i made it! was an uber easy flight, and dummy didn't pass me ONCE. we got home, where i was maul---errrr LOVED HEAVILY on by all 3 of ma babies. rayce tried his hardest to keep the other two pups away from me ("that's MY mommy!" but both charlie and cassie remembered me and love me still!

we went to the store for dinner, steak and potatoes...mmmmmmmm, and of course beer. apparently iz impossible to find natty ice in missouri. so i'll have to settle for mickeys bullets and red stripe. *grins* vacation is GOOOOOODDDDDD.

after a lil errrr love session, i got some much needed sleep. other than the cat naps on the airplane, that's the first bit of sleep i got since yesterday night. woke up wif a raging headache and starvinggggg...dum's cookin now.

seeing as how most all airports have wi-fi....i think i'm gonna pull the time tested n true practice of pervin ya'll while i'm waiting @ the airport hehehehehehehe.....

got ma taxes done today. kinda cool.. i gots a debit card from them that they'll load ma refund on. yes. it do cost a bit more, but the ease...and getting the $$ in time for this trip are worth it.

i'm starting a contest...

ju made me think of it. i bought LUGGAGE (with WHEELS) today! how very adult and responsible of me. ANNNNND i even bested ma urge to buy the $50 set over the $30 set. they're both the same in quality...but the $50 one was hot pink.... *shrugs* i don't care enough to spend the extra $20 bucks for a color.

ANYWAY....was tellin ju bout it, and she calls them "pet luggage" as you drag them along wif you...well...pets need names. so i need ya'll to name them



contest ends a week from today...monday. winner wins...hrmmmmm....i dunno. yer choice, a dirty pic just for you, or a "krick n dum" pic as per direction and it DON'T have to be durdddy!!! i think that works

The Obedient Wife

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.'

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him. Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to h er. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said,

'Wait just a moment!'
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said,

'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.'

The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him..'
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?'
'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'

heh...was a ride...

for ONCE in forever, had a full crew. was awesome. i run around doing all the bullshit we haven't been able to do all day, including paperwork, as i've neglected THAT aspect of the business for 'bout 3 days.
one funny fing.... ma baker was rolling out dough to make pumpernickel football bread. the strip was supposed to be 6.5 inches by 3.75 inches. i was on the other side of the bakers bench, he had grabbed a ruler to make sure he'd gotten all the measurements right. he looks up at me, looks down at the dough and the ruler, looks back at me, looks back at his work...and deadpanned...."i guess i really AM bigger than 6inches" LMFAOOO....what he thought was 6...was almost 10...somewhat unprofessional....but had me crying....

then...i'd borrowed some help from another store. she comes in..and is OMG hot....she's lez and in a committed relationship, but awful pretty to look at anyway....she'd been workin for 'bout 1/2 hour before i noticed she was slipping and sliding all over the place. ffs....she's wearing high heeled dress shoes. perfect for her "before work" outfit, but not so good on a floor made slick wif bread crumbs and corn meal. she actually lives about as far from the store as i do..so she can't go home to get her work shoes. ('parrently...she was running errands, and lost track of time. didn't have enough time to get home and get her shoes before she had to be there.) i couldn't let her work that way.... not only dangerous...but OMG, heels on OUR floor? they'd kill her! so....i asked her what shoe size she was, which was mine. and asked her if she had any weirdness 'bout wearing other people's stuff. she don't. this was about 2pm. i decide i'll let her wear ma shoes after i leave. until then..bout 3pm she comes to me and asks if it's okee if she takes her shoes off. legally, and professionally, i tell her she can't walk around the bakery in socks. but her pants are bell-bottomed, and ya can't see her feet anyway. and i say yea. finish all ma paperwork, and bring her outside wif me.. we get into a loooooong discussion 'bout tattoos..(she saw ma scorp, when i gave her ma shoes n took ma socks off) and she promised to work whenever she was off. she leaves town in two weeks, and needs all the cash she can get.

*sigh* she sure was purdy tho* and yes, i'll get ma shoes back in the morning.....lol... how many bosses would do THAT??

well..ya'll know ma closer was in a car accident. and she's doing quite well. still beat up, so still out. so now guessssss who's closing?!?!?!???????? lol. yep. tho prolly it's a good thing. get home late, stay up drinking, wake up late and go right to work. little to no time at home looking at the walls. remembering silly things like how his laugh echo's when he's in the shop, or how rayce would run full tilt and leap into my lap even if i'd only been gone 15 minutes. or how i'd find both of them passed out on (or off, if it was dummy) the couch, and how they'd both wake up and come to give me kisses. tho dum didn't usually jump up on me n sniff ma vajay-jay)

he's at one of his regular haunts tonight. i got drunken calls from not one, not two, but THREE of the wonderful friends i have up there. everyone was ecstatic to see dum, but wanted to know, as one of them said," WHY the FUCK aren't YOU here?!?!?" dum told them the "secret" and everyone was either A. very supportive or B. saying "told ya so" and exchanging money cuz they won or lost the bet....lmfaoooooooooo

i took the trash out this mornin. first time since dum got here over 9 months ago. also loaded the dishwasher and got ma work clothes together. ffs.... if i didn't miss him for his presence in ma life, his hugs and kisses and....errrrmmm...heh... if i didn't miss him for the special dinners everynight...if i didn't miss him for any of that....i'd sure as hell miss him for the damn trash =P LMFAOOOOOOOOoooOOOo..

in other news, had to change ma vacation. got a huge bakery meeting to attend on the 24th, and i can't miss it, tho it sucks cuz i know i'm NOT gonna be there after april. sooOOoo...i'll be showing up in stl on the 14th. HAHAHAHAHA...and dum thought he was getting out of ANOTHER valentines day!!! hahahahaahhahahahahahahh!!!!!

better....

thanks to several beers and everyone in chat. still hurts, but i only cry when i hang up the phone now. he should be pulling into his driveway in about 3 hours or so, then i can truly relax.

until then, keeping ma candles burning and my thoughts with him and rayce, as they go forth into the dark night.

again... but not forever. last night hurt more than this morning. i guess i'm about all cried out really. still tear up when i think too much about how he's not going to come walking in the back door wif one of his guns, or hearing the bangs and taps coming from the shop. the house is dead quiet again, even with the t.v. blaring. rayce isn't outside digging craters in the driveway, or barking at my cats.

i'm going to fly up in feb. prolly the end of the month. so that's something to look forward to. and he should be back online in a few days, so there's something else. i was planning on waiting till summer was over to give my notice. figuring on august or so. i don't think i can wait that long. it was easy to hem n haw about moving up there when he was still here... but now he's gone...i can't imagine waiting that long to be with him full time again.

and no. he didn't ask me. he will though. he wants it to be perfect. and i'm in no rush. i know he loves me with all his heart. and he knows i love him more than anything. we both have cried about this separation enough. i'm just hoping i can hold it together long enough for us to be together permanently.
