Tickled Pink

I'm extra special moody today. no, it's not that time of the month. I just haven't gotten any sleep in, oh, SEVEN MONTHS. So you'll have to forgive my little rant. or not. whatever. I don't give a shit.

So, you may or may not know that I work for my parents. It's fun. I don't recommend trying it. EVER. Well, maybe if you like constantly wanting to beat the crap out of certain male relatives, but it's generally considered not to be a good idea. I digress. My point here is to complain about a specific incidence of workplace annoyance.

So... every workplace has that place, you know... that place, where community food goes, like brownies that people have brought in from home to share. anything in that place is fair game and for eating by everyone. But food in someone's drawer, ESPECIALLY the receptionist's drawer, is not for you to help yourself to unless you ARE THE RECEPTIONIST! And to all you people who would steal the receptionist's candy, I WILL SMACK YOUR HAND AWAY FROM THE CANDY LIKE THE NAUGHTY LITTLE CANDY-STEALER YOU ARE!!!!

Plus, I gain some sick joy from smacking the man who told me what to do when i was a child. Is that so wrong?

uggh. so i'm looking for a job now, so hubby can be a stay at home dad and pursue photography full time. Which will be nice. Really, i'm actually looking forward to going back to work. well, really i'm just looking forward to NEVER having to write another FUCKING COVER LETTER. well, at least until i'm on the job market again, which hopefully won't be for a REALLY long time. My favorite is that i'm trying to get a job in marketing, and it's SO fun trying to BS my random experience into being 2-5 years of direct marketing experience. seems no one wants to hire me when i just say "can't you just take my word for it that i'd be really good at it? I mean, i know i don't have any experience and all, but i'm HOT, and shouldn't that count for something?"

In a perfect world, that would work, and i would have a really good paying job by now.

Being a new blog and all, I haven't really taken the time to do anything interesting here yet, design-wise. So it's awesome that my design guru is going to redesign my blog for me. Don't worry, it'll still be pink. However, it will soon feature awesome graphics the likes of which have not been seen since... well, her own blog.

Betcha can't wait!

The baby wakes up crying

Husband: It's your turn to go check on him.
Wife: Ok, fine, but can you uncuff me first?

Definitely NOT something that has ever happened at our house. Ever.

aahhh. what a lovely relaxing sunday in a three day holdiay weekend. What did you do to relax? me... I took a bath. It was quite nice. We have this new rainfall showerhead, and it's so relaxing, i had the tropical rain falling on me while i was in a nice warm bath. then, with my glasses off, i saw a little piece of what i thought was hair float by. but, on closer inpection, it proved to be a Giant, NASTY spider. In the bath. with me. swimming around. la-de-da. like it wasn't the grossest thing in the world that he was sharing my bath! all i can say is eeeeeeewwwww. I guess that's what you get for living in the woods. Whatever. I miss the city.

Speaking of porn...what? oh, we weren't talking about porn? well, we are now. Anyway, just thought you should all know that it's not my fault I'm weird, it's my family's fault. I have many examples, but in the interest of time, and the looming bedtime of my son, i'll only share a few.
1) my lovely, teddy bear-loving, crafty-as-hell aunt attends what she calls 'marital aid parties'. and has pictures from said parties in her family photo albums for all to see. Picture christmas dinner, a cousin showing his new girlfriend family photos, till he comes to a dead halt and others in the room hear the words: "double-ended!" and "oh my god, is that aunt ____?!?!" Said aunt replied for all to hear, "this may suprise you, but your aunt is a sexual being." You go, girl!
2) a certain other family member, who will remain unnamed, and no longer lives with his parents, recently got busted for downloading porn to his mom's computer. He claims that sometimes, 'you just don't know that that's what you're downloading.' which, i guess could be true, but i'm inclined to think this might not have been the case. whatever. let's just say that it might not be a great idea to dowload porn onto your mom's computer. let's just hope there weren't any home movies in there.
anyway, i figure by sharing these two stories, whatever crazy shit i do will at least be put into the perspective of where i came from.

it is SOOOOO not my fault.
