Will that be pick-up or delivery?

Yesterday I had a friend come over with her kids for a play date so to speak and just to hang out. We decided to get pizza for dinner. I don't cook anymore and rarely do I have food to prepare in my kitchen since it is only me, well and the baby who is on the jar food. When she moves up to table food I will be forced to go grocery shopping on a regular basis for healthy choice foods. Anyway so we order pizza and I went to pick it up because the rediculous time of 45 minutes and 2 hungry children wasn't gonna fly. This is how my trip to the pizza joint went.
- Walk in pay at counter, nice young quite boy takes money and goes to warmer to get pizza
- Hands me the pizza, notices on the receipt I have a salad too
- Goes to fridge no salad is made, so apologizes and goes to make salad
- Up walks another young boy (all of maybe 22) tall, cutie messy spikey black hair, oh nice eyes, he apologizes and says it is his fault he did not make the salad
- I reassure it is OK how hard is it to make a salad, but hey "Do I get a discount for the wait?"
- "No" cute boy with nice eyes says "but I can give you some extra dressing"
- Oh don't go through all that trouble just get my salad so I can go
- salad is made and as promised I see tall, cutie messy spikey black hair, oh nice eyes young boy put extra dressing in the bag, close bag turns to the corner and assures me to "Have a nice night"
- Me turning to leave with pizza, pop, and SALAD in hand look at bag and see this...................Yeha that's right Josh (cutie with spikey black messy hair and nice eyes)
Thanks for the number ;)
I am now a branded woman UH_HUH - official MILF!

Next time if I have that delivered do you suppose it will play out the same as my pizza delivery boy fantasy??

All in the Family

I live quite far from my family so when there are get togethers I try to see everyone while on the west side of town. This weekend was packed with two birthday parties one each day. That means loads of family time, dirt and gossip. As I drove over an hour to get home yesterday (like a bat out of hell mind you) I had time to think of the crazy shit my family does. Now don't get me wrong I love them all to death and would do anything for them. But I swear I was adopted or was switched at birth because they are all on the pot.(figuratively speaking)! Top 10 quirks about my family and believe me there is more, but to protect the innocent (until proven guilty) names are not used, and these may or may not be in any particular order.
10.) When one member throws a party the other should not decide to do another party the next day for tension between the two parties is so uncomfortable that not even a knife or macheti will cut through it.
9.) The baby is like crack, or something that they haven't had in awhile, my child was tossed around more than a salad at a busy resturant. She really is content playing on her blanket with her toys. Why is she cranky you ask? really it isn't the fact you are trying to smoother her, or perhaps you already know assuming tired or teething, yeha..
8.) Just pulling up to the house and trying to unload your car while members you haven't seen in awhile load your car with things they have picked up in the past months, like a plastic slide, a foldable picnic table, baby doll stroller, and unwanted stuffed toys. Thanks now where will the baby be sitting on the way home and no I will not tie the molded pool to the roof and drive it around for the next two days, I will have to get that from you later.
7.) If you are going to smoke do it while the children are not in the area and opening presents. The surgeon general has proved that smoking does cause cancer and children of a small age develop infections while exposed to second hand smoke, just because you are out side does not mean they are not in contact with your cigarette.
6.) I am not the interpreter for all agruments or differences between two parties, can't we all just get along? I don't want to hear about the snide remark you have about him/her and no I am not going to elborate or fuel your fire. We are family no one is out to get you.
5.) Trying to convince me to take my baby home for the night is out of the question for me right now I have a responsiblity to her, stop pressuring me or making me feel guilty.
4.) A baby under 12 months of age does not need to taste the frosting off your finger, or have a pretzal twist to chew on.....Thank you....RRRRRRR!
3.) No it is not funny to crumble up the wrapping paper and whip it at the head of the nearest cousin, it only encourages the adults of the family to do the same.
2.) The kiddie pool is for the small children not for the older kids to dive in while being tossed a football and leaning on the sides to let the water out.
1.) Grandma is the keeper of all prescription drugs and knows the pharmacist by name and takes 36 pills a day and complains that the doctor wants to put her on blood pressure medicine and is upset because she doesn't know why her stomach hurts so much.
This is just from the weekend, imagine if I lived within a 5 mile radius I would have to make damn sure there was a bar at the corner. We did have a good time it was just a lonnnnggggg two days. By the time I got home and unloaded the car, fed the baby dinner, gave her a bath, and sat down we fell asleep on the couch by 7:35pm. Which was the best part of the weekend appreciating that it was peace and quiet and being snuggled by my baby and her looking up at me to make sure it was still me holding her.

Is it time yet?

As I get more settled into a routine. I find myself wanting to venture out more. Now that I know Morgan goes to bed by 7-8pm it gives me more time to think, no I don't leave the house to venture. I think of me and step back and look around at what I have done and what I am going through and frankly the whole thing scares the shit out of me. Holy crap I am a single mom who is in desperate need of a wardrobe make-over and some highlights, because the whole natural hair color thing is not working out for me like it did in my 20's. I have gray (yes gray) peppered all in the front and sides of my head! Good Lord what did I do to deserve this too!
But materialistic things aside, I have considered trying an on-line dating service. For mental mind and maybe incentive to start working out for the body. Part of me feels that I am just not ready to venture into a realationship of serious proportions but it might be nice to have a man to talk to. Now I have not been on the scene for a long time.....and not sure if it is really the right time now?? Some advice from you may help in making my decision. Or maybe some of you might have a single male friend you would like to send my way. A mature man who does NOT spend most of his time on the baseball diamonds, watching hours ESPN, or has more than a dozen prono tapes. Someone who is compassionate, kind, loyal, funny, charming, sensible, has his own car, and cute. Is that asking to much? well that is just for starters I am sure I am missing a few qualities but I can always make them up as I go, hey womans prerogative! Someone who looks kinda like my pretend celebrity boyfriend would be great....... Thanks :PAnd this wouldn't be bad either................................

You wanted to smell my laundry

Here it is the moment you have all been waiting for a good dose of what the hell more can I do. I could say my life has been busy the last week but that would be an understatment. I am busier than a one arm coat rack on the warmest day of the year!(don't ask me it is an expression I heard some time ago and thought I might use it)
So I have been here there and everywhere and will continue to be for the remainder of the month because you think I would learn to say no after having a baby and spend more time relaxing at home, but that is no fun.
We participated on saturday in the 5 mile walk for Susan G Komen and women who are haunted by breast cancer, and will join the American Cancer Society in the fall for the same cause, come join us. I want to give back to my dear aunt for her stuggle and celebrate her 5 years in remission, mmmwwwwaaa, LOVE YA!
Then of course sunday was Fathers Day! I made plans with my father to take him to church (something he never does, and almost thought he would come down with some illness when I got to his house to pick him up) but he went and enjoyed himself. The church I attend is very unique in the sense that the entertainment value alone makes you want to come back for more and learn what it means to have a realtionship with God. They pride themselves on bringing scripture to the young middle age generation in ways we understand and can relate to and I have found it to be so inspiring to be a part of, and enjoy it when I can bring others with me to share the message. But enough about the preaching, come back I didn't mean to scare you into thinking I wasn't going to give you any juicy dirt. After church we went to breakfast/lunch and on the way back to my fathers house while we were all in the car, nothing says put me on the spot like father says "Did I do ok for you and your brother?" in a car full of step-mom, step-sister, my daugther, my dad and me. Mind you my parents divorced when I was 5, and my dad was a every other weekend kind of guy. Heavy smoker, work alcholic never had to many heart to heart conversations but you knew he loved you kind of guy. So while the spot light was burning my eyes I simply said "you did the best you could". I hope he was not offended but my realtionship I feel could have been stronger give a little more effort if someone would have taught him how. No hard feelings but as I am now older and seen different realtionships with other families I know Morgan will not be raised the way I was, I want her and I to have a more open realtionship with more communication. Simple as that, after all I have two positions to fill since her father in absent most days.
Off to the next venue, My in-laws were enjoying sometime at the pool so we paid our respect to my father in-law who is an awesome man, and who I can't say enough praise about, and wish my father was just as great but we all have our difference. He was happy to see his grand-baby, the in-laws love her so much I think they may just swallow her one day! After spending time in the hot sun we were fully spent and went home to crash.
Where is the SD you ask? well he did not find time to see his father, a phone call was all he made. Which saddens me because his family has done more than their share to make his life full. So it should not have been a suprise to me that he did not make plans with his own daugther. Instead he was out on a boat with some friends and his soul mate. His excuse of course was she is to young she won't know the difference, and because I didn't answer his phone call in the morning because I was at church he made other plans. Yep all my fault except NOT!
That is the dirt for now I have to get some work done. Till next time!

This is the part where I poke my eye out.

Work has been slow lately, for me anyway. I have things to do just not things I want to do. The hours seem like days and when a task comes along that requires little or no effort I milk it for every minute I can. How can I stop this cycle without asking for more responsibility, and biting myself in my own ass and not be able to handle it when work picks up again??!!

In the meantime I have created a pictures file of Morgan and she is now a slide show at my computer desk, with the exception of a few photos of my nephew who has the cutest darn smile I could not resist adding him in the collection too. I mean just look a the little whipper snapper!!
I was going to create a post about my "up-north" trip to northern MI but there are photos I wanted to include and they have not been downloaded yet.
I guess it just isn't work that is plan out dull for me it is just life in general. Without sounding like Eeyore, I need a little kick. Maybe I should create one of those personal pages on myspace and try to conjore up more friends, but that would require some actual invitation that sounds as if I would be a person of interest to hang out with and frankly I just don't have the energy for it right now. OoooHoooo bother........
So welcome to the post of a hundred **sighs**
Say what time is it now??? Yep still have to pretend I like what I am doing right now, oh the phone wonder who that could be....perhaps they would like to carry on a conversation that requires a little more than a comment on the beautiful weather we are having.
Please forgive me I am sure tomorrow will be better, till then does this place have a bar?

I have been BITTEN!

This could be trouble people, finally a fashion line that is affordable and cute!!! Sarah Jessica Parker loved her in Sex and the City with her fashion forte' has now created a clothing line called BITTEN. You can find BITTEN at Steve & Barry's Sportwear stores. This is why it is so dangerous people, they just opened a Steve & Barry's in the mall around the corner from work. So I spent my lunch 1/2 hour trying to decide which top I liked best and trying on shoes, and unlucky for me my lunch is only 1/2 hour or I would have bought jeans, and a cute black dress, a new jean jacket, and please stop me..................or not I don't have to spend my whole paycheck buying a new outfit. All the items in the BITTEN line are under $20!! YES $20!! shoes $9.98! fashion t-shirts $7.98, cute little black dress $14.98!! I bought in just a 1/2 hour a black skirt, shoes, and 4 shirts for $54! I still have money for formula and diapers and a new dress for Morgan!!!

Thanks SJP! Who knew BITTEN could feel so good!!!! Because SJP says so!! Peace OUT.

Speedy Rewards

So I am part of the Speedy Rewards club at the local gas station. Now before you get all jealous and stuff because it doesn't take much to become a member there is no crazy password to remember or even an initiation of running around the station three times with your hands in the air screaming "I want to be part of your club"!! (Whatever just trying to humor all of you) Just a simple information application and your on your way "the convinent stores of Speedway"(to be sung in a jingle type of tone), along with your info you get one of those fancy tags with a bar-code on the back to attach to your key ring, just so you know I belong to more than one club I have more tags than keys, tags include Kroger, PetSmart, Progressive, Borders, and my fav DSW Shoes(which doesn't get as much activity as I would like). Back to my rewards so I am on a cappucino 3/4 fill with a 1/4 top off of Jamacian roasted coffee KICK-YUM! Could explain the extra dimples on my dairy-heir as of late. Moving on....part of the rewards is to buy 5 cups of coffee or cappucino and get your 6 cup FREE! It is a happy day when I get that coupon on the day of cup 5! The other morning I get my coffee as usual and walk out, I get almost to my car then run back in to make sure my free coupon had spit out. Well wouldn't you know the woman in line behind me tried to snatch up MY free cup! I politely ask the cashier if I had a free coupon she did not know but the woman at the counter said "yes you did" and slides the coupon over to me as if she was caught in the act. That is right step off beatch single mom on a budget don't play when it comes to a free cup of cappucino!! Now I know how I was jipped out of the last free cup! someone with sticky fingers took my coupon last time too. Get your own rewards people. It's free!

What would you do?

Since most of the prime-time television season has come to a close with season finales, I have found time to catch up on random shows that I have recorded in the past six months. One in particular is Primtime the news show on ABC they had a special edition called Basic Instincts, there was 5 or 6 I recorded but the last one I watched was Turning the Tables. They taped actors and actress in a crowded park fighting and yelling in what was to be a "heated argument" and wondered what people who were passing by would do to help the person who was being threatened. I guess I was not surprised when many people passed by and seemed to ignore what they were seeing. Which reminded me of something that I had seen happen the day before while walking into a Wal-mart.
Saturday afternoon as I was walking in the parking lot and watching the smile on my daugthers face as she looked up at me in delight as I was looking down on her to tell her we were going shoppin'!! We were interupted by a woman coming out of the Wal-mart. This woman in her 60's began yelling at her 2 yr old grandson, for what reason I could not point out other than being 2 and not wanting to be drug around by his arm. This scene diturbed me to the point where I stopped and wanted to turn and say something to the woman, but I frooze.......I do not know what to say other than is it really necessary for you to use that tone of voice at such a young person who probably doesn't know why you are treating him the way that you are in the first place?! Could I have made a difference in that small childs life by saying something? The small butterfly in my stomach says "yes you could have". I mean the woman was yelling "GET UP GRAMMA IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE" and in her fit of frustration was swinging her other arm in an attempt to swat his butt, all the while the little boy was whining as if he had enough and had no other way to express himself. I felt so helpless at that point and so as not to upset my baby (because I seen the look on her face of being scared of the womans voice) I quickly went into the store. There were other people around too, it was a busy weekend afternoon, and no-one stopped to say anything! What would you have done? I mean this was an innocent child who was lashing out obviously becuase he has not been taught the proper way, and by a grandmother who should have known better.
It really bothered me and it made me hold my baby a little tighter and give her one more kiss as if she can't get anymore, because I don't ever want her to feel threatened.
The next time I may just take that extra step and say something and hope that postively the person will get the hint and realize what an ass they look like threatening a small helpless child!! I don't want to be the majority who turns their head to ignore the situation.

Drive-Off?

I think I may have commited my first crime without even knowing it....It was not intentional by no means I am not that type of person. I swiped my card, I swear. After reviewing my bank statement this morning the gas fill-up I made 3 days ago has not went through to my bank.

So does that mean I drove-off without paying??? and no-one came after me?

Or could it be an apoligy from the station for not having receipt paper at the pump? If that is the case Thank You!
