Happy Vibes!!!

Ahhh, what a day. It's b-e-a-u-tiful outside. You can tell that the fall is coming. It's been a good day although nothing extraordinary has happened. It's just one of those days that I happen to be in an awesome mood (not too infrequent, I think) and the weather only encourages me. Also, I feel pretty happy with the relationships in my life right now. I don't think I'm on bad terms with anyone; at least - I don't know about it if I am.

Work is good - I think my boss was impressed with me last week when the other worker in the office was absent all week and I picked up all of her slack; my parents seem happy with me - I haven't done anything stupid in a while; I'm going out a bit lately and just relaxing - meeting people and making friends; and me and my best friend have been getting along exceptionally well for quite some time. I think that's one of the bigger things that has my spirits high now.

Here in a few more days it will be four years that I've known him. In a way it doesn't seem like it's been that long, but on the other hand I don't think I could imagine my life without him. We've been through a lot. Most people - they don't know about us. They think they do, but they don't. And I think I rather like it that way. 😉

Anyway, I just felt like posting... I don't do it often anymore. But I feel good and wanted to spread my happy vibes all around. Hope you day is awesome, as well!!!

OhSoClose

Well, I missed my chance. 😐 It sucks. Me and The Nick went to Gadsden just for the hell of it, I guess. As we were meandering about we went into the mall and into Spencer's. I found a hat I wanted, but I'm broke. I actually think The Nick might have bought it for me, but that's not really what my story's about.

Back on track:  I don't really wear hats much, but I tried it on, thought it was cute, and then took it off. The man working in there told me to put it back on and I asked "Why?" and he said "So you can wear it out of here." I told him I couldn't because I was broke and because I don't really wear hats much anyway. I told him the only way I would get it is if my head were shaved and I needed something to keep it warm. So he replied, "Then lets shave your head. Do it here in the store and I'll give you the hat for free."

We haggled about it and then he actually started to put some money on it as well. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal since I've wanted to shave my head for years now. But I told him we were going to go eat lunch and that would give me time to really ponder this and we would come back and talk more about it. So we did and I'm pretty sure I was gonna do it; I was all excited and stuff, but he was gone.

Apparently he had convinced someone else who had come in to dress up in a costume and for that he took them to Ruby Tuesday's (the catch being they had to wear the costume in the restaurant). I was tired and it was getting late and I didn't want to wait an hour for him to come back so we just left. The moment was gone. And that sucks.

On the bright side when we came back the second time (after lunch), the employees were asking women to shave their heads for a free costume. There were no takers as of yesterday evening. So anyway, I think I started something. And that, my friends, is pretty cool. 😁

I made it. *sigh of relief*

Yay - we survived my Shadow's first day of school!!! 😁 I feel so relieved; today went over pretty smoothly. I was pleasantly surprised, although it was bittersweet. We (me, Shadow, and The Nick) were all excited, but I think I was the only one who was a little sad about it. I guess that's the mom in me. We never want our babies to grow up. That's a really hard thing to deal with sometimes because you know you have to let them go no matter how hard it is to do so. But I'm really proud of myself - I didn't even cry. OK... well, I did a little on the way to work, but I contained myself better than I thought I would. I think that was mostly because of Shadow - he was all smiling and happy so I knew he'd be fine. 😊

Now to brag a little:  I got a call from his teacher a few hours after I got home and she said he was the best student in the class. She was telling me that he used good manners and did what he was supposed to do without being told more than once. And she said she looked forward to having him in her class the rest of the year. That freakin' made my day. 😁😁😁 My kiddo ROCKS!!! 😁😁😁

Allergic reaction, perhaps??

Well, I've had a pretty rough week. I've been all stressed out over my kiddo starting school (tomorrow's the big day) and so I haven't been sleeping much... it sucks and it helps nothing. I've been broke for two weeks and that's never good. This morning I discovered that I had no more toilet paper. And on top of all that I found out my rent was increasing - which made me believe that my head was just going to explode right on the spot.

As if all of that is not enough I turned into a giant freak in front of Nick and one of his friends. She just walked up to us in the mall - didn't say or do anything out of the way - and I proceeded to have a panic attack or something... I don't know what the hell it was or what it was about. But I didn't like it. All I know is that I couldn't breathe well, my heart was pounding, I felt very hot and started pouring sweat, and my whole body felt tense. It baffles me. I don't have any negative feelings towards this person - she seems really sweet... maybe I'm just allergic to her. I know - that was a dumb thing to say, but it beats the alternative of thinking that I'm so stressed that it takes absolutely nothing to put me over the edge. (That was me trying to remain optimistic).

On the bright side one of my good friends took my son to Fuji last night and had some pretty funny stuff to report back. We learned that my Shadow is afraid of fire; I was told he spent most of the evening hiding in my friend's armpit. He also doesn't like sushi. Probably the funniest part was when Shadow told me he didn't want to go back there because they threw food at his head. 😂 My friend told me that they tried to ring his mouth about six times, but kept hitting him in the head and once in the eye. I can barely type this I'm laughing so hard. Now I feel a little better. 😊

THE END

"... so I vacuumed his head."

Today when I picked up my kiddo from daycare some stupid kid had thrown sand all in his hair...if you've ever seen my kid you would know how much that sucks. His hair is pretty long. It was too early in the afternoon to give him a bath and wash his hair and put it back up and we had something to do so I opted to vacuum his head instead. Before you start thinking "child abuse" know that I used an attachment; I didn't actually run his head over with the vacuum cleaner. 😝

Speaking of my kid - he starts school next Thursday. Orientation was last night and I cried. Three or four times. I'm really excited, but at the same time it's like I'm losing my baby. And I feel overwhelmed at the thought of it all. It's going to be a big change for the both of us, but he's really excited too so I'm sure we'll survive. I just can't believe he's old enough to go. Damn. 😕

But on the bright side I have the lovely Nick backing me. He was at orientation with us and he seemed really happy / excited, as well. He always makes me feel better. I really appreciate all of the support he gives us - he's one of those friends who's there - and I don't know what I'd do without him. Hey, Nick, if you're reading this (which you had better be since it's your fault I'm here) I appreciate you and you were really super-sweet the day of orientation. That really meant a lot; thanks again. 😊

***** A word from the wise (and by wise - I mean me):   Most people don't hear that they are appreciated nearly enough. That's something you should make a point to tell the important people in your life once in a while. It makes a difference. I'm for real. And I'm done. Later, cupcake.

Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of my first accounting job out of college. Yay me. I've managed to keep my job for a year. That's a record for me, but I've only been a part of the working world for about four years - one of which I spent mostly in college. So anyway, I'm pretty happy about it. That's all.

Boxers or Briefs?? (You too, ladies.)

So how's about some answers to this all-important question? Boxers or briefs? Personally I find the hybrid - known as the boxer-brief - to be quite comfy. Did you know that they make those for the ladies now? Every girl should own a pair. They don't get in your ass the way panties tend to. And they don't bunch up under your clothes like regular boxers. And I love the fact that I don't feel like I'm scarring my kid for life when I walk around the house in them. I'm hooked. 😀

I know the thought of female boxer-briefs may sound really un-sexy at first, but I feel pretty attractive when I wear mine. They don't come down to your knees or anything. They're really short actually; they have just enough leg in them to keep 'em from crawling your ass or flashing body parts when you sit certain ways or bend over. Most definitely a worthy investment I would say. If you read this and decide to go look for some I have also seen them advertised as "boyleg panties" and "boyshorts" but they all have the same basic concept. Anyway, I just felt the need to share something relatively new and awesome with whoever reads my stuff and maybe even get an answer to the eternal question:  "Boxers or briefs?"

***** Ignoring the fact that you can now have the best of both worlds - my answer would be boxers. ***** Later! 😁
