Cranky Bobo

I hate it when I can’t sleep or when it’s a restless sleep or I sleep like the dead. Today I was so tired that I had a hard time calming my body down to rest. Finally I drifted off. But I woke four hours later hungry so I got up and fixed a PB&J sandwich, chips, and a drink. Ate the sandwich and watched the last of one of the Minor League movies with Scott Bakula. Back in bed within a half hour and I slept really well. Somewhere in all this I moved from deep sleep to a coma. I dreamed that I was trying to get something to eat and my family was being a pain in the ass and that I was very frustrated. This wasn’t a “I’m sorta in this dream” dream but it was real. Right down to workers eating fried onions right out of the containers that they served the guests. I woke at 930 tonight with several thoughts on my mind. Where’s Chris? Is he late for work? Am I late for work? Turns out it was only 930 pm and Chris was dressed and watching TV in the living room. Neither one of us was late.

However, I woke up very slowly like usual and felt like molasses had been poured through my veins. I also woke fairly agitated. My soul felt worked up and aggravated. I’m still in a cranky mood. Which means no one should, or would, be near me. I’m a bear. I’m passive-aggressive, cranky, foul-mouthed, upset, pissed off, and generally not someone you wish to talk to you. Chris, however, has to live with this mood. Please pray for him.

Hun, please forgive me while my body straightens up or down or sideways or whatever it needs to do. All I need is just a little patience…

Little bit of nuttin’

So someone at work (or possible a guest) upgraded our Internet thingy and now we have tabs. Tabs are awesome. I’m one of those people who has 3-10 open Internet windows at the bottom and with tabs they are at the top and very easy to access. Sweet.

Been fairly busy at work tonight what with the walk-ins and what not. I think this is the first precip free weekend expect. Well, never mind that I’ve heard we could get a quarter inch of slushy precip but I don’t think that will happen. May rain today but rain is all we’ll get.

Discovered a great way to stock the soda machine at work without killing my back. Got all 45 blogs looked at tonight. I’m playing babble. Life is so good.

My little brother had his birthday today and I think he’s either 14 or 15 today. Can’t keep track at all. My sister texted me that she had found her prom dress which is really good news. I would have loved to have bought her senior pics but I’m not sure what happened with that.

I don’t have much to share. I am trying a pink lemonade from Minute Maid as I type and I’m really not that fond of it. Maybe I’ll go get something else. Well, I’m going to go and goof. Have a great day!

PS-reading this I discover I sound like I’m a sugar rush. Sorry!

Updates

I’m horrible not posting for a while and I’ve actually had things to pass on. Important things like my Patriots are not going to the Super Bowl. So now I’m rooting for the Bears over the Colts. Or the fact that I had a great weekend. IMAX rocks and so does the movie Night at the Museum.

I think the honeymoon of sorts is over here at work. Like a marriage it takes communication and more communication. However, I still love where I work, the freedom they allow me in the evening, and I love my co-workers. Adjustments needed and some discussing needed but things will work out.

I have so much in my head but my brain is wrapped up in starting our wedding scrapbook. Without my mom as I hardly see her. And organizing and decorating our home. Thoughts are as a heavy as a February snowstorm and yet just as hard to nail down. Soon things will become clearer in my head. Off to do some work. Ciao!

Weather and Breakfast

So the great big storm turned out to be nothing at all. Some snow/rain/sleet that didn’t stick at all. However the snow all seemed to be heading through Kansas and Missouri. All least it wasn’t here. Maybe this weekend we can get out some without feeling wiped out when we get home. It takes work to concentrated on other drivers,the road, and staying upright on the ice.

Stopped at Wal-Mart on my way home and ran into my mother getting off. We ended up having breakfast together. First, I wonder why this Wal-Mart. I could have seen Chris, gone to one that’s maybe two miles from home, and then gone home. But I decided to go to this one. Breakfast wasn’t bad-good food, my chatter, and my mother reading the paper. Came home frustrated and upset. I was going to blog about what we discussed but have decided against it. For now, I think some distance is needed. Quit going to this Wal-Mart in the meantime, make trips to my moms urgent (got to go and make it quick), and basically let them contact me when they want. Doesn’t mean I have to answer the phone, though.

Didn’t get house picked up today. Going to try and get it done, at least some, and I need to get some chicken cooked before the head chicken gets home. Ha-ha. Well, I need to go get the audit started. I’ll talk to y’all later. Ciao!

Little of This n That

Well, here in Tulsa the skies haven’t fallen just yet. Although we are expected to get 2-4 inches of “slushy precipitation” in the words of one weatherman. I am going to get a few groceries after work and then go home and crash. After locking the back door and make the hubby walk around the house. Serves him right.

Been very distracted tonight. Haven’t even read my blogs I normally check in with every night. Felt like the first hour at work was spent going in circles. Now I’m just tired and sleepy. Hopefully the sandman will mosey on and leave me alone.

My apologies for a short post. Have a great day and don’t let the weather get y’all down. Ciao!

Books and Life

So I went to the library tonight. Or rather we attempted. Seems they closed at 500 or 600 and didn’t change their message. Driving 4 miles in slushy/icy mixture with Tulsa drivers on one of the busiest surfaces streets is not fun. Especially when your husband is driving.

Went to Barnes and Noble tonight and spent an hour browsing as I didn’t have a thing to read except what I’ve read a dozen times. It’s like a drunk without a drink or my hubby without ciggies. Being without a book isn’t acceptable. Found two books and a magazine that I thought looked promising. I have been sucked into a biography of Carolyn Keene who wrote the Nancy Drew mysteries. Interesting, fabulous, and absolutely amazing.

Yesterday was a frustrating day at work and I’ve done all I can too avoid a repeat of it. Gotten as much down early as possible. Still not sure how I’m going to run the papers but I’ll figure something out. Today I’ve got a chiro appointment and we’re going to get a few groceries. Chris needs to drop off his uniforms today which means he’ll have to get up early to get them. Not much going on in my world. How about your world?

Well, I’m going to run. Ciao!

Ice and ick

Been playing with the blog again. With all the ice on the ground and snow in the forecast for this weekend I thought the snowflakes was necessary. City snow crews haven’t been through my residential area to lay down a salt/sand mixture. It’s an ice rink out there. Even the Expressways are a mess. Now we are being told that we are going to get snow this Saturday. Yippee yeah!

So Chris and I stayed inside as much as possible. I made a ham/broccoli/potato and cheese soup on Monday and snuggled up watched lots of movie. Slap Shot with Paul Newman is a classic. It’s also very vulgar. Some nudity, lots of language, and very adult-orientated. There was some funny moments in it but I wouldn’t recommend it. We also saw Slap Shot 2. Not to offend the hubby but anything that looks like a sequel and has a Baldwin brother in should be avoided, in my experience. Slap Shot 2 has Stephen Baldwin and was as expected: a great movie to doze through. The Zodiac was about the Zodiac murders and starred Justin Chambers. It was very good but I wouldn’t watch it if you get jumpy watching America’s Most Wanted. Chris picked up a indie documentary called Who Killed the Electric Car. That was very good and interesting. Another Chris movie was Idiocracy and I wouldn’t go within two feet of this movie.Good Night and Good Luck was a George Clooney project and I thought it was very good. I liked the fact that it was shot in black and white so the actual footage of Senator McCarthy wasn’t jarring. We got another one I just can’t think of and then one we haven’t watched yet. World Trade Center was another hubby movie and it was decent.

Need to get a few groceries tomorrow (today) morning and take the hubby’s dry cleaning to the store. I’ve got to go fold some express check outs. Ciao!

Ice Storm

It’s sleeting here in Tulsa. Hubby had a hard time getting the car to defrost this evening so he could go to work. I simply rode the elevator down and clocked in. It’s nasty out there, folks.

Went to the chiro this morning and got yanked into place even more. Apparently my pelvis and my tailbone is out of whack, no wonder I’m hurting. After the chiro, and an uneventful elevator ride, we went to Wal-Mart to get a few things for the hotel stay. The essentials-subs, chips, soda, and chocolate. I guess lots of places here in T-Town ran out of bread and what not. Also hardware stores are getting hit hard for scrapers, ice melter, and the like. Here’s a great tip that I learned in the last ice storm: use warm, not hot, water and slowly pour over your car windows. Should take the top layers off. Also try using a bottle of rubbing alcohol. The ice on my car was thick tonight and as soon as it melted it refroze. So one of my co-workers helped us out by pouring alcohol on the windows and then taking an ice scraper and going at it. Came off fairly easily.

So the Secret Santa in Kansas City that passed out millions of dollars has passed away. I grew up with this story and it breaks my heart.

Not much else going on around here. Tulsa International has no flights going in or out tonight or tomorrow morning. Just military flights and small time pilots. Glad I’m not their passenger.

Well, I’ve got to go make a living. Have a safe day, y’all. Ciao!

Updates

Big ice storm predicted for the area starting tomorrow through Saturday. Chris and I are going to stay at the hotel for a couple of days so I can be at work. Comped, of course. Nothin‘ quite like a free stay in a brand new hotel. Well, things to do and place to go. Ciao!

Hey-just thought I would add this. I’ve got four different weather sites on del.icio.us and I’ve been checking them. Here’s what’s forecasted:

Friday: Accuweather says rain throughout the day. Weather Underground (WU) says by 300 pm light rain mixed with freezing rain. Intellicast says rain with some freezing rain later.

Friday nite:Accuweather says freezing rain late. WU says light freezing rain.Weather Channel calls for rain/freezing rain. Intellicast calls for periods of freezing with significant icing possible.

Saturday: Accuweather says intermittent freezing rain. WU says light freezing rain. Weather Channel (Weather) calls for rain/freezing rain.Intellicast says freezing rain.

Saturday nite: Accuweather forecasts a “bit of sleet and freezing rain.” WU says light freezing rain. Weather calls for rain/freezing rain. Intellicast calls for freezing rain.

Sunday: Morning icy mix, then sleet, and freezing rain according to Accuweather. WU says ice pellets mixed with sleet. Weather calls for wintry mix then a few snow showers in the evening. Clearing late.Intellicast Cloudy with a light wintry mix.

Sunday night: Accuweather says sleet and freezing rain in evening then clearing. WU says freezing rain and sleet, clearing late. Weather and Intellicast doesn’t forecast.

So who’s right? I’ll be very happy if all this staid either north or I-44 or south of the metro area.

So the flickr thing didn’t go as i keep playing with #@!!! codes. Sigh. And now I’ve got guests up. I sure do wish people wouldn’t slam doors at 455 am. Your neighbors sure do love when y’all do that. I’m frustrated. And off to make coffee.

Movies and Chiropractors

Had an absolutely fabulous weekend. Watched lots of movies, paid a bill, saw the chiropractor, and went to the movies. Spent lots of time with the hubby which was fab.

Saw The Wicker Man which is a remake with Nicholas Cage. Do not go see this movie. Ever. Poor Mr Cage, he use to have great roles. Whatever happened? Also on the flop is The Black Dahlia which totally wasn’t what I was expecting and well, sucked anyway. Not recommend unless you’re sadistic. The other movie gotten by my hubby at Blockbuster was The Devil Wears Prada which is something I mention that I kinda wanted to see. Yeah-wasn’t that thrilled with it. Fashionistas in NYC. The previews made it seem fun, funny, and great. Not to me.

Went to the movies and saw The Good Shepherd which was so amazingly good. Great spy movie, hell it’s a great movie. Not a lot of violence, not a lot of sex, but lots of intelligence and thought. Bobby DeNiro outdid himself with this one. I wanted to turn right back around, get another ticket, and go see it again. Excellent.

We got Netflix in this weekend also. I got Bones Season 1 which I’ve watched the pilot episode. Actually saw this when it first aired. But I like this series so I’ll glad rewatch to see what episodes I missed. I also got a SNL: John Belushi that I can’t wait to see. Chris got a couple of music things he can watch while waiting for me to get off of work.

The other news is that I’ve got a pinched sciatic nerve which is causing me lots of pain and discomfort. My butt hurts. My knees occasionally hurt. Been to the chiro twice this week with a third appointment on Friday. But the big news is that I can mark off of my life list getting stuck in an elevator. They were experiencing light surges at the chiro’s office (which is on the 22nd floor). To get an elevator up to us they sent a maintenance guy up with the elevator. It lurched to a stop on the sixth floor. Well, almost the sixth floor. Doors opened and there was brick and concrete. Next stop: basement. Instead of the first floor. In the elevator was my chiro (who’s eight months pregnant and claustrophobic), an employee of hers, Chris and I, and her previous patient. We stepped off the elevator (which was a foot above the basement) onto solid ground. Whew. Next time we’re taking the stairs.

Enough excitement for one day. I’m off to deliver the last of my express checkouts. Ciao!
