Last night I watched the comic Katt Willliams’ newest stand up special called, “It’s Pimpin Pimpin” and it was hilarious! If you can get past all of the cussing and his use of the “N” word a billion times, then it is well worth watching. I love what he had to say in it. Seriously. If I could get that on DVD, I’d watch it every day.
He talked about Tigers in a zoo and how they are SUPPOSED to eat humans if they come into their cage, so why are people so shocked, and why are people mad at the Tiger? Why in the hell would you crawl into a Tiger cage in the first place? And why in the hell, if you mentally aren’t mature enough to know that it’s wrong to do that, why are you alone at the zoo? Why isnt anyone watching out for you?
He also talked about this guy who ran for a living, and then he got in a terrible accident and got both of his legs taken off, but he still wanted to run again so he got prosthetic alluminum legs and when he ran, it sounded like “tink tink tink tink” - and he was calling the guy Tink Tink. LOL! It was so dang funny.
His overall message was great though. Look after yourslef, because haters out there are trying to bring you down, and you cant let it happen. Surround yourself with people that you know will have your back, and look out for yourself no matter what, and keep yourself positive about yourself.

Today my husband and I went to a certain tax perparation company which shall remain nameless, to do our taxes. Normally we used Turbo Tax each year at home, and do them ourselves, but this year I wanted to see if we got better results at this company that specialized in taxes, and we did. The past two years we owed over $2,000 in taxes and this year we get back $6,000! I still don’t really believe it, though it’s happening and I have the paperwork to prove it. Anyways, since we had never been there we had to fill out a few forms. When signing the forms, they told us that the man must sign the form first, and then the woman can sign after as the “spouse”. I was offended by this and I now resent this company, and tomorrow I am going to mail them a complaint letter. I found it offensive that they require the man to sign first, and he is listed as the main person on the account, and I am listed as “spouse”, therefore “not as important”. Who came up with this STUPID rule? It has nothing to do with who made more money, who controls the finances, or even who makes the major decisions. It all has to do with HE IS A MAN SO HE IS BETTER AND WOMEN ARE NOTE EQUAL TO MEN. I find this horribly offiensive and it may prevent me from using them next year for our taxes. I can’t wait to get into work tomorrow and email AND mail them a letter of complaint. I also subscribe to a feminist magazine, though I am not truly a feminist, and I am thinking about writing to them as well. I am not a feminist, though I do support a lot of their beliefs, which I won’t go into for this blog because that would take me hours to write about. I am very passionate about womens rights. Anyways, I had to say something in my blog about this place, and I’m sure you can all guess who the company is if you think about it (rhymes with SHACH & SHMAR SMLOCK).

I found this quiz site online (thanks to shakespearemom.today.com ) and took a quiz to see how weird I am. I am quite cooky and quirky, so I knew this test would just be for fun. I scored a 96. Out of how many, I am not sure. I hope the code below works…supposed to show my results. 35% of people are more normal than me. 54% are weirder. Weird.

Then I took a test to see if I’m a redneck. LOL. It says that I am an educated yankee. LOL!

Then, I took a personality test. And it was pretty acurate. It said I am a control freak! I hope the code below works & shows the results. Fun to kill time!

“Champions of rule and tradition, defender of convention and order, the ESFJ values predictability, consistency, promptness, and continuity. This love of order, stability, and tradition most often manifests as a fanatical and almost compulsive control freakery, combined with an anal-retentive streak that is at once maddening and infuriating to those around them.”

That is true!

The last blog I wrote was about Fast Food frustrations. Well, this blog is going to be about the same thing. My husband and I love to go out to eat. We love restaurants as well as Fast Food joints.
Tonight we went to Taco Bell and went drive-thru of course. My husband always requests “easy ice”, and they almost never get it right. Tonight when he asked for easy ice, the clerk repeated what he had asked, and he said, “yes, easy on the ice” and then after we ordered, she repeated back what we had ordered but said “Large Mountain Dew, No Ice”….and he just let it go. I was told him to correct her, but he just let it go. It can NOT be that hard. I have never worked at a fast food joint, so anyone that reads this, do not take offense. But I mean seriously…I have worked as a hostess at an actual restaurant…the buttons are right there on the cash register and I’m sure nowadays they have most advanced buttons, specifically for “easy ice” situations. I mean she repeated it back to him when he asked for it, but then failed to follow thru. JUST LIKE the REGULAR HONEY blog I last posted. WTF? I just do not get it. How can it be that hard to press a button that tells whoever is putting together the order the request of the customer? And if it IS hard, then why dont you just say, “oh sorry, we dont do that/dont have that/cant do it/that’s not available” ????

When I go to McDonalds and order food, if I get the McNuggets, I always ask for BBQ sauce and REGULAR Honey sauce. Every single time I do this, not ONCE have they put the honey in my bag. They hand you your bag and then shut the window. So I have to open my bag, check for honey, and then wait there forever until they open the window again, and ask AGAIN for REGULAR honey sauce. Then they ask, “honey mustard?” NO! REGULAR HONEY! Why is it so hard for McDonalds employees at EVERY McDonalds on earth to know what I’m talking about when I say, “honey sauce” or “regular honey”!? And even when they say “OK” when I order it at the drive thru speaker, it still never ends up in my bag. This has been going on ever since they introduced the honey mustard sauce to McDonalds. I do not know why, but now all of a sudden, it’s like no one knows what honey is. Like they’ve never seen or heard of just regular, plain old honey. Am I the ONLY person in the world that requests regular honey? I do NOT get it and it really bothers me a lot.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted a blog…so it’s time for an udpate.

On 12/29/08 my dad had surgery to remove a massive tumor in his brachial plexus which took 7.5 hours. My dad’s girlfriend and I took him to Los Angeles to get it done and he was able to come home the same night, which was good. The surgery went really well and today he went back down to Los Angeles to get the drains taken out, and the bandages removed. So far, so good.

I started school again this week after a two week vacation for the holidays…it was a bit hard getting back into it. I felt like I had never done school before LOL! I felt like I had lost my brain or something over the break, it was like I had no idea what to do and what things meant and where to find assignments. It was not good. But thanks to help from fellow-students, I’m back on track!

It’s been pretty dang cold lately here in SoCal. Two mornings ago it was 39 degrees when I was driving to work. I know for those of you back east and in the mid-west, that’s nothing, but for SoCal, that is COLD!!! I can’t wait for summer again.

So that’s about it…I’ve been busy taking care of my dad and busy with the holidays but hopefully now I’ll get to start blogging at least a few times a week again.
