In Pain

So I went to my trainer two days ago after an absence of a month.
I don't know what the hell happened but suddenly my shoulder has no strength in it. It is my arthritic owwie shoulder (thanks so much sports as a kid). But I didn't think a month off would put it in this state. I could barely press 10lbs. And now it hurts so bad I can barely lift my arm. Just lifting my arm to put in a cd hurts.
Now I have to put off the gym again until it starts to feel better. Damnit!

In other news, not much is going on in this neck of the woods. Tomorrow is Independence Day, so I get the day off. I am having people over for a bbq and if they want they can stay until fireworks, since they are done a block or so away. The cool thing is we can watch them from my backyard, so we don't have to deal with the crowds.

So last night I was cleaning and organizing the man's mess of a filing cabinet. I don't know how he finds anything. Everything is stuffed in there and half folded or crinkled so that it takes up more space. So I sat on the floor and put everything in it own folder to be named later when I get the damn tab things. Looks like I am going to be the one to deal with the bill filing, so that it doesn't become a total mess.

Then I went on to clean the living room, which was a tad dusty. And I found the most foul thing on the shelves. Shoved against the side, so that I couldn't see it from across was room, was a beer bottle with a bit of beer left in it. I am not sure how long it had been sitting there, but there was mold floating in it and a spider. Freaking disgusting. I can only assume the man left it there on our wedding day when we had people over and we got tanked. But still freaking gross. *shudder*

I still have some cleaning left to do. The kitchen needs a scrubbing and you always have to make sure the bathrooms are clean when you have company over. And our bedroom is a dust ball. SO that will be my evening tonight.

I have an hair appointment today too. My hair has made it to the middle of my back and that is just way too long for summer. My hair is so heavy and thick it makes me crazy and I just need to hack it off. I would go really short, but I know the man would be sad, so I think to the shoulders is as much as I am going to cut off.

So it would be nice to get out of work early so I don't have to fight traffic to get to the appointment. But I don't think that is going to happen. The boss is going on a 2 week vacation to Isreal and when he is going to be away for a while, he spazzes and panics and we end up having to stay even when we don't have any work to work on. Oh well, that's the way it goes I guess.

Oh well, I have rambled enough for now. Not that I am boring that many of you. Just my one reader in Canada. Hello Canada.

Have a good weekend.

Proofs

The proofs for my wedding have been posted online.
So I figured I would post two of them to show off how awesome my dress was!

It's all about the back. And it was a gigantic hit, which was what I was going for. I couldn't have a plain old dress, I had to go different.

crappy cell phone pics of my vacation to hawaii. Because someone is bitching I haven't posted and I can't be arsed to come up with something to talk about right now.

First outlook we stopped at in Princeville, Kauai









Our convertible mustang (about every 4th car was a convertible mustang)









A cheesey luau in Kaui. We met a really cool couple from Manchester UK.
Afterwards we got completely pissed at our hotel with them. And the boys decided to get a little nekkid in the pool.










The Napali Coast from our 5 hour snorkeling/booze cruise. The day after the booze crazed night.









the Napali coast from the land side atop the Waimea Canyon









A really far away waterfall along the Road to Hana in Maui (it's there I swear)









A tiki we bought at another luau in Maui










So there you have it crappy cell phone pics from my hawaiian holiday.

OMG the coolest thing happened...

ok so we get picked up for our honeymoon this morning at 5 am. Flight is at 7.
We get to the airport ok and check in and all that jazz. Then we realize that we aren't sitting together. Nice start to a honeymoon right? We even asked to see if we could change it, and nothing.

So we suck in up in the back of the plane, each of us on either side of the plane stuck in the center. Totally uncomfortable and it sucked.

So we get to Phoenix and check in and AGAIN we aren't sitting next to each other. So we goo eat and sit at the gate. When they announced that there were a few first class seats left for a $250 upgrade per ticket. We considered and thought that $500 was way too much. So the man went up to the desk to see if we could at least sit together because it is our honeymoon and we didn't get to sit together on our first flight today. The woman at the desk took our boarding passes and said, well I will see what I can do. A few minutes later they call us back and WE ARE UPGRADED TO FIRST CLASS BABY! 7 hour flight to Kauai in first class. It was awesome. Free food, free booze and room to stretch out. And probably the only time we will be in first class.

Well I have to get to sleep. It's 3:30 am according to my body clock and I got up at 4 am yesterday. I almost want to stay up the extra half hour to make it a full 24 hours awake, but I am falling on my face.

nighty night

It's time

Well folks, I am getting married in the morning. Ding Dong the bells are gonna chime!

Ok sorry for the My Fair Lady outburst.

So I won't be around for a while because we are leaving for Hawaii on Tuesday. So looking forward to the vacation.

See ya in two weeks or so!

Sad News

My cousin died this past Saturday morning. He was 47.

He was a real fun cool guy. I'm gonna miss him.

Childhood flashbacks

A friend of mine just sent me a link of he 50 worst album covers. Freaking hilarious.

Then I get to one of them, and I actually remember the guy on the cover.

Meet Slim Goodbody...
I remember this guy on pbs in the 70s. He wore a full leotard covered painted with muscles and organs, like he was supposed to be transparent. He had little skits on how to eat healthy and how to exercise. If memory serves, he was on Captain Kangaroo. I didn't know he had an album.

Apparently a guy I work with had Slim visit his elementary school.
LOL!!!

Not sure how many people will remember this one. And I think he still exists cause he has a website. too funny.

Trials and tribulations of a license...

...a marriage license.

So the wedding date is damn soon and I figured I should get my ass in gear and apply for the marriage license. Turns out there is a new administration in our town an the person who used to be the registrar, and whom I knew, is no longer there. So I go about trying to find out who is it so I could be sure I had everything I needed to get the license and to be sure someone would be there.

I called last Monday morning, found out who it was and had to leave a voice mail. Tuesday i hadn't heard back, so I call again...voice mail and a second message. Getting more annoyed I call Tuesday afternoon, finally she answers. I confirm the stuff I need and ask if it was ok to come in on Wednesday with the man and my mom, cause we needed a witness (cause suddenly a driver's license is not a concrete piece of identification?). The woman says that would be fine and if she isn't there someone would be able to help me.

Wednesday we go in around 1:30, the time I told the registrar I would come in, and she isn't there. I have to asked 3 people who it is who could help us. A woman comes out of the tax office and says she can help out. We fill out everything, confirm the info and she tells me to come back Monday or Tuesday to pick it up.

Tuesday I decide to go pick up the license during my lunch hour. Thinking I just need to run in and pick it up. Yeah, I was wrong. I go to the office and the registrar is not there, as usual. A woman at a desk tells me that the license is typed up but IT ISN'T SIGNED!!!!! and the registrar is out of the office until after two, which is when I need to be back at work. So I said I didn't think she would need to be here, I was told I could just pick it up. They said well when are you done work, I said 5:00 and they said oh yeah we are closed by then so that isn't good. Finally a woman says she would leave a note for the registrar to sign the form so that I could pick it up on Wednesday. So I leave irritated because it should have been signed adn having to come back again is f-in ridiculous.

So I go back today. Again during my lunch hour. And you know what, the registrar WASN'T THERE! Surprised huh? So the woman who helped me last week was able to get into her office and date the license and give it to me. So I head home.

When I get home I look at the license because I noticed in the office that the woman wrote our social security numbers on the back and then she put an arrow to indicate that the numbers should be swapped. So I was curious as to why she did that.

This is when I almost exploded in anger. Upon my closer look at the license I discover that the farking registrar switch all the information around and it was in the wrong spaces, so it said I was the groom and the man was the bride! So I basically had a completely invalid license. So I tried calling the offices and, of course, no one answers their phones. So I had to go back to show them that they were farking idiots and that I needed a new license. The woman who helped me didn't look too surprised that it was messed up and rolled her eyes and gave an irritated sigh. I told her that this has been the only part in the wedding planning that has been a total pain the ass.

So she went to get another form, and asked where my street was. I told her and she said, well I can't sit here right now and type this out because I have to go pick up my son, and I can't sign it anyway so I have to wait for the registrar to come back to give it to you anyway. So she said she would drop it off at my house tonight. Finally someone who is helpful and wiling to fix their retardedness.

And that has honestly been the most stress inducing part of the whole wedding planning. It has totally put me in a rage this week.

Portrait of a killer...

A SQUEAKY TOY KILLER!!!!!oh the horror!!!

Holy crap

I just saw an article about a woman who is pregnant with her 18th kid. 18th!!!
It's a family who had a tv show on TLC, the Duggers.

I mean I am all for having kids, but 18!

I mean geez her cervix probably doesn't even close any more. No wonder they have so many with such easy access. Is her uterus down to her knees?! Cause after that many pregnancies the stuff inside can't possible hold up as well. After 3 my mom's uterus just gave out and decided to rest on her bladder. So I can't fathom how after 18 pregnancies hers isn't waving the white flag.

In total she has been pregnant for 11 years. I can't even imagine. Just the thought of it makes me tired.

the digital age...

What is it about a new camera that makes the lunatic I am marrying go nuts and try to take a pic of me in the shower. I mean I am standing there shaving the girlie bits and a flash goes off over my head. WTF?
He didn't get anything I basically hugged the curtain, but still!

Our little patch of dirt...

IS NOW BEING COVERED IN GRASS!!!!!!

more pics to come I am sure.
The man is at home "supervising" and sending pics









Update

GRASS

I came into work for this?

I think the idiot sales guy in the office is clipping his toe nails in his office....*shiver*

Just the clipping sound makes me want to hurl.

This is what is sounds like....

when doves cry (parrots scream)....




This is the sound track of my house. Only multiply it by 2 and have it play for 2 hours straight.

No where near Prince music.
