one step forward, two steps back....

Ups and Downs. Wow, what a weird ass weekend. Friday, I finally found a dentist that accepted my lame insurance. Then, the insurance people said I wasn't eligible. I straightened that out, and was about to be seen, when I was informed that the visit would be at least 125 dollars. I had brought 20 for the visit, and 20 for a prescription, and couldn't barter with them, so didnt get seen. Then, Friday night, after killing some pain with bourbon, I got my OFFICIAL JOB OFFER with my deadline accepted and my salary agreed to. Hurray!
Then, Saturday, the tooth pain was so bad I was going insane. Justin got my old dentist on the phone and he called in antibiotics and a few painkillers, hurray.
Them someone came to tell us that my car, out of the shop for 4 1/2 days had been hit, the bumper tore off, by an Aaron's Rental Delivery truck. (I may remove their name tomorrow, if they agree to pay the damages.) But for now, I have witnesses that saw it, and they aren't open, so screw it. Today, we sort of got the bumper temporarily fixed so I can drive it, carefully.

Anyway, lots of ups and downs this weekend. Pain's setting back in, so it's about time for a pain killer and some bourbon, after I test drive the car around to see if the bumper will stay on. But tomorrow is my official start date after "temping" for three months.

I hope everyone's weekends had more ups and downs.

I'm not insane, maybe.


I found out from other kind bloggers that my Saturday post that disappeared wasn't a hallucination, it was a blogger error.

In that post, I explained the meaning of life, the key to happiness, how to find true love, and why platypuses exist.

Now, it's gone forever. Don't blame me, blame blogger.

My tooth, yet to be fixed, because the infection isn't gone, is freaking killing me. But I just found a new dentist that believes in pain management, so, hopefully they can help me tomorrow. Currently my pain management consists of xanax and bourbon, which works well at home. Not so well at work, though.

7 days left for them to meet my deadline at work to make me permanent. It's looking good, but you never know.

As for the answer to life, the universe, and everything, I will stick with Douglas Adams, and share with you the answer.

42.

That is all. Except for my inspired use of a new word that Spinning Girl made me start using all of the time.

Vajayjay.

I figure between 42 and vajayjay, the answer has to be there somewhere.

Where'd it go?

i really wrote, and posted, a new post earlier. and now it's gone.

I'm not drinking. i even had to stop and think, to make sure i didn't dream doing the post. but i did do it.

what the hell is going on?

i am not posting again, until blogger gets their crap together....

Except for this.
You Are Fozzie Bear

"Wocka! Wocka!"
You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up.
If only your routine didn't always bomb!
You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming.


Fozzy was always one of my favorites. The other night I said wocka wocka, and most of the room, (younger than me), all looked at me like I was insane. Then someone said, "hey, that's Fozzy from the muppets! I've seen them on nick at nite!"

I feel so old sometimes.

Blood is red, like roses.

Yes, valentine's day is Tuesday. Tuesday is new DVD day. Saw 2 is being released on Valentine's day. Romantic as hell, isn't it? How many couples will lovingly sit next to each other on the sofa, sharing a bag of microwave popcorn, stare romantically into each other's eyes, and then, one of them will softly whisper, "press play, honey."

Sounds disturbing, and maybe it's because we've been together for 5 years, but this is our plan for Valentine's Day. Watching a bunch of people get tortured, in highly graphic scenes, and exchanging loving glances throughout the movie.

Does this make us totally weird? I bet the video store totally runs out of Saw 2 on Tuesday. But we may never know if it's because of people like us, or a bunch of single people taking out their hatred of valentine's day by watching people get killed.

In my world, we're all watching it together, with the ones we love.

Busy Bobby

I know it's not a good excuse or anything, but I really have been busy lately, still suffering with an upcoming root canal, negotiating my permanent job, and.... get excited here people, Justin got a kick ass job making more money than he's made before! Things are starting to look good. Well, except for the root canal thing, but I am drinking that one away for the weekend. Bourbon is a wonderful painkiller, when you don't have access to real pain killers.

I have some stuff in my head to post soon, and some stuff written on post it notes from work, and I should be returning to my semi-regular routine this week.

The police came and arrested a neighbor this morning. I didn't really know the guy, met him once or twice, he seemed nice. They took the handcuffs off at the end and put him in an ambulance, but not before four police cars came. So we think he was detained for drug or mental issues. And I guess this could technically happen anywhere, but this area of town is going downhill fast. We may be moving this Spring.

Did you know someone from MTV reads my blog? Seriously. If you remember this little post about O-Town, well, someone created a "reality" show about Ashley, the cute blond one. Jamwall made the astute comment he should be playing the "pool boy" on porn, and he would make way more money doing that. His dialog from the show (yes, I sat through a few minutes of one of them, I was drunk okay?) is about as good as a porn. So until I return, I leave you with the following picture, and the question, does Ashley look like a musician, or a porno pool boy? And why does he wear so much mascara?

All good things come to those that....

bitch a lot. Apparently.

Sorry about the delay. Really. And I'll get right to the point. I was finally offered full time REAL employment, (not temporary), but now I am not sure WHEN it's going to happen. I kind of made it conditional that it needs to happen before the end of the month, and they agreed, so basically, it end up being....

GOOD NEWS!

It's about time, huh? I have been reading blogs, just not commenting much. I will be back to normal soon, I may need a root canal, so I've been in some major pain on top of all the work stress, but more on that when I feel better. Thanks for hanging in there with me, and for all of the well-wishes.

Yes. Still waiting. Trust me, I am way more annoyed than you. Not bad news though, just waiting for the hopefully good news.....
