BFF DAY
I have told you about the Frat Pack, and this week, I have started a book of all the weird shit they say. I would tell you, but it will make NO SENSE to you. My team is wonderful. I bought them championship wrestling belts for our monthly contest trophies. I have never seen a bunch of 20/30 something men get so excited for something. It was really great.
The new guy is still an ass. There is just something about this guy that rubs me the complete wrong way. I have been working on not being such a bitch (i don't know if its working or not) and it is REALLY hard not to go mid-evil on this guy. He is the guy that knows everything, even though everything he knows is wrong. and every time I see him, I want to punch him in the face. Which is not conducive to a happy healthy work environment. So I keep my mouth shut, and bitch about him in the car on the way home.
I got business cards today. I am SO COOL right now. I have never had business cards before. I can hand out business cards. I think I'll bring them to BFF day, and I will just pass them out to all strangers I see. How cool am I right now? The Coolest Baby, YEaH.
Oh, Life is good.

It's been too long
Monday (a couple weeks ago): My boss picks me up for work. We are driving her husbands Lexus because her car needed a tire fixed. So, we get almost to work, and there is a loud boom. We pull over on the shoulder, The back tire on the passenger side has blown. Fuck. Now, we're stranded in rush hour traffic. YAY AAA. So, we wait. An hour passes, the truck comes. It is too dangerous for us to get out of the car. So, up we go, onto the flat bed, in the car. Driver says: Just put the car in park, and put the e-brake on, you'll be fine. We disagree, but buckle up and hang on. And ride, on the flat bed, the five miles down the freeway to the dealership. It was terrifying. However, the Lexus dealership was like a gentleman's club. There was free Lattes, muffins, Lexus bottled water, and pastries. Flat screen TVs (Multiple, i counted at least 4), a full service restaurant, a merchandise store, a shoe shine, desks, couches, theatre seats (all fine, expensive furniture) a separate kids room with an XBox360 and toys. All in all not a bad way to spend an hour waiting for a tire to be fixed, and to make sure there was no other damage. In the end, everything was fine, and they washed the car to boot. We got in the car, looked at each other, and went promptly home.
A few days later, I got chased down by a taxi. I was waiting to cross the street, and was wearing a dress. Now, I am not a beautiful woman, but I am not horrid, but I don't usually wear dresses. but I was waiting to cross the street, and heard a horn honk. Working in the city, I didn't think much of it, and crossed the street. Then as I was waiting to cross again, I hear, HEY HEY. And the taxi I had noticed early drove by again, this time, frantically waving and saying Hi. I gave him a look like uh, ooooooook...... and a half wave. I continued walking the block to the mall. THEN, he pulled up next to me and paced me almost the entire block. Begging me to get into his cab, promising a free ride. Now, he totally didn't know the safety word, and he didn't have any candy. So fuck him, I'm not getting in. He finally got that I wasn't getting in the taxi and sped off. I still don't know whether to be flattered, or skeezed out. I choose skeezed. But, as the "personality" friend, I am used to strangers coming up and talking to my and my friends (I hang out with incredibly beautiful women) but when it happens to me, I am always thrown for a loop. And this guy was fuckin weird, and not even hot.
Then came Easter. I got into a huge fight with the evil stepmother, but I wont get into that, because I am still super bitter, and I can not say anything nice about her at all.
The Twins are being superhero's One is Superman, Two is Batman. I am Wonder woman. Dad is Lobo (who apparently is Superman's bad guy). It's almost all we ever play anymore.
I have started a book of the weird/random/funny shit that the Frat Pack say. They are so funny! I don't even know what to say about them, but I'll have more later. The youngest one just got back from Hawaii and we are all a little jealous today. But, its nice to have him back. Too much work has gotten done without him. I am so lucky. I have the best team at the best job ever. But there is this new guy, and he works on a different team, and this morning he was over here training with one of my guys. And he was telling my guy what to do, and it totally was not OK, and it took everything in my power not to go all Momma Bear on the new guy.
Dear New Guy, You got lucky today, but talk to my team mate like that again, and you wont have an ass to sit on. Got it? He is training YOU not the other fucking way around.
I am excited for a competition tomorrow. I'll write more later. I am kid free tonight as the kids are going to the mother in law's. They love going to her house, and I think that if they had a choice, they may actually leave me for her. But, I am going to get rid of some of their toys.
I took some quizzes on Face book, to learn a little more about myself. I am apparently Sarcastic to the Extreme, Jesus thinks that I am a Selfish Bitch (which seemed to be the theme of Easter, so it must be true) And, I am Trailer Trash Barbie.
I am such a treasure. Good thing I am pretty comfortable with myself. But really, I knew I was a bitch. Its not a secret. I don't try to hide it, and I knew that WAAAAAY before you did. I also corrupt people, but I would like to point out, I do cool shit, and if people want to hang out with me, that is their choice. I never make anyone do anything they don't want to do..... unless it benefits me in some way.
You don't like it, you don't have to talk to me :)
Good luck tomorrow Ryan, I'll see you tomorrow..... The Emerald Cup will not know what hit it... You are comin.......

A letter to Ryan.
Dearest Ryan,
Thank you. We have been friends for about a year now, and I already can not imagine my life without you in it. You are so beautiful inside and out. I am so blessed to be able to call you my friend. You have single handedly made me a better person. You have broadened my horizons by leaps and bounds. Because of you, I have gotten through some tough times. Because of you, I have laughed so hard my co workers have questioned my sanity. Because of you, I have started blogging. Because of you, I have started reading different books, that I never would have thought I would enjoy. Because of you, I have stepped outside my box, and done things I would have never done, without your encouragement. Because of you, I have been emailed by a famous person, Because of you, I have questioned myself, and though to challenge myself more. Your amazing accomplishments make me so proud I almost feel like they are my accomplishments. You are something to be proud of, and I am proud to be able to say, "Hell YEAH, that girl, she is MY friend!" and people are jealous of me, because we are friends.
You are like an extension of me, and I am so lucky. I wish I could tell everyone how incredible you are. And since I am unable to tell each person of your incredible coolness, I am writing a blog about you.
This past year has been rough for you, and I am so sorry that you have been hurt. But, watching you overcome your challenges, each time getting stronger, and closer to yourself is really inspiring. You are one of the most amazing women I have ever met, and being a part of your story is just a blessing. I wish you would write about you. You are very interesting, and your insight on life would help many other people be better people. You deserve your own motivational poster.
Thank you for pushing me every day to be a better person. You are the perfect friend, and if I could bottle you and sell you, we would be millionaires. Maybe even billionaires.
I can not wait to see you in April, I have been counting down the days for like the last 6 months or something ridiculous like that.
I want you to know that I think you are one of the most incredible people in this whole world.
Thank you for being you
My Cup Runneth Over
With my love,
E
PS, I'm sure this doesn't make much sense, but, I am retarded, and you know that, so I'm not to worried.

A fly on the wall of my brain
My BFF has a running gag about fanny packs with her man. He jokes, she teases, and finally the roomie bought the BF a fanny pack as a joke. He immediatly calls my BFF and tells her.... Turns out, he likes it. Now, he wears it, and she is looking to invest in a helmut. Wont they be SOOO cute. ;)
I bought Anti-Viral Kleenex. It's like blowing your nose with anti-bacterial stuff. and it is TOTALLY AWESOME. The only shitty thing is that they smell funny. Which I guess is how you know they work. But they do have pretty blue dots all over them. and the Pink box really fits in with the decor of my cube. Which is the best one on the floor. I am so awesome.
I love XXX Vitamin water. I think that if I could drink just this every day, I would be the happiest girl alive. Actually, if regular water tasted like this, THEN i would be the happiest girl ever. Because I do drink it every day already. I have a button (which I collect) that says "I'll meet your xxxpectations" and it does. Oh, it does.
The boys I work with went to lunch yesterday, and told me that they would be in thier clubhouse if I needed them. Yup, they have a clubhouse. Girls are not invited. Boys (Insert head shake here) I just think, so this is what I have to look forward too. The 4 year olds I have now, will act the exact same when they are 24.
Speaking of 4 year olds. Yesterday, we hear this wierd noise from thier room. I go upstairs to investigate, and A is opening and closing the window, while standin on the heater. And B is standing on the guard rail on his bed, swinging from the string that makes the blinds go up and down. I say " What are you doing?" They say "Nothing!" I say "LIAR" I can SEE what you are doing! Come take a time out!" B responds with " NO, I dont want to take a time out."
I already know im in trouble. With attitude like that, we are totally gonna fight.
I have more to say, my ride is leaving. Stay tuned.... More tomorrow

Public Restrooms
As a general rule, I spend 40-50 hours a week here. And I HAVE to use the bathroom. But, because I am certifiably insane, I will only use one stall. I have been known to wait to use this stall. I also only use ONE bathroom. if I am on a different floor, I will return to MY stall. and because I have a fear of peeing in front of people (unless I am drunk, in which case I no longer give a fuck) I will wait until the people are gone until I go. (I also have a tendency to stop mid-stream if I hear someone come in)
Now, not as many people seem to care about this same privacy, there are some people who just do their business, and leave and that is that. I give these people mad props. And the ones who can take a shit, OH.MY.GOD. I am the first person to understand that when it comes it comes. However, I take even MORE precautions while dropping the Huxtables off in the pool, than I do to just urinate. But Whoa.
The other day, I was in the bathroom, doin my thing, tryin not to make any noise, when I hear some very large farts. Now, as I am the only girl of my family of 2 boys, one Manboy, and a boy dog, I am not a virgin to these sounds. But, I can feel the sonic waves coming off them while I'm in the stall 2 down, it is REALLY hard not to laugh, and be disgusted. So I of course start gaggin and laughing. Luckily I have enough manners to keep the sounds of laughter and vomit to myself. But Whoa Man, talk about throwing caution to the wind. I was in my stall, tryin to compose myself and deciding if I needed to prepare myself for someone to jump out, and tell me I was on candid camera or punked or something. Then, I hear the toilet flush, having composed myself, I immediately walk out there, because I want to see the look on their face when I come out of the stall all Ninja like. I would be SO embarrassed, and I blush real easy, at pretty much anything. But No, I get NO REACTION from this person. NONE. They weren't even slightly embarrassed at the fact that they had almost killed me with fart waves. Such a better girl than I.
Apparently payback is a bitch, because I had an emergency today, where i had to go, and couldn't have stopped it if I tried. And I was tryin to take a super quiet shit, and had been really successful and more importantly ALONE, when in walks someone. And then I farted. And It was so loud I think the MEN could hear it in their restroom. Thankfully they didn't laugh, but, it was someone I know. Which is so much worse.
From now on, I will hold it.
On another note: Happy St Patricks Day.
And I get to go have dinner with most of my Fave people. Here I come BOOKSTORE And then it's early to bed. Still no W/D and no heat, but they did come and sand the whole hole and patch half of it. Progress in babysteps I guess. OH and,they are letting us use the w/d in the newly vacated apt next door..... Now if only we could talk them into letting us MOVE there.......
Peace out Y'all

I need a helmet to protect me from myself.....
Wanna know what I did today, I twisted my ankle while sitting down. Not that I was already sitting down, but I was hovering in the air on the way ass to seat, and then.....
PIMP DOWN PIMP DOWN
which of course is followed by a string of not appropriate curse words, VERY LOUD, in my office. Luckily the office is pretty empty by now. (This was at just barely 430, and the people in my group leave by 4)
I read "Bright Lights, Big Ass" this weekend, it was just as good as the other 2 Jen Lancaster memoirs. She is amazingly funny! And it is a joy to be a fly on the wall of her head. And She is coming to my bookstore in a couple months, and this month is Heather Armstrong of Dooce fame. I'm so going. Love that blog, and I m sure her book will be just as good. Oh And I had read Chelsea Handler Thursday night... Did I tell you about that.... "My Horizontal Life" I love a girl who spills her guts about sex. Because really, my life was like that too, and I am sure I have fucked around with just as many men as her, and really, I don't think ALL girls are as much of a slut as I used to be, but seriously, we are NOT as prudish as the word "girl" implies.
I am so going home and mainlining some BH90210, while in bed. That will DEF put me in a better mood.

Peace out Bitches, I'm going home

TGIF the 13th
Good things happened at work today. The Complainer. I work with a woman who complains all the time. And the thing is, she is very nice. But, she annoys the SHIT out of me, because she bitches ALL THE TIME. If its not about my (very deep) cough, its her health, our clients, retarded people, the dark, the light, whatever, whenever. It's enough to make the bitch in me come out full force. Now, I will admit freely. I am not a nice girl, I am a Bitch. I know this, everyone who knows me knows this. NOT a secret. But, at work, I do try to keep myself under control because I want to keep my job, and I make people cry. But today, I got FANTASTIC NEWS. She moved desks. So now, we can be nice, and I don't have to listen to her all day. This is like the ultimate dream come true for me. Because really if i had to listen to her try to convince her Dr that she IS actually sick, I may have gone over and licked her phone or something to REALLY give her something to complain about. {Insert Satisfied sigh here}
Today is Friday the 13th. A good day for me, Fridays that happen to land on the 13th, are never bad luck, and always pretty good days. I am ready to go home though. I am starting to get headachey, and that is never good. Hopefully I can find some pain pills this weekend, and then everything will be much better.
The boys are talking about starting some sort of inter-office gambling thing. I wish I understood so I can play too. But I'll learn. Anyways, I think the boys are finally starting to see my complete awesomeness. I'm surprised it took so long, but, I tend to stick to myself here, I don't like strangers.
Know what i hate, when you cough, and farts come out. There is absolutely nothing you can do to prevent it from happening
The Twins get to see 2 sets of grandparents this weekend. They are the most spoiled babies ever. It's a good thing they're cute.
Time to go, I'm hungry.
Oh PS: I read "My Horizontal Life" by Chealsea Handler last night. VERY good, Highly recommended. A nice easy read, that is very humorous. And Very true. I know plenty of girls (myself included) who can relate to this book!

Slumdog Middle Class
Anyways, after 3 months of calling and asking and begging for someone to come fix it.... I asked Jon to call the Slumlord and tell him that we were using our rent to pay for someone to come fix our house. AND we were also going to file a complaint with the Tenants Union. Amazingly, we IMMEDIATELY received a call back, and yesterday, we had someone over to start the repairs.
OK, I need coffee and some of the free food that they are giving away in the lobby of my building. This fat girl NEVER turns down free food. So, I'll be right back, don't go away.....
OK, now.... I got the hole fixed. Which Immediately made my house warmer. AMAZING! And they say they are coming back on Friday, with a NEW WASHER AND DRYER!! and they are also going to find out what is wrong with my heater, and they are going to fix the garbage disposal.
Shit like this makes me SO GLAD that I have a landlord. Even though I have a slumlord, i LOVE my house, and I am super glad that I am there. But seriously, who knew you could be middle class and live in a slum. I always thought you had to be poor. You don't. Just pick a poor place to live. So here is my helpful hint. Talk to the tenants BEFORE you move into a place.
On to my Dog. I have a little scavenger dog. His name is Taco, and he will eat anything he can get his teeth on. Last night, we dumped out his crate, and hidden in his bed he had:
- an empty shampoo packet (like the ones you get in the mail and shit)
- a sock
- numerous shredded used paper towels he kyped from the garbage
- a q-tip
- stuffing from his duck
- an empty fruit snack package
He also LOVES fruit snacks. I don't understand. But, I'll keep you updated on the strange shit my dog eats.
Oh, and I cleaned the BackYarden (twinspeak for Back Yard) and watched 90210. Now, I follow the new one too, but, I recently switched my TV package and now I get the Soap channel. which means I get 2 90210's a day. Thank god for DVR, I may never watch live TV again.
Life is good. More later.

Monday Morning Embarassment
First of all its FUCKING SNOWING. I am over it. Seattle doesn't snow anymore. It did when I was a child, and then it stopped for a long time. And now all the sudden, It snows here again. And the thing is, this stupid city is not built for snow, so everyone gets all retarded and shuts down. uggh. BOO ON SNOW
Second, I completely embarrassed myself, because I sent a link to my blog to like my fave blogger ever. And THEN i realized I talked about her in a previous blog, and NOW I am doing it again.Hopefully she will be too busy to read this, but she responded to my email, so maybe she will, and then I am just embarrassing myself further. But whatever, I cant retract my email. I'll just have to live with my retardedness.
Third, Its snowing, I am wearing heeled sandals
Fourth, one of my twins told me yesterday that he thought my dogs little butt was very cute.
What do you say to that?
Fifth, I am not really wanting to work today, and I know I need to get my head in the game, but all I can think about is how I totally embarrassed myself, and now I am STILL embarrassing myself because I cant stop writing about how embarrassed I am. Jenny, if you read this, I am sorry I cant stop talking about you!
Sixth, My teen aged cousin got her money stolen by some friends. Teenagers are SO STUPID. and I am going to have 2 at some point. If I keep letting them drink coffee, and switch it from decaf to regular...... will that keep them from being teens?
ok ok, really I should work now. Nose to the grindstone, earn my check and all. My Co-workers are going to question my work ethic.
Fucking Pink Dolphins.

Things I learned today:
Things I have learned since 8 AM today:
- Once a Douchebag ALWAYS a douchebag
- Starbucks has MUCH better Sausage Egg McMuffin's than McDonald's does
- My stomach makes embarassingly loud noises while digesting said muffin (sounds like farts, completly not)
- Twitter is addicting, sorta like crack, but more time consuming
- I LOVE having a permanent job, at a company I love working for.
- My new badge doesnt have the stupid green box anymore
- Blogging is going to be a new habit
- The Bloggess is causes serious LOL's making my co-workers think I am batshit crazy (which I am, so I guess that is not a big deal)
- I hate my headaches
- My office is too damn cold!
- You can actually use the word PING incorrectly!! (see following conversation)
FRIEND: no one here uses the word "ping" correctly and it drives me bonkers
ME: like as in Ping me? or the golf brand? am I useing it wrong? what IS the correct way to use the word ping?
FRIEND: you're not. people HERE. it's either the golf brand. or Ping me
ME: so how can you use it incorrectly? I dont get it
FRIEND: "ping you a call back" Ping=email, correct?
ME: or IM
FRIEND: right. but you cannot ping someone a call back
esahul: no you could ping them later INSTEAD of a call back like as in "Bye Friend, Ping ya Later"
FRIEND: right
Now, I will admit to having horrid spelling and grammer. My friend on the other had, is perfect, so, any mistakes you see are mine.
Anyways, Life is good. Today I am happy.

Waiting Can literally Kill you.
oh well, at this point, if it gets me my letter, I'll email all damn day
today, i am tired. and i have a serious case of the Mondays. and a headache because I am super stressed.
1) I am waiting for that damn letter
2) My man and my step mother are fighting thru me again, and I hate it, and I now feel like I can not trust either of them. It kinda makes me want to cry.
3) I am still working on the DM at work, and I am going blind, and I feel like I am not doing enough
4) I just plain don't feel good
5) My headaches make me feel like even shittier than ever, AND I think they fuck with my hormones too, which makes me want to cry at commercials and YouTube video's and songs (I am so not normal)
So I guess today I am a little down in the dumps. Which as I write this makes me feel a little sad. I am going to go to bed early. Writing does make me feel better, I could just sit here all day and type all the shit that is running thru my head. IT would be the single most random blog post for a blog no one even knows exists. I bet it would be the longest too. Could you imagine getting the world record for longest post? Someone would try to beat me.
I miss 90210, i am excited for the new season of reaper. Stoked for the new AI this week. my head hurts so fucking bad.
OK back to it now. I would apologize for my randomness, but, that's how i like it

On Working with the Frat Pack......
I love it.
Since the Boys ignore me, I get to listen to all the shit they talk to each other. And its a lot. Today I heard "Who wants to juice this?" which i have learned (thanks to the youngest) that means to place a bet. Followed by a lengthy discussion about how not to bet on WA teams, and college basketball is the only basketball worth betting on.
I also heard MANY Simpson's references. And the thing is, its kinda like being in a zoo. One starts, the rest follow. Men amaze me.
Then there was the begging of the territories. The Baby, i think is feeling like he is running out of chances to get some points, and spent a good hour today... BEGGING and telling, and asking people who don't really make that decision for one of the other Pack members states. Of course he said no, but the begging continued for quite awhile. Followed by a few choice insults.
I love working with these Men. I wouldn't change it for the world. They are hysterical, and an endless sort of amusement for me. And the best part is, they all take all the shit I talk in stride. I am being a bitch, they think i am funny.
Life is good. Now I pack up the I-Pod, and get ready to go home. The ride home should be pleasant as it is still light out, and sunny today, and I carpool with my (female) boss whom I love, and love to ride home with her!! (and i feel like I can type that without brown-nosing, because at the time of this post, only one other person besides me, even know this blog exists)

It's my Val-a-versary
So we spent the 14th at Skateboard park (we, like most other parents, call the neighborhood parks by the major feature that attracts us to that park) and we were playin with the kids on the Merry-Go-Round. This is like the only park around that still has one of these fantastical metal spinning disks of child flinging fun. and of course, my twins LOVE this. We have devised a safe way to ride that eliminates the small children from flying off. However, there are not the same rules for the adults. Jon had been making the kids nice a dizzy (once they are really good and dizzy, we make them get off and watch them stumble like they are drunk and then laugh and laugh. Being a parent is so much fun) and tryin to be the hip young dad, jumps off. He then blew out his knee. Yes. I said it. He blew out his knee jumping off the merry go round, at the park, with the kids. At least he is much less of a baby than me.
The next day (The Anniversary) Jon slept in, and the kids and I walked to the store and got an Italian soda (Popsicle Coffee, in Twinspeak) and then we shipped the kids off to Moms. Since the knee kinda fucked up our non-plans, we ended up getting take-out, played some more Fable, and then watched Pineapple Express.
I am relatively new to video games, but Jon LOVES them. He is a gamer. And he has gotten me playing Fable 2. This game is loads of fun. I guess after 3 years, I am starting to enjoy the games too. I am starting to get them. Even though I will not play without him in the room in case some super bad guys come and I get too frustrated. But man oh man, I will admit it. Xbox360 is fun.
Pineapple express was really funny. Seth Rogan interrogated someone with a cactus.
Other Random notes Friday, I FINALLY got my eyebrows done, and Sunday I dyed my hair a fabulous purple/black color. It looks like Black Cherry Kool-Aid. And I LOVE it.
Alrighty, lunch is over, and now its back to work. Today, life is good, even though I am the only one of my friends that has to work today.
