Life is still tingling!

I am still tingling. Feels like I am still on my date. How awesome, 43 years of age and 16 years of marriage and I feel like a newlywed. I can't even begin to tell you how I feel at the moment. A new human being, newly married or dating. No problems from the past, no fears about the future, just the awesome here and now. At least until work tonight.

Getting use to this laptop is a trip. Happy to have it picked out and brought home. Now for the fun of figuring it out. Life is AWESOME!

How we celebrated my birthday!

It was so awesome. Life was very very nice. First we went and saw old friends, then we went to the Flamingo Buffet. Wow, was that food awesome. I ate about 7 deserts. Everything was so terrific tasting, wonderful delicious fresh salad with lots of choices. Exellent seafood bar if you like crab legs, shrimp, and salmon. Mashed potatoes and gravy that taste home made. Prime rib, beef, 3 kinds of chicken. All delicious and full of flavor.

The date continued on with George Wallach concert. He was hilarious. Very good show. We headed to the room after and had the romance of a life time. Wonderful beautiful night.

Today I got my laptop. I like it. I can't wait to program my MP3 player. So tired from my wonderful date. Not only did I get my laptop but I also bought my first pair of flopies. They are purple and have Las Vegas written on them. They are kinda cute.

Steve dropped me at home and he is off playing poker. I pray he wins. Could use the money. Today he tells me that a woman who rode his bus last week prostitioned him to make love all night long. I am not surprised. Just thrilled I have a great husband that wouldn't even consider it.

It's really mind blowing that 16 years later and last night seemed like a second date. It was beyond believe. I am teh princess and I am so blessed.

Yes today is my Birthday!

Working nights really sucks on your birthday. You work the morning of your birthday and then you go back to work on your birthday, even if it's only for a half hour! I'm just saying, you shouldn't have to work twice in one birthday! Did get good news at work. Us grave yard folks get to park our cars in back, behind the locked gate. So no angry customers can hurt them anymore. Aren't we special???

Well hell, I know I am special and I am not talking special ed either! I am the only me there is and that is special in itself. No matter that sometimes, like now, I want to delete myself from this blog and curl up in a ball and not come out of it. Tomorrow I will feel better and it will all go away. Or one can hope. Someone please get me a positive, get the spirit moving book I can read. That will kick my butt out of this mood I am in.

How do you figure out what new phone to get?

Just spent almost two hours on the phone with my mom trying to help her decide what new cell phone to get. She had made up her mind before I called and I had made up my mind which one I wanted in July. Now after 2 hours we are both flustered and more confused (if possible) than before. Oh I love my mom and our baffling decisions that we can't quite commit to.

It maybe your Thurs. but it's my Friday!!!!

Oh how I love it when my Friday gets here. I know it's your Thursday but for me, I have 2 days off and I am going to enjoy them. Don't know what I am doing and don't care. Don't have any date night plans this week, which could be a bummer but at least I don't have to wear high heels and get more blisters!!! Course I guess we could go bowling and then I could wear bowling shoes!! LOL

Life is good! Went to work last night terrified there was something horribly wrong with my baby, King. Took him to the vet @ 7:30 this morning and he got his shots and his annal glands squeezed! He was a stinky boy after that but boy was he happy! Still is! We think he will be okay for now but if he isn't better in a week he goes back for x-rays and blood tests. Praying he doesn't need to go back. True I can't afford it but more importantly, he is a very important part of my family and I wouldn't handle it well if he was sick. He is only 8 years old. He hopefully has a few good years left in him.

My husband went to quit his job a couple of days ago because he wasn't making any money on the new bus route they gave him. They had told him he would make good money and he had to do it for a month before he could opt out of it. He worked two days and made less than I do in 7 hours. He works 12 hour shifts. Wasn't happy. So when they told him he couldn't opt out he told them he was quitting. Next thing he knew he was on the phone with the VP (his dad owns the company) and he was given a raise, given back his old assignment and the VP gave the dispatcher that makes my husband's life hell, a good what for. My poor husband felt guilty all day because it turns out that the VP's dad died and his funeral was that day. So I am sending up good thought's to the VP and his family for their lose and his ability to be an awesome boss even on a really bad day.

Well gotta run, have to spend my paycheck, what is left of it after the vet bill for my baby. The cable company here is ridiculous and won't even give me a one day extension and I can't lose my internet service. Carol wouldn't survive if we lost the cable. Frankly the phone I wouldn't care if they shut if off for good!

Last night's date was totally awesome!

We didn't have to rush. Got there early. The show was great! Dinner after was even better. And spending the night in the same bed at the same time with my hubby was cool, even if it was just to sleep! Sometimes working opposite shifts can really suck! But that may change as I may be moving to days! Will find out sometime next week. I really like working nights so I don't really want to go but whatever happens I will just be grateful to have a job!

Going on a date!!!

Blue Man Group tonight! Can't wait! A night with the hubby, can't beat it!

The world is full of crazy people!

I went to work last night, in a good mood, cause it's my friday!!! Works been slow this month, I guess May is always a slow month. Get lots of reading done, which is fine by me. Get paid to read, how cool is that? Tonight my first call is a man who seems very rational, calm, sincere and friendly even. His first words where, "Finally a human voice". Since I have called into my work many times, I know what a relief it can be to finally get that human voice. (God I hate computers answering phones!)

His second comment was politely asking me the time, which I told him it was 11:55pm. I forgot our clocks are 5 minutes fast. He said I was close, it was 11:50. I am thinking, why did you ask if you already knew? He then precedes to tell me in the calmest manner possible with no swear words or expressions of anger that Homeland Security will be descending on my company in 11 hours. He just wanted to let me know so that an innocent such as myself wouldn't get caught up in what was going to happen. He preceded to tell me that we needed to warn our drivers to stay off of private property or they would be taken out, and wouldn't that be a shame for their family and friends. He through in several alphabet agencies that were going to be shutting us down today, none of which made sense, like D.O.T or NTA, would have. He also said I had his name and number on caller ID and he knew that I knew who he was. Problem is, only his name came up on caller ID, so now our tech department has to try and trace the call. On a multi-line phone you really can't star 69 it.

After I told him I was transferring him to my boss he hung up. I am really use to phone calls making threats of all kinds. They are going to sue us, hurt us, hurt or equipment, our reputation and even a few threats on our lives. Those people all had one thing in common, they were angry and taking their anger out on me. I knew that none of those threats were something to be alarmed about. But the call last night, so calm, so rational had me concerned. Then when a SUV parked in our parking lot and it shouldn't have been there and no one was around I really started to worry. I suggested that even though I work for a towing company that we have our competitor come and tow it away. It was gone about 5 hours later. None of us saw it come in or go out.

I am happy to report that none of our drivers had any problems last night. The 11 hours are up soon and I am praying nothing happens. I am sure it won't. I am also praying that the person who called last night gets some mental help or something better to do with his time, because he needs it.

What a weird night!

Tomorrow is my Friday!

Can't wait. Tomorrow night we go see Blue Man Group! How cool is that? Still trying to decide if we should get tickets to Styx and Reo Speedwagon. I would love to but they aren't free and we do get to see two free shows a month. Plus Steve has to work and I don't think Jess would really dig their music.

More words to ponder!

And though home is a name,
a word, it is a strong one;
stronger than magician ever
spoke, or spirit ever answered to,
in the strongest conjuration.
---Charles Dickens

My Mother's Day!

I sent this to my Mom for Mother's Day. I didn't want her to think I had forgot her, since her card was in the backseat of my card, still unmailed. I wanted something beautiful and alive. Something that would keep on living, so she would see it and think of me. I prayed that I would find a florist I could afford and one that could deliver the "right" plant for the "right" price on Mother's Day! Took a couple hours but the place I called did a beautiful job and it wasn't near as expensive as I feared. My mom sent me a picture text so I could share in her joy. I appreciate it so much, now I know I got what I ordered and she got something beautiful that will live on for a long time in her loving hands.

PS. Your Mother's Day Card got mailed at 3:30 Tuesday morning! So you will get it by this Sunday I hope!

My bushy back yard!

I wish this picture could show the true beauty of this bush with its amazing blossoms. It is very peaceful to sit in the backyard and just look at this bush and listen to the wind chimes. Its a nice place to be.

My pondering thoughts of the day!

What did Henry David Thoreau mean exactly when he wrote:

The past cannot be presented;
we cannot know what we are not.
But one veil hangs over the past,
present, and future.


I get it but I don't!

It's all Diana's fault!

Reading her blogs, her first one she is tagged to take a picture and post it of herself and tag some others. I breathe a deep sigh of relief when I am not one of them. I even send her a thank you comment. Go on to the next blog only to be ordered to post a picture of me. Well I took it, in my pj's, after working all night, sitting in a hot house with no air, after finding out about Grandma Bunny and not being able to get my kids awake. So you get what you ask for. Man I could blame it on the camera and the lighting and the fact I took it myself but I just ain't looking to hot today or I am looking way to hot but not in a good way!

Boy it is hot!!!

Today is my Friday!! That is always great! What isn't great is that the air conditioner is broke and the temp is already 90 degrees and since it was well over 100 yesterday I don't hold out much hope that it will be cooler than that today! However, the air conditioner people are suppose to call me in a couple hours and hopefully they will show up today and fix the freaking thing.

Luckily for me, it's Tommy's day off too and he has a swimming pool so we will head over there soon. I can swim and get a tan and maybe take a nap. I maybe asking for to much but I will take what I can get.

Tonight, hubby and I are going on a real date. Been awhile since we have had a real date that involved dressing up, dinner in a nice place and we are going to see Jersey Boys. That's the upside of being a limo driver, you get free tickets to see the shows so you can tell your customers about them. Next week, it's Blue Man Group. I can't wait.

Jessica had Cher tickets for Wednesday night and never told me. Course she isn't into Cher, but I am. She thought I would call in sick to work so she didn't give them to me. She is such a brat. I don't go to work until 11:30 PM. The show would have been over by then. She has promised to try and get more tickets, I am praying she can. I am also praying that I get to go see Styx perform with REO Speedwagon. Styx was the first concert my mother let me go to in good ole S.F. They were awesome and I always loved REO. Those won't be free but they are really cheap.

What do you know, I am finally having some fun in Vegas. Life is great!!!
