Say Hello To My Little Friend!!!

Minds out of the gutter, pervs...LOL

I HONESTLY have no idea where I got this gadget, but it is really helping me to exercise my left hand and get more strength back in the digits. Alkelda, whether you know it or not, you helped put a proverbial fire under my ass to get out my guitar again. I can't remember half the lyrics and cords in the songs I used to play, but I'll get there soon enough. Now I have a few new ones to learn! ;)

I found this last picture on my cameraphone. I actually thought there was a snake up in the tall palm tree at my parents' house. Freaked me out, and they giggled because it was just an old branch from the vines sticking out. It sure looks like a friggin' snake to me, that's for sure. The sun in the pic is pretty cool though, right?

Hope everyone has a great day!

I Got Ripped Off!!!

Okay...About 5 1/2 years ago, I went to the pound to get a puppy...she has been the love of my life (my kid) for a long time...Little did I know, I was actually getting THIS (a KID):

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my "dog" thinks she is a friggin' GOAT. She climbs to the highest points of my sofas and just stands there. She climbs up onto my parents' fence and eats the grass (ok, it's a low brick fence, but still...). ANYTHING I cut up to eat, she HAS to have a piece of it or she will bark her fool head off until I let her try it. Today it was watermelon. WATERMELON!? I know she likes carrots and other vegetables, but ya ever hear of a dog wanting watermelon? Tomorrow I'm going to see if she likes grapefruit...

Hey, maybe I should see if she likes jalepeno peppers...I know she likes the regular green ones, heh heh heh...Okay, no, that would just be plain mean. Funny and video-worthy, but mean. Not to mention I'd be cleaning up the dog puke and other whatnot for days.

The only thing she won't eat is peas. Oh, or lettuce. I can mix ANYTHING in a bowl and put peas or lettuce in there, and she'll just pick around it and leave that shit in the bowl.

And they say dogs are stupid.

Have a great Monday, everybody.

I Acted Normal When I Was Nervous...

I had to go back up to Phoenix today to the EEOC, after filling out all the discrimination paperwork and whatnot.

After sitting there for FOUR FUCKING HOURS, I was finally called in, only to have the investigator tell me in less than TEN FUCKING MINUTES that my case is only valid for companies with 50+ employees. They can't just tell you this shit over the phone?

$8 in parking later and sitting in traffic on the way home, I just realized..."fuck it."

I mean, not, like "fuck life," or anything like that, but just okay, I'm pissed, I'm gonna continue to be pissed, but in the meantime, I need to focus on other parts of my life.

That date I had for "'Mockingbird??" Was B/F, long time friend, comes over to watch the new CSI episodes on Thursdays, and reminded me we're supposed to go see Rush next Thursday. Then we got into it over some stupid shit and I told him to just find someone else to go. Just as well. Really. Good LAWD I don't know why I hang on to that. He didn't even thank me for dinner, even though it WAS just a frozen pizza and some cheap beer...

Anyhow, tomorrow is another day, it's FRIDAY (thank God for the lot of y'all), and next week is the dawn of a new day for Lady K. Come hell or high water (high water being the joke of the century, seeing as how I live in the fucking DESERT), I will prevail.

Hope everyone has a great, safe weekend!!

"Round Here

I just have a little trouble acting normal when I'm nervous.

Okay, NO, I'm Not Obsessed

...but I really DIG on this guy's voice, and...

um...

My hair IS as short as his right now. And I am just as scrappy/skinny. But I have that "hourglass figure" thing going on, and I'm not manly. Nor am I tall. Five feet? That's pretty shorty, right? ha ha! I

I'm gonna try to get my family to get to take some pics over the weekend so you kiddos can see...

Callie, I'm really TRYIN' here! LOL If the 'rents won't cooperate, you're just gonna have to do with a mirror/camera shot. K? LOL

Have a great weekend, peeps.

By the way, check my girl out....

I know some of you out there can't stand Sheryl, but I think she does an AWESOME job with this song. I'm not a huge religious person, but this song has always kicked my ass.

Here's to whirrled peas!

Can You TELL I'm Bored?

I should be cleaning, and it's too chilly today for the pool, so here I sit. None of the drives on my computer are working right now, so I can't play the CD's I want to play while I'm scouring all the websites and filling out applications. Daytime TV ain't what it used to be (except for ELLEN, whose show I'll miss the most WHEN I finally start working again).

Anyway, I've always loved Train (duh, see previous post, ha ha), so I thought this song would be appropriate for me today...

I'll never give up hope.

Wish I could have embedded it, but it's been denied. Oh well. If you can, enjoy!!!
