February blows

For the first time in a long time I'm not looking forward to my birthday.  It's going to be weird without my family and friends to celebrate with me.  I keep reminding myself that just because it's going to be different doesn't mean that it's going to be bad.  It'll be a chance to hang out with some of the new friends that we've made here.  But I can't help wanting to see familiar faces especially when winter has a way of making me feel so isolated.  At least Moose will be able to make it to the beer festival.  It'll be nice to have a little bit of home with me as winter overstays its welcome.

On a more positive note, I love my job.

Hey Peef.  We're coming to visit next weekend. This is your only warning so I hope you still read my blog.

About three times a day I remind Potato how excited I am about getting a dog. One month to go and I'll be a puppy mama.

Catman update

Not only does Catman entertain his cat his cat in the hallway (between 9pm and 2am most nights) but it seems that is where he likes to hang out when friends come to visit.  
I think they're having birthday cake on the stairs.

Is there any chance you would open an email from somebody you didn't know with the above statement being the subject? No? Didn't think so.

Recently I've been trying to sell Bird's hair online.  I posted an ad  on a website dedicated to selling hair, I assume, to wig makers.  Though, for the most part, I've been getting inquires from scam artists and creeps.  The scam artists generally just ask personal information (like credit card number and "don't forget the security code on the back of the card!") so they can send me cash fast...

The creeps are less insulting but do tend to say strange things like, "I don't want the hair for anything weird."  Now, I have no idea what "weird" things you can do with human hair. But at this point, I'm positive that whatever this buyer wants the hair for would not pass as "weird" but instead be called "grotesque" or "perverted".  It's their fault they planted the idea in my head.  

Naturally, I was excited to see that I got an email from somebody that makes dolls.  She even sent me a link to her legitimate website to check out.  When I got back to her I professionally told her that I've only been getting emails from weirdos and that she should make an offer even if the highest bid is out of her range. 

This is where yahoo fucking email ruined my day.  

What I didn't realize before I sent the email is that I accidentally clicked "Subject."  Not the line next to it, but the word itself.  I didn't know that this was even a button that you could accidentally hit and ruin a sale with.  Oh but it is.  See when you click this button it gives you a random subject.  The type of subject that weirdos, creeps, scam artists, and spammers use.  

So today I was checking to see if she had written back when I went to reread my glorious flawless email that I had written her.  I was sickened to see that the subject was, "LipSmack heartAttack girlie girl in a pink sleep sack."  

Thanks yahoo.  You're the greatest.  

I smell like a diaper

I just got back from my second day of nannying for the new family.  So far, I think this family is a better fit for me. The baby is 4 months - meaning that the poops aren't that bad.  Also, the father is a former pitcher for the Indians - so I have somebody to talk baseball with.
As I don't like posting names on my blog, Tom Fornelli, see if you can guess who it is without using the interweb.   (Hint: you've probably never heard of him)
He is the least famous of a trio of brothers that also made it to the MLB.  He and one of brothers were both first round draft picks in 1997.
The better known of the brothers was the All-Star game MVP in 2008.  This outfielder was also on the 2007 World Series winning Boston team where he is still playing.  This same year he became the only player to participate twice in a string of four straight home runs. He has a career total of 238 home runs.
And if you can't get it from that... 
The less famous brother is the Diamondbacks starting shortstop. 
... I would be shocked if you figured out who my boss is but you can probably guess at least one of the brothers. 


That was fun.  


In other news -  I'M GETTING A DOG!!!  It's free and trained and has its shots and it's perfect and I'm so happy and I'll have it in March.
