Back to Reality. I am about to go back to work after a lovely 4 day hiatus filled with fun and fam. More on that later. (Hint: more amphibians!) My husband and 2 houseguests are blissfully sleeping upstairs without a care in the world while I am walking into a god damn firing squad at work. Can’t wait. If I had an emergency exit and a beverage cart, I might be pulling a Steven Slater today.

Have you spent the first hour of your day (6am to 7am) on the phone with Cisco? Regarding your Wireless-N Home Router? No? Then you are having a much better day than I am. Glad I could cheer you up.

I don’t know if it is Even Stephen or the Fickle Finger of Fate or what, but it is a double WTF that both shane and I have fallen victim to the perils of the stupid ass-backwards hiring process recently.
ME – I was strong-armed into quitting my old job with less than 2 weeks notice because, according to the staffing fuckers, I could only have the new job if I was able to start May 3. Fast forward to late April when they finally started to process all my paperwork. Ooops, laptop not ready, background check takes 10 days, you can’t start til May 10. UNPAID WEEK OFF. CHA-CHONG.
Now, basically the same thing has happened to shane, with just a little more fuck-you sprinkled in. Every month for the past 9 months, they have waited until the LAST DAY of the month to tell him that his contract has been extended and he has a job for another month. GROSSLY inconsiderate. Yesterday, his contract ended for real, and they want to hire him full time, but of course that pesky paperwork hasnt been processed, so shane gets to sit out for an UNPAID WEEK OFF. WTF?!?!?!?!?! This silver lining here is that they originally told him he couldn’t take tomorrow off for my birfday, and now they have to give him a week off because of their own fuckery!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
But seriously, unpaid weeks off? That is not cool. Guess we need to hurry up and get to Vegas.

I used to LOVE Thursdays. I think this started back in the late 80’s with the placement of Family Ties, Cosby Show, and Cheers in the Thursday night lineup. L.A. Law too. Plus, Thursday is Friday eve! Over the hump and cruising into the weekend. In college, we always came out STRONG on Thursday nights, and I dare say, Thursday night was generally funner than Friday. In recent years, Thursday night has been a solid happy hour, and could even include the excited relief of being followed by a work -from-home Friday.
These days, Thursdays just make me think of our dead pet. 6/10 was the wost Thursday ever. We still have no ashes.
BUT, if anyone could ever turn this Thursday frown upside down, it is KIMMERS!! She will be here to kickoff birthday month in T-minus 13 hours!!! YEAH!!! YAY!!

OMG is there anything more annoying than those stupid vuvezelas? It is like constantly hearing a gnat buzz in your ear. I made 2 trips to the pub to watch soccer yesterday. During the USA game (you know, the one where we were TOTALLY RIPPED OFF by the referee?) some dude at the pub kept blowing his vuvuzela and I was RILLY hoping that he would get his ass kicked by an angry mob. I guess no one had the energy at 11 in the a.m.
These things should be illegal.

Of all of the horrible tragedies I am shaking my head about these days, this one really hits close to home…21 year old Yeardley Love was murdered at the hands of her scumbag on/off hookup George Huguely IV, just weeks shy of their graduation from U.Va. And, having heard that a female UVA student was murdered by her psycho boyfriend, if you had asked me to wager my life savings betting on which sport the asshole played, it would have been a doubtless guess of LACROSSE. You have never seen such a crazy sense of entitlement among 18 year old boys. Let’s just say the stigma of the Duke Lacross dicks was not far from the mark AT ALL.
So in the midst of all this Joran van der Sloot bruhaha, it occurred to me that we hadn’t heard an update on his fellow scumbag George Huguely IV. Sadly, I was distracted by the death of my pet on June 10 when George was supposed to have his court date. Looks like the court date has now been postponed until October. I hope he rots in jail til then. No special treatment. (Also, does he have an alibi for the night Morgan Harrington disappeared? Just askin…….)

Pepper JonBenet T.W. (May 1998 – June 10, 2010)
Mommy’s Prettiest Princess finally heard last call sometime in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Ever the loyal pet, she chose to kick the bucket under the sofa while I slept on it. She even left her pretty little tail sticking out so we could find her easily. I LOVE HER SO MUCH.
I am still working on my full blown internet eulogy, including Pepper’s life in pictures, but shane and I would like to thank you all for your love and concern while we cope with this loss. We are genuinely touched by all of the love. You guys are the best!
