Asshat says What?
Today I went over to talk to one of the secretaries and she had this huge smudge of toner on her forhead. I says to Gina I says "you have some ink or something on your forehead" and she's like "uh, no it's Ash Wednesday" and I said "oh, I'm stupid." so yeah that was my retard moment of the week. But in my 28 years on this earth I've never seen the ash on anyone's forehead. Furthermore I thought I was doing her a favor by not letting her walk around with toner on her head. It wasn't in the shape of the cross either, it looked as though she had way to much ink on her hands and then wiped her head. Jesus, how was I supposed to know?In other news, JoJo is sick of cleaning up puppy pee. I swear to Jebus if she doesn't just wait until I'm not in sight and just lets it rip. I've been following her like a hawk but I never catch her peeing. What do I do? I've got 2 jobs. I can't be dictating my day around pee. Good news is that Shadow is finally accepting Chloe. She's plays with her now and they nap together. It's so precious I could just shit. Okay, time to go watch LOST. Until next time...
Baby on board
Chad brought Chloe home yesterday. I was so excited to get home and play with her. It was a very hard first day. Chloe is barely 6 weeks old. Just old enought to come home but still looking for mommies teet. Shadow is unhappy and agitated and has snapped at her about half a dozen times now. I couldn't wait for Chad to come home from work cause I was overwhelmed. I didn't relax until he came home. I don't like the whole getting-into-everything bit and I know it will pass and it's all new to her but I get agitated easily plus I'm having to keep a close eye on Shadow to correct her the instant she nips and Chloe. We put her in a box while we went to bed and she cried for pretty much the entire night. And not just any crying. Moaning and wailing as though she was being slaughtered alive. it was hard to take. I woke up and took her outside first thing and got her to pee in the grass. I did it 5 times today. Chad and I went to lunch and we left her out instead of putting her in the box. I was bit afraid of how we might find them when we got home but she was exactly where we left her. Then later I saw her go thru the doggie door by herself. That was crazy!! She's so tiny and her legs are probably 1" long so the base of the dog door is right at her eye level. She did it though. I had to coach her back in but she figured it out on her own so I am ecstatic. So now we need to potty train her. I think I did okay by myself today. But I don't know the first thing about anything puppy so this will be an experience. But it will be nice to have both of us here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting some sleep tonight. At least I know what to expect and I also have ear plugs!
where'd you go?
I was hanging out at Jackie's yesterday for Hunter's birthday. Jackie's dad asked me "hey have you lost more weight since the last time I saw you?" and I said "only 2 or 3 pounds more, not that many." Last time I saw him was Dec. 30. Then Jackie's mom asked me "so you are doing it just a bit at a time right?" and I said "yes, only about 1 or 2 pounds a week." I think she believed me but I'm not sure. They're not the first people to look at me in a concerned light. I've had a lot of good feedback about my weight loss and I still have a few pounds to go but some people are already looking at me as though I might be binging and purging, which couldn't be further from the truth. Some have said "oh, you're even skinnier this week than last, you'd better stop or you'll just disappear." I have a long torso and long legs so I think that any additional weight that comes off will draw even more eye brows to be lifted. I'm 5'10". I've had a few people tell me to cut it out soon cause now I'm too skinny. All the men at work who were friendly before are now dogs. I don't mean to sound conceited but they used to be gentlemen and now they're telling me how hot I am on a weekly basis. I'm still the same girl that they've known for the last 6 years. Every time I see someone they immediately tell me about how skinny I am now and what am I doing to get the weight off so fast. It's been 5 months now. That's not that fast for 30lbs total loss. It seems a girl can't win these days. Not that I'm complaining but I never knew that my weight loss would be causing such a stir. So basically my whole point to was let everyone know that I am not bulimic and that I am still eating food, daily, 4 times daily and drinking beer etc. Please don't worry about me cause although I've made some stupid choices in my life, I'd never do anything to intentionally hurt myself.
today was a good day
Had a huge blow out party for my side business this weekend at Jackie's house. It was a huge success. Made some money, had some drinks and had some good bonding time. We had 50 girls there and it was crazy. Afterwards Jackie, Lincoln and I sat around and sang kareoke for like an hour...really poorly. Jackie and I were singing in our opera voices but everytime a low part would come up we both went in to Barry White mode. It was fun. I would have drank more but I had to drive my happy ass home so I could get up this morning for Weight Watchers workshop. I carpooled with the lady I work with on Tuesday nights, her name is Judy. She is so funny. I think I've written about her before that last time we had a workshop. She's so generic. I don't mean that to be mean. She's just very basic. the type that only uses salt because pepper it too fancy. Anyway she gave me a bunch of helpful tips about Chloe on house breaking and so on. The reason I say my day was good is because...well let me take one step back. Thursday night meeting has blown up and we've had a very nice woman helping me and Barbie out the last month but she can't anymore and Barbie didn't tell our boss in enough time so our boss, her name is Cheryl, had to help out. I could tell she was cranky about being there. She doesn't live anywhere near that meeting and she was getting a cold so it wasn't great. I was nervous cause this woman hired me, sight unseen, no training and now she was about to see what I could do, or not do. I didn't crack. I handled 50 members payments etc in 15 minutes and then sent them to Cheryl to get weighed in. My line never backed up and I only made a small mistake the whole night. So today our workshop was all about filling buckets. The bucket is our confidence or attitude and about how others fill or empty our buckets. Basically is was supposed to teach us to be nice to others. Fine. I already know how to be nice. I am the poster child for nice, God damn it. So during the 3 hour thing Cheryl mentions how wonderful it was to work with me on Thursday night. That I was so effecient that it made her feel useless. I was so flattered that she singled me out of the big group and gave me such a great compliment. She really filled my bucket today! She is not the type to hand out compliments. She's a no-nonsense kinda lady. Doesn't say things just cause she's in charge. I don't always feel great after some meetings because it's still kinda new to me and I don't always have all the answers or even the right answers but she totally confirmed my worth to the company.
