Down Time

Well I went and saw the Dr. last week because I hurt my ankle on our vacation in November and it is just not getting any better. Well he said he's not sure what is exactly wrong but it's not good and he wants me out of work for 10 days!!! I can't be out of work for that long I'll go nuts. Today was my first true day out and I still did some work from home. I can't let go on my job which I guess in a way is a good thing. I've never really been so connected to a job that time off bothered me. I'm sure I'll be sick of day time tv and my bed (ok maybe not my bed) by the end of my sick stint. I'll have more time to blog that's for sure.

WOW

I'm back after a long break of not writing. I finished up my masters degree and I am officially finished with school! Work is work and nothing changes. I still love my job and work toward my goals and helping my families everyday. A and I went on vacation and had a blast. I sprained my ankle the second day there and didn't go to the doctor so tomorrow I'm going to see a specialist cause it's not better yet. The holiday is fast approaching and I'm done with shopping and wrapping. I'm back in action and will be posting a lot more now that my life is not so crazy.

My Busy Life has Reduced Me to a Lunatic

Holy Shit it's been a while since I posted. I've been so busy with work and school I've turned into a lunatic. With my masters looming and our vacation at the end of the month I have been running around like crazy. A and I are still making wedding arrangements and vacation plans. Nothing really exciting has happened over the last few weeks. I had a momentary fit of road rage where I accosted a stranger but quickly recovered. Normally I yell and swear with the occasional flip off thrown in there. Yesterday I was sitting in my car (parked) talking on my cell phone when this woman gets in her brand new mustang and slams her car door into the side of my car. I look at her and she proceeds to ignore what she has just done. Normally I would have yelled at her from my car but I was having a rather difficult day. I got out of my car and proceeded to bang on her window and scream "what the fuck are you doing" I look and there is a nice silver paint smear on my car door. I scratch off the paint and scream at her again "you're lucky you didn't dent my car you fucking bitch." She has become increasingly scared and is panicking in her car. There was a man parked in his truck in front on me waiting for his wife I presume. At this point he is laughing uncontrollably. That woman should have thanked him because he saved her life. If there weren't witnesses I would have kicked her car door. I know this makes me look crazy but I swear I don't usually resort to this kind of temper tantrum. I bet you $20 bucks she will never do that again. A simple acknowledgement that she hit my car would have prevented all of this. To top it off she was like 40 and old enough to know better.

The love of My life.....

So yesterday marked exactly one year until our wedding day! A sent me flowers at work and we had a great dinner at home together. A wanted to go out to dinner but why waste the money when we already took out pork chops. We watched a movie and relaxed. We were actually in bed by 10 because we've both been so busy with school and work we're completely drained. We're leaving to go on vacation in a month and I can't wait! We both need a vacation to remind us how to relax and step away from the craziness that encompasses our life.

Music to My Ears........

I was never really big into different types of music until I met A. I mean I like certain kinds of music like angry girl and teenage angst music. I never really had an appreciation for music I don't' think. I didn't start listening to rap until my senior year of high school and even then it took a while. Now if you look at my CD's that's all I've got. Recently I've been listening to a lot of older music from when I was growing up. For instance right now I'm listening to the Butthole Surfers. Remember them? I've been listening to a lot of 80's music redone by punk bands which I think is both entertaining and hilarious. I mean come on a punk version of 99 Red Balloons who could resist? I always listened to Bob Dylan and the Beatles and of course Arbusto's favorite DMB! I however did not quote DMB in my yearbook like the other 250 members of my graduating class. Lisa Loeb is an all time favorite and now I'm listening to a lot of Barenaked Ladies and Dashboard confessionals with some Jack Johnson mixed in there. I forgot how good the music of "my day" was. I'm slowly moving away from rap and doing the mellowy punk thing again. I told some one the other day one of my all time favorite songs was Glycerin by Bush they looked at me like I was nuts. They couldn't believe I listen to Bush. It kind of makes me sad though when at lunch time the radio does the "back in the day" portion and it is my music. Am I old? I've been digging through the old CD's and I'm definitely turning into one of those people who listens to out dated music full blast in their car like it's no big deal.

Socially Accepted

God what a long weekend or should a say passed two weekends. A and I have been on the run the last few weekends as we have become social butterflies. It's nice to have people want to hang out with us and invite us every where. At the same time it sucks because we almost never decline the offer as it's nice to step away from the adult us. The weekend we went to a college football game and tail gated for 5 hours. Then we went on a haunted hayride which also included drinking. We were going to follow it up with some quality bar time but we reluctantly decided after spending from 10am to 10pm in a drunken state it was time to retire to our bed. I paid for it all day Sunday with my killer migrane. I wasn't hung over it wasn't that kind of headache it was a blinding mess which resulted in me spending most of the day.

Come on I dare you.......

So.... I'm driving today and there is a squirrel in the middle of the road. I am not one to run over innocent little animals. I will slam on my breaks to save even the littlest of frogs hopping in the rain. It makes me sad when I see dead animals in the road and I'm sure they could have been saved but some stupid friggin' idiot hit them any way. So back to my friend the squirrel. There he is standing in the road facing me with an acorn in his mouth. I wait... he stares... I inch the car forward slightly... he takes a few small hops... I inch again... he hops again with wild determination in his eyes... I coast a little farther.. he runs at the car and then darts into a yard. I stop dumb founded because I think I may have played chicken with a squirrel and won. Is that possible?
