Why I've been so tired all day

The offense....



The offender....

*sigh*

Buster picked yesterday around 5:30 to start throwing up.

He continued to throw up throughout the evening
and finally threw up
for the last time at 11:30 last night.

What was I doing the entire time?

Why, following him around with
Nature's Miracle, a roll of paper towels
and a scrub brush, of course.

Sometimes I was able to catch him and get him
outside before he actually did it.

Eventually I put him in "lock-down" (the den bathroom)
because at least that has a tile floor.

Then he decided to punish me for confining him by having
watery diarrhea.

Aren't y'all glad I didn't take a picture of that?

Wal-mart wonderings....

After my (almost) daily visit to Wal-mart today, I was left thinking about
these things on my (7 minute) drive home....

1. Why did the black guy who slowed down to look at me as I was walking
through the parking lot look so disappointed when he saw my face?

2. Did the lady I was talking to on aisle 9 ever find
a plastic box big enough for her son's turtle?

3. Why was the photo machine broken after I ordered
my prints on-line for "convenience"?

4. Does anybody else buy lots of stuff to make a big healthy salad
and then put a Kit-Kat bar on the conveyor belt
right next to all those veggies?


That's it.

I know.

Kinda dull.

But while I was looking for images to use in this post I came across
these two gems....



Have any of y'all seen this movie?
It's really good and probably the best movie featuring a Wal-mart ever made.
(if not the ONLY movie featuring a Wal-mart ever made...)

Ha!
I knew it!!!

I wear my sunglasses at night

because my eyes are all puffy and bloodshot from allergies and I like y'all too much to scare you with how shitty I look.

Besides, the real reason for this post is .......This absolutely fantabulously cutastic t-shirt which was designed especially for moi' by my buddy, Sunshine. She designed and sent me this shirt because of all the crap I've been through lately.....the tornado, the car wreck, the potential rehab....you know....all that shit.

Anyway, I LOVE this t-shirt! It not only LOOKS fabulous (check out the sparkly detail), it also feels wonderful and fits really well. I would highly recommend Sunshine's Designs for any of your custom t-shirt needs.

So go check it out!

And be sure to leave Sunshine a comment telling her how kick-ass this t-shirt is.

*Edit*

I felt that I should give y'all an update on the continuing saga of Pat/Warren/Jack Ingram VW

Pat called me yesterday afternoon. He said that my car is finished and is ready for us to come and "inspect it".

Ummmmmm...Pat?

The dealership is supposed to bring the car back to me and take the Stratus back.

We've already wasted one afternoon driving back and forth to Montgomery because you're a dumb ass and a liar.

Pat says that they "really want you and Mr. S to come here to see the car because you might find something else....something that we didn't see....that still needs to be repaired."

*sigh*

Pat.....I sincerely hope not.

Unless you, Warren, David and Ray all just WANT me to rip you a new one.

See? I told y'all.....only shoes from now on....




I ordered these sandals today from Piperlime.com.

I had a $10.00 off coupon.

They offer free shipping.

and I didn't even have to get out of my pajamas to buy them.

New mantra and too many clothes


Pat called me yesterday morning and gave me a detailed status update on my car.

From the sound of things, it might actually be ready by Tuesday or Wednesday.

We'll see.

*sigh*

I don't know about y'all, but I'm really tired of this.

That being said....I still intend to light a fire under their asses about Warren.

....So to take my mind off all the car crap and because Hair Guy didn't need me to work yesterday, I decided to re-organize my closets ( I have 3). I tried to put my clothes away in an organized manner when we moved to this house, but I've since discovered that the closets are kind of a disaster.

Now I have a confession to make:

" I am absolutely disgusted with how many clothes I own."

Seriously.

It's ridiculous.

Even after ruthlessly purging the closets yesterday afternoon and evening (yes, it took that long) I still have:
7 pair of white pants/capris
6 pair of khaki pants/capris
11 white tops
8 polo type shirts
12 summer weight cardigans with 3/4 length sleeves (not counting twinsets)
16 spring/summer skirts

The above is a mere sampling of all my spring/summer clothes....that's not including all the other cute t-shirts and capri pants I have....or dresses....or dressy clothes....

and this is AFTER I filled up the trunk of the Stratus with the stuff I got rid of!

So that's it!

I'm not buying any more clothes.

I don't even want to LOOK at clothes.

Now .....shoes?

That's another story.....

I have plans for Warren....

Yesterday the owner of the dealership told me that someone from the shop would phone me this afternoon with a status report on my car.

3:30 p.m. and still no call so I called the shop myself.

Mr. Manager (Warren) isn't in.

Pat is out sick (I bet he is!)

So I asked to be connected to the owner of the dealership.

I was put right through.

Explained to him that I hadn't heard from anyone from the shop yet.....Warren wasn't at his desk and Pat was out sick. Owner apologized profusely for no one having called me and said I'd get a call before end of business.

4:30 my phone rings and it's Warren.

Warren: "Mrs. Pissy, what can I do for you?"

Oh, Warren....you son-of-a-bitch! "What can you do for me?!?!"

You can quit being an asshole and fix my God damn car!

I told him that Owner had said I'd get a status report today from the shop.

Warren: "I don't want to promise, but it looks like it might be ready tomorrow. I'll call you tomorrow afternoon and let you know."

Yeah...you'd better, Warren.

Either way....I'm not finished with you yet.

I've never said anything to any of the upper level people I've spoken with about what a rude asshole Warren was to me.

Just wait until I tell Owner what he said about "waving his magic wand around".

I plan on dropping that bomb if the dealership doesn't offer to waive the $500.00 deductable. I don't want to have to come out and ask them to waive it. I think they should just as a matter of principal. But just in case they don't~I've saved that tidbit to use if I have to bring out the big guns.

You know what?

The more I think about it....the more I think I'm going to tell Owner what Warren said about his magic wand anyway.

Warren has gone and pissed off the wrong bitch this time.

I'll believe it when I see it....


I received a call this morning from the owner of the dealership.

He'd been out to the shop to look at my car.

He said he "didn't want to promise",
but it appears that my car might be ready Friday.

Yeah.

This Friday.

Seriously?

Because before I started raising hell,
it wasn't going to be ready until the end of next week!
