The night Lilo killed eBay, eggies, first snow, Turkey Day, and vacation to Florida...
Randomness alert: I changed around my user info, as well as my journal. While I loved that the Skunk ate the Condom, it definitely was going on a year, and now I have more fun stories about clients. That, and I was WICKED tired of the purple, so ta-da! I like the light blues, and it sort of matches the winter-ish mood.
Anyway, sometimes, the Floor kicks off certain websites. For instance, we could never access MySpace, Facebook, or YouTube. We thought that was about it. Lilo, for the past three or four weeks has been compulsively buying Precious Moments thingeys on eBay, which was still up and running. I had been doing a lot of shopping on eBay, which usually took place at the House while working with Chef Bratwurst, since I could watch an auction. Lilo was sitting here for all eight hours, just buying things on eBay.
Tonight, she came in and they blocked the site. They then blocked about five other sites she frequents. Me? None, except for eBay. I then giggled compulsively.
Maybe it's because I WORK occasionally, and don't spend eight hours on the computer, save for the fifteen minutes I give report. Damn.
Things have definitely been a bit on the busy schedule. I haven't really updated in so long for a couple of reasons:
· Lack of time
· DaWayne is acting goofy and/or loss of Internet
· Too damned tired to update at the end of the night
Good things have been happening however. For instance, I continued the Hurt tradition and made deviled eggs for multiple occasions. First, I made bacon and cheddar ones for my party (which sound disgusting, but they were bangin'). Then, I made them for Rican's party. Then, I was coerced into bringing them to Turkey Day dinner. I was supposed to bring them last night to a jewelry party, but just didn't have the umph to, so that didn't happen. I continue to find it funny, however, because I love that egg plate. When I first bought it back in May, I was unpacking it and noticed that it had an inscription on the underside of the plate. It read "Joyce 76." I found this most interesting, since that's Momma's name, and she would have been doing ceramics around that time. When I told her, she yelped, and both of us found it odd. She says she doesn't remember making something like, but it's COMPLETELY possible. Because that's just how my life is.
Random snow alert! On the 18th, the Lehigh Valley was slammed with snow, which I found odd. I had spent most of my evening looking up eBay and heard the rain falling when I went to bed early Sunday morning. I woke up on time, was brushing my teeth, and for some odd reason, I always walk around my apartment when I'm brushing my teeth. I looked outside in the parking lot, saw Kermit, and went, "What the fuck?" though I had a toothbrush in my mouth and subsequently came out as "Wut tha thuk?" Kermit was covered in snow! Wet, heavy snow that I had to scrape off with a brush! On the EIGHTEENTH OF NOVEMBER! I called the House, complete with my toothbrush, and rattled to Caterpillar, "I may be a little late as I now have to brush snow off my car. It totally wasn't like that when I went to bed!"
It went away as quickly as it had come. But that picture is from the House being covered in snow that night. If you look closely in upper middle right of the picture, you'll see Kermit looking very, very angry.
Finally, Turkey Day.
Though originally thought to be a BIG dinner, it was quite a small dinner, which was just fine by me. I ended up waking up half-way through it. The four of us had stayed up until 1030 watching our TV shows, and Caterpillar and I went to bed, getting up around 1330. I was practically comatose when I sat down at the table. We then ate lots of turkey, and Caterpillar and I went to work doubles at the House. This subsequently lead to turkey comas, which affected the whole House, clients and staff. After I got off the morning of Black Friday, I was originally supposed to sleep until Hunny came over and we trooped to a se-xay par-tay. Instead, I fell asleep at 0830 on Friday morning and didn't move until 0230 on Saturday. I slept for EIGHTEEN HOURS. That's just plain ludicrous.
In closing, plans have finally been, well, finalized, and I'M GOING TO FLORIDA! There was some confusion in the beginning, if Caterpillar was going, wasn't going, is going, can't go, and Hunny was um, sure! But Hunny is going, Caterpillar is not allowed, omg! and I'm super excited that I will be in Florida for seven days. I will be off for ten-ish, which makes me excited. I haven't had a vacation since I started working last year, so this proves to be interesting. And we're driving Kermit, so Lord knows I love a long drive to the South. Just me, the wind, cigarettes, and Mr. Bear traveling in Kermit...
... while Hunny snores consistently from the back seat.
