Oy vey!

I knew it was coming... my Mom is on FB. And she found me. I knew she was there but didn't say anything to her about it... But my sister and I were joking about "FB Friends" and well... yeah.

Oh well. It's not like I post things that would upset her. I live my life open 'cause if I don't want my Abuela to find out something, well then I probably shouldn't be doing it.

It's finally Friday... it's been a long hot week. Hot doesn't even begin to cover it. I've lived in H-town since I was 6 and I don't remember heat like this in June. They keep comparing it to I think 1990 and some time in the early 80's but I just don't remember 1990. Of course that was summer after 8th grade and I was in Puerto Rico... that's probably why.

There was a cruel teasing of rain about 5:30 in Bear Creek and as I drove home I could see rain clouds ahead... but alas is wasn't raining in Katy. Just a sprinkle, a cruel sprinkle.

Came home to the Hermit Neighbors standing outside with just one of those hose sprinklers that's a circle, staring at their various shades of tan and brown lawn. They are the only ones on our block without a sprinkler system. I left bad setting ours off, but really our lawn is having some serious problems anyway... HOA crazies better back off the Hermit Neighbors 'cause it's not right to do that with this weather.

Here's hoping today moves quickly. I have a nasty little man to call today. He lives in Arizona so I have to wait. I had told him yesterday that I leave at 4:15... he left a message at 4:17. He was rude to me with a snarky comment so yeah I'm not bending over backwards for him.

Nice plan there people...

the MUD district has planned a meeting for next week... in the middle of the day when NO ONE CAN GO! Morons. Every.single.one.of.them.


People just make me want to slam my head on the desk... and then cry a bit.


So it's the middle of the week. I need to go buy joke stuff for Katie. I should go today so I'm not left frantic on Friday, but it's hot outside and I'm a lazy lazy person. It looks like it's turning into a big group of people. I only know a couple of them, and I plan on bailing out early. I should have been gathering dollar bills, but I've just started. I don't plan on being around when they are going to be used, I'll leave from the bar.

Some thing I've been mulling over... I've read about it from way back in the college/anthropology days... people only have a set number of friends and they lock into that number and don't change. They don't add unless someone moves away or drops out... Supposedly this is because people can only keep, I believe the max is 7 relationships going at any one time.

Limiting and a bit sad... well I guess not if you've got your set 7 and eveyone is everyone elses 7. If you're not then you have to make allowances for the friends of your friend etc.

Problems would arise if in your 7 are people who don't like each other.

People are strange and make things so much more complicated... *shrug*

Sooooo... I should get to heading downstairs to the file room. Not sure when people get in... maybe I should wait until 8am.

Research is the name of the game today. That's a-okay with me. I like to research, well when there is a file for me to use that is. D'oh! Don't know what I'm gonna find today. There is a possiblity that we were supposed to pay on a property for like 3 years and we haven't been. Excellent.

Okay yeah, game plan for today. Research research research, Candy-licious run and then phone calls. Whoo-hoo!

Well who knew...

OMG! This article is so dead on for me... and I still have moments when I'm still that 35+ heavier person.

Good to know I'm not mental.

at least not about that anyway.

So yes, today... lots of little projects nothing terribly scary just little and tedious.

Tonight after work we're going to see the baby. Just a quick visit I'm sure. Don't think the new Mom is up for much more than that.

JP has also, much to my embaressment, commissioned an artist friend of ours for a portrait of me. She does amazing work, it's just the whole deal makes me self consciene and I'm not too crazy about it.

I don't have to sit for the whole thing, just go in for some pictures and she'll work from that. We're emailing to figure out when would be a good time to do it etc.

Ah well...

And it looks like there is already a scheduling conflict for the 4th... Tony & Rosslyn are having a BBQ and so are Dave & Karon... hrm... Tony & Rosslyn are closer, and both people cook amazing food... sheesh that's gonna be a tough call... I wonder if we'll end up at both.

HOA is just legal crazy time...

Saturday morning our water pressure dropped at the house. There were Boil Water postings at all the MUD signs for all of Saturday, well after the pressure returned in the afternoon.

Turns out it was due to people watering their lawns because of the lack of rain for the last... what two weeks now.

Problem is if you have even a single brown patch you get a threating letter from the HOA regarding the "condition" of your lawn. The condition is, there is no rain get over it.

Yeah this is gonna be an interesting summer. I'm hoping though that once water restrictions start they'll get over themselves a bit. My guess is that in a few more weeks it'll start. Gonna have to learn how to deal with the sprinkler system.

Waiting for the movie to start. I'm at the Drafthouse to see The Proposal. Was hoping I'd get the place to myself but no luck. Hope they take my order soon as I'm starving!!!

What will the rest of the summer bring?!

Geez-o-PETE! I went out to Central Market and melted as soon as I hit the parking garage. Man it was HOT and only 11:15, so not the high point of the day yet.

When I came back I had soaked in so much heat I had to put my hair up in a pony tail.


I've been dealing with a not too bright accountant. I don't know how new she is, but man no one bothered to train her at all. She actually put in an inquiry because the payor changed and THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED.

I called to make sure I understood her and had to bite my tongue not to laugh. She seriously didn't understand that payors change all the time. Yeah, like really frequently and no we don't do a new set up for each one... that's their side.

So instead of just telling her I told her I'd confirm what was going on and get back to her. Just 15 minutes ago I send her an email saying what's going on and her response...

she wants if I found out anything on a different property...

um... why would I even look at the other property when you didn't ask me too!? Oh wait that's right I don't have anything better to do than baby sit an accounting twit. I forgot about that. I should have just known that you meant that property too.

*headslamdesk*

Some times I wonder if these types of people just hear white noise all the time.

Out Sick...

Yeah I came down with a stomach virus on Sunday morning and felt like crud until yesterday.

Today I'm not feeling all that great, I have a scorcher of a headache. I've taken pills already but it hasn't changed at all. We'll see how long this lasts before I have to barf in my trash can. Yeah it's that bad.

So yeah I don't know when/how I picked up the virus. I was at a tot birthday party with two babies who are in daycare so germs abound. But I wasn't feeling all that great earlier in the day. I just chalked it up to social anxiety.

Geez, my head is pounding! I've had to turn off my overhead lights...

Anyway, aside from the party I didn't do much this weekend since I got sick. I did get my hair cut and I'm not happy with it. She cut blunt bangs and that is a huge pain since my straight hair has a mind of it's own. Good thing I bought that flat iron... stupid blunt fringe bit

I didn't go baby shopping so I'll get to that on Friday after the dreaded yearly Smudge visit.

Yes, it's that time where Smudge strikes fear in the hearts of the vet techs of the Copperfield Animal Clinic. I think the lady who took down the appointment time is new as she didn't get that, "oh... Ooooh!" in her voice when I mentioned the appointment was for Smudge.

I did warn that regardless of who was administering the shots she would be difficult so it's all on them.

JP still doesn't know if he'll be back Friday or Saturday. I don't think he'll know until Thursday which stinks.

*sigh* I just want to feel better...
