UGH! Holiday Woes!

Hey pals....I wanted to post something to let ya'll know I am having computer problems...The days of this piece of shit, medieval PC are numbered, and I need a new one...so I will be a bit scarce until I win the lottery or score a new PC for christmas (yeah right). Thankfully I have a computer nerd living under my roof, and he was able to make a copy of my har drive (praise the lord), so all is not lost! Had I lost my data, I would have proceeded to jump off the nearest bridge.

The holidays really do stink. Not only did this happen to me right before xmas, when I am fresh out of loot (regardless, I never would have had the money for this even if it werent xmas), but the general stress of it all is driving me to head out drinking in an hour. Once again, for some ungodly reason, the in-laws (my sisters may I add)...are in town for the holidays..STRIKE 1...even though they have a hotel room in town, apparently my house is "the place" to hang out..STRIKE 2...and they also are trying to get all of us to be together and do family stuff during every waking hour for 4 straight days..STRIKE 3. Add to that the fact that I havent even wrapped that 1st present, and that I couldnt even find one gift I was looking for (boo hiss), throw in the rest of my "to-do" list which includes making home-made address labels for my mommy, mailing out some Ebanned packages, making a video and photo set, working out (hey, I really need to try and keep up with all the damned xmas cookies I've stuffed in my piehole this week) and I'm a walking ball of anxiety!

Where is the nearest bottle of vodka?

In my best Eric Cartman voice....

..."I....am....so...pissed...off...right...now!"

Today is supposed to be a fun, special, holiday day! Mom thinks we're making xmas cookies at her house...in reality, my sis and I are going to whisk her away for lunch at a new restaurant in town, and then to Oglebay West Virginia for the entire day/evening (Merry Christmas mom!) to see their legendary christmas lights. She's wanted to go there for years - we havent been able to arrange it because sis customarily was only home for a short time during the holidays. But now, since Nola was pretty much wiped off the map, she lives here...the obstacle is...ummm....no longer an obstable. YEY! So why am I so angry?

I FEEL LIKE SHIT! And this is why...my bro-in-law has been coughing, sneezing and blowing his nose all week..AND NOT COVERING HIS MOUTH, even one time...So of course, that turns my house into a germ factory...and YEP, I caught the bug!!!!! The one time I told him to cover his mouth he looked at me like I was insane...nothing infuriates me more than people that don't take care and consideration not to spread their damned germs to everyone else. I am so mad! (Yeah, I know I've said that before). I am overloading on Vitamin C and echinacea in an attempt to keep this under control....but now I'll be pestered with a stuffy nose all day when I'm supposed to be having a great time and mom/daughter bonding with my family. GRRRR. I think I want to reach out and touch someone..in the form of wrapping my hands around their neck and strangling them!!!

Busted...and...ITS FLIPPIN COLD!

So last night I had some time alone to do pictures and stuff.

I decided to raid the refrigerator for the video clip …. and …. I pulled out the chocolate syrup.
As soon as I got all situated downstairs with the camera and syrup, I hear D & E come in the front door…Blasted! They were supposed to be gone into the wee hours. I yelled up the steps that they werent allowed to come down since I was in a state of “undress”…LOL…
I was just getting ready to squirt the syrup on myself and the door opens - D yelled “ummm..Schmoo (my nickname), have you seen the chocolate syrup?” I immediately bust out laughing and said “yes, I have it down here right now.” DOH!!! She replied “oh god, just save enough for my hot chocolate!”

How embarrassing..to walk up the steps, wrapped in a towel, sticky and covered in chocolate syrup. I walked past D and she said “Little Miss Naughtypants!” Ha!

On a completely unrelated note, and why the pitures are attached to thist post....

ITS F*CKING COLD HERE!

Poor Sweetie Pie the cat - thank god she's a mess of excessive amounts of fur - her water dish freezes every day, thus the pile of ice disks...LOL.

The other pic? We had our first significant snow 2 nights ago.....3 inches....BRRRRR!

Ice and headaches!

WTF...seriously! I went out last night and had ONE drink..I have the worst headache today! Hell I didnt even get a buzz! What's up with that!

The night was sort-of a bust - we went to our favorite white trash bar, nicknamed "The Rug" by us - the 1st of the month is prime time to visit - everyone can't wait to blow their welfare checks, the 80's hair (including mullets) makes great conversation - and their live bands are always good. Well, we get there and no band! The waitress said they didn't show up :( Lovely! So we started to wonder...as we were leaving, we noticed what we thought was rain was really FREEZING RAIN. As we passed underneath the highway overpass, we could see it was blocked off due to an accident.....we started to wonder if that was the BAND! Maybe they didn't show up because they're all in the ER!

To entertain ourselves in a bar with about 20 people (guess someone actually knew watched the weather forecast), we played video game golf...before we knew it, nearly every dude in the bar was surrounding us, watching us play. It was so funny! I was terrible. My girl beat me - terribly. Regardless, we had a blast. So, time to go elsewhere. We walked across the parking lot and there was this older guy...and before we knew it, BAM..he busted his ass and landed in the bushes (giving me a full view of his jellyroll in jeans that were too tight) - he slipped on the ice! Here's the best part..he was drunk off his ass and says "DAMNIT, THAT'S THE 3RD TIME TONIGHT!" DUDE! Dont you think that means you should be sittin' your ass down in one place and staying there? LOL..We laughed about that all darned night. When we got in my car, it was covered with ice - bad, bad news. We drove down the street and right next to our next destination, The Mill, there was a nasty car accident - neither car was drivable. We had to be extra careful walking inside. This bar was where we should have started the night..great music and attractive patrons!

We left and came back home - I cant believe I couldnt talk my girl into staying at my house. She lives 30 min away - we saw 2 accidents, and one guy bust his ass on the ice, and we had to wait for the ice to melt on my car every time we went someplace new...It was just plain dangerous outside and she wouldnt listen to me! Stubborn girl!

Oh - I turnedon the TV as soon as I got home too - hell we were under a WINTER STORM WARNING! How in the @#$# did I miss that shit? Ugh!


Did I mention my head hurts? grrrrr..

When life hands you lemons....

.....sometimes you get an entire 5 lb bag!!!!

First off, let me apologize for not "blogging" more lately. I've been "blogging" at my paysite regularly, babesinpantyland.com, instead of here - I'm sorry for that :( Its just really hard to keep 2 blogs going at one time - I honestly feel like I have more of an "obligation" to post there, instead of here - after all, members are paying for me, whereas my life story is free on coderedhead. Gotta keep the paying boys happy, right? Plus, no one has complained to me about my lack of posts here, so I'm guessing its no big deal to ya'll. However, I am going to make a sincere effort to perhaps alternate posts between both blogs, to be fair to everyone!

So, back to the lemons thing..my poor sister! Life has been rough, that is no doubt. Well, tonight mom suckered her into the work christmas party - that truly takes some schmoozing...work is a bunch of spinster, fuddy duddy school teachers, priests and nuns, who only serve cheap wine and beer, and don't know how to have a real conversation. So sister was totally taking one for the team, 'cause as usual, my dad doesnt feel well enough to leave the house. Well, as mom and sis were walking down my front steps...BAM..sis falls flat on her knees, on the cement...totally busting her ass! It happened so fast! Mom didnt even see it..mom said she at the bottom of the steps and next thing she knows, my sister's head is by her feet....ha..sorry, thats a funny picture..anyhoo - half in tears, my sister stomps in the house..her bare knees bleeding and already bruised!!!! She's like "its just my fucking luck!!!!!!" The funny thing is, we were all joking 5 minutes prior how she was hoping there was some stiff liquor in the house so she could do a few shots before she went to help her through the ordeal....then she falls down the steps and mom says "are you sure you didnt find anything to drink?" Ha! She had to change her clothes and everything (the sidewalk was wet too).....and to top it all off, I didnt havef any bandaids except for the super tiny ones that are always left in the box because they give you like 500 of them....
