trick cars

So have you ever been floating around in a big parking lot, like walmart or something and you see a parking spot just a few spaces from the front. You head that direction, slowly turn the wheel and bam. Trick car. trick cars are those tiny little cars about half the size of your own that trick you into thinking there's a parking space available. They pull all the way to the line and sometimes even beyond it to lull you into a false sense of parking space security. Then you have to keep going up to the front effectively giving away another spot that was still pretty close to the car behind you. Or, if it's still there, you have to turn around go all the way down another aisle just to come back down the first one again. And then the car in front of you takes the spot you were going for, and the madness continues. If you or someone you know drives one of these toy cars I encourage you to go ahead and not pull in all the way. See where the normal size cars end and park yours accordingly. It's not nice to decieve, and all you do is add unnecessary stress to the other driver. And believe me....if you're trying to park at walmart, your under enough stress as it is.

Weird Blog Incident and Appointment that never was

K, so I typed in the html for my blog in the html window and click on return. And what pops up? An entryJune 2005. what the heck, I know I just entered a blog a few days ago and it was there. My blog entries June-Oct. had mysteriously disappeared. I was very nervous there for a moment, frantic even thinking "oh my gosh, where are my entries? WHERE ARE MY ENTRIES!?" But then I went to the blogger website and signed on...and there they were. Phew! that was a close one. I wonder how that happen? How did I manage to dig up an old copy of my blog. Stored in my computer somewhere maybe ? anyway...Any computer ge...um...geniuses:) out there? Can tell me what's up that?

Next what is up with my doctor. So I needed to set up an appointment with my doctor in July so I called early June. "I'm Sorry, " says receptionist, "Your doctor is planning a vacation, the earliest I can get you in August 30." Oh for crying out loud. So I set the appointment for nearly 2 months in advance knowing full well that I would probably be busy that day but praying for a miracle. About 3 weeks before the appointment I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make it. However, I didn't get home until after 5 (closing time for them) every night for the entire 3 weeks. I couldn't call to cancel until Sept 2. So she said next available appt. Oct. 21. (sigh)...I'm thinking I'm never going to get to this doctor. So i put in a request-time-off form at my job and low and behold, my boss actually gave it to me, which never happens. (had to cancel anniversary trip on account of that) Then the doctor's office calls. My doctor will not be in on Friday Oct. 21, could I please come in the day before at 1:30. Uh no. I'm scheduled to go to an elementary school with 700 Pk-1st graders in a town an hour and a half away. I really don't think I can make it back on time, and there's no getting around going to work. Next availbility is Nov 7, two and a half weeks from now. (at least not another month) It looks promising...no jobs on that day at the moment. I'm just...amazed at the fact that it has to take me 5 months to finally get my stupid appt. And I'll only truly believe I'm going to have it when I walk through the door of the examination room.(sigh) What a pain. Have to wait 1-2 months for an appointment then they go and cancel on ya. Now what the heck am I going to do on Friday? I work so much, I'm not sure what to do when I'm not working. Anyone? Know any good off-on-Friday activities. You know the sad part is, I'll probably end up going to work anyway to catch up on some office stuff I haven't had time for. I trully never wanted to be a workaholic. Why does it feel so much like I am.

My school tax bill came in the other day. It's over $700, and I still have a hefty bill for city tax coming up later to tack onto that. In case anyone's wondering why It's seperate it's because I live in Wichita Falls, but there is an independent school district here called City View. Why they did not join the WFISD I'll never know, but the school issues a bill then the city issues one seperately. I shouldn't complain, because I don't have to pay rent or anything, but it will probably total $1200 by the end of it, and that just seems like an awful lot of money to shell out at one time. Anyway...let me get off my box. My hands hurt from typing while irritated. Poor computer keys...what did they do to deserve such punishment.

The baby bug

that's right folks. I have officially been bitten. No..I'm not pregnant, but the baby bug got a hold of me and man I am itchin'. I know it's not the best time, and I truly have no idea where it came from. it's so not me. I've only been married for a year. It probably has something to do with the fact that 3 girls in my family are pregnant and most of the girls I work with are either preganant or have children they always talk about. Maybe that it's. I just don't know. Just suddenly have a little smelly crying pooping baby in my arms with my nose and James' eyes is just so appealing. Wait...take that back..james' nose is better. perhaps my checkbones...but anyway. is there any other young married going through the same thing? I mean we don't have much money, hubby doesn't even have a solid full-time job. Surviving on long-term temp work and the occasional day at his dad's tv repair shop. He's involved in an annoying legal situation, which I think is a waste of lots of people's time and money, but until it's cleared we're stranded here for who knows how long, and I so desperately want to get out of this town. The initial plan was to stay here for a year...move somewhere more accommedating, buy a house within six months and start birthing babies. We've been here for a year already and will be here for at least one more, probably more. (sigh). I want my baby!!!! Maybe it will pass. right when I'm content without my husband will want one. He won't even discuss it with me yet. If I bring it up it's just a flat out "NO" and that the end. sucks to be me. Who the heck thought of unattainable desires. grr...
