skunked

of course when momma crundwell is out of town, Sage would get into trouble.  so last night, i'm talking on the phone and let sage-y-poo out.

She comes back in the house and there is this horrible stank, but not just on her...outside too, definitely had a skunk situation on our hands.  It was weird because Sage had this freaked out look on her face....like there was a backyard brawl or something.  The crappy thing is that I wanted to cuddle her up, but she was so stinky that I couldn't bring myself to be close to her.

So, it's late and I decided that I would wait to deal with it in the morning.  And being a good step mom, I let stinkbutt sleep in my room.

No surprise, she still reaked this morn.  So, I'm like...tomato juice bath?  but i had a bad visual of our nice clean bath room (cleaning lady came tues - yeah!) getting tomatoed...so outdoor bath with the hose was the way to go.

So, I think that she smells better.  With wet dog it's kind of hard to tell, but it's a big improvement.

Yeah, so i'll have to ask Jess was the protocol is when a dog gets skunked.  Sometimes I'm just not cut out for this kind of responsibility.  =)

hand slap: don't name call

so, i go out to dinner  last tuesday with this friend I met through this towny bar that me and my roomie are regulars at.  honestly, i wanted him to be my bar friend and nothing more, but he asked me to go and I thought it be nice to get to know him (and also make clear that I just wanted to be friends).

to make a long story short, he totally suprised me!  I thought I'd get picked up is his hillbilly truck with his shiny belt buckle blinding me (I bet you couldn't tell that he's a country boy...).  Any who, he looked like a total cutie and was a gentlemen and we had a fantastic time.  Good conver, not awkward, just nice.  It was cool because we talked about our history of relationships and most current ex's - we both had been single for about a month.  I could tell that he was looking for a relationship, but I explained how I've had this streak of falling for guys fast and figuring out that they weren't right for me...so I wanted to be cautious.  And he respected that.

So, the next day...he sends me a text...something like "you were in my mind's eye all day"...of couse I'm like gag me and I respond with "you have three eyes?  you should really get that checked out=)"...honestly, it just too early for gushy texts, but it was sweet.

So, it's Thursday softball day, and it's a early game.  So me and my girlies go to dinner and drinks and of course end up at our towny bar.  And, we run into my bar friend/dinner dude.  It's weird because I see him being flirty with one of the off duty bartenders, which doesn't totally bother me, just a little weird.  So, time goes by, and the off duty bartender is leavin' and they are both standing behind me and my friend.  Then, she kisses him and he says "call me".  HOLD UP!  Ok, I don't want him to be my boyfriend, but don't send me mushy texts and act like your all into me if you're going to play "call me" with another girl...

Oh, it gets better.

So, my friend was a little mean to him cause she protective (love her).  But, I felt bad, so I decide to go explain to him why she was given him the cold shoulder and to call him on his "call me".  So I walk over and told him that I saw them kiss and heard him.  He explained that his ex was at the bar and the bartender was just trying to make him jealous.  So he points her out...

I walk away and of couse check out this chick.  And, I'm not totally judgemental, but she's a little gross, definitely bar material.  So drinking goes on and so does his talking to his ex, you can tell she's trying to smooth talk him and he's trying to play it cool, but she's definitely winning.

So he's playing pool, and smooth operater me, walks up - tells him basically that he's lame, and add in the jab "honestly, she's kind of white trash..."

BAD MOVE.  that didn't go over to well.  Not only did I say it once, but my whole table was talking about it, and my friend texted me the next day (after I sincerely tried to text aplogize) told me that I said it to him 3 times and wouldn't let it go.   aghh, yeah, did I say bad move.  I don't think we'll be talking any time soon.

So lessen learned:  don't call people white trash....well actually, don't tell guys that their ex girlfriends are white trash.  It seems to offend them (especially when they are not over them).  I will say though, I do still think she is kind of white trash.

funny crap

my roomate and I have always had a good morning routine, she gets to work around 7 and me at 8 (ok i won't lie...typically 8:10).  So bathroom time works like a gem.

So Monday, I decided that I was going to wear this cute dress...said bye to Jess and went about my getting ready as usual.  So I'm about to leave to go to work and go to put on the dress...

CRAP...it zips all the way up my back and i really not that flexible so I can only get the dress zipped by myself (believe me I tried every move i had)... a normal person probably just would have picked another outfit, but not me.  I love this dress and I had it in my head that I was going to wear it.  SO wear it I did.  I had a plan...

As I pull in the parking lot, I saw about 5 people, all I needed was to wait until they all were in from of me and then i walked trying to seem cool to the entrance...made a quick right to the elevator, YES!  So far no one....

Then crud, somebody just had to come wait with me and NOT a girl - if so I would have kindly as her to zip my dress up so my back was not half exposed AT WORK.  So I stand their waiting, back to the wall=)  So, of couse, he's a gentlemen and wants me to get in the elevator first (NOOOO, I scream inside)...so like a toolshed, I turn, face him and back into the elevator=) what a scene?

Up to the 3rd floor we go... "ding", all composure and professionalism is tossed out the window and I book out of the elevator in the fastest speedwalk I can manage.  I know he saw my ridiculous back outfit going on, but I was off to Jess' desk so she could save me and zip me up...

So, it was a little odd start to the day, but man I love that dress!

met a guy named andy

...in Milwaukee last night.  We were talking about how I was a half nerd because I have a blog...

It's funny because that's the risk you talk when you're with moshib, you're life can completely be exposed for the whole world to see (or the 25 people that actually read my blog - ha - it's something!)

So let's talk about Andy:  outfit-- some dark grey graphic tee, said "masters of ..something", white long sleeve shirt underneath, khaki cargo shorts and flip flops.  drink of choice-- PBR... occupation-- does some training for Walgreen's, teaches kickboxing and some sort of karate classes...car -- maroon ford tauras (hello, ladies man, wouldn't you just drool over a guy with a tauras?)...friend-- his name was Brian.  Age-- 28.  Personality like's -- very funny, dry, sacrastic sense of humor, fun to talk to, was good company, and sweet--gave kim & i a ride to our parking garage.  Personlity flaw's -- king of one-liners, it's like a huge size bag a peanut m&m's the first half is so good, but by the time keep eating the rest of the bag one by one, you feel sick.

Question:  do you know this guy?

Any who, fun night all together...got to see the fireworks, saw Zach play at Trinity, got to have girl time with Kim (and see her reaction to a "blind date meeting encounter" - priceless, and met a random guy named Andy.

p.s. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  Be safe, have fun.

"you make a great weiner Shay"

day 2 of the photo shoot at Quad.  Today, we just have a couple boxer brief shots on forms instead of models...

So, the stylist Shay, essentially has to make a "form weiner" so our boxer briefs are filled out.  It took a little effort, but we got it...

It's not everyday at work when a compliment is "you make a great weiner Shay..."

this was redonkulous

so last night at our softball game - the weirdest thing happened...I forgot how to throw!  I honestly just couldn't do it...I either threw a digger in the ground or just lofted it way right.  It was like I had a weirdos arm transplated on my shoulder when I wasn't looking.  It freaked me out.  I admit - i've never been a strong thrower, I do something weird with my arm, but I at least had a little power and aim...and it just left.

Maybe it was Friday the 13th sneaking up on me a little early, but it just made me so shakey and nervous during the game...I just couldn't shake my butterflies!  Luckily, we won.  I only had to make 2 plays in the outfield - thank the Lord!

love you Quinn

crazy, shocking, amazing, wonderful news...

as a freshman in college, when all athletes had to report a week early..one of the first people I met at Parkside was this little (well he's actually tall), curly haired cutie named Quinn.  We became close fast, in fact him, myself and Mel quickly became inseparable.  sleepovers, mini-parties, and as our sugar daddy for pizza, Quinn was one of my best friends.  He's one of those people that just gets you and will love you know matter what...he'll have the balls to tell you when you're being completely stupid but has the sensitivity to pick you up and love you when you decided not to listen...and he'll wait until after you stop crying and tell you "I told you so" to make you laugh and forget, at least, for a time...

He's supported me in so many ways...in running (yup we're running nerds)...in struggles...in break-ups...just in life's twists and turns - he always been constant.

And 8 years later, this guy, who has now been living in Arizona for the past couple years, has an amazing girlfriend who is as uniquely independent, hella smart, and stubborn as he is.  I've come to realize that they are perfect for each other...and even though I am a selfish friend who likes to think that no one is good enough for him, I think she is.

I just found out yesterday, that these two people who "are against marriage, see no point to it, don't need it"...are, in fact, getting married.  Kristin just got a job offering in Japan, for 2 years, leaving at the end of August.  To them, it just made sense to take on this new path in life as a married couple.  And, true to their fashion...it's "not a big deal, no ceremony, no wedding dress, no fuss type of thing"...they are tying the knot next Wednesday, June 18 - the day they first met.  Congratulations you guys - love you Quinn.  See you at your party.  (I'll be the girl crying).

p.s.  in a complete selfish blogger fashion, I can't wait to get a hit from Tokyo - heck yeah baby...takin' on the world.

urban dictionary - hilarious

so, my friend...and firm & burn instructor=) enlightened my mind to the urban dictionary...

it really cracks the crap out of me...you essentially get e-mailed a word a day with definition and usage.  I've only been getting e-mails for about a week and they completely rock.  My fav so far has been "chuck a spaz"...basically throwing a spastic fit=)

usage:  Tim (my boss)...stop chucking a spaz...i know the offer was supposed to be 25% off, but i can stand you flapping around my desk.

it is a stepping stone is my professional career...

My boss (the king of techie people everywhere), called me (lil' moshi) brilliant...

He may change his ways tomorrow and be back to "moshi, what are you thinking?"...but today...oh special day...i'll let it linger.

a huge step in my life..

I joined facebook....yeah, kind of feel like a grandma because i'm late in the game...i purposely avoided it for years...just didn't want to jump on that train...

But then I'm like, hmmm, it would actually be nice to catch up with old friends and people I haven't seen in forever...so I did it - I joined..yesterday.  so I wrote on my first wall and made some friends - and even cropped myself out of a jockey softball picture so I could have a face to my profile=)

I'm embarking on a new journey...still don't really know how to use it or make my page cool...but i'm on the train...and i like it=)
