New Theme

Here’s the new theme. The header was designed last year. I had planned to use it last October but decided to continue my hiatus. As usual I’ll be editing anything that may look strange, and constantly tinkering with my sidebars. All comments made on previous posts were appreciated, I know I didn’t respond to them all, but I did read them. Just wanted to leave a little note. I’m off to bathe Caesar, the birthday boy. He’s 2 today!

Blurb

Not much to say, but I’m working on a new theme. I want to have it up sometime tomorrow. I’d pull an all nighter but I need my rest. I have some cleaning to do before I hit the hay. Maybe I’ll throw in a much needed pedicure. Stay tuned for a giveaway October 1st! Just a hint: I’ll be giving away a gift certificate to a popular children’s store as well as a random (haven’t made my decision yet) holiday product from The Body Shop.

My House is On Fire, I Have to Leave Now!

The past few days I haven’t been feeling too good. I’ve been in a daze, extremely tired, with a queasy stomach. Just about everything turned my stomach. Being hungry with a queasy stomach is definitely not fun. I’m feeling much better, still tired, stomach still a bit sensitive, but I’m eating. I’m a person who loves to eat and I snack “just because” but now it seems that I am never full after eating and when you don’t have a “taste” for food it’s hard to eat. I’ve been eating soup, sandwiches, polish sausages, chips and gaterade. I don’t feel that I am ready to eat or smell a heavy dinner yet. I miss cooking -( .

As promised I’ll talk about what happened in Walmart Thursday night, close to midnight… Greg and I had just started our shopping first looking at veggies then the breads. Greg says that he wants to start making his own Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers and then this middle aged (ok maybe he was about 30, he looked like one of those guys that still lives at home with mom. Jared from Subway is who he resembled.) white guy walks up to Greg and here’s how the conversation went. Note: this conversation took at least 10 more minutes than it takes to read. There were many pauses which made it even creepier.

Guy: Hey.
Greg: (makes confused face)
Guy: You must not remember me. You play flag football down in “insert random town here”.
Greg: Uhhh you must have me confused with someone else.
At this point I’m expecting an “oh sorry you look really familiar, well take care” you know like when you call the wrong number? Well that’s not what happened!
Guy: I’m Bob (I don’t remember the creep’s name)
Greg: I’m….Greg
Guy: So what are you up to tonight? (something to that extent)
Greg: Nothing.
Guy: Whatcha got planned this weekend?
Greg: Work, ….you?
Guy: Just tryna go out and have a little fun ya know?
Greg: I feel you.
Guy: Where do you work?
Greg: Sears.
Guy: Ohh that’s where I may have seen you, I go to Target a lot.
Greg: Oh.
Guy: So are you a student at “___” or something?
Greg: Yea.
Guy: What’s your major?
Greg: Uhhh…Information Systems.
Guy: Oh have you taken CS blah blah blah or CS blah blah blah (I don’t remember what classes he named at this point I was tired of shuffling through the breads and went around to the other side of the breads to hide)

They exchange a few more sentences then they exchange “have a good night’s and goodbye’s”. Greg comes over to where I was hiding.

Greg: WTF was that!?
Me: (makes “I know” confused face)
Greg: I didn’t even know dude! We are going around this way. (to shop away from him)
Me: Let’s leave! I’m not comfortable. I can’t shop anymore. Let’s go to the other Walmart (which is 20 minutes away). (Scurries off saying to hell with our basket)
Greg: Wait, don’t run, we don’t want him to think we’re running from him.
Me: Let’s go!

By this time we both were starving and shopping could not wait.

The whole time Greg made minimal eye contact with the guy, his body language obviously showed that he was uncomfortable and the guy would NOT go away. I don’t know what was up with this guy, maybe he was looking for a companion. I guess me standing there wasn’t hint enough that Greg is TAKEN and STRAIGHT. We thought the guy was going to perhaps preach to us or something like this guy had done to Greg in Target. I had been in the next aisle so the guy got to Greg and not me. When I spotted them talking, I fiddled with the ipod accessories until they were done. Without being rude it’s hard to escape “talkers”. But I am convinced to come up with something if it ever happens again. This really makes me not want to go anywhere alone, not that I do now. When I’m out with my mother and she hints around that she doesn’t want to go in a store, I whine. When people are out shopping they want to be left the hell alone, I don’t understand why people insist on talking to me if they see that I am alone so I don’t go anywhere alone. Greg told me that the next time he gets cornered like he did in Target and Walmart, to text him so that he can pick up his phone and scream “My house is on fire, I have to leave now!” (2:15 on you tube video). lol

Stiff Nipples

Still pooped. Here’s a funny picture that’s circulating around the net. I’ll return with a very weird and creepy story of what happened to us in Walmart last night.

Still Up

I’m still up. I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to last, but I am trying to get every little thing that I can done before my brain crashes. I’m working on getting a new theme up soon. The fish are so “summer”. I originally planned on putting a widget in my sidebar to show my ebay listings, but I can’t adjust the width so here it is in a post.
