I heart Fed Ex

So here we go. My post for today. I recently (today) received my new purse in the mail via Fed Ex, via the Steelers store on steeler.com. Yes my friends it's a Steelers purse. And I heart it. I heart it for so many reasons.

1. I've yet to see anyone sporting it in my area.
2. It's Steeler related, whats not to love.
3. It's the closest thing to a jersey that I have.
4. It's # 43!!!

I also purchased one for my friend for her birthday but hers is Mr. Ward # 86 along with a terrible towel. See she's a Pittsburgh transplant in Buffalo. We need to stick together. So needless to say it was like Christmas when i got the mail today. So exciting. I can't wait to start using it. So here's the question. Do I start using the purse now or do I hold off until next season so it's not gross and dirty by then. My god the decisions.

P.S. I had the worst McDonald's experience today EVER! I bought a shamrock shake and wow. They didn't even try to mix it up. I stirred it around but not enough. Which i learned the wrong/ hard way. I stuck my straw in and took a huge slurp. AHHHHHHH it was pure mint extract or whatever mint shit they put in the shake to give it it's great shamrockiness. thought I was going to gag. I ripped the lid of and spit pure dark green liquid back into the shake. gross. I needed to stir it up really good. yuck-a-roo!

FUN-lough

HELLO everyone! Long time no bloggy. The furlough is now officially over! I just looked at my blog roll and I'm so FAR BEHIND! It's almost discouraging. You crazy fun bloggers have been busy busy people. I'll try to play catch up but it's rough. So I'm sure you've all been dieing to know what I've been up to. And let me tell you it's been CRAZY!

Maybe I went into this whole furlough thing with the wrong mindset. This has been the most boring but productive week I've had in a long time. I've been working on putting together a scrapbook for Preggers. The kind where I do all the work and all she has to do is add the photos. Well needless to say it was a work in progress. I tried to do a few pages a week. Hey the shower isn't until April, I was pacing myself. So needless to say after this week I'm one page away from DONEZO. And it's pretty cool. Here's some examples of my creativeness.

So that took some time. There's another 15 pages where these came from. Needless to say I've been busy. What else have I done........ Oh I became quite the little cook. I've made eggs (I hate Eggs) for breakfast everyday. I made meatloaf one night tacos the next. I'm usually not home before 8:30 p.m. everyday, so i don't usually make dinner. I've been going to the gym and having a great time.

**Disclaimer TMI ahead***

I also made a STUNNING discovery today. STUNNING! I needed new bras. Yes Bras. I hate bra shopping, but as we all know when your depressed nothing makes you feel better then new bras and underwear will. But i still dislike the process it's such a pain in the ass. getting dressed, undressed, dressed, undressed. Pain in the butt. So I broke down and went up a size. 40D (from 38D). NO DEAL. Shit. So i got measured, which is completely unlike me. I have a thing about my personal space, but I let some strange lady stand really close to me and wrap a tape measure around my circumference. Thanks lady. And then she says 42DD. DOUBLE D. are you kidding me? DOUBLE D! Ahh man. when did that happen. So I stocked up, 4 new bras and 5 new pairs of underoos! Matching stuff. I bet Mr. ship is kicking himself now. hott matching undies and bras, that he's not going to see. New underwear always makes me feel better. In your face Mr. ship!

for the record the photo makes them appear much larger then they are :) so that's what I've been doing on this FUNlough!

I'm a winner

I WON!!!! I'm a winner! HAHA all you naysayers! To everyone out there who said I'd never make it........IN YOUR FACE!! I'm a winner.

Thank you Mama Kat and Maile for pulling my name! I'm so excited. I never win anything. Well anything good. I won baby shower bingo in January, that was good, but it's no apron. So huge thanks to Mama Kat and Jennifer for supplying the awesome aprons! This rocks!

As some of you know I'm furloughed this week so I didn't have computer access. My best friend called to alter me.
Kitty~ Did you see your blog today?
Me~No, I'm vacuuming, I'm not working this week.
Kitty~ More importantly did you see mama Kat's blog?
Me~ uhm no....OH my good did i win?
Kitty~ sure did
Me~OH MY GOD!!!!! I WON (jumping up in down in the kitchen!!!!)

Ask Kitty she'll tell you i screamed in her ear. I'm so excited!!!

Stimulate this

So I've noticed some pretty fun things around town lately. Like a sign in front of "the hop" local dive bar that reads, "our stimulus is rum and coke" Amen. I hear that. So here is where i will shameless plug my friends web site. Mike and Stefan make "skits" and put them online. These guys always cheer me up. They did a stimulus skit. My favorite skit is this one it cracks me up EVERY TIME. or this one or....well i like them all their....... grrrrreat (think Tony the tiger on that one please) . So swing over and check them out.

Mike~ Please make my check payable to Amy Macneal (lowercase n) thanks. You are a doll. like Barbi not Gi Joe, the consensus is he was totally an action figure, not a doll.

Consensus has two common meanings. One is a general agreement among the members of a given group or community, each of which exercises some discretion in decision making and follow-up action. The other is as a theory and practice of getting such agreements (for information on the practice of achieving formal consensus, see consensus decision-making).

My life in an egg shell

I totally stole this from Diane I saw it on her blog today and thought WOW could that BE more accurate for me today. She posted it Friday but since I'm off Friday and Saturday (and don't have accuse to the Internet at home) I play catch up on Sunday. Yes. I come into work an hour early to read all of your lovely blogs. That's dedication. That's love or proof of how lame my life is. So I saw this and wow does it sum up my life, my weekend, and how I feel today. I want to get into why I feel so down, but I just don't want to deal with it. I'll tell you this. IT involves Mr. Ship (refer to this post if you don't remember who he is). In a sense he's my kryptonite, my garlic, my holy water. He just kills me every time. Builds it up just to send his wrecking ball right through my heart. over. and over. and over. again. And I let him. I fall for it. over. and over. and over. again. What does that say about me? Not much i fear. nothing good at least. He did it this weekend. It wasn't my idea. I didn't bring it up. He did. He contacted me. He filled my head with promises. And then sent in the wrecking ball. It wasn't my idea. It was his. And then he did the same thing he ALWAYS does. He made me cry. How do YOU call and make plans with someone and then just not SHOW up? How do you act like it's not a big deal? How do you care that little for someone?

Welcome my 2 new friends Diva Ma and Twisted Serenity. Thanks for reading ladies. Everyone swing by their sites and say HELLO!

Well dear friends this week is my furlough week so I wont be blogging everyday. I'll probably blog sometime over at my friends house using his computer when i can but I make no promises to be around much this week. Nothing like sitting at home because your job says you have without pay for a whole week. great fun.

I have big plans of feeling sorry for myself (because of work and Mr. ship), going to the gym to burn off some of this anger and by anger i mean (fat), and watching a lot of day time TV. sounds fun huh? I guess.
