I like the big bang theory! funny.
Had my stupid MRI. They had to knock me out, AND intubate me! I guess with my stomach condition they were extremely worried that if medicated I would throw up in the tube, so they went the whole 9 yards with me. I feel like I swallowed a pineapple whole! My throat hurts!
Jack the cat is feeling better. He and Lily were caught cuddling yesterday. He has been loving and sweet.
its snowing here! we are expecting a foot or more! and that is no april fools joke.

The manager at work had an April Fool's Day prank for the waitresses today. We have a chalk board that has the daily info such as the soup of the day, the sandwich of the day, and the drink special. Today's sandwich that was written on the board was a fried liver and onion panini. Not sure if anyone fell for it or not. It'd be funny if one of them told a customer that as they were being seated. XD

I had a busy weekend. And yeah, I'm posting about my weekend a little late I know. Had a second date on Saturday that went really well. Better than the first. Then on Sunday I met with a friend from my old job at Red L (the place where we made and sold hoses) and he offered to hook me up with a job at his current place of employment. It pays 3 bucks an hour more and I'll be getting a full 8 hour shift which I am currently not getting. I'm getting about 6 and a half to 7 a day. Its going back to a warehouse which I am pleased with. Working in a restaurant you don't get stat holidays off. We get payed time and a half but we still work. With warehouse jobs you get payed the normal wage but you don't have to work for it. Its going to be a major move up for me. For one thing I'll be making more money and secondly I won't be in the food service industry anymore. Even though its not fast food this industry is still as close to the bottom as you can get.
The only reservation I had about going for this is that I won't get to see Tracey as often. It is nice working at the same place as her. It was kind of awkward timing. I start dating her and then I get offered a job opportunity elsewhere. Oh well. In any case I have to redo my resume. I lost it after my computer had to be wiped clean. Boo-urns! Any one here want to be a referance for me? ;D

Can you have American references? If so I will most definately be one!
Nothing new in my life. My schedule changed to different days off and they totally suck now. I HATE having Sundays off. Everyone has Sundays off and the world is so damned busy. Grrr.
Also, I am now updating the comic twice a week. Im trying to get more visitors and stuff. Its a lot of fun and I realize I have passed the 6 month mark. So now I am pushing myself to work harder.

I saw the movie Watchmen last night. Its based off of the DC comic which I never even knew existed. But that's DC for ya. Several comic book heroes that people either don't know or do know of but don't give a shit about. It was an ok movie. Everyone I know said it was great but I found it mostly boring. Non of the characters were really memorable (probably due to the fact that its DC), and the story was very predictable (especially coming from someone who knows nothing of the comic). It was fun enough I guess. It had some good action scenes and had some bloody fights and had a few sexy scenes which are always a plus. And the movie did have a great soundtrack! I was pleasantly surprised when I heard All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix and The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkl. The biggest surprise was hearing a Leonard Cohen song. It was well placed too. Good job to whoever picked out the songs for the movie.

OK, kind of a nasty story, but I'm telling it to warn those of you who sleep on one side all night. My Granny does this, she sleeps on one side and doesn't move, at all. She went to the dermatologist and they informed her that because she sleeps like that, her ear on that side is now DEAD. They're gonna have to cut half of it off. She's been complaining about it for a year, and wow, none of us expected that. That might have also been the reason her hip on that side died as well. At any rate, if you sleep on one side, and only one side, consider moving around a bit at night.

That is interesting. Well, it sucks that she's losing her ear but this is not something I have heard about before. I'm usually switching between my sides when in bed. When I'm actually asleep I have no clue what I do. I've woken up on my back but I never make an effort to lay on my back while in bed and still awake. I find it uncomfortable. I guess my body has a mind of its own while asleep. Which is funny if you think about it. XD My only problem while sleeping is I sleep with my mouth open. This leads to me waking up each morning with my mouth dryer than a bucket of sand. Its an uncomfortable thing to wake up with.

in my 30 years of medical work I have never seen a case like Granny, but she is a rare duck anyway. She is prone to bone death because of the polio history anyway, but she also lays for 10 hours at a time on the ear, and then will lay another 4 watching TV. Im impressed it didnt become painful. Poor kitten. She has been thru too much. I bought a trike today! wahoo! www.walmart.com/ip/Schwinn-Meridian-Adult-Trike-Purple/13330623I keep falling off my bike, and im gonna get really hurt, so I ordered a trike. maybe I can get out of here again.

Didn't become painful? She's been whining about it for a year now. Maybe she didn't say anything to you. OK, I remembered Norfy, Masaia and UC can't see my facebook, so I gotta post this gem here. I have a family reunion coming up on May 1st. I called Granny today and she says she wants to buy me a nice outfit. I protest, I think it's a waste of money, quite frankly. I have clothes to wear that are just fine. Anyways, I asked her why, and get this, this is the kicker: She thinks I might meet a boyfriend there. Ex~cuuuse me?! Who the fuck meets a boyfriend at a family reunion?! That's like, incest for christ sake. Any non incestuous persons there would all be taken, as significant others of family members. And to think she thought it was gross when my father dated his sister in law after her and her husband divorced. Yeah, it sorta is, but still, what the hell Granny?! Anyways, figured you guys might enjoy that bit of insanity. >.>

Last thing you need to is to marry a cousin and have kids with 11 toes. Ha, that is quite the story. Funny granny.

Actually, it's a Pace family reunion, believe it or not. I don't even talk to them, and suddenly they want a family reunion. I have no idea if Granny even understood when she was implying.

I can hear her now. "Git your buttermilk, bisquit licking behind out that dandgum door, and say hello to the cute boy!" and you say uM, Granny that is my FIRST Cousin! and she says "Well, then dont have no younguns wiff him, just be kissing cousins and go to the damn movies. you need to just have someone take you out for a while, it dont matter if he is related. Now GO!" I really can hear it.
it was spitting snow here yesterday. I also felt sorry for my sister and mailed her a b/d card with a tiny bit of money in it. its her 50th b/d and I dont want her to go the whole b/d without a single pressie. she is mean, rude and never gives pressies to other folks, so folks are fed up and never give her any, but it broke my heart to think of her not getting acknowledged on a big b/d year. I sent her a 2o. I know she is only going to buy smokes with it, but thats not my problem. She is acknowledged. She hasnt even sent me a card in decades. Im such a softie! ick!
Got access for my bike. I got a light, and a brake light. I got a satchel to hold things I dont want bouncing. I got an ipod speaker set up and an arm holder for my ipod so I dont drop it. I got a nice lock for it too. Drill proof, pick proof. now, if I could just get the bike. im excited!
MIL is coming for a week long visit. I have been prepping for her arrival. Today I am going to the grocery store to lay in the favs. I have several nice meals planned, and several out of the house meals planned. I have managed to keep us all on whole non processed foods. She is so easy to cook for next to my own mum. My own mum is happy to eat from a can or box. I like home made, fresh organic stuff. We got half a cow from up the street and some pig meat too. YUM! fresh eggs, and fresh milk. MIL will be impressed. I also got the cable company to unlock those italian stations. My MIL speaks very little english, so I have been brushing up on italian. I have some italian movies queued up on Netflix too. Im so excited! she is such a lovely lady.
