No inhibitions, No regrets

Got the phone call today that my refinance was fully approved. I was so excited...then I realized, why wouldn't they approve me?! Took the wind right out of my sails!! Now I have to wait for my commitment letter and then figure out where these people are going to send me to sign all the paperwork - Hawaii, maybe?!

Decided to check out Beatles tribute bands for my birthday party. Found a whole bunch of them but now have to weed through them...and the only way to do that is to see them perform. I saw one so far and they were pretty good. The next one I'm going to see might be a little too highbrow for me (translation: too much money!) but I'll see what I can do. I'd ultimately like to have the "highbrow" band perform but I don't want to blow my whole budget on the band.

Besides trying to figure out what band to hire, I have to figure out where to hold the freakin' thing. I'd prefer to have it some place where we're the only party. The last thing I want is a bunch of douche bags from another wedding or something crashing into my party. Then I'd have to go all Kill Bill on their ass! (And those who know me, know I'd do it too!).

Memorial Day weekend...decided to blow off both party invitations and have my own BBQ. This way I don't have to go anywhere. Luckily, I was able to hire a catering company to come out, tend bar and work the grill. (Cuz I wasn't going to do it!) Plus I need time to work the crowd...always workin'.

Tempest fugit! So much shit has happened...mom was in hospital, manager has bug up ass (what else is new?!), software problems in the field, finally refinanced the mortgage!! Luckily, everything is cool now...added a few more grey hair to my collection. Refinancing was a breeze! Why the hell was I putting it off for so long?! Cuz I'm a douche!! The only thing I have to do is write up why I was 30 days late on a payment back in 2002! WTF?! Might as well play along since I'll be saving $400/month. To save that kind of skish per month, I'd write the excuse in Latin!

Memorial Day is around the corner...got two invites for the same weekend. I sit around with my thumb up my ass all year round but get 2 invites for the same day. And quite honestly, I really don't want to go to either one. I'll have to plan on rearranging my sock drawer another night...

Just saw Kill Bill Volume 1...what a riot!! It worked out well since we watched "Shaolin Master Killer" (36 Chambers) last night. Gordon Liu!! HE ROCKS!! Makes me want to become a Shaolin monk!! But that put me in the right frame of mind to watch Kill Bill. I always watched Kung Fu Theatre as a kid so this brought me back to my glory days. Tarantino must have been a fan since some of scenes "dripped" of cheesy kung fu special effects! My favorite: limb cut off and blood spraying from the open wound! The best!! Can't wait to see Kill Bill Volume 2.

Boyfriend dropped a huge bomb on me on Friday...said that I could plan my birthday party and I have a $15K budget!! WHAT?! Where the heck did he get that kind of money?! No party necessary, sweetheart...just TIFFANY'S!! Holding that kind of cash out on me?? WTF?! LOL!!

Before I forget...wanted to post this link here. Has to do with some guy luring chicks into cyber sex and then totally screwing with their heads! I love it!!

That has to be the funniest shit I've read in such a long time!! I'm going to put on my robe and wizard hat now...

For some reason, I thought that this would be some sort of therapy for me to just jot things down. HA! I completely forgot about it. But I would like to keep this thing rolling just in case I do need to rant. Which brings me to why I'm here...RANT! So much has gone on since I last wrote anything in here that I don't know where to begin...travelling for work non-stop and dealing with "dramas" at work. Sometimes, I just want to shake some of them and scream, "Snap out of it!". One woman's kid tried to commit suicide and she's in complete denial about it. She feels he did that to "manipulate" her...HELLO?! She should be tapped lightly with a sledgehammer. I can't even talk to her about it anymore without my blood pressure going up 500 points. Now she's going to ship the kid off to some relative. Good answer. The household is a psychiatrists dream but she ships him off. 'Nuff said.

"The Apprentice" rocks! I was so pulling for Bill to win. No offense to Kwame...he's good but he just didn't have the extra "umph". Omarosa, in my opinion, is the biggest idiot on the face of the earth. Stick with your pagents sweetheart!! The corporate world is no place for you!!

Now I just have to wait for the "Survivor" finale. Boo-hiss to Boston Rob! Too cocky, too much ego...needs to go. To the idiots on the island: VOTE OFF AMBER. As Tom said, "like weaning a calf from it's momma's tittie". LOL!!

Alright, I have a confession to make...Instead of working one day last week, I skipped out and went to the spa! (My boyfriend gave me a gift certificate for my birthday...he knows how to keep me happy!). Left my PC running with a little script running in the background making it look like there was activity...scary what a little knowledge can do!

Three hours of pure pampering - pedicure, facial and massage!! I've always heard the saying, "Take care of you!" so I decided to make a break for it. After the pedicure (pure heaven! luckily, I was considerate and soaked my feet in Clorox the night before!), I went downstairs to get into a robe and await my facial. It was just so freakin' relaxing - my eyes were covered with a soft moisturizing cloth while a warm mist blew over my skin!! The only bad part was the blackhead "extraction" - it felt like she was sticking a needle in my face...did she confuse my facial with acupuncture?! What got me was how many blackheads she removed...I didnt see that many!! Then again, she used the same spotlight that is used in a prison break. As I whinced in pain, she said, "That's the price of beauty!". It took every ounce of energy not to just start swinging wildly - no wonder they cover your eyes...so you can't smack them upside their heads!! Luckily, she gave me some free samples of the things she used on my face so that made me forget the "extraction"...free samples fix everything! Afterwards, I sat in the lounge with a glass of ice tea, just glowing. I so belonged there!! The last thing was the massage - neck, shoulder and back. I feel asleep!! Now, that's the sign of a great, relaxing massage! *sigh* Some people get addicted to crack, I'm addicted to the spa...

Wow...do I feel stupid!! Here I was wondering what the f*ck happened to my posts...If I had just stopped to look at the instructions, I would have learned that I was using a cached copy of the page. No wonder!! Idiot with a capital "I"!!

Here's hoping that Bill Murray wins the Oscar!! And one more thing...who cares what everyone is wearing on the red carpet?!?!?!

Just finished watching My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance! What a riot!! Of course, all the shows up until the finale were a train wreck! It just sucked me in! How could someone put themselves into a situation like that? I think that's what really draws me in...to try and figure out why. Plus who actually has the time to take off like that? I'm perfectly happy if I can get 8 hours of sleep! Kudos to Steve Bailey who played the "obnoxious fiance"!!

Had to take the BMW to the mechanic for an oil change tonight. Thing has been blinking at me that I was overdue...200 miles, 500 miles, 750 miles, 1000 miles! Stop the insanity!! And to make matters worse, my mechanic is like the Saab mechanic on "Seinfeld". If you don't take care of the car, he ridicules you in his best German accent - "you are not worthy of having this car", etc. But that's what brings me back - maybe he's my reality show? Actually, he's honest...he could call me a c*nt and I wouldn't care, just as long as he didn't rip me off.

Had to add another "buddy" to my instant messaging profile. I didn't have to add it but I did it as a courtesy on a trial basis (don't piss me off!). My boyfriend's friend's new girlfriend...that's all I need! Someone else to shoot me a message while I'm in the middle of writing some code. As soon as I add her, she sends a message. Great...the sign of things to come. Now she sees me as some sort of ally. So instead of sending off quick little one liners, I get paragraph after paragraph (indented!) of information regarding her relationship. I quickly shot back a reply after the first paragraph, "you don't have to tell me all the gory details if it's too personal" (you have mistaken me for someone who gives a sh*t! please stop!!). Needless to say, she didn't pass the audition...Life's too short...

Life is NOT like a box of Chocolates.
Life is like a jar of jalapenos.
What you do today...
May burn your ass tomorrow
