A New Game

My puter is sick...she has a virus. Hence the lack of blogging. She is going to Anderson for the week to see Dr. Gregg. He is going to give her a lobotomy and restore her to the day she was born so hopefully she will be as good as new soon and I will be back to blogging. Might use the laptop in the mean time if I can get that biotch working correctly. I have lots of b-day party pics to upload and edit. Yes, I survived and with the exception of forgetting a knife to cut the cake it went off without a hitch. Shocking, I know.

So here is a tid bit to tide you over until the pics are posted.

Jayke was at dad's last Monday and they were doing their usual Monday routine of eating poptarts and watching Las Vegas. Dad told me the following conversation was had when all of a sudden Jayke popped up after hearing something on the show that got his attention..

Jayke: THAT'S the game I wanna play!

Dad: What's that?

Jayke: HIDE THE SALAMI!!!

Dad: (laughing hysterically) Okay well go ask Meemaw if she knows anything about that game.

Amazing what they allow to go out on network television these days....maybe Las Vegas isn't the best show for a 5 year old to be watching. Jaykeb just thought it was a new fancy version of hide and seek. I think he better stick to Spongebob and his infomercials that seem to entertain him so well. So far he is totally impressed with the space bags, the pan that you flip the whole pan and don't have to use a spatula, and the hangers that allow you to hang way more clothes in your closet. He told me he is getting me spacebags for Christmas because they, "keep your things clean and dry!" He will usually go into a full fledged recitation of the annoying infomercial. If it isn't bad enough that I have to be assaulted by my television with these loud obnoxious commercials now I have a live and in person version in my own room! At least I know if the rocket scientist gig falls through he has a backup!

It's a Comin'!

It's that time! Planning The Boy's big birthday bash! I'm trying to do an indoor carnival this year complete with bounce house and carnival games. We will see how this goes. His birthday is in two weeks and I just started working on it today. Normally...before last year that is...I would have had this all bought, planned, organized, strategized, etc, a month ago! My life would be so much easier if his birthday were in the summer. Pool party at dad's and I'm done.

Don't Touch The Hair!

Jayke has some hair issues. Basically the back of his head is one big cowlick. I can't do anything with it unless I keep it buzzed or wash it every morning. He is against the washing every morning and basically I am too in the winter. What am I saying, I don't ever wash it because we don't have a bathtub up here so he does all his bathing at my mom's. That is beside the point though and a different post. Back to the hair....

I try to let it grow out some in the winter which is when we have the issues. I've decided that he is just going to have to have it sprayed down and moussed everyday now. He is thrilled. We had a big arguement about it and as you can see by the picture he is armed and ready for when I come at him with my styling products.

I should have written this yesterday....oh well, here goes...

I have had two requests from friends now to update this thing. They may not be "Commenters" but at least I know someone reads this other than my family who are required by law.

Yesterday was my one year anniversary at my wonderful place of employment. Yeah rah. I so should have written this yesterday when I was amused with the place instead of ready to quit, but anyhoo...Since it was my anni I promptly went to Jessica's office when I got there to ask where my balloons, streamers, and marching band were. Afterall, an employee like me should be celebrated right? Right! She told me happy f'n anniversary and went back to what she was doing. Shes just sweet like that. I smiled waved my favorite finger at her and strolled on down the hall.

I went to my office and dove right into my work like I do every morning...snicker...when all of a sudden the owner popped in. She handed me something and told me it was the best she could do and happy anniversary. I was so touched that she would take time out of her busy day, doing whatever it is she does in that mess of an office of hers, to come bestow a gift upon me in celebration of me gracing her with my presence for an entire year. So, what did she give me you ask? What does the bestest employee eva get on her anni? Well let me show ya....





You may be asking yourself what the hell is that? I totally would have been too if I hadn't made floral arrangements for ten years before I became a slave to the medical billing world. That, my friends, is a Christmas bulb which has been floral taped to a wooden floral pick that she pulled out of the arrangement in the board room. You gotta love a boss with a sense of humor like that! No one gets anything for their anniversary cept a review but I got this special gift. Something no one else got or probably ever will!

I immediately called Jessica to tell her what a smart a** she is. She didn't know about the special gift but had sent an email to Jill about my inquiring about my marching band and streamers. Of course, she thought her creativity in coming up with the appropriate show of appreciation was outstanding. I have to admit it was pretty funny and I felt special even if it was the two of them laughing at me. Like she told me Monday, whilst glaring at me over her tissue,..."I just joke with you because you're the only one I can talk to like that and not find crying in their office later!" I can feel the love people.


I may have a Christmas update someday soon. That will be after Sara has me make contact with Miss Cleo to find out what my future may hold...
