My nails are so bright, they gotta wear shades!

Yeah, I might have problem. LOL Three different paint jobs in 3 days. Oh well. I'm on vacation, and this is FUN. FOR. ME. 😛

Nails for my trip to Lake Hypatia yesterday.

Nails for my trip to Lake Hypatia yesterday. I changed from the Invisible Pink Unicorn to the Atheist Atom. 🙂

Stopped by the lovely Lake Hypatia today.

Stopped by the lovely Lake Hypatia today.  If you are missing this event, you are missing out.  🙂  Caught a great talk on Secular Parenting (which has spawned a group; you can message me if you're actually interested in joining).  So far, my biggest mistake was not dismissing "hell" before Shadow's friends condemned him to it for not believing.  That came up years ago, but I think I handled it pretty well - seeing as how he doesn't fear it now.  😉

I missed a talk on Sexy Evolution that I really wanted to see.  🙁  BUT, I did get a copy of the book Sex & God by Darrel Ray, part of which this talk was based on - and he signed it for me.  😃  I'm super-stoked about starting to read it.  The only downside there is that I missed all of the animal penis slides, and the book doesn't have photos, so I guess I'll rely on Google to fill me in on what I'm missing.  Interesting stuff.  🙂

So, those are the highlights of my otherwise terribly shitty weekend.  I'm trying to focus on the positive of today, so I'm not even going into the crap that brought me down.  I have the best guy ever - y'all don't even know how hard he tries to pick me up when I am down.  He made me a card, stashed some bakery red velvet cupcakes for me (MY FAVORITE!), and bought me an animal penis book.  I'm a lucky girl.  🙂  And dude, I can't wait to have him back home.  Home for him is his house down the street - but I've discovered that my house doesn't feel like home without him in his, as bizarre as that may sound.  

Anyway... guess I'm gonna settle in with my new book and cupcakes.  ❤

UGH. What a day.

UGH.  What a day.  Went to work to ship a catalog order (which means lots of fun rules and extra things for me to do, otherwise, we get chargebacks)... well, they updated their shipping instructions so that they made PRECISELY NO SENSE AT ALL.  I had fun with that.  I had to call and email the company, which they ignored, until they emailed all like, "Hey, when are you shipping this order?"  To which I replied, please check your email and voicemail.  I need help."  So, I finally got that all worked out.

THEN, since they now want to be shipped by FedEx instead of UPS I had to find a drop-off location for FedEx.  FedEx will not pick up the same day unless you ship Express, and this company wants to be shipped Ground.  ANYWAY, there was supposed to be a place right in Oxford.  Please note:  SUPPOSED TO BE.  I drove around for an hour in this damn heat with no a/c until I found where this business USED TO BE.  It is now closed down.  So then I had to go to another FedEx place, which was a little farther out, but at least I know where it is.  Then, on to UPS to drop off a smaller box.  So I get there, drop the box off, get back in my car, and it promptly just turns the fuck off and won't start again.  🙁

Mom to the rescue again.  I call her phone, crying, because I'm so hot and so frustrated and so headache-y and so stressed over this stupid car, and all the stupid hoops I've had to jump through today.  I don't do well in the sun; it makes me horribly sick.  Itchy, and migraine-y, and nauseated.  Well, my hands are sunburned, and I feel like shit, and Shaun is camping so I miss his face like WHOA.  I'm about to shower and probably call it a night.  I am so done with today.  Damn.

Thanks to my mom for leaving Munford to come and get me, driving me from Oxford to Talladega and then finally, back to Saks.  That is a lot of driving in this damn heat.  I'm just glad to be home.  In the air conditioning with my dogs.

I just needed to vent.  Thanks for listening.

These are the nails I decided to go with...

These are the nails I decided to go with, since tomorrow I'm going to stop in at the goings-on at Lake Hypatia (Alabama Freethought Association).  I figured that everyone there would "get it."  LOL

I think they are cute, though pink isn't a color I tend to use a lot.  What better occasion, though, right?  🙂

Today, I miss having girlfriends...

Today, I miss having girlfriends that live close enough to come and hang out on a whim.  😐  But, I am thankful to have a (sexy and awesome) man in my life that isn't opposed to hanging out with my kid, doing "guy" things and teaching him stuff.  ❤  So, I have no major complaints.  🙂  Guess I'm going to go and do my nails, and maybe do some cleaning up in this house after that.  Sounds like a good plan.
