I have an old high school acquaintance on FB. Her husband just left for military duty and for the past couple days she keeps writing how much she misses him. The annoying part is she keeps sending him kisses by typing "muha". Every single time. Muha.
That is annoying.

sometimes i really think you hate me
Today I had a meeting. When I walked in the room our VP said "here she comes, silent but deadly."
My immediate reaction....do I smell like farts?
My immediate reaction....do I smell like farts?
nothing like a hot shower!
I love hot showers! I don't care if you think I'm crazy. First thing in the morning a hot shower is the best!
It's been over a month now that we haven't had gas for our water heater and stove. We have either been grilling or cooking out of our microwave. I've been washing dishes with cold water.
The only reason it took so long is because we went the alternative route. When we found out how much the gas company and plumbers would charge us we had to find out another way where this would cost us less than $1,000. Before the 4th of July, family helped dig up the trench. Then we lost two weeks because some family members went on vacation. When we heard they were back in town the next part of installing the new pipe started. Then the pressure testing roller coaster started. It seemed that the pressure tests held for everyone but Zac. The minute the other people would walk away the pressure started to fall. Zac found the leak and the pressure testing continued. When he was finally satisfied and sick of it he called for the inspector. It passed. Zac still wasn't satisfied with the pressure and we left it alone for the rest of the week. Finally, Zac decided to wrap up the pipes and let the gas company decide our fate. After the left over gas pipe tried to attack Zac we were all done with this gas thing.
I ended up staying home yesterday to wait for the gas guy. I don't think Zac trusted me enough to be able to write down or remember what the gas guy might say. Whatever.... The guy finally showed up around 11:30 and left about 15 minutes later. He then told me the glorious news...you are all set and you should have hot water in half an hour!
I texted Zac to tell him we have gas. He texted me back...already? did they check anything?
I think the only one that will be sad to have this whole ordeal be over with will be Daisy. She likes to jump over the open trench and roll around in the dirt.

Parraz for U.S. Senate!
Sunday afternoon I went to my first ever political fundraiser. The same friend that has kept us posted on all the rallies and activist news is also a big supporter of Randy Parraz. Through facebook we were invited to a tardeada for Randy Parraz. I was interested in the event because everything I have read about this man sounds so different from the other candidates running. I felt like going to this event would be a great way to hear him speak and meet some other people that support Randy. We didn't really know what to expect and so when we got there we scouted out our table along with some friends and waited for the festivities to begin. We met some new people, we ate a yummy plate of mexican food that we only paid $5 for and we got some music to dance to. Not bad for only paying $5 for a plate of food and a suggested donation of $10. We met a couple of other candidates running for office and we also heard a few speeches from some entertaining guest speakers.
It was really interesting to be involved in something like this. Now I'm just waiting for the phone calls to get me to volunteer. Alls I know is that I'm not doing the phonebanking thing!!! I refuse!
what up g.....
Sometimes at work I can't help myself. It's fun to mess with people.
1)So this is the first message I got. So casual.

"you might not understand"
Stories that are prefaced by “you might not get this till you’re a parent” automatically make me angry. If you tell me a story about your kid just tell me the story don’t start with some idiotic statement and then go into telling me a story about how a kid says something that is so literal. Or how the kid hit a big milestone. I get it’s a big deal to you. I might not know the joy you are feeling at the moment but it isn’t rocket science. Most importantly I can handle a story about your siblings, parents, friends and I can definitely handle stories about your kids or grandkids. I get happy when Daisy does something cute. I don’t go around and say “you might not get this till you own a dog” I could care less if you own a dog or not. I just want to tell you my story.
And besides you don't use that phrase for anything else. You might not get this till your parents die. You might not get this till you lose a leg. You might not get this till you are able to travel into space. I'm just a little miffed maybe I'm jealous...but really is it necessary to point out to a person that you know doesn't have kids that they don't have kids? Or to say to the person next to you "i have a cute kid story that I want to tell you because you're a parent and you'll understand" and then go into telling a story about a kid puking.
