ABC's and I got promoted!!!!
Admiring: My pretty new hobo bag I bought yesterday because I GOT PROMOTED!
Beating myself up about: Letting my child watch Courage the Cowardly Dog. I can see his brain cells die every time it comes on.
Crying over: Everything. Always. My chromosome's demand it.
Daydreaming about: Lounging in bed all day in warm PJ's reading a good book and drinking wine
Excited because: I GOT PROMOTED!!!
Frustrated because: I can't get my lazy non cleaning ass in gear and straighten out my dresser
Grumpy because: It's Thursday. Not wonderful, paycheck getting, get to sleep in tomorrow Friday.
Hate-filled and seething over: The fact that I attract stupid people.
Indignant because: My MIL is harping over the fact that my shit's broken and I'm not knocked up yet. Bite me old woman.
Just shoot me now because: I have to train my replacement tomorrow. See above comment about stupid people.
Kidding myself regarding: The size 4 jeans in my closet
Listening to: Ellen. She cracks my shit up.
Mooning over: Pictures of adorable kitten's my husband will never let me have. Butthead.
Need: A haircut. Badly.
Obsessing over: Mucous and morning temps
Praying: That I won't have to take my temp at 2:45 every morning for too damn much longer
Questioning: My ability to NOT cry when my new boss screams at me like he does everyone else
Reading: Something by the guy who wrote The Prince of Tides. It was suggested to me and it's taken me so long to get thorough it I may declare it a coaster instead of a novel.
Singing: Bumblebees... Thunder Chief..... (Courtesy of a coworker. It's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap you blithering idiot!)
Trying: To get that GODDAMNED SONG out of my HEAD.
Unnerved by: This. Just…yeah.
Valentiney Update: I got my husband a kick ass coyote decoy and if the bastard's don't get it here in time I'm kicking some one's ass!
Wondering: When MIL is bringing the by home. I miss him
X-rated action: Right. Please see entry O.
Yawning over: The fact that I got up at 2:45 am. Except it was really 2:30 b/c my possessed alarm clock decided it would fast forward its self.
Zoinks: This seemed like a good idea when I started

Ten things I've done that you probably haven't
A meme courtesy of a very funny lady Beej (of the boob brigade)
1- Nursed a 33 month old. This is the single most controversial thing I've done lately and it's the dumbest argument I've ever had. I'm not asking *you* to nurse him, so back off.
2- Shot a 43 second round in an IPSC competition. Three stages, 36 pieces of steel. I rock for an amature.
3- Ended up with my both feet and half my ass hanging out the window of a Jeep, with the gear shift lodged rather firmly in my eye socket, realizing that although I came with in inches of certain death my lovely BIL still had his Budweiser bottle clamped firmly between his teeth. And hadn't spilled a drop.
4- Loaded 1200 boxes in 3 hours. And enjoyed it. Working your way up at your friendly brown parcel service makes you feel accomplished.
5- Managed to sufficiently embarrass my self with aluminum foil. When I was 12 I was nursing my first curling iron burn and had recalled at some point hearing that you could apply foil as a remedy. What no one told me was that FOIL is the actual brand name of a burn ointment. My family will never let me live that down.
6- Memorized the entire "Who's on first base" routine made famous by Abbott and Costello. My dad and I have it perfected and it makes a wonderful party trick.
7- Gone 25 years without ever having mowed a lawn. I grew up on 20 acres with a father who's motto is "Anything worth doing is worth having hired done."
8- I sport (rather proudly) a burn scar in the perfect shape of a .45 shell casing. Right between my boobs.
9- Received my first set of stitches from construction equipment. How you ask? I fell on a bulldozer. I was at a friends house and and to pee something awful. Instead of traipsing my happy ass from his shop down to the house I decide to relieve myself out of sight by walking around the corner. In pitch darkness. I tripped and hit my knew on the bulldozer blade. 8 stitches and a tetanus shot later I still haven't learned my lesson. As was evident by the poison ivy rash on my bum this summer.
10- Survived ovarian cancer. Twice.

TANSTAAFL
Ok I got tagged by Babs to carry on this meme. I'm supposed to write something giving an example of the phrase, "There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch" in action. And tag five other people.
Here's what I'm going with-
The increase in minimum wage. Why is every one so freaking excited about this? Oh yes, because they haven't thought it through.The House voted to increase the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 and hour over the next two years. To those making $5.15 an hour that sounds great. And extra two plus bucks an hour Woo-Hoo!
Wrong. Here's what going to happen Mr. and Mrs. Minimum Wage... The small businesses are going to raise their prices in order to compensate for the extra income they're paying out. Which means your cost of living is at the very least going to remain the same if not even increase. Instead of paying .98 for that can of green beans on your $5 and hour income you'll be paying over a dollar on your new and improved income. Not to mention that new nifty tax bracket the good old government put you in. You know, the bracket that means they can take more money out in taxes every week? Because they'll raise your income sure as shit but they certainly aren't going to change the brackets to give themselves less money.
And in two years when the final raise is given, those of you working for Small Business, who are really the only people still paying $5.15 an hour, are going to find yourselves totally unemployed. Because no matter how much they raise their prices to compensate for the income increase many of them are still going to find themselves in a crunch. And they're going to have to sink or swim. When your faced with the proposition of drowning, getting rid of dead weight is your first choice. So now, not only will the prices of goods have increased, suddenly, you find your self with no job at all. And you can bet your bippy that the welfare checks aren't going to increase with the minimum wage.
So Mr. Minimum Wage Earner, before you get all excited over the idea that the this new Democratic government is so wonderful that they've decided to give you more money remember that shit travels downhill. Like Reagan himself joked "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
