Pick 5 words that remind you of me.

While my Beloved's Beth and Wade snowboarded in the front yard I had my own fun.... ummmm.... yeah, fun.
Erin came down for a visit, and we headed out for a night at Lido accompinied by Jess. All went normal, hanging out dancing, and such. Strange was on hand to fend off all 'creepy guys'. Strange is a friend of Aarons who also frequents Lido and we have an understanding, I am there to dance and have a good time, anyone bothers me and he comes to my aid. Nice little system we have going. The evening is pretty normal, lots of line dancing (yes I do love to line dance) a few guys wanting to dance... Strange saves me. And then before you know it a Tall Lanky ass Bitch in a peasant skirt shows up with a boi who is into hip hop battle dancing and another guy I assume was her date. They order wine (WTF who orders wine at a country bar?!(mind you this is a OLD country bar). Drunk Bitch does some swing dancing with the Boi and keeps falling on her ass... even falls out of the chair. And then the Boi gets kicked off the dance floor for slamming into everyone. And Drunk Bitch is ready to drive them home... never mind that last week Drunk Bitch backed into the Drummer's (Kevin) wifes car and preformed a hit and run. Kevin's wife offers to call a cab for Drunk Bitch and party. Drunk Bitch tries to take a swing.... cops are called... all is resolved.
...Or not. Cops leave Drunk Bitch un-arrested. She is carried off by guys like she is a 2x4 later a regular goes outside to find her tires on her vette have been slashed and so has the cloth top. Cops are called report is made, we go back outside and someone ran over vette....
I then broke up 2 bar fights... and people think my life is boring.
On the 15th I switched my tanning location to a place closer and they offer discounts on the products!
The 16th I met with a Trainer on base and we started setting me up a work out circut to tone and firm.
The 17th Erin came down and I took her out to Lido Inn where she met some of my friends Like Strange, and Jason. We are going back tonight.
I saw a seagull today.
This may seem small and insignificant. But for me it is so much more.
For me a seagull is hope tempered with reassurance wrapped in a warm blanket of love. You could say they are my 'angels'.
This is not a new thing, tho most would think it came from having a sailor for a husband. Seagulls predate relationships for me.
As a child in Oklahoma a seagull is not a common thing to see, but I did. Always on a day that I was feeling down or something went wrong a solitary seagull would fly past, and I would feel at ease. I saw one shortly after my Grandfather's passing and many other changing points in my life.
Now I live near a beach, but rarely see them unless I am at the beach or at the pier. Today I saw one as I was leaving work, just one.
As some of you may have gathered February is a low point for me, has been since I was a teen. With Valentines Day being the final jab.
Today I saw a seagull, today things will turn around.
My uncle wrote this for Versatile Hunting Dog Magazine.
This means the damn month is nearly (halfway) over.
As I was sitting in drive thru today I had the worst urge to bust out into 'camptown races' just to see what the people in drive thru would do. No real reason otherwise. Dont know where that came from either.
To maintain my momentum I planned to hit the gym. I come home from work and veg on the couch, Neko hops up and joins me. We 'cat napped' together. What a odd little cat she is. I wake up as the power goes out. I can only guess this was some sort divine intervention to keep me from skipping the gym.
Step aerobics were BRUTAL. There is a new teacher who has it in her head that we 'need' to incorporate tae bo and cardio kick into class... uh uh.... theses knees cant work that way. But all was not lost, I did run into my old teacher that I LOVED and she is now a trainer, so I have an appointment for Thursday to reassess where I stand and what I need to do. So make that day 3 at the gym. I am even toying with the idea of running a marathon. But I may not be ready to do that.
I woke up this AM very well rested (because I finally got the temperature to a tolerable level). I dressed for work and began the commute to work. 2 minutes later I was there! I am now one of 3 tellers at this branch. I work drive thru. After noon I got a full hour for lunch, came home, ate chilli and did some laundry. Then went back to work. Got home at 6:30ish changed clothes and headed to the gym. (Yay for me 2 days in a ROW!) Did 2.3 miles on the elliptical. Could go longer with music, but they took out the radio. :-( (Guess Who Needs A Ipod?!. Swung by subway... they were out of my bread and spinach. Grr. Get home and chicken is cold, pitch it after eating half, bust out a Pepsi and a 100 cal Chips a Hoy, and get ready to fold laundry. The End.
I am making a list of things to do this week.
-clean kitchen
-finish office
-put away ALL laundry
-vaccum
-mop bathroom
-swiffer living area
Ok, Grant has been gone almost 3 days now. Normally this would mean that I was in some weird funk and in hiding, eating only comfort food. The dish pile would grow until I ran out of forks (I have 17 forks, this would take some time). The laundry would slowly take over the house and the garbage would be left un touched, for about a week. This is partially true, but I prefer to think it is the weather. I so far have all the dishes done, the laundry is in the works I am in the process of purging things we do not need, I cooked.... from scratch with no recipe. I took the ex-lax chilli we had frozen since we could not think of a way to make it edible and attempted to turn it into food. Since I had never made chilli I was flying blind. But it came out DAMN GOOD if I do say so myself, and since it is snowing this makes a PERFECT time for homemade Frito Chilli Pie! And lastly I hit the gym today! GO ME! I got in 2 miles on the elliptical in 30 minutes, not great but I will take it... it is somewhere to start. The entire time I could hear Tonya in the back of my head every time I wanted to give up. Her voice was saying "hey it is only 10 more minutes, anyone can do anything for 10 minutes come on its no big deal." Afterward I was sorely tempted to grab a snickers or a slim jim, but I behaved myself I got a 100 cal. fruit snack pack! GO ME!!!!
10. Grant and I laid in bed an extra hour participating in the cuddle Olympics. We had to enjoy that last time for a while.
11. I made Chili! Go me!
It is weird, for some reason today I just feel empty. Not happy, lonely, or sad. Just blank, cold, vacant, and void. I really do hate February. As a child it was due to the fact that it fell the month before my birthday and seemed to drag on. As an adult it is thanks to a annual month of let downs. This year is no exception. Grant is gone again. He will be missing my birthday, again. And this year I made my resolution to find one good thing from each day. Thus far has been a struggle, but it hopefully will make each day more bearable.
Oh how I HATE the Olympics. They so screw up my routine... Shows canceled, shuffled around, and otherwise. I know some of my friends are Olympic fans. I do not join the ranks. In the past 12 years I have successfully avoided every single event, I hope this year will be the same.
Religous Tracts.
Have been the bane of my existence since I was 8. When I was 8 I was trick-or-treating with my cousins and a house gave us this. A bit much for a kid if you ask me. Later my best friend was (and is) a catholic. I was given this. And it only made me mad. As a waitress I was given this in leiu of a tip. Appearance all waitresses have abortions and have no need of money. And this week I was given this thru the drive thru at work. Apparently since I work at a bank my life is in turmoil... what a load of crap.
Feb 7. Grant and Arron played Lido, The crowd was good, all had a good time, and Tony bought us drinks!
Feb 8. Aaron turned 20, Grant came home and we crashed we had a long day but at least we were safe.
Feb 9. Tax return came in. As previously stated not much to crow about, but it did provide for dinner at PF Chang and drinks at Red Star.
