Where the Hell Have I Been? WWTKW

com It seems like it's been forever since I posted an entry in here. You see, what had happened was (lol) Hubby bought me an iPad. So (most of) the rest of the world kind of disappeared for a couple of weeks.

I've also been in the land of numbers (aka HELL). Numbers in the form of fractions, percents, algebra, geometry, etc. Yeah, school. Remind me why I'm doing this again?? Oh yeah, to get my GED. Whew.

Actually I did get some pretty good news yesterday at school. Our math teacher gave us a test on Monday to see how we're progressing. I'm embarrassed to admit that when I started this whole GED process I tested at the 7th grade level in math (all other subjects? 12th grade honors. Math sucks!!). The test I took on Monday showed that I'm now testing at an 11th grade level.

Once my teacher saw my scores she asked me to take the practice GED test to see how I would do. I only had time to take the first half of it but I only missed one problem. (Go me!) My teacher wants me to sign up to take the actual math GED test on December 13th. But...I'm leaving to go home on December 11th so it's going to have to wait until I get back. Lets hope I don't panic like I normally do and spaz on the test lol.

Now that I've updated you, lets get on with the WWTKW questions! You can go to Mamarazzi's , Queso's or Crazymama's blogs to grab the button and the questions if you want to "play" along.

1. what is the worst job you have ever had?


This one is a toss up. It's either housekeeper at Comfort Suites (yuck) or (T shirt) inspector for Fruit of the Loom. The actual job of inspecting t shirts wasn't bad, but when you have to send t shirts back to the girls who sewed them because they screwed up it doesn't make you a very popular person in the workplace.


2. have you ever been fired?


Twice. When I was a bartender my boss caught me giving drinks to my friends (hell, I was drunker than Cooter Brown at the time lol.) and he let me go. Totally understandable. He and I are still great friends to this day!

The other time I was an office manager for a construction company and the assistant office manager was padding her time sheet. I didn't catch it so the dickhead boss accused me of "being in on it". A huge argument ensued and he fired me/I quit. I mean really, if I was going to "help" her steal from the company don't you think I'd make sure that benefited me too?? Asshat. If he would have let me take care of her time sheet the problem would have enver happened.

3. what would your dream job be?


Something where I would be helping single mothers and abused women. Can you imagine how gratifying that would be?I'd (also) love to own a tanning salon. Not because I'm all Snookie about tanning or anything, I've just always thought it would be a cool business to own.

4. what did you want to be when you "grew up"?


An attorney. My Mom always said I'd be good at it because I had an arguement for everything. Hehe...

5. how old were you when you got your first job?

16, I was a hostess at Spinnakers Restaurant in Atlanta.

Ipad It Up To Here...

com We had a quiet weekend around here. Hubby is only teaching a two hour class, two days a week right now so he's be home a lot and we've just been hanging around the house.

Ok...so he's been staying up all night playing with his new PS shoot 'em up, bang bang game lol. And cursing like the sailor that he used to be. He decided to buy his own Christmas present this year. I hate when he does that. He totally got himself the game that I was going to get him. Lol I guess he couldn't wait that long for his game.

I wont complain though because I got my present on the same day. He'd told me what I was getting a couple of weeks before (I've been hinting about it here lol). And here "He" is...

I named him "Jax". 

Here he is in his new case...

Yeah, so I named him Jax. In case you're living in the woods somewhere and have never seen Son's of Anarchy, this is who I named him after.

Yes please!

I'm sure he's not everyone's cup of tea. Just know, he cleans up well. Very well.

Yummy.

Lol when Hubby first told me about getting me an iPad 2 I'd decided to name it Penelope but then changed it to Jax. But, I'm thinking Penelope goes better with that blue case. Whatever. Just know that I'm in love with it. I take it to bed with me.

I either read a book on it (in bed) or I shove my earphones as deep in my ears as I possibly can (when Hubby is playing his shoot 'em up games) and watch TV (thank you Time Warner Cable for your wonderful app).

He really surprised me. I figured since I'm going home for Christmas that I would be getting very little in the gift department. It cost so damn much when I go home. Between the rental car and spending money, it takes a lot. 

Saturday a friend of mine took some pictures of me. I'd been wanting to do a couple of head shots for hubby. He has these amazing head shots of himself that I've been wanting to hang in our bedroom but he thinks it would look stupid if we just had two huge shots of him in there lol. Anyheadshots, here's a few of the pics that she posted on FB. She said these were her favorites. 

 I love the one on the right.

This one isn't bad, but I can't say it's a favorite of mine. 

 I love this one minus the hair in my face. She said she loved the "hair in the face" thing in pics. I thinking I don't lol.

 Not one of my fav's.

The ones on the top are OK but I have to admit, I don't get the "crotch shot". Lmao, I was actually embarrassed when I saw that she'd posted this one of FB. I can just hear my Son now haha!

She did a great job on the pics, it's not her skills that make the pics bad in my book. I'm just so damn spastic lol. It's hard for me to smile and have it look natural. You can tell if that by looking at these. Not one of the "smiles" looks natural. I don't know why, I've always been this way though. 

Well, that's all I've got for today. I hope you all have a great week!

Dealing With Emotions

com Days like these are never easy for me. I'm always the one who gets down on birthdays and on the anniversaries of our loved ones who've passed away. It just never seems to get easier for me like it does my Sisters. Sometimes I wish it would. I wish I could be them sometimes.

Twenty three years ago my little Sister passed away. (you can click the link to read her story) It's never an easy day for me, even more so today. I'm an emotional wreck. I wish that I was home so I could go to the cemetery, I know that I would probably feel better if I could. Most of my family doesn't go to my Mom's or Sister's graves. I understand their reasons, we all cope differently.

I'm hoping that by putting these words down here will help today easier for me. I've got a lot of homework to get done before tomorrow and I need my mind in the right spot.

I miss you Sissy. I wish you were still here. I wonder what you'd be like at 36. I wonder what your children would look like. I wonder about so much. I love you.
