Mall Hell

I spent my gift certificate rather quickly. It wasn't difficult.

Buying stuff helps the sadness. Here is my new bag of beauty products and an iced mocha (of course). Don't you say a word, Nichole.

Oh, and by the way HOLE, I just bought some sexy damn underwear, and you can thank your lucky stars I'm not sitting here taking a picture of each one. I should. I haven't bought an undergarment with lace on it for a long-ass time. I'm proud of myself.

Farewell Lunch

Wow, I just had a great last lunch with a dear co-worker. We got really personal, and I shared some things almost no one knows. It felt good to talk to someone about them! She shared too and this makes it even harder to leave, unfortunately, but I know now that we'll keep in touch. She had some great advice, too. I am going to miss her.

Traffic Fun

Traffic is fun, I love it. No smiling right now. So many roads are closed this morning due to the flooding, and it is causing a nightmare commute. Bah. I'm going shopping today after my last day of work. That might make me smile. Although I HATE malls, I DO have a $100 gift certificate to spend!

Frowny McGrumpy

I've been asked to post a picture of me smiling. Apparently, I'm Frowny McGrumpy. I guess I've been in a poopy mood for a decade or so, sorry. Things aren't THAT terrible I suppose, I'm just sad a lot, and restless, and anxious, and well, you get the point. It's been a while since I felt smiley.

My last day at work tomorrow will no doubt be emotional. Some people there are really close friends of mine. I am going to feel very lonely until I can make some friends at the new job. I'm a little shy when I start a new job, and since I'm a temporary contract this time, who knows if anyone will want to bother making friends with me.

I'll try to take a picture of me smiling, OK? Gimme something to smile about internet people.

The Flooding Continues

That is not a lake, it is a farm field. Nice, huh? The flooding is insane right now. I'm constantly worried the bridge will be flooded out by house, and I won't be able to get home.

I want my coffee.

Here is my grumpy face waiting in line for coffee. I'm late for work because of the flooding. Oh well. My second to last day, then off to California! I don't have to start my new job until December, so that will be nice too. It will be a much-needed break.

Oh, and for those asking, no, I didn't do anything exciting for my birthday last night. I came home early, watched TV, ate a steak and went to bed. Thrilling, huh?

The Mrs. Butterworth Scandal

Have you noticed how Mrs. Butterworth doesn't have big boobs anymore? What the hell?

Flooding in Sultan, WA

Will I make it home?

ACK! The only road to my house is flooding. I am promptly leaving work (at the end of the audit) to see if I can make it. Shit!

Happy Birthday?

I'm kinda sad today. I know you are supposed to be happy on your birthday, but I have a lot of extenuating circumstances that have put a damper on it. Oh well, I'm going to try and make the best of it.

37 is the New 21

Well, I just officially turned 37. Show me the presents! FYI: 37 is the new 21. Just so you know.

Love, Crazydogmama

Tidbits from my fragmented brain.

1. It is time for a break because about every 3rd minute I am staring off into space forgetting what I'm doing.

2. I am way tired.

3. I would do anything for a full body massage right now. With a glass of something on the side.

4. I'm starting not to care.

5. I am obsessing about something I shouldn't be obsessing about.

6. I think it is due time for something spectacular to happen to me. I'm waiting and ready.

7. I don't know what I'm going to do for dinner while I'm at work.

8. I don't know what time I'm going home.

9. I have a hole in my sock, and it is driving me batshit.

10. I need new underwear.

11. I'm still restless. And I don't like it.

12. I'm not looking forward to the holidays this year. Because of all the death in the last year. I probably won't talk about the holidays much this year. Just so you know.

14. Oh somebody please help me for God's sake, I've lost my mind.

Time Warp

Well, that was stupid. I started getting ready at 3 am, then decided to "lay back down for a few minutes" and didn't wake back up until 6 am. What a retard.

3 AM

I'm getting up. It's 3 am. I'm going to take a shower and get ready for work. I thought about it for a while and came up with an answer to my work behavior and left it in the last comment. Now if I could figure out one last thing I'd be in great shape! That's a complicated one though. At least I get to go to Cali on Sat, that will be fun. It's a nice escape. I'll think of it as a birthday trip.

Understanding Myself

Sorry guys. I've had a headache all day and never even made it to work. Now I'm stressed and will have to probably pull an all-nighter at work tomorrow. I don't know why I care so much, but I do. There are many things I don't understand about myself, and because of that it has been a bizarre weekend emotion-wise. I think I need to give up on understanding myself. I'll just roll with it. LOL.

Head Clutter

Trying to get some sleep. I actually need to go into work tomorrow to get things ready for the audit next week. Blah. I can't sleep. DAMNIT. Figures. Too much on my mind. I don't understand why I can't get certain things out of my head. Maybe I should slam myself with a 2x4.

Being Social

Since my restlessness was bugging me to no end, I decided to have some girly friends over to distract me. They brought food (bless them), and we socialized while doing stuff. Marianne worked on her scrapbook, Sandy knitted, and I installed software on my new laptop. I'm a freak, I know, but it's more fun to do that stuff with people around. Good times.

Xanax to go, please.

My mom said I need this T-shirt she saw:

"I'll take an extra large double mocha, a side of vodka and a Xanax to go please."

She knows me well. LOL. Gimme!

Hair Do

I'm trying a different hair do. I want to buy some of those pretty beaded hair sticks, the ones that look like fancy chop sticks. How's that for an exciting post?
