I am SUCH a Slacker

Ξ April 26th, 2008 | → 9 Comments | ∇ dogs, nuttin in particular, ramblings |

It is almost 3 and I don’t even have a post up today. What a frikken slacker I am sometimes. Although, in my defense, I had a busy week last week. No matter how gorgeous my hotel was, and how comfy the king sized bed was, I didn’t get much sleep in Atlantic City. There was too much Ketel One to be consumed, too many people to watch, too much fun to be had. Oh yeah, and I had to work the trade show floor also. On top of all of that, travel wipes me out.

Don’t feel too sorry for me being tired, though. We had the good fortune of traveling first class this trip…having a limo pick us up in Philly for the drive to Atlantic City, staying in a new, first rate hotel. Every time we went to the convention center the limo delivered us. Normally I am not a fan of limos, but this trip I found myself enjoying having all of us in the same vehicle instead of having to take several cabs. And the free water, pop, pretzels, peanut M & M’s, etc. was a nice touch. Especially when my hungover self needed to refuel.

In an effort to rest so that I don’t get sick (especially with TC coming up), today the dogs and I are really enjoying this relaxing Saturday. There are tons of things that I really need to take care of and I should be cleaning, but my Mom always said “Don’t should on yourself” and I am taking that advice today. Not doing a damn thing. For a long while I was outside with the boys, throwing the ball for Ludo. When it was about to start raining I came inside to dig around in Dave2’s archives. That man is amazing. Here it is his 5th blogiversary and he is giving us prizes. Blogography is such a gift in and of itself, yet he has all kinds of t-shirts and playing cards and buttons and drawings and himself to give. I WANNA WIN!! Mostly to be able to drag Dave all over the Burgh and to have him create a custom artwork image just for me. That would be entirely too cool. Good news is that even if I don’t win the contest I will have the opportunity to meet Dave in Philly next weekend. Guess that is a pretty decent consolation prize.

Speaking of TequilaCon, many of my friends are baffled that I am willing to drive five hours to hang out with 50 to 60 bloggers that I have never met before. Honestly, I appreciate their concern, but some of these people are already friends even if I have never seen them in person before. If they are gonna chop me up in little pieces, I really don’t think it will be done by a blogger at the hotel in Philly. Hell, I have a better chance of a complete stranger strangling me in Philly…that town has a few rough patches!

i appreciate that my friends care. I really do. It is nice to be cared about. Of course, if I ever forget how loved I am, I only need to view this photo that was taken while trying to type to you all:

driving me crazy

hehe

Happy Saturday to all.

Happy Day After the HHD

boys in muddy kitchen

reilly running to me 

The High Holy Day was also my Reilly’s 8th birthday.  That is his sweet little black and white face that you see in the photo.  You’ll be able to tell that I don’t have kids when I say that I completely spoiled him rotten upon my return home from work.  Honestly I can say that I have no clue what I would do without that little boy.  His unconditional love, his gentleness and his patience remind me to be a better person.  Yes, they really do.  But I keep noticing more and more white on his normally mostly black face.  Breaks my heart.  Today, though, I chose to celebrate him now instead of concentrating on the march of time.

Looking at that one photo (that I had to “hide” because it won’t fit nice and small on the damn page) of the dogs in my muddy kitchen (I miss winter’s freezing cold or summer’s drying heat) made me laugh at my issue with magnets.  Yeah, you can barely see the fridge through all the magnets.  In the spirit of opening my life up to the entire internetz, here are photos of my fridge:

There are some cool magnets and some really stupid ones.  Ten frogs on the front of the fridge, more on the sides.  Only three turtles, even though I also love turtles.  One elephant.  And a whole bunch of other shit.  To the point where I really can’t handle more than a few more Magnets.  Before I need another fridge. 

So, tell me, what do you collect?

P.S.  Oh, the whole exposing myself to the internet?  Yeah, I did.  Which means I have to ask if you voted for me in the best cleavage contest over at FABBY’s place yet?  I am not allowed to tell you which boobies are mine, but lemme tell you, mine are not small and I seem to have showed much more of me than some other women.  I can win fifty bucks if I get enough votes.  And the competition is rough.  One woman has gorgeous boobs in a lace up sexy thing.  Please don’t vote for her!   Click on FAB’s name to get over to his site for voting.  (Contest rules say I can’t tell you which lovely lady lumps are mine.  Hope you can figure it out.  If not, enjoy the boobies!)  www.pointless-drivel.com
