterday it might only be days. The reality is finally setting in for sis and I - we're starting to cry randomly and sometimes at the drop of a hat. The people at Hospice are truly wonderful, and its a wonderful organization. They were there for grandma and grandpa, and now dad - their employees are angels, and their support and honesty with our family is appreciated and priceless and gentle at the same time. They don't "sugarcoat" the situation, yet they deliver information and news with tact and heart. Don't ever hesitate to use their services if there is a time when your family needs them.

Although I am functioning at work and seem to be staying on top of things, I am distracted. I cried off and on all day Monday, I hate having people see me upset. I guess I try so hard to put up a front and be the tough girl, when I am really crumbling inside. I had a doctor's appt too - one of my stitches from my melanoma was poking through and hurting (its right on my bra line) - the excision months ago required layers of stitches beneath the skin - apparently they are supposed to dissolve - but lucky me, has something about me where that doesnt always happen. This is the 2nd time I've had to go back and have one pulled out. Also had another biopsy - I sure hope that comes back OK because I do not need to be dealing with cancer AGAIN on top of everything else. Not now please!

***********

Because of all the freaking stress, I asked my sister to come down last night and go to the Art Walk with me. Basically, for 2 weeks every summer, our town gets a dose of culture and the fine arts. YAY for that! So what is the ARt Walk? They close off several blocks downtown, and various businesses feature artists from all over. There is food and some places have FREE BOOZE. DOUBLE YAY! My hair salon had margaritas and pink lemonade/vodka. It was a gorgeous night after the sun went down - there were also musical artists in some of the venues, and a live band at the Bandstand. Even though our thoughts were on dad, we still had fun. Sis hadnt eaten all day, so watching her stuff finger sandwiches in her face like they were filet mignon was a treat. She's a lightweight drinker too so she was tipsy in no-time :) We went to the bar afterwards (as it was strategically located within the blocked off area) - and played pool with a hottie and drank some more. We finished the night with greasy burgers from Rally's, and part of the move "Fatal Attraction" - it was FEAR FRIDAY on A&E TV (I think), ha.

Tonight Wynona (sp?) Judd is in concert, but I'll be at mom and dad's..there's a big shindig at the dam where she lives, with a hog roast and food - but not sure I"ll actually get to eat there, as I'm just going to see dad.

Here's the site for information about our dose of culture:

My garden is coming along nicely! I've picked 2 banana peppers, and if I wander out there today I'll have my 1st big tomato (the cherry tomatoes are starting to turn too). The corn is starting to form ears, and the zucchini is plugging right along. Some of the pics I took 2 weeks ago are attached to this post. MMM..nothing like fresh food with no weird chemicals and shit on it! YAY!!

Well, that's it for now..I'm hungry and need to work on an order that's way overdue :(

AAAAAH!!!

2008-07-07T11:31:00.001-04:00

Son of a bitch!

I have poison ivy on my arm, and a sticker (at least thats what we called them as kids) stuck in my finger, and I can't get it out!!!!

Boo hiss.........

:(

2008-07-02T20:02:00.001-04:00

It wont be long now..maybe only days :(

Give my family and I strength to survive. Please.

Dad and ME vs Mother Nature

2008-06-29T09:51:00.003-04:00

Hey all!

My gosh, what a weather pattern we're under. It has stormed every day for the past week, and today is going to be no exception. So its a race to see what I can get done outside in between storms, or before - of course, what you can do with wet grass and plants is quite limited!! What a pain! I have so much to do! I have one more side of the house to powerwash, and it doesnt look like I'll get that done today...not that its too terribly upsetting, I hate powerwashing - I look like a drowned rat by the time I'm done..messy, wet, BLECH!!!

Dad is holding his own. We've had some really good times lately. Lots of friends are coming to visit before he passes, and its great to see people. Friday night we had a herd of friends come - we used to go fishing to Canada and TN with them, it was an RV caravan as far as the eye could see. Those were the best times of my life...camping and fishing for perch and eating it fresh that night. Anyhoo, they all came down to visit and catch up and reminisce. It was constant laughter. The best time. After they left dad said that was one of the best nights of his life and he will always remember it. Mission accomplished!

On a really sad note, last night mom and I went out to dinner after church - we weren't gone that long..I had to take her home afterwards...well I hear my cell ringing when we were almost there..couldnt answer it cause it was in the backseat - we pull in the driveway, I get it out and see its DAD! We run into the house...he's freaking out - he woke up and no one was there..he thought it was 8 am, not 8 pm. He'd called my phone 4 times in 3 minutes..he was shaking...it was heartbreaking. I said "dad, like anyone would just leave you!" We think he zonked out after taking his Methodone, and lost his bearings :(

On an upnote, I got to take advantage of the VS semi annual sale. THAT = HAPPINESS. I shopped on line and got free shipping by searching for coupon codes (woo hoo) - that saved me $11!!! Well, I went to the mall yesterday to take advantage yet again..cause I had a coupon for a free cotton panty..and $10 off of a $50 purchase for filling out their customer service survey..SWEET! So I saved $15 and got some gorgeous, gorgeous panties...I heart panties! I'm so glad I get to buy them on a regular basis - THANKS GUYS! I also hit Bath n Body works - their sale is unreal. I got 2 bubble baths and 2 lotions and a purse sized spray for $11!!!! All of it was 75% OFF!!! I think I'll go back for more. That's just too good to pass up and I always need good bubble bath and lotion (both of which are hard to find).

So the dating thing isn't going so well....all my fault. Lots of hits from hotties on AFF, but I am, in all honesty, too distracted to meet anyone. Things are just too uncertain right now and my interest in sex has dwindled tremendously as a result ( dont get me wrong, I still masturbate darned near every night and always when I'm prepping panties). So lets rephrase...My interest in sex with anyone other than myself has dwindled, LOL. I've also managed to play host to a nasty sinus - type bug for over a week now, and its kicking my ass...darned effin' germs! Yesterday was rough..slept til 10- which is unusual now, then went back to bed at 12 noon til almost 3. Then I was zonked out by 10 pm last night!!!!

Goals for today: Weed wack around the side of the house. Plant my ornamental grasses and more sunflowers. Mow the front yard. Finish hanging the curtains. Cut up the watermelon on the counter. Scrub the bathroom. Sweep the kitchen floor. Make a video for someone. Eek..that's quite the list. Ugh.

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Just randsom stuff...and DAD

2008-06-22T10:31:00.002-04:00

I'm typing in gray today, because it reflects my mood of late. I've been sad, and pissy and grouchy - the stresses of every day life these days are really taking a toll on me, physically and emotionally. My dad's terminal illness, work, trying to majorly overhaul the exterior of the house (paint - 100% done by me from start to finish), money, gas prices (I drive 60 miles each day) - its no wonder I'm pretty much a wreck.

Dad is "holding his own." The vicadin isnt working, so now he's on methadone for pain. He has pancreatic cancer. They just started him on the methadone a few days ago, but have already had to increase the dosage. He is jaundiced..he looks like a zombie - like one of those people that have been bitten and are starting to "turn"..I know that's a weird analogy, but when you grow up watching horror flicks like that, it doesnt seem so weird. His personality hasnt changed.he's still funny and sassy, but I know the end is very near...and I do now know how to deal with this. I am emotionally unprepared and don't think there is anything I can do to "get" prepared.

Why do people have to die? I mean, why can't we all stay young forever..and be a happy family forever. Go fishing, watch NASCAR together from the infield of Daytona...collect shells on the beaches of Florida together...why do people have to get sick and suffer? It isnt fair.

***************************

ASSHOLE ALERT: "The Plumber"....as referenced in previous posts..gosh, what does one say. An eternal asshole, self centered. I had a moment of weakness last weekend and we hooked up. Guess I needed a nice big one and a hot sweaty guy on top of me. Oh well, such is life. Well...this past Friday night...3 am..he's ringing my doorbell...tapping on my window...of course, I was asleep. I ignored him. Not in the mood to be awakened, especially for a booty call...yesterday, I noticed he STOLE MY BROKEN CEMENT GOOSE off the front porch. I am pissed! That goose was my grandmas - the grandma that died last year...it is the only thing I wanted after she died, because she loved that darned thing..loved dressing it up - I'd buy her clothes for it...Yeah, its broken..but only because I havent figured out what adhesive I need to put it back together. I want my @#$# goose back. I sent him a text message telling him to bring it back and why, and it has yet to appear...SO NOT FUNNY (ok, the premise is kinda funny, but the fact it was grandmas makes it NOT!).

***********************

So, I've been working on the house here and there every weekend...getting it ready to paint. I've powerwashed half of it..what a @Q#$ chore. I've picked the color (its called "silver charm"). I will have white trim, not sure of the accent color yet. Powerwashing is so messy. Ick. But there is great satisfaction in DIY! I did get 6 windows replaced - THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS, AND UNCLE SAM. Without you, I would not have had the cash for this! I still had to borrow $600 from my sister, but regardless..the windows are in and I'm happy :) So nice to have real Energy Star windows. The OLD windows were the original from the house, from 1963. Yeah, they were awful. I'd like to get 3 more before winter (about $750), but I dont see how that will happen). I have taken some pictures of the house as a "work in progress", but they're still on the camera. I will definitely post them in the near future.

**********************

Guess I'll end this entry for now, I need to take some pictures for some on-line orders that are behind. I havent felt "sexy" lately, so its hard to take pictures when you feel fat, LOL. So I'm gonna take them today before I start stuffing me face! HAAAA!!!

Much love to all.

What does one do....

2008-06-13T22:16:00.002-04:00

When they're told their father has 2-8 weeks to live?

I dunno..I am numb. I feel a need to be self destructive...like drink myself into oblivion to try and forget this isnt happening...I cant believe this is happening.

Hospice comes in on Monday.

I cant write anymore now.

My best friend lost EVERYTHING - Horrible HOUSE FIRE - SEEKING DONATIONS

2008-05-10T08:56:00.004-04:00

Hello everyone.

First, this is not a happy post. It is a request for help from those that like to do something for others that are less fortunate.

Earlier this week, I found out that my best friend lost EVERYTHING, including their vehicle, in a house fire last week. This is a family of 6, that was immediately made to be homeless :( My friend, John, has been nothing but an amazing person to me. He's always been there for me, and now it's my turn to be there for him when he needs me most.

I have attached a few pictures of the fire (I have more if anyone is interested).

I am collecting cash and gift cards to give to him and his family to get them through this. Yes, they were insured (PHEW), but it will take time to rebuild. They are currently staying with friends. Below is a list of local stores with gift card programs (and URLs) that would be really helpful:

Target: http://www.target.com/GiftCards/b?ie=UTF8&node=14061591

Meijer: http://www.meijer.com/gifts/main.jsp

Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/giftcards?fromPageCatId=14503

Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productList&view=home&category=All+Occasion+Gift+Cards&N=5001702

Gift cards/cash can be sent to me at my PO Box, for delivery to John and his family:

Thank you in advance for your help.

**********

I haven't blogged in forever. I kinda feel guilty. I've been busy, and this past week, not feeling so well. I think its because I'm out of Nexium, so I've felt nauseous all of the time. Stupid insurance company doesnt have it on their approved medication list, so it's taking longer to get it filled. I sent them a nastygram Friday asking them what the holdup is, because I feel like CRAP! Maybe I can guilt them into sending it out quicker..Whatever, but it's worth a try.

********

Baby Ray is growing like a weed...he gained a POUND last week! My sister called him "hogzilla" - ha ha..that breast milk is good stuff! I didnt get to see him 'cause I was feeling bad, but I totally miss him so I definitely gotta get there soon.

*******

A few weeks ago I had a date with someone I met at Adultfriendfinder. I know, seems so taboo. But I was totally drawn to his personality. I AM SO GLAD I DID! He is a totally awesome guy, and way cuter in person. NO, I didn't sleep with him - just because I met him on an adult site doesnt mean I jumped in the sack right away. I dont make a very good slut, LOL, do I! I really wanted to see him this weekend, but he was sick (and I wasn't at the top of my game either), so we're gonna get together next weekend..then I can be a slut, since its the 2nd date...*wink*

*******

Its also time for me to start planning my biggest home project yet - EXTERIOR PAINT! I'm excited and nervous, it is quite the undertaking, because of the prep work needed..I have wood siding (original to my 60's ranch). It is in great condition, but peeling something awful. I've printed out information from L owe's website about the project, and I've been looking for different paint schemes as well. I've looked at many, but keep going back to something that looks nice and "clean". I really dig this house:

http://www.mikesokolsky.com/westwood/homeAndGarden.html

A special thanks to Jack for all of the auctions you've won...you've really helped me with the $$ to make this a reality!

Well, I best go for now..lots to do today!

THE STORY OF AUNT SHMOO

2008-04-06T09:17:00.002-04:00

There once was a girl named ..well, "me". Born in a trailer park in the 70's.

5 years later she suddenly had a sibling, ....."sis".

"Me" and "sis" had a great childhood...lots of awesome vacations, lots of love. We never wanted for anything.

"Me" and "sis" didn't like each other so much growing up...I pretty much picked on her all of the time. Yeah, even through high school. Our relationship didn't change until she left for college. For some reason, it flip flopped overnight. All of a sudden, I liked my "sis"...and I missed her. Having her away for years (while she puttered around the country for education and boys), was hard. I wanted to have her close to me.

All the while, despite our separate lives and completely different personalities, we shared one thing - the desire to NEVER REPRODUCE. It's odd really..didn't make sense. There was no basis for it. Our family was awesome!

Well...as years go by..."sis" actually found a soulmate, and married. Of course, I'm like a tumbleweed drifting in the dating world, but that's OK - really! Pressure's off me to spawn, and placed directly on her. She battled with the decision...still never really wanting to reproduce. The decision was "the 5 year plan." After 5 years of being married, we shall REVISIT the idea of making a bean (aka "kid").

As we all know, sometimes the "best laid plans" just don't quite go the way you want them to. Instead of "revisiting" at 5 years, BLAMO - the seed is planted, and "sis" is preggers. It was a very, very difficult first few months for our family, I'll leave it at that.

I kinda flipped out, and had myself sterilized so I would not get pregnant! (oh come on, things were a bit different for me, I didnt even have a boyfriend, let alone a mate!). Sis kind of hated me for that...but, I am no spring chicken and there's no long term anything on the horizon for me..so it's all good..

So...pregnancy progresses..."sis" was sick for 4 months :( Never ever did feel good. It hurt me to see her feel so crappy - she's always "on the go" - here and there, so watching her stopped in her tracks was difficult (she called it "pregnancy jail") :)

The time was approaching..she continued to get bigger and bigger (sis was such a hot pregnant chic - I didnt know that was possible. From behind you could not tell she was pregnant! It was all belly. She was adorable, but you couldn't tell her that).

Due date approaching...baby Ray does not want to come out. No dilation still, and we're only 4 days away from the due date. Decision is made to induce. So on 3/31, the process starts. I went to visit sis after work. 10 hours in, still only 3 cm.

It took 25 hours, changing positions a gazillion times, epidural, pain meds..exercise ball...before he was ready. Finally, on 4/1, out comes Baby Ray...the new love of my life.

The first time I met him, I was instantly in love - maybe for the first time in my life. He was merely an hour old, tiny and pink and perfect....BABY RAY, meet your AUNT SHMOO...

Life is forever changed by this little amazing creature, that my sister made. She made him! It really is mind boggling...I just want to snuggle him and eat him up! Never thought I'd feel this way about anything, especially a BABY!!! A BABY!!!

Baby Ray, Aunt Shmoo loves you..and we're gonna have the best time together!!!

World's Shortest Fairytale

2008-03-22T09:44:00.002-04:00

I love this, I have to share! I borrowed it from an amazing lady's blog, Mupdit.

World's Shortest Fairytale

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl, 'Will you marry me?' The girl said 'NO!'
And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, lunching,
drank martinis. Always had a clean house, never had to cook, had sex with whomever she pleased, did whatever the hellshe wanted, never argued, didn't get fat,
traveled more, had manyboyfriends, saved more money, and had all the hot water to herself. She watched chick flicks, never wore lacy lingerie that went up her ass, had high self esteem, ever cried or yelled, felt and lookedfabulous in sweat pants, and farted whenever she wanted.

The End

Excision #2 Complete.

2008-03-16T12:18:00.003-04:00

Hey all.

Gosh, what a week. Monday 3/10 I went back to have my melanoma removed. I had the assistance of valium. VALIUM RULES. Perhaps it was not as traumatic because I knew what was coming, or maybe it was the medication. Regardless, I sailed through it like a champ! I did NOT come close to passing out, but I did shed a tear when he started poking me with the needles to numb me (I don't think I'll ever get over that part of it). It didnt seem as bad this time either because after he shot me up, I didnt lay there and wait forever before he came back and performed the procedure. He numbed me up and went right to work (no time to lay there and think about what's coming).

I have more stitches this time (8), and the cut is a good 2 inches wide. EDIT: I was able to add pictures! This incision is a week old - it was really icky the day or two afterwards..still not pretty though :( When you remove a melanoma you must go wider and deeper. I see why this can be so disfiguring. Mine was stage 0, and it was the size of a pencil eraser. Best case scenario really.

The day after the removal was HELL though. I can't believe how terrible I felt. I hurt so bad, and I cant exactly pop a vicadin at work. I had a terrible headache too. I dont know how I made it through 8 hours. I havent been able to wear a bra for a week now (the incision is right on the bra line on my side) - that feels really weird when you have boobs the size of mine. I've been wearing huge sweatshirts to work!!! Hopefully I can make a bra work by tomorrow - I'm tired of feeling like a walking trash bag.

I took a picture of my boo boo, but when I pulled it off the camera it was terrible. So I'm going to try again under better lighting.

Also, here is a survey to test your sun smarts, and make recommendations for you as to how you can protect your skin. Take it!!!

http://www.aad.org/raysyourgrade/

I am also considering running an auction/contest to design a tattoo related to skin cancer and sun safety. If I do so, it will be under my glittergirljo ID at Ebanned.net.

If you're interested in making a donation to my tattoo fund, drop me a line and I will give you various payment options.

Hope everyone is having a great, snow free weekend!

SNOW PICTURES - 17 INCHES Official!

2008-03-09T12:00:00.002-04:00

Yep, official snowfall total for my town is 17" in a 24 hour period. Record breaking to say the least!

Here are some pics I took yesterday, which was actually before it all ended.

I was all set to go out and shovel again today - and one of my awesome neighbors snowblowed the driveway before I could get to it. Nice to have at least a few non-annoying, sweet people on the block!

Enjoy (cause I sure didnt..LOL)

Well since the google server isnt cooperating (I've had more trouble with this blog than you can imagine lately!), I've uploaded the photos to a directory.

You can see ALL OF THEM at the URL below:

BLIZZARD...AAAH!

2008-03-08T10:25:00.003-05:00

Hey hotties!

Yeah, you read the title right...BLIZZARD conditions right now. AAAH! Last blizzard in this area was 1978...30 years ago !! Here's a neat link about the '78 blizzard, complete with a video :)

http://www.ohiohistory.org/etcetera/exhibits/swio/pages/content/1978_blizzard.htm

I left work early yesterday, and thank god I did..it was still a terrible 30 mile drive home, but I made it safely - slipping and sliding in my rear while drive Mustang (the only time I 2nd guess that purchase is on days like yesterday!).

My mom was let out of work early, and she had to turn around and come back to town (i.e. my house) because her county road was impassable..hadn't even seen a plow after a good 4-5 inches of initial snowfall.

There was a break of a few hours before the 2nd round hit. I shoveled the driveway...got up this morning to find that you can't tell I did ANYTHING! Completely covered! So that means there's at least already 10 inches on the ground..and it's still snowing to beat hell.

So, here I am...stuck. Blizzard warning is until this afternoon. I'm gonna head out and shovel again anyway, so it wont be so terrible when I do it again later today! Just popped some cinnamon rolls in the oven..got my coffee..have internet access..cable TV...all is as good as can be!! Pictures will follow once all this is said and done :)

*********************

Monday is round 2 of cancer treatment. My pesky chest melanoma is being removed. I had the doc call in valium for me, because the 1st time was traumatizing to me and I need something to get through it. One of my girls from work is taking me (they are the BEST!) - that will make me feel better on top of the drugs, LOL.

The next month will be pretty crappy - in two weeks the stitches from Monday will come out AND in the same visit, I get another cancerous spot removed. So I'll be in full football like stitches for another month and on restricted movement because of the placement of those "spots".

All in all, it could be worse - for some reason though, I can't convince my subconsious of that completely - I haven't been able to sleep well at all :( DARN ME!

********************
To add to the crazy, my sis will be having her BEAN late this month, early April - so there will be a new baby in the family! At least I'm really excited about that! Maybe it will be a well needed distraction :) Baby Ray, we can't wait to see you!

Well, that's all for now..hope everyone is warm, and safe, and SNOW FREE!

M is for Melanoma

2008-02-25T19:02:00.007-05:00

One of my biopsy's came back as Stage "0" melanoma.

Just when I thought I was ahead of the game.

Mom just called, dad's in the ER - they're probably keeping him overnight, at least.

Don't feel like talking much, plus I'm starting to cry again and can hardly see the screen, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

The trauma of the doctor...blech! GRAPHIC POST

2008-02-09T09:24:00.000-05:00

Alrighty folks...Tuesday I had the "pleasure" of having a bascal cell carcinoma removed from my back. I have been traumatized ever since, and hardly able to talk about it! I still may pass out and end up a pile of goo next to my computer, as I type.

Skin cancer is NOT pretty. Even when you have the "best" kind, like me. Ugh. I had no idea what I was truly in for, until I was in really deep. I knew I would be numbed. I did NOT know I would be pricked FOUR TIMES with needles. I HATE needles. I yelped. It effin' hurt. After I was pricked, I had to lie there for a bit, so I would "numb up" real good. That was hell. I felt like I had laid there for days. I bet it was 5 minutes. So the doc comes in, checks me out, we're ready. Let's get this shit done. The actual cancer was removed in a heartbeat. I could'nt believe it. I was relieved. But it went downhill from there. I had an unruly blood vessel that wouldn't stop bleeding. They had to cauterize it. The sound of that and just thinking about what was going on, caused me to nearly pass out. Thank god I was already face down on a table. I kept taking really deep breaths to try and calm myself down. I was shaking like a leaf. After that was handled, time to stitch me up. WAAAH. I had multiple layers of stitches. Some underneath the skin, and about 4 on the outside (I havent looked yet, I'm not ready). It felt like it took forever to close me up. I really thought I was going to black out and/or vomit. At some point near the beginning of the procedure, I had to tell the doctor to STOP telling me what he was doing back there, because it was making me feel even worse.

When they were done, I had to lay there for a few moments and get myself together. The nurse asked if I was OK because I was breathing so deeply. I told her I was trying to make sure she didn't have to pick me up from the floor, ha!

I'm not allowed to lift anything or do any movements that could cause the stitches to tear, for THREE WEEKS! Doc says its like a "zipper" - move the wrong way and bam, it will open right up. GAG. It's in a weird, unreachable spot on my back...lovely. I have to clean it and change the bandage 2x a day for 2 weeks. Thankfully there is a nurse at work, so that takes care of Monday -Friday. I had to call on my mom for "mom duties" a few nights this week, had to have her come by after work and clean me up. Gross!

On a worse note, there is another spot on my shoulder - I showed the doctor - he said he was 90% sure that would have to be cut out too - I get a biopsy for that in 2 weeks, when I go back to get these stitches taken out. So knowing that I am going to have to do this again is tripping me out. Hopefully this time won't be as bad, because this spot just appeared over the course of the past few months, while the one on my back had been there for a good 5+ years.

This is no fun at all. I just want to be cancer free already! I'm also bummed, I love the sun - the ocean, the pool, the beach, working in the yard, planting flowers. Summer is my time. Guess I'll just have to be slathered up in SPF 10,000 when I go out from now on, sniff sniff... this pasty white girl is gonna be pasty white forever and ever!

Well, that's enough for now..got a busy day on tap..oil change, post office, sis's baby shower disguised as a BBQ (I got her this rockin' IKEA high chair), NASCAR this evening..Hope everyone has a stellar, worry free weekend!

TOMORROW'S THE DAY, and EXTENDED FREE SHIPPING

2008-02-04T20:39:00.000-05:00

Hello.

I'm extending my free/discounted shipping offer through February. So take advantage and save a few buckaroos!

******************

Tomorrow I'm having my cancer cut out. I'm starting to feel a bit sick at my stomach. Its going to be the longest 30 minutes of my life to date, I'm sure :( Blech.

BIRTHDAY SOON!

2008-01-26T09:23:00.000-05:00

Yes, I am an Aquarius!

Read everything you want to know about Aquarians here (quite the interesting tidbit!)

http://www.astrology-online.com/aquarius.htm

The official "big day" is Tuesday, 1/29. Plans? Not really, not for that day in particular...I hate birthdays in the middle of the work week. They blow!

Today I am having lunch with some friends and family at Mongolian BBQ, MMMM.

Hopefully next weekend I'll get to celebrate by throwing a few back at my favorite bar, while the tunes of a killer AC/DC coverband wane in the background.

*************************************

As a "kinda sorta" web celebration, I'm going to offer FREE FIRST CLASS (to the UNITED STATES) SHIPPING on EVERYTHING at my website...INTERNATIONAL AT HALF PRICE - FOR ONE WEEK (expiring at midnight 2/1).

You order will still calculate shipping, but your CARD WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY, as I have complete control over the $ amount that processes (even though I do not see your information - aaah..technology is great when it works!)

I have also made a few changes to items in the store, and will be adding a lot more panties this weekend (in case you don't see something you like today) :)

IF YOU READ THIS BLOG, BOOKMARK IT!

Hello all:

I am the official poster child for "when it rains it pours."

If my site is down for any amount of time in the upcoming days, read this blog for an update.

Dreamhost (my host) billed their customers over $7.5 MILLION dollars in error on 1/15. They billed me for over 2 YEARS in advance. Almost $300 hit my checking account. Guess what, I dont have $300. It is a nightmare of global proportions for tons of people. Here is the post at their site:

http://blog.dreamhost.com/

I am on my way to the bank to file a dispute, which may then in turn make it look like I owe money (because of the glitch) - which might in turn, take my site down until its resolved. AT this point I need the $ over the site being up and running, so that's the risk I have chosen to take. I apologize in advance if there is an outage, as I planned on doing an update this weekend.

**************************

Yesterday, I was in a panic. It appeared I had lost both of my badges for work. How did I do that! I tore the house apart, the car..nothing. I had to have lost it in the parking lot.

Getting into work took me almost 2 hours. The relief was that I had a voice mail that someone had turned them in the night before (I LOVE YOU WHOMEVER YOU ARE!). Then it took me another 45 minutes to actually locate the badge so I could retrieve it. What a way to end an already shitty week at work.

*************************

All week I've had horrible nightmares - one night I woke up covered in sweat. I continue to dream about serial killers (one was very much a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type dream) coming after me. I always remember my dreams vividly - like they are real life. That's not always a good thing. My mom made a good point, that perhaps they are stemming from my fear of my newly found skin cancer. I think she's right. This month is dragging - I wish I could have it removed NOW. I still have to wait 2 weeks :(

I have no energy at all this week. I get home from work and sleep for 2 hours, then go back to bed 2 hours after that and sleep all night. And then I dont want to get out of bed. The work days seem like 12 hours instead of 8. At least I have a 3 day weekend to be a slug. Its also going to be beyond cold this weekend, so I really really really dont want to go anywhere!

***************************

Well that's it for now, I got to go to the bank before they close.

XOXO

I have the worst luck!!!! CAR ACCIDENT

2008-01-06T21:16:00.000-05:00

OK, I would like to start over 2008 please. Pretty please!

I was shopping for some staples today and I get a call from my mom's cell. Only it wasnt my mom on the other end, it was a paramedic. Mom was in an accident, and totalled her car. W AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! She was in the squad, and would be at the hospital in about 10 minutes. I drop everything and head to the ER. I beat her there.

Waiting is nervewracking. After about 30 minutes, they take me back. She's stable, but strapped to a board, her neck in a brace. No cuts or external bleeding, but her neck and spine were hurting. I was crying of course...I'm very close to my mom. She started crying, she was so shaken. I think my mom has cried only once or twice in her life.

I call my sister about 30 miles away, she gets in the car to come down. She arrives, and sent her hubby to be with my dad, who is basically a shut-in. He was hysterical, and couldn't even breathe. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

Mom finally calmed down, and they take Xrays and do a CT scan of her spine. It all came back OK. She couldnt wait to get off that darned board. I don't blame her! After about 3 hours of being there, they released her because everything was coming back fine, and there was no blood in her urine (a sign of internal b leeding).

What a scare.

So what happened? Some dumb cunt ran a stop sign and nearly T-boned my mom. I wanna strangle the bitch. She lives around there, so I know she was aware of the stop sign. She was probably talking on a fucking cell phone. When she hit mom, mom went flying off into the cornfield. The airbags deployed. Mom has a guardian angel, that's for sure..because as soon as it happened someone stopped - and that someone happened to be a former paramedic. She kept my mom still and calm til the squad got there. Mom asked how her car was, and everybody told her it was totalled. The front driver side wheel was back behind the driver side door. We can't wait to see the the car.

Well, I am exhausted. I need to go to bed. I'm so happy my mom is OK. Sniff.

TF, HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ME - I get CANCER!

2008-01-05T10:10:00.000-05:00

Yes, you read that right. I have cancer.

That horrible "C" word.

Happy fucking 2008 girlfriend.

A few weeks ago, I went to see a dermatologist because I thought I had excema or dermatitis. While I was there, I had him check a spot on my back that had been there for a few years. He did a biopsy. He said if everything was OK I'd get a card in the mail after the 1st of the year. I didn't get a card, I got a phone call. I knew it was gonna be bad. The nurse told me over the phone (which I thought was kind of strange), that the biopsy came back as positive for BASAL CELL Carcinoma - skin cancer. I was speechless. She said that if you have to have a cancer, this is the best kind..Is there a best kind? Not in my mind, not at that moment, there wasn't. I started crying, but tried to hold it together while I was talking to her. She said she'd send some information in the mail to me, and we made an appt for February for the consult. She said they would cut it out. ICK.

I hung up, and started bawling at my desk. Thankfully my wonderful friends work right next to me, and were there to make me feel a little bit better. (Darn it, I'm gonna cry again!).

Cancer. Cancer. I have cancer. WTF.

That was found on a whim. What if I have it elsewhere? I am going to call the doctor back and tell them that at my next appt, I want checked from head to toe.

What was determined to be cancer wasn't even a mole, so don't think you can't get a cancer diagnosis from something else on your skin. Google "basal cell carcinoma" and look at the pictures. Yeah, they're not appetizing - but you should know what it looks like. Mine was just a little dry patch of skin - that itched from time to time. It's about the size of a dime. Unassuming - just bright pink, and pretty round in shape.

Its not always easy to get an appt with a dermatologist. The odd thing is, I tried a little over a year ago..and was told there was a 6 month wait. I called doctors in my county, and a neighboring one. I let it go. Then when mom and I went on vacation in July, she noticed the spot and said "I wish you'd get that checked out" - I let it go again, until December. I opted to try for a doc in "the big city" - he got me in within 2 weeks. It may have saved my life. Guess that remains to be seen.

I have more I could talk ab out, but that will wait til I feel like posting again.

Sorry for the new year downer!

Oh the holiday stress!

2007-12-29T11:57:00.000-05:00

Is it over yet? Almost!

Christmas was good - mom always goes overboard. We keep telling her to stop it, every year, but she ignores us. Perhaps next year will be different - there will be a new bean in the family, and mom and dad will be grandparents - a recipe for total spoilage! Speaking of beans, I did a watercolor for my sister and her hubby for the nursery - pictures attached! (PS - she is the cutest preggo chic ever, but she thinks she's fat!)

I've been fighting migraines nearly every day for over a week. I am hoping it is just holiday anxiety and ex-boy anxiety, combined with a shitty mattress (why are mattresses so expensive?). I'm really over taking 15 aspirin a day trying to kill this thing, but I'll pop as many pills as I have to to try and stop it.

I am sad today, I miss the ex-asshole. Every time I miss him, I think about how mean he was to me and I feel a little bit better, but it still makes me melancholy.

I am contemplating a major life change...selling my house within the next year and moving to the big city, where I work, 30 miles away. The only negative is that ILOVE THIS HOUSE. If I could take it with me, I'd move tomorrow. I hate my neighbors beyond words, none of my friends live in this town anymore, and I need a change in my social life (I in effect, don't have one). It scares me to death ultimately, I'm very much a small town girl - and moving to the capital city is frightening. Will I be safe living alone? What will I do with myself with so many options? I never thought I"d leave here...ever. $3 a gallon for gas is killing me, the commute is killing me (especially during the winter)..the list goes on and on. I have lots to think about.

Well, I have to go to the PO - and I'm starving, so I'm outta here for now!

HOpe everyone had a wonderful xmas and has a splended New Year!

Doctor Visit

2007-12-19T20:00:00.000-05:00

I went to a new doctor today. I really liked him and his staff. They were very friendly and made me feel at ease. I really really needed that, because I got lost trying to find them. Left in time to be there 15 minutes early, and was 10 min. late..ARGH. I hate big cities - they're so intimidating to me.

The not so great news is, they did a biopsy - I wasn't expecting it. I should know something after the 1st of the year. After the doctor left, the nurse said "I wouldnt worry too much, I can tell he wasn't concerned and he's almost always right." So, I guess I'll try not to think about it. At least I have the distraction of being really busy right now, both at work and with holiday stuff.

I guess we'll see soon enough.

Hope all is well with all of my darlings out there!

ALTERNATE EBANNED ID ask me

2007-12-15T10:32:00.000-05:00

Howdy sweet boys and girls!

Many of you know I stopped selling panties under my Glittergirl ID, due to slagging sales and multiple relists without bids. I DO HAVE OTHER ITEMS FOR SALE as Glittergirl! I can't totally abandon and ID that has been so good to me for over 5 years. I'm hoping things have only come to a screeching halt because of holiday gift giving - which is fine, because FAMILY COMES FIRST :)

As for panties, I prefer they be purchased through my website (I've gotta see more action there or shut it down). HOWEVER, because I love watching auctions unfold so darned much, I do have a new Ebanned ID. I will not divulge it here. If you have won or have bid on GLITTERGIRL auctions, email me and I will tell you - in case you'd like to bid. Reason? I thought maybe I'd attact some new customers and generate new interest. So far, my first auction resulted in non paying bidder. Lovely, eh? !!!!! So that's that on the business side of things.

********************

Guess what! I got an A in my class! I'm so stoked. It was so hard. I truly admire those that do taxes either as a full time job or on the side. Flipping complicated as all hell, and with laws that change regularly? I thought my brain was going to explode.

*******************

WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT. Oh shit. Yes, it isnt doing anything outside yet - but it's coming. The best part? I dont care BECAUSE ITS THE WEEKEND, I DONT HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE!!! YAY!! IT CAN SNOW 2 FUCKING FEET TODAY IF IT WANTS TO! I do have to get my brows waxed to get rid of the forest growing out of my forehead, but that's in a few hours so I should be good.

*******************

Its been a good month at work..I got another award that resulted in 8 hours paid time off..that's the 2nd one in in 2 months. Those suckers are hard to come by! I am giddy. I cant divulge all of the information, but I can say it was for providing excellent customer service to 2 locations in the US. Otherwise it would have taken 2 months to earn that time. SWEET!!!!

*******************

I have all my xmas shopping done, I just have to do a project for my sister's present. I am so happy! Can't wait til its all over, and loooking forward to a 4 day weekend over the holiday. YAY!

Well, I best go..might stop at the library and find a movie to check out since I'll be SNOWED IN, UNDER, OVER, WHATEVER this weekend.

TOODLES!

Happy Day after Thanksgiving, ha!

2007-11-23T10:41:00.000-05:00

Howdy sweet peeps!

Hope everybody had a super thanksgiving. Mine was weird this year - we celebrated our family dinner last Sunday, so I was left with nothing to do on the actual holiday - a first in my entire life. It felt surreal! One of my friends from work invited me and another gal from work to her house to eat with her hubby, as they weren't going out of town. SWEET, its a date!

We had a great time - we didnt burn the turkey, and everything else was excellent - we made oyster stuffing, and sweet potato casserole - mashed potatoes and gravy (I was in charge of that - big mistake, it was more like pudding than gravy, but it still tasted good!) - green bean casserole (massive farting material, LOL) - cream cheese cracker dip, shrimp cocktail, buffalo cheese dip, Hawaiian rolls, corn - double layer pumpkin pie - I think that's all - quite the feast for 4 people! (technically only 3 1/2 bellies, because one of us was recovering from a touch of the flu).

We watched BORAT (I've never seen it - how funny), and South Park..we started to watch The REaping, but I had to leave because I would have fallen asleep.

I swear, Turkey is natures tranquilizer. I fell asleep for 2 hours when I got home, and felt drugged when I got up..I went back to bed for the night 2 hours after that! Then a gain, I wasnt feeling the best either - I"m trying to catch a cold or sinus thing AGAIN (@#$@###$).

Today I am having lunch with a former employee - turned friend about an hour away. She had a kid about a year ago, and I havent seen them! I'm excited, I miss her. She was always so much fun to work with and be around.

I have quite a bit of homework this weekend (ICK) - what's up with that, what professor does that shit to his class, hello..HOLIDAY WEEKEND!

Tomorrow I"m getting my hair cut - any ideas? If you see a hairstyle on line for long hair, send me a pic. I dont know what to do. I'm just bored to tears with plain long hair - Its just long..no style, and its making me bonkers. I totally want to change it up = something fun. I"m not afraid to go drastic either. My stylist loves me for that, ha!

Well, gotta go take a shower, have a great weekend everyone!

NO MORE PANTY AUCTIONS

2007-11-18T11:48:00.000-05:00

Hello all:

Effective immediately, I will no longer be auctioning PANTIES at Ebanned.

The only way to purchase them will be through my website (WWW.CODEREDHEAD.NET) or via direct sale, if you don't see something you want.

Thank you.

2007 GOLDEN PANTY AWARDS - ITS TIME!

2007-11-12T10:06:00.000-05:00

I can't believe its time for another round of the Golden Panty Awards!

If you think I've done a great job for you this year, then nominate me :) Be prepared to write a little blurb about why you chose to submit the nomination as well.

The contest is a bit different this year - fewer categories, and nominees must be a member of the Panty Hog website. Ensures that only the cream of the crop are being considered.

You can get all of the scoop at this URL:

http://www.usedpantyportal.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=759&Itemid=1

Hopefully the article will answer your questions, if not, you can visit the forums at Panty Hog and read about the contest even more in depth.

Happy Monday everybody!

I never said I was NORMAL

2007-11-11T16:34:00.000-05:00

...and just to prove my level of quirkiness, I posted a MILLION DOLLAR PANTY auction on Ebanned. What a hoot! I thought I'd try something to promote myself and my personality as a seller, so well...I did it. Hopefully it will get noticed.

I also used the front page opportunity to blast the mother fucker that stole my shoes. USER ID "SOLESLICKER" won an auction to clean my Skechers (my favorite shoes) and return them to me. Well the piece of shit asshole kept them, and ignored all of my emails requesting their return, despite their condition. Of course, he ignored the emails requesting payment for me to replace them. Well you stupid prick, see what being a thief gets you? Bad publicity. Hopefully you won't be able to bid on any foot auctions - because girls will add you to their banned bidders list. Lesson to be learned: Don't piss off the redhead.

Onto the next chapter - What will life be like without the plumber? I guess we'll see. I've had it, and I told him so. I just can't do this anymore. If he cares, he has a funny way of showing it - and I can't deal. He is so fucked up - has so many issues he needs to work out. I tried to help, tried to be there for him - but you can't help anyone that isn't ready, that won't admit anything is even wrong - and you can't change anyone and get their shit together for them. I can barely take care of myself, and my family needs me more now than some (super hot) emotionally crippled plumber. Maybe some day he'll wake up and realize, but I can't wait for that to happen.

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this, if I did, it was only briefly. My sister is pregnant. It has been a very trying experience for the family - why? Because it was not planned, not necessarily welcome. Why? Because the pregnancy happened in the same year grandpa died, and sis did not want that to happen because of the emotional pain. Plus, sis never wanted children - the only reason she kept it is because of mom and her hubby. Now that's some love there. I thought she was coming around, but then she found out it was going to be a boy last week, and took steps backwards. NONE of us wanted a boy. No offense, but ICK. I dont know what to do with a baby, but at least if it were a girl, I'd understand it better. A boy? I'm scared to death! Mom and sis are at odds because mom feels like sis isnt acting "like she should" - aka happy to be pregnant. How can you be happy when you never wanted children? Every day is a challenge. Some days are OK, some are awful because I hear from both mom and sis about how one is irritated with the other - and then there are the arguments between sis and her hubby about being parents. It really hasn't been good - to top it all off, sis has been sick the entire time :( The only amusing thing are her priceless one-liners when they appear..I think my favorite is "I feel like a science project! I just want my body back" :)

Well, I've dribbled enough for today, hope everyone is having a great weekend.

An auction posting FOOL, I AM!

2007-10-28T09:14:00.000-04:00

Hello everybody, wow, I've been under the radar for a bit, haven't I!

As many of you know (if you read this blog you do), I had surgery a couple of weeks ago. It went perfectly, although I wasn't feeling as good as I wanted to as quickly as I wanted to. Nevertheless, I had my follow up appt this past Wed., and got the "all clear." :) YAY!

The part that really sucks, as soon as I started feeling good again, I got hit with a terrible cold. I was NOT happy! I'm still sniffly, but I feel a gazillion times better than I did days ago. Add the stress of starting school, and geesh..it feels like I've been barely surviving each day.

Yesterday though, I was a picturing fool! I listed many auctions, in multiple categories - (and there are more coming today). The big one is on the front page of Ebanned - its a super hot set...a must see! So check it out, christmas is coming, and I have a prescription (Nexium) I need loot for too (and don't have).

Hope all is well with all of you!

Much love....

I hate sniffles...

2007-10-22T19:12:00.000-04:00

So I had a pretty good weekend, minus the hangover yesterday. I had a bit of a sore throat, but didn't think anything of it.

Woke up today with a full fledged COLD. Son of a bitch! This sucks. I have a 14 hour day tomorrow between work and school. No way am I going to get on top of this one :( Being phlegm-y and sniffly and sneezy so isn't hot....nor fun.

Vitamin C, please do your thing quick, there's no time to be under the gun again, hell I'm still getting over surgery! Shoo cold, shoo!!!!
