I think I need a nap

My Head Hurts.
Hurts so bad my vision is a little blurry.
So blurry, I can't see really bright colors.

Bright colors are making my head hurt more.

I'm thirsty, I wish I could drink my water straight from the sink.
I can't though, so it must be Brita filtered.
Water bottles are expensive, and I can't be bothered to pour my filtered water and put it in the fridge so it's cold.

So I do the only logical thing, drink Milk from the gallon.
Or I grab a pop, cause it's so easy and fast and just right there.

I hate pop.
It gives me Migraines if I drink to much.

I don't know what to make for Dinner.
Cereal?
Ramen Noodles?

I don't know, I can't be bothered with these thoughts, my head hurts too much.

Have I got a story for you

First off, I hope everyone had a wonderful, warm Christmas!
I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit, you just can't smile when things fall apart...

Okay, now take lunch and enjoy my story. Oh and before I start, I would like to say that the following event is true. I can't make this stuff up.

Monday December 22, 2008
I had a Chiropractor appointment much like I do every Monday.
So I head in to town for my appointment. Things are good and I'm in and out. I dash to the grocery store to get a couple things.
Now I'm heading out of town, enjoying a bagel on my way to work.
Then Bam it happens, out of now where, I mean I didn't see it coming.
What, WHAT? you ask.
Well my friends I hit a deer. (Hey we live in MT it happens)
To be exact I hit a buck, a mule deer buck.
I was in the middle of town when I hit the SOB deer.
I wasn't driving fast, obviously because the SOB deer, ran off. There was no blood, no broken bones. The only piece of the SOB deer I had were 6 strands of hair/ fur.
Oh but don't forget my parting gift.
Broken grill guard
Broken Head light
Dented Fender
The list goes on. In fact it goes on so far my cost to fix my truck (which by the way is still a baby she's only 3 months old) is 3200.00 dollars.
Thank GOD I have insurance.

But I'm getting ahead of myself.
After I hit the SOB deer, I'm in shock, I can't believe it. Is this really happening?
I pull onto some street in town, and blindly pull into some parking lot that isn't marked. Hey maybe I'll get robbed too.
I get out and assess the damage.
Kindly the lady behind me who was witness to everything got out as well to ask if I was okay.
That's when I start to cry. I say I'm fine, this sucks and some other choice words. Thank the lady and off she goes. (I don't even ask her name, birthday, licence plate, ideal date, nothing.)

I do what anyone would do.
I call my Husband, he doesn't answer.
I call my Mom and cry. The only thing I was thinking is "What else can happen?" This is a bad nightmare, I've had nothing but bad luck for 3 months now....
"I don't have the money for this!" "I just bought this truck, just bought the insurance"
"Mom, what do I do?" "Mom, why does this keep happening?"
My Mom asks me, "Where are you?"
I say, "I don't know, in town somewhere"

She told me to call the Sheriff so I can report it so I can then turn it into my insurance.
I call the Sheriff and give them horrible directions to where I am. "Um, I'm by the vet across the street from the tractor store"
Needless to say, she wanted to laugh at me, I know she did. But nicely asked if there were any signs around me. There was thankfully. So she was sending someone on their way.

I sit in this parking lot for half an hour, it starts to snow. I just got a hold of Ryan when the Sheriff pulled up.
I get all my info and into his van we go to do paperwork!
That is all finished, I ask him what I should do. He said go to the shop and get it checked out!
So I call Ryan back, fill him in. And he said he will come get me. In the mean time, I call my insurance and give them all the info re: my SOB deer parting gift. (Stupid deer, I wish I could run him over again, I guaran damn tee he would not RUN away and there would be blood lots of blood) ANYWAYS
1 hour later Ryan gets there. The roads suck, it's cold and I feel like life is out to get me.... no seriously.
On the way to the body shop I pass a cop car, what does the cop car do? He rubber necks my truck and flips a U-y. HA, great!

So I get pulled over.
He asks if I'm aware of my Headlight. Me.... uh YEAH. I hit a deer this morning, about oh an hour ago and I'm on my way to the body shop.
Oh really? Licence and registration please.

Sure why not. Do you want my finger prints too, maybe a DNA test.
I'm still thinking "Anything else we can fit into today?"

So he checks things out and weirdly my story pans out. He apologizes about the damages and sends me on my way.

Finally we get to the shop. They look at my truck, take pictures and give me the estimate.

3200.00 dollars.
WHAT? I didn't even kill the deer. I want to, but I didn't.
I thought Ryan would fall over from heart failure.
Thankfully I have insurance, thank you GOD.

The insurance approved the estimate, and sent a check. I just have to pay the deductible.
Tomorrow hopefully I will be able to go pick up my truck. Hopefully it's like new again.
My next investment will be a grill guard with spikes sticking out the front so anything dares to run in front of me again, it'll practically be suicide by impalement!
I can laugh now, but then I was so upset and mad and Mad and upset.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

Oh Man

So if you know me well, you know that I'm not connected to the wonderful world of Internet at home.
So this post is coming to you from work.
If you read my post yesterday, you know this isn't good.

If you didn't read it, I wanted today off so I could run some errands.
The fact that I'm here is poopy, I was denied my day off.

Oh well that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
At least I will get more of the green on pay day.
I hate money.
But I love it.
But I hate it so much.
But still I love it.
No, no I hate it.

It can't buy you happiness but if you don't have a lot of it, you are often stressed out and unhappy. It's a cycle, a really bad cycle.
Just thinking about it is tiring. Makes me want to pack my bags and run away.
There is one good thing about today.... all you 8-5 er's M-F say it with me. Thank God it's Friday!

What are your plans for the weekend?
I was going to go grocery shopping today so I could make Christmas Cookies and 25 different types of Molasses Cookies all weekend, for 2 days straight....
But my plans have changed. (I really hate when that happens)

Now I don't know what I'm doing. I feel lost, confused, wondering if I can ever get back on track, hopeless.

Okay okay, I'll stop being so dramatic, it's not really in my genetic makeup.... I don't think anyways. (DON'T ANSWER THAT)
Well one thing is for sure, I'll be enjoying lots of hot chocolate. Why? Cause the weather outside is really frightful! Hey... isn't that a song?

Fruit loops

I'm cranky today.
And there is now way around it.

Have you ever just been fed up with it.
It = everything

work
money
food
cooking
pets
work
work

Yeah I'm there.

I'm going to take tomorrow off, cause I need too. I have other crap I need to do and I can't get it done because I'm always at work.
I can't do it Saturday because I have a basketball tournament.
Besides the banks aren't open on Saturday's... Why?
Well some banks are, but most aren't. That is stupid.

I'm hungry too. Anyone have any cereal?
When I'm really hungry I always crave Fruit Loops and I usually HATE fruit loops.
Why do I do that?

Um so when do I get off for Christmas? The 23rd? Yep sounds good to me! I wonder if I will get a Christmas bonus? Probably not, but it would be nice.

Can you tell I'm cranky?

It's not my fault I'm hungry.

Hungry people really can't be held responsible for what they do or say.

Christmas Time = Baking & weight gain!

Forgive me for yesterday. Will you please? If it was you in my spot I'm sure you would have complained about your darn tire too.

I got the tired fixed and all is right once again.
Now back to the regular scheduled programing.
But I don't really have a schedule... oh nevermind.

Molasses, Moalazzes, Muhlesses
You ever do that with a word? Oh, I know you do don't lie.

Anyways, the other day I was having a craving for something sweet and well I went overboard.

I made chocolate chip cookies and rice crispie treats. Crispy, Crispee, Chrispee.
They were delish, wanna know how I know. They were gone the next day. Ryan had a healthy breakfast of coffee and rise chrispee treats!

The chocolate chip cookies didn't stand a chance either.

Now, I'm on a mission to try out 3 different Molasses cookies recipes. Yes 3.
It's okay Molasses is okay in moderation right? RIGHT?
Well I will report back to you and let you know how it goes.
Also once I get the family recipe from my Mom I will be making the best sugar cookies EVA. NO SERIOUSLY they are awesome. They could save the world.

Sadly I won't share that recipe, it's a family secret. So that means I will make them and rub it in your face at how wonderful they are.
Then you'll laugh and call me fat cause I've been eating too many treats.
Then I'll go home and cry and eat some more.
Then I go to counseling and be miserable.
And it will all be your fault for laughing at me and calling me fat.
All over sugar cookies.

See I told you they are powerful.

What gives?

Seriously? This is not happening!

First off I'm freezing, my office is a... are you ready for this? We are a whopping 41 degrees in here.
Then to top it off, when I got to work I heard that amazing hissing sound from my tire. Yep you guessed it, I have a gaping hole in my tire and it's rapidly going flat.

COOL.

But wait folks, that's not all.
There is no one here, so little ol' me is outside looking at my damn tire. Staring at it willing it to just fix it's self.
Then because my day can't get any worse, it starts to snow....

My fingers? What are those? Are those the deadly white things that I'm jabbing at the key board right now? But I couldn't really tell you cause I lost feeling in them about an hour ago. I'm hoping they'll just fall off and new ones will grow back.

I'm pissed about my tire.
I'm pissed about being cold AGAIN.
I'm pissed about my tire, did I already say that? Well I'm really mad so I can say it twice.

I'm pissed I had to spend more money that I really don't have to fix a tire on a truck that I just bought. I mean seriously this is like some sick joke from hell. The past several months have by definition sucked. And now I'm pissed about it.

Merry Christmas folks, I'm putting my Santa hat away for today and I'm officially Scrooge if just for a day.

update quickie

The roast I made the other night was GOOD, took longer then I thought to cook. But it was good. I also made killer mashed potatoes and gravy to accompany it. I didn't want my roast, the beautiful roast to be lonely.

Wednesday night, I hit a dog ( I know my thought was... "Merry Christmas, and I ran over your dog. Okay gotta go!"). The dog had a really bad habit of chasing cars. I felt really bad, but fortunately I was driving really slow cause our road is really bumpy so all the dog suffered was a broken leg. The owner is getting the dog fixed. Hopefully his car chasing days are over cause he's a pretty expensive pup now.

Yesterday I had to take a buffalo to town. I looked really classy with a dead buffalo in the back of my truck. And the thing that cracked me up was my tail gate was down and the image people who were driving behind me was the dead buffalo's butt.... well actually a big hole, because it had been cleaned and gutted. So they saw the empty cavity of the belly and gaping hole where poop used to come out. (I laughed a lot at the faces I saw in my rear view mirror)

Last night I couldn't fall asleep. I don't know why though because I was tired, really tired. But finally around 1:00 sleep finally came.

This morning I was tired.

I'm still tired.

We are going to be sending out our Christmas cards soon. Hopefully by Monday.

I have a basketball tournament to coach on Sunday.

I need to water my chickens when I get home. (Yeah I have chickens, wanna make something of it??)

I'm going to try my hardest to make some cookies tonight. I've been wanting to try a new recipe all week.

Thank goodness it's Friday!!
Have a good weekend!
