I didn’t go into work today. I needed a mental health day. Thankfully they are completely ok with that.

The down side is that no one does my work when I am gone.

Oh well.

I may have to tell a woman tomorrow at work that the $7K she thought she was getting back in cash isn’t going to happen. This doesn’t make me happy and has lead me to drink before 5 pm.

On a side note- Be very cautious when a VERY prestigious software company tells you that you can earn cashback on purchases made through their site.

You have been warned

Just like that and my day has changed.

My friend is sick so no hair and make-up play date. No party tonight in Waukesha.

So my new plan for the day is to go to the Zoo and then Olbrich to see the butterfly show.

Now if I could only pull the stick out of my husbands ass.

Which in layman’s terms means that I get to chill with some girls that I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with. Tomorrow I am spending some time doing hair, wedding hair and make-up and just chillin’ with good friends. It’s been too long and I need some stress free time with friends.

So my friend Nickiey came up to visit for the afternoon. She chose the perfect day to come up. We went to Hong Kong cafe for lunch. Which is the best for pot stickers and chicken egg rolls. Seriously I won’t eat potstickers anywhere else. Then we went to Genna’s, where I hooked up with my husband many years ago. =)

It was Art Fair on the Square weekend, so we walked around that and marveled at the cost of what people consider is art. It was a great time and I love spending time with great friends and my husband. One of the great moments of the day was when we were driving by a wedding on the lake front and Nic leans out the window and screams - SUCKERS!!!- Seriously I almost peed my pants. OMG it was hysterical.

We then went to dinner at Toby’s Supper Club. Which John and I go to every Friday night. We have been going to this restaurant religiously for the last 5 years. At least once a week. So yummy.

Then Nic had to go home to her husband and son. Phhppt. Whatever.

I will see her and a bunch more Milwaukee friends this coming Saturday.

I can’t wait.

Tomorrow my friend Nic is coming up for a visit. I haven’t seen her in ages and am so excited I could pee. Then tomorrow night a friend is having a party that we need to make an appearance at. I am hoping that we will be home early so I can get to bed early and sleep late on Sunday. Late for me of course means 6:30 or 7 am but hey, at least it’s something.

So tonight my son had his first boy/girl movie.

Ummm he is 12 and I am not ready for this.

Nothing happened. Except he bought the girls food.

Well at least he is a gentleman…

I pray his father doesn’t share that I put out for a grouper sandwich.

*sigh*

Let the excessive drinking begin

John was done with work early do to a doctor appointment so he thought we should go for a walk on State Street. So we walked up and down State and ended up at Gennas for a drink or three. We then went to the Tornado Room for dinner, which was great.

It was a very peaceful, relaxing afternoon which I think my husband needed desperately.

He proceeded to come home and take a nap on the couch while I had to get my gmail and facebook fix.

We are perfect for each other

It’s a beautiful thing. This weekend has been so great. We had a ton of friends over on Friday. Not all the friends we invited (I’m looking at you Dani and Jessie). We had some great food and some great Wii time. Saturday I recovered and pampered myself and got my nails done and a pedicure while my husband went and played golf with friends and his brother. Today I got some quality time with Olivia and Elliott and I loved it. John went golfing again and I got to enjoy my threesome in peace.

I love weekends like this because during the summer they are few and far between. Our next 4 weekends are jammed packed.

Oh did I mention that my mom is coming up for two weeks next month? Yeah I didn’t think so.

My favorite kind of marathon. Law and Order SVU.

I live for these days.

Ok so I have bitched on a different site about the female co-workers I have.
On our floor we lease our space from the company that owns the floor. Which means that we share a bathroom. I go in today and had an email stating that we were going to be locked out of the bathroom because some women feel the need to not clean up after themselves. Also the words ” please clean the seat if you miss or have issues” were in the email.
Now I have been in the bathroom after the person or persons who have issues. It’s not a pretty sight or smell.

When the fuck did women become so fucking nasty that after they poop, they can’t fucking flush.

Seriously if I have go down 7 flights so I can pee cause your nasty white trash ass can’t flush. I will be pist and call you out on it.

So Lisa was married Saturday afternoon at the Rotary Gardens in Janesville. I have never been there before but it was absolutely beautiful. It was sad to see so much of it flooded and some of the bridges and walkways under water but it was still pretty. It was a small intimate ceremony. Family and close friends only. This is a second marriage for them both and they included all the kids in the vows which I thought was cool. After the ceremony we went to the Janesville Armory. We had the entire upstairs to ourselves. The salad was amazing and I had probably the best steak of my life for dinner. It was a rib eye that was so tender it was cut with a butter knife. Incredible. The cake came from Bon-Ton Bakery in Jefferson. It was good, I thought it was a little dry for my taste but it had a vanilla flavor I had never had before. Also the frosting was sweet without it being too sugary.

The reception was intimate and involved lots of getting to know Lisa’s new family. We sat at the head table with them, which was a little weird since it was Lisa and Ron and the two oldest boys and us but it was fun. There were only about 40 people total so everyone could mingle and talk and it was very nice. I loved getting to know Lisa’s new sons and they were a blast to talk to.

Lisa and Ron were so happy and so in love. They were what people need to remember when planning a wedding. You don’t need thousands of flowers and an expensive photographer to have a great wedding.

Great food and open bar with the people you love is much more important. When we left everyone was well on their way to a hell of a hangover. Lisa and Ron had an early flight (4am) for their honeymoon to St.Thomas.

So the wedding was awesome and I will leave you with a few pictures of the day.

Probably my cloest friend for the last 8 years is getting married tomorrow for the second time. My firm belief is that you get the option to have a trial first marriage. While you may not need it some of us do. Her trial marriage lasted over 20 years. I helped her through. She is now on the other side and blissfully happy. I get to start wedding hair at 9am. Which I am not a fan of. However for her and one other person this summer, I am bending my rules and doing wedding hair. I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite me in the ass.

I also feel bad that she thinks that since it’s her second marriage she didn’t need wedding pics. So I will be doing my best with my Cannon Sure Shot to get some great pics for her.

Of all the people I know, Lisa deserves her second chance at happiness, God knows her first shot was cut short due to , well her ex husband being a dick,

Family is traditionally your blood relatives.

In recent weeks and months I have come to realize that family are the people who hold your needs, wants and desires close to their hearts in addition to your own.

My family in these last few weeks have had some changes.

Biological people have been given an exit pass and people I have established friendships with over the past couple years have replaced blood relatives that never deserved a spot in the first place.

So without further ado….

The newest members to my family (which probably isn’t news to them) are my beautiful friend Nickiey, with her stunning red hair, hot ass husband and gorgeous son. Bonus points for having a Badger room. She is my long lost sister. We theoretically share the same mother and we have overcome. I have loved her from the first Marlboro light in a box and a Limon and diet with a lime. Oh wait you don’t have sour cream? What NO SOUR CREAM?? Are you shitting me?

And to Dani. From the first moment I met you I knew we would be friends and then family.

You understand parent issues on a completely different level. You are funny and smart and beautiful and your husband is a funny fucker, even though he doesn’t want to meet internet friends. I can tell you and Nic anything and I won’t be judged.

I love you both so much and would do anything for you. Ok Well most of the time. I’m not hiding your pot cause well, I’d smoke it and that would be bad.

I love you both immensely and can’t imagine my life without both of you in it.

I pink puffy fucking heart you fucking bitches,

You know it’s with love

One particular virtue I do not possess is patience. With anything. period.

Things I don’t have tolerance/patience for-

1. Jackasses on the beltline who can’t do the speed limit, Let along 65.

Yes I am the bitch in the SUV who has no problem running up your ass. Also FYI I have insurance and I have NO PROBLEM rear ending you and telling you what a fucking moron you are. That is why I pay insurance. Don’t push me. You are warned

2. Morons at work- I hate people who attempt to make themselves seem more important and more competent than they really are in a quite vain attempt to keep a job that you are clearly not qualified for.

I admit I am not a rocket scientist but I grab the basic concept of language and customer support.

I’m not a Geek Squad employee who got fired for crappy service but feel the need to try and redeem themselves ( HI BEN!!!)

3. Ignorance is not bliss people. Pay fucking attention, cause if you aren’t, Other people are and karma is a bitch and I love to be the bitch to deliver it.
