Rave: When your buddy calls you and says that 1/4 of a cow he bought actually ended up being a whole half and since he doesn't have room for the extra he wants to give it to you.
Rave: Quitting my job and starting my own compliance consulting firm after I pop out this baby. No more working for the man! Rant: Definitely going to have a sore jaw from all the BJs my husband deserves for supporting me.
Rant: Hospitals in my neck of the woods are fucking atrocious. Went to the ER at 1am this morning, thought el husband had appendicitis. It's almost 9am and we still don't know anything except that maybe he has a blockage? I was in and out of the ER in an hour when I was bleeding out of my rectum in Texas. Alabama, get your shit together. Edit: But Rave: It's viral inflammation of the bowel and does not require surgery. This is a good thing. However....every time he gets really sick it is viral in nature. It's weird and I'd like to know why.
RAVE: I'm horribly hungover after drinking on a Tuesday night while watching an event none of you care about - the Cricket World Cup semi final. What. A. Game. I'm still riding the high.
Rave: Holy snapping duckshit batman. I thought I was going to have a fucking heart attack watching the finish. Absolutely amazing, can't wait for the final.
Rant: There is an awful mom on the train behind me. She has zero patience for her kids, and I would much rather listen to her kids make a little bit of noise than hear her yell at them constantly. I have a bag of dinosaurs in my purse, and I'm really tempted to give them to the little boy to play with since he is clearly bored and his mom won't even let him stand up to look out of the window. Is it creepy if the random stranger in front of you on the train starts giving your kids toys? Probably. But I'm tempted nonetheless.
Rave: It took a long damn time, but I did it! Spoiler 19 years ago I started a small collection of the signed cards from the 1996 Leaf Signature Series. $10 a pack. Steadily over the years I've added to the collection off e-bay. Today I received the final card (Other then Jeter, because I'll be damned if I'm paying the $1K going rate. There were 252 autographs released, I've got 253 (I have the unreleased Thome and Hentgen autos.) This is the card that eluded me the longest:
Rant: I have never cleaned this much shit out of this many pieces of clothing before. And from someone so small. God. Damn.
RAVE: Our beer league hockey team won the playoffs. I had the game winning assist, behind the goal line across the crease to my player that had I wide open net.
Rant: People's blatant stupidity never fails to amaze me. I eat lunch at my desk at work. Today, I was eating lunch and one of my co-workers walked up while I was literally taking a bite of my sub sandwich and asked me to change the water bottle in the office cooler. While I was taking a fucking bite of food. And then stared at me like some wild eyed idiot as I let this intrusion sink in and chew my food. I finally get up, still chewing, and walk over to the water cooler. There's still water in the fucking cooler! I turned to her, making sure to display my mouth full of fucking food, and say "Thersh schtill water in there" and go sit back down. What kind of inconsiderate idiot interrupts someone mid-bite of a delicious roast beef sub to ask them to get the fuck up and do them a favor? I'm about ready to post a sign at my desk that says "Unless you're on fire, don't fucking talk to me."
RANT: Once again my dumb ass dog has eaten a sock and is sick. Tuesday and Wednesday she was puking all over the house. At least she has finally been able to keep water down and doesn't seem too bad. She still wags her tail and is asking to go outside, so I think it may pass this time . It's always around this time of year. Last February she cost me 1000 bucks because she had to have surgery from one getting stuck in her colon, and last Easter she cost me 600 because she ate one and I had to take her to the vet to be put on an IV and given something to help it pass. What the fuck is it with socks? She's almost 8 years old and has been doing this shit since she was a year old. Perfect dog in every other way though.
RAVE: New forum software, thanks to Binary. EVEN BIGGER RAVE: Didn't have to do fuck all other than sit back and watch it happen. I do believe I've attained "TiB Management" status.
Rant: Fucking dirty ass kids and their dirty ass diseases. One of the other kids at my daughter's daycare got head lice and decided to pass it around to half of her class. Now I get to wash every article of fabric in my house and clean bugs out of my kids hair for the next 72 hours.
Rave: I work in preschool administration, and my son also goes to school at one of our locations. This is a rave because a little bit of knowledge, like the fact that head lice are actually attracted to clean hair, goes a long way into making you less stressed as a parent.
Rant: My daughter woke me up at 5 this morning crying because she couldn't find a toy she sleeps with. By the time I got down the stairs she had the light on in the toy room and was throwing stuffed animals around looking for it. We looked briefly but couldn't find it. Rave: I found it after I got home from work. So thankfully we'll avoid a meltdown tonight. Three year olds mean business you guys. Rave: Leaving at 7 in the morning to get on a train to Missouri wine country. I'm tagging along to the bachelorette party trip of a girl I barely know at the request of my best friend. I'm so excited to get away for a full 24 hours! Yay for a day full of booze with no diapers to change and no crying over lost toys. I can't wait. Rant: I need to finish packing and getting everything around.
RANT: It was 92 degrees on my way home from work today. It's still fucking March. This summer is going to suck ass.
Rave: Just finished watching Cool as Ice for the first time in 20 years, nothing says classic early 90's more than Vanilla Ice acting.
