I've been feeling uneasy about my new haircut ever since I got it.
Being likened to Fryer Tuck didn't really help that at all.....
But, I'm a big girl, so I put my big girl pants on and persevered. Then along came the lady with the lazy eye and bright red bozo hair.
"You're hair is so cute!" She marveled. She actually stood back and took the time to take it all in.
"Thank you," I replied. "I've been feeling a little insecure about it, it wasn't exactly what I had wanted."
"Well, don't worry. It's very cute."
It wasn't until after she walked away that I thought about it a little deeper.
It was a genuine compliment, and I felt relieved when I heard it, but how relieved can one be with a compliment bestowed upon you by someone who probably has a collection of banjo's hanging on the walls of their dirt floor shack.
It is what it is, I suppose, and it did make me smile to hear that someone was approving of my new cut, even when I wasn't so sure of it myself. So, for now, I'll try to forget I was ever compared to fryer Tuck and remember that, even if it's only the lady with the lazy eye, someone out there did, indeed, think my hair looked cute.

And it just wouldn't be the same unless I found a pair of someone else's underwear in the washer.
As luck would have it, I did just that.
Yuck....
Somehow, I always manage to leave the laundry room with all of my unmentionables. Perhaps I am doing something wrong??

My ex-husband is moving his girlfriend into my house this week.
Some of her stuff is already in it.
To say I don't feel hurt by this would be lying. I do. Not because I want him back, or because I miss the life I once led, because I don't. I feel hurt because, this was my home. I brought my home from the hospital to this home. I lived there for 10 years, and spent the 5 before that building it.
Everything that was me went into that home....
It hurts me a little more because, my middle is excited that she will be there. "I'll have someone to pick me up from the bus finally, and she'll cook dinner too."
I should have been the one to do these things for him, and it's moments like that where I feel overwhelming guilt because I didn't. I had no choice in the matter, he chose to live with his dad, and I didn't want to upset his life any more than I had by leaving.
I don't like how painful this feels, I guess it's a part of life though.

1. I can see why you have thick legs. You probably climb these stairs a thousand times a day.
2. I wish I could just be like you and not care what I look like.
3. Should I punch in before I start work?
And my personal favorite.....
4. What should I write in the spot where it says name?
Seriously people???
I have come to realize I work in a place where respect is a figment of imagination, decorum is yet to be defined, and a brain is used only as filler for head space.
Very sad.
It does explain, however, why it is that my self esteem has gone to shit.
One last thing.....
My car door has stopped opening from the inside.
Any mechanics in the audience out there?
How can I fix it for cheap? Is it possible?
I currently feel like a redneck spokesperson each time I roll my window down to open my door from the outside. Couple that with my thick legs and unwillingness to care about how I look and I'm certain I'm coming off as a real winner.

How about Rhino Liner for the heart.
You guys have all seen the commercials for Rhino Liner. Huge, gas guzzling trucks driving 90 mph through mud puddles while a Sam Elliot voice narrates the joys of being able to dump a ton of bricks into the back of the truck without damaging the bed.
If it were humanly possible, I'd say I had somehow managed to place a rhino liner around my heart.
It's impenetrable.
To say I have trust issues is putting it lightly. Part of me worries that I'll never let anyone in ever again. Part of me wonders why I would ever WANT to let someone in ever again.
For now, I guess I'll continue to mask my inner struggle with sarcasm and humorous anecdotes.
While people will always remember the funny girl with the interesting stories, they tend to forget the fact that she kept the world at arm's length.

A woman at customer service was completely dumbfounded that her credit card was canceled and was certain it was something we had done incorrectly.
After all, according to our customers, us lowly employees are the scourge of the retail industry.
After an intense 45 minute conversation involving the customer, the customer service representative for the credit card company, and 2 employees, it was discovered the woman had wracked up such a huge amount of debt on her credit card that the credit card company INACTIVATED the card when she had stopped paying any of it back.
Ha!
Employee error?? I think NOT!

Selective Power Shortage

Anyone out there work for the light company?
Here's what I'm proposing.....
My downstairs neighbor has the volume on her tv so loud I can't even hear myself think. What I would like is the power in her apartment to go out long enough for me to kick back, have a beer or two, and unwind from the day.
Is this possible?
Damn... I was really hoping.
I somewhat dislike my downstairs neighbor a little more each day, mainly because she does not treat her very well. This morning I was abruptly woken at 3am by the sound of her shrill voice screaming at one of her through the floor of my bedroom.
Part of me feels bad for her because I know she's a struggling single mom. Another part of me would like to just kick her ass because she can sometimes be a bitch and a tyrant.
For now, I would settle for the selective power shortage.

Absolutely throbbing. I hate having to work in customer service on the weekends.
I wasn't in the best mood when I got to work this morning. According to the manager, however, had I 'gotten laid' this morning my day would have been greatly improved.
Really?!? Thanks genius, I'm SO glad you shared such a treasured pearl of wisdom.
Every fiber of my being wonders how such moronic people have rose to positions of authority where I work.
She apparently feels that she is a sexual revolutionary because she is not quite divorced yet but seeing someone.
Whatever.....
She is completely unaware, of course, about my real life in general or that I am one of those people who have found myself on a site like this. I can't imagine the day coming where I would share any of the details of my past experiences with her, but then again, it's usually those with the experiences who don't kiss and tell. It's the ones who do not who blab to the entire world.

So much has changed since I last visited. The blog page looks completely different....
A lot has changed in my life as well.
For starters, I moved. No longer am I stuck with the roommate from hell. Once again it's me and my doing our own thing in our own apartment.
One truly cannot appreciate the good things in life unless they've experienced the absolute worst.
I'm here to say, I think I did experience the absolute worst. Somehow I managed to survive the lowest point in my entire life and come out on the other side a better person.
A thankful person.
Thankful for my , and the relationship I have with them. Thankful for the friends who remained by my side, and were there for me at my lowest. (It was a pretty short list.)
Because honestly, if it hadn't been for them, I would not be here today.

Has been hanging pretty low, lately.
My mother died on March 21st, it's been going steadily downhill since then.
I would love to hear about some of the good things happening in my dear readers lives. Cheer me up folks with some of your recent high points, I'd love a reason to smile.

I had a rough day yesterday.
Have you ever been emotionally overwhelmed? Without an outlet to release it?
The roommate, her , and my are all here this weekend. It's complete chaos around here and there isn't any way for me to really escape. On normal weekends I would just pack my up and go somewhere for the day, somewhere fun, somewhere we are able to spend quality time hanging out with each other.
This weekend I can't.
I can't because my has just gotten out of the hospital.
Two days in a row at the ER. Tons of fun.
The school called me Thursday to tell me she was not feeling well and that I should come get her. When I got there I knew immediately she was having respiratory issues and I took her to the walk-in right away. If I catch this stuff in time, she doesn't get bad enough to be hospitalized.
I didn't catch it in time.
Because she wasn't responding as well to the treatments at the walk-in as they would have liked, the sent me to the ER for further evaluation.
Five hours later they decided to keep her overnight.
That makes 2 days in a row that I spent my ENTIRE day sitting in an ER.
Ugh....
The ex-asshole was his usual self. I had left a message on his phone telling him they had decided to keep our , he got the message and called back.
"Well, is she dying?" He greets me with, sarcasm dripping from his voice.
He's certainly a concerned parent, isn't he.
Had I not been in the room with the ER doctor, her nurse, and the respiratory guy, I would have probably given him a piece of my mind. I always wish he would just die, but at that moment in time, I truely felt it with every fiber of my being.
My plan is in place though, and I hope to get the hell out of this hell hole as soon as possible. I talked to the apartment manager on Friday, when my was in the ER, and she told me the accountant was reviewing my app and I should know by early next week if everything goes smoothly.
Next step is the actual move.
And, believe me, I will be moving as soon as humanly possible. I can't get the hell out of here fast enough.
I'm so appreciative of all your good thoughts, dear readers, and all the good vibes you've sent my way. I truly believe it's helping.  So keep sending me those good vibes.
