Fireworks
Did you know that it is illegal to set off fireworks in the state of Pennsylvania?
Apparrantly, the people who live in the home behind mine didn't know that either, because they have been setting them off for the past two hours.
I probably wouldn't be all bitchy and mad if there wasn't about three hundred yards of trees in the way, and I could actually see them and enjoy them instead of just hearing the irritating booms and blasts of them. But no! We have to build our house in the middle of nowhere. We have to be secluded from the rest of the population of the Poconos.
GAH!
I'm still a little cranky. I worked all day on Saturday and Sunday. I think that the Zod was the seventh circle of hell. I forgot about the sidewalk sales. Actually, I think I blocked out the sidewalk sales. And the people, oh! the people. All evil, annoying, whiny, needy, and their children were spawns of the devil. We got trashed both days, and on who was the one to close both nights? Yep, me.
Sunday we closed at 8pm, and Nicole, Rich and I didn't get out until 11pm. And we still looked like crap. Every single thing had to be completely redone. I mean every single thing. Not one item was untouched and unfolded, unhung, undone.
I hate people.
However, Nicole and I did find something out that was worthwhile. Neither of us got a break all day, and I hadn't eaten anything all day except for a milky way bar I pulled out of the box, and she had the same but a Three musketeer bar. Peej hung us out to dry, calling out because he was too hung over. I was beyond pissed yesterday when I found out that was the reason why, but now I'm not as mad. Still mad, but less. But because he didn't come in, we couldn't take a real break because we couldn't leave the floor. So at 11pm, we headed over to Burger King in the MTs. Did you know that that is the best time to go? They make your food specially for you, and it's all fresh. I've never had BK fries that crispy before.
When I finally got home, I basically went straight to bed. We went from BK to Z's cuz Nicoley needed to get some food supplies for her diet. I'm totally joining up with her after I come back from Vaycay. I went bathing suit shopping today with my mother. Ugh. I desperately need to lose those fifteen that I've been saying that I want to lose. And now, I have a goal. I'm gonna lose em and tone up a bit before JonJon's wedding. (So I'll look good for a certain someone. There, I admit it. This is all for Matt. God, I'm irritating myself while I type this. What kind of a feminist am I? Oh, yeah, I'm not one. I don't want to burn my bra or join the draft. I can vote, get a job, and go to school. I' m good.)
I did find two suits though. Two different separates suits. One is black with these silver brackety things in the straps, and the other is a black tankini with a pink graphic circley print on it. I like both. Very cute.
I'm happy, especially after having to try on a few in dept stores. What a nightmare that was. I'm happy I wasn't driving, because I would have committed some serious violations with my road rage. We finally ended up finding them in WGap, in this great factory store that makes the bathing suits right there for the big chain stores and stuff. I like my new suits. The old ones were not doing so hot. They were getting a bit faded, and the seats were a bit fuzzed from sitting on the side of the pool. I'm glad to have found the suits I did.
We went up to the pool afterward, and I gave my old blue bikini one last hurrah, before retiring it to hot tub duty. (I don't like to wear the nice ones in there unless there's someone worth it, considering it always ends up fading them faster.) And while we were in there, a bear ran past the fence! Gee thought it was a big dog, and so did I, but then it turned, and it was a gigantic black bear! I was glad that we had the fence in between him and us, even though they are (supposedly) more afraid of us than we are of him.
I'm a bit tipsy right now. Let me just say that. I had a few cocktails while at the pool, and then two glasses of wine with dinner, and I' m definately gonna feel it in the morning when I go to work. Eesh. I hope they don't fire me. If it was Nor, she's already seen me tipsy, and she's seen me worse. So she wouldn't fire me, but the lawyer, I'm not sure. I just hope that I can get through the day and not be that bad, considering I'm riding that line between tipsy and sloshy. And I'm not doing it gracefully.
So, with that, I'm going to go and play with some sparklers down by the pool. We're only allowed to do them down there, so that if anything should catch fire, we are near a body of water that will be able to put it out. So far, we haven't set anything ablaze, but we always keep our fingers crossed and dot the I's and cross the T's just in case.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!!

Happy 4th, Lady! I'm glad you at least got to be in the water. I know I appreciated it.
Drink a ton of water before going to bed. Really gets rid of that hang-over. Don't forget the aspirin either.
I do empathize working the weekend. I felt your pain. At least you didn't have to deal with people coming into the ER thinking they got shot or stabbed or that they've drank too much and puked their guts out. But the kids you had around? Yeah, they need to be put on a leash... Their parents? Locked in jail. :P
Hope your day goes better tomorrow. And I think Amy is with me on this. Do the diet. Get that hot dress. And if Matty doesn't even bad an eyelash at you? He's either gay or getting a tongue lashing from me and the Amester on how he can't pass up something as great as you.
Love ya and talk to you soon.
~M
I think he'd rather have the tongue lashing from Miss K there, but maybe I'm wrong. If he wouldn't, I concur that he might be gay, or just very, very dumb. And K wouldn't like such a boy, now, would she?
Happy (looks at calendar) 5th! of July. I'm celebrating the fourth both yesterday and next Saturday, so what does it matter?
Hubby and I were on kid duty all weekend, and boy am I glad to be home! I'm off to write now, as the best I got to do all weekend was make little notes here and there. I'm so taking my laptop next weekend.
Hope your head feels better!
amy
