I'm watching the first playoff game of the MN Wild vs. the Avs. It's tied 2-2 with three minutes left in the third period. We just fucked up by covering the puck in the crease so the Avs have a penalty shot.
I shut off the tv.
I can't watch.
Although if I watch, I just MIGHT shit my pants.
I would actually welcome that right now.
~Sigh~
Do you guys realize that if I don't poop tonight, it's going to come full force tomorrow? WHILE I'M AT WORK?
Do you realize how bad this will be??
Thank the good lawd for air freshner in the fresh linen scent.
~xoxo~
PS...Our goalie shut the Avs' penalty shot DOWN. YEAH BEEEYOTCH!!
I was in Denver over the weekend, spending time with two of my closest girlfriends. I had so much fun with them whether we were out partying, lounging around talking about boys, driving in the mountains (okay, that was not fun as I was carsick), etc.
My friend, Special K, lives in Denver. She moved there about 5 years ago to go to Grad school. She is graduating this May and will be moving back home to the 'Scrote. I wanted to go visit her one last time in Denver before she comes home.
Our friend, Ron, lives in San Diego and flew to Denver to hang with us.
It was a much needed weekend with the girls and I loved it.
I would show you some pictures but I CANNOT FIND THE FUCKING USB CABLE AND IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS!!!
*whew*
Oh ~ and I ran at least one straight mile today...and a total of 1.5 miles in my 2 mile run. WOOHOOO!!! Sweaty taints rule!!
I mean, they STINK. These babies are rank and for good reason!
I, Miss Hunzer L. Hunzer, went for a 2 mile jog/walk today. Not only did I actually JOG during this adventure, I jogged at least HALF the time. This is the second time in three days that I went jogging.
(We got 8 inches of snow yesterday so jogging wasn't gonna happen. Today? Low 40s and it melted away most of the snow. Thank you Jeebus!)
Now, I realize that two miles ain't shit but it's a start. My Aunt (let's call her C-Dog) is a runner. She's been running since I can remember. I wonder how many miles she has logged on her skinny ass legs? (I say that with LOVE C-Dog!) My jogging pales in comparison but I'm finally doing it. However, I will say this:
Running with a 38DD rack is interesting, to say the least. After several attempts at trying to corrall the twins, I finally figured out a way ~ I wear my regular bra (Cacique...I love you!) and then wear a sports bra over it. They still bounce and my shoulders hurt like a mo'fo but they are no longer punching me in the chin or the knees.
One of my favorite lines is "my ass won't run unless it's from the cops". This is true and it has happened a few times (sorry Mom). Now I'm running because I WANT to, not because my dumbass boyfriend made us.
It's amazing, the clarity I feel after a run.
My psyche feels rejuvinated. My mind feels more open, more fresh.
Just fucking HIDEOUS. So hideous that it's almost midnight, I'm fucking EXHAUSTED but I'm too wired to sleep. Sigh.
Help a sista out bloggees...I just joined Blockbuster online as I see a lot of nights home and movie-watching in my future. I was a Netflix girl but I like the notion that I can return movies to the Blockbuster store as well as by mail.
I need movie suggestions. I *love* to laugh. Love action flicks ~ lotsa ass-kicking over blood and gore. I like pyschological thrillers. Romantic comedies are okay. No foreign films (way too ADD for substitles) and no cheesy romance movies. Anything surrounding the death of a child is too hard for me to watch.
Based on that criteria (good GOD I am picky) ~ throw out some movie suggestions. Throw out some TV series suggestions too. Stand-up comedy is also well appreciated here. :)
I'm sorry, but it's NOT hot. I went to the Bon Jovi concert last night with my preggo girlfriend. Daughtry opened ~ LOVED it. Bon Jovi played for at least two hours. They have 25+ years of music to play so I knew it would be long. We bounced when the encore started because it got SO OLD. My observations:
~ Chris Daughtry is still an awesome live performer. When he covered Filter's "Hey Man Nice Shot", I was officially in love.
~ Which is creepy because he looks a lot like my brother. So I'm not in love with Daughtry...just his music. ;)
~ Richie Sambora is old.
~ The keyboard player desperately needs a new hairstyle. Long blonde tight ringlets are NOT HOT on a dude. Ever.
~ Your love is like BAD MEDICINE. That's all.
~ I'm getting old because I was too tired after three hours of live music. WTF?
I have pictures from the concert but my USB cable has mysteriously disappeared. Weird. Once I find that bitch, I'll upload some fun ones from the concert and the POLAR PLUNGE.
Yep, my brothers and I did the Polar Plunge again this year in honor of Amanda. It was F.U.C.K.I.N.G. cold. It was on March 8th and it was 12 degrees outside. Did I mention that we jumped in a lake in 12 degree weather? Yeah. My loins were PISSED when I got out of the water.
A few years ago, I was the organizational QUEEN. I even had some good bargain-shopping mojo. I had pre-planned menus, made my own baby-wipes, clipped coupons, bargain-shopped, was on top of every single appointment and school assignment out there, kept my house clean, had a laundry system, and more.
Then I got help for my anxiety issues. It chilled me out to the point that I am an unorganized MESS! I lost my organizing mojo. I'm sick of it!! I need it now more than ever.
My question to you is ~ what are your favorite organizational tips? If you have any good websites to share, point me that way!
It's one of my favorite videos. I'm in a bit of a mushy mood this week for several reasons, one of which has to do with my job. I work at a cancer center and a few of our radiation patients are young with young children. One recently finished her radation for now. The other is currently in radiation and brings his three-year-old son with when his wife is working. I hang out with his son when he's in for his radiation treatments (they take 10 minutes or so).
This kid is so freaking adorable. He is so smart, says the CUTEST things and has the most adorable eyes. After they left today, my coworker says "Doesn't he remind you of the YouTube girl who kicks the monsters ask?" He totally does!! I had to watch the video again to see the sweetness.
This cracks my shit up. Enjoy!!
~ xoxo ~
Postscript:
I had to add more favorite videos here. I just love these. When I am in a shitcan mood, these videos totally turn me around. Like I said, I'm feeling sentimental tonight. :)
That is the only word I can come up with to describe this post.
AND
In the wise words of Smokey...
DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
Now if only I could smear the red velvet cake on the model, my life would be complete. My birthday is on Thursday...can I have this for my present?? PLEASE???
~ xoxo ~
PS...I can't stop looking at the model (thank you Queenie and D&G for bringing this to my attention ~ my kibbles and bits thank you too).
PPS...I can't stop thinking about the piece of red velvet cake I just put in my belly.
PPPS...I can't stop looking at the model. And thinking about eating the cake off of his abs. And then "accidentally" dropping my fork down his pants.
Thing 1 lost her second tooth today. The only problem?
I can't do teeth.
I'd rather eat Bob Barker's moldy taint than watch some kid wiggle their nasty ol' tooth. Thankfully she lost it while next door playing with the neighbor kid. Now all I have to do is get the *gag* tooth out from under her pillow tonight without wretching outloud.
On a different note ~ I went to Amanda's memorial garden yesterday. It was at her school. They planted a flower garden and a tree right outside of her Special Ed room last spring. I tied some balloons on the tree and laid some daylillies on top of the snow. I didn't visit her actual gravesite because it was covered in snow and I didn't think I would be able to find it (it's a flat stone). I loved visiting her school after all this time. Two years. Wow.
He's so damn cute I can't stand it!!! Baby Boy Child didn't want to fall asleep like his big brother and sister so we let him play for a while. I couldn't resist taking these pictures. :)
Who doesn't love these? I got home from work at 11:00 this morning due to a sick nanny. It was nice to be home with the kids for the day ~ bringing Thing 2 to preschool, bringing the Baby Boy Child to my work to show him off, going to the gym, making dinner, etc. Thing 2 had a tough day today though. He was very crabby, stubborn and high-maintenance. All three were down for the count by 8:30PM. This has left me time to clean the kitchen, do several loads of laundry and clean my bedroom.
BORING!! Let's get on with the cuteness. First, a video. Watch Thing 1's expression right as she pops up behind the highchair...
One more quick video of the Baby Boy Child beating up his big brother, Thing 2. Don't mind the folded laundry on the couch. Actually, it looks like the Baby Boy Child got in to some of it and threw it off the couch. Oh well.
Now for the cute photos!
Thing 2 was "Artist of the Week" at school this week. It was also Pajama Day!
There's my photo update. BUT WAIT! There's more!! These are on the LOL President website and I loved them. These in no way reflect my political views. They are just for fun!!
I did my part and voted in the Minnescrotum caucus tonight. I made it with ten minutes to spare. After that, I went to the gym and did cardio while watching the Wild/Detroit hockey game. We lost in OT but it was a great game. I'm amazed at my increasing stamina on the cardio equipment. I've lost 12 pounds since the beginning of the year. I weigh-in tomorrow at work (we are doing a Biggest Loser contest). I'm a little nervous about that because I didn't eat well this past week and didn't get in any gym time.
You know what? I haven't scrapped or stamped or hell, even knitted/crocheted anything in MONTHS. I want my crafty mojo back!! I don't care how I get it back...I just want that shit back NOW. I need to plan a weekend of scrapbooking with the girls in my family so I can get back in to the groove. I think about working on it after work but by the time I get home, I barely have the energy to work out.
I really need to get back in to knitting and crochet for my sanity. There is so much going on right now. Working with yarn is so peaceful and calm. I get to just relax while doing it. I have a coworker due to give birth any day and one who is in her first trimester. I have a patient with a beautiful three-month-old daughter that won't grow up with her Mama (who is only 31). It's so sad. I want to make some sort of gift for her daughter that connects her to her Mom. Any ideas?
By the way ~ CONGRATULATIONS AMY!!! I was so excited to read your news!!
Time for me to head to bed. I'm sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppyyyyy!! Goodnight loves.
Since I haven't been able to check my bloglines for a few days, I updated myself on the important things in life like Perez Hilton's latest gossip and my favorite cats...
Oh ~ I *heart* Obama! This picture just slays me.
I need to go check out the superbowl ads online. I saw one that cracked my ass up. It was the Diet Pepsi Max video with everyone nodding off until they drink Max. Then they start dancing like Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan in "Night at the Roxbury". Loved that Kattan was in it, too!
Later taters...have a great week!
~ xoxo ~
*Post-Script...
I just saw the Bud Light ad with Will Ferrell and will forever laugh!!
Holy shit ~ Has it been three weeks since I have last blogged? Jeebus H Chrimmas in a chicken basket! To be honest, I've sat down to blog a few times but had nothing much to say. Tonight isn't much better. I happen to have a Friday night at home with no husband and the kids sound asleep in bed. I thought to myself...
"Self, either go blog something or lay in bed and catch up on tivo."
Then I said, "Self, let's do both." And here we are. :)
Have I mentioned how much I love my job? Absolutely love it. Love it love it love it. I love it for many reasons but here's one that happened today...
We had a new patient come in with breast cancer and needs radiation. After our CT girls did the radiation planning scan on this woman, she and her husband came and sat at my desk while we figured out her start date for her radiation treatments. This couple was in the mid-to-upper seventies and just so sweet. They run a "Cattery" out of their home (it's like a kennel where dogs are raised).
I chatted with this elderly couple while getting their radiation treatments scheduled. They were so fun and so talkative. They showed pictures of the cats so everybody ooooh'd and aaaaaaaah'd over them. The husband was so sweet to his wife, taking care of her, helping her get dressed in her wheelchair, etc. You could tell he loved her very much even after all the years they have been married.
This was one example of how much I am loving my job...it's because I love my patients!!
Another example of why I love my job is here. I work with a girl named H every day. H and I are two little peas in a pretty little pod.
Now, I have this phobia about pooping at work. I don't know why. Perhaps it's because the staff bathroom is right next to my desk? I don't know. All of the Radiation people use it, including H and myself. It's only one toilet. There is no hiding if you stink it up.
I had Quizno's for lunch yesterday and it wreaked havoc on my belly. It came to the point where I couldn't take it any longer so I attempted to crap at work.
I couldn't do it. I got the stage fright.
About 10 minutes later, I had no choice. I go back in the bathroom and follow our rules of "pooping at work".
First you pretreat. I sprayed our Air Intrusions air freshner before anything. It smells really good ~ like clean clothes. ;)
Second, when you sit down, you must sit all the way back on the toilet to prevent streaks.
Third, as soon as it lands in the water, you flush. You do this as many times as possible to try and keep the shit smell to a minimum.
When finished, you spray the area again and make sure there is no residue from your attack on the toilet (or "residon't", if you get my drift).
I follow the rules of the bathroom and end up in there for about 10 minutes. When I come out, H looks at me with these wide eyes, a devious smile on her mug and says "Dude...you okay? I thought I had to break the door down to make sure you didn't pass out on the shitter."
Ha Ha very funny motha fucka.
I walked around my desk, grab my chair to sit down and find this sitting on my chair:
And this is why I'm constantly calling H an asshole. *wink*
After I composed myself from laughing so damn hard, we decided to put this specimen on the floor of the staff bathroom and see what happens. Yes, we are juvenile as hell but it was Friday afternoon for fuck's sake!
The reactions from people were hilarious. Most of them thought it was actual poop, one thought it was cake (WTF?) but it was three tootsie rolls mashed together in a piece of TP.
Love that girl, H. She is awesome!
I will leave you with my latest favorite video from You Tube...It's Travis Barker's remix of Flo Rida's "Low". It's fuckin' SWEET.
A little bit of sweet mixed with a whole lotta SASSY. I talk about everything from poop to partying to projects of a varying sort. I have a dirty mouth and I like the color purple. Deal with it.
