Feeling Trashy.

So I was queen of the trash heap yesterday at work

we're hosting a swim meet (ends today) and people are filthy, not intentionally... but they are, we had more than thirty large trash cans each had to be changed a few times a day.. Anyway the good news is that I got to ride a three wheeler. One of my managers hopped on the back to help with trash pick up and we tipped over! I was covered in all sorts of trashy juices... eww

Now I've been baking cookies for my neighbor's Birthday as Pillsbury says, "Nothin says lovin' like something from the oven!" Which is also the quote on a new decorative piece in my kitchen , here it is :)

I'm obsessed with bargain shopping if you didn't already know... this is only one of the fabulous items I've picked up from Goodwill, or as Ashley's mom calls it "Goodies" They're starting to know me by name .. true hehe

I also recently hung out with my friend and his band Phinehas , if you're into a hardcore sound you'll like them plus they're all great guys! http://www.myspace.com/phinehasrock They recently added on a member that is an old friend from highschool.. Jason Combs , he's really talented and will melt face with the guitar!

Future plans for the summer are uncertain, probably continue working and hope for a small vacation if I can fit it in... we'll see!

Independent on Independence day.

Imagine a 300 lbs. man with a mustache

Imagine him in a lazy river

Now imagine him spinning himself off the wall as fast as he can.

Now he falls, and is so disoriented he cant walk strait and falls several more times and again while tying to return to his tube.

This actually happened, it is probably one of the greatest things I've seen in a while.

All I said to him was , " Did we learn a lesson?"

Moments like this make me love that job, people are ridiculous and you get to see it in action.

It's the fourth of July, which is an American holiday. It is tradition that I spend this day with my family, however this year nothing was planned for the holiday. I didn't receive and invitation to a family event until today at 11, the event being at 12 PM .. Driving home takes about 3 hrs. I just figured it wasn't worth the effort, but I feel a little discontent, it feels weird not being around family.

I have also become obsessed with the show Dexter, it's phenomenal, and I should have taken people's advice sooner to watch the masterpiece.

It would be a rainy day when I have work off !

I'm on a cleaning craze right now, I've vacuumed, scrubbed floors , cleaned the fish tank, the bathroom is spotless. I really feel like I'm getting a hang of this whole adulthood job, clean, cook, pay bills etc. I'm glad I'm becoming so self reliant it makes me feel liberated and tied down at the same time. I wish somebody would do it for me, but I'm glad I can do it and know how. Knowledge is power , so they say!
