Rabid Beasts!
Jul 2nd
OK… so a squirrel isn’t a beast but I wanted to capture your attention. Last night, we’re sitting down watching Kinsey and we hear sirens. I didn’t pay any attention to it until it started coming down our street and then I noticed it was an ambulance. Five minutes later, a fire truck follows. It went down to the other end of the street and well, I was too lazy to walk down there and be the nozy ass that I am so I just went back inside.
About an hour later… we’re still watching the movie and there is a knock on the front door. This is about 9:30PM and we thought it was kinda weird considering we don’t really know anyone in the neighborhood yet. (Side Note: If you have ever seen the movie “Kinsey” you know it’s filled with a bunch of sex stuff… the particular part in the movie was talking about QUEERS *gasp* and our front windows were open so I’m sure the neighbors appreciated fag speak when they walked up. haha.) Anyway! The neighbor who showed up, her name is Rachel (I’m not about keeping identities safe, just so you know) and she was like… “I just thought ya’ll should know that a squirrel with rabies bit a kid down the street and I know you have dogs so I thought you should know and I also feed the squirrels so I was a little worried myself…”. Oh my GOD. She talked for five minutes about this damn squirrel. I said.. “Well, that’s what rabies shots are for! Night!”
I hope the kid is OK.

Coffee
Jul 1st
I don’t typically drink a whole lot of coffee. Generally it’s a mug full in the morning and that’s satisfying enough to get me through the day. I will make it in the morning before I leave for work, sip on it throughout the drive and then finish it up during my morning. (I love my Starbucks mug, keeps things nice and toasty!). Sometimes I will venture into our lil break room area and pour another cup, add a little cream and sugar and be on my way.
I walked into the break room yesterday and there was a cup sitting next to the coffee maker with plastic stir dealies, sitting in coffee infested DIRTY water. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing… who wouldn’t go out and buy some of those disposable stirrers so that people aren’t using germ infested plastic utensils that have been sitting in dirty water for GOD knows how long? I’m so lucky that my mug has a nice tight lid that I can just shake up my coffee to mix in the perfect blend of cream & sugar.
On a side note: I will not be having coffee from there ever again. That totally turned me off to the whole ‘company coffee’. Yuck.

Do you ever just wake up in the morning and have that feeling like it’s going to be a SHITTY day? That is how my day started. I woke up this morning with a black dog (see below) laying in between Brynn and I panting her fool head off. Normally, my good wifey gets up with the dogs but I could tell this wasn’t going to be the case this morning. Haha. I try to get up when I hear them to give her a break of having to do it every day but typically, once I am awake, I’m awake and then my foul mood sets in. Sometimes I can go back to sleep but this morning my mind wasn’t working very well over the matter. ANYWAY. I went back to bed after letting the dogs out and feeding them… then I was in bed until 6:30 which wasn’t very smart considering I should have been up by 6:00-6:10.
So I hurry around this morning, get ready and then the dogs are out of water. I could have told Brynn but I was already in a pissy mood and I didn’t want to take it out on her even more so I just did it and filled up the neat auto water contraption thing.
My drive into work is typically about 30 minutes… mainly highway until I make my way into our industrial park. There is SO much construction happening right now that I don’t know WHAT roads are open or closed. It’s crazy. So I’ve been taking a route that appeared to be pretty clear every morning and I was able to make it within the 30 minute “commute” window. So, I’m driving down my normal road and I see that IT is now closed. No signage, nothin. It is a service road so you can’t turn off of it, you have to turn AROUND and then find another route. This added on an additional 15 minutes to my drive. I swear, there are two seasons in Kansas… Winter & Construction.
So, anyway… as it stands, my day appears to be gettng slightly better but it IS only 9:25… things can change very rapidly around here.
I’ll keep ya posted.

It didn’t last.

I don’t even know when I made my first initial entry. I just looked at it but didn’t pay any attention to the date. Clearly I didn’t keep up on my end of the deal… I suck.
In other news: I was introduced to http://www.dooce.com by my girl Brynn and I can’t stop reading it. I’m addicted to it… not to mention that it keeps me busy while ‘working’. The chick who blogs, Heather, is hilarious.

Well, I guess I have to admit. I am a big follower. I have ignored all of this blog stuff for many days/months/years but I can’t take it any longer. I must blog.
