And YOU Thought Wheaton Was Backwoods!

Today, I was begining my 40 minute drive home when my "low feul" light came on. Ding ding ding! and I was about 10 miles away from the next exit, of which I would then have to turn around and go back to my office where there is a gas station near. Or-I could just charge on, and hope that one of the towns I pass on my way home have a gas station. (Even though they don't look like much from the highway. There's got to be more to what I see right?)

Driving into town A, I seriously thought I was driving into a Stephen King novel where I'm going to get kidnapped and murdered if I get out of my car. The houses were all very pretty. All 20 of them. The streets were all gravel, and the one I turned down to take me to "main street" took me to a road that was wide open to a field with one building there. Two guys without shirts on were working on a new piece of construction right next to the building that had the "Gas" sign. And next to a lonely old pump was another sign that said, "pay inside". That sign was pointing to a side door on the old building that would have taken me out of the view of the only two people I saw in the town. I kept driving.

I'm seriously on E now and I come into town B. Sign says, "Historic Fort Ambercrombie 1 Mile". So I figure, historic site, there has to be a gas station near there! So I drive up their "main street" and find a body shop with two pumps. Old fashioned style. It's at this point that I realize this place isn't going to take credit cards, and I carry no cash with me. I also have no checks. Luckily, for some fateful reason, I had a five dollar bill in my wallet. So I filled up with my 1.3 gallons of gas, and headed on my way home. Luckily I have three credit card taking gas stations right next to my house, and bonus score! Gas prices are down to $3.69!

Lovely Dreams

I have had this dream twice this week.  I think I might have problems.

 

I dream that I'm in a meeting or somewhere public and I pick my nose.  But instead of just a booger coming out, it keeps coming.  Like when magicians pull that stupid scarf out of their pocket and it keeps coming and coming and coming.  That's my booger.

 

What's up with that?????

Yadda yadda yadda. One hundred dollars later, I have the perfect outfit to drown my child at church for God in.

Totally worth it though. She's gonna be so cute!!

Slipcovers. Are they worth it?

I have two ugly couches that will be in my nice new house. (House is 34 years old, but new to me). I realized the other day (light-bulb moment) that instead of paying a bazillion dollars to have the one with the hide-away bed in it reupholstered, I could buy a slipcover.

The thing is, they are almost $100 for one that looks alright to me. Are they worth this much money? I normally wouldn't care and buy it anyway to find out myself, but since I'm still recovering from a full pay period without a paycheck, I can't really afford a bad purchase hassle right now. I need something that will work, and that will work before my oldest friend shows up at my house in a couple weeks with her family. They can't see how ugly this couch is, let alone sit on it the way it is. It's just embarrassing.

UPS SUCKS!

I mailed a package to my mom and dad via UPS on May 14th. (You may recall me bitching about it here.) Well, they can't find my package so I'm getting my money back. However, it still sucks because one of the things I mailed was somewhat one of a kind. So now I have to figure out what to do for that gift. The people that work at the UPS store are inept too. No wonder my package is lost if that's what they hire for their stores.

No matter though. I inflated the prices I paid for the stuff some, so that should ease my suffering from having to shop all over again. All in all, I should be getting about $120 back. My stuff, plus their packaging and shipping fees. Crappy UPS. I won't be using them again. I suggest you follow my lead.

In other notes: Things are still biting me in my sleep. The air conditioning is fixed! And I didn't have to pay for it! woo hoo! And, the best news of all! I got my car back on Monday! It's so exciting! It feels so weird to drive it too. The steering wheel is so much more comfortable in my car, and I really missed my cup holders. I also missed the "no smell" in my car. The celebrity smells like moth balls.... Ahhh... yes, it's the little things that make me happy.

Creepy Emails

One of the websites I manage has a feature to email the page to a friend. On occassion we have someone reply to the email and it comes back to us instead of to the intended recipient.
This one came in while I was on maternity leave, and it's super creepy. So much so, I had to share it with you.

OK. So far, not too creepy, except for the weird way she/he talks to him/her. Here's where it gets weird.

Anyone else find this creepy????? I bolded the funniest creepiest parts for your amusement.

Too Cute?

At first I thought this was totally cute.

Until I went and "expressed some milk"   ( AKA juiced myself. ) 

Then I realized that was what my poor suctioned nip looked like.  :o(  Nope, nothing sexy about pregnancy or being a mom.
