Dirty Underwear

So I had a busy day yesterday. I got up early and exercised. Went to my friend's graduation, and lunch. Went to our friends for dinner and off to the soap derby races. I brought a change of clothes for the pool and for the races. When I changed for the pool , I wrapped my underwear in my green skirt and put it in my bag. When I dressed for the races, I had on an exercise skirt that comes with pants. I forgot to bring a fresh pair of knickers so I went commando.

When I got home and went thru the bag this morning, I can't seem to find the skirt with the undies wrapped in them. I'm totally mortified that they'll be found at my friends...which they will be. Nothing like leaving your dirty skivvies around for others to find. Ah well..I knew ya'll needed a laugh on Mother's day, so here you go. Yes...Diz leaves dirty skivvies at her friends house!!!

On a great note, I heard from the boy today. He's feeling better and doing well. I miss him. It's always great to hear his voice and those feelings of joy and longing bubble up uncontrollably. He may irk me terribly, but he's a good boy and I love him so much it hurts.

Happy Mother's day to all of you Mom's. A special Happy Mother's Day to those Mom's who's babies are overseas fighting for our country, or stationed far away from home. Also to those Mom's who's babies have been taken by the Lord. No matter where your babies are, it is your day...and I know they are thinking of you and loving you with all of their hearts!

Retirement

We had a retirement potluck today at work. I gotta tell ya, I'm not due to retire for another 14 years (If I retire at 55) however, most of my closest friends are retiring within the next year, 2 years on the outside. I'm jealous as hell because I'll miss spending time with them. But I'm also jealous because I know they'll be doing fun things like going to tea, shopping and heading to Vegas for some fun.

I'm sure I'll be able to attend a few of those things, but I know I'll be missing out on the majority. I can hear it now..."Diz..we're headed to Vegas for a mid-week special. Can you go?" "No??? Too bad...SUCKER..I mean Diz."

And I'll be swearing under my breath..."Those no good dirtbag Beoches did that sh#t on purpose! @#$$%^$#^@^"

Ah well, they know I'll love them anyway, but that doesn't mean that envy won't cop a squat in my chest and make me writhe in jealousy, wasting away the last vestiges of goodness that I've managed to horde these past 43 years. Oh wait...I think I pissed the last of the goodness away when I wished bad mojo to the AntiChrist. Perhaps there's no hope...or help for me after all.

Butt Dragging

My tushie was dragging today. I did not want to be on the machine today, and neither did my fat legs. Ah well, I did it anyway. Today was just one of those days at work...Know what I mean? Just busy and working on budget stuff....SNORE! I had to juice the coffee big time.

Got reminded that tomorrow was potluck day at work, and I had to bring in bread. So..stopped at the store. I have to say, the upgrades they've made to my local Raley's is awesome. It's huge, and has hot foods, sushi, a coffee shoppe. I love it. Saves me from having to drive extra to Bel Air. The people are cool and friendly. It feels like part of the community. Love it!!!

I gotta PEE!!!

Today was busy!!! I managed to down a gallon of water today. But I gotta tell ya, I was in a meeting that lasted an hour and a half, and I had to pee so bad I was in serious pain. What up with that? I don't think I've had to pee that bad in years...possibly since the infamous Tahoe trip so many years back.

It's good that I'm drinking water, but sometimes I forget about that damned diuretic, and it reminds me at the worst time. Ah well. I practically sprinted to the restroom and every step was painful. Why didn't I just get up from the meeting and go? Because I was taking notes and was afraid I'd miss something. Ah well... it was funny.

Legal stuff....

So I consulted with the lawyers about the trailer issue. They were good common sense people. I have a clear direction to go and they consulted for free. How cool was that? You hear all the lawyer jokes and everything, but these people seemed to sense my desperation and it's comforting to know that I have options.

My mother is a different story. I've asked for a copy of the recent contract, and she can't seem to find it. She's so lacksidasical about her legal issues, contracts etc. She never thinks about consequences or the future. She leaves that to me to figure out. How much can you wish for a 60 year old woman to get it together. If she can't do it now, she never will and this is the future I have to look forward to. Instead of God giving me children (except the beloved Boy), he gave me family responsibility.

I asked my husband what I did in a past life to deserve this. Was I Hitler? I must've been a real bitch! Ah well, when I come back, I want to come back as one of my kitties! They are so damned spoiled, there isn't anything we don't give them. They have their treats, run of the house, self cleaning litter box, and our love, of course... If you ask them, we probably don't give them enough..typical cats. Enough of my whining...I don't have cheese to go with it.

I'm doing ok, and with a little luck, I'll be doing better.

Naughty Day

Started out great. Did the 3 mile hill walk, came back and got ready to take my buddy Chris out for her birthday. She picked Olive Garden for Lunch. Fortunately for me, I hadn't eaten breakfast...and after that lunch...didn't eat dinner either. I was stuffed! We had the garden salad...awesome, I ate one breadstick, we had stuffed mushrooms, I drank a glass of wine and had the 5-cheese ravioli...in the words of Rachel Ray..."Yummo". I was loaded down.

We headed to Wild Bills and my buddy got her navel pierced. Then headed to the mall and did some shopping. All the exercise clothes & my favorite Avia shoes was on sale...and I desperately needed exercise clothes, so I bought them. It will be so cool to exercise in actual workout clothes instead of the pants and old cotton leotards that I have.

It was great seeing the kids again and Papa Mark is in rare form...as always. Hope your back feels better Mark. Had a great time with my buddy, and it was a fantastic day.

Collective Soul BooBoo

Ok, so I'm a member of the "Collective Souls"...yea, I know....I'm a freaking Geek, but I love them so. And they released tickets to their fan club members. I thought I had locked in front row seats, but I stupidly opened another web window to see if the condo was available, and when I confirmed the tickets, I confirmed the 9th row...not first.

OMG...what a DUMBASS!!! I so felt like crap because I got tickets for our friends too, and it comes out to $180 per couple. I called her and told her they were going for free and that I was really sorry about the whole thing. I was ready for her to kill me, but instead we end up fighting over them paying...I said no, she said shut up, we're paying...blah blah blah.

Next time, the man is standing behind my sorry ass to make sure I have the right tickets before I confirm. I just feel really rotten about it. Our friends are totally KEWL. We hung out in Cancun together in February. Ah well...I just knew I couldn't sleep until I confessed. Sorry Dean and Ed. Don't worry...one day we will be front and center!
