Surprise!

Kizz, here posting for Zelda who doesn’t have internet access,

Zelda needs a little help, please. This morning (Wed, the 21st, 8:45am Central Time) she has a meeting that will resolve some difficult issues at work. She may end up unemployed on the day before Thanksgiving and that may be just the right thing for her.

She’s all alone out on the frontier this week and she’s being treated unfairly and she has no one to advocate for her but herself and she has no internet access so she can’t even blog her own plea for help. Please send her your best wishes and support for making the right decisions for her. Something along the lines of dignity and abundance should do nicely.

Thanks for your help. I’ll keep you posted.

Flop

Well guys, I flopped on the NaBloPoMo this year. But not because I suck. Because my computer does…sigh. It is in the hospital due for release hopefully today or tomorrow. Posting on BonusMom’s today but she’s leaving town for the week and I’ll be here by my lonesome without a connection to you all. Sigh.

The weekend was fabulous…work was better. We have a big pow wow tomorrow night which should merit many drinks at the new watering hole. But hopefully it will be fine. We celebrated birthdays on Saturday night, hitting several spots in town, everyone dressed up and shiny. So much fun. I finally got back to the frontier last night around 6 or so…hit the art museum for brunch and culture with Martha and friends…the Chihuly stuff was gorgeous. Apparently we, in OKC, are the holders of the largest collection. Way cool. Would love to post pics but gotta get off the machine and get started with my list of things to do today including laundry, eye doctor, wax supplies for work, special color for a friend, bringing in firewood before the cold gets here on wednesday and hopefully getting my computer back.

Until then, don’t fret. I miss you too and will be back soon.

Apocalypse HOW??

So. Things went from bad to worse. My computer is funky. It will randomly connect to the internet. I have to turn it in tomorrow, and pick it up Saturday around five pm. Posting will be difficult. I may fail my first NaBloPoMo. because it’s late, this will actually count for friday’s post….cheating? Whatever.

Work….Things are too tricky to write about. I will do it later. Just light a candle and skin a live chicken in my hope for the rest of this and first of next week. Say La Vee. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. When I am Queen of Everything, that will be my platform. And abolishing all Leadership By Intimidation.

I have to say though, the last two clients I had tonight made my freakin day.

It’s nice to have friends.

Let us also rejoice not only in my failure at being a leader but in the accomplishments of Joe. Whattaguy he is. Huzzuah for you my dear friend.

If only I can take a page out of his book, and out of Gerts. . . and as a matter of fact out of all of your books…and land on my size ten but beautifully manicured feet.

To bed I am. Lest there be another two wreck day on I-40 and I arrive at 8:52 instead of 8:45 for my 11:00 appointment and get secretly written up.

I love George Clooney. From the bottom of my heart.we’re going to bed. and I hate Fabio.

Thirsty Thursday

Today my focus is on positive results for my girls.
Positive attitudes from the entire salon leading to a great day all around.
That I can get my computer fixed…cannot connect to the internet so am having to post via BonusMom’s machine.
That my incredible case of ennui will shake itself off before the weekend.
That I will remember to buy some coffee on my way home tonight!
That you have a fantastic Thursday. You are almost done! Treat yourself to a drink. A nice hot cuppa joe, or a very grown up glass of wine, or just a bottle of water! It’s all about hydrating people!
It’s also all about how much I love George Clooney.

Funky Cold Medina

Got the funk. For several reasons. Two of my best good friends have girly parts being/have been looked at this week. I am sending positive vibes to them both that all is well and life shall go on. It makes me remember it’s been over three years since I’ve had my stuff checked. Am going to find a place and book a spot tomorrow.

The Ex-Him came in today for new hair. His kid is going through some stress. The time was fine, we talked a lot and got caught up. As with all of that, residual funk is what I’m left with.

The cute crush I had not too long ago revealed a girlfriend via text tonight. I don’t think I feel badly about that so much as I feel stupid and vulnerable and stupid for thinking a bunch of text messages were more than they were. Feeling a little desperate on that ground and just want to hide under the covers.

The S.E. participant emailed tonight. Twice. I don’t even have the strength of mind to deal with that. He wants to do something, maybe next weekend a movie. It wouldn’t be bad but I’m not eager to get out the pom poms.

Drama at work is coming to ahead. We are on the precipice people. It’s either going to get really back to normal and great, or it’s going to get darker and more Nazi-esque. It all comes down to COMMUNICATION between each level of management down to the stylists. It’s been failing in the past and has been gurgling out like a witches couldron. I’m so freaking OVER IT.

I don’t have much fabulous to share with you. Hope your day was grand. Hope tomorrow is better. Hope you remember how much I love George Clooney.

Whelmed.

It’s been an interesting week of developments regarding the social experiment. I had a coffee date with one participant on Monday. I don’t really know what I was expecting. It neither overwhelmed me or underwhelmed me. I was just whelmed. We went to Denny’s and had crappy coffee. He was super nervous. Really chatty. This was fine with me, I was nervous too. I can talk to anybody. But this is the first time to meet someone like this. My first impression of him, physically was rumpled. My next impression was Eeyore. He was very apologetic. He needs a cheerleader, a pep squad. And that is fine, we all do, but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to apply for the position. He called last night and we chatted for a bit, but again, it was me: Rah Rah Ra and he: Wa Wa Waaaaa.

Meanwhile back on another site I have had pre-?’s and conversations with a few that are interesting. One guy and I have gotten to the email each other point. He was very complimentary in the first email, but never gave me nearly the information he was asking for. Here is just an excerpt:

Tell me about it, not good. Tell me why you are single? What kind of foods you like? What do you like to do for fun?

I take it you like football.

How many kids do you have.

Did you see my pics or do you need one. I can send if you have an email address

Ok. For one, I”m not giving my personal email address to any of you people. (Not YOU people, but THOSE people) For another, why am I single? WHY? Am? I? Single?

At this point I just kept talking to him to see what he’d say.

I love football as well. I love all kinds of food even spicy. I have 2 kids one in college and one is a junior. I love to travel, movies, go to the lake, just about anything. I am originally from Kansas but I have lived in okc for 20 years. I am divorced, because I caught my wife cheating on me. That was just the last straw it was both of our faults.

So when do you want to meet.

Pretty sure I don’t.
Want to meet.
anyone.
like this.

I have until November 21st paid on these sites then I’m shutting her down. This sucks. It just isn’t what I thought it would be. Too tedious, too much time on the damned machine. Time that I could be actually OUT there meeting some new people.

What are your thoughts on this…maybe I’m playing the game incorrectly. Should I throw in the towel or give it another month? I’m pretty sure I’ve made my decision but if you guys have anything inspirational to send me, go ahead.

I have literally eaten my way through the birthday weekend. And drank my way through it too. I’m going to take my w.w. time today and make a deposit in the bank and maybe try to get some new contacts. The one’s I’ve got in my eyeballs have been there since the Great Breakup of August 07. . . getting a little scratchy.

Work should be good today. Bee and ScottyRingo are coming in. It makes work so much more fun when your best good friends are there with you!

Next week I’ll have the Frontier to myself. BonusMom is heading to Nebraska/Arkansas for the holiday. I’m camping out here. Mom and BonusDad are coming in for his family celebration…which I guess I’ll have to go to for about a minute. . . then I’m coming to find YOU, Gert. No can do the all family no friend Turkey Day. Boo. Hiss. Spit. What are you guys doing for the holiday? I have a post about that day, but it’s for later.

Ok kids, I think I’m outta here. It’s cold today. Yesterday i wore flip flops to work!! not so much today. I’m off to read some NaBloPoMo blogs and make some comments. COMMENTS! I love comments!!! (that’s a big fat hint to those of you reading and not talking back to me!)

Love love love. Love you. Love George.

Give him a Who! And a Ha! And a HaYah!

As per Gert’s file over at the CornerBoothAtHudsons, my boyfriend got into a bit if a tussle with Fabio. I”m pretty sure it was over me and I just want to say, “Fabio, you better check yourself when you open your big fat mouth like that.” Saying my George needs manners. This coming from a man who got his face smashed by a bird on a roller coaster? Need I say more.

I’m off to work. Hope you all have a fabulous day. Don’t forget to smile today. Next week is Thanksgiving, which means that life is moving way too fast. Too fast not to take some time to smile, and to remember I love George Clooney.

He loves me! He really really loves me!


Got home today to find a delivery from my George. Beautiful flowers with beautiful words of love written to me on the card. The weekend could not have ended on a higher note. I think that his home office is in Ft.Worth and that my thanks should be forwarded to his people down there. Many many thanks. Sigh.

I saw that the boxed set of Ocean’s movies comes out on Thursday. I think I’m going to forgo buying some clothes with birthday money and buy myself that little piece of yummy.

Went up to the bar to watch my Colts get their butts whipped last night. Good grief. That was painful. Stayed in OKC at a friends because I just didn’t want to drive home so late. It was fine, but didn’t get much sleep so came home and crashed which in turn pushed back the date I had with the member of the social experiment. We met for coffee tonight. It was fine. Very chatty. Turns out I think I remember him from our time at USAO. He was a history major. Fine conversation, I think we’re going to go down to campus to see a professor in a show next month. Anyway, it was just fine. I’m glad I went. Meeting and greeting.

Cannot believe I only have TWO weeks left of my Maksim and Dancing with the Stars…Whatever will I do?

Tomorrow starts a new week. Work has been crappy lately. The drama can sometimes get to me, but I’m just steering clear from all the crap and keeping focused on my clients. It’s been a little like working in a Nazi camp though. Hopefully we’ll see liberation soon.

Ok gentle readers. That’s it for me. I’m not very prolific tonight. If you would like to read the best example of grace and dignity go read Kizz’s post about her surgery. The person to whom she’s speaking got a nice little lashing today, moreover in the comments section!

George and I say good night. Have a great evening.
