The Morning After

Philliam and I threw a Halloween party on Friday the 30th. Today is Sunday, November 1. We've officially finished cleaning and his house looks great! Well, we finished cleaning on Halloween but this morning we did another thorough cleaning throughout the house. It was exhausting. No pictures until I upload. I have a test this week. But here's a dialogue between me and him during our back breaking cleaning session on Saturday morning. Me: Babe, I need a scooper for the debris I piled up. Him: Sure, just give me a minute. *Philliam leaves the master bedroom and comes back after 4 minutes* Him: Here you go. *hands me a ripped up wheaties box* Me: Huh??? o_O He put some thought into making it because it has a nifty handle that scoops up the debris just fine. I guess I should be proud that he's following my footsteps in trying not to feed evil consumerism and being an environmentalist. Or is he is just being lazy? If you're wondering, I did use that Wheaties dust pan box until I no longer had anymore use for it. I'm thinking about either: making him a dust pan from items I have lying around, buying him an organic one (pricey), pay a visit to my local thrift shop, or go the Target way (because sometimes it's alright to be a hypocrite).

Weekly Rant

There have been many instances where rape goes unreported because often the women feels as if she put herself in that dangerous situation and blames herself, therefore she felt that it would be wrong to report such a monstrous act. How about another incident where a women is too scared to say no to her rapist and "plays along" thus making her a victim of violence? Seriously, when does this type of thinking end? Sometimes I wonder if I am guilty of such thoughts.

Last Thursday

I don't remember crying that much this yea

Mix Lounge with Mermaid and my aunt

That's right. I hit up Mix Lounge last night with my 40 something year old aunt. She got hit on more than Mermaid and I combined. So Mermaid and I decided that the next time we paint the town red with her, we're going to step up our game. Yes. We're going to hoochie-fy ourselves. I'll post up pictures from my aunt's camera later since she doesn't know how to upload. I've been waiting for a picture of her and the Senator for 5 months now! She's technology challenged.

It's funny that my aunt stole the spotlight that night because I went there feeling really good. Another thing, I needed to get out and have fun since I had one hell of a Thursday (terrible Thursday...). Usually when I run before I hit the town, I feel really good about myself. But not that night when I saw my aunt in her Herve Ledger style dress. Ferreals.

Interesting charges to my bank account

My last three transactions in my checking account made me laugh a little this morning. I ran my debit card at Forever 21 (Halloween costume purchase) for $55.55. The second transaction was at Fuzio (short happy hour but long conversations with a friend) for $18.49. Lastly, the third transaction at Mongolian BBQ (dinner with a friend from high school) for the same as Fuzio, $18.49! WOW! Okay, so it's only three transaction that made me look twice. Made my morning after my hellish, tearful Thursday.

Overwhelming Emotions

The Stable Quliaty Care commercial that I've been seeing on CNN is breaking my heart. It makes me wonder about the "what ifs" in life. Now that's an effective commercial. You can see thier website here: stablequalitycare.org
