Wudan and I weren’t really busy this weekend. Just a lazy weekend, I guess.
We did catch the Sex In the City Movie on Saturday. It was really good - if you’re a fan of the show then go see it. But if you’re not. . . eh you don’t care right?
Sunday, we were getting our chores done and wanted to take the boy to Kung Fu Panda. Well Wudan was going to get the dog and I followed then the boy followed and closed the door. Yup, the family got locked out. Oh well just go get the spare key. . . . wait! We never-ever gave a spare key to anyone. We went to check all the windows, oh they were locked too. Called a locksmith and he busted the door knob for $128.00. Then we went to the Home Depot for and got another lock for $30.00. We ended up not going to the movies. . . because we’re pretty much poor ’til payday I guess.
Then on top of that, I just was in a pissy mood. I yelled at Wudan a couple times and he yelled back. . . we just didn’t have a good weekend.
BUT I’M DAMN DETERMINED TO MAKE THE WEEK A GOOD ONE! Stick that in your poo and call it done.
So I’ve had this song stuck in my head from Sunday. . .
If you don’t know, Adam Samberg is singing about the President of Iran. . . I thought he was singing about Iraq for the longest time - but then I got the lyrics:
“He ran, for the president of Iran
we ran together to a tropical island
my man, Mahmoud is known for rilin’
smiling, if he can still do it then I can
they call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
you can play the Jews I can be your Jim Caviezel
S&M, nestlin’ when we’re wrestlin’
You can be the port that I park my vessel in
So I try to mute the tv but you can still see me
with your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt…
Yeah.”
So anyway. . . quick update:
Goal for the month of June (minus some previously made plans) No eating out - Wudan and I spend too much dough on eating out, it’s sick. Plus with gas prices going up we need to conserve our dough, ya know.
Last night, the boy started to patch his left eye again. Our last eye appt, he was at 20/40 in that eye. He’s gotten a bit better but not much. Our eye doctor suggested we go back to patching to see if we could get him to 20/25 (which he was at after his surgery and patching from before). But he also stated that most doctors would leave us alone at 20/40, but he has a feeling that we could get the boy to 20/25. I also raised a couple of concerns
1. The boy is a lot older and it will be harder to get him to cope with a patch on his eye. But the rewards will be greater to motivate him.
2. He’s a lot older and there’s a chance that his eye is done developing - so we’re going to patch aggressively for a month and then see what the results are if he improves we’ll cont’ but if it doesn’t we’re going to throw the patches away and NEVER SEE them again!!!
3. If he does improve we might patch more - but just for the summer.
Every week that goes by - we’ll reward the boy with something. Tackle this one week at a time! He’s doing really good today. I just love the lil’ guy!!!
Well, if you don’t know - my boss left for a month to climb Mt. McKinley, aka Denali Climb. If you’re a hardcore climber you’re probably geekin’ out from this fact. I’ve linked the blog on that documents his climb on the left.
With him leaving, I’m filling in the spot. Yeah - that’s where the shit hits the fan comment comes in. I’m over everybody and every aspect of the business right now. I’m pulling 50hrs weeks to add to the pain and suffering. Wudan is pretty neglected right now. . . but he’s helping me wherever I need it.
Last Saturday, I had a Pampered Chef party. Thank you to everyone who attended! It was a good time. I’ve spoke to Carebear about this - but after the party, I thought to myself, “Man, we should do this every month minus the selling part.” What if we got together and just swapped recipes and cooking techniques. Plus we could highlight one of the girls and they could bring a recipe that we could cook and then eat afterwards. I think that would be pretty fun.
You know, with this whole Pampered Chef party, I even thought about being a consultant. But I just don’t have the time to even let my brain go into that area. I think I would be good at it, no doubt. (I’m so cocky!) But I’ve got my hands into too many pots right now.
Last night we were unpacking the car from our Costco run, you know getting ready for the boy’s birthday party. Well, the lds sister missionaries are walking up the driveway. Immediately, I get that “Oh no” feeling. Don’t get me wrong. I have the utmost respect for anyone in that field. I mean you’re dedicating 1 to 2 years of your life to your faith. It’s a position that you should respect no matter what religion or belief system you hold.
I try to be nice and respectful when I tell missionaries my beliefs.
So the girls make small talk and then ask us where we stand regarding the lds church. I told them, that I don’t consider us members, not even inactive. She then asked us, where our beliefs stand now. I looked at Wudan and he responded:
“Well I’m agnostic and she’s atheist.”
I think that once they heard that I was atheist it was like the magic word. Immediately, they focused all their attention on me.
“You don’t believe in a God at all?”
“How can you look at the beautiful things around you and not know that there is a higher being?”
“Where do you think your beautiful son came from?”
I pointed to me and Wudan at the point and said, “Right here.”
I felt like I was thrown under a bus. There are many people in my life that have this faith and I don’t mean to be disrespectful in this post and if I am, I apologize.
The sister missionaries asked us if they could come over to give us talks and we respectful declined their offer.
Just got called an “F****** B****!” by a lady. . . I was turning left into the GrayWhale parking lot and I didn’t see her. But here’s the thing, she was biking slow enough and she knew I was coming anyway. I had my windows down and she yelled into it. Of course, I yelled back really loud, “SORRY!!!” But I wasn’t really . . . . my tone was all but sorry. . . more like, “Shut up!!!”
We went through our DVDs and games and I had time on my lunch to hit the GrayWhale to trade them in for store credit. Got $80bucks in store credit. I figure since the Wii Fit is coming out soon. . or ROCKBAND FOR THE WII!!! Wo0T!!! I’m wondering about this Chaos Wars too. . . it looks so cute! Ck it out:
Getting the house ready for a Pamper Chef party at the end of the month. Invites are going out this week. . . I’m excited and anxious. I could really use some new cookware actually knives!
The boy’s birthday is next week. . he’s so old!!! No correction, AMY’S SO OLD!
We got our stimulus package earlier than we expected and upgraded our TV this weekend. It’s official before I shop at the stores I’m looking on ksl.com. Yeah, we got our tv through there. . . One of the reps from a local furniture store listed an open box item there and it was about $399.00 cheaper! We got it + a new tv console.
Our basement looks like crap because of this. . . but it usually looks like crap because that’s the room we spend the most time in.
I’m thinking of listing our ole’ tv for $25 bucks and the stand for $50.
We went to Katie’s Birthday party this weekend and the boy had a blast. I had fun too but I didn’t really know a lot of folks there except the inlaws. I think my favorite part was when Katie didn’t want to get messy and dive into her cake. I don’t think the boy did that either when it was his first birthday. Thumbs up for clean babies man!
Later Carebear, lil’ tikette, & Guildy came over and we watched our first movie on the Big Screen - 10 Things I Hate About You (Oh Heath! boohoo). We started with Finding Nemo but we were still adjusting the colors and so we needed just a regular good movie.
Sunday we went to eat dim sum for Mother’s Day and then later we went to the inlaws to hang out.
All in all - it was a busy, fun-filled weekend.
1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
Wow. . lets see that would of been 1998. Wudan would of graduate high school and we were dating. Possibly I was prego with the boy (are you reading this boy??) I think I was worried about regular high school crap. What was I wearing to Jr. prom etc. . . . 2. Five things on my “To Do List” today:
*Get Invites out for my Pampered Chef Party
*Dishes
*Laundry
*Clean out 14gal nano tank
*Get R/O Water from Water2Go I have more than just (5) 3. Snacks I enjoy:
*Stale Popcorn
*Reese Pieces
*Peanut M&Ms
*Quaker Oats Snack Mix 4. What would I do if suddenly I was a billionaire?
Would it really be a billion? I mean I would have to pay the taxes on it and then I think I would be only a millionaire. If I was a millionaire, I would pay off our house, all the student loans, I would pay off all my families houses. FREE HOUSES FOR EVERYONE!!! Then I would setup college funds for all the kids in the family. Then I would make sure Wudan and I were taken care of as far as retirement etc. Then donate most of the money to charity. There’s really no need for that much money with me. I could end up like Hugo or something. . . IT COULD BE CURSED!!!! 5. Three bad habits:
I pick my scabs to the point the bleed and scar.
Every time I blow my nose, I have to check the tissue to see my awesome nasal discharge.
I pop my zits 6. Five places I’ve lived:
Utah all my life. . . pretty boring to name all the cities. 7. Five jobs I’ve had:
*Donut decorator @ Tommies
*Hostess @ JB’s
*Fryer @ Central Park
*Fast Food Attendant @ Scott’s Drive In
*Health Care Provider to Mentally Challenged People 8. Five things that MOST people don’t know about me:
*I didn’t graduate high school but got my GED but I’m thinking of going back to get that
*I don’t like talking about my parents with ppl
*I get anxiety when I have to plan any kind of party even small get-togethers
*I would like to have another child soon.
*I love the show Jon & Kate + 8
