For my birthday…
I went out last night and accidentally drank a shitload of dirty martinis and turned into a dirty girl who made out with an auctioneer.
and yes girls…a mouth that moves that fast is very talented.
am home about to take a wee nap before family night.
thank you to all of you who have called and texted. I love you too.
Friday File
A few things before the official Birthday Weekend begins. I will be posting, and daily, but who knows the content…the family comes in tonight…which means no party or kicking it with the hommies this weekend…we are planning a shindig next Saturday night to fulfill the obligations. Looking forwards to seeing my Sis and Wonderboy.
I gained a pound at weigh in on Wednesday. Wah wah wahhhhhh.
I cannot tell you how short my hair is. I’m sure to have some birthday pics this weekend that I promise to post.
I have a lunch date on Monday with a participant of the social experiment. We will keep you posted.
I tweaked my online profile and have now been inundated with options…sure. About the time I’m ready to NOT pay for another month.
Perming Like it’s 1986!!
HOLY SHIT I DID TWO PERMS TODAY. TWO. One. Two. As in more than one. PERMS.
Fuckityfuckingfuckadoodledooo.
I’m worn out.
The first girl was annoying. Straight, thick, Asian hair. She was wearing her cranky pants as well as some wiggle worms. She moved around so much she just was soaked by the time it was all over with…we were both at the end of our ropes by the time it was done. Our relationship was OVER! Breaking up!! The perm looked wicked awesome though.
Then some sitting time watching Bravo’s top 100 funniest movies, ooohing and ahhhhing then ANOTHER one.
My fingers stink. My feet hurt. And by the way, I went out for beers last night and wound up accidently giving my damned phone number to a guy named Buster who texted me tonight with this gem: “Are you still full of sugar and lust?”
no.
no I am not.
Nor do I remember full of either of them last night.
I’m destined to be single. Does it cost a lot, would you say, to purchase sex?
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to Gertie
. She’s been repressed under the Man, but has finally broken free. Glad you’re back. We’ve missed you babe!
Weigh In Wednesday
Yesterday was long. Busy at work, went over to do a few haircuts at a friends house after I got off. It was DARK when I left…takes some getting used to but I like it. Got home to find a big rolling fire in the fire place, leftover soup for dinner and my DWTS on the telly. I was SCREAMING at the t.v. when it was down to Jane and Jennie….SO happy that Jane went home. See ya! And the drama this season…Marie’s dad passed away. Good grief.
This is all very trivial stuff compared to Kizz’s day. Had a long conversation with her last night before I read the blog. So good to hear her voice. So unfair that we live so far apart. I’m confident that she has good support for this procedure and that is after Thanksgiving (which she does so well. We all do/did well together) This will be fine. A lifelong pain in the ass, but fine.
Cut my hair all off yesterday. It’s never been so short. Seriously. The breakage was formidable and we just succumbed to it. I think I’ll really like it one month into it and 10 pounds lighter. I’ll try to post pictures soon..
Hey you guys, have a good day. Smile a little today. Find SOMETHING to be genuinely grateful for. Give someone a genuine compliment today, spread a little cheer. We are getting into the hustle and bustle of it all. Times where the crankypants are the formal attire for attending funkytown. I wish you a belly laugh today. A really loud one!
Did You Know This?
There is a movie based on the book Love In The Time of Cholera coming out.
November 16th I think. Just saw a preview for it…didn’t recognize any actors or the director but I was only half listening!
I’ve never read the book, only know of it because of Serendipity, but Gert adores it.
Interesting. Have any of you heard anything about the movie?
Striiiiiiiiiiiike!!
Writers Strike.
Again.
Now, I know it wasn’t 20 years ago, but wasn’t there another strike, or near strike by the writers guild which was in fact, the impetus for the Reality T.V. craze that we have now? Seems like I remember it that way…
Huh.
To my understanding the writers are wanting changes regarding the downloads available for internet/phones, for dvd rentals/sales etc. Apparently talks were fruitless last night, so they are still marching.
All the late night shows are in re-runs, the daily episodes/soaps will be hurting soon. The evening eps that we love should be safe for awhile, but who knows how long the strike will last?
I saw on the news last night, the people delivering lunches to the writers on those shows, equipment rental businesses, all feeling the ramifications and the economy could lose up to one billion should the strike continue for any length of time.
That my friends is power. Here’s to a resolution. Fast.
Not even remotly related, but Today is going to the ends of the earth this week and holy crappidoodle-katie-bar-the-door my boyfriend Matt Lauer has FACIAL HAIR. He’s in the Arctic Circle. Hubba Hubba Hubba. That is not a bad way to wake up!!
Huzzuah and Happy Tuesday. I’m going to sit here and enjoy a fuzzy Matt and a cuppa joe with George! 
P.S.
It’s not you, it’s me.
The first part of the previous blog was not intended for any of you that asked, “is this to me?” No. It’s not you. It’s me having the last word. Done. Finito. Palabra.
Can I just say how much in lust I am over Max on DWTS????
I’m mean GooLawd Chile. That is the personification of delicious!! I don’t care if you watch the show, ya’lll go vote for them just to keep his sexy self on the show!!!
It was a good day. Sambo got his band-aids cleaned and freshened up. He has to go back for fresh ones again on Friday at that point they will say when the stitches are o be removed. He’s didn’t really like the car ride, but other than that, no worries.
We moved a bunch of plants into the greenhouse today, prepping for the freeze this week. I also cleaned out my car, did a carwash and finished laundry. Emailed with the guy from the social experiment…he seems normal. Nice and normal. Let’s put out some suggestions for meeting face to face…those of you who have done this before, some scenarios please? Obviously we need to meet somewhere public, and people need to know where I am…any other suggestions?
Work should be good this week, if the schedule holds up and people don’t cancel or no show…fingers crossed for that.
Keep fingers crossed for Kizz. She gets her stitches removed tomorrow, send her well wishes on the diagnosis. She’s not worried. Neither am I.
I’m off to go read and comment on some NaBloPoMo’s…ciao.
