For those who know me, you know I have two greyhounds. We just got a foster about 10 days ago (oh my the trouble that goes with him). Anyway, today while we ran errands. We put the boys in the bedroom like we always do. Not a big deal, usually. Except today the boys LOCKED themselves in our bedroom. I am not sure if it was biting at the door or jumping on it, but the dogs freaking locked themselves in. Here is where many of you are saying...put something in the little whole and unlock the door.....UMMMMMMMMM, not that simple, the door has a key lock to which we don't have a key. Never did. Never thought we would need it either. So, we call the neighbor....he will know how to get them out since we can't. We come in the office and wait until he can get here and we can solve this little issue.
We can hear the boys jumping on the door. Hubs goes in to yell at them to stop and realizes the door is now unlocked. I have no idea how they did locked it or unlocked, but I am happy to know I have access to my bedroom again.
Can't wait for the dogs to figure out baking. Then they can be in charge of dinner.

PSA: Drunk Dialing
With the weekend upon us and many of us looking forward to alcohol to get the weekend rolling, I thought it might be good to share these tips with you before you start dialing your phone while drunk. (let it be known this was found on a weight loss website which to me makes it ten times funnier)
Rules for Drunk Dialing
1. Only drunk dial when you are drunk. Everything else is false advertisement.
2. It is okay to call someone 27 times in one night. If you don't remember it, it didn't happen.
3. If you are going to drunk dial a family member, say something nice. Ex. "Mom I'm in McDonald's and they're playing our song. I love you"
4. Dirty talk while drunk dialing is always preferred. Who doesn't want to hear your best raspy, phone sex voice at 3 in the A.M. asking to bend them over something.
5. Voicemails are always better. This way your friend can let their friends have fun at your expense for days, even weeks to come.
6. Drunk texting is alright... If you are prepared to read what you wrote the next day when you are sober.
7. It is definitely a good idea to call all of your exes and remind them that you were the best lover they've ever had and everything they know, they learned from you. This way you can sleep well at night.
8. You can also call this same ex and let he/she know, that you know, that she still loves you. Then explain to him/her that I would still love me too!
9. If you are a frequent dialer, never get mad if someone dials you. Be happy they thought of you in this special time.
10. It is always a good idea to sing on someone's answering machine or voicemail. Especially a show tune.
11. Drunk dialing should be fun and light hearted or dirty and sex crazed... Never angry.
12. Most likely you will never drunk dial your best friends. They are usually the ones taking your phone away and reminding you that "you have a problem".
13. If you deleted a number sober, it was probably for a good reason. Do not try to retrieve this number. Nothing good can come from it.
14. Always call someone you know. Finding random numbers in phone books is bad and usually leads to angry dialing.
15. If your cell phone dies, remember everything happens for a reason. Never borrow a friend's phone to do your dialing.
16. Drunk dialing to foreign country is usually too costly to be a good idea. But if feel like if you don't call this person you'll just die, break rule 15 and use a friend's phone.
17. Drunk dialing may lead to drunk muffin stuffing.... Be prepared.
18. When dialing remember that "hanging out" at 3 in the A.M. usually doesn't involve cards it's probably going to be more like cheap lube and handcuffs. So be prepared when you really do want to play X-box when your drunk..... "you want me to do what with your box? Play with it?"
19. Don't drunk dial in the pool, tub, or rainstorm. It only ends up with you blow drying your phone when your far to drunk to be using electronics and you wont be able to drunk dial anymore that night.
20. Never, I repeat, never drunk dial your boss, preacher-grandpa, or friend's parents. If you are that hard up to call someone, there is an 800 number on MILLER LITE boxes. The person on the other line always sounds cute, plus I think they are used to drunk dialers

What are we going to do today, Brain?
"The same thing we do everyday, Pinky, try to take over the world"
What fun it is making plans for world domination. Things I have discovered while on this path:
1. It is easier to build an army when you start brain washing them young. I am in a perfect position as a teacher to help warp young minds and lead them to believe my truths, or just make them love me enough to aide me in taking over LOL
2. My husband doesn't believe this plan to be real. Little does he know.
3. Some plans are best not put on the internet.
4. Ice cream is needed to control the masses.
5. It is best to develop a plan like this with a partner in crime. I have the bestest one in the world, so we should be able to accomplish this.
Peace out my peeps. I will let you know if we make in a headway and what changes you may expect.

Father's Day
This year it is so much harder to get to Father's Day. It has been over a year since I have really talked to my dad. I tried at Christmas and we ended up in an ugly fight. I wanted to think that time would make it easier to not talk to him. I really thought that over time it wouldn't matter. That isn't the case. It hurts as much now as it did last year. I don't know what I am suppose to do. I thought about making a CD of songs that really speak about my feelings. He and I had a connection through music for as far back as I can remember. The hard part is all of these songs would have a lot of pain with them. I don't want Father's Day to pass without acknowledging it. I love my dad, we just don't see eye to eye and to be honest I think he sees me as a complete failure. I am not the person he wanted me to be and I tried for so many years to please him and realized that I was never going to be able to be what he wanted. I can't make him happy because I have my own ambitions and desires in life that aren't the same as his. It is hard after 30 years of trying to make one person happy and that was your whole goal in life to find that you can't ever accomplish it.
This is just rambling mess. Thoughts I need to get out. While I was listening to Fort Minor during my cool down I was in tears thinking about my dad and just needed to get this out somewhere.
Peace out......Hope everyone has a great day and remember to send out positive thoughts into the world today.

Rockwall Interview
I think the interview went well. Not real sure, but I felt good about it. I can't believe how nervous I was. I know I am good teacher so I should have been able to walk in there confident and knowing I can nail this.
Oh well.
My students have all wished me luck and tell me that I am a good teacher and that other schools would be lucky to have me. That is so sweet. Gotta love the minds of 13-14 year olds sometimes. Somewhere deep inside they have a sweet person hiding in there.
On the MK front.....SLOOOOOOOOOOOW. But got an order off my website yesterday...that was pretty cool. I drove out to a city I haven't been in before around here and realized it was a small town, very rural, not what I thought for some reason. Need to "walk through my fears" (as the Daily OM said today) and get out there and meet some people!!!

How hard is it....
....to pick up the phone and say "I am really sorry I can't make it to the appointment that I set with you today." or "Thank you for the offer of a completely free Mary Kay makeover and the benefit of working with a trained beauty consultant to help me look my best, but I just don't have the time."
I had an appointment scheduled for today at 2pm. We got home from lunch with the fam at 1pm and I needed to rush to get M-Kayed up and get the house cleaned up and for what?!? The lady NOT to show up and NOT answer her phone when I called. UGH!!!

What Year Do You Belong In?
| You Belong in 1963 |
If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! |
Good News
All around.
I booked another facial today! And it seems that my PR move of sending out post cards to people I hadn't been able to reach seems to have worked! One of the women I called tonight said she got my card and wants to set something up with me. It is GREAT news to say the least.
Then before I got a chance to start working on my Mary Kay calls tonight I got a call from an elementary school in Rockwall that would like me to come in for an interview for a 2nd grade position. I am pretty tickled about it!!! They wanted me to interview for kindergarten, but I know better and told the secretary that I know in my heart that kindergarten isn't the right place for me.
So things are starting to look up. Maybe I need to keep stating my little affirmation every day. It was something that a dear friend (who I might say helped me through a very hard year this last year) pointed me to before school was out and this one little Om got my attention. I think it is a good thought that all should consider saying before starting their day:
I am a creative being, using my energy to co-create a wonderful world. I know that I create my experience of life from within, and as I do so, I also create ripples of energy around me that echo into the world. My positive thoughts gather together with the thoughts and prayers of others, and together we create enough positive energy to heal not only our own lives but the world we share. I am grateful for the ability to co-create good in my life and in the world.
Peace out my peeps. Have a great night and I will keep you posted on my progress.

Nightmares
Ok, I have never said I was a model parent, as a matter of fact I am the first to say I pretty much suck at the job. Hell, does anyone know how freaking HARD this parenting thing is?? So Princess PITA's grades came in. Oh joy!! We knew this was coming, but I still wasn't really prepared. It is now officially, she failed at least one class every six weeks the whole school year! How is it that the child of TWO school teachers, with such supportive people around her, can't for whatever reason PASS her classes! Notice, I didn't say make As or Bs, I just want her to pass. Not that big of a hurdle in my mind, but for some reason it is a blast for her to punish us. I honestly believe that is part of it for her. So that leads me to my dream last night....
I dreamt that I was being held hostage by PITA. At least, hubs and I were. She was brutal too, not a nice person to be held hostage by. The police wouldn't even help me with the situation when I called them.
So I tell hubs about this dream and he agrees with a thought I was already having myself. That it feels like we are hostages a lot of the time. (I know, I am a crappy parent.) If some one out there knows the answer to this question then please answer: What is a parent suppose to do when they know they have lost all control of the child, but the child is still not out of control? What do you do to prevent them from becoming out of control when you don't have any control? Some one PLEASE help me!!
PITA is one of the reasons I want the MK business to work. If I am doing MK, I will be home more and maybe able to guide her a little better. I am terrified of what the next three years hold for me. I am afraid that either myself or PITA are not going to make it out of the next three years alive and it is a toss up as to who will be the woman left standing. Say a little prayer for me, because I am truly a parent in crisis.

Just open up your mouth......
and talk!!
Those who know me well, know that I don't usually have a problem with this. So why can't I get my head around the fact that I HAVE to talk to people to be able to sell them something?!?! It should be as easy as saying "Hi, I was wondering if....and is there any reason why...." GRRRR, what is it with me??
Today, I went out to first weekend trades day in Garland and enjoyed it very much. I sat and visited with my wonderful aunt and discussed all kinds of things, too bad I didn't take the time to meet any new people and tell them about Mary Kay. I am sure hubs was a little frustrated, but I know he understands I am struggling with this and trying to get better.
We are suppose to be taking a trip to downtown Dallas and see if I will be able to open my mouth and speak then.
BTW~ I had a blast last night at a friend's house. It was nice to visit with some people from work and it not really be about WORK :-)
Peace out my peeps.....later I will tell you about the wicked dreams I had about PITA. G'Night.

Send a Brick
I was watching the Today show tonight after we watched Ghost Hunters (really cool one on the Shining Hotel) and channel 5 ran a little news blurb about a student from UNT who has started a little grassroots effort to secure our borders. (While reading on the site I found he had help from a full time mom in Virginia as well) I thought some of you might be interested in it and wanted to give you the link.
Enjoy
