This Is The Distance Between Point A And Point B

July had a weird hold on me. I was constantly running late. No matter how hard I tried I just kept being a few minutes later than normal when leaving for work in the morning. I was still early, but not as early as I generally am.

Now, it's like August just shattered that hold. Even last Friday, the first, after leaving a few minutes late on each of the prior four mornings that week, I was actually ready to leave a few minutes earlier than my normal time... It was Ca-Razy. Today too, I did everything just like I had for the last month, but I was still ready to go early... For me. It almost felt weird after a whole month of being late, to suddenly be back on track again.

Keep singing Jill, it makes it easier for the blind sniper...

I noticed today, when I am doing my daily bookkeeping work my obsessive compulsive tendencies come screaming out of the shadows. I have noticed it before, but today I realized how much it irritates me when people mess with my "system." I have to have everything ordered a certain way, and must do things in a certain order, or I know everything will be wrong and explode. Okay, not really explode, but for example, before I confirm the total monies posted through the system, I have to add it all up on my adding machine. Or I just know it will be off, some how... It just happens. And then when I am getting ready to post, all non-cash items must be ordered by physical size and dollar amount size. So all the things that are regular check size are grouped together and arranged from lowest to highest dollar amount. Then I do the same with the money orders, the larger checks and the check by phones. It drives me absolutely crazy when someone comes into pay after I have all this done (written on the deposit slip) and pays with a standard sized check, because then I start freaking out, "What if they don't see the little check at the bottom of the stack and it gets missed, or lost, or they claim it as part of their "Holiday Party Fund"???? Huh? What then!!?!?" You see my dilemma I am sure...

No matter how you word this it sounds bad: My ass hurts today...

So, this weekend was fun. Collin had his doctor's appointment on Saturday, almost better. For our anniversary present we got a Wii. It is the funnest, most addicting thing in the world, next to sex of course. We did bowling, tennis, boxing, baseball, and golf. It was hilarious to watch either one of us try boxing, Collin is a lot better than me at it. My arms are still sore from the batting practice. We went for a bike ride Sunday morning, the little Hobbit bastards couldn't keep up with us on the bikes. (My husband just gave me a kiss and then called me a freak...) Then we went and saw Hellboy II, it was kind of slow at first, but I loved the artistic concepts in the movie. I love Guillermo Del Toro, we also love his movies Pan's Labrynth and The Orphanage. Both awesome movies that I would suggest to anyone who likes slightly darker things.

My husband has Native American heritage so I feel no guilt in saying this: To the Native Americans we gave blankets filled with pox, and relocated them hundreds of miles from their ancestral homes and in return they gave many of us gambling addictions... So who really won?

How would you respond to the following text:
"the big apple tree just fell on mom n dads house..."
I imagine, like me you would be concerned and dialing the nearest phone available to get further details, cause it's hard to text when you aren't sure whether to laugh or be worried. As much as I bitch about my in laws I love them dearly and was genuinely concerned for their welfare. They are okay, I don't know the extent of the damage to the house. Hopefully it's not too bad. I love my husband but seriously when you send someone a text like that, take a few extra seconds to include an "Everyone's okay." Sheesh.

My boobs are huge today...

I got the rest of the Twilight Saga books, they are so nailing bitingly good IMO, they each have this point of no return, and once you hit that point you have to continue reading until the climax or you go crazy. I think I am actually going to read more now. And probably do bills for the month, ugh. I hate watching all the money go poof! But that's part of being a responsible adult. Right?
