| What’s Next? |
I can't believe that it's come to this, what kind of world do we live in where someone's vehicle isn't even safe at their place of employment. We're not talking about someone keying my car, or even putting dents in it . . . in my opinion it's much worse.
At first I didn't want to believe it, I thought it was just an oddity when one disappeared but yesterday when I went out to my car the second one was gone. And I know for a fact that it was there that morning. I was good with this car, my last car I think just had the perfect number of them. One more would have been too much, but my Mazda and I weren't meant to be. So I toned it down with my Mitsubishi, just two with a possible third to come and now . . . now I have none . . . it's heart breaking.
WHAT KIND OF SOUL-LESS BASTARDS GO AROUND STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S STICKERS!!!!! I love my car stickers, each having gone thru a selective process before being purchased. My car is naked now . . . next thing you know they'll take my Minnie Mouse Antenna ball.
It makes no sense, it's not like you can re-stick a sticker that's been on a car for like 5 months. Though I feel bad for saying this I have to admit I was impressed with the skill, it looks like both were taken off in one solid piece not a single scrap on my window.
After I replace my stickers, which means I have to wash my car I guess I'll have to park it in a more visible spot then the back of the office. Oh how I'd love to catch the punks responsible for taking my cute beloved stickers . . . the bastards.Labels: Rant |

| What’s your Flavor? |
Mmmm . . . Chips
Amazingly enough Tuesday was the first day that I tried Lay's Salt and Vinegar chips, I used to see girls in High School eat them all the time. Always thinking they were weird for eating such a weird chip, I mean all chips come with salt on them in one form or another. Why pick ones with vinegar on it? To me it made no sense.
Nacho cheese and Cool Ranch Doritos, now those are chips!! Even Lay's Sour cream and Onion or better yet Sour cream and cheddar . . . I mean if you're going to eat a chip you may as well enjoy it right?
I can even go more healthier with Sunchips, those yummy French Onion. Or I can go the opposite way and snag the Funyuns, which I haven't had in forever. Last time I had one was my little brother's Wasabi ones, pretty tasty if you ask me.
Don't forget about the unique styling of Cheetoes, something about some cartoon Cat going bonkers over them put them up on the special shelf with Coco Pops . . . then again you have my pulling from my childhood memories.
Oh and then you have the Holy Grail of Potato chips, Pringles . . . the bite size, none-grease comes in their own little protective tube that makes it so easy to eat all the little broken bites on the bottom. Simply go Bottom's up with the tube. I'll always think of my Beloved Oma when I see or taste one, she'd only by Pringles and oh how we loved them. Kind of a bummer that there's only about 2 servings in each tube.
Incase you were wondering, I liked the Salt and Vinegar chips I had. Something about the salt tang of the vinegar does something weird to the back of your mouth. It was likely a good thing that I only had a snack sized back. I didn't feel all yucky after eating them either, I can only eat a few Sour Cream and Cheddar chips before I start feeling like I ate 10 too many.
Man I need some chips . . . .Labels: Food |

| Siblings |
There's more to being a sibling then just sharing the same bloodline, true you have an all-access pass to taking out any anger issues on them . . . teasing, pick on 'em, rubbing their face in a loss after 15 rounds of Rock-Paper-Scissors. The list can become end-less if I spend too much time thinking about it but I'm getting off the subject. My point is that there is another side of the coin, something as an only girl can attest to, having had two protective brothers. True they can chase away the hot looking bad-boys, but they're there to get your back if you need it.
Last night my brother was the one who needed it, so me, my little brother and even my daughter were there to support him thru his suffering. Postponing my shower I drove over and picked the two up. You see someone, who will remain nameless, crossed the line embarrassing my brother by getting a restaurant full of wait-staff to sing happy birthday to him. You see if I was there I could at least take partial credit for the embarrassment as is my right as a sister, but this was done without my presents. Hearing that she had been warned several times not to, revenge was a must.
I had to do it, my brother needed closure. Besides it was done with LOVE. You see we have spies all around, it's kind of hard to feel too bad when you get her Mom's approval to decorate her car for her . .. then get a call from her sister 2 states away all excited about it.
You know what the benefit is of having a daughter? The 10 pack of bathtub crayons at the house to write loving notes, add some Aloe Vera gel to some door handles and wipers then wrap the cute little VW in 500 ft of plastic wrap. What else could you do except take pictures with your cell phone. *chuckles* My daughter even drew a few pictures on the window (herself, a whale and an ear to be exact).
As my brother so poetically said, "The Family that vandalizes together stays together." Oddly enough it was my first car decorating party, just so you all know it's very obvious that my brother's weren't knew to this. |

| Happiest Time of the Year |
You want to know what one of the benefits of being a single mom who rents her home? Aside from the lack of stress from lawn maintained and house maintenance every year something wonderful happens that allows me to be thankful about the stage I'm at in my life. It's called a Tax Refund, a cuddly-fuzzy return amount that will make my lonely bank account feel so much better about being attached to my name.
I did my taxed last weekend, was hoping for one amount and ended up with a little over double what I thought I'd get back. *does a little dance* It's a bummer that my bills are such a mess, if they weren't my return could go towards something nice like a vacation. *gitty moment* Could you imagine a vacation for just me and Anna. Paid for by myself, not my parents or anyone else. Something I could give my daughter just because, how many single mom's are allowed such a treasure. Heck I could fly us down to Disneyland (some place she tells me every other night that she wants to go). *jaw drops* Because of my wonderful new job it means that I could actually use my vacation time to go. A vacation I paid for myself while STILL getting paid. *Officially freaks out*
That's IT, I have to do that next year. Which means I have to be all over my bills between now and then. Be a good, well organized adult for 12 months and then come March 31st 2007 I can hand my daughter an envelope with two airplane tickets and passes to Disneyland . . . . yes my eyes are getting a little misty so what.
*Dances about like fool* |

| It Lingers |
Have you ever watched a movie and have it linger with you for a few days? Some movies do that to me, like last night. My brother and sister-in-law rented Domino, a movie that I had been wanting to see. My brother warned me that it was kind of dark, not a movie for my daughter to be around as I watch. Hmm a movie about a bounty hunter given the filming style from the previews that was a 'Duh' to me. So while she stayed upstairs with my parents I watched the movie downstairs, oddly enough ignoring the dinner in front of me.
I LOVED the movie. I'm not exactly sure what it was about the movie that's nagging at me, I think I need to watch it a second time. The only thing that I can think of that would haunt me is the character Choco . . . not that he's all psychotic (something about that I found myself giggling about). I think it was the looks he'd gave Domino, from the beginning you're informed that he has a crush on her but doesn't do anything about it. It's those long . . . deep side glances that he shoots across the room, every once in a while to each other. Convaying so much emotion in such a simple act. I think that's what gets me . . . seeing such a tough guy being slowly tortured by the love he feels for someone else.
Maybe it's that typical bad-boy thing girls go after, not that he's really one of them. Just a slightly crazy guy who finds peace and madness when he looks at this one person.
Perhaps I'm the one with the issues, my two favorite movie couples aren't your typical happy endings. In Last of the Mohicans Uncac and Alice never speak of their love, just those passionate glances and then joined together in death. So poetic . . . and now Domino and Choco. Another couple that spend the whole movie apart and finally give into each other taking the plunge only to be parted in death a few hours later.
I think it's those longing looks that I miss and love so much . . . {sigh} |
