thumbs aloft gentlemen

Frustrating.

That is the word to describe my day...

First, The Sing Off sent home Vocal Point after this performance. Seriously stupid.

Then, Hobby Lobby stole my money and questioned my integrity.

Finally, we've been waiting on Samsung to fix our month old dryer for two weeks.

They've flaked on two different days and today's red neck repairman told us

that he wasn't coming because he doesn't like to come on base.

Oh, and his car insurance is expired.

So he rescheduled for Friday.

AHHH! ah. ahhhhhh. die.

I hate stupid people and how much I let them piss me off.

My doctor says I have some serious stress and anxiety issues. I agree.

On a hap hap happier note... Thanksgiving is next week!
I am so excited to see the Kearnsies. And to eat pie.

On a more stressful note... I speak in church on Sunday.
If anyone has some great input for a talk on gratitude, let me know!

 New table.

 

New Kennel. 

Almost done with the desk!

Oh hello, remember me?

I've been MIA... hopelessly obsessed with decorating my living room aaand

I've been exhausted after dealing with Oklahoma's dumbest people all weekend.

Examples:

1. I had a consult with the world's most ridiculous chiropractor.

His office is in a strip mall. His waiting room hasn't been touched since the seventies.

(complete with blue shag carpet)

He was wearing polyester pants and a silk shirt with a matching toupee on top. 

He spent the entire TWO HOURS telling me his political views on blood thirsty 

Canadians instead of telling me how he'd fix my problems. 

When I asked him what treatment involved, he laughed at me and said, "I don't know yet!"

He charged me $78.00 for the worst consult ever.

Lesson I learned: Do not trust the internet.

2. Jake was assigned the "VADD" phone (Vance Against Drunk Driving).

Making him a pathetic Designated Driver this weekend.

We thought that no one would call it. Since it's more of a last resort for idiots 

stuck in an alcoholic wasteland. We didn't realize that Vance is full of idiots.

We received three phone calls in the middle of the night. 

Not only are you grown men, but you're OFFICERS. 

If you're going to get wasted, walk home or call a taxi. 

Your stupidity is not my responsibility.

Lesson I learned:

Academy Grads are Frat Boys. 

3. Enid's Theatre on a weekend? A cestpool for white trash teenagers.

We went to a movie last night only to be surrounded by people

texting and talking (loudly) on their phones.

Then a group of hormones walked in yelling "Marco" and crackling their loud candy. 

Why are people so oblivious to the world around them?

 We left and got our money back.

Lesson I learned:

 Do not go to the theatre on the weekend.

When I wasn't busy being frustrated, I painted our wall Hazy Slate grey. 

I also watched our crazy pup play with a massive Labradoodle and pee all over our house.

Oh and there was an earthquake. It was crazy cool. 

Hope you had a great weekend!

How many firemen does it take to fix a smoke detector?

 

Too many. 

Jake and I's morning began at 5:30 am to the smoke alarm going off across the room. 

Needless to say we were bugged. Real bugged. Sleep is precious around these parts and a faulty smoke alarm is the last thing we need! 

But it stopped and we went back to sleep.

Forty-five minutes later it happened againnnnnn! So naturally we call the front desk and what does she do..? She calls the fire department. 

Five minutes later four men and a truck showed up and replaced the alarm. 

I should have taken that as a warning to stay in bed all day.

¡feliz cumpleaños!

So it's been a while since I've written about how much I hate serving. Probably because I never work. But tonight I did and it was awful and this is one reason why...

People. You tip your server based on the amount your check was BEFORE the gift card. Why should I get punished for you receiving free food?? Makes me soo mad.

My last table tonight was a group of thirsty rednecks who decided to have me split up their check 3 ways. Lame. I did really well on this table, I gave them free desserts and even attempted to sing them "Happy Birthday" in Spanish. This was big for me. So after a night from HELL I thought I'd catch my big break from this table. After they left I collapsed on to the chair and collected my bounty. The check was 215.00... I counted 28.00. That's less than 15%. Really? Why? It's because they based their tip off of their remaining balance. I am so done with this job.
