A post with a lot of parenthesis and dot dot dots

We moved our office this weekend! Hooray!
The landlady turned psycho (oh wait, was psycho, is psycho, and always will be) and then gave us a 14 day eviction notice. Which caused great rejoicing, because we were trying to think of a way to leave without giving offense (which was really impossible seeing as she’d have taken offense at anything. Its something she enjoys… Hopefully those genes passed me….)
So day 3 in new location- (I have the entire front of the office as my domain, maybe I’ll take pics…)
No anxiety knots in my stomach. How nice, yes?
And we can warm up our food in the microwave! and no one freaks out because the smell of honest to goodness food gives them MIGRAINES. (*fast food does not count. That does not stinki*) I mean, I get migraines but you gotta eat more than french fries and hamburgers. Did you know that baked potatoes stink? It was news to me too….
Life in the fast lane

I’m looking back at the past year and wondering at my choices. WHAT was I thinking? I mean, why did I date those guys? Why did I do the things I did?
Intellectuality, I know the answer, I was lonely, I was scared. I thought I was making good choices. But in many ways, all I have are a bunch of “ewww” memories…
Why family sucks
Posted by nothingwitty in Family on May 8, 2007
My father’s side is massively dysfunctional….
And then one of them hints that my bf’s family is not really as neat and nice as they seem… Well, its just jealousy speaking, having worked for said bf’s Mom for over a year… I know her pretty damn well. I’ve gone camping with them, I’ve fallen asleep at their house, I’ve gone to parties and restaurants, and cried and laughed. And how many families would be happy their son is dating a single mom who’s been married twice???? Not too many. But they love me, and invite me all the places they go as a family, and they are so good to Emma.
So to my family who can’t comprehend a family who is nice to each other and is kind? Piss off.

What I want to know is why no one ever bought me a nose job, or a boob job. I was just reading an article on MSN about teens getting cosmetic surgery, and I’m thinking, “hey, what about me???”
I’m basically okay with myself, however….
I need to learn to not spend so much money! Ugh! There have just been so many unexpected things to come up…
Its Monday. I loathe them. I’d rather give someone a kidney than have Mondays.
If I wasn’t trying to be thinner, I’d drink lots of margarita’s.
Sad things
Posted by nothingwitty in Uncategorized on May 4, 2007
dead flowers
changing you cell phone so that your father and ex boyfriends can no longer call you
earthworms that die when it rains
melted snowmen
graffiti
family that doesn’t even try to understand you
finding out someone isn’t really your friend
ulterior motives
gifts that make you uncomfortable and trap you
3 year olds are people too…

“You have to be nice to me!” she repeatedly tells me, usually when I am telling her to put her shoes on, or other such things, like, I don’t know, don’t run in front of the car in the parking lot, because it would squash you flat.
Because mom’s job is not to protect, nurture and the like, no… its provide nothing but fun. And cookies. For breakfast! Which I did let her have this morning, but only one, and I wanted one too. So that makes cookies for breakfast alright, in my thinking. She came and found me this morning, waking up at 7, instead of me waking her at 7:30. I was sitting drinking my coffee, wishing that it was warm outside, so I could drink it out there. She doesn’t like it when I am not in my bed when she wakes up. It means she must come and find me.
I thought she was the neatest thing the first time I ever saw her, which would be me, 10 weeks pregnant, looking at the black and white screen at the Dr’s office. Yup. My little alien teddy bear. You could have told me that she would only get neater as she’s grown older… The things you know intellectually but must experience to truly learn. Lord she’s neat. And so so smart 
I love my little girl. She is three, and as difficult as they come, but a wonderful three. She is so so sweet. Which of course brings me to Brian…
He is so good to us and for us. And its been wonderful to watch him open up, and see his face light up when she hugs him. He’s off fishing this weekend, and we’re already missing him.
In other news, my mom is coming home from Oregon this weekend. I doubt I’ll get to see her again until she gets back from Peru in August, so it will be fun for Emma to get to spend a little time with her.
things you shouldn’t try to claim on your taxes

We had clients who came in and told us how to do our jobs. It was quite hilarious.
Which is why I’m going to be practicing brain surgery tomorrow. Becuase we all know its easy, right?
*According to several clients, there is an automatic $500 charitable contribution. AND no limits. They get quite grumpy when we tell them NO SUCH THING!
*Talking on your cell phone with clients while driving does not make those miles business miles. And talking on the phone the entire flight cross country flight to your business contacts does not make the 3000 miles you traveled deductible, either.
OH, and you know what? That trip to Italy you took with your friends (also clients) you sold a house to? Doesn’t count.
*We were assured by one client that if you are self employed and you buy food during the day at a gas station that he could write it off. A company who does tax returns was giving him 1200 credit for that…right…. ***
***That would mean that the federal government was paying for my chocolate habit. How bout it G-W?*

The flash drive won’t work. Doesn’t really bother me, it isn’t mine. But we’ve plugged the sucker into all of our computers, and its not working. So now we will sit for 10 minutes, to ponder what we should do with it. Because it really doesn’t work.
Actually, we are just enjoying the peace and quiet after tax season. I think the phone has rung twice this afternoon. Its nice to be able to sit and not rush about at a frantic pace.
Then J and I planted flowers. I love J. If I ever get married again, I’m asking her to be my maid of honor. We sat and talked about the funny shaped seeds, until M told us we were probably stunting the flowers’ growth by telling them that.
Doing payroll for an ex marine. Used to guard US Consulates, or some other such things… Not who I would want guarding my embassy, but then again I have high standards, and he can barely speak English as it is. Not the best of representatives for the good ol US of A. Shudder.
I’m still in the after lunch take a nap mode. I just can’t seem to wake up. Shall perhaps lay my head down…
I needed a title

And some of the objects on my desk worked well enough.
Its not actually a penny, its a quarter- a California one, to be exact.
The pen is a uniball vision elite- it writes in blue and is in fact blue and silver.
The burnt out light bulb is a philips natural light 75 watt. I have no idea how it came to be on my desk.
I’m tired. I’m not telling anyone about this blog. If they find it, so be it.
