Unbelievable

It just dawned on me that I blog about a little of everything...taking massive shits at work, masturbation, to do lists, random happenings--no stone remains unturned...but I forgot to acknowledge one of the most fabulous things that happened recently.

Last Wednesday I went off to work. Jen stayed here at the house with lil man and kept grandma company. (Wednesday are generally one of her days off, the other is Sunday...) Well I came home after a rather blah day...I was tired and knew I had a huge list of things to do when I got home, including my weekly group meeting for my Senior Seminar course....

I walk in the door to find Jen super cheery...which is always a good thing. She had done like three loads of laundry (so that could be scratched off my to do list), cleaned my bathroom (another one marked out), kept grandma company (which meant Gma not feeling the need to trap me upon my arrival at home and fill me in on every single detail of her day ranging from bowel movements to which one of her friends died and then getting pissy when I say I don't know or remember them...) YAY.

Jen even helped grandma to bed later that night while I was in my meeting which saved me an hour and allowed me to focus on school....

I have a fabulous girlfriend FABULOUS!!! I tell you. Today we went to Baby hell, aka Babies R Us and bought stuff for my sister's shower next Sunday...wasn't too bad and lil man behaved which is a total plus...it helps that we threatened to return his PS2 game to the store if he didn't act right. Don't get me wrong he's not a bad kid, no BeBe's Kid to say the least, but likes to whine if he doesn't get his way and I don't play that...

Oh well lots to do...the moral of the story is Jen Rocks...

Midterm Mayhem

And my boobs itch...I just finished both of the midterms that I had left. Yay. Downside, when I clicked the button to submit one of them I got an error message that said that there was an error in submitting my exam--WTF. I'm on hold now with technical support in hopes that my exam did actually get turned in and isn't just floating around in cyberspace somewhere.

I went thrift store shopping after work. I didn't find anything, but I found Jen two brand new dress shirts for work...a couple of brand new shirts for grandma, a couple of baby outfits for my soon to be here niece, a cut off type shirt for lil man that's red and says GAP in camo letters, lol...nothing for me.

Then off to the shoe store, I was thinking of splurging and finally getting those Sperry Topsiders I've been wanting but opted against it...they aren't great enough to justify that expense. I bought my sister a pair of adidas sandals because they are the only shoes her fat baby oven feet would fit into...she couldnt afford them right now so I treated her for now. I did find a pair of Nike sneaks for 22 bucks so that was exciting and its time to have new ones for work...the ones i"ve been wearing are too flat and kill my heel daily...

Then Mandi and I met up with Mom, Dad, Aunt Melissa and Uncle John for a birthday dinner for Dad...MEXICAN...yay...The highlight of my evening is when my mom had a brain fart and asked the server to sing happy birthday to Dad in Mexican...OMG...REALLY MOM...talk about unintentional racial slurs, lol. I learned a long time ago from working in warehouse to not assume anyone is mexican...I worked with Hispanics from all over--Guatemala, Mexico, etc etc but you don't call someone from Guatemala a mexican...they get pissed...but I digressed....I corrected mom and she was all like oh yeah...

Then off to walmart....Jeffrey's girlfriends daughter (Satan herself) has a birthday party tomorrow and if by some off chance I decided to be nice and take lil man to attend it, I needed to have a present for the ungrateful little brat...I spent all of five bucks on her...if she had manners and actually appreciated shit then I'd spend more...but for now it's pointless.

Finally home, laundry in...shower...checked on Grandma...she got to bed by herself tonight for the first time in a long time...and then midterms....only to get an error message

I got a ticket number from technical support...it turns out the professor (who's a cunt bag anyway) didnt mark the right box on forgot to do something on her end so the midterm I just did isn't set up to even be graded. So I emailed her and told her what was up, gave her the ticket number and told her to call tech support if she had questions...I'm not feeling good about this right now considering that it took me emailing her to let her know she hadnt even posted the midterm for us to do this week...WTF...she finally put it up on Wednesday...we are supposed to have a full week to complete it...but oh well.

Its almost three in the am...need to head to bed...Good night all.

Retail therapy

So I don't work for, but work onsite for one of the Cost Plus World Market Distribution Centers. SO I helped out yesterday and today to set up all boxes and break down pallets for the sample sale that was scheduled for today.

Each round was 10 minutes...the first and second rounds were $10 for everything you could fit in the bag and carry out in your arms. The third round was five bucks, then two rounds that were $1 each and finally the last being whatever you could grab FOR FREE. It was the best retail therapy experience of my life!!!

I spent $22 bucks total and I got: (and yes I'm listing like almost everything because ya'll just have to understand how fabulous it was)
