His Mom is out of town for a week and 2 days. I must pretend to be a responsible adult for this amount of time. He'll get kibble, but no rice krispie treats, crackerjacks, bread, cheerios, or Poppycock. He's gonna be skinny when she gets back.
I'm assuming she will be back. She's off riding a rubber boat down the Colorado River for a few days. Dumb Bitch.
In the meantime, Lucy and I are sitting here IM'ing each other for old time's sake rather than talking or other things. Geeeze, we need lives.
I'm going to ask her if she's ready to go to bed now, I'm tired and must be up and alert to feed the dogs in the morning. Ok, not so much, but it sounded really dramatic didn't it?

Damn Hormones anyway
I was so proud, I got through the week(s) leading up to my period without getting all crazy. I started. I'm a day away from being done and the hormone train hit me upside the uterus. When the fuck did the rules change? I didn't get a memo. Body and I apparently need to have a long chat because this shit ain't cool.
Yesterday I was ready to rip somebody's head off, and I had a candidate in mind, I just couldn't think clearly enough to do it and hide the body right away. I like to have a plan so I don't end up in the Big House.
Today, I was calm but emotional. I did have a great time out with The Widow and Princess this evening, but damn.

Sigh.... I want to so bad
Puppies and kittens, puppies and kittens, pussies and puppies......
Drama.
Much.
Don't like.
Need tinfoil hat and rake.
Must sleep.

Guitars and Memories
I've picked up a guitar a couple of times lately, that hasn't happened in years. I was out smoking, thinking about when I used to sit on the porch and play, but it's too wet to do that tonight.
I taped a song, tuned my guitar to it, and played it over and over until I got it to impress a girl many, many years ago. It worked. Later, I was sorry it did.
Lucy has asked why I've never played for her. I've told her I haven't played in years, and I wasn't very good when I did.
I quit playing long before I met her.
I guess I need to learn to play a song for her. I don't think it'll be a mistake this time.

Lucy was surrounded
She went out front to make a phone call and came in screaming a bit later. Apparently there was an army of cave crickets (3 of them) creeping up and surrounding her. She freaked. She swears the one behind her was gonna trip her while the others overtook and stole her cellphone. She says I didn't see the look in their eyes, they were gonna call Canada on her phone.
Isn't she lucky she has me to point out the giant flying cockroach waiting for her just over the doorway?

Useless
Finally, the useless piece of shit I purchased at the last Bartender Contest I attended. Martini mixes, or something like that anyway. Just another thing found in The Room what will be finding a new home or Dumpster any day now.
I know the money was for charity, but WTF was I thinking?
Reflections on Women
It amazes me. Women are strange. (Yes, I know everyone already knows that, but it's so different in each instance I just don't understand.) Maybe it's the more we learn the stupider we get, I dunno.
I'm talking specifically about our little group. The Widow, Ms. Fan, Ms. Sweet, Annie, Lucy and I.
Ms. Fan has a boyfriend who lives in another state, he visits, he doesn't want to meet any of us, fine.
Ms. Sweet doesn't have anyone in her life, but she has other activities to keep her busy.
The Widow has Boytoy, and that's moving too fast for the rest of us.
Annie can't decide which side of the fence she's on (and that's ok.)
Lucy and I just are.
Our dynamics have changed a whole lot over the last year or so. Ms. Sweet is sniping at Ms. Fan, and the other way around. None of us are happy with what's going on with The Widow and Boytoy because he doesn't want her to hang out with us.
We still see each other and everything is cool, but there's the undercurrent of things not right where everything once was JUST right. Know what I mean?
It was great that we, as a group, could just hang out and all was cool. Now there's drama here or there, and it's not cool anymore. I'm explaining it badly, but there it is.
Is this normal? Did I miss "Understanding Women and Relationships 101?"
Yes, I've been out drinking with The Widow and Boytoy this afternoon. Things aren't like they used to be, and I miss that. Help me out Purse People.

Huh, It's Friday
I got out of work early since it's a holiday weekend and all, and nobody told me till the last minute. I've got mountains of shit I want to say, and nothing to say at the same time. Fucked up ain't it?
I was happy last night when I told Baby Sis we had Tina tickets, they weren't awesome, but at least we got seats, she was so excited. That's good.
Some of the other shit I found while cleaning, tickets to see Poison (Baby Sis's first concert), Aerosmith, which I took her to because Joan Jett was opening, Joan was awesome, Aerosmith, not so much, but we had a fun night.
She's like my kid, I raised her for the first few years of her life because Mom worked nights so we could eat. Middle Sis took care of her during her later years, then it was my turn again when she turned 15. She's turned out ok I think. She's a good Mom, not so much a good daughter, but who am I to judge? We get along, unlike some other people I know, DAD, and until I teach Spawn to flip off his teachers, we'll be fine. I'm lucky in lots of ways, just not the lottery way. DAMMIT.

Pockets
I noticed on whatever meme I stole, most people don't have pockets. Ya'll must have purses, cuz everything is in my pockets. An inventory just for the hell of it.
Shirt: Cigarettes, chapstick, ink pen, reading glasses.
In lieu of shirt pockets, I wear cargo pants, all of the above goes in the right lower pocket.
Jeans: Watch pocket (right) Zippo, lower pocket, keys, sometimes a spare mini butane.
Left front: Change, Bloodstone, Mini Leatherman, Pink Case Knife, 2 flash drives.
Right back: Wallet, sometimes checkbook.
Left back: Cash
Yes, I'm a dyke, leave me alone.

It's Wednesday right?
I took yesterday morning off to do some personal stuff, including a haircut since I was waiting for Wal-Hell and my usual place was a street over. Mrs. Asshole (who has already pissed me off about wanting to color my hair and other shit) noticed today that I didn't show up at her overpriced SALON to get my hair cut. Her exact words, "You got a haircut, Bitch. I'll be back Tuesday, come by and I'll fix it."
Nope, not endearing herself to me. I see nothing wrong with my hair, I'm of the shower, mousse, brush and out the door variety, I like it just fine.
She's been of the "Interrupting my reading so we can chat variety lately." I don't care, leave me alone. I have a book in a bar for a reason, I can't smoke in the house, it's cool, and there's beer. I like that. Leave me the fuck alone.

I'm a NARC
I didn't know this. I told the owner of The Dive that things weren't going right with credit cards back in December, he blew it off. Guess what?
Apparently people are pissed about paying their bills. Oh well.
Annie and I put up the dartboard in the spare room that we've talked about forever. Yay us. She finally cleaned up the room enough to allow this.
I have dead Sister's boombox that was in that room, still, I think it's time to get rid of it, but still.
I'm such a pussy.

No More I Love You's
Annie Lennox, great cd.
I cleaned house last night and found my container for concert tickets. Melissa Etheridge, Tina Turner...it was a rotation of those for a bit. Elton, Billy Joel, local music festival, Memphis In May, Nasvhille River Stages, yeah.
I got tickets for Tina today from Tickuntmaster. I hate them.
"Best" seats are nosebleeds at sale time? And you're gonna charge me extra to send them? FUCK YOU. If Baby Sis and Lucy didn't want to go, I'd tell you to shove them up your arse.
I've seen Tina multiple times, each show was awesome. I told Baby Sis when Tina was doing the farewell tour I'd take her if she ever did another. (I thought I was safe).
So, here I am, Tina in Atlanta in November, and I'm buying tickets now why?
I thought I'd have to talk Babysis into it too, I said Tina and Tour and she's all about wanting to go. YAY.
Duffy--Warwick Avenue, much better.
I should take my ass to bed.
Sentence of my day "I want to thank you for being honest".

Damn cell phone pic, but it still works
I just don't know how anyone can stand this much adorableness in one place. We had a great day.
Mom and Lucy gave me shit about being old all day. Mom had a blast doing that. Spawn and I played, now I feel old. I'm tired as hell.

Lucy's score revisited
She was at 71% without me. She's lucky we met.
She would have gone to her grave not knowing what a shart was. I think my job here is done.

Lucy's Score, Imagine that
You Are 63% Pure |
 You're pretty pure, and you have no plans on changing that. You do have a devilish side though... and it will probably get the better of you. |
Was There Ever Any Doubt?
You Are 30% Pure |
 Pure? Sure, you're about as pure as yellow snow. You're a downright devil. But you're also a pretty delightful one! |

Another concert
We saw Karla Bonoff tonight. Awesome show once it finally got going. 3 songs into her set the fire alarms started going off. Flashing lights and "WEE OOO, WEE OOO" got old pretty quick. Obviously we were all worried, she finished the song, made some jokes about what was going on until we found out a duct malfunction set everything off. Yeah, nobody was stampeding out of there. About 35 minutes later everything is ok, we have air again, and the show resumed. It was well worth the wait. Home now, waiting for Lucy to call to tell me she got home and then it's bedtime. Hope ya'll had a good night too.

And only $175.

Yes, I'm a Dumbass, why do you ask?
It was Monday....all.fucking.day. I went to The Dive to chill out, and there was more stupidity in a 3 square foot area than even I could deal with, and those were my "friends." (Actually, acquaintances, they chose me.)
I came home early and talked to Mom, and yeah, the fact that I'm a dumbass started there.
I did stuff, watched some tv, Lucy called...and I became a Dumbass with a certificate.
I THINK I know what I said, but well, it could have been any number of things. She was excited about something that may get screwed up on her end, I was "yeah ok, whatever" on my end.....That's why I've been certified.
I think I'll take my dumb ass to bed because I really don't sleep enough.

Mother's Day
I got tickets for a play Lucy wanted to see, not realizing they were for today, OOPS! I offered mine to Mom, but she wouldn't have it so Lucy, Annie and I saw this today. It was raunchy, tacky and totally fucking hilarious, I'm glad I went. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. One of my favorite lines, "Rendezvous....that's French for they're gonna fuck."
Dinner at Friday's followed since we hit the matinee and were almost late because trying to get those 2 ready to go somewhere is like herding cats sometimes, and I still have free food tickets from all those Friday's points I've accumulated over the years. I had the roasted red pepper sausage and chicken penne, it was good, but the inside of my mouth now tastes like 6 months of unwashed ass. I'm home, needing to see if I have something to wear to work tomorrow. Lucy had to go back home so it'll be a quiet night.
Ya'll have a good one, and Happy Mother's Day to those of you with offspring.

Dinner and storms
Lucy brought porterhouse steaks, we now have a cow in the fridge because none of us could eat more that a quarter of what we had. I'm miserable, my stomach hurts, and it's about to storm like hell so I need to find a cigar and get outside.
Ya'll have a good night.

Note to Annie
Please don't comb The Handsome Devil and leave his fleas (that he shouldn't have) in the toilet. I feel sorry for them floating around on their little doggie hair rafts... for about 2 seconds, then I flush them.

Bunches o' shit
Are ya'll having trouble with blogger sending you e-mail comments? I just noticed I'm not getting them all, so if I missed one, I apologize, I usually go by what I get in mail and then reply inappropriately. (That SOUNDED pretentious, but if you read this shit you know I'm anything but, I just don't re-read every day, but I like to reply to comments so, yeah, now I'm babbling.)
Annie and I went to Ms. Fan's house to put together the solar cover for the pool today. Lucy came by for a bit on her way back to Nashville (I'm sure I'll get around to that mess) Workout Buddy showed up, things got done.
Ms. Fan has lamented the fact that she and Male Man couldn't put the cover (reel for the cover) together last spring to speed up the swimming season so Annie volunteered us to do it this year because we'd really like to get in the pool soon.
After the initial "The instructions make no fucking sense" stage, we figured it out and Annie helped Workout Buddy and Ms. Fan clean up while I assembled the piece of shit, and ultimately, the area was beautiful and cover was in place.
It was actually a very nice, relaxing afternoon, even though my back hurts like a mother from all the bending over. Hot tub also got cleaned and will be ready to jump into tomorrow, my back and I may be heading over there after work.
Hope ya'll had a good Sunday too.
Oh yeah, I wore shorts today, white legs and all, yay for warmer weather.
Annie and I went to Ms. Fan's house to put together the solar cover for the pool today. Lucy came by for a bit on her way back to Nashville (I'm sure I'll get around to that mess) Workout Buddy showed up, things got done.
Ms. Fan has lamented the fact that she and Male Man couldn't put the cover (reel for the cover) together last spring to speed up the swimming season so Annie volunteered us to do it this year because we'd really like to get in the pool soon.
After the initial "The instructions make no fucking sense" stage, we figured it out and Annie helped Workout Buddy and Ms. Fan clean up while I assembled the piece of shit, and ultimately, the area was beautiful and cover was in place.
It was actually a very nice, relaxing afternoon, even though my back hurts like a mother from all the bending over. Hot tub also got cleaned and will be ready to jump into tomorrow, my back and I may be heading over there after work.
Hope ya'll had a good Sunday too.

Lottery and sundry
Lucy informed me she's been using my age as our Powerball number for awhile, I didn't know this. Since I aged, that's not going to work now. Fuckers.
After we discussed this I told her to use 40 since Middle Sis will be 40 this year.
Lucy almost forgot about the ticket since her life has been less than stellar this week. She pulled off the interstate to pick up that ticket today on her way here when she remembered because she said we'd both be pissed if it hit. Powerball was 40 tonight. We didn't get anything to go with it, but still.
After a few dart games Lucy went to get hamburger meat for dinner since that's what Annie wanted (it's her birthday and all) and was gone, and gone, and I'm calling to make sure she didn't get carjacked gone. She was picking out the perfect flowers for me, and the perfect fern for Annie, and she's in fucking Kroger, come on.
It turned out well, but damn, we were sitting here starving waiting on the hamburger meat to show up, she coulda put that in a taxi and it would have been cooked by the time she got back.
Dinner was good and I'm tired. Night kids.

I'm still dead
I called today to find out why I'm dead. I got AJ, very nice individual from somewhere other than Alabama.
Me: "AJ, I got rejected because I'm dead."
AJ: "Are you saying you are deceased?"
Me: "That's what ya'll are telling me, I didn't get the memo."
AJ: "Then we just need to confirm your identity."
Me: "Cool, let's get to it."
Aj: "Ok, your previous residence was this address, can you give me the number and zip code?"
Me: "Ok, it was this number and I think this zip."
WRONG!!!!!!
AJ: "Can you find the correct zip code for that address?"
Me: "Sure, hang on (I googled) gave him the correct zip.
AJ: "Can you tell me your address for this street?"
Me: "I probably could if I ever lived there, but I didn't."
AJ: "Since we are unable to confirm your identity, you need to call this number."
Ok, called that one, automated, I hate that shit. How is automated going to fix me when AJ in Somalia couldn't help me?
Automated is sending me a paper copy of my credit report (to be processed in the next 15 days) so I can go to my local credit bureau and straighten this shit out.
I fucking hate the internets (Thanks Al Gore.)
