30 on 30- what a lucky birthday!
Part 1 of the celebration was this past weekend and a good time was had by all- thanks again for making the trip, The Mexican, Legend 33, and Blood/Allergy Girl/Massive Headbump Girl (you need to pick a name).
(the trip was so good for our guests that they were home and in bed by around 11pm Saturday night- I guess a day at the Winery, Rita's, Joe's, The Fishbowl, and The Crescent will do that to ya....)
Dear Billy,
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Cos I'mma tell you like you told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin' dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
Singin' dollar dollar bill yall(dollar, dollar bill yall)
If you ain't got no money take your broke ass home
You say: If you ain't got no money take your broke ass home
G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, yeah G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like an angel, heavens not the thing for you,
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
I just need a little of your time
A little of your time
To say the words I never said
What if God shuffled by?
One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason
But rushing around seems
What's wrong with the world
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
They'll only be there 'til you're dead
Dream
A bottle of reds, a bottle of whites
Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight
I'll meet you anytime you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
Happy Birthday to my favorite boy!!!
"Djew hear that?"
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Finger pump finger pump finger pump
"Are you sleeping?" poke poke

PIB going for the summer....
get away...winter was a bummer....
Leaving after work.
Have not done one thing at work yet- 9:44am.
Hungry.
Celebrating Bill's birthday this weekend, so friends from Cleveland are coming to the bay with us.
Hungry.
Wearing flip-flops to work today (and a tank top and shorts- what?)
Waiting to hear that my sister and her hubbie are back from Costa Rica.
Basically just waiting for it to be 4:30pm.
Help a girl out, email me or something....

I decided I would let Bill handle the write-up of the trip- his was too hilarious to compete with:
and I would just show some pictures.
To protect the "innocent" I am not including pics of people, just the boat and scenery...
Parking lot of Liquor Barn- they had no idea what was in store for them
Bill and I got what we "needed"
and packed it in the car...
We loaded our stuff into just a couple of wheelbarrows...
and went to get our boat:
different rooms in our boat and views of the other boat we got...
Well that is the other boat we got- I have more pictures of the inside of the boat, but posting pictures is proving to be too difficult for my brain-dead self....

Headed to C*nt-tucky
I will be absent from work Friday and Monday because we are headed down south to Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.
UNQUESTIONABLY THE HOUSEBOAT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, located in southern Kentucky and the largest lake by volume in the USA east of the Mississippi River, Lake Cumberland's three state parks, national forest, national river & recreation area, national recreation trail, major Civil War battleground and national historic site with one of the nation's first national cemeteries, the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River (except for Niagara) with its world famous moonbow, extensive cave systems and high rocky cliffs, dozens of natural arches, national fish hatchery, record fishing, wildlife that includes bald eagles, bear & elk, 1,200 miles of shoreline, countless waterfalls and innumerable coves see more visitors each year than Yellowstone National Park. It is truly one of America's premier recreational regions.
Going with a big group, most have been going for about 3 years, they say it's the best time ever, so I'm getting really excited.
I'll be living on this:
(couldn't upload a picture for some reason).
Notice the amenities!...
Anyhow the trip emails are abundant which is good bc it's making the time go by faster.
I know it's only Wednesday, hopefully I'll have something somewhat interesting to blog about before we leave.
1.5 hours till lunch....

They're baaaack!!!
Every year at PIB, these guys make an appearance.
They are everywhere.
Screens, doors, cars, the grass, walls, lights...
They are pretty peaceful and they don't bite- but I am GROSSED OUT by them.
Yes, I touch them, when I am pulling them off my clothes- but I usually throw up in my mouth a little at the same time.
They are called "Mayflies" and the arrive in June, stupid little f-ers can't even get here on time.

On another note, I went to the doctor this morning and I am officially 5'8!!!
This is exciting for me bc I always respond when asked how tall I am, with "I don't know, around 5'7-ish"
NOPE!
5'8 baby!
Then I got felt up by my new doctor. And " checked" out in other various places.
Yep.
BUT I AM STILL 5'8.
P.S.
Bill won his softball game last night.
Bill passed his final.
I skipped the gym this morning.

How do you know you need it to be the weekend?
When you use a calculator to subtract $100 from $1,000.

My uncle, UK (god), a true Hero
Recently my uncle went to visit my mom in South Florida.
As I mentioned in a previous post
http://jarthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/05/flo-rida.html
iguanas like to roam around the condo pool at my mom's building.
Apparently one felt a little warm that day and decided to go for a dip in the pool.
Like most of us, he wanted to explore the deep end, only to discover that he could not get out of the pool.
He (somehow to me, all iguanas are male) started to struggle and the battle began.
While my mom (CONDO BOARD VP) was probably thinking about what condo rules the iguana broke by not being an official guest at the pool- my uncle took matters into his own hands.
After he realized the iguana was drowning (hmmm iguana sinking to the bottom of the pool, problem?!)- he jumped in to rescue him.
He pulled him to the surface and began CPR! (no no, don't worry, no mouth-to-mouth was used)
Moments later, the iguana was scampering back into the wild.
Thank god that "god" was around.
Personally I think the Condo Board should memorialize my uncle as a hero by placing a bronze plaque poolside.
Mom- get on that.

More insight on JAR
So there are some words that make me cringe when I hear them let alone if I ever have to actually say them:
(in no particular order)
1. Moist: the phonetic sound of this word is what gets to me. The "moi" sound. I don't have a lot to say on this one other than I don't like it.
2. Panties: I call them "underwear"- whatever kind they are, granny, thongs, bikini..."Panties" makes me think of something pink and lacey and old. And dirty. I don't know why.
3. Lover: this might be my #1 most hated word. I don't like saying it- I don't like any references to it. For example there is a Rod Stewart song I like, goes like:
"You're in my heart, you're in my soul. You'll be my breath should I grow old. You are my LOVER (VOMIT), you're my best friend. You're in my heart...."
There is however a really funny (old) SNL skit with Will Ferrell and the ugly rat girl where they are a couple and constantly call each other "Lover"- that one makes me laugh.
Also somewhat related to this, I HATE seeing people kiss on tv. I am shy and usually hide behind a pillow asking Bill to tell me when they are done. It makes me uncomfortable and I don't like the suction noises that sometimes accompany these kisses.
One scene that stands out in my head is in the movie "Top Gun" when Tom Cruise and the woman are leaning against a wall (and then also when they are in bed) and you can see his tongue go in and out of her mouth. GAG ME! GROSS!!!
4. Titties: ugh- this one makes me think of old National Geographic magazines of tribes in Africa. You know, the ones where the woman run around topless and their "titties" hang down to their knees. Gross
Runner-up:
*"duty"- This one has nothing to do with the meaning. More of how it sounds when you say it.
I was teaching 4th grade one year, and this was one of our spelling words. Come Friday, when it was spelling test time, I stayed away from saying this one out loud for the kids to write down. Instead I wrote it on the board and had them use it in a sentence.
p.s. Vanna- you are a lucky bitch and if you don't get on IM everyday to talk to me, I will be mad. Come on, we can do more online shopping together!!!
She's a teacher.
It's summer.
Figure out why I might be jealous of her....

Hot
This weekend went by too fast.
Now I am back at work, already counting down till next weekend.
Friday night we stayed in so Bill could study for the FINAL he has tonight.
I can't wait until it is over- this class has really been a bitch for him.
Saturday we went over to Capt. D's house for some outdoor hanging out time.
(but first Bill had some business to take care of:
The usual suspects were there so it was bound to be a great time.
The only drawback, it was f-ing hot outside.
We tried to make the best of it by drinking to lessen the heat but as soon as my legs started sweating (as well as my boobs and butt)- I knew we had to be more proactive.
I rounded up Mrs. Capt D. and M and we headed off to Walgreens.
Two kiddie pools, two fan/misters, one weird snake-like hose thing, and one can of "chew" later we were back on the road.
INSTANT SUCCESS!
We filled up both pools and set all of our chairs around it and while the boys played games, the ladies drank while our feet went numb from the cold pool water (the numbness was a GOOD thing- it was really hot out).
Fast forward a couple of hours, a "couple" of drinks, one disappointing horse race, and some flip cup action later and it was dark out.
Somehow (I didn't see it actually happen) Mrs. Capt D. (MCD) slipped and fell in one of the kiddie pools. (contrary to us all thinking that Bill Teets would be the first "man down")
and oh yeah, Eddie Murphy's in-famous song was in the background during all of this (my girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiiiime).
So while MCD went in to change, I convinced Bill that it would be a good idea if he also "fell" into the pool so that MCD wouldn't feel that bad.
It wasn't hard to get him in.
He stripped down to his boxers and the hilarity ensued.
He splashed.
He frolicked.
He danced.
He cannon-balled.
He submerged himself, over and over and over.
Everything around the pool was soaked.
As were the people watching him.
At one point, he got out and decided he needed to dry off so he rolled around on the neighbors driveway....and then got up and "fell" right back into the pool.
Great times!!
Cumbo only 2 weeks away!!!
Sunday we woke up and drove to the Island for the big Opening Day softball game.
There really is nothing like it. Everyone comes out to watch.
After a couple of hours playing around the Island in our golf cart we headed over to the field, the brand-spanking new field.
Bill got warmed up and I socialized with Angry Johnny's parents (ask his dad to try on his new BlueBlocker sunglasses- awesome!) and Capt. D's grandparents.
There was some opening-day "hoopla" and then the game got started...along with a thunderstorm.
At first the wind picked up and we watched the storm creep over the whole Island.
It was actually really neat to watch.
They tried to hold off the game as long as they could (while Dudethatsrad and I sat in the golfcart) but finally it was called and everyone headed out- which sucked because the Boardwalk (Bill's team) had a COMMANDING lead against Mr. Ed's (it was a suckfest just like last year's Championship game).
So Bill and I (and 2 soaking wet doggies) headed off to the ferry to go back home.
Oh yeah, it was SUNNY by that time.
Monday, 8:48am...how many hours left until Friday?!!!
:(

On the DL
so somehow I "pulled a hammie" this weekend.
Well actually I know how, the dumb gym- but the weird thing is, it was a delayed pulled hamstring.
Who knows, but it hurt like a beyotch.
I had a great nurse- Bill T.!
He iced it, massaged it, went out and got me cream to put on it and did all of the dog walking and cooking.
I rewarded him by taking him to see "Sex and the City"!
lol
Don't worry, I paid for everything- tickets, popcorn and dinner.
The movie? No spoilers here but it was good overall- I left happy.
Dinner is another story.
The movie lasted a lot longer than I expected- 2 hours or something- so by the time we got out, I made the decision we should go home to take care of the dogs rather than stay out to eat.
I thought that I would just make us something at home.
When we got home, it turned out that I didn't feel like cooking so we decided to order dinner.
The first place we thought of, naturally was the place downstairs.
Big surprise- although open, they did not answer the phone.
WTF is wrong with those people? I wish I could have a sit-down with the owner and just list all the f-ed up things that are wrong with her restaurant/bar/coffee shop/lounge L-E-A-K hangout.
So we tried something new and ordered take-out from RockBottom Brewery, right across the street from us.
DELICIOUS AND FAST!!!
Isn't it somewhat pathetic that we are now going to start ordering dinner from a place across the street from us vs. the place that is IN OUR BUILDING??!!!
I still want to figure out a way to communicate to the inept owner downstairs that her place sucks in terms of all they built it up to be when they used it as a selling point to buy the condo.
Screw the restaurant though- the real selling point of our condo is our balcony on a weekend night.
I think that Bill is going to write about that so I'll let him tell all on that one.
Highlights:
-people lasering pointing drunk people
-a gazillion cops
- the one-way/wrong way street
-Gyros
Happy Monday- yeah right- f Mondays.
