Mortgaging My Soul, Once Again

So today is the first day that we got into Florida with mom and dad.  The flight up here wasn't too bad, it was a lil' bumpy at the begining, but other then that, smooth sailing.  I just have this gnawing feeling in my stomach that I'm gonna be bored outa my mind here and irritated to boot.  Hopefully I'm wrong though.  The accomidations aren't that bad here though at the condo.  I've seen better, but then it doesn't really bother me either which way, as long as the place is clean.  And I get my own seperate bathroom connected to my room, which is always a plus :).

Mike had to take Zoie to the boarders a day early due to them only being open from 3-5 on Sundays and he has to leave for yet another work related trip tomorrow at 9am.  Poor Zoie :(.

Mom and dad haven't driven me crazy yet.  But, the way I figure it, give them time.  They are planning on going to church with grandma and grandpa tomorrow.  I was planning on going as well (yes, i know...the burning and what not...).  But, they're also planning on going to sunday school tomorrow as well.  And I'm not really sure if I'm down with that.  I guess I'll see how I feel about it tomorrow morning when I wake up.  I would like to go, just to be able to see my grandparents and all.

It will be an interesting trip, that I promise.  Just hopefully I don't lose my sanity in the process... 

So there's this white lilac bush on the corner of the yard at work and Jane picked some yesterday and put them around the office.  Very nice touch to the office, if I do say so myself.  And, I didn't even realize that they had white ones beforehand...always thought they were just purple.  But, very very nice indeed :)

I am so freaking bored.  I've had one phone call in the past two hours.  I've exhausted everything to entertain me except for blogging.  So, here I am, begging the gods to speed up time just a wee bit more...only an hour left and I can go the hell home!  And today's been going really slow anyways.  There's hardly been anything going on (which is odd, especially for this time of year), no backlog to work on.  Like, I got in today around 9am and I got everything done done by 10:00.  So, I've been kinda screwing around today until I can leave :p. 

Mike got home early this morning.  I think around 3 or 4, not really sure.  So that's good that we'll be able to spent a few days together before I go off to vacation with my parents to Florida.  God willing I don't kill myself while being there.  I think I will have to go out a few times to check out the local gay clubs and what not.  I just hate going by myself.  And, more then likely, I would have to get a taxi...don't really wanna drink and drive with a rental car :p.  So that could get costly just in itself.  But, we shall see.  I'm not exactly sure where the condo is at in relation to Orlando...but dad did say it was really close.  Maybe a suburb?  I dunno, I would be able to tell if I could actually remember what town we're staying in.  *shrugs*.  O' well.  

I'm wearing my new white Tommy briefs.  Very comfy and I like the lil' Tommy logo on the front waistband.  Very cute.  Love 'em.

It's now 4:20...*takes a hit*.  

Why...for the love of God...won't the boredom stop?!?!  'PEEEAAASSEEEEE?!?!!?!?!?!? 

Yes...you read the title of this post correctly.  The Power of Orange Knickers indeed!  I've always wanted a pair of orange underwear...maybe because they are not as ordinary, especially for guys.  So, mom and I were shopping this past Saturday and we were in the Gap and, hot damn, I found a pair of orange boxer briefs.  I was in heaven!  So, i bought myself a pair and felt the power that the Orange Knickers posessed...and that power was all mine.  *cackles while being ravaged by the sweet, sweet lusting that can only be felt while being consumed by lovely new panties*.  So anyways, a little bit later on mom and I met up with Travis and dad for lunch.  And, seeing how i was still reeling from the Orange Knicker power trip, I mentioned my excitedness about my latest purchase.  And, my dad tried to be cute by saying something along the lines of me working in construction.  And, I looked at him and tried to be as serious as possible and told him "No, I'm gonna be a go-go boy."  Needless to say, dad did "classic dad" and started talking about the weather.  Hey, don't mess with a boy that just got hot new panties.  Freaking sweet...

The past couple of days I've been pretty blah but today I'm feeling pretty good.  Maybe it was because I was listening to a Cher CD a few minutes ago...that always gets me buzzing with excitement.  *grins*

O' my gosh, so I was reading on Yahoo yesterday and I found the most disapointing news story that i've seen for the past couple of months on there. Lemme give you some background, just in case you don't know.  Massachusetts is the only state in the US that allows gay marriage.  In school a teacher read a fairy tale to a group of 20some seven year olds about a prince that is looking for someone to marry and passes all of these princesses and decides to finially marry this other prince.  The title of the book is called "King & King."  Now, the reason why the teacher was reading this fairy tale to her students was because their lesson was about different types of marriages.  Some of the parents were outraged because, and i quote, "Camenker said he believes the school, Joseph Estabrook Elementary, broke a 1996 Massachusetts law requiring schools to notify parents of sex-education lessons. "There is no question in my mind that the law is being abused here," he said."

Now, while I haven't read the fairy tale myself, I'm making a pretty sure bet that prince #1 didn't put a leather collar on prince #2, make him bend over, and thank his master every time that he spanked him.  Thank you pease, can I have another?  I mean, are the parents really that self-deluded or do they think that other people are *really* that freaking stupid?  It has nothing to *do* with pornography!!!  But, my fair readers, I shall tell you what it's about:  exposing their children to gays.  And, not even gay sex or going out and boozing it up or anything of the sort.  Just two guys getting married.  Now, if it would have been a traditional fairy tale of the prince and princess, happily ever after, the parents wouldn't have even blinked.  And, honestly, I take great offense to that.  Is the fact that me loving someone of the same sex so horrifying to you that you feel that it's necesarry to shield your children from that fact?  You know what, kids don't really give a shit who you love.  The only people that care are the ones that are trained to hate/fear gays.  Or they are just ignorant.  And there is just really no reason for ignorance any longer, especially with a couple keystrokes you can find whatever information that you desire.  This is truely one of the rare times where ignorance truely isn't bliss.

So, it's a lil' after 1:30 on a Friday afternoon, there's nothing to do.  I'm bored as hell :p

Travis decided it would be fun to play with the lawn this afternoon and leave me here :(.  But, I'm taking Monday off, so it's all good I guess.  I would just rather be busy then sitting around not doing anything :p.

We had a lady call yesterday and we have her house insurance.  However, it just struck her yesterday that she didn't own the house and therefore didn't need to cover the actual structure *sighs*.  So, I had to call the company and get things switched around on the inception date of the policy, which was in 2004.  *cries*.  What a freaking idiot.  It just never struck me that the agency should be asking new clients if they actually own the house or not.  *duh*

Tomorrow, if my mother doesn't ditch me, we'll be going to Lima to do some furnature shopping and also pick up some misc items that we want.  Should be some fun.  Then Mike and I will be going to Dayton in the evening...maybe get a bite of supper and see a movie or something.  His plane leaves tomorrow around 8:30 and I'm his ride there.  So, instead of leaving around 5:30 in the morning on Saturday, we just decided to just stay the night in Dayton, make an evening of it.  So that should be fun.

*sighs*  Still nothing to do and bored outa my mind.

 I think I may have to go out on collegehumor.com and see if there are some more funny videos to watch :)

So, I was getting around the other day to leave the house for work when I happened to look at myself in the mirror.  And there I saw them.  There were scabs on my nipples...

Like, the previous day Mike and I were having sex and he was really tearing at them...and, I love that, don't get me wrong.  I love the pain :).  But...he ended up (apparently) busting some of the skin and caused a lil' bit of my nipples to scab over.

Hot.

I figured that everyone out on the Internet needed to hear those words...and now everyone is seething with jealousy, I know...I know...

Speaking of jealousy, one of Mike's coworkers went to a local company to pay for and pick up some hats that they had made up with their logo and all.  Well, the credit card that the co-worker went to use (company credit card) was denied (super shocking, i know...).  So, the co-worker called up Mike and wanted to know what to do.  So, Mike spoke with his boss and his boss said "Well, we had some unexpected bills come in so we don't have the money."  It's a $400 order people...  So, Mike told the co-worker just to come back.  The co-worker then offered to pay with their own credit card and the company can pay them back.  First of all, are you freaking retarded?!  If your company can't afford to pay the hat people directly, what makes you think that they'll pay you?  So, of course the co-worker was told "no" and come back to work.

So, why does that remind me of jealousy?  I'm jealous 'cause I wish that my credit card didn't have $400 left on it and didn't have enough money to pay its bills or enough morals to stop stealing from their employees.  Yea...that's right.  They're still taking money out of their checks for their disability from Afleck.  However, they haven't paid Afleck for 3 months.  They owe Afleck (I do believe) close to 18,000.  So, the money that they are taking out of the employe's checks is going where?  To the owners of the company :).  Yea, they could afford to just purchase a $30,000 truck for one of the big wigs...yet they can't purchase supplies...or really anything...for anyone else.  Corrupt bastards...makes me wanna rape innocent women and children just to prove a point.  What point?  Not really sure, but at least it would gets people's attention....

So, Mike is leaving this Sunday and probably own't get back until Wed.  Then he'll turn around and leave on Sunday again and won't get back until Wed of the following week.  And, I'm gonna be gone starting the 29th for a week for vacation.  So, that means that Zoie will probably have to go into a kennel for a couple of days.  Which translates into her being really...really fucking pissed :p.  Stupid Mike and his stupid job.  It makes me wanna kill myself.  I mean, not that I really blame him for having to leave.  But, I do, and it bothers me that I think this way about it.  I just don't want her to be at the kennels...she'll be scared and all.  But, I don't really have any other options...and I just don't like that feeling at all.

Speaking of which, I have to call the kennel and get something setup so that Zoie isn't stranded at home for several days by herself.... 

And, you're asking yourself "Why didn't you post this yesterday?"

It's because I was having a mental breakdown and the least of my worries was blogging....

So, yesterday in the AM wasn't too bad by myself at work.  There was a pretty steady stream of calls and what not, but I was able to manage.  Then, around 3 Hell unleashed its fury on me and I didn't enjoy it at all :p  Everything started to go wrong, I had way too much new business to process, and some people were just being rather rude.  So, needless to say, I didn't leave work until 6 and then, when I got home, the power was out.  Hot Damn.  So, after sitting around eating supper in the dark with no TV, the electricity finially came on around 7.  So, as soon as the power came back on, I went back into the computer room (aka the Orange Room) and started working again.  I didn't get done until 10:30.  Wait...it actually would have been a lot longer, but around that time some company's websites shut down for their nightly cycles, so I had to *stop* working at 10:30.  So, I had to then continue that loveliness that was Hell at 7:45 this morning, worked until 8:30, left to do the banking, got to work at 9, and continued to work on what I was doing last night until about 10 this morning.  *sighs*

It was horrid I tell you, HORRID!!  And, what's worse, was that I woke up with this splitting headache and it didn't even ease up until about an hour ago...now it's just a mild roar but managable.

Next time that Travis suggests a week off, remind me to bind and staple him to his chair so he can't leave.  Pease... 

Yes yes, I almost did it today.  And it would have been glorious.  Glorious I tell you!

So, this is the week where Travis doesn't love me and leaves me for an entire week to allow myself a mental breakdown.  Lucky, lucky me.  And, normally it wouldn't be a big deal.  However, whenever he leaves, the craziest shit starts to happen, and it stresses me out and grinds on my nerves to boot.  I had people dropping off payments where it canceled two-three weeks ago, several several policies canceled/lapsed, billing questions (which I seriously fucking hate 'cause I just don't understand the accounting portion behind it to be of much help *sighs*), I had an obscene amount of stupid people show up today.  It's like, I didn't do anything super productive today, I just spun my wheels around.  It was just frustrating.  Mike even tried to initiate sex with me tonight (a first in...damn, prolly about a year) and I was so annoyed with today i was I didn't want anything to do with it.  Me...turn down sex...that's prolly a first :p.

I finished off Star Trek Voyager for the second time yesterday.  It is definatly my favorite Star Trek of all time.  And now that I've outed myself as a trekie.... I've also plowed through the first season of Will & Grace and also getting almost half way through the second season of Roseanne.  Yea...I've been sitting on my ass for the past couple of days, can't ya' tell?

In the next couple of weeks I'll be going with my parents to Florida for the week.  Hopefully it won't be too much of a nightmare.  I'll have to sneak out a few nights and check out the local bars around Orlando and see what's cooking...*grins*.

I went to Lisa Ann Woodford's daughter's wedding this past Saturday.  It was a really nice wedding...and perhaps the shortest one I've ever been to!  From the time it started to the wedding line finished after the ceremony, it only lasted 50 minutes.  I was blown away.  Every, and I do mean EVERY, wedding should be like that.  Short, sweet, and to the point :)  I didn't make it to the reception though.  I thought about it, and really the only thing I wanted to do was to go back home and hang out with Mike since he was gone for close to two weeks beforehand.  mmmm...maybe I'm becoming whipped?  Doesn't really sound like me...  Maybe I'll have to cause some trouble when I'm in Orlando in the next couple of weeks...regain my previous Slut Crown :)

I guess we shall see :) 

Ugh...So, I looked at everywhere in Ohio, and all of the other venues that I *CAN* attend is sold out, the only one that isn't sold out is Dayton.  And, I'm gonna be in Florida....Damn it, I'm so PISSED!  I really, really wanted to see her *cries*.

And, I haven't had a phone call for three hours.  Wait, I lied.  I had a lady call and her vehicle broke down and if rental coverage applied to that.  Denied.  And, I had a guy bring in a payment.  That's *ALL* there was to do in these past three hours.

I'm losing my mind here folks.... 

I just looked and the seating for Columbus is sold out!!!!!  *cries*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

So, it's been awhile since my last post.  I have some catching up to do, I see...

So, Brenda's funeral was nice.  I questioned her being buried in a sports sweatshirt, but everyone seemed to find it appropriate since she loved the team (I can't recall what team it was) and she wore the shirt all the time.  hrrmmm, good thing I wanna be cremated.  But, the service was very nice.  Everyone was swapping stories about Brenda, crying, laughing...

And it brought me to think about, when I die, how I would want that type of thing handled.  I don't think that I would want a funeral service exactly.  I would want more of a wake.  More of a party to celebrate my life rather then mourning me.  So depressing...and that's not really what I'm about.

And Tammy needed me to go with her to Lima before the funeral to basically become her guardian in regards to her SSI (disability) checks.  Brenda always handled that...but, in order to prevent her not getting her checks, I'm now the guardian until Tammy's therapist can get the paperwork filled out so that Tammy will be her own guardian.  Basically, how it works, is that her checks are sent to me, in my name.  I'm supposed to use that money and pay her bills.  Tammy wants me to just sign it and give it to her.  Granted, it is only 600 and some dollars...not even enough to pay all of her bills.  But, at the end of the year you have to supply the government with receipts and a record of what you spent it on.  And, to be honest, I can't really trust Tammy to give me those items.  I just wouldn't wanna get in trouble over such a petty thing :p.  So, I'll just go and deposit the money into my checking account and pay her bills for her, how it should be done.  I know it'll piss her off, but I also don't wanna get myself into trouble.  *shrugs*

I have my annual eye doctor appointment tomorrow, which should be fun, along with a haircut.  And, gods I do need my hair cut.  I've also been having some slight strain on my eyesight whenever i've been looking at my laptop monitor for several hours at home.  I'm assuming it's because I need a slightly stronger perscription...or stop staring at my computer for hours upon hours.  *smirks*.

Work is going really well.  Today it's pretty slow, which is nice 'cause Travis took the day off today to work on their yard.  Maybe, just maybe they'll have grass this year.  Of course, I would be ever so amused if it would rain today.  Yes, I do happen to enjoy other people's misery...maybe a wee bit too much, really *evil grin*.

Mike will be coming home (hopefully) Thursday.  Freaking sweet, I haven't seen him since, well...Thursday night *laughs*.  And, hopefully, this will be the last of his traveling, at least for awhile.  I think he's planning on looking for another job when he gets back home, thank ya' jesus.  But, we'll see how that all works out...

I also saw that Kathy Griffin was in Dayton the end of this month.  I'm VERY EXCITED!  Ah Damn...I just realized that I won't be in ohio during that...I'll be in Florida with my parents.  Well, maybe the one in Columbus isn't sold out yet.  I'm totally dead set on going and seeing her, she's my fav comedian, LOVE HER!

 And, with that, I must leave you...I need to check the seating and see if there are any more seats available for Ms. Griffin.
