We are off to see the Wizard

Two more days…. I just need to make it two more days and then it’s off to Chi town. Yes I am taking a vacation after being on the job for 1 month. Jealous??? I am nervous about boarding Buddy as this will be our first time away from each other. We will arrive just in time for the fabulous Halloween Parade on Halsted. I am sure there will be plenty of debauchery as well as some fab costumes. After that there will be a lot of relaxing and just kicking back (and by kicking back I mean hanging out in the back room of Touché).

College Football Weekend

We had another weekend of many upsets in the top ten but the highlight of the weekend was the LSU vs Auburn game. My hubby the Auburn fanatic and our good friend the LSU psychofan had a great time talking trash all game long. Hubby was doing most of the trash talking until LSU threw essentially a hail mary pass with 6 seconds left and it was a catch in the end zone(BOO). It was a great game and we had a blast. We are off to the State Fair as this is the last day it will run so maybe they will be giving away some cool stuff. The other half likes to play the kiddie games and then do the dance of joy when he beats them. He does end up giving them the stuffed animal in the end, but not until he rubs their little noses in it that he fills up a balloon with water faster than anyone in the land!

Senorita Boozehound

I need help! My name is Joseph and I am an alcoholic!!!OK, so that is a bit extreme, however I have enjoyed waaay too many cocktails lately, but with good reason. My best friends from Chicago came in for a visit(if you can call someone that leaves you to move to Chicago to become a fountain girl at HoJos your best friend! OK So the job is a little better than that but still) and we celebrated their arrival with one or twelve drinks, darts and great karaoke. The next day was quite a chore and a glass of wine or seven really hit the spot. We then decided that to cure that hangover we would meet our other BFF who is currently selling her turquoise jewelry(and bad advice) on a sidewalk somewhere in New Mexico out for an hour or nine and catch up. All in all the week was eventful and fun and I can't wait to do it all again in a couple of weeks when me and my other half will board the giant penis shaped aircraft (shut up . you know a gay man designed the modern passenger plane. Look at one!) and head out to the windy(rat infested) city. Oprah better lock up Steadman cause here I come.

Fried Latte

Welcome to the Land of all foods fried. Do you enjoy your morning Latte? Lets make it deep fried and it will be even better! I guess the latte flavor is infused into a batter which is deep fried which is really kind of odd but hey.. I love me a fried OREO once a year(Shut up... They are Snackwell Oreos..... Yeah right!! Give me a double stuffed fried in LARD please.) We resisted temptation to go to the State Fair as some friends of ours are coming for a work/visit next week(and by friends I mean the rude hookers that I dedicated half of my life to only to see them jump at the first carrot dangled in front of them by their employer) and we will probably go with them. The last week was fun as I am becoming settled into the new job. The hubbie and I decided to go play pool and darts on Saturday afternoon and the results were not pretty. I smacked that ass in POOL and left him with 5 balls on the table in one game. We then switched to darts and lets just say he didn't fair to much better. I hope all is well where you are.

My how time flies

I can't believe its been a week since my last post. I am gainfully employed after a 3 week hiatus. It is a change for me as I have not been in mgmt. in a few years(funny how my bossiness comes back so easily). I am enjoying the new gig very much and it has great opportunity for growth. The little guy is now the big guy and has grown at least two inches and 10 lbs since we got him. He has the Great Dane grace(poor buddy slips and slides all over the wood floors). He also has the Dane bark and ever since he learned to talk its been difficult getting him to shut up. I am excited to be taking a vacation to Chicago on Oct. 31st(I know...I just started a new job and already need a break. What a DIVA). The hubbie is happy as well with his new job and is now in charge of multiple restaurants instead of just one location. I would say that life is good(knock on wood..Not that kind of WOOD. pervs!)

Scooby Doo was raped

My two sisters bought me a large stuffed Scooby Doo dog about eight years ago for Christmas. I love me some Scooby. In a vain attempt to defer the attention of a rabid great dane puppy away from my foot I gave him this stuffed animal as a peace offering. Initially he was bored however later this evening I witnessed a sex crime being committed by the very rabid great dane that earlier was satisfied with biting my toes. We have wood floors so while trying to mount poor scooby, Buddy was slip sliding all over the place( He looked like my loving hubby on a Saturday morning when we have had a few too many drinks the night before. There I am on the edge of the bed ready for ecstacy but he just can't seem to get traction on those damn wood floors. Take your socks off honey and lets get to business!!! )My little Buddy is growing up soo fast. He is getting snipped this weekend!!. I am way to young to be a grandparent.
