Whippets!
Is there really anymore I need to say?
Okay, maybe, but I will keep it short. Mycle, my bestest friend in the whole wide world, came over and brought 3 cases of them. Now my lungs hurt and my head is cloudy and I love everyone.
He gave me a Whippet Master too so I could forgo the Crackers and Balloons for the time being.
I love Mycle.

Well, the job thing hasn't been so bad, and I am really looking forward to having lotsa money come Christmas time. I liek all the people I work with, and I don't work with anyone who triggers my major inferiority complex, so it isn't too bad. Plus, the "professional" dress code turned out to be business casual so I don't have to wear pantyhose everyday, I just can't wear jeans. So far all I have done is observe people and fill out paperwork and do this huge manual/workbook type thing. Who knows, I might even start to love this job, but I am not gettign my hopes up just yet, because the hours still kind of suck. At least they are going to give me Sunday and Monday off each week.
In other news, Medicaid has screwed up my insurance and I probably screwed myself out of even having it next month since I missed an appointment because I had to go to work. The whole federal assistance thing is so screwed up. Yuo get a paper telling you when to arrive at the office. Only sometimes you get it the day before you are supposed to be there. If they are having a really good week, you get the paper the day after the appointment. Trying to get a call through to your caseworker is about as simple as curing cancer and then they are mad at you for not contacting them. Aaarrrggghhh!
Well, that is all the exciting news I have for y'all today. Hurry back soon!

Stressy day around here today!!!
No money makes for a bad mood. I feel like a bad mom 'cause I bribed my boy to be good at school and then almost couldn't make good on it. I need a printer cartridge and can't afford it and my sweet hubby's birthday is tomorrow and I can't do much for him. Shit sucks. I start my dreaded J-O-B on Monday and it will come on the heels of this shitty weekend and I won't have the $$$ for lunch and I will be cranky and starving and everyone will find out that I am just a poor white trash chick pretending to be a real person with nice clothes and stuff. I hate it when I am at work and I have to always decline on the invite to go out to lunch because I am poor and don't want anyone to know it. They always end up thinking I am stuck up or hate them or whatever. Or when I can't go to the little retreat because my car won't make it, or when they want to go out after work for drinks and my husband will throw a fit about it so I don't go to keep the peace. After a while my husband will think I want him to make 30,000 a year like the guys I work with and I will begin to feel left out of the work social scene because he feels threatened and someone will find out that we are so poor I have to go to the food bank on a regular basis and not just to boost the amount of food we have, it is the only food. I hate that always make up lies about it because I am ashamed of my life. I hate having to pay so much for professional clothes because I am fat and I hate always looking like crap because I am fat and it wouldn't matter if I had the outfit custom tailored, it would still look like it was on a short fat chick with bad skin. I hate my fucking life. I am feeling liek a whiney bitch today, can you tell I have PMS?

So, not much has changed since yesterday, I still dread going to work and the assorted madness that accompanies it. However I am not feeling as manic about it right now. I guess that is a side effect of the whole bi-polar thing tho' and I should probably be used to it by now (after all, it has only been a part of my life for about 15 years now!) but sometimes it sneaks up on you. Anyway, I have sort-of come to terms with it.
I had to go to the food bank today. I went to the Salvation Army one tho, and it wasn't too bad. The nice man there gave me a voucher to go somewhere called my sister's closet where I can get 3 out fits of work clothes and they carry big sizes and designer stuff. I also got a voucher for clothes for everyone from the Salvation Army store. Hopefully I can get the boy a new used coat. I think I will hit the other banks tomorrow and try to get enough food for next week, at least I can get plenty of side dishes to go with the tons of burger I have in my fridge. Maybe I could get my mom to buy some other kind of meat in bulk!
Anyway, things are rockin'
Ciao

SO I got a job...Maybe
I have to go to a preliminary tryout, meet the company thing for 2 days, and then if they like me, I will get to be a true member of the daily grind, rat fucking race and my nice comfy mentally stable life can go to shit. I started the Zoloft again, just in case, and I guess I can work and be normal and everything for awhile, and if I can't have an orgasm, it's just too f-ing bad. I don't want to work. I don't want the house to look like shit because my husbands job is harder than mine and he won't help me and I am too tired to do it. I don't want a stranger helping my son with his homework at some daycare facillity. I don't want to park my crappy 1988 rusted out station wagon between two Lexuses. I don't want to wear pantyhose everyday to work in a call center where nobody ever sees me. I don't want to work Saturdays. I don't want my husband to deal with my bad day at work by fucking a crackwhore. I don't want to lose my Medicaid. All of this isn't worh $200 dollars a week after taxes and daycare, but if I don't take it, I am a bitch. I guess I will keep you posted, If I don't off myself first.

I have a new kitty! My sister in law brought me a little raggedly kitten that was half starved and blinded by his crusty eye stuff. Apparenlty the mama got run over and his siblings all died and his "owner" was going to drown it if it was still alive by dawn. I cleaned him up and fed him and he is so sweet. His name is Ozzy unless he is a girl then his name will be Luna (the sex is hard to tell, since he has long black fur, but the vet is coming monday, hopefully he can let us know) I am so excited!! He is only about 4 weeks old and was really pathertic when he arrived, but is now wandering around sniffing things with my big kitties

I feel like crap. I think I may have the West Nile Virus, but it is probably just a hangover from the flu/sinus thing I am fighting with a huge antibiotic pill every morning. Anyway, this is short and sweet, nothing going on, noting on the horizon, blah blah blah.
I will write more later, especially if the dinner we have turns out okay. Then I leave the recipe

It is a year after the 9/11 tragedy, and I really don't have anything to say about it. It is beyond my comprehension still, so I am not going to touch on it further.
Wow, so it has been a few days, but we have had the flu, and the broken car and the general crappiness 'round here. On the upside, the lack of car means I get to drive my mama's new Ford Explorer. CD player and sunroof, it even has that luxury I have so often gone without on my car-BRAKES! I love it and have been basically pissing people off with my incredibly loud Motley Crue blaring out the windows. It is a beautiful day and I hope all have enjoyed it.

Metal Sludge - Sex, Sludge & Rock N Roll This site fucking rocks!!! If you haven't gone there, go there. If you love 80's metal or hate metal, you will dig this crazy shit.
Speaking of crazy shit, and I was, I just got home from seeing a little show by a little guy named Steve O. For those who have been locked in the closet with no cable for a year, he is the sidekick guy from MTV;s Jackass. I saw this guy puke, blow snot, snort salt up his fucking nose, light his head on fire, and shoot a staple or 2 thru his ballsack. Yes, you heard right-HE STAPLED HIS NUTSACK!! That is some fucked up shit.
To top it off and make it the coolest night ever, we got to sit in the VIP section!!! Apparently my sweet friend Mycle had arrived pretty early and was invited to sit there, eat bar snacks, and DRINK FOR FREE! I don't really drink so much anymore, and didn't tonight, but the husband was one happy alcoholic!
It was pretty cool, since I never go out and had to skip out on another VIP type experience at another local drinking establishment since I was invirted by the singer of the worlds best dive bar cover band. I even had a reserved table, but Mycle had bought the tix for SteveO, so I went there. He owes me now tho, since I could have been the queen of the Party at the other thing.
Anyway, buy SteveO's tour DVD and see if I am on it.

Hello Again, It is a slow news day here in the midwest. Did anyone else see that they have found that Biggie was involved in Tupac's shooting? Wow, that must have required vast seconds of thought on the part of the investigators. I say...DUH! Okay, just my thought on the current event of the moment

Okay, everyone needs to get out there and update thier sites! Okay, only the ones I read daily, since I have really nothing better to do and I really wanna see something new. I am seriously in an internet rut, since I go to the same 5 sites and then get bored with it. Judy took down her journal, which sucks because she was fab and always had a bunch of drama happening, and I haven't found a suitable replacement. So if anyone knows of a cool journal, that is a hip person with bunches of drama, let me know. Thanks.

WEll, I finally got the house clean, so I bought myself a new Elle Magazine!. Browsing through it, I swear, I am such a label-whore. This isn't a good thing since we are pretty much dirt poor. I love Goodwill though, especially since I got a PRADA bag there last fall for $20 (It's great when they don't know what they have) But Elle has tons of new stuff I want for fall. Not that I will get it, but I want it anyway. Bebe and D&G and Fendi. I am still longing for spring's cute quilted Chanel bag with the handcuff handle though, so I guess I should hold off on a new list until I work out that one. LOL, I have a $150 dollar car and I want a $650 purse. I am silly! Well, gotta run...

Such a busy weekend!!! Had my kid, mom and husband home for 3 days!!! got absolutley nada done to the house. Tha laundry has taken over the house and the dishes were overflowing the sink! Finally got the guys to work and school and my mom took the day off on tuesday!!! Was totally up my hiney for the entire day! Hopefully, I will get the house done tomorrow. Have I mentioned my car? It is a 88 Chevy Cavalier and I call it "The Vaccuum" cause it sux. When I get out of it after driving somewhere I have to physically restrain myself from hitting it with a sledgehammer, I hate it so bad! People who don't have cars make fun of my car. Riding the bus would be less embarrassing! But the hubby has to be at work at 6:30 am and the busses don't run that early, so I have to drive it.Well, I think my rant is over now, return to your daily lives.
