People Get Married Daily! Updated

"In honor of Royal Wedding week I have decided to do one thing English everyday..today I drove to work on the wrong side of the road."  -Fence Boy

Uhhuh and you guys all claim I'm the accident queen?  Fence Boy is has that in the bag!

Anyways, so if you have been living under a rock (like I apparently have been) than you may or may not have gotten the memo that it is "Royal Wedding Week" because good ole Prince Harry William and some chick Kate Catherine are getting married.  

I'm pretty sure people get married (and divorced) on a daily basis, but this is apparently a Big Deal.  I will never understand why the media (and subsequently the public) go so crazy over royal weddings and other such nonsense.  Personally, I think if people spent as much time paying attention to their loved ones, spouses, children, friends and/or family as they do celebrity gossip - maybe the divorce rate and counseling bills would go down.  

Just Sayin.

I'd Rather Peel Wallpaper!

I have some projects that I'd like to tackle now that I'm single and "reclaiming" my space.  One of them is peeling the Art Deco Era wallpaper from the hall bathroom.  Its lovely...cream with pink and blue seashells.  (read makes me want to gag).  Did I mention I no longer live in Daytona Beach, FL...I'm currently in Springfield, MO??

I digress.

I was letting the solvent sit before peeling another panel of paper off when I hear "ding".  Ohh I have a message, lets go see who it is.  :)  Aww, its the Storm Chaser.  The 'conversation' (read indecent proposal) went as follows:

SC: hey 
me: yes dear?

SC: what are u doing

me: honestly...peeling wallpaper in my hall bathroom

SC: that sucks

do u want to suck my cock

me: not really...I have been waiting for years to get that awful wallpaper out of the bathroom. Wow, what a proposition. Are you drunk?

ps that was a legit question...

SC: nope just really horny 

me: nice. 

SC: yes it was 

me: I don't like drunk "storm chaser". (incase you were wondering)

SC: I usually dont get that drunk

i havent been that drunk in a long time

me: I figured as much....I just left an alcoholic, so needless to say I was less than impressed. I'm covered in solvent and wallpaper glue.  (read Im NOT interested, peeling wallpaper is more intersting)

SC: i see

?

so u coming over and give me a blow job

me: You want me to give up the joys of putting solvent that would stun a yak on circa 1990's wallpaper in a tiny, very poorly ventilated bathroom to come over and get you off...honestly I can't decide on which would be more fun?  I'll pass.  Bye.

Oddly enough, he thought I was kidding.  Go Figure!! 

On the home improvement front - the awful frosted sliding glass shower doors have been removed and disposed of, the shower has been refinished and all but one panel of wallpaper has been removed.  Now to replace the light fixture, wash and patch the walls and then paint!  VIOLAH! The transformation from Art Deco to Zen is almost complete!!   

Accept His Apology, Once!

Bright and early (read nearly 3 hours into my day) a text message arrives: 8:39am from Storm Chaser "Hey Whats Up, Sorry about last night".

After a dozen or so apologies and learning that he spent most of the weee hours puking and even called in sick to work...I almost thought he'd learned his lesson and deserved a second chance to make a first impression.  ALMOST.

At 10:56am I relented and said "I hope you're feeling better doll".  He said he was sorry (again) and was going to take a nap to feel better and hoped I was having a good day and enjoying walking dogs.

He did ask if he could have a second chance...and I guess MAYBE if he behaves himself we'll give it a try.  :)

Chase a Storm Chaser??

EPIC FAIL!

For effect - EPIC FAIL!

There is a reason he is 39 and single.  That is all I have to say about that.  So my first impression - I meet him at his place and he was drunk.  (That was sorta my fault)  I was supposed to meet him at 7pm after a new client consultation.  HA - Did I say 7pm, I meant 8pm.  My clients love their dogs more that the whole wide world....and I can tell you everything you ever wanted to know, and then some about those two dogs.  **Its actually good because clients like these when they are happy with service tend to tell their friends how amazing I am.**  Well I didn't leave my clients home until 7:48pm.  I had left my phone in the car, as to not get distracted, during the consultation.  He thought I had blown him off and started drinking at his place. By the time I arrived, he was sitting in his lounge chair sloshy drunk and very lonely.

Needless to say...I am less than enthusiastic about a second encounter!  Did I mention, EPIC FAIL??

Save A Life, or Seven.

 I don't always have a lot of extra time, well actually I rarely have extra time.  Unless of course there is a dog in need of said "extra" time.

I received an email about a transport needing an extra driver on Saturday.  Springfield to Rolla on Saturday morning for "passengers 3-8, 10".  It wasn't the normal Dane Train, but a friend of a dane train friend who does Westie Rescue.  Truth be told, I've never met Kerin, but she thinks the pet mobile is cute and she has some dogs in need of a road trip.  That is good enough for me to take 4 hours out of my Saturday!

Oddly enough overnight pet sitting ends at 7am and I didn't have any breakfast rounds to make so a 7am pick up of seven SWEET, stinky rescue puppies was all sorts of fitting into my agenda.  I met some lovely ladies with big hearts at 7am over at the northside Lowes. They tossed the pups into the pet mobile and off I went towards Rolla.  The pups would then be transferred to Raj and eventually end up someplace in Indiana. 

7am and seven lives saved!  Thank you ladies for letting me be a part of the journey!
