Adventures in Postal-sitting

I fell asleep early, around 930 or so, and now, here I sit at 2am. I have been rudely awakened by the "hamster that wouldn't die". He hasn't made noise for weeks, and now he's back with a vengence. He's found something to chew on non-stop and drive me absolutely insane . . . I must be insane if it's making me blog at 2 in the morning. I'm really wishing I had taken Min Pin Momma's advice and given him some vodka! Not really, but he won't SHUT THE HELL UP! I have to be up for work in 3 hours . . . I was thinking . . . hoping I might get more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep for the first time in months!!! I even got up and gave him his favorite treats, he hid them, and continued with the god-awful knawing!

While I'm at it . . . I hate going to the post office to mail packages. Poor Jessica gets birthday gifts, etc. months later. I've never been to the post office when there isn't a line wrapped around the corner, and they always close before I can get there. Now, though, they have this 24-hour do-it-yourself postage machine. So, this week I was mailing out something for the AOC to take on his next trip (he'll be gone for a month, think I can handle it?). I was so excited to just use this machine and be done with it. There's a little window right outside the machine where a little ugly man who scared the crap out of me sits to watch you use the postage thingy. Who knew it could be so complicated? I printed out my stamp, but then he interrupts and I guess he thinks I'm some kind of moron. He takes my already addressed and sealed envelope and sticks it in another enevolpe, making me address it again. He took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to do this, and he was feeling up my envelope the whole time. It took the same amount of time as it would have for me to stand in line, and I still hate the post office!!! I'm not a back woods Texan who needs a babysitter while I'm mailing out a package, but I guess some people are and I should be grateful that the little ugly man is there to help. I just can't believe that he was actually hired by the post office, and I wasn't!

Oh . . . .wait . . . I think I hear silence coming from Hammy's direction . . . and now I'll probably climb back into bed and be wide awake . . . thinking . . . way too much . . .

I guess you couldn't take away his chew toy, eh? Heh. Chew toy sounds funny.

Everyone at work said I should have put him on the porch, but eventually I'd have to bring him back in. I'm not prepared to search around in his cedar chips for any other little critters that might have climbed in.

The chew toy was the cage itself! This morning was a two coffee cupper.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
