1. Thanks to eBay, I was able to get the rest of the Wizard of Oz dolls from the McDonald's Happy Meals. And, they didn't cost me too awful much. I had checked craig's list, like HD and maybe someone else had suggested, but there was only one listing. The person had the whole collection for sale for $40.
2. I'm such a dork, but I'm not going to tell why.
3. Why do we not name names when we talk about someone? It's not like people don't figure out or already know who we're talking about. Now, if I was posting something slanderous (or would it be libelous?), obviously I wouldn't name names, but as far as saying someone annoys the hell out of me, why did I dance around saying it was agman?
4. I'm freaking out about my costume for our conference. I have just over two weeks to decide what I'm going to do, and to pull it together. But, unless I want to put it on the credit cards (and I don't), I have to wait until next Friday to purchase anything. That's what going for mani/pedi's two weeks in a row will do to the budget. I have $28 dollars to live on until my next payday (June 1). I had to take my change jar in and get a voucher from the CoinStar machine to buy groceries for the next two weeks. I'm just thankful I had the change jar. I was not looking forward to trying to eat for two weeks on just $28.
5. I really wish I wasn't too embarrassed about what makes me a dork to discuss it. Because I would *like* to discuss it, but it's just too dorky, even for me.
6. It's about to get crazy at work. I don't know if you remember when I posted about how the only intelligent person (besides my boss and myself) left the office, but now her replacement is leaving, too. And the other woman, who is super nice, but not very strong, work-wise, is taking another position within the office (different department). That leaves me and stinky-perfume woman in our department. I really don't want to have to help her keep things going, just because I.Don't.Like.Her. But I'll have to be professional about it. (piss on that)
7. The only major thing I accomplished this weekend was I did my laundry, and I changed the light bulbs in the kitchen. The last one had burnt out, so I really had no choice. I hate doing that. I have balance issues, and my step ladder really needs a couple more steps for me to feel comfortable on it. As it is, I have to stand on the very top step (ok, it only has two steps), and I have nothing to hang on to. I need to change the bulbs in my bedroom light fixture, but hey! I still have a lamp in there, so no hurry.
8. I have decided to continue with Curves. I am able to go up and down the stairs without the pain I was having earlier. And, even bigger, when I go up the stairs at work, I am able to actually have a conversation with someone immediately, instead of having to wait to catch my breath. But I didn't go tonight. So I must go tomorrow.
9. I need some drink recipes. I have vodka, Jack Daniels, rum, and tequila that I need to get out of the house before July when arkieboy moves back home. I also have 3 bottles of wine. One bottle, I'm going to just put up in my closet (on it's side, tilted down) because it's from my trip to California when Catt, Jimbo and I went wine-tasting. I'm not going to just guzzle it down or get rid of it.
10. I really hate my own cooking.
11. I'm still not sleeping very well. The doctor I saw for my sleep apnea gave me a prescription for sleeping pills when I went for my follow up. He and the pharmacist both told me not to take them every night. I've only taken one since I got them (it's been over a week). It took an hour and a half to kick in, and then I still woke up during the night.
12. Speaking of the sleep apnea, I got the bill for the two sleep study tests. After my insurance paid, and after the doctor's office gave me a "preferred client discount", I still owe $735. I guess I'm going to have to put it on the credit card.
13. I only have 8 more bi-weekly payments to make on my car. Woo Hoo!!!!
14. I really don't have anything else to say, but I can't leave off at #13.
15. I couldn't leave off at 14, either.

1. I love eBay! I just won the second season of 24 to send to my nephew in Iraq. I saved over $15 from the retail price. YAY!
2. You're a dork? Who knew?
3. Agman is uber annoying, as is Jbug. But I think everyone knows Jbug annoys me. She knows she annoys me. *snort*
4. My change jar has saved me more than once.
5. Bravie is a dork, too.
6. *hugs* for your work situation
7. Can you come do my laundry?
8. YAY! *high fives arkie*
9. Party at arkie's house!!!
10. I hate to cook. I want to be rich and have a live in cook. :-)
11. *hugs*
12. *more hugs*
13. YAY!
14. Yeah, what you said.
15. Ditto!
16. *SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH*
But you're going to tell me whay you are a dork, right?
I'm not sure why we don't name names. I guess in a way it is being polite but it is also sort of chicken shit. From now, I think I'll name names.
Good for you for going tto the gym. *smooch*
You're gonna tell me why you're a dork, right?
You mean #1 isn't the reason you're a dork? *smirk*
It bothers me when people don't name names (mostly because then I have to go on a search to find out who they're talking about and I'm too lazy for that) so that's why I took it upon myself to name names in your post yesterday. Hope you don't mind.
I liked the idea someone had for Speedy Gonzales. I love him. :)
Yay for Curves! I'm glad that you are finding it easier to climb stairs and such. Good for you, hon.
Mmmm. Alcohol. If only we lived closer, I would love to help you "get rid" of all that stuff. *grin*
Sorry that the sleeping issues are still not resolved. And ouch! at the money it's going to cost you. That sucks. :(
*kicksmooch*
*smoooooooooch* Augie
No, Bravie, I'm not going to tell you. Or if I do tell you, I'm not going to tell you that it's the reason I said I was a dork. I get what you're saying about it's being polite, but then again, it doesn't change the fact that you're talking about someone, so how does not saying "who" make it anymore polite, you know? It's kind of a mealy-mouth, passive-aggressive way to deal. Like you said, chicken-shit. Like if the person in question ever confronts (generic) you, you deny it was them? If I'm going to say it, I should have the balls to stand up and admit it, so why all the coyness?
OK, Jen, so maybe that's *one* of the reasons I'm a dork. Just imagine how stupid reason #2 must be if I'm willing to admit #1.
I liked the idea of Speed Gonzales, too. I had also thought of Smurfette (but a blue unitard at one online site cost around $60, and is a custom order, so it would take 6-12 weeks, so that's out) or maybe Bugs Bunny or the Pink Panther. They said the theme was Disney and cartoon and Superheroes, but as far as decorations go and all, they are leaning way into Disney.
*kicksmooch*
1. I need to learn e-bay to sell some rings.
2. Me too and I'm not telling either.
3. I named a name and then felt bad like I shouldn't. The there was the BOH reference which worried me because I am, sorta, a bitter ole hag. I'm glad you named also because I couldn't figure out who was the subject. Everytime one of these coy reference pop up I'm thinking, "WTF did I say". Ok, # 2 is my paranoid schizo tendencies.
4. costume - conference? Is it a wizard of oz costume?
5. See #3.
6. I just don't talk to anyone at work that way the idiots can remain oblivious.
7. I put up a storm door with Dbf and we survived without dead or dismemberment.
8. I should join Curves. Is it religous-ee? I heard it is.
9. I need to start drinking.
10. Cook - not me. I want Weltek to move in with me.
11. I'm sorry for your sleep problems. I *knocks on wood* can't imagine not sleeping.
12. Seven hundred and fucking thirty five dollars after insurance. *mutters*
13. I put the last of my truck payment on my Visa. Clear title an all.
14. Is it dorky to answer a list with a list?
15. Dorks unite!
1. Yay for eBay!

12. yikes!
13. That is awesome!
14. 13 is my favorite number
15. *smooch*
1. I am really eBay stupid, and I plan to keep it that way. I do regret that I had a collection of McDonald's Happy Meal toys in the 101 Dalmations collection that were in the case, never touched. I remember a lady offering me $100 for it when I still worked there, and I figured that the value would go up. I finally threw them out before the eBay craze.
2. I just fucking nuts.
3. I'm glad you explained because I didn't know, but I haven't been around.
4. Hopefully this will ease up after your car payments are done.
5. *prepares a vial of truth serum*
6. I'm hoping my craziness will be over next week. Today is my first "play" day in a long time, and I don't know how long it will last.
7. I hate changing bulbs too, especially the kitchen bulbs. I'm always afraid I'm not going to screw the cover back on, and it's going to fall on my head.
8. Yay!!
9. I think I have a Jack recipe that you can use to make a marinade for chicken or salmon.
10. I really hate that I don't cook anymore.
11. *smooch* Sorry.
12. Wow!
13. Yay!
14. *smooch*
15. *smooch again*
Lasann, No, the company I work for has an annual conference and "Fun Night" involves costumes. This year, it's Disney characters, cartoons, and/or superheroes. I think I'm going to go as one of Sleeping Beauty's fairy godmothers. Or maybe one of the dwarves from Snow White. I am having a hard time deciding. Curves isn't religous-ee, it's cheerleader/touchy-feely supportive crap. Kind of like Weight Watchers.
Awww, thanks, Glow-pop! *smooch* I hate my cooking because I'm not any good at it.
Boo, send me the marinade recipe, please???
*smooch*
*waits for dork story*
Disney, wow there's a lot to choose from.
Arkie: I looked for it last night. I may have to steal it again this weekend. I also looked for it online, but I could only find a version where you cook it, adn I don't recall cooking it.
Gee, too bad you have to drink up all the alcohol. :)
I hope you go as a fairy godmother, you'd be perfect!
Congrats on the Wizard of Oz dolls.
Now that you have all those freaky little dolls, what are you going to do with them?
I have been gone from OT so long that even when people name names half the time I am still completely clueless.
Curves is not religious up front, but the business is owned by a totally right-wing, keep-'em barefoot & pregnant guy who donates generously to ultra-conservative political candidates and fringey-type anti-abortion crusaders. Or at least it was a couple of years ago.
I don't know, Swami. I may do some rearranging of stuff in my curio cabinet, and give the dolls their own shelf.
