How do I not post all the pics from the Halloween party??

Okay, from Stacy and I (Stacy not dressed up and me as a pink lady), to Leslie (the most famous homeless person in Austin), to the Ooompa Loompa, to Jason in all his red drag glory, to the Astro"naughty" (instead of astronaut...he didn't have anything on under his suit)...these people know how to dress up. The oompa loompa was the best. He was totally in character the whole night!

Halloween costume....

Okay, so I just finished my Halloween costume. I have a party to go to tonight. Kind of lame costume....but something easy. I am going as a Pink Lady from Grease. Will take a pic and post soon...still trying to rat my hair!

Okay, you know I love the Beav....

So, about beer:30 I called Stephanie and said I needed a drink. I haven't really had a drink since the time mentioned in my last blog. Then, I had tooooooooooo many drinks. Of course, we decided to head to Freddie's. Haven't had abuse from my favorite waiter, Beaver, in a while. Seriously! Love me some Beaver. I know I say that every time, but I do love that boy. If only he weren't gay. Stephanie brought magazines, cards, and dominoes. We read the magazines and played some cards. There was actually a table that was louder than us. That usually never happens. This was a table of about 15 teachers. Go figure it would take 15 teachers to be louder than us. Stacy showed up eventually. Lance Armstrong was also there. Stacy is a celebrity stalker, I think she spied him in the parking lot! This is our check from Freddie's. Beaver always has some cute name for us on our bill. Tonight it was The Hot Bitches! Hell, yeah! That boy knows how to work a tip!!! After Freddie's, I was heading to Stacy's house and Steph was heading home. Stacy was going to make a beer stop and Stephanie wanted to make an adult toy stop, but wanted me to go with her. Okay, twist my arm. The toy store happens to be across the street (a major street) from the convenience store that Stacy always stops at. I happened to see her truck. I told Steph that we need to yell at her when she came out of the store. So, what did we yell, across this major street?? "Stacy Ann Meeks! We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how about you?". Oh yes! And Stacy yelled it back to us. Everyone in the parking lot of both places stared at us. Nothing like making a scene everywhere we go! That's how we do! After that, Steph and I headed into the store. I learned a few things....Stephanie knows the right questions to ask. It is illegal for a woman in Texas to own more than 5 toys. What the hell is up with that. Not that I have any toys, or more than five, but what if I wanted to?? Shouldn't I have that right? Also, there is a reason that they say for novelty purposes only - because it is illegal to sell toys like that for women. Again...what the hell is that about?? Of course, all the toys for men are perfectly legal! I just don't get it....stupid men and the stupid laws that they make!

Two things stick out in my mind about this weekend...

Sylvia's 22 year old daughter told both of us to "make good choices" when she left us in the parking lot of a bar in Texas City on Saturday night. The other one is me telling Sylvia "you just never know where the day is going to take you". Seriously! I did not make good choices on Saturday night and the day took me places I didn't foresee! I hate it when that happens! I don't yet know if the day took me to a good place or a bad place. Hasn't all worked itself out yet. Should have listened to the 22 year old. She is wise beyond her years. Syl and I keep joking that she is the adult right now and Syl is the kid. Kind of true. Of course, I really think I am the child and I am just dragging Sylvia down with me! For the most part, the weekend was fun. Went to a baby shower for my friend Stephanie, pregnant with twins. She is so screwed. She already has a 3 and a 5 year old. Twins will be born in a couple of weeks. The baby shower was fun. It was held at one of those paint your own ceramics places. We painted letters that will spell out the twins names. Doc says they are both girls. After the shower, Sylvia and I were scheduled for a class. I don't know why I continue to take scrapbooking classes. They drive me nuts. I did learn a few things, but not enough to justify the bad mood I was in by the time I left. The lady sitting across from me had never heard of half the stuff we used or the stuff we were talking about. I finally asked her how long she had been scrapping...did she just start that day?? No, she has been scrapping for 7 years. 7 years and she has never heard of undo???!!! WTF?? She also didn't bring any supplies to class. She didn't see a supply list and didn't think she needed anything. Hello? Who doesn't bring the basics to a class?? Oh, I seriously don't play well with others. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I don't know all there is to know about scrapbooking, but come on! The day was all down hill from there. Don't ask me what I did, because I don't remember half of it. You could ask Sylvia, but I have sworn her to secrecy!! LOL!

Check out my Slide Show!

I am overwhelmed!

I usually don't blog when I am feeling this way (thus my long periods of silence). I don't know why everything seems to be taking its toll on me, but it does. I am worried about Bert, I don't know how to go about making new friends, I don't make enough money to live in Austin, I don't know where my job is going....I feel like I am buried under the weight of all of this and don't know how to get out from underneath it all. All I can do is eat chocolate chip cookies! Yeah, like that is helping anything! If I didn't have this chaos, I know I would just create some. In some sick way, I like chaos. When things are running smoothly, I can't stand it. I have to stir things up. Is that not pathetic??!! Well, I have a lot of things stirred up right now and am going bonkers! I am trying to take one second at a time...even that seems hard right now. Forget about one minute, hour, or day....
