Okay so....the story goes like this.....
My husband has to go potty and we are pulling in to JoAnn Fabrics. So he races in and disappears. I am looking at what I went for and a few minutes goes by and he comes up to me and says "I have to leave, they caught me in the employee bathroom". I think to myself "okay, so did they ask him to leave the store and not come back". I debated whether to finish getting what I needed or just abandoning my basket and leaving.
I stayed and got what I needed and waited through the extremely LOOONNNGGGG line at their groovy new checkout (ya right)....watched a 90 year old lady go right up to the cash register with her cane and checkout why she looked at us all standing in line like we were idiots. I was laughing to myself - I couldn't say something I mean she was OLD...but how the hell do these people get by with being oblivious and then you wonder if they are doing it out of confusion or spite....some oldies are spiteful little turds so ya just never know! So I check out and head for the car.
I ask my lovely husband what "went down" in the bathroom....here is the story he relayed....
He tried to use the public restroom and it said "OUT OF ORDER" so he thought to himself, okay do I dirty myself or do I use employee restroom.....so he opted for the alarm to sound (which is what the sign on the door says) and went in. He was in the stall (locked) as the door didn't lock and taking care of business when one of the employees comes in and tries to get in the stall and he said she really tried. He said "I am in here" and she waited outside the stall....not outside the restroom for him to finish up but outside the stall (do you find this a little weird?)...... So, when he breaks from the stall she immediately enters and relieves herself while he is washing his hands. She comes out and tells him that this is an employee restroom and he is not to be in it. He explains that the other was out of order to which she says he is still not to be in the employee restroom. So he was po'd and left.....
First off let me say that I think it is pretty crummy for a place like JoAnn Fabrics to NOT have a public restroom....moms and kids in the store and no restroom just doesn't make a good combo in my mind. I have written to corporate about this exact thing to no avail, no response, thus meaning they don't give a rat's a#s about it. It seems every time I enter that store I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now.....you know the tune....anyhow it was not a good thing to not have a restroom. Now the bad part of me (I mean the really bad part...yes, hard to believe but there is a bad little devil man that haunts me at times) wants to wear a dress in the store sometime with no undies and when the urge hits let gravity takes its course.....other than the shoes getting ruined I think it would only take a couple of times before they would catch on that they need to have the restroom in working order. Pretty gross, yes, I know....but I also think it is pretty stinkin' rotten to not have a public restroom in a chain store like JoAnn Fabrics.
Okay so that is my spoiled rotten rant for the day but I did have to laugh at my husband's little escapade.....tooo funny!

Weekend flyby........
WOW....last weekend was not from heaven okay.....fun but wow!
Friday I was asked to cover the late shift - so figuring I could use the OT I decided to go ahead and start work at 8:30 a.m. (as per usual protocol), thinking I would stop typing at 6:00 p.m. and get back on later Friday night to cover anything pressing. Well, didn't quite work out that way. You see I was the only person on the system after 3:00 p.m. and both of my favorite doctors decided to go at there rush job for the day about that time! I ended up typing about 80 radiology reports on Friday....oh, and just a clue that is a lot...that is along with the regular stuff I type....office notes, operative reports, History & Physicals (I had two amongst the x-rays over 20 minutes each - can you say woman dictator?), procedure reports....yada yada! My total lines for the day which finally ended at 8:00 p.m. Friday night - oh and that is 11.5 hours in case you are mathematically challenged - no lunch either! I typed about 255 lines an hour that day....yes, I continue to AmaZe myself - just in case you are wondering!
Needless to say by 8:00 p.m. I was pretty useless....I crashed....
Saturday was another soccer game for the kid - which....we WON! YIPEEEEE! One more gain YIPPEEEEE (I am celebrating that part definitely)! Even though they aren't supposed to keep score our team is undefeated thus far! We had a full day planned after the game - shopping, pizza, shopping - all to finish our costumes for the sorority costume party! Finally get home after 2:00 p.m. and throw together two costumes - which is basically what they looked like (threw together but "I tried")! Then dropped the kid off at G&G's and went to get SI for the mixture we had concocted for the party - it was Yummy - Pineapple Juice with Star Fruit Juice, 7-up and Rum! We had a fun evening of BUNCO at the sorority party with all the laughter and naughtiness that flows from my mouth....it just happens okay!
Sunday I slept in and had to rush to pick up the kid as he wanted to come home - ya, why I am not sure...but that is how it goes! We headed to Hayes to pick out pumpkins for the carving party we were going to at 3:00 and met some friends for lunch, had enough time after lunch to take a short nap and head out to carve pumpkins. I had high hopes of carving 4 pumpkins - I got 2 done - 1 was supposed to be Ang's but...well, you know how that goes - attention span 10 minutes max and he was off with another boy running around outside! I finished my bat pumpkin and then headed to his pumpkin to finish the Alien we had designed on his! WOW - I was spent after that - 2 pumpkins to gut (large pumpkins tooo - can you hear me whining already?).....then my friend & I meticulously went through the pumpkin guts picking out seeds to roast. I came home prepared the seeds and was up to 11:00 waiting for the finished product! They turned out okay - the roasted seeds and the carved punkins - just in case you were wondering WHAT?? I was talking about!
Things I managed to do last week - well, dumb thing #101 - I went to the casino and left my purse at a machine - wide open, cash showing and walked off from it....YA, pretty smart I know, I know.....so by the time I realized it I said "OH SH*T" out loud and rushed to the machine, guess what? it wasn't there....so, I found a security person who gave me the run around about giving her my phone number, on and on...no she didn't have it....about that time I hear my name pages overhead to come to the Information Desk - I take off to the ID.....where I find a young security person hold my driver's license and then he proceeds to identify me and give me my purse which is still intact, with money, debit card, etcetera....I worshipped, praised him, thanked him...wanted to kiss him but I held back! Hoping no one heard my name paged I head quickly back in to the main casino.....ya, no luck in that department - my party had heard and Knew what I had done.....makes me feel really good! What a dork I am! I did feel lucky though that the security guy found it and everything was there....that still is amazing to me! So I found a machine and won $40.00 - I knew it was my lucky night after that escapade! that is a significant win for me - the girl who goes out there SELDOM and only puts 5 or 10.00 worth of money in - playing it like pinball and just seeing how long I can play on the 5-10 bucks I flush down the machine!

YES, YOU CAN.....
Any of you HOMIES out there who want to preview an exciting mini catalog of cool stuff let me know and I can arrange for Angelo to bring it to you so you can order something from it.....he is doing one of those LOVELY fundraisers for school. There is wrapping paper, candy, stuff, jewelry, more stuff and stuff! You too can be the prideful owner of more stuff.....
Pretty exciting news huh?
Not much more happening.......I have to GO IN to work this afternoon which I am sooooooooo looking forward tooooooo.....yes, I am being sarcastic - for some "odd" reason I just dread it, DREAD it!
I am waiting for Miss K's mother to get with the program and post her pics from the B-day party....she must be busy chasing the little princess around - she is walking like a wild woman!
I purchased a lovely bracelet at the GEM show that I wore two times for approximately 6 hours and it broke which really pisses me off....I have made jewelry before and if something of mine broke that soon I would be mortified....but that is how you flush $26.00 down the toilet BRENDA STYLE! Yep, my bad luck pops up again to HAUNT me! DAMMMITT! It was really pretty toooo!
TURDMAN visited me today (Mr. UPS - the one in the brown suit) anyhow, he didn't let the dog out - THANK YOU very much and "AGAIN" he used the front door to drop the package and run! By the time I was able to jump from my desk which sits in the front window and retrieve a pair of pants to cover my sexy self he had parked, dropped and ran.....WHEW! Yep, you heard me correctly I was sitting here working, typing away, in my T-shirt and undies.....pretty lame and some day I will get caught bare a##ed because that is just my luck!
All in all, it being Wednesday, things are going okay this week! I got vacation time on the calendar for December and that gives me something to strive for.
The kid has 2 soccer games left of the Fall season and they are undefeated so far! Soccer has brought some stress back into my life that was in the closet for awhile but I will get through it - funny how people do things and think time will heal if everything is left unsaid and they don't own up to their verbal statements made and actions but you know what, it will never heal - there will always be a scar on my heart of hearts from what people have said to hurt me deeply and the thing is, it wasn't about me - it was about my boy, actions that made my husband literally sob....it wasn't even about me - that is amazing! He plays the game of going along with the person and speaking but I have nothing to say - I have no words yet and may never have words again for this person! I am cordial but I have no extra words to let the person no "YEP, things are A-okay....because I would be lying....I am still hurt/wounded" but I know I can go on. I see myself having grown in the past two years, grown knowing that I will be okay, that we as a family will be okay, we have people who support us as friends and family. Holidays may not be as "FULL" with bodies as they once were but they are filled with good people that don't bite.

I did not do that......
Okay - so the weekend blows by again - where did time go?
So, don't believe anything you may read about me teasing Miss K at her 1st birthday party! I did not take her ELMO baby and hold it while she was opening her other presents to tease her. I did not press his belly and make him laugh.....while Miss K stared me down with a look of "HEY, that is MYYYYY toy - put it down lady"! It wasn't me....I didn't do it! She didn't stop EVERYTHING she was doing until I put the toy down....I was not teasing her - it just isn't true! I would NEVER do ANYTHING like that to that little PRINCESS!!!
I am INNOCENT...yes, innocent! - I didn't do that.....I just don't do things like that!
It was a great party for a wonderful little lady! Happy Birthday again Miss Khloe!

This is how I work....
I am feeling guilty about the last post - I feel like I should erase it for fear that someone might find out how naughty I really can be....I have been stewing on this for 2 days - that is just how I work - guilt laden, paranoid.....I am fighting with myself to delete it but for now I won't - I will just bury it with other posts! Was it really so bad?
Okay, the remainder of the week has been pretty good....I mean this post alone makes me REALLY happy inside http://mrsdsblossomsmiles.blogspot.com/2008/10/one-year-ago-today.html to know that this family is full and happy and though there are things that trip us up walking on the path of life - there are blessings along the way! What a terrific little family with a beautiful little princess!
I also was working away on my ornament exchange and you know the post below about only having 6 stockings and needing 6 more and QVC has since sold out of the kit - then me writing Marie Osmond - ya, that was funny but anyhow, I got an e-mail back from dimensions craft site saying they would have the kit available to order on their site yesterday....uh ya - I checked from 9:00 p.m. the night prior to yesterday until last night at 11:00 p.m. - I don't know whose leg they were jerking on but it wasn't there.....so at 11:00 last night I popped over to QVC to see if by chance they had it and WOOLAH - somehow it popped up - I immediately ordered it and got my confirmation. Then curiosity got going and I went back in to QVC to find the kit again to see if they had posted my comment complimenting the kit and how easy it was and fun to learn hand felting.....it was NOT there anymore - is that weird or what! I recheck and confirmed that I had really ordered it and wasn't having a blond moment and YES I had - I wasn't living in the twilight zone but it was no longer available to order! DUDE - did they find one kit in the warehouse bathroom or what? Anyhow, wherever they pulled the one kit from that I purchased I am grateful that I don't have to make my own stocking pattern and design on the front of the stocking and order more roving to complete them! I hope these ornamental exchange ladies understand the hell I have went through to get this stockings....the blood I have sweated out of my fingers getting poked with that damn needle - last night the needle actually stuck in my finger after I was embroidering along - Joe just looked at me and said "I don't know HOW you do that" and laughed as blood bubbles up out of my thumb! OUCH!
I watched the last presidential debate last night - can we say "THANK YOU GOD" for it being the LAST one??? I have my own opinion on the whole situation which I refuse to express because I don't want to be bombarded by comments but can I ask "1" simple question.....???? What is the deal with Senator McCain's cheek - does he have an abscess or what? I mean the left side of his cheek was puffed out and he was only talking out the right side of his mouth? Just wondering....anybody out there know?
Okay - back to the keyboard....before I am busted for not producing WORK!

Maybe I shouldn't have....but I did!
Okay so last night was soccer practice and afterwards as my son was expressing all his frustration and I egged it on.....he was talking about a child whom I have known and he was saying how he was being mean but no one ever sees it and so I told him the truth.....after 9 long years of holding my frustration in I bled and let him hear it.....was I wrong?....probably!....do I feel guilty?...definitely!....do I hope he doesn't repeat it - mmmm-maybe yah! But I feel a piece of me relieved - I think he is finally at an age where he is beginning to see how kids act and WHY they act the way they do! He said this particular kid was spoiled and I said yep, he is spoiled Angelo.....he said "I mean spoiled rotten to the yolk sac!" I grinned inside! No one seems to see this particular child when he misbehaves and somehow Angelo is always to blame.......this kid punched him and Angelo told the person he needed to but that particular person didn't hear him....hmmm, could it be because he is the dad of the child?
Oh, and I was listening to a good portion of this all going on because I was waiting in my vehicle with the windows down, no music (so I could listen to them).....so I know most of what went on!
Another child who has done things to him in the past was being bad too - I said Angelo what did you do? and he said and I am quoting him "I kicked him in the nuts!" - I said "ANGELO, don't talk like that!" I don't condone that particular act but I was laughing on the inside because how he said it! I think he is finally going to stick up for himself which I want...not sure how far I want him to go yet with sticking up for him but I am glad he is sticking up for his rights and not letting kids stomp on him! WTG! I don't want a bully but he needs to stand up and take some of these bad acts on himself!
I need to get the list out that his grandpa gave him and start memorizing it with him and for myself....I love the list:
THE NINE GUIDELINES
1. LOVE GOD;
2. LOVE YOURSELF;
3. LOVE OTHERS;
4. HAVE INTEGRITY;
5. DO WHAT IS APPROPRIATE;
6. KNOW WHO YOU ARE;
7. DEVELOP A GOOD MIND;
8. HAVE A GOOD HEART; AND
9. GET A GOOD EDUCATION.

Sunday night ALREADY???
Time flies over the weekend - I can't believe the weekend is already over - I get nothing accomplished that I really "need" to get accomplished - like my housecleaning or straightening up or digging out! UGGHHH!!!!
Saturday morning was soccer bright and early at the field....OUCH it was cold out too! Anyhow, we won and ANGELO scored the 1st point - WOW - We were so excited! I think it got his game going in the right direction - he loved the scoring part. Afterwards we went to lunch with a friend and her son as her daughter and husband were out hunting....I asked her what the heck they traveled so many miles away when I just saw a deer not a mile from the soccer field????
I managed to get 3 stockings done for my ornament exchange and one more started....wow, only 8.75 more to go and the last six could get very, very difficult....you see I ordered a kit off QVC (Marie Osmond to be exact), it is a felting kit and I have wanted to learn to felt for quite some time (needle felt that is)....anyhow, so I order this cut which basically has the stocking printed on the felt and all the pieces that go with it.....so you cut them out, they have 2 needles (those were the ones I posted earlier this month) and the roving and bead/sequin embellishments and all the string to sew them together....a kit of 6....KEY WORD...6....so I go back last week to order my addition six from QVC and guess what??? they are flipping sold out.....don't know when or if they will get more....so everyday I go visit the site, visit eBay, visit DIMENSIONS crafts, and pray...pray that they will get more kits. So Friday I thought I would be "SILLY STUPID" and I actually emailed Marie Osmond on her website....how funny is that? Like I expect a response....NOT but what the heck - they will get a laugh! I mean I can make the additional six stockings from scratch but it would just be a lot easier on me to get a kit....ARRGGGHHHH!!! This is what I get for breaking my purchase up to two different paychecks.
So that is my drama for the weekend.....
Today I managed to sleep in until 9:30 a.m. as I didn't go to bed until after 4:00 a.m. - I actually fell asleep on the sofa with the dogs watching CODE BLUE but when I woke up at 4:00 a.m. I had NO DOGS with me - they had deserted me and were in MY BED in MY BLANKET!!!
I walked myself silly through COSTCO - can I tell you how much I don't like that store? I hate it - I mean they have good buys but it takes my family FOREVER to get through there - it is like a reception line after a wedding for my husband - he knows EVERYBODY and has to visit with them all! Can I say "OUCH, my feet are tired, my back aches and I wanna go home" as we are standing there visiting.....I know I sound nasty but I am exhausted and then I have the mindset that after we do all this shopping I get to come home and put it all away and it sucks pickles!!!
Oh well, looking forward to Desperate Housewives and sitting back and relaxing after din-din!
Saturday morning was soccer bright and early at the field....OUCH it was cold out too! Anyhow, we won and ANGELO scored the 1st point - WOW - We were so excited! I think it got his game going in the right direction - he loved the scoring part.

I am stepping in deep waters I know but....
I will be so glad when the elections are over. I watched 3 Idahoans debate last night - it was a local debate and WOW - the dude who is the independent was pretty radical....scary radical! I have never been much in to politics because I don't understand the lies and deceit they feed all of us, I mean there is no way that I could stand in front of people and say bad things about another person standing up there with me - No WAY - something isn't right about that and the fact that a lot of them lost their morals somewhere along the path of politics - or perhaps before they even started on the political trail!
I realize there needs to be change here and we desperately need some. I was getting my hair beautified the other day and this young girl who worked in the shop comes in with a swollen cheek and has an abscessed tooth - she has no insurance and every dentist she called wanted 500-700 dollars cash to pull her tooth and treat her? WHAT? I just don't get it....my mom is in the same boat, she is on Medicare and she has a tooth that needs treatment and she was given the option last week to have a root canal to the tune of $700 or have it pulled for $150 - now, how in the heck does a retired person on limited income with prices skyrocketing for groceries, utilities, etcetera afford $700 for a root canal - tell me? It is totally frustrating to me and reminds me how screwed up our country is - I mean we see all the adds and stories about these third world countries having no medical treatments and people are dying - I feel like we are not far behind but yet there is all the support monetarily being sent overseas - what about right here right now! Just kind of sad if you ask me - it makes me sad to even think about all the people with nothing and no healthcare, alone & helpless living here in the United States.
I am pretty simple on my thoughts and probably don't really understand the big picture but it is just sad and we need change.
I will vote - even though I feel like my vote won't count and I always know who will be president before I even cast my vote after work - which sucks and is wrong to televise that.
So what a lame post but the medical part has been wearing on my mind for awhile and irritates the hell out of me - if there was a way I could pay for my mom to have a root canal I would but I don't have that kind of money to give....if I did, I would, I know my mom likes to take care of herself and look nice and feel good about herself if she has no money or not! I would like to say she is proud but that is not the word I am looking for!
Anyway, I am off to save the world with my small little mind!

Fun & enlightening.....
Friday night I spent with a few of my friends scrapping at CPS, making a Halloweener star to hang somewhere....on the front door I believe....anyhow, it was fun, laughter and just relaxing to spend some time without too much responsibility hanging over us! Thank you to Kristi, Savan & the Queen for letting us play and laugh!
Saturday it was up at the break of dawn (okay well it seemed like the break of dawn after being up so late scrapping) to meet the sorority girls for coffee at The Sage - they have a wonderful rhubarb scone and I got the last one!!! We visited for a little over an hour and then it was off to the kids soccer game - after last Saturday I wasn't sure what to be expecting but all went well and we WON again - even though there is no winner or loser in Boys & Girls Club soccer! Afterwards I want to lunch with the family and then hit Joanne's - hey, my knee has got to be getting better if I can HIT JoAnn Fab and walk around there for a bit - I picked up a few goodies to embellish my altered BOO letters. The plan was for me to go back to CPS and finish the letter but I got busy visiting and was tired and knew I had an evening of festivities that started at 4:00 so the FINISHING part didn't happen.....although James enlightened me to the fact that she was concerned about my MISSING box of WTP checks....NOT the fact that they are missing but the fact that "I" ordered WTP checks to begin with - something MUST be wrong with me if I purposely ordered them to begin with or something CLOSE to that is what I was told! Okay, so no more WTP checks for me EVER.....never mind, this is the woman who orders antibiotics from INDIA through the mail!
So the 4:00 festivities was actually an auction to raise some money for a gentleman with cancer. I didn't know the gentleman but we knew who was playing for the auction (Marcos Dominguez) and so we had planned to go as a sorority group. They seemed to raise a lot of money for the guy and I feel like I really should know him but I can't figure it out. I purchased a couple things in the silent auction and one thing in the live auction - so I did help support the cause! Once the auction had ended and Marcos started up the dancing began. I was very impressed with Sandy Weaver (she teaches western dance classes) but WOWEE she can dance.... During these festivities I saw this dude and I knew he was making fun of me when I had one a door prize and had to go forward to pick it up....I noticed him making gestures on my way back to my chair, he was drunk, car salesman, you know the type!!! Anyhow, I watched him the rest of the evening and apparently he was quite "HANDY" with one of the ladies I was with who is married and we were laughing about him grabbing her boob 2x..... I was sitting by the door where people were stepping out to have a smoke and at one point he went out and was smoking and I must have gave him the SH#T eye because he came in and asked me why I was glaring at him and I said I wasn't and then he started massaging me and getting next to my face with his.....ick....I like my personal space and most people know that about me! He was definitely in it and he would NOT leave and he kept rubbing my neck and back.....HOLY CRAP....now what was I going to do! ICKKKKK As soon as he stopped I grabbed my stuff and left! I got in the car and quibbed out over it! GUCK.....ick, puke! I felt violated! I know his name but I am not posting it....but GROSS.....GROSS....grosss! DISGUSTING PUKE!
Sunday I slept in and then picked the kid up from G&G's and got a few groceries. Angelo decided he wanted to be a skeleton for Halloween so we picked up his costume - it was inexpensive which was good and he liked it which was another good! WHEW! After the shopping was done and the groceries were put away I hit the hay for a few hours because I knew I needed to watch Desperate Housewives & Brothers & Sisters - I think this is going to be a habit - the Sunday afternoon napping!
So what did you DO over the weekend?

I am raising my RIGHT hand in air & licking the window of the short bus.....
So if you keep up with my posts you know that I have been looking for my box of WTP checks for a week or so now....closer to 2 weeks - I was OFFICIALLY out of checks over a week ago. I ordered my replacement checks last Monday 9/22 and paid $5.00 extra to have them expedited. The case of the missing checks has caused me a lot of heartache, I missed out on a skein of yarn because the store didn't take debit cards - uh ya, "you might live in a redneck town if the craft store doesn't take debit cards....", I have been in an argument with my dear husband over having no checks and he has been tuned in to the whole Case of the Missing Checks though he hasn't participated in cracking the case (i.e. looking for the checks) - nope I am on my own in this mystery!
So here is where it begins....TURDMAN (also known as the man in BROWN - UPS) has delivered three times in the last two weeks, 1st time left the gate open, the dog got out.....he leaves...the neighbor retrieves the dog after a couple of hours of her sniffing all the pee spots & poop spots in the neighborhood and then yesterday when TURDMAN came, he dropped & ran (all quietly) on the front deck...so, that was the 2 times he was here....
The third time was apparently this...
The problem lies that I still had "thought" I had NOT received my checks so I just called to check on the order this a.m. and first off, I tell the lady I prayed (instead of paid - which we were both laughing) for speedy delivery and she tells me my checks were delivered to the back door by UPS on 9/24 - um that is 1 week they have been sitting at my back door. I don't use the back door and WHY may I ask does TURDMAN make 2 deliveries to the front door and then 1 delivery to the back door? I faintly remember a knock on the door but by the time I hobbled back there with my disability there was no one at the door and I thought "what the heck"....not thinking LOOK DOWN on the deck for a small package.
Uh ya - the phone call to the check center made me feel REALLY smart.....right now my right hand is in the air and I am licking on the front window of my home in between sucking on my finger from my new piercing!
