The Scream

So I promised I would post a picture of B and here it is!



While my mother was in town I made flour tortillas and one of them ended up looking like the face from the painting The Scream.



I thought about putting it on Ebay but before I could save it B ended up eating it.

Never judge a book by it's cover

I was at the gym during lunch today and while working out a guy that is always there with who I thought was his lover comes over and asks about the big band-aid on my leg. The band-aid is covering up the big gash that I picked up while tubing. We make small talk and I learn that the guy who he works out with is straight and married with kids (no one would have ever guessed that), we went to the same school for our MBA, and he is a pharmacist.

Later he comes back as I am doing hammer curls and says:

Him: I forgot to tell you something really funny.
Me: (concerned about what it could be) Oh yea, what's that?
Him: I always see you coming in with your work clothes and I pegged you as a pharmacist. I thought 'he must work over at CVS'.
Me: (Laugh) No, I sure don't.

As he walks away I make a mental note: Start Dressing Better!

Family Guy

B and I were watching Family Guy last night.

Me: Brian (the dog) is fat.
B: He is a dog.
Me: He is still fat.



He is still my favorite character though because he drinks.

Good News!

I went to the AT&T store and they were able to extract my contacts from my old phone to my new phone.

Everything is good with the world again. We now returned to your normally scheduled program.

I know I said I was going to post more often but I really don't have anything to talk about. Sad but true.

B is going to be out of town for most of the month of June so I will be single but not in the lets go out and get drunk, naked, and sleep with anyone you want single. Just the I am lonely single.

I got a new phone yesterday. I don't have any one's numbers in the new phone though. I have to go get the numbers transferred at the wireless store.

That's about it.

What's going on with you?

Ball Sweat

Scene: Bar with lots of gay men, cigarette smoke and dance music playing in the background.

Guy 1: Do i smell good? (puts wrist to guy 2's nose)
Guy 2: What is that? (As he wrinkles his nose and gives guy 1 a look of disgust)
Guy 1: Ball sweat! (As he walks away)

Bad Boys

Guy 1: How are things with Mark going?
Guy 2: I am not sure. He texted and I replied but I never heard back from him. I called and left him a message but he never called back.
Guy 1: It's probably for the best. He looks like a sleaze ball.
Guy 2: I don't know why I am attracted to him. I just can't help it.
Guy 1: It's probably the bad boy in him.
(Long Pause)
Guy 2: Is it possible for an interior designer to be a bad boy?

A sign of the times

We went to a little gathering last night and out of 7 people, 3 had been recently been laid-off, 1 had recently started a new job after being laid-off, 2 were looking for jobs because of uncertainties with their job, and the other still had a stable job.

What is wrong with that picture?

Things from the Past

I am taking a box home from work today. I plan on sitting down in front of my cd rack and packing up my cd's. Two reasons really, one, I don't have room for them and two, I haven't used a cd in many, many years.

I am debating if I am just going to store them or if I am going to sell them at one of those second hand cd stores.

Is there anything we use right now that you think might become obsolete in the future?

Overprotective parents or hippies

Someone I know went to his niece’s birthday party and he was telling me about it. The child is 2 years old and the parents did not allow the child to have candy on her own birthday.

The cake was made out of sugarless frosting.

The piñata had small toys inside instead of candy. And the biggest thing of all is that they were not allowing the kids to hit the piñata of Elmo. Instead, the piñata had strings and each child got a chance to pull a string. One of those strings was connected to Elmo’s back and when they pulled it the toys inside fell out.

I don’t have any kids but this seems rather strange to me. First off, no sugar? Are you serious? Then the piñata. Seriously?

Over protective parents or hippies? You be the judge.

Phone Etiquette

Why do people pick up the phone when they can't talk and say "I'll call you right back."?

Why not let the call go to voice mail?

Why I Hate NetFlix!

I use to belong to Blockbuster online but I wasn't happy when they increased their prices and then, for good measure, increased their prices again.

So I switched to NetFlix around December of 2007. After a 3 month trial I am canceling my subscription with Netflix because they are way to slow to deliver movies. If I send a movie back on a Monday, I won't receive another movie back until Thursday or Friday. That is 4 days of WAITING. I am not a very patient person, and I realize that, but 4 days is a long time. With Blockbuster, I use to get a movie back within a day or two. Now that is speed!

So after 4 complaints to Netflix and not an acknowledgement from Netflix that they had received my complaint, I have decided to cancel the subscription.

I don't think it's to much to expect a little customer service and a fast delivery time.

Bartering at the Bar

We went to a couple of bars this weekend with one of our friends. One of the bars only lets you open up a tab if you spend $20 or more. We were only planning on being there for a little while and we never carry cash.

B ordered 3 drinks before we realized their policy on the tab and our cost for the 3 drinks was only $8. B pulls out his wallet and only found $7.

The bartender looks at us and gives us a disgusted look but accepts the $7.

After that happened we thought about the jokes we could have made like:

"I am more comfortable with this figure (as we slip a piece of paper towards the bartender)"

Or

"Would you take an old condom, a piece of gum, and $7."

Interesting

I just read an email from my old boss. I left my old job because of him.

I was actually glad to read his email.

I am also watching/listening to Jewell on KERA. I like her voice I wish she did more.

Today was Ben's b-day. We went out for drinks...I came home and he went out for drinks with his friends...more about that later.

Back to the old boss thing. I use to love working for him but the last year or two he became intolerable. It seems he is back to his old self and I am a bit hesitant to answer. I am going to sleep on it and decide if I want to answer.

"Who will save your soul. When it comes to the memories...who will save your soul after all those lies you told...boy....who will save your soul if you won't save your own..."

I have so much to share.

Did I mention I met the boyfriends family? Yeap. It's pretty serious.

I have been out of town for the last 4 weeks in a row.

I am going to NYC in July.

I gained 7 lbs.

My boyfriends dog hates me and peed in my bed (okay, she doesn't hate me, it was an accident but it makes it sound more exciting) (P.S. She has only done it once in 7 months).

I am starting an LLC.

My patio looks great, I now have lots of plants, furniture, a chandelier, bug repellant, and a fountain. I need to work on the back patio.

I have made two good friends in the last couple of months.

I have been out of the office more than I have been in the office this month and I love it. Makes me wish I was a house husband.

I have a great tan. I have been using the pool a lot and we went to Austin and went to Barton Springs.

I don't know how to swim but my boyfriend use to be a swimming coach. Guess who is learning how to swim? He is also giving one of my friends daughters lessons at the same time I get my lessons. She is 2 years old.

He also use to be a tennis coach. We have only played tennis once. I suck!

I eventually want to write about all of this but I haven't had time. Normally I get up and go to work. It's hard to leave my bed because my boyfriend gets to sleep in. He doesn't go in until much later…but he gets out of work at the same time. (lucky). After work I go to the gym (but I have gained weight). Then we meet up at my place and cook dinner. Normally we are in the kitchen together but one of us cooks and the other one helps. Then we watch t.v. or read and go to bed. It's not very exciting is it? But I like it. We made a decision that we were not going to be going out so much anymore. So now instead of going out 7 days a week we go out like once or twice a week.

That is it. I am still reading everyone's blogs.

Sleep Dialing

I think I have mentioned how B tells me I talk in my sleep.

I don't remember if I wrote about waking up in the middle of the night and seeing B with a pillow over his head. Apparently I also snore.

Last night I made phone calls...while I slept. Where you one of the lucky ones? B woke up this morning and asked

B: Where you making calls in the middle of the night or was I dreaming.
Me: You were dreaming. Who would I be calling?
B: I don't know, I thought I woke up and heard you whispering on the phone.
Me: No, you were dreaming.
Silence - - checking phone records
B: You didn't!? Who did you call?

Apparently I was feeling a little chatty last night and made a couple of random calls. I am trying to find out what I said. Hopefully it was completely unintelligible and i didn't say anything I wasn't suppose to.

We use my phone as our alarm in the morning. B is going to be in charge of the alarm now, but now we run the risk of not waking up until the middle of the day. He has a tendency of turning off the alarm and going back to sleep. Especially when we are suppose to be jogging.
