Who da hell turn the lights out

So in my slumber early Vday morn, I awaken to here my alarm beeping. I opened my eyes for a moment, and realized it was beeping because the power was out. I went back to sleep. Woke up about 7:30 am still no power. And I had no clue whether the gov't was closed, since i didn't have access to TV or radio. Called KG, she let me know there was a 2 hour delay or unscheduled leave. After looking outside, I opted to stay home. Since I was tired of hearing the alarm, I went down stairs and turned it off. Checked the temp in the house. It read 66 degrees. Not bad. I keep it set at 71, so too much of a difference. Plus my neight said the power was supposed to be back on at Noon (per Pepeco).

Instead of going back to sleep, I showered, cleaned a lil, and unpacked my clean clothes from my trip. (When I got home on Sunday, I immediately placed the dirty ones in the laundry room. No need to drag that stuff upstairs.) After doing all that, I attempted to turn my portable DVD player on. But since I hadn't used it on in forever, the battery was not charged. Great. So around Noon I took a nap, by this time the temp was 64. I thew an extra blanket on the bed and dozed off. Waking occationally, since I was cold. About 2pm my cell phone rings, but immediately hangs up. *Signal Failed* great. It was the 2nd gig calling me. It was getting too cold for me. So I brushed my teeth so I could roll out. I had to be at the part time at 6pm. Even if I had no place to go, at least the car would be warm and I could charge the phone. Temp when I left 61 degrees.

So since i've been avoiding getting my air filter for the last 2 oil changes and needed windshield wipers, I went to advanced auto. I get there and notice everyone and they mama are getting new windshield wipers, lol. The guy at the counter looks up the availability of what I need for my car. He has the air filter. Great. But only has the passenger side wiper. Da hell. Who the hell is only using one windshield wiper at a time????? For the life of me I can't figure out why they sell them separate anyway. They wear down at the same time. (and yes I did express this to him). He offeres to check for them at another store. I tell him no thats ok, I aint going no where else, besides the ones I have aint going no where. I pay for the air filter and some D batteries (I have two flash lights and of course no batteries) with my debit card. He looks at my license, as he should, to confirm I'm the owner of the card. He then says I see you did your hair. Da hell. I sign my charge slip, take my merchandise, and say: My powers out, I have bigger concerns than my hair. And roll out. He had some nerve.

At this point I need to eat (all I had was cereal), so I try to figure out what to eat. While driving around amishly looking for drive thru without a million ppl in line, I remember Mikey maybe home. Luckily he was and he had power. He said sure you can come through. When i got there I was so happy. Heat, TV. Great. I waited to return the call to the 2nd gig till I got there, cause I had a feeling she wanted me to come in early. Come to find out. The power went out there at 1:30 pm. So I didn't have to work. Great. But there was a catch, she said I had to work today. Da hell what yesterday gotta do with today. But its whateva.

Shortly after my arrival, he decides he wants crabs. But couldn't print the coupon. Then decides he wants shrimp and that i would drive, since i was in the drive way. LOL only right. So we proceeded on our 1 hour and a half journey to get the shrimp he wanted. He didn't want the $3.99 shrimp at the first safeway. Before leaving the shopping center we hit the liquor store. He got beer I got a 6 pack of sminoff ice and the new sminoff tea. There we encounter this women, who wants some strawberry daquari (sp) mix. She enters I'm in line. She makes a bee line towards me.....Umm where is the S.D....Me thinking, hmm do I work here. But respond. over there I think, pointing behind me. She goes to the display. I aint what she wants. She makes a bee line towards the door to check her car, since she was parked illegally. She didn't want what I pointed out, because it had liquor in it. So she asks mikey. He pointed her to the other mixes. She repeatedly asks does it have alcohol. He says no, you add the stawberries, ice, and liquor. Oh i don't want liquor. she puts the bottle back on the shelf. Mikey says you don't have to put it in there. She picks it back up and says: I don't think this is what she got before. He says: It doesn't matter they're all the same. She says: I should just get it from Safeway, I don't drink alcohol. LMAO.....she seemed clearly drunk to me. lol.

Still on the hunt for shrimp, we drove to Rivertown. That was one long trip. We went over the river and through the woods. At least it seemed that way. And you know what he ended up getting them damn $3.99 shrimp he turned down at the first one because they were too small. He thought the shrimp were too hard to peel when there were that small.

So we killed the shrimp (well have of them, he bought 4 pounds). Drank our poisons of choice. Watched snakes of the plane. So unrealistic. and Hoodwinked (animation).

Got the call that power was back on around 8 ish. I waited it out till 10:30 pm to give the house a chance to warm up. If it was too cold when I got there I was going to sleep else where. It was 67 degrees, close enough to my settings for me to stay home. I just turned on my space heater to make up the difference. But guess what. I could not sleep. I stayed up till 3 am watching tv. well tivo, since I'm a week behind. Then I called Bree at work. We talked for a lil bit. Then I attempted to sleep. Woke back up around 4:30am. Went back to sleep till the alarm went off at 6am. Rolled out of bed around 6:45 am to get ready for work.

So here I am. I should be tired, with barely any sleep. But I'm not. I know i will crash later. But since I have to work 2nd gig, it won't be till much later we I can.

So that was my Vday. Thanks again Mikey for all the hospitality.

HAPPY BDAY 2 ME

Damn I look good for a 30 year old.

Well last nite I went to Jaspers, got there about 11:30 pm. I was determined to not be at home when my bday came in. Went solo. Braved the snow. But I know the bartendars, so I was not alone. :). Had 3 grown sized grey goose and cranberries and the crab explosion meal. At 12 my KG called (whats up lurker, I see you), then Metroman, then Bree. Bree and her coworkers sang happy bday to me. :)


When I got home called bree she was looking online for our trip. Mama called me around 5:30 am, Me and Ressie/BK texted around 5:45am, B texted me around 9. Daddy called about 10am. Bday wishes via im and myspace. And an ecard from TTD. Thanks ma. and let me not forget the cards i got earlier that week from T. Today is a good day.

As for the trip, guess what folx. We going to Cancun 2morrow at 12 pm. Coming back on Sunday. I'ma have a ball. Just got done booking everything.

So I gotta go. I need to do a lil shopping and get my feet done. Holla atcha girl.

Taggin Tuesday

I've been tagged by Ms Honey Libra . Now I've already done this tag b4, but I'm a team player. So Here goes nothing:

Tag: Share 5 things the blogger fam doesn't know about me.

1. Feet. I hate walking on the floor with nothing on my feet. When I do, i walk on the side of my feet. I can't stand the feeling of nothing on the bottom of my feet. Be it dirt, food particals, or whatever, It gives me the willies.

2. Dishes. I hate washing dishes. When I was younger, living with my Aunt, me and my cousins would rotate washing the dishes. With a household of 5 you can only imagine how many dishes there were. What I hated was the food in the dish water. It always grossed me out. Them bastards never rinsed their plates off. All that wet food swiming and touching my hands. Yuck. So now that I'm on my own. I do not wash 1 dish. The most I do is rinse. Everything goes in the dish washer. I have a set of dishes I got from the wedding that are still in the box, because I can't put them in the dishwasher. Yeah its that bad. lol.

3. My first job that furnished a W-2 was at W.e.n.d.y.'.s. Before working there I had never eaten their food. I worked the drive through and the main cash register. When I worked the drive through I was also responsible for washing the dishes from the salad bar. GRRRRRRRRRRR. Hated it. I made sure I rinsed the dishes b4 they hit the dish water. I would cuss anyone out who put them in the dishwater before rinsing. So with that let me tell you one secret...... the burnt hamburger meat was used to make the chilli.

4. E-snot. On a trip to the zoo, when i was younger. I fed an elephant. After he got his food I had a whole lot of mucus left in my hand. My mother dubed me e-snot for the rest of the day.

5. Singing. When i was younger, i wanted to go on star search. But I told my mom, that I only wanted to go during the summer so I wouldn't miss any school. I never made it. Imagine what could've been. I can hold a tune, more so than half these mofos with a record deal. Now I'm content with my life and do not want to be famous. I have too many skeletons to be famous. :)

Now I'm supposed to tag ppl.......hmmmm

Trina , Laa , TTD , and Mr. Miller


AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU ALREADY DONE IT.......REVEAL 5 MORE THINGS :)

Where am I? Where am I, you ask........

I'm in va bch baby. I drove here yesterday at 4:30 amish.....arrived at about 7:30ish. came here to go see S.y.l.v.i.a B.ro.w.n with my girlfriend. She said noone else wanted to go with her they all think she (my friend) is crazy. I'm open minded and a good friend, plus I don't need much to tempt me to take off work. lol. We went last nite. It was ok. They did some readings, most confirmed the readings were right. The ppl were picked by random (we were all given wrist bands, they drew the bands from a hat), so I guess the readings were legit. But whatever, I aint going out buying no books or seeking out a fortune teller.

I have this belief that what will happen has already been determined. So I am done agonizing over things. I will continue to live and let God.

Unfortunately I have to be at the part time 2morrow at 2 pm. So I will be driving home, sometime early 2morrow morn.

Funny story about horny seniors I received (hope yall can see it): If you can't basically, 9 seniors were kicked out of the nursing home because they set up an orgy for one of the ladies 90th bday.

For the weekend no big plans. Like i said, I have to work sat 2-9:30. And I work on Sunday. B invited me to his superbowl party. If I go I'll be late. So we'll see.

TMI Alert: Superbowl sunday has held a special place in my heart for sometime now. That's when my ex (who lives in Richmond) gave me my first Orgasm via intercourse. Before that I only had one through oral, motorized, or finger stimulation. He got this book, how to make your women scream every time and have her coming back for more (something to that effect), read it, and implemented the techniques. So if you can't get the job done men.....get this book. I can testify that it does work. Men also remember, whatever worked on the women before will not necessarily work on the current or the future lady in your life. Switch your game up, learn her body. And ladies learn your bodies, you need to be able to tell/show him what you like.

Haven't talked to metroman much. I called him last nite. no answer. he texts me back that he will call later, he's meeting Billy Bob Thorton. Never got that call back. Oh well. do you boo, you know i'm doing me.

Next week.....I TURN 30!!!!!! I can not believe I will be 30. when i was younger it seemed so far away. Now its 5 days away. (For those not good at math: That FEB 7th.). No plans for my actual bday. Bree has to work, so no telling what I will get into. But I know I will not be working. I NEVER work on my bday. :). 30 is one of those big bdays, where you supposed to do something special. So what am I supposed to be doing. Going to Mexico with Bree and a few other girls. A Thurs thru Sund/Mon trip. I say SUPPOSED TO, cause with less than a week away.....WE STILL HAVE NOT BOOKED THE TRIP. I know we need to get on that. But I aint going solo, so I can't book until Bree does. She keep telling me, even if its just me and her we going. So I will try to keep hope alive.

Other things I didn't tell yall.....

The divorce process has started. The 2nd week in Jan. I secured a lawyer. $500 down, $500 due by the end of March. That should be it, if he doesn't contest. If that Nicca does contest, I will have to pay $200/hr in addition to that Grand. He bet not contest, if he knows what's good for him. The papers are in the process of being filed, so he should be served shortly.

During that same week, I sat for the audit part of the CPA exam again (thats the part i almost past last time). I think i passed this time. I betta had, them tests aint cheap. I plan to take the next part in April.
