Everything went GREAT…………………..

The wedding was a great success. Everything went as planned. There were only one or two minor glitches. The first being that the candlestick holder things that the flowers shop sent over was in very bad shape. The wedding coordinator called the man and talked to him and he had another one sent over. The other glitch was that I forgot the ring. I did not forget get to buy it but rather forgot to bring it with me to the wedding. I had thought about it earlier so I had put it in my car to make sure I did not forget it. However, surprise I did not drive to the wedding so groom but no ring. This was bad because I did not discover this until everyone was lining up. I had to go find my keys and then find someone that could get their car out to take me to get it. After I got back, it was all smooth sailing. The bride was beautiful. The groom was handsome. The kids in the wedding did not do anything crazy other than the ring bearer pulling the ribbons off the pillow because he got a little bored during the ceremony. My mother was able to get them back on before the recessional. The cake was pretty. The reception went well. It was cold when we left the reception. It was a long day. We were planning to go a couple of hours down the road for a couple of days we were so tired that we made it around twenty minutes down the road and decided to call it a night. We got a suite with a Jacuzzi. We were planning to order a pizza around ten I turned the television on around 9:50 and decided to turn over until Law and Order Criminal Intent came on. I woke up around four the next morning. The bride was fast asleep I woke her up and asked her did she get the pizza she said no and told me to go ahead and order it. I guess she was a little more tired than I was.

The next time I post……..

The next time I post I will have done something. Some may I am walking the death march, some say that a player is falling, some say I am taking the plunge, some say I am putting on the old ball and chain, some say I am getting hitched, I say I am getting married. I am ready for this here wedding. The next time I type on this blog my left hand will be a little heavier. I hope to be back on Tuesday.

Violate- to fail to show proper respect for

It happens to everyone. It happens all the time. You know, when you have those days when everything seems to happen. It is the day when asked about your day you respond I have been (fill in the black) all day. Some days you have been spilling stuff on yourself all day. Some days you have been dealing with stupid people all day. Some days you have been violated all day. This was the case for me yesterday. It started at lunch and didn’t end until the day was over.

I was first violated at lunch. I went over to the hospital for lunch since I am trying to eat healthier these days. I of course had to go to the restroom something bad since I am trying to drink more water these days. I step in and the restroom is empty three toilets and two urinals. I step over to the urinal to do my thing and this guy comes in. Now these are not the urinals with the nice walls between them. These are the two urinals that are so close that you can change urinals in midstream and not wet the floor. Every man knows that it is a rule of the restroom that unless you are about to wet your pants and there isn’t another stall open that only one person can use these urinals at one time. So what does the guy do that come in the restroom a few seconds after me. He comes and starts using the urinal right beside me. He passed by three good working stalls to come over there and get all up in my space. If he didn’t know there wasn’t enough room there for two people he should have known after he bumped into me the second time trying to get his zipper down. So I hurry up and finish because he is all in my personal space. I gave a good shake at the end making sure to hit his suede shoes a little so the next time he will know not to get all up in someone else’s personal space in the restroom.
I was violated the second time between jobs. I went to the local convenience store to grab a diet coke since I am trying to cut down on my sugar intake these days. Went in got my diet coke and came back out the store. I always park on the side of the store because it is easy to get in out that way. I turn the corner of the store and what do I see. A dude for some reason decided it would be too much trouble to go into the store and use the restroom so he takes his azz on the side of the store and wets the wall right in front of my car. I guess he figured couldn’t anyone see is big ass standing in front of a two door cavalier from the street. He was wrong as all get out. I turn my head toward the street and the people at the stop sign are in their car shaking their heads. I guess they felt violated also. I wish the police would have come by and ticketed him. He could have walked another ten feet and used the bathroom. I didn’t want to see all of that.
The third time is a charm. The third and final violation of the day took the cake. I was at the second job training a lady when I started to notice a very distinct odor. At first I could not figure out what that smell was. Then it came to me. It was the smell of old shoes that had been worn without socks and had also been wet for an extended time. In other words I smelled her stinking azz feet. I am not talking about a faint odor when someone take their shoes off at the end of the day. This was a light odor at first but once she got to walking and her feet warmed up it smelled like hot garbage within a fifteen foot radius of her. I just could not take it. I would work with her for a few minutes and then go down to take a drink of diet coke to settle my stomach a little bit. It did not help much. I needed a real coke but could not have one since I am trying to cut back on my sugar intake these days. I was just through by the end of the night. I just wanted to go home and crawl in the bed and forget about that smell. Now she know good and dayum well she smelled them shoes before she put them on. It doesn’t make sense a grown person walking around with their feet smelling like that. I smelled it faintly in my nostrils on the way home. I could even eat dinner which wasn’t a bad thing since I am trying to cut back these days. I finally couldn’t take it anymore and decided to cut my nose hair in a final effort to get some peace of smell. It worked but if her feet are smelling like that tonight someone we have to call her in the office and have a nice little sit down with her about personal hygiene in the workplace. I think I will put a little cologne under my nose before I go in tonight.

A few things

Christmas

Christmas was great for the kids this year. This is the first year that didn’t get so much stuff as to where furniture had to be rearranged to get it in the apartment. My daughter said this was her best Christmas ever because she got everything she asked for. That is how I am going to shop from now on for Christmas, get them what they want, grab a few clothes and call it a day. They had lots of fun picking out what they wanted. I actually found a real use for my camera phone. I had them hold they toys that they wanted and I took a picture so that I could easily find them when I went back to the store. No more of that yeah dad I did want the bratz doll for Christmas but the one I showed you had on tan boots not red loafers. I like anything that makes Christmas shopping a little easier.
I am also officially ghetto now in that I have a big screen television in an apartment. Since I plan on buying a house in the next couple of years it isn’t that bad, I guess. I didn’t go out and buy a new one. My parents had an older model in the storage house out back that needed to be fixed. They bought one of those high tech ones a year or so ago. The color was messed up in the old one. Since they are building a new house my dad is cleaning out the storage. He decided to take it to the television shop to see what it would take to get it fixed. The price was right so I went on and had them do the dang thing. It shows a really pretty picture. It was kind of high end back in its day so the picture is better than some of the newer models that I see around. Of course it is big as old out doors a reminder of the old days when a big screen was also a piece of heavy furniture whose top could serve as a bookshelf, entertainment cabinet, and a trophy case. My fiancé said it best when she said “I don’t remember it being this big” my reply being “me either”. All in all though we are still happy with the decision to get it fixed.




New Years

New Years was pretty uneventful for me. I didn’t do anything worth writing about. I was planning my usual ceremony of drinking liquor and playing video games. Things didn’t go as planned though. I decided to grab a pizza after I dropped the kids off at Church (I know bad dad). I took it back to the spot and commenced to throwing down heavily. This left me with a stomach so full that the only liquor I managed to drink was one beer. I should have went with plan number two which was to go back home get dressed and come back to Church. This plan was sparked by the fact that I helped my mother unload her car when I dropped the kids off. To my delight my grandma had a cooked a big pot of fried potatoes. Man I love fried potatoes. I just knew that the kids would bring home dear old dad a steaming plate of breakfast home but they didn’t. There was only a couple of sausage and a piece of bacon in the container that I sent the sausage to Church in when I opened it up. The bad thing was that someone got hungry during the night or early in the a.m. and ate that. I suspect it was my son because the container was still in the frig when I woke up Saturday morning. My fiancé had to work New Years Eve so I brought in the New Year like I spent most of last year thinking and alone.




Withdrawals


I am going through withdrawals this week. My body is putting up a heck of a fight against my mind. I got some much needed work during my time off. Of course I have been working my tail off trying to get caught up this week. My mind is here but my body is still on the vacation schedule and refuses to get with the program. It is so bad that I actually took off yesterday morning so that I could sleep in late. Now my mind tells my body to get up and go to the bathroom at around 5:30 in the a.m. My body does not have a problem with this so after a little release it heads right back towards the bed for a couple more hours of rest and my mind has to remind it to start getting ready for work. My mind and body both agree around 1 p.m. that it is time for lunch. They though differ on what to do immediately afterwards. My minds says time to head back to work and finish the day while my body wants to go lay down and catch a nice nap. I hope that they can come to an agreement soon. This battle is starting take its toll.
