I’ve Just Made the Biggest Decision of My Life… SHIT.

Me: So??? What do you think?

Tif:… Shit.

Me: I know, but I’ve decided this is what I really want to do.

Tif:.. wow… I mean… wow

Me: Listen this took a lot of thought and I’m gonna be honest, it’s been on my mind for sometime now.

Tif: But I had no clue! You always seemed so happy about it.

Me: I am, well, was.  But I think it’s because I’ve just gotten used to it and change is scary, but that’s no reason to stick with something that doesn’t make you happy anymore.

Tif: wow… so you’re really gonna do it huh?

Me: Ya, ya I’m gonna do it.

Tif: Have you told Hubby yet, how did he take it?

Me: Well he was pretty upset of course, but we talked about it the whole night and I think he’s beginning to understand it’s for the best.

Tif: So when are you doing it?

Me: I think it’s best to just do it quick, get it over with, I’m thinking tonight.

Tif: wow

Me: I know but like I said it’s for the best.

Tif: … It’s just gonna be so weird seeing you with short hair.

Me: I KNOW, RIGHT!?!?

Tif: I mean it’s always been long that’s the way I know you!

Me: But it’s become such a pain, and I can’t do anything with it cause it’s just too long, and it doesn’t hold a curl anymore, and I’m always eating it because it’s constantly flying in my mouth or sticking to my lipgloss, and my head is always hot, I mean really feel it, like a freaking oven and lately I wake up at night and it’s wrapped around my neck trying to choke the life out of me!!

Tif:… well those are all good reasons, but wow short.

Me: I know, I’m thinking about bangs too!

Tif: Really? I mean, even the 80’s couldn’t pull those off.

Me: I’m feeling pretty optimistic.

Our New Hammock Almost Castrated Hubby

I would like to start this post, as I’ve started several before, by stating IT WASN’T MY FAULT!  I mean how was I to know that CIA Cat would have such a conniption fit about being tossed on the new hammock with hubby?! 

Hubby: I have a surprise for you!

Me: Yay! What is it?

Hubby: Gotta guess.

Me: Ok, nevermind.

Hubby: Come On! I’ll give you a hint.  You were talking about this last week and said you really wanted it and it would make you so happy.

Me: SHUT UP!

Hubby: RIGHT!?!

Me: We’re going to Hawaii!!??!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY

Hubby: Ya… Oh no wait NO, NO, NO, I got you a hammock.

Me: … a hamwhat?

Hubby: Remember, you said all you wanted was to lay on a hammock in the sun and just relax.

Me: IN HAWAII!

Hubby: Listen do you want the hammock or not.

Me: *mumbling*  I want the hammock.

Hubby: Ok come out on the deck, I already set it up.

Me: … It’s kinda small.

Hubby: Ya so’s our deck. Lay on it, try it out.

Me:  I don’t think it will hold me.

Hubby: Sure it will, here I’ll get on it first.  See no problem, hey this is pretty sweet. 

Me: Look CIA Cat daddy got me a hammock.  Ahh look honey she wants to try it out, here ya go upsy daisy.

Hubby: I don’t think that’s a good ideeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyaaaaa.

Me:  STOP SWINGING! IT’S FREAKING HER OUT!!

Hubby: IT’S A HAMMOCK THAT’S WHAT IT DOES!! GET HER OFF, GET HER OFF!!!

Me: I CAN’T!  HER CLAWS STUCK ON SOMETHING!!

Hubby: STOP PULLING , STOP PULLING!!

Me: STOP SHOUTING, YOU’RE FREAKING ME OUT!… There she’s free.  Poor baby are you okay? Was that traumatic for you?

Hubby: YES! There may be serious damage done… you’re talking to the cat aren’t you?

Me: Well honey I feel bad I just tossed her in like that, so can I try out the hammock now?

Hubby: No, you’ve lost hammock privileges.

Me: AH COME ON!! For how long?

Hubby: Until I completely heal and you apologize.

Me:… I’m never gonna get to use the hammock am I?

Hubby: Outlooks not so good.

That's not Hubby, but you're welcome.

Just Call Me Fat Fat Fatty McFatten

Me: I’m Fat

Hubby: No you’re not, you’re gorgeous.

Me: Oh honey that’s sweet, but you don’t know the truth.

Hubby:  Babe you’re perfect, you don’t need to lose a pound… what truth?

Me: *sigh* Alright I didn’t want to have to do this to you… to us, but I need you to be on board with the fact that I’m a big ole fatty mcfatten and you need to support my efforts to lose… THIS!

Hubby: … what is that?

Me: That is my tubby tummy.

Hubby: … It looks like you swallowed a watermelon, you’re just pushing that out.

Me: Nope, I’m just not sucking it in anymore.

Hubby: You suck it in around me? We’ve been together for 15 years.  There’s no way you’ve been sucking it in for that long.

Me:  Sorry honey, but it’s time for total honesty in our marriage.

Hubby: How long have you had that?

Me: Since the beginning babe, since the beginning. But I have to admit it’s gotten a little bigger lately.

Hubby: a little!? It’s like they based Buddha off of you.

Me: OK, now you’re just being hurtful.

Hubby: Well I’m sorry you just sprung this on me, literally.

Me: I did this so you would agree I need to lose weight and encourage me!

Hubby: Ya sure whatever you need I’m there for you, maybe we should go to a doctor to have you checked out.

Me: Wow… really?  Do you think we should?

Hubby: I want it x-rayed, we shouldn’t rule out the fact you could have a watermelon growing in there.

Me: … you’re an ass.

Hubby: NO Seriously! Remember that guy we saw on TV who sniffed in a seed and a tree started growing in his lungs! That could be you, except a watermelon in your belly!

Me: I’m going for a run, by the time I get back you should have flowers waiting for me … and something sparkly.

I got a bad feeling this is gonna be in my Christmas stocking

I’ll be there on your judgement day

SOME BASTARD STOLE MY FOG LIGHT GRILLE COVERS!

So what you say? Why the fuss? No big deal.

IT IS A FREAKING BIG DEAL!!  And I believe that where ever that BASTARD is he has NO idea how much he’s FRACKED with my life BECAUSE OF IT!!  

Easy Mona, easy… take a breath… count to three… ok.

IF THERE IS ANY JUSTICE IN THIS FREAKING WORLD!! I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE THERE WHEN THAT BASTARD IS STANDING OUTSIDE THE PEARLY GATES ON HIS JUDGEMENT DAY!!!

Not so fast.

Here’s how it will play out:

Bastard: *gulp* gosh God, I’ll admit I haven’t lived the straightest life but I hope I make it in to heaven.

God: Well, let’s see… ah yes I believe there is someone here who can shed some light on your past deeds.

Me: Hello Bastard.

Bastard: … I’m sorry I don’t recognize you.

Me: No? Oh well maybe try imagining me as a 2003 Black Audi, how about now? Ringing any bells? Now try imagining me missing my front fog light grille covers.  HOW ABOUT NOW?? RECOGNIZE ME NOW!!???

Bastard: oh… oh ya sorry about that, but stealing some grille covers that’s not so bad, right God? I mean that doesn’t send you to hell?!

God: Well I…

Me: WAIT! I’m not done.

God: Ah… please continue.

Me: Thank you God.  Do you know how much it cost to replace those covers? $210!! The left one is $85 and for some unknown freaking reason the right one is $125.  Why is the right one more expensive?! They are the exact same cover!! God when that Audi dealership owner comes here I’d like you to ask him that question and if he doesn’t give a good answer, I mean a REALLY good answer, Don’t Let Him In!

God: Done.

Bastard:  um I’m really sorry about that, can I write you a check?

Me:  Oh I’m not done.  So as I’m considering what to do, my check engine light goes on… and ya know what the problem is? One of my front air sensory thingies has blown on my engine and guess what caused it? SOME ONE FUCKING WITH THE FRONT OF MY CAR WHILE RIPPING OUT MY COVERS!!! … oops sorry about the swearing God.

God: Quite alright, please continue.

Me: Thank you; you really are a very forgiving man. 

God: Well I try.

Me: So I go back to the Audi dealership and it will cost me $260 for the part and $680 for the service….$940 total plus the $210 for the covers, that’s $1,150 to fix what YOU’VE DONE!!

Bastard: oh… well I’ve only got about $950 in the bank… but how do you like this watch? It’s nice right!? I’m pretty sure it’s real, the guy I stole it from looked well off.  That should cover the rest right? So we’re good right?

Me:… I’m… not… done… SO Hubby and I decide that we’re going to try to fix the sensory thing ourselves and we find the part at Napa for $120.  See God, again Audi dude overcharged for parts by double!!

God: Ya, that’s not cool.

Me: Now the only problem is we’re supposed to leave for a car trip to see my family the next day for the 4th of July weekend, plus it’s my mom’s birthday, PLUS my niece and nephew will be there and I haven’t seen them since Christmas!!  Poor Hubby is pretty certain he can fix it by then… but guess what? It ends up taking a day and a half for us to fix it since this part is absolutely impossible to reach and EVERYTHING has to be taken out of the engine to get to it!!! SO I MISS EVERYTHING!! Seeing my parents, celebrating my mother’s birthday, and seeing my niece and nephew!!

God: aawww that’s too bad.

Me: Thank you God, yes it was too bad and I’m still a little upset about it.

God: Well I can see why, I mean you haven’t seen your niece and nephew for almost 6 months and your mother’s birthday! Well that’s just harsh.

Me: Yes, yes it is.

Bastard: But, but all that stuffs not my fault!! I only took a couple grilles!! You can’t blame me for ALL of that!!

God: I don’t know, your actions did start it.  I’ll leave it up to you Mona.  Here’s the lever, push it forward and he goes to heaven, pull it back and he … well he doesn’t.

Bastard: AH COME ON!! IT WAS JUST SOME GRILLES!!!

Me: Well I don’t know God… I mean I’m pretty pissed and he did make me miss my mother’s birthday… but isn’t one of your rules about vengeance being a bad thing? I wouldn’t want to do anything to get on your bad side.

God: Well as far as sins go, I’m pretty loosey goosey on that one.

Me: Oh Ok! Bye Bye Bastard!

Bastard: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Me: Huh, I thought doing that would make me feel better.

God: And?

Me:… IT TOTALLY DID!!! Well thanks God see ya later.

God: Ya in about 2 weeks.

Me: OH MY YOU!! Do I die in 2 weeks?!?

God: No your neighbor with the booming base does, I thought you might want to be here to say a few words.

Me: Sweet.

CIA Cat Totally Played Me!

Once again CIA Cat has made me her bitch. I think my little Jedi mind trick pissed her off and she hatched up this sneaky ass scheme to get me back!

It started a couple of weeks ago. I began noticing that CIA Cat was having difficulty getting up and down from the couch and bed. She would do this hesitant jump, land awkwardly, and then kinda make this sqweek noise and slowly limp away. I was, ofcourse, concerned because I’m a good and kind pet person… Shut up I am!

So because I’m a good and kind pet person I started helping her. If it looked like she wanted up, I would pick her up and put her on the bed or couch. If it looked like she wanted down I would lift her down. After a while she was getting pretty use to this and began meowing at me when ever she needed me to move her. I felt like CIA Cat and I had finally reached a mutual understanding of trust and dare I say love.

One night I came into the living room to see her sitting on the floor looking at Hubby on the couch, she looked over at me and gave an extremely pathetic meow.

Me: ah honey can’t you see she needs help up? Poor baby.

Hubby: What are you talking about?

Me: She can’t get up and down on her own anymore *whispering* she’s getting too O.L.D.

Hubby: Babe you’re high, she was just on the couch but hopped down when she heard you coming and didn’t have any problem doing it.

I looked at Hubby, down to CIA Cat and back to Hubby (who now had a very annoying smirk on his face), and back down to CIA Cat who had a matching smirk on her face.

Me: I hate you both.

Hubby laughed and CIA cat jumped up on the couch without any trouble and mooned me, causing Hubby to laugh harder.

Me: I really hate you both.

Late Night IMing… Mom please don’t read this post

And that’s why I can never go back to that Starbucks

I love my Starbucks.  It’s right across the street from work.  They all know my name and great me when I visit.  And they know my drink by heart and give me extra flavoring cause I believe they truly love me and want me to be happy.  But after this morning I can never go there again and I’m not gonna lie, I blame this blog.

It happened innocently enough with Tif and I walking over to Starbucks like always, each with our personal cups.  I had my cup tucked under my arm to free up my hands so I could jot down notes on a pad of paper for my next blog, ‘I’ll Be There On Your Judgement Day’.  You should keep your eyes out for it, it’s gonna be good.

Me: So there’s this one part, when I’m talking to God, that I’m gonna say “Oh My You!”… get it?… cause I would normally say “Oh My God!”, but because I’m talking to God I replaced it with you… Get it? Funny right!?!

Tif: Ya I got it, you’re very funny and oh so clever.

Me: Hey! I don’t like your tone.

Chipper Starbucks Girl: Morning Mona, Morning Tif!

Me & Tif: HEY YOU!

(we kinda feel bad about not remembering all their names like they remember ours, but we’ve made up for it by using the following thoughtful endearments: You, Hone, Sweety, Darling, Mister Man, Funny Bunny, Serious Face, Extra Shot Guy, Big Hair Dude. We got a little lazy towards the end.)

Chipper Starbucks Girl: Start your usual for you Mona?

Me: Yes Please Sweety!

I then attempted to get the lid off my cup and hand the base to her, but I couldn’t while still holding my notepad.  So I shoved the pad in my mouth, unscrewed the top and handed the cup to her. BUT while pulling the pad out of my mouth I saw a small white object sail through the air and land on the counter between us… my gum.

My gum laid there between me and now Not So Chipper Starbucks Girl.  We both looked down at it, then up at each other.  Without breaking eye contact I slowly reached out my hand, palmed my gum, and brought my arm back to my side.

Me: *whispering with shame* I’m so so very sorry.

Overly Chipper Starbucks Girl: What?! I didn’t see anything!

Me: Oh thank you.

Tif: But I did.

Me: Oh Crap.

How Jazz Hands Won Us The Game!

It’s happened people! It’s finally happened!! My softball team the Mother Sluggers has FINALLY won a game (that didn’t include a forfeit).

Now it was all very exciting and I could give you an excruciating detailed description of all the amazing plays that caused this to happen, including my pop fly catch that did NOT give me a black eye… this time.

But instead I’m just going to replay one main event that happened, because it was so horrifying and beautiful at the same time it must be shared with the world.

It was our final turn hitting, we had 2 outs and the game was tied 8-8. A line drive was hit down the center. John, who had been on first, booked it for second base; I mean really booked it, almost flying.

He makes it to second, but the speed he was going sent him flying past the base and out towards center field, momentum’s a bitch. In the dugout we’re screaming at him to get back to second. He finally manages to stop, turn around, and run back to second where the second base girl is holding the ball causing him to stop just out of her arms reach.

This is the following commentary from the dugout as we watched the awesome/awful craziness that proceeded.

“oh crap on a stick, he’s out!”

“no no he’s not, she has to tag him!”

“what’s he doing?”

“… is that jazz hands?”

“um ya, he is definitely doing jazz hands”

“how many beers has he had?”

“she is totally confused”

“wouldn’t you be?”

 “Oh my god what’s he doing now?”

“It’s kind of a mix between a trained monkey jig and a dancing circus bear”

“with jazz hands”

(Suddenly John falls to his knees and dives between second base girl’s legs slapping his hand on the base while she plants her glove on his butt.)

 “Ha, good try! Ok everyone grab your mitts, let’s try to hold the tie.”

“Wait something’s going on.”

“um you guys, what’s the ref doing?”

“his arms are out”

“HOLY SHIT HIS ARMS ARE OUT!”

“I don’t know what that means”

“SAFE!!”

“you are shitting me”

“unfreaking believable”

“ya all realize John just went from being shamed for eternity with the name Jazz Hands John to becoming MVP?”

“does anyone else find him strangely attractive right now?”

“sssoooooo just me then”
