Good Time @ MindSay

Well, socKs is out of town for the next few days on business -- which means it's just av and myself holding down the fort.  No, we're not going on an adventure to Tijuana or getting matching tattoos this time around. (We've learned our lesson from past experiences.)  Instead, we're living it up -- but in a much more tame way.

Last night I picked him up from pre-school -- and we had a special dinner at chilly's*. 'Twas fun.  Good food (quesadilla, a veggie peppercorn burger and fries), good atmosphere, and a great view of the speed bump in the parking lot -- something which fascinated Av when he saw cars and trucks go over it.

And then we went home -- where a package from Amazon.com was waiting for me.  My new toy.

My Fellowes P-57Cs.  Which was on-sale.  And which I've been waiting with anticipation.

My new cross-cut paper-shredder.

Here's the thing:  We were cleaning the house this weekend -- part of which involved me taking out our cheap-o strip-shredder I bought from Target several years ago. It's slow and clunky, and I felt that the strips of paper it produced were not nearly as discouraging as they should be.  (When it comes down to it -- the smaller the pieces, the harder it is to put everything back together again. Although it's still possible to re-create any document given the right amount of time and resources.)

Anyway -- Av got a kick out of the shredder.  He liked being able to feed it sheet after sheet of paper -- to the extent where I had to watch and make sure that he was only reaching in to the "shred box" rather than other stuff which was important.

So -- we got this one yesterday. And had a rockin' good time.


The future CFO at work!


The aftermath.  Although you can still make out at least one phone number...

I wonder what fun we'll have in store this evening...

* Yes. I know it's spelled wrong. But it's more fun to think of it as a restaurant owned by a member of the WTF Crew,

"its so nice to breathe, and i wake up knowing that i am free"

i wrote that little intro line the other day..believe it or not, i used to write music...i wasnt very good, but i love words so sitting down to write a couple lines was always a rejuvinating activity. i would write the words first, and then i would write the piano music to go along...

lol, like i said, i wasnt very good..but it was fun...and so i think i might try it again now that i seem to have some extra time on my hands..i love time. time is like the greatest and scarriest blessing we could ever be given..if we do nothing with our time then we are wasting something that is more important than the food on our tables! if we spend our time wisely then the greatest blessings will come out of our efforts, but if we choose to do nothing valuable with our time then it is like letting millions of children starve to death  when we have loads and loads of food waiting to be served!

good ol'time. it is our friend; it is our enemy.

its strange, you know...time in general is a very interesting thought.  no one can really descibe it, and no one can tame it. no one can hold it back, and no one can push it forward. its like that old song "time just marches on" and on and on and on...

enought of this time theory. i think im off to a nap now.

good luck, God bless, and Godspeed!

let's be doers and not watchers only...do something wise today and you will be called wise tomorrow:-)

I am in need of a good nights sleep.  Been staying up to pick up my son who started a second shift job and gets done at 11, giving me an 11:30 bedtime, and Joey still needs to get up bright and early every morning.  On top of limited sleep time, I'm not sleeping well either, stomach issues, ugh. 

Joey has started being demanding about his tv time, he never wants to watch what is on at the time, but wants to watch it later when it isn't on, ugh, trying child.

In other news, I'm floating away..........

            Today was soooo cool.(god that sounded so preppy...*gag*)

first I went to school...well that sucked, but whatever. Then I got home and had to rush to work like I always do...and normally I don't look forward to that..but Erynn had said yesturday that she'd come see me. And I was so happy because she came and stayed for 2 hours waiting for me to get off! that was so cool.

           Brian(my ex boyfriend) came in about an hour after she got there and they started to talk while I did my work. Then I got off and they were still there so we all sat there talking for anther 45 minutes then walked home to my house. That was the most fun I've had in a while...we were all being perverted and very, very random and so we were almost rolling on the floor laughing our asses off...it was so great. lol. 

           Brian then left once we got there and Erynn stayed in my room and we got on the computer. While we were playing on the computer-this is the best part :P- Erynn laid down and cuddled up next to me with her head on my shoulder while she surfed the internet(using one hand...she was too lazy to sit up and use both. lol). After a while I put my arm around her and it was all cozy and good..except I didn't leave it there long because I didn't want my dad or someone else to walk in, which sucked. I seriously wanted to kiss her then though. lol. It's so cool dating a girl because I can have her in my room with the door shut(not to do anything perverted you perverts..lol.)....which I can't have with a guy...they couldn't even come over let alone go in my room.

Hello blog,

I missed you so. The hole that was in my life just opened up and sallowed me and not it has spat me out.

Just kidding.. how are you all?

I've been thinking about what to write for my first blog in ages and it was going to be something that someone said to me the other day about ugly wives. Then it was going to be about the differences between England and America. Then it was going to be a well composed verse about something in particular.

This is not how it was supposed to turn out.

A bunch of jumbled shit that means absolutley nothing to anyone. No funny witticisms, no profound post.

Northstar... you know, the resident bible bashing freak, who incidentally I blocked a long time ago, has returned with a vengeance against the devil and with a forthright view about everything in life as long as you have welcomed God and the forthcoming event of some 2007 year old who has been dead for a good stretch of time, once more is to rise again from the dead.

Anyway, what the fuck is that all about? (rhetorical question, I'm really not interested in the slightest) Jesus' second coming. Fucking freakazoids. Hands up who thinks Jesus is really coming back from the dead, just because you get on your knees every day and talk to yourselves....

Well, I have news for you. If I'm wrong, then please, higher being, whatever you are, strike me down right now!

Anyone?....

No...

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough....

....




Oh fuck! I'm still here.

I think the answer is, that someone is praying for me, therefore has saved my life through the power of talking to themselves... Fucking Wankers!!! Why waste your time on me?

Well, Northstar and his band of merry men can go on wasting their time in praying to your God and prepare for the return of the fucking messiah for all I care, just don't do it around me and don't try to convert me away from my satanic verses. Stay the fuck away from me. I have had religion up to here, and I'm tall, so believe me, I've had enough of it.

I used to get bothered about the sons of bitches around here that have built a church on every street corner, now, everytime I see a church it reminds me of how stupid people really are around here. How they make their pledge to be good people and live by the bible. Good luck to you, because I haven't got time for you, for one and for two, don't waste my life by talking to me about it, waste yours all you like, but if you want to get pissed off with me and irate because I'm a realist and have dreams of my own to chase, then good luck to you, you fire away.

Expect me to stand there and listen? Fuck off....

I'd rather your lord almighty came down and took me away... but then again, it's your turn first... he only takes the good ones doesn't he???
