Can someone just shoot me now?

Can someone just shoot me now?

I am still at work - this fucking late - because I'm trying to make enough money to cover my mortgage.  I haven't even bought Shadow or Shaun a single present for the holiday.  I don't even know if I can.  I never go all out, but I usually at least buy them one thing I know they want.  We might have to celebrate Valetine's Day, y'all.  🙁

Shaun just called to let me know that Arby's had my car towed today.  It's gonna be $150 to get it out.  Which is wonderful news because if I had money it would be fixed and running properly and not left there to begin with.

Kick a bitch while she's down, why don't you?  There was no warning, nothing posted, and I really thought I'd have at least 3 days to get it.  I was planning to go over there tonight.

I don't think I can do anything but cry right now.  It's either cry or explode, so I guess I'll just let the pressure off through my eyes.  Fuck.

Guess what, Internet.

Guess what, Internet.

You'll never guess.

Go ahead, just try.

Give up?  Ok...

My car won't start again.

Did any of you see THAT coming?  LOL

Pardon my nubs...

Pardon my nubs... it was time to shorten them. I broke a few and was like "Screw this." LOL

So... ugly Christmas sweater? Wrapping paper? What do you think?

Woke up with a bad headache.

Woke up with a bad headache.  I hope I am not getting sick again.  🙁

Tonight is Shadow's choir concert... and I still need to get him a red shirt with a collar and some buttons.  Not all the way button down, though.  The paper says "golf style" - whatever that means.  Where the hell do you find that?  They did not have one at Wal-Mart last night.

No, really - tell me - because I need to pick one up on my lunch break.

You can tell I'm not into shopping.  LOL

So... Shadow's in the talent show! 😃

So... Shadow's in the talent show! 😃

(He is beatboxing - but I am not supposed to know that. He won't tell me - he's being all shy. If one of the judges hadn't bumped into me when I was out and about and told me that he'd wowed all of the judges at the tryouts I wouldn't even know. So keep it on the downlow! 😉)

Oh, the random shit you think of when you are falling asleep at 3 a.m...

Oh, the random shit you think of when you are falling asleep at 3 a.m.

Someone remind me later this morning that my earring is in the refrigerator. I am warm and cozy and I'm not getting up to get it right now.

[Y'all - there is ACTUALLY a logical explanation for that. At least, according to my brain it is logical. 😛

So, I found out that I lost one of my earrings the other day and I figured I should replace it. Well, we had to drive a few places to find one that was similar, but we finally did, and yay. I tried to put it in my ear, but it wasn't working out (I use a nose screw in my cartilage because I don't like sleeping on earring backs), so it's not exactly easy to get it put in. So I was like, "Meh, I'll do this when I get home."

Since we were out and about in Oxford and were getting hungry we decided to go eat before we went home. Since the earring was so tiny and I didn't want to lose it I sat it on the dash of the car while we were eating. Well after we ate when we were on the way home, I thought "I'm gonna stab this into my take-out box so I don't drop it." Seemed like a safe place. And then I put it in my fridge because I totally forgot about it. But, it's still there - so technically my plan worked. Go me! 😃]

Roach Pics!

Some roachy love! ❤

See that thing sticking out of her back end? That is her ootheca, or egg sac. She's pregnant! It pokes out sometimes. I don't know the whole process, but they actually have live young.

See the pretty light-colored guy? He molted recently, and his shell hasn't hardened back up. When he's brown, he'll be all crunchy again.

I have honestly NO CLUE how many roaches I have... but I had probably 15 of these egg crates stacked together, and every time I pulled one away from the bundle, there were about that many roaches in between. So, I guess a million or so. 😛

If anyone needs roaches for your lizards, let me know. I think I can sustain my girls plus some off of my colony now. 🙂
