please stop this ride

I's like to get off now. Really...like right now. I spent a good part of the morning on worry status because I didn't get an email from my husby. Before you pass judgement and classify me as a psycho bitch, let me explain why these morning emails are important.

Byron and I both work about 45 miles away from our home, which means that we average about an hour and a half on the road every morning. Byron also drives a vehicle that is older than 10 years and has had some trouble with it. Because I'm not officially his wife, I'm not considered next of kin and if something were to happen to him...it would be a while before I'd find out.

After the 50th time trying to call his office phone, he finally answers. I'm relieved and pissed at the same time. There is just entirely too much going on in my life right now and SATURDAY can't come soon enough. If you haven't responded, do it now bitches.

will and grace

I hear it's the last season...would anyone like to confirm? I thought it was supposed to premiere last night...NOPE! Unless it's on a different night and I did not get that memo. The DVDs definitely go on my "must buy" list. I love it because it reminds me of my most favorite homosexual on earth...

I watched that hour long special on Lifetime and I almost peed in my pants from laughing so hard..."Denied...denied...Approved. Good times. I love TV.

I also caught the premiere of "Everybody Hates Chris." My advice to you all: Watch it. Seriously. It's pretty effin' funny. If you are so inclined to continue to watch something else afterward Love, Inc. ain't that bad either. It's one of those guilty pleasure shows.

soy un perdador

I guess the correct way in Spanish should be the feminine way (seeing as how I am a woman, at least, last time I checked I was). So...soy una perdadora whatever, I'm still a loser because I spend my time on the internet surfing and looking at things that more or less make me stupider than when I was puffin' the cheeba back in the day. Snooch.

After being acosted several times by a friend's man at Byron's weekly softball game, I learned some disturbing news about my dear ex. Before I delve in, I'd like to say that my ex and I have a very good relationship, no hard feelings and he is invited to our wedding. In fact, I got his RSVP for him and is current GF (also my friend) which is more than I can say about SOME people...but whatevs...that's not the flavor right now. Anywho, I come to find out that he doesn't have very many fans and by his behavior was looking to get an ass-whoopin' by none other than...one of Byron's softball teammates.

I can see how he could rub people the wrong way and be a jerk, but I guess this was something that I didn't need to know about him. Not that it'll change our relationship in anyway...but it just kinda sucks to know that someone you loved (and actually still do, but in that friend way) wasn't all that they had seemed.

dyslexia

As brilliant as I may seem, I think that I have may have a mild case of dyslexia.

I smashed my finger in the garage door.
Me: "Oh my, my finger is turning purple."
Ralph: "What happened?"
Me: "I just smashed my finger in the door."
Ralph: "Dude, are you that drunk?"
Me: "Apparently..."

Clearly, I should not be opening and closing doors after a couple of glasses of wine.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Thank you all for the birthday love!

scary

Brit and Kev welcome baby boy.

God help us all.

hair today, gone tomorrow

I don't know if it's stress or weather related, but my hair is falling out.

I'm hoping that it's a combination of both and that it ends in the near future because I'd like to have some hair left for the wedding. So to counter, I've been drinking 2 glasses of milk a day AND taking a multi-vitamin. I'm not taking any chances.

weekend update

I just realized that the next 3 weekends (or Saturdays at least) are booked. Man...I don't have time for anything it seems! This weeked was especially eventful, with both mom's birthdays, a night at Saddle Rack and engagement photos!

Saturday: San Jose for Mom Evangelista's birthday. It was more like just eating lunch with her because she had to get ready for those dinner/dances they always go to! Walked around Eastridge mall to see the renovations and was kind of impressed! Headed over to Fremont for line dancing and mechanical bull action...nice.

Sunday: Union City for Mom Soria's birthday. Saw my brother (who I hardly ever see) and the kiddies which is always a good time. My cousin and his kids came by but only as wee were leaving so I was kinda bummed about that. Engagement pics taken at MH and I had a smashing good time! I can't wait to see them!

*sigh* Back to work...

hair did

I have an appointment for some highlights and a cut in about 3 hours. Whoopie! I'm so not feeling work at the moment, although I know that there are some things that I need to do. I was so busy over the past couple of days that I think this is my brains way of telling me "Enough Already!"

Or maybe I'm just a lazy person. I've always suspected that.

This hair appointment couldn't have come at a better time because I'm having a craptacular hair day. I must look so whacktified* right now. I'm not sure if I want to cut my bangs again or make them thicker...how risky I'm being with less than 2 months from the big day.

I've had much on my mind lately...not all bad, but not all good. Some wedding related, most non-wedding related. You know that feeling when you're taking a long road trip and you're about 1 hour from your destination? That 1 hour seems like F-O-R-E-V-E-R. That's what I feel like.

If I could only get those voices to quiet down so I can clear my head. jk. They only speak when they are spoken to.

*this word I made up as I was typing. please use it sparingly.

wednesday already?

I just got a message from a customer about one of our agents and they are "unsatisfied" by the claims handling process and want to talk to my boss. It makes me angry. I guess it's because I was in a claims office and know how it goes. You can't force people to talk to you or force the police department to send you a report. People just don't get that...and even if you do tell them, they for some reason think the world revolves around them and that gives them the right to treat people like shit. Customer service my ass...under normal circumstances, are you supposed to take that from a person? I mean, am I really supposed to have someone yell at me, make me feel like I'm about 7 inches tall and take this with a smile? FUCK THAT. You don't know shit about me. I'm like you, tryin' to make a dollar out of 15 cents with this piece of shit job. This whole "the customer is always right" is straight bullshit...yet I manage to get into jobs where I have to have some sort of expertise on this. Ugh.

Luckily, I'm not in claimsland anymore. I used to think that I wanted to be an insurance agent, but if I gotta deal with people like that on a daily basis...no thanks. The plan is to still get my insurance licenses before the end of 2006 so at least I have that to fall back on...I'm starting to also consider getting licensed in event coordination. Who knows...the possibilities are endless.

2 months!

Holy Mother of Crap...September is finally here! 9 days 'til my birthday!

Went to 2 weddings in the same day on Saturday...and could they be any farther away from each other? MAN! Drove to SF for to see Mr & Mrs Bustos amke it legal under God's eyes, then hauled ass to Modesto for C-lo & Steph's reception. Both events were like UCSB KP reunions...it was awesome.

Some highlights from Jenn's wedding: Jenn's BEAUTIFUL dress (it was worth all the drama, she looked GORGEOUS), CherILL's hair (couldn't really picture it any other way), bums in the church (homeless people can enjoy weddings too), CherILL handing Jenn some pills to pop after the ceremony (Byron said, "Dang, getting the party started already?"), seeing my girls all pretty...I wish there was 2 of me and Byron so we could have gone to both receptions...

Some highlights from C-Lo's wedding: Open bar & 2 bottles of wine at the table (hell fucking yeah), Seeing old bandmates (go C4S), seeing Miss Kini and E-Fresh , dancing w/ Babe and the kiddies, Money dance w/ C-Lo (and the Filipino mafia aka KP Joe & Gabe "escorting" me away after 10 seconds of dancing...WTF?). Just drunk stupid retardedness the whole night leading to me face down and passed out next to my niece (such a good example I am) and a mild case of alcohol poisoning the next day...good times.

"YES! FINALLY...CSUH is outnumbered by UCSB!"

4 day weekend

Today is my Friday...HAHA bitches! I get 4 days off! I heard a funny joke today on the radio, stop reading if you've heard this one...

Two guys were drinking at a bar on the top floor of a hotel. One decides to challenge the other to jump out the window because drunk guys are stupid like that. Anyway, the first guy says to the second guy, "Dude, I dare you to jump." The second guy, who is clearly smarter than the first says, "No way man...we're on the top floor!" The first guy is insistant, "Check it out...it's super windy, so if you jump out, then the wind will just blow you back in." Still skeptical, the second guy declines. The first guy says, "Look, I'll do it and you'll see."

The first guy jumps out the window and low and behold comes right back in. "See?" he says. With a sudden surge of confidence, the second guy puts his drink down, steps back for a running start, then proceeds to swan dive and plunge to his death. The first guy picks up the second guy's drink and walks back to the bar.

The bartender says to the first guy, "Superman, you're such a fucking jerk when you're drunk."

Only 15 shopping days 'til my birthday!
