So, today is the only day I have off for the next 9 days and, of course, my period starts today and I woke up with a giant headache. My house looks like a frigging frat party was held here last night, one of my dogs has fleas and an ear infection. I was planning on painting my kitchen today, but QS made a vet appointment for the dog without consulting me, so I guess that idea is tabled for the day. My sister keeps calling me with "ideas" for Christmas gifts for her kids...because, you know, she can't afford to get them nice stuff, so I should. My father-in-law is in the hosptial and things aren't looking too good there. It is raining and cold here, I am on a friggin' diet and really want some cake. I have a suicidal employee at work, I have a runny nose and my boob itches from the surgery incision. I think I need a nap.

Doesn't Weight Watchers make candy bars? And then there's light beer.... Seriously, I'm sorry you're having a crappy day. I am too... (mind if I rant?) had to call off of work yesterday to go to our 3rd funeral in 3 weeks (3 local firefighters- all separate incidents), but got stuck in traffic because of a semi loaded with pallets catching on fire and closing down the freeway for hours... missed the funeral. Then got up early to go work a shift today, walked downstairs and found 3 inches of standing water covering the ground floor. Turns out a huge leak must have sprung just after we went to bed and ran all night. We just finished vacuuming up as much as we can, and now we're sitting tight for the claims adjuster to get back to us. There must be something crappy in the air.

Ladies, By all means: rant with me! Misery loves company. Oh, and I would draw down only I have no guns of my own right now because I had to sell them when the other dog needed surgery. I could throw a Spyderco at them, though.  ETA: B_H, sorry about the funeral and flood. I'll eat a diet candy bar in your honor. |

Ouch on your day. It sounds like you need a day off - and by that I mean just take the phone off the hook and don't answer the door. Oh, and eat a candy bar, sometimes chocolate is the ONLY answer (or vodka). (((HUGS))) Ladies... I don't have any rants today, but can feel your pain. 
|
Thank you. I remember you posting about your guns and your dog... is he better? And PLEEEASE enjoy that candy bar. I've gained about 5 pounds in the last couple months so I'm easing back on the junk again... <<<sigh>>> I firmly believe that one of the the secrets to happiness is chocolate.... Ginger: (((((((hugs)))))))) it's a GOOOOOD thing when you don't have any rants.  How are you feeling?

Hmm..not too much to rant about. Except the boyfriend is unemployed, and that's creating stress. But, this too shall pass, right? I really want to lose about 20 pounds but just can't get my ass into dieting right now. My hormones are in high gear because I'm switching methods of BC and it's doing a number on me. Probably not a good time to diet anyway. I should get my butt in the gym, though, but again, the hormones are making me tired. sigh. OK, I had a bit to rant about. I just need to shoot something this weekend. Maybe GPK and I will hit the sportsmen club this weekend and I can kill the crap out of those clay pigeons. Make Mincemeat out of 'em! <wringing hands..yessss....kill the little clay birdies....yessss...> |

Thanks for hangin' with me ladies...I know that things really aren't that bad, I just needed some whine with my lunch apparently! Ginger, vodka and chocolate are just the answer! B-H, the dog, Cooper, is doing wonderfully! He had two ruptured discs in his neck and his surgery went perfectly. It was worth every penny I had in those two lovely, beautiful, wonderful, unique, dazzling pink guns to see him be healthy again. (Gawd, I miss those guns! )ETA: Daisy, I just changed my BC and I think we're in the same boat. This whole "being a girl" thing is not fun sometimes. I'll eat some chocolate for you, too!

{{{hugs}}} to Marian. Yes, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong here at my office. None of it directly under my purview, but fertilizer runs laterally and uphill as well as it does down.  The lovely week came to a head first thing this morning when the big BIG corporate boss came in the door, couldn't find something in his pocket and threw all of his loose change all over the entry lobby  |
What?!?! Didn't anyone tell him that only women are allowed to throw tantrums in the workplace???

i dont have much to rant about--hubby and i both have kind of an ADD thing going on so making plans and remembering them is kind of a challenge im still at work, but i dont know why because im getting nothing done and im totally unmotivated today my right shoulder is killing me--i think ive pinched a nerve or something--ibuprofen and tylenol dont touch it love to all y'all wimminz--ML, we need to get together and do this venting thing in person  |
Maybe I can get to Ohio in October to vent in person.

Yes we need some more "wildlife" in our beach paradise

 Man...I like you! I always tell my friends I want a cabana boy. One who looks like Adrian Paul, does not speak, makes a mean appletini and massages all the aches and pains away. Hope it gets better, hun. If not, try my cure-all <looks at the other ladies> All together now................. VODKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 "Oh, Cabana boy...." |
|
My cabana boy has less facial hair and more chest hair.  Oh, and Seff: Right back at ya!
|
Feeling good! Tired, but happy. (and I am soooooo good at ranting too  )I want a cabana boy... And vodka... And chocolate. And a new firearm. Not necessarily in that order.
