"It's the Swivel Foot Heel Kick Action That's Hot, Y'all"

um, i guess i forgot to say it. so merry christmas and stuff.

chrismas was pretty low key, just how i like it. spent the afternoon at my mom and dad's. ate some food, opened the presents then it was off to work. we weren't too busy at work that night...monday, however, sucked. no, really...it sucked hardcore. come to think of it so has the rest of the week. everyone has decided to see narnia all of a sudden. eh, no biggie though and we could use the business.

so is it just me or is the new greeting card text messages on the cell phones? i got a ton on christmas day, it was nutty. sorry if i didn't reply back to y'all, as you may know i have sprint and my sprint phone is NOT text friendly. i guess it is easier than mailing out cards and stuff.

i have no plans for new years eve, well..that's a lie actually i do. i'll be at work. normally i don't do anything for NYE anyway, but this year i have some relatives coming into town and it would have been fun to party...er, "party" with them. ah well.

i'll be heading out to michigan in a couple of weeks. i'm a little nervous, it's all becoming so real now. i guess i just need to be really positive about this and get the ball rolling.

tonight (hopefully) i'll be starting work on my new tattoo. i''m going to half sleeve out one arm (maybe sleeve) so i'll keep y'all posted on that. alrighty, gotta get to work.

hugs and kisses y'all!

"Shhhhhhhh..."

alrighty then...well it looks like school's all over for me. i'm all done and graduated. i got through all my exams (and trust me, one of them was a doozie) with sorta' flying colors. i could have done better on a couple of them but it's all good. now i just need to set up my exit interview and get my degree and i'm out the door.

i'm looking for cheap airfare to michigan so i can go out there in a couple of weeks and sort out a living situation and all that good stuff. my plan is to move at the end of march/beginning of april. but i think that things may be pushed back to end of april/beginning of may. i have something going on at the end of april, and it'll be cheaper from me to be in denver at that time instead of detroit. and...it'll give me another month to save up some money. i dunno' we'll see what happens, as of right now i'm just trying to get through the holidays.

so there's this resturant that i love. and i never ever go there because the people i know don't like to go there. well, i went there last week with my boss and mikey from work and i realized, that at anytime, i can go there and eat...whenever i want. i know, dumb, huh? granted i know i'll be alone, but hey it'll give me time to catch up on some reading and stuff. and if that doesn't work out, there's always "hottie bartender". (and those of you who know...KNOW what i'm talking about) mmmmm, i'm lovin' it. OH! i checked when i was there, and there's one in Utica, Michigan. HORRAAYY!

in other news, it's fucking cold. that's right, i said it. what the hell, first of all it's all warm in november, then POW! it's winter all of a sudden. and not just any winter, it's like a north pole sort of winter...whatever.

did i mention that i'm broke? well, i am. and it's really really sucks. i don't know what happened, it's like i checked my bank account one day and i'm flat on my ass broke. so it's looks like it's going to be christmas on a budget.

(...ok, i just took a little break from typing and was looking at the Bucca website, and now i'm hungry. and it's 1:30 in the morning and there's nothing i can do about it. that sucks.)

OH yeah! so is it just me, or is everything going out of business? two stores in our shopping center are going out of business and they're not small stores by any means. Media Play and Mervyns are leaving us. they're both having big ol' going out of business sales, which suck if you ask me. but i'm sorry, if i'm going to get shit on sale, i want it ON SALE...i'll just wait till everything drops to 75-90% off. damn i'm cheap...or ghetto...i dunno', you pick.

ok, i'm off to dream about yummy delicious italian food, served up by a half naked hottie bartender. yummy.

"We've Got Meeses In Our Peeces!"

um...yeah,ok.

so, um... in our neighborhood for the past 3 winters we've had this problem becuase of all the landscaping changes over at the golf course across the street...

mice.

yeah, i know! seems it's so bad 'round this time of year you can't find mouse traps at the grocery store by my house. our problem has been pretty much localized to under the dishwasher the past 2 years.

not this year.

they're everywhere! it's like a frickin' alfred hitchcock movie. and it's gross. my sister is having a nervous breakdown (again) because she equates mice with a "filthy" house. which we don't have. and if that was the case the whole neighborhood would be "filthy". AND....we figured out where they're coming from. we were getting the christmas stuff out of the storage area off the utility room in the basement. it's the only part of the basement that's not finished, my brother-in-law moved a box in the corner and there was this HUGE pile of dirt in the corner. DIRT!...DIRT!!! the little bastards came THROUGH THE CEMENT FOUNDATION OF OUR HOUSE!!!

can you believe it?! neither can we!

needless to say we're all really grossed out. i want to boil everything i own in bleach. EEEWW! we find a big box that has (had) some papers in it and they were all shredded up (lovely), and as were were moving the papers from the box to a garbage bag. 3 MICE START JUMPING ALL OVER THE BOX TRYING TO ESCAPE! AAAAAHGHGH! EEW EEEW EEEW EEEEW. my bro-in-law grabs a bbq fork from a box and just starts stabbing repeatedly into the box, skewering papers and mice like a fucking gladiator...

it was bloody, it was nasty...it was awsome!

ugh. traps have been set mice have been caught and disposed of, but....my story get's better...

last night, when i got home. maddie. my dog. caught a mouse in the laundry room! AAAGHGHGH ICK, ICK, ICK!! i know she killed it cause it was twitching when she put it down, but thank god she didn't break skin cause there was no blood. as grossed out as i was, i had to tell her she was a good girl and stuff...then she wanted to give me kisses....um, no, really. i wanted to figure out a way to rinse her mouth out with listeriene, but i don't think that would have been successful. oh gross!

looks like it's time to call an exterminator.

death toll to date = 9
