Hail Hail Ed was Here !!!

So this weekend Thom and Jackie humbly hosted a BBQ in Honor of Ed.
Now Ed is not your average co-worker. He is an amazing person who is the most self-less person I have ever met. So the crew (old Store18) got together and we had a surprise BBQ to give back to Ed. It was great he never suspected a thing. Everyone was there, Sweeney, Kevin, Roe, Thom, Jackie, Jimmie, Dan,Rob Crean, and Me. Great food. Good friends. Geek Speak...(conversation turned to greatest comic book heroes or something like that.
It was a perfect time. Thanks to Thom and Jackie for hosting, Kevin and Roe for helping put it together, Dan for buying BOTH chocolate and vanilla swirl hoodsies, and ED for being ED.

Triplets !!!

I stole these pictures from Jeff and Mary's blog.
They are of the new babies.

Six Feet Under

Well I am very excited. My mother has a friend who is an undertaker. I am completely fascinated by her profession. I am the annoying little kid that is like tell me this, tell me about that, what is the grossest... you get the point.
SO the best part of this story is that when I go home next week for the fourth of July I get to be the intern for the day at the funeral home. I think I will either love it OR be completely terrified. I will let you know.

My New Talent...writing subtitles

Vitamin D

Apparently I have a pretty severe vitamin D deficiency.The low end of the range is 33. Mine is 20. I think I might need some vacation time in a sunny sunny place.

Tonight

Was nice.

No game. I got to watch the TV.

I watched "Once", see post below.

AND we watched a movie called Love and Sex. It was really quite funny.

We are having an amazing thunder storm right now which I love.
I wish I did not have to go to work tomorrow. I have begun dreading work. Wondering if today will be the day that I will get fired. I have this thought like 3-4 days a week. It sucks. Plus it makes for a very unpleasant work experience.

I guess I will just stick to myself which I do for the most part anyway, except for Sonya. She rocks and makes my day tolerable...so does he that can not be named. But more so her. I can tell her to shut the fuck up and get away with it.

Today at lunch:
Funny story about Sonya. We drive Dave's car to Fresh City. I have my keys, she has Dave's.
She drives Dave's car. I have to reiterate. we get out she grabs my keys and keeps trying to lock the car with my keys NOT DAVE's...Then she panics...Who's keys are these? I was like they are mine...she responds"Oh my God, where are Dave's Key's"...Like she forgot them.
I was like excuse me dumb-ass you drove here...you needed keys for that.
She looked at me really confused and was like...oh yeah...Then she found them in Dave's car.

Maybe you had to be there. It was funny. Dumb-Ass.

Soundtrack Take 2

Another Song for the soundtrack.

This is from the movie Once. Which if you haven't seen it, is amazing.

I cry every time I see this clip.

Soundtrack to my life.

Am I the only person in the world that feels like they need to have a soundtrack to their life? Probably not. Believe me, this is not because I have an aire of self-importance this is because I feel that there are certain songs that just fit me, speak to me, I can relate to, or just love.

SO. I have decided to start listing the songs that would be on my sound track.

This will be a work in progress so you will have to bear with me.

The first song that is for sure going to be on my soundtrack is

Brooklyn Stars by Matt Pond PA.

in complete darkness
i lose balance
i'm getting dressed you're still asleep
think you're a fake
at not being awake
i reach the door your breath has changed
i do not stop
turn all the locks
don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait

the birds and cars
speak up when they reach morning
i know some day
the spring will return again

i'm returning to
a small green room
at 5:15 the sky has changed
from black to blue
still hardly day
these brooklyn stars are small and strange
i'm under roads
they're going home
next to statues of saints of snow

perfect plans cannot be made
i hate fights about merging on to interstates
i think people should realize
there are other lanes
not just theirs for only them
to get them home again
to go home again

in complete darkness
i lose balance
i'm getting dressed you're still asleep
don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait
there's no one there for you to save

i know some day
the spring will return again
the birds and cars
speak up when they reach morning
i'm not gone yet
i want more of everything

Ho Shoes For Your Baby!

Shauna Sand is kicking herself with her own exquisite lucite heels for not coming up with this mess! Some bitches have come out with high heels for your baby tranny! Heelarious High Heels are "extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes" that come in only one size (0-6 months).

You know, maybe this isn't such a bad idea. Train your prostitot to walk in these things and then buy her one of those pole dancing toys. With just a few hours of practice a day, she'll be ready to work the clubs full-time. After a few weeks, you can quit your job, stay home and watch Maury while your baby pays the bills.

Seriously, this shit is not "heelarious."

Being Almost Poor Sucks the Worst

OK.

So I decided to bite the bullet and see if I could qualify for some of the state assistance programs.

But NO.

You may think I am being ridiculous but NO.

I am tired of having $10.00 in my bank account.

So I make $176. more than I need to to get food stamps.

And I make $1200 too much for heating assistance. Kevin thinks I am being stupid by trying to apply. But whatever he makes almost 20,000 more than I do. And we have the same bills.

Maybe I can get a Un-Raise at work then I will qualify.

Whatever at least I have online dating to look forward to,

Top Chef

Did you watch the episode last night?

Yeah !!!! Lisa did NOT win. She is a crab ass.

Stephanie did. Which is cool.

NOW, if someone can find Sam from season 2 and bring him to me.
That would be great. Thanks-

Scout's Honor

I am a horrible person.

I lied to the Eagle Scout...and did it VIA text.

That makes me double horrible.

Pardon Me

So you will have to excuse the mis-spellings and typo's in the previous posting regarding "Scout's Honor". It was really early(late) and I wanted to write about it before I went to bed.

After talking about this guy today I have to decide the most tasteful way to rid myself of him. All I can say is that he started calling me at 8:30 this AM. And texting me all day and night long.

I have a knack for finding wacko's.

We all know I have a system for nicknaming guys I meet, too bad "crazy guy" was already taken. Plus, when I use that reference I have to clarify which one I am talking about...Western MA, no. The one here, Maynard. But I still have a soft spot for Maynard crazy guy. He is nice, just a little crazy.

And I wonder why my therapist laughs at me when I am telling her things. I am beginning to think she was lying, like in 3rd grade..."we're not laughing at you...we're laughing with you..."

So being the pro-active person I am I went back on my other account and "no thanks'ed" every guy who even looked suspicious, funny, or like he was sporting more merit badges than Troop Beverly Hills. I am taking no chances, which means in my world...

I am staying single.

Maybe I'll try J-Date.

Proof that internet dating is for losers

OK,
SO I tried it again. Put up an ad.
email a couple of times. Phone call.

Then the slow sinking realization comes into my world.
HELP !!!

I have been talking to this guy for two days. He seems nice enough but after one conversation I am having doubts. He seems a little needy. Wants me to call me like 5 times in one day.

Mistake #1- call him from cell. Now he has the cell # and the ability to text. Which he does, often.
I have only spoken to this person for two days.

Mistake # 2- ever picking up the phone.

In all fairness to him I am sure he is a nice guy, but I literally sat through a 25 minute story about the fact that he is an Eagle Scout and he is the representative for his town, and he is the only one to do it correctly...

I got a lecture on how to properly induct and Eagle scout. And dont mess with this guy.
If you do it wrong he is not afraid to call corporate. He has done it before. Did you know that Eagle scouting ceremonies were to be kept under an hour?

Next time you had better limit yours because he will not allow this, he is very passionate about these matters....

SO as I am getting this story from him I am holding my nose pinched trying not to laugh out loud at this guy. This 33 yr old man. Obviously we have NOTHING in common.

The best part of this entire story is the way he broached the subject.
"I have something you will applaud, something special that I haven't told you yet, I am an Eagle Scout".

I sat in absolute horror, silence for like 10 seconds, then replied, "you mean like a boy scout, um..thats nice"...
fade to silence...roll eyes.

I am mean I know it. I need to figure out how to make this one fade away quickly.

Vacation

Well it is my first offical day of vacation. I slept in until 7 AM. If this is the way it is gonna be...
