Not Me! Monday

The kids and I were playing outside yesterday and Kayley thought she had stepped on a piece of glass. It turned out that the hard chunk of something I scraped off her foot with my fingernail was definitely not a piece of poo from the grass in front of our house. Yuck.

My jewelry party closed today. I definitely did not get $642 worth of jewelry for $100! I believe that's about 12 pieces! What kind of business gives away that much in free stuff? Amazing. I will post a picture when I get them in. The excitement is overwhelming!

I dropped Kayley off at school today and she didn't cry or get upset at all when I left. I was so not relieved that she let me go without a fight.

I'm telling you, there should be a video camera at my work all the time. Today some man came in and played with the door for a minute to figure out why it rattled and told me it needed to be fixed. He was completely serious. He also came out of his meeting with a broken fingernail and asked me for a nail file. Then he asked again a few minutes later, then again minutes later. It was clear he has some form of OCD. Naturally, after he left I definitely did not make fun of him by reenacting his bizarre entrance.

I did not write this on my Xanga on October 22nd, 2004 when Kayley was 9 months old:

Yesterday sucked. It was so bad. Luckily though, I'm feeling much better today. I decided to venture out into the world of Ventura this morning. As I'm cruising on Victoria I see in the corner of my eye the beloved Kmart. What kind of person would I be if I didn't stop on in and buy something? So I set off with my bargain shopper hat on, putting aside the feeling of trashiness that was overwhelming me. I took care of business as usual, popping things in the basket as I went along, gasping and groping sale items as if I would never set foot in a bargain store again. It was like some kinda holiday. I gave my money to this nice young man who kept smiling at me funny. And all the while I gave him these weird looks back like "why the hell are you smiling at me." Then I took a closer look....his face was really crooked like that! Feeling a little sheepishly meek, I sunk down into the cart as kiki pushed me back to the car. We arrived but the stupid beep beep wouldn't unlock the car, and we all know that if you unlock it with the key the alarm goes off. So kiki and I traded places. She hopped back in the cart while I tried my best to troubleshoot. Finally all I could do was look like a poor lost innocent soul as my alarm sounded with great strength, not subsiding. But wait! Then an old man with a cigarette hangin from his mouth tried to help. He did nothing really but bang my beep beep on the side of the cart and stared at kiki with love in his eyes. I managed to get the alarm to stop while convincing the old perv that he was lots of help. Practically purple from embarrassment I raced as fast as my wheels could take me from the parking lot of that wretched place. I think in the future I'll stick to the 99cent store or big lots. They're safer and much more classy.

Haha. What a weirdo.

I have also been looking over my other posts. Some of them are not completely inappropriate. There are entries from when Tyler first started working for Infinity Electric and when I had Cole. It's kind of a fun trip down memory lane. I'm so glad I'm older. My life is completely different now but I wouldn't go back to being 21 for anything.
