My mom and I usually hang out together on Sundays, our only mutual days off.  Most times it's running around doing errands we'd have to do alone anyhow, which means mom goes to the grocery with me and I browse the clearance aisles at K-Mart with her, etc.  while coming home from the grocery the other day, we took a short cut I'd never taken before and we saw this train caboose sitting on some track and a nice little building and it was sorta like a park.  We couldn't stop that day because I had cold stuff in the trunk, but the next day, Joey and I went back up there.  Turns out it used to be a train depot and you can rent the little building for parties!  Joey and I walked around over there for about an hour just looking at stuff and taking pictures of things.  I really liked the little place and thought it would be a great place to have Joey and Walt's dual birthday party (father and son have their birthdays on the 26th and 27th of June).  There's plenty of room for kids to run and play, there's no dogs or dog poop to contend with, no house cleaning beforehand.. Walt says if the price is right we can rent it.  Turns out it's super cheap.  And there's a real railroad track right there so the kids can watch a train go by.  Of course, every time I invite children to Joey's parties, none of them fucking show up.  I said I wasn't even going to do a party for him, but maybe I will and just go get his friends instead of relying on their loser parents to bring them.  Anyway, here are some pics!

And here's a pic of my cat... lying on my keyboard at my imagination and creation station XD

As you can see, I save everything and then stick it to my computer :) [livejournal.com profile] nochick_fics and [livejournal.com profile] seta_suzume should recognize some things, and [livejournal.com profile] missyquill should be able to see the blank spot where I took Jean Havoc out of my key chain lineup and sent it to her lol.  "This is where the MAGIC happens!" ROFL

I did not want to roll out of bed this morning, not when it had been the first night I'd slept more than four hours in about a week.  But I did get up and go to work, and it was a good thing I did because it was FREIGHT DAY!!! I fricken love freight day!  I get to put the radio on in the back and jsut open boxes and sling clothes everywhere.  And I can go pee whenever I want and not have to do bra fits on sweaty fat women or perverted men pretending to be trannies (I waited on four REAL transgender women [or is it men?] today and all of them were super awesome... the perverted guy was not...)  Wanna see a pic of our back room?

exciting I know, but when I can listen to Led Zeppelin and Def Leppard and NOT Pit Bull and Beyonce, it doesn't much matter what I'm doing. (though I will say working out on the floor gave me a love for Ke$ha and Rhianna)

When I got off work I went to the new job and filled out some paperwork.  Today I went to location #2 of 5 (2 are across the street from each other, this was one of those 2).  The guy who hired me is so freaking cool.  Have I told you guys about him yet? my memory....  Anyway, in addition to being head of like 13 stores between Cincinnati, Louisville and Evansville, he plays in a band and teaches karate.  He saw my tattoo on my wrist that says "" and he laughed, saying, "Do you even know what that means?"  And I replied with a smile, "Yes, chikara means strength and power. I got it after I gave birth."  then he says something in Japanese and I stop him and tell him I know lots of words but no grammar or sentences apart from Hajimemashite.  He also went on to ask me if I knew the name of the band who had had カ written all over their drum kit and I todl him of course I do because I'm a Lt. in the Kiss Army.  My new boss high fived me and told me I was awesome.  We also talked about the difference between drywall and particleboard (which evidently it what is used for walls in storage units!!) and talked about my clogged tub drains (which are now open and draining perfectly HALALUJER!!!)

Came home (it was snowing and super cold and super windy) and was able to convince Joey into a nap.  we slept til almost 7:30, then Cliff treated Joey and I to dinner at O'Charley's.  When we got back I got Joey into the tub for the first time in over a week.  While he played and hung out, I finally decided on what to get from Adam and Eve so I could redeem my free coupon thingy.  I ended up getting THIS because I haven't found the right ben wa balls I want yet, and the coupon expires on the 28th.  I think I'll like it, and it will definitely be something I can use in combination with other toys I have, so I'm pretty pleased.  After all this, I'm slowly gathering up all the stuff I need so I can go down and get daycare assistance tomorrow.  Finding a center that's 7 days a week will be the trick though.  I know they're out there, but how far away are they and how GOOD are they are the main concerns.

More pics! 


Joey saw the Easter bunny and was so excited while we waited in line, but when we got up to him he became very shy and this was the best pic of the whole 10 clicks.

Flop seems to enjoy creeping around the tub.  I noticed kitty prints along the side when water was standing in there the other day, so no surprise that he was sitting and watching Joey in there.

Super easy super yummy cake!  1 box of angel food cake mix, one can of crushed pineapple.  combine and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, enjoy.
