Halloween fun

Our building has an annual costume contest in the lobby. All of the offices are encouraged to dress up and come down. This year only two of my fellow coworkers dressed up. One dressed up as a gift. Shasta actually came up with the idea and made it herself. It was really creative and she should have taken first place in the costume contest but received second place. First place was taken by this stupid vampire pirate girl. LAME! She only won because she had on some crazy contacts that made her eyes look all weird. She has already worn them, she won last year because of them. No creativity! My friend was gypped! I told Shasta that we would go jump her and take the $100 gift certificate since it was rightfully hers. The other girl should have been disqualified since she had already sort of used that costume last year. Maybe next year If I am a bit bitter about loosing a costume contest she will help me retrieve my gift certificate.

My friend Melissa also dressed up today (sort of) and is mad at me about her outfit. She was supposed to come as a gypsy. Instead she came in and wanted to be a lion like I had first told her to be. She has a lot of hair and is she made it big and had some lion ears, smokey eyes and a tail I thought it would be great. Well she comes to work in all tan and wants to be a lion after all and wanted me to make her into a lion. I didn't know what to do. She made her own ears and then painted her nose and whiskers. She ended up looking like a mouse. Jerry to be exact, you know the mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoons. Not because she had a very good mouse costume but because she was all in tan. I think she is mad because she wanted to really look like a lion after all. Maybe she should have come as a gypsy.

San Diego on fire

All week we have been dealing with fires going on around the county. Its a little bit freaky, luckily the fires are not close enough for us to have to evacuate. Work was closed Monday and Tuesday, so I spent most of my time at home flipping back and forth from channel's watching the news. The air has been bad all week but today its a bit worse. As I walked to my car pieces of ash were falling. I hope that it gets better soon.

Blurry Contacts

Today I woke up and realised I should open up some new contacts. I think its been over two weeks since I changed them. On the way to work my left eye kept bothering me. It felt like something was in my contact. Then I taught that something was on my sunglasses so I am sticking my finger in my eye trying to move around my contact, and cleaning my glasses. Once I get to work I am still freaking out about my eye. I think I may have wasted an extra right eye contact by accidentally putting it in my left eye. So I am in the elevator checking by putting my hand over my right eye while looking through my left eye. OH MY GOD,Its blurry! I am freaking out now thinking I did stick my right contact in my left eye. So I call Cory at home to ask him to count how many contacts are left in the boxes. He tells me there is a 5 in each box. So what the hell did I do??? I know I didn't reuse an old one. But I have no idea what contact I have in my eye. Then Cory tells me oh and you have an unopened contact sitting on the counter. So my dumb ass has just been rubbing my eye and freaking out because I forgot to put in my left contact. Great! lol. It makes me feel sooo smart.

Homing Pigeons

I was walking back from picking up my lunch today when a whole bunch of rats with wings fluttered and landed in my path. Like everyone else around I looked around to see if any were flying above me because I did not want to get shit on or touched by these gross animals. Amway's I walked past the pigeons and started thinking about how these birds can be used to send messages. I wondered how do you train them to fly somewhere and fly back? I picture a pigeon with a string tied to its legs and a man holding the piece of string leading it wherever you want it to go. Like what you did with a June bug when you were a kid!!! Maybe that was just my weird family, I don't know. That is the only way I can think of training the thing to go to places. I cant get it out of my head so I had to look it up. I came up with sites but nothing really explaining what you must do. Also I don't want to spend money on getting this question answered so I started getting discouraged when I kept getting sent to sites to buy a book on training them. Why wont anyone just tell me. I guess I am left to imagine that yes I am right people tie strings to pigeons and walk them around as they fly to train them to come back.

Me + Early Morning = Not Nice

I had to take my boyfriend to the airport today at 6 in the morning. Hes going to New York for a conference. I also had to be to work 7 today because my coworker called me last night and said that his daughter was sick. So Cory (my boyfriend) wakes me up at 5:55 to get him to the airport. He is already running late. This puts me in a bad mood because It leaves less time for me to stay in my nice hot shower. So I am pissy. Why couldnt he ask a friend to take him to the airport?? Why do I always have to be the one getting up early to take him? Then I remember oh yeah I am his boyfriend and I should be nice about this. Plus I wont get to see him for 5 days! So I let it go and am just driving dreaming of my nice shower. I get home and I have 5 minutes to take care of the dogs, take a shower, and get out the door. Oh and then Cory missed his flight, luckily he was able to get on another flight. Good for him, I might have had to get pissy again about having to get up early and him staying. lol.

Satan's Lottery Ticket

I went to a wedding this week end and at each table they had placed a lottery scratcher for each person. Really cute idea, I love the chance of winning something. I was the only one at my table that actually won! There was a problem though. On this lottery ticket you had three chances to win, all you had to do was match up three numbers in a row and you would win the prize specified. I matched up one row and won another ticket, but my number was the number six. I asked if anyone wanted it because I know I probably wont turn it in for my winnings. But no one would take it because it bore the dark mark. lol. I took it home and it is probably going to sit on my dresser until it falls behind it or my boyfriend throws it away. I have been thinking about it today and maybe the devil will make me rich in exchange for my soul and the gods have planned it this was just to see how it would play out. Maybe they are all up there laughing waiting for me to cash it in and become a millionaire. Maybe I should go home at lunch time and cash it in for my new ticket. Really what am I waiting for?? I should tell my boss my destiny is waiting and leave right now to turn it in!
