I thought we had something...

I know I'm semi-late on this but just cut me some slack. I've been busy and you know I'm doing it all for you. No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. I love you, my one reader. You are the air that I breath. For realsies.

I was having *a* day on Friday. First off my phone took a crap on me which hurt because I thought what we had was special. How dare my phone just give up on "us" without a fight. Seriously, I mean I may not be emotionally there as much as I should be but at the very least I thought I'd get a warning. I can do better enV Touch, I can and I'll prove it. Just give me a chance.

As if having to borrow the obsolete piece of crap phone I gave up for my enV wasn't a big enough blow... Brody wasn't where he was suppose to be after school.

Boot up bitchy mom mode. I left work 15 minutes early just so I could get to him, and get up to Express to pick up my 2nd job paycheck. You know the one that I worked the Kansas Relays for? The same one I took vaca from the day job to earn? The one that was going to save us this "prom" month? Yea, that check.

I drove all over Lawrence to find the boy which killed off that early 15 minutes I had and barely made it to Express before they closed just to find that I had been shorted 21.5 hours on my check. Yea! 21.5 hours! That's huge! I was already depressed about my phone, pissed at the boy & then this? The end of the month is not a time to fuck with my money. Actually no time is a good time to fuck with my money but especially more so at the end of the month. My ex-husband is still learning this fact, sadly. "How soon can you fix this?" I asked. "Oh well it won't be any earlier than Wednesday." Wait... what? I have to wait until MAY 4th for you to fix my APRIL 28th paycheck? Grawr! Fine!

So now I'm depressingly phoneless, in bitchy mom mode, and broke. I really could use a drink. Amirite? Hawks was able to get Verizon in Lawrence to fix my phone - Yay! However the battery was tapped & instead of being able to mobile facebook/tweet my thoughts, feelings, rage - I had to leave it to sit on the charger. Blah! Fine! F-U phone. F-U you can stay home.

The highlight of my night, the make everything better happifications: Lawrence Final Fridays. This is the only guaranteed time that I can actually hang out with people I truly like that I wish I had more time with. Srsly.

Even though I was phoneless, pissy & pathetic I took my ass to Quinton's to hang with my favorite artist, Leo and his equally awesome other half, Elizabeth. Margaritas came & went. Good times & laughter prevailed over a very crappy Friday. I even made a couple new friends. One guy I barely remember & Carole of the Party. Yes, I'm dubbing her that full title. She's earned it.

So yup that's it. I'll blog about disc golf tomorrow or something. Hopefully I'll have a doodle for it. If not, oh well.

All the happiness in the world...

All the happiness in the world can’t buy you money!

Okay so mayhaps that's not the saying but I like it my way better, "All the happiness in the world can't buy you money!"

It's been a rough month and we're only 2 weeks into this 4 week, (or is it 5 weeks this year?) month from hell. Firstly, I ended up with a kidney stone and no insurance. Have you ever had a kidney stone? I don't recommend them at all, seriously if you can avoid it, don't try this at home. Not only did I literally have to pee like every two seconds (you think I'm exaggerating, I'm not) but then the lower back/side pain came & well, I don't handle internal pain well. Like at all! It makes me all kinds of nauseous. Doctor visit #1 diagnosed a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) and on antibiotics I went. Four days later & I'm still not better & now I have pain, insert doctor visit #2 where we determine that I must have had a UTI but the antibiotics killed that & now we think it's a stone. Pain meds FTW! I'm better now, a lot better! Woooo!

Then we had the 17 year old's birthday extravaganza. At what age do we realize that cash is the way to go rather than flashy things to impress our friends? Seriously, show me the money! That wasn't the case with her. She wanted a limo. A LIMO! Well she got it but now she has to eat table scraps on the floor with the dog for the next 6 months. I'm kidding. She's being fed just well thank you very much. This birthday limo picked her & her "VIPs" up from the high school, detoured down Mass Street, and then delivered them to Backfire BBQ at the Legends for dinner & shenanigans. Then picked up & dropped back off at the high school. Most expensive taxi ever! Gosh! I sure hope her friends were impressed. I mean really, wasn't that the point?

The following Friday, my Laloo (yellow 2001 Ford Focus) decided that after 5 years of dedicated & only slightly rebellious service that it was going to plan a mutiny by causing the clip to break on my accelerator/throttle cable and attempt to shoot me 60+ mph into other cars. Little did it know that I still had the keys & shut that bastard off! Yea, who is getting the last laugh now Laloo? WHO?! Into the shop it went and that's where it still sits today because after the $300 cable issue was fixed, it croaked by way of catalytic converter suicide. That was the only way I had to do my completely ridiculous 70 mile round-trip commute back & forth to work everyday. After the rental car, I decided I hate the Toyota Yaris. Stupidest dash design ever! Anyways after seeing the bill of approximately $1700 to try to revive the Laloo, we decided I needed to get a new car - R.I.P Laloo.

Now I am the proud owner of this:

I shall name her the Batmobile. Don't get all huffy because she's not a black Batmobile "Tumbler" like in the movies. Seriously you know that car isn't a practical commuter. Just be honest, as bad ass as the "real" Batmobile is, the gas mileage on the highway would be financial doom. Consider mine the Batmobile Commuter Edition #1 circa 2008. I love her with all my heart and just as soon as I can get my grubby little paws on one, there will be a bat sticker on her tinted and beautiful rear window, cause that's how *I* like to roll!

Oh yea and somewhere in the above text I should have mentioned that I broke my back tooth (still dealing with that, ugh!) and I'm currently building a website for a client and it gives me headaches.

Whew! Is it November yet?
