Happy Birthday Arkie

I know her birthday is in August but I felt like a birthday post. To celebrate, I am going to some fancy schmancy Italian place for dinner tonight with the inlaws. See how terribly nice I am. And I won't get home until super duper late. So to further celebrate, I can continue my crankyfest tomorrow while I am dead tired.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOO!!!!!!

Who knew that it was Boo's birthday? And why wasn't I told about it? I was going to buy her a Hummer and now I would just feel lame sending her a gift after her birthday.
Drinks on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More randoms

I hate not being at my computer during the day. This week has sucked rocks and having no computer just makes it worse.

Delta and Dawn, the humpback whales, have made it back out to sea. Makes me so happy.

I don't know if I mentioned it but I missed my GF sooooooo much. I really just had no idea how much until I picked her up at the airport.

I have to go shopping for dress up clothes tonight. Yucky. I'm looking forward to the wedding this weekend (Michelle's brother's wedding) but not looking forward to grownup/dressy clothes.

I probably will not be around the computer again tomorrow. *pout* Me no likey.

Sometimes, by No Doubt

Sometimes, sunshine Does not want to shine on me
And sometimes I find myself blind
At first I cannot see And then I see it's me
I chose a road when I was young In search of fun temptation won And all my soul I did surrender
If I had a chance to go back now Would I redeem my moral vows Or would I repeat for my own laughter
Sometimes I hide somewhat Like a bulb behind a shade
And sometimes I ask myself why
Is it cause the lights are too bright Or because my eyes are closed too tight
Sometimes I find myself blind Don't use my brain don't use my mind
Distorted feelings always leading my way
But I must forgive myself And let the past lay down to rest And I'll be prepared to face myself in another day, hey!
From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
Sometimes sunshine Does not Want to shine on me
And sometimes, sometimes I get lost I get lo-ost
I chose a road when I was young In search of fun temptation won And all my soul I did surrender
If I had a chance to go back now Would I redeem my moral vows Or would I repeat for my own laughter
From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
From now on, hey hey hey yeah, From now on, oh hey hey From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved
Sometimes I find myself blind Don't use my brain don't use my mind Distorted feelings always leading my way
But I must forgive myself And let the past lay down to rest And I'll be prepared To face myself in another day, hey!
From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved,
I mean it From now on I will behave But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved

Kimmah made me smile today

For those who don't know, Kimmah and I started off a little on the rough side. After that she nicely extended her hand and I have to admit that I felt a little suspect about it. She invited me into the bar one night after we had a couple of not so nice PMs with each other. I remember talking to Glow about it and was worried that she was setting me up for an ambush or something. *snort* Me? Paranoid? Never.
Anyhow, ever since then (and that was bout 3 years ago) we have warmed up to each other. Oh shit, unless she is still setting me up for an ambush. *looks over shoulder*
So today was obviously a little heated on the OT and it is probably a good thing that my boss banished me to another part of the building for the last part of the day. I came back a little less irritated and Kimmah had me cracking up. A lot of people had me cracking up but today Kim is who stuck out as the one who made me crack up the most.

So far I have survived without Michelle. Of course, she has only been gone for a day. But how odd. I've noticed that since she left, the cat box fairy, the dish fairy, the counter cleaning fairy, the garbage take out fairy and the mail fairy seem to have disappeared. I hope they return before she does. I'm not even going to get in to what the shopping fairy bought me to eat for the next five days. It was not me who bought cookie dough for dinner or cake for breakfast or peanut butter cups for lunch. Nope. Wasn't me.
It's a good thing that I am going out to dinner with Sharnina tonight. It will be my one good meal of the week. *grin*

I made a decision

While Michelle is gone, I am going to go as peopless as possible. I think it is necessary for me to regroup, alone for a bit. Hmmmm, possible rant ahead...
I think I need to take some time to be alone. I can tell that the stress is getting to me. I want to choke half of the newbies on OT and it's gotten to a point where my judgement is clouded. I'm ready to pounce and I shouldn't feel that way. This is the first time that a group of newbies have gotten on my nerves like this. I don't want to be one of those "old timers" that hates all the newbies. I've never been that way before and I think that maybe some of my frustration is being misguided.
Poor Monsty. she called me this morning for our morning chat session and all I did was bitch and complain and then had to hang up. Our morning phone calls are something that I enjoy and I would prefer that she enjoy them too.
I think I may have been the same with Glow on the phone too. And we don't get to talk on the phone as much as we used to.*sigh*
And for the life of me, I can't seem to be nice to Breezy this week. And not our normal sibling bickering. I'm pretty sure that I have been straight up rude with her. Not a nice way to treat a friend.
Then after work today, I accidentally cut someone off because I thought their blinker was on to turn. Well, oops, they didn't turn and I totally cut him off. My fault 100%. I pulled into my bank and around the back alley where the drive through is and he followed me. He turned around to say something to me and I quickly apologized for cutting me off. He then called me a bitch. AFTER i APOLOGIZED AND TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUTTING HIM OFF. That really pissed me off so i followed him into the Verizon store. I tapped him on the shoulder and said "I really want to apologize for cutting you off. It was my fault and I'm sorry". He told me to get the fuck out of his face. Then his GF started to yell at me. Fucking idiots. I was nice and said sorry, forget it now. So I of course called him a pansy ass mother fucker and told him that if Verizon was selling class, he should buy double. His GF got in my face after that. I told her if she took one more step towards me that her next step would be her last. He then threatened me and I told him to take his pansy ass outside and he could show me what would happen if I didn't get out of his face. Of course he did not. I have to laugh though because he was over 6 feet tall and he was literally shaking. I'm sure out of anger but it was funny to watch him shaking. anyhow, I left the store, he called me a pussy, I told him you are what you eat and I went about my business. BUT...the entire way home, I wanted to turn around and go beat the shit of him and his GF.
Anyhow, with all of this buildup with anger, I think it's time for Carey to take a step back for a bit so that she can find Bravie again. I'm sure I will be online here and there. I can never stay away. Too curious, too codependent, too something. But I think I will spend the next few days holed up in my house doing things that relax me. Read, listen to some music, download some CDs onto my iTunes, kick it in the pool (weather permitting), maybe watching some old movies that I haven't seen in awhile. Just being away from real people for a bit. Because I'm ready to strangle someone. Soon.
Of course, I have to get through work tomorrow and a funeral for one of my best friend's grandpa. Friday night I am going out with Sharnina. Sunday to the Giants game with my Mom. so the rest of the time, it will just be me, myself and I, trying to regroup if possible. I think I've lost my ability to be nice.
Sorry for the long post if you made it this far.

What will Bravie do?

Michelle leaves on Thursday for NM and won't be home until Tuesday. I have plans for Thursday, Friday and Sunday. So what will I do on Saturday and Monday? Should I make those peopless days and catch up on my reading? Hmmm, I think the weather is supposed to be nice this weekend. Perhaps I will fill up my pool, blow up the raft, sit around catching rays and reading. And of course there will be vanilla vodka involved. *sips vanilla vodka/7-UP*

Delta and Dawn

*pout* A real story of free Willy. It makes me sad.

Bachelorette party

*sigh* I'm not the least bit excited about the bachelorette party this weekend. First of all, I think that we are a bit too old for this one. It's for our future SIL and she is only 23. Which means that all of her friends are around 23. And they are the squealy sorority types. I have a feeling that after their first shot they are going to be on the floor.
We'll make the best of it. There are about 20 of us and we are going to Asia SF which is a trendy bar/restaraunt/drag place. They also have male strippers. Well, I mean real male strippers. Most of the staff at Asia SF are drag queens. At least Michelle and I won't be the only two gay people at the club. One thing about bachelorette parties is that they always go to trendy little clubs, usually meat markets, always straight. So the appeal to us, two middle aged married lesbians, is not huge. So this time we have to pay $75 each. This includes dinner, one shot and entry into the club and access to the show. (whatever the show is *shrug*) I keep complaining about the cost but Michelle said that it isn't really as out of line as I think it is. Then, the maid of honor, two days ago, has told us what to wear. A cute black top and nice jeans. Now what pisses me off about this is that I don't like to be told what to wear. So since she has dictated what we should wear, it makes me want to wear a green shirt and crappy jeans. Unfortunately, I had already decided last week what I wanted to wear. And it was a cute black top and nice jeans. So now I am going to look like a conformist. And that really pisses me off. But I think the outfit that I chose to wear is perfect because it is super comfy and I think I look pretty decent in it. Not at all dykey. Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
So what do you have planned this weekend?

I'm mad at Glowie

No, I'm not kidding. I'm really super mad at her. Really. Lock up your wives is all I can say.
She told me that she had emailed Michelle today. Well she says that often but never really does. So I show up at Michelle's office today (I was taking her brother to the airport) and she has this shit eating grin on her face. "What?" I say. "I emailed with my girlfriend today". Ohhhhh? Well, apparently, behind my back, Glow Middlename Lastname, asked my girlfriend to run away with her. *glare* I am very very mad. Can you tell by the look on my face that I am very serious? *very mad and serious face*
Back off woman!!!!

That? Was fun to watch. *grin*

Are you watching Dancing With The Stars? What a great show last night. They were all on the top of their game. I had planned on falling asleep on the couch because I was extremely tired. But it was so good that I stayed awake for the entire show. I think I have a bit of a crush on Leila Ali. Michelle said she had a bit of a crush on Joey Fatone. We would like to double date. *grin*

Do you feel this is needed?

I certainly do.

Arkie is lucky

That I don't know how to photoshop. Heh, lots of people should be happy that I don't photoshop. :)

Isn't Arkie funny?

She thinks she is sooooo funny. *glares at Arkie*

And one that makes me very very happy. *grin*

Alaska Air and Dell

Those two companies are on my good list right now.
After our flight cancellation in Mexico, Alaska issued both Michelle and I a $200 credit (each) for a future flight. Yay them.
This morning I received a letter from Dell. Apparently they are having recalls on some of their laptops due to LCD issues. Remember a couple of months ago when I had to send my computer away? It was due to LCD problems. Dell is issuing me an entire refund check in the next 7 to 10 days. That was almost $500. So yay for Dell. This is one of the reasons that I continue to buy my computers from them.

I love my pool

This is the new pool that I bought this weekend. (People not included)Today I bought a floatie chair, a big huge duck and a battery operated Nemo fish thing that swims around the bottom of the pool.(batteries not included)

Relaxing in my mini pool is much needed after the days that I spend at work these days. Especially today. *sigh*

But YAY!!! I own a pool. So that's what I am going to focus on right now. No negative in my blog today. Life is good and work is just somewhere that I go to collect my money so that I can buy things like my pool. And Nemo. And Norman. Norman is the duck. (removable rain hat included)

I miss Boo and Kim though. I wish I had bought my pool earlier because then we could have had a pool party. *dorkgle*<---that's a dork snort, in case you wondered.

Kim is drunk and I am a chaperone. Notice I am drinking milk

Kim's a drunk

And stole my phone. She made drunk calls and posed as me while I was at church. *blink* *blink*
I need to lie down down because I drank too much wine at chruch. Goodnight. *hic*

Saturday morning randoms

For some reason, I thought I got more pictures of the Boo/Weltek/Sanjana meet. I guess I spent more time trying to find our way. Here is the one group shot that I got and one with Kim not trying very hard to save Sanjana from the grips of a large Elephant.

I got to hang out with Boo again yesterday afternoon. We met at the rental car place and I did not get lost finding it this time. We went to a local brewpub for a quick bite to eat. I had never been there before and I have to say that I will be going again. I liked the food. The company was better though. Poor Boo. I was operating on only 4 hours of sleep. When that happens, I either fall asleep or I talk a million miles a minute. Yesterday I was talkative. She was probably happy to get to the airport so she didn't ahve to listen to me talk anymore.

I also drove her to see my parents infamous green house. I told her she didn't have to be polite about it when she saw it. She just kept repeating "oh my, that's very green". *snort*

Today I am hooking up with Kim. After we go to church, we are going to the Lush cosmetics store. Due to the name and due to our innocence, we are going to go there to bless the store. We, as innocent women, would never patronize a store named Lush. After Lush we have no set plans yet. I'm sure it will involve more church going, glaring at people drinking alcohol and much prayer. We are Bravie and Weltek and that's how we roll. I hope you are having a great weekend.

Waaaaay fun

I don't have any pics yet. Not that a ton were taken because we didn't have long.
Once I got Boo and Kim, we had a great time. I will say that Boo has had the most comprehensive tour of the area surrounding SF Airport. *snort*
And then there was Weltek. Boo, Michelle and I had the most comprehensive tour of the Daly City BART station.
It may be safe to say that Bravie is not as great at directions as she thinks. :)
Anyhow, once we were all assembled in my Hummer *snort* we went to dinner. (One of the first things out of Boo's mouth when I got her at the airport was "This isn't a Hummer" ) *snort*
The five of us (must include Sanjana) went to The Elephant Bar for dinner. I'm sure the food was good enough but the company was 100 times better. And yes, we talked about You and yes, you too. *grin*
Unfortunately our time was very brief and Weltek had to get back to the train. We brought Boo back to our house for a little while and then I drove her back into the city to her hotel. *sobs* They left me.
I get to see Weltek again on Saturday. We are going to make it a lush and LUSH day. *giggle*
All in all, I had a great time with two of my good friends, my GF and our banana. *happy sigh*
I think Boo should stay and go with us on Saturday. That's what I think.

Wheeeeeee

Gues what I'm doing tonight. Guess. Give up?
Michelle and I will be dining with Boo, Weltek and Sanjana. Be jealous. *grin*

I need to pluck my eyebrows

They are driving me insane. I haven't plucked since the week before I went to Mexico. I just haven't had a chance since we've been home. And now they look all icky. Not bushy, just not manicured. At the rate that I am going and as busy as I am in the next few days, I probably will not get a chance until sometime next week. Waaaaaaaaah. I feel dirty.
