Damn...what a storm. I was all in workday mode, got home from work, saw it was about to storm, figured I'd head out to the store after it blew over. Except it didn't. It rained and thundered like crazy, so I just snuggled up on the couch to watch VH1 (I Love the 70s Vol. II)--then SNAP! the power went off. So the power was...

I love when the power goes out like that (for a short time anyhow) for just this reason. So amazingly quiet. You just can't do that any other way without a power outage.

nc_guy:
What a great journal entry! I can appreciate all of that. I love it when the world gets quiet. Also, you've inspired me to go get candles tomorrow since I've been out since the Winter.

I can certainly understand what you mean about the solitude aspect.

Hump Day! biggrin
I am absolutely freezing...I hate air conditioning. Well, I don't hate it, I'm glad I can keep my house at 78 rather than 98, but I hate the feeling of cold air blowing on me...*shivers* Marksy is having company right now and he always cranks up the air when somebody comes over. Plus I work in an office with huge industrial vents and...

I hate super cold air conditioning also! I guess I picked the right job...because it's hot as hell on the Buff. puke Really though I enjoy warmer weather, though my ideal is spring and fall because it's a nice moderate temp.
bites:
Totally a guy thing...its all that body hair. I much prefer it hot. At least if oyu are hot you can strip down to the bare minimum. I too hate the cool / cold air blowing directly on me.. I say as I am sitting onmy bed under an air vent in thermal pants smile I gotta figure out our new digital thermostat!

Ouch, another Monday.
The weekend turned out to be pretty good considering how much I was dreading "the shower" Saturday. Fortunately nobody came early and not too many people showed up. I didn't have a drop of alcohol either. shocked
But I was so damn tired from cleaning up I would have passed out if I drank. Note to self: do not attempt to decorate with...

confetti is like easter grass...you'll find that shit for years to come.
glad you had a good weekend after all.

Confetti, easter grass, and silly string are the three great PRIME EVILS of housecleaning. I guess with my prime evils mention you can tell I've been playing a lot of Diablo lately lol...

Yippee it's weekend time. That was sarcasm. tongue
Tomorrow is my dreaded debut as hostess to a bridal shower. I think I've got everything together so tomorrow will just be decorating and picking up the cake (which will be yummy, a Coldstone Creamery Raspberry Truffle Temptation cake.) Then again, I have enough Yeungling in the fridge to get me through just about anything. wink
Hey, that's a...

Damn...last night was a blast...literally. A cop did show but let us off the hook...according to Marksy he just asked if we were done and went on his merry way. I think I've figured out which nosy neighbor snitched on us...some crazy old lady who lives by herself down the street from us. We were probably ruining her Matlock rerun or something.

So I drank...

Superman was very good, definitely a continuation of the Christopher Reeve movies. Lots and lots of relationship angst. I was so happy that they used the John Williams music rather than trying to come up with something new.

fun time had a blast thanks again

I had the pleasure of going to a "lingerie shower" for my friend today. To some people, a lingerie shower consists of crotchless panties and penis-shaped lollipops. However, out in the backwoods of North Carolina, I considered her very lucky to get the satin nightgowns that she got, instead of the flannel jammies and "Git 'R Done" t-shirts I was afraid she'd get. smile
So now...

Much better day today...as in, work didn't suck as much as Wednesday...as in, the head asshole went back to Roanoke. smile Still, it seems like work is getting more and more in the way of real life. The only thing I get out of it is the paycheck, which is pretty crappy, so the job definitely takes more from me than it gives back--time is more...

Ugh! Neighbor kids...hehe at least you could start some crazy rumors about yourself that would scare all the local kids away skull ...except maybe they might throw rocks at the windows and that gets expensive!!!
boleyn:
Hope your shower thing wasn't too awfully boring. Thanks again for having us over (check out my new "about me" quote) biggrin

See you in a couple days my lovely kiss

What a day. surreal
When I got into work today, what was the first thing I saw, but the owner of our company sitting at my desk. Yep, I almost turned around and went home right then and there.
(Backstory: I work for a small trucking company that has like 6 terminals in the Southeast, and the owner drives down from Virginia to visit us A...

Hmmm...if you can hold off until Saturday I'll buy! smile

Yeah, I really hate working someplace where the owner is like this. In fact, sounds like the same guy. He used to come up and grab my stomach and twist and tell me how fat I was. Finally I just started telling him "Well, at least I'm not old and ugly." biggrin biggrin Of course, I only recommend this strategy if you plan on quitting soon (as I did). smile

Sorry to hear about the asshole.

kiss kiss
nc_guy:
That absolutely sucks about your boss. He sounds like a real pain in the ass. I HATE people that abuse their power like that. It'll catch up to him at some point.

I just saw two great things when I got on this here internet right now. The first thing was a news item about Axl Rose biting a security guard's leg in Sweden. Gotta love that crazy motherfucker. Well, you don't gotta love him, but you have to at least appreciate the sheer magnitude of his ego/mental illness/whatever you want to call it.

Then I got...

Axl Rose? I thought he was dead, or at least his career was.

I'll have to hope that someone forwards that commercial to me. Sounds great.
munke:
Sadly, Axl Rose + bad plastic surgery = frown + puke

I totally love the monsoon seasons we're having, but god damned if you're not right.... rain on the 4th of july is BAD BAD news!

My big pile of fireworks have BETTER get lit on Tuesday. grrRRRrrrrr.

What book are you reading these days???

We went to Metrolina Wildlife Park today with cherries1979 & Mike1917. It was a lot bigger than I imagined and the owner/trainer REALLY loves tigers more than anything, so there were a lot of Siberian and Bengal tigers. But there were also monkeys, snakes, wolves, bears, and other cute things. The animals had plenty of space to roam and play, and at the end...

Where is my fucking disco ball and mirrored jacuzi??? GOD DAMN IT FUCK FUCK DAMN SHIT FUCK!!!

I will eat your life.

Also, there was this thing once which sat on my head. It jumped and grinned while I got a headache. It said it's name was Billy-Jane and it had a hacksaw. I never did believe no Billy-Jane. There weren't no hacksaw that I ever seen and I told it so. Then it cut me and I fucked myself.

Such are the life of dreams.

Martina's set was d' bomb! Sounds like your weekend is going to more than make up for last weekend. Have a blast! biggrin
