Bee-otch-fest!!! Part 1

Ok, I have a few things I need to bitch to someone about and all my usual targets are probably sick of it, so I figured it is time to check in here and get it all off of my chest.

I went out to the garage/laundry area on Saturday morning--er, strike that, I was GOING to, but I opened the door and saw something move, quickly. I jumped, EEEKed, slammed the door and ran away from it, far and fast.

Shit. Shit shit SHIT. That can only mean one thing. Probably a rat. I haven't had occasion to use that word in relation to my living space in some time, and I quite prefer it that way. Now I have to deal with all of that again. This time, at least, I am not going to pay Truly Nolen $600 to set some rat traps for me. I'm going to ask my uncle to do it and plead with him to find out how the little fucker (and possibly some of his friends) got in my garage and fix it. FIX IT, PRETTY PLEASE. Make the rat situation all better. NOW.

I did not go in my garage from Saturday morning until last night and then only because I had to do a load of laundry for today. I sent a dog out there for a few minutes first to at least scare the nasty thing into hiding long enough for me to take care of business.

Oh I so can NOT do rats again.

Let's see, what else to bitch about?

Oh yes. THIS idiot bullshit:

WHY? WHY WHY WHY? I hate people. Well I hate stupid people who do completely nonsensical, cruel things to innocent beings (be they people or dogs). I hope they catch this guy and throw HIS sorry ass off a bridge.

I have more to bitch about but it's lunch time and I am hungry. Hell I am always hungry, I am doing Weight Watchers. As of today I have lost 16 pounds though, so at least it is working. Sloooooowly, oh ever so slowly, it feels like I have been doing WW forever and it is only 2 months.

More soon.

Greetings from Phoenix!

The kid and I are in Phoenix visiting Phillip. Had a nice visit yesterday and today. Phillip wasn't feeling well yesterday though so we left an hour or so early. He was feeling better today. We have a visit tomorrow before we head home.

Yesterday we were so tired we came back after the visit and took a 4-hour nap and got up in time to go to dinner. Today the kid wanted to go to the mall (of all things) so we did and drove around for awhile. We are going to dinner soon at a place called Oregano's that comes highly recommended by several people.

At the mall today, we saw a familiar face...



So we stopped and said hi and got a picture made, that was fun.

Can someone explain why the strangest things make you want to unexplicably cry? Coincidentally, one of the kid's classmates and his family was on our flight to Phoenix. She went over to say hi and came back saying "Are we sitting in first class? Because they are!" Um, NO, I am afraid not. *sigh* Be glad we are going at all. Sheesh.
