Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Happy May Day my dear readers, followers and fellow bloggers!  I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating the mayness!  :)  As you may have read already, there was a wondermus maypole party last night that went into the wee hours of today, I managed to drink too much and exhaust yet another liquor.  Oh well moving on..  I managed to take a picture tonight, before I forgot..  :)  Which also reminded me to catch up my postings. 

So here we are Sunday. It was an awesome day here. The weather was awesome and was finally able to get the scooter started. Made sure to ride it for a bit also. Took it to the store, was terrified and told myself that I'd sell the damn thing. I changed my mind on the way back home, wasn't as scared then.  ha ha. It's so weird.  Oh well, we will see how it goes next time. I like it at times, or maybe I like the idea of it.  Maybe it's the glamour in the whole thing. Although I was never one to find motorcycles and 2 wheeled death traps as Glamorous!  I shall not give up hope yet. Give it some time, see what I really think.  Sadly, I think it may not be for me.  But we shall see.  I've high hopes to conquer my fear, but I worry that isn't something I should be attempting to conquer, that perhaps me being scared is for the best?!    So back to today.....  My aunt hosted yet another family gathering, I love those.  It's my uncles birthday yesterday, he said he was 45.  It was a great time. Went riding in his Jeep Wrangler, which I will add, I LOVE A JEEP WRANGLER.  Hung out and chatted with all my favorite family members, there were a few who were not there this time. Sad!  But it was a lot of fun, I'm thankful for the events we have together and my cousin, who I talked about in my Saturday post, well her and I are planning to have a bridal shower for my sister. Ooooo Fun! 

So with that dear readers, I will leave you.   The TV is my distraction as well as the little IM's that are popping up on my Facebook. Have a pleasant night, happy Mayday and I shall post something for tomorrow! 

Day 76, 354 days of 2011

Hello and goodnight dear bloggers...  How was your Monday? I must say, it wasn't too bad. For that I am glad. We were slightly busy today, *high fives*, nothing to complain about. The week of an auto auction usually keeps me busy anyway. Why do they make me call all 700 of those people?  It just isn't fair.  Unfair.. Terrible and awful!

Damn I look shot out... lol... Anyways... I rode my scooter today!  OMG I was scared to death on the way home. Absolutely terrified and don't really know why that is. I wasn't that bad on the way to work.  I mean, is that normal?  I was so very happy to get my daughter back from her dads.  Why is it I hate it when she's gone... My separation anxiety has been bothering me these past months or so!  That aside... I was so scared today on the way, I think I was on the verge of tears.  Silly isn't it?!  Oh well.. I only hope it gets better. I've every intention of hopping back on it Thursday!  Whewt Whewt! 

Goodnight readers, followers and fellow bloggers.   I shall attempt to stay on top of this jazz for the week and weekend :)

Afraid of the Dark.

I'd never given much thought on racing the sun home.  I've never worried about being home before dark.  This morning after my fit of anger calmed a little, soothed itself into a burning nauseous feeling in my stomach I gave some thought on my motorcycle permit.  The regulations on said permit are as follows: No passengers, No highway/interstate travel, and no riding after dark.  This regulation is what I pondered about today. I always heard my grandma say she couldn't drive after dark. I know it has nothing to do with this. Something about picturing her racing the sun home made me think. I've all intentions of riding my scooter, as often as  possible whenever possible. I also have a 7 year  old daughter who CANNOT  per those regulations. It really puts a damper on my whole riding.  Although I can't complain because I am terrified of my daughter being on the back of a scooter, or motorcycle, especially with an untrained driver, especially with me. I doubt myself on rare occasions, most of said occasions are concerning my daughter.  Hey.. .What can I say? I'm a worried mother of 1.  It will probably be the death of me, the worry for my child, but I assume that's what most good parents do?  Right?  Or am I just completely off my rocker today?!!  Back to what I was saying. The thoughts of racing my scooter home to beat the sun down, although a funny thought, me racing the sun like "When Darkness Falls".

That's one scary bitch!

Though there will be no mad tooth fairy there to kill me and remove all of my teeth.  That movie frightens me, as does all horror movies. I've never seen the tooth fairy with the exception of that movie and that most recent happier movie with The Rock. Wait is he "The Rock" or "Dwayne Johnson"  Did I even spell his name right? I'm too lazy to click over to google and confirm.  So I've no reason to fear her chasing me in the darkness in order to gain her prize. My teeth and my life.  Scary movie... 

So today... It's Friday. I'm searching frantically for the better  of today. So far it's been one unfortunate event after another with the exception of having lunch with my daughter, which unfortunately I was late arriving. She was already in her seat with her lunch when I got there, but she caught me peeking through the doors at her and the look on her face was that of pure excitement. That melted my heart and made my day everything else aside. The car trouble, the battery trouble (don't worry, I'll tell you all about it in another post).  It was awesome to get a lunch, sit with her and give her her new Gomu erasers she's been begging for all week.  Ahhh to be Mom!

Good day my readers... Stay tuned for other posts to come on my eventful day so far this lovely Friday!

Day 71, 365 days of 2011

Hello there bloggers, readers and followers. What okie dokie.  Whew, finally. It was a rough start there, the week that is. But it's coming around, I think. *fingers crossed* anyways!  :)

So I toyed with the idea of occasionally using a picture other than my goofy head, lol.  I'm trying this on for size for a post or 2 or something.  My cell phone died last night while having a lovely chat with my mom!  I was able to get in one picture for the day though.

*happy dance, happy dance* I was able to get my tag for my scooter! YAYYYYS!  I was so glad. It was so easy, no line this time! Whewt Whewt!  So that is now behind me. I've no more worries in regards to titling or registering my new scooter. Thank goodness. Now I can focus on learning to ride it WELL. I took it to the mailbox yesterday, parked it and ran to the box. The silly thang fell over..  I couldn't believe it. So glad I opted for used and not a new one. I would feel so bad if my NEW pink scooter crashed to the ground. This one, not so much. No big deal.  Some guy was telling me I couldn't park it like that and picked  it up for me, which was nice. He also noted it had some weight to it. Whatever that means. lol. I guess it weighs like 5oo lbs or something .I've no idea!

I'm off to other adventures, all in all, I'd say it was a good day 71!  How was yours?

Day 69, 365 days of 2011

Well hello there again my fellow bloggers, readers and followers. It's 69 days into this project. Holy Moly, this kind of makes the year go by faster.. Does for me anyways!  I made sure, after blinding attempts to rid of the damn flash on my camera phone.  That thing is ridiculously bright. Like, it just doesn't make any sense how bright that flash is!

Happy Monday folks. I meant to take the picture at work today. But of course, I didn't. It was another slow day at work. Blah!  I did run my arse to the DMV, which I will add sucks big fat somethingoranothers!  For real. I stood there for an hour and my worse fears came true. Because "dippy" <-thats what I'm calling the lady who sold me my scooter. I can't give her all of the blame. I know better. So I bought this scooter from her, she never registered this scooter and the paperwork she gave me was a title, with a repo letter stapled to it. A bill of sale where she bought it and she wrote me a bill of sale. Oh yay!  I know better than this.. I know better!  damnit why did I buy it?!! So they tell me that the lien holder, who has signed off on the FRONT of the title needs to sign off on the BACK of the title.  Oh horse shit. So not only did I waste an hour of my time in this GODFORSAKEN place, I now get to take my arse to the city of GAINESVILLE, the city I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about, only to get lost and go postal!  yes... You can sense my excitement cant you?!!! UGH!!  So everyone, I've become an idiot....  Yay!  I get to do more leg work because I didn't think everything through as I should, that and Dippy should have registered the damn scooter and made things so much easier. But no!  It's never easy...  Nope! 

I'm sorry for my rantings... Like for real. SORRY!

So good news.. I RODE MY SCOOTER TODAY!  yay!  It was AWESOME!  I will add that speed bumps SUCK!  Like oh my wow. I had no idea how sucky that would be. That and I was flying over them like a psycho!  ha ha. My first time what can I say?!!  I didn't crash.  Or wreck, hit anything or anyone!  I'd call it a success. I was even able to put the kick stand down by myself. That thing seemed like a real pain in the arse the other day, but today was easier. Maybe it's the direction in which I was putting it down.  We were able to locate just the side kick stand though, will definately make it a lot easier for me when I'm out and about!  *high fives*

Goodnight everyone.. Cya tomorrow :)

Day 67, 365 days of 2011

Good morning my Sunshine... It was an early day this morning. I'm silly and made an appointment at 10am to get a scooter.  Oh. Fun. Thank gawd my daughter must have known and woke me up at like 8ish this morning.   Yes, 8am on a Saturday. Oh. Yay!  But honestly. It's always like that.  Just wait when she's older, she won't get up. Will sleep in all day and I be bored waiting for her to get up. I think maybe I will run in there like she does with me and JUMP into her bed, yelling her name.  ha ha. Bet a teenager would just LOVE their mother to do that, wouldn't they?  I can foresee many black eyes and bruises!

Back to the point... Here is the beginning of my excitement today!

Yay my new scooter. It's A-dorable and mine all mine. Sadly I have yet to ride my scooter around. To be honest, I'm absolutely terrified!  Ha!  Go figure. But I'm bound and determined to get on it and go. I want to do it. I'm scared as hell of crashing, everyone keeps telling me I'm going to get run over. Leave it to all the people I love to remind me how crazy I am and to rain on my parade.  ha ha. I can't blame them, I'm terrified without their words telling me bad things!  I already know the cons of motorcycle accidents.  I spent some time in biker bars in my younger days and it's crazy the people you see come and go, with motorcycle boo boos. Met one lady, she lost her ARM on a motorcycle crash.  And here I am, buying one. Guess you can only imagine my fear. It should be a lot of fun. I know I can do it and do it safely.  I'm convinced!  :)  On this subject. I managed to find me an AFFORDABLE helmet! *high fives* Also picked up a lock and chain.  score!  It's a win win. :)  Am actually excited to get it out and toy around with it! 

My daughter had her first swimming lesson today. We started the trip with "I don't want to go" , "What if they let me drown". Ugh it was frustrating to say the least. Being as my daughter cannot swim.  Plus I've already paid in advance for these lessons. So we make it, still grumbling about it, waiting waiting. They finally get into the water. Yes!  It went well. She said she liked it.  So yay!  I am glad. Maybe they can teach her how to swim, hell they better!  Like for reals!  She flopped around and splashed and didn't kick half the time, silly girl. She will get better though.  Right? 

Well, this is funny, but I totally forgot about that morning picture up there. So I sat down on the couch tonight and was like, crap, I gotta take my picture and get it all posted. Had no idea I forgot to post yesterdays. Derp.  So here we are.....  This is what I had for the evening. I managed to get a haircut today. While is it people, well hairstylist always ask me "are you sure?" Uhh, yea I'm sure. cut the hair the way I tells ya to cut the hair!  okay?  Got it lady.  I mean it was like pulling teeth last time I got my hair cut. I wanted it done a certain way and well she was to SCARED to do it!  What?  Just do it!!!!  Then today I'm like, cut my bangs, cause it's been a while.  She's like, what?!!!  I was like damn, why you hairstylist or whatever they are called always ask me this. Like I'm crazy or something. I think I like my hair. It's the best I can do with what I have right now. So cut it the way I WANT IT CUT, DAMNIT!!!

And I'm tired. Time changes tonight. For that I am glad. But technically at like 230 or something its only going to be like 130. I'm to tired for all of that!  Like for real. It's been a long day.  Had my moments of stress but all in all, I guess it was an OK day!  *high fives* Goodnight my friends, fellow blogger, readers and followers. Have an awesome tomorrow!  

Happy Friday?

Damn it I have wonderful blog ideas right at bed time, when I lay down in those moments before sleep hits.  Had some crazy dreams last night, one of which has stuck, not complaining or sharing that one.  Naughty, naughty bad!  Weird.. Nuff said!  haha... 

So it's Friday. I've every intention of heading to the city called Suwanee, tonight to hopefully *fingers crossed* purchase me a scooter. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. I've never had to really worry about where to put things like that. Being as I've never owned or even riden a scooter.  I did find myself in an unfortunate event as a child, no broken bones, didn't even crash. But I took off on a dirt bike, very small dirt bike. My aunt and uncle had this big pile of wooden boards, from whatever project they were from, I managed to take off and ramp right over that stack of wood. I'd imagine I looked very little like those professional bikers who jump hills and ramps all the time. Legs were probably flailing about and Im sure I looked like a jackarse!  hahah. My grandma came close to having a heartattack. My grandma. I love her dearly, but she gives a new meaning to the word "overprotective" Like for real. It's slightly RIDICULOUS how over protective she is.  You can only imagine the countless times she rushed to our rescue unnecessarily.  We as children spent a lot of time with our grandparents.  I remember the good and bad times.  But that's not for today.

So all in all, it's a  Happy Friday.  No, not really. There's a terrible awful mess Im sure we have all heard about. I was attempting to be insensitive this morning, but low and behold I feel awful that Japan and other countries are suffering and losing.  Hopes and healing thoughts they will rise up and stay strong.

So I've lost my trane of thought and where I was going with this posting.   Don't hold your breath I will have my 365 Days post later.  If not other random babbles for today!  Have an awesome day.  As well as you can anyways!

Day 65, 365 days of 2011

Hello... well just about goodbye day 65.  Can't believe Ive been at this for 65 days. I will admit I have missed a couple of them along the way but I'd say all in all, it's going... OK.  I R Proud of myself... A little. 

So yesterdays lunch with my girl friend was fun.  Lawd knows I never have lunch dates with girl friends, so it was a change of pace and a nice breath of fresh air. The weather sucked arse.  Rained all day yesterday.  It was no fun at all. Glad that is over. Now it's just cold and miserable here. Ugh!!  Maybe I get lucky and we have some nice weather over the weekend. *fingers crossed*

So I'm thinking about adding some brown streaks to my hair, nothing to drastic. I've got a lot of good reviews on my blond hair, so I'm thinking about keeping it, for a minute.  But Lawd knows I simply must change it constantly and my head is feeling better now.  Ideas?  Thoughts?  I'm open to whatever. Need to get it cut. It's shaggy and crappy.

Did I tell you all I passed my motorcycle knowledge test?  I now have a learners permit to drive a motorcycle. I'm pretty fricking excited!  I'm a little terrified and am in the market for a scooter. I only did it so I could get a scooter. I've not decided if I'm cool enough to ride a motorcycle. So I shall stick to the dorkier version, called a scooter.  ha ha. It should be a lot of fun!  Right?  If you ever had the passing thought to go take the learners test... It's easy peasy, well in GA it is.  ha ha... If you can read, you can pass the test. I did miss one question though.  There were 20 questions, you were allowed to miss 5.  I missed the one when it asked what will happen if your back tire goes flat. I don't remember reading that in the book. Bastards! 

District 9. Yea. It's on the television right now.  um... It's early in the movie.  Um...WTF?  Sorry sci-fi folks. I don't get it. I've not watched the whole movie, to be honest, I'm not sure I have the ability or the patience to sit through this one.  Someone tell me about it. Or has anyone actually watched it?  Where are the zombies?  WTF District 9?  Sheesh! 

Goodnight my friends, fellow bloggers, readers and faithful followers. Have an awesome Friday and if you are already having your Friday.  You suck.... I'm kidding.
