Did you know…

California Penal Code Section 422

Any person who willfully threatens to commit a crime which
will result in death or great bodily injury to another person, with
the specific intent that the statement, made verbally, in writing, or
by means of an electronic communication device, is to be taken as a
threat, even if there is no intent of actually carrying it out,
which, on its face and under the circumstances in which it is made,
is so unequivocal, unconditional, immediate, and specific as to
convey to the person threatened, a gravity of purpose and an
immediate prospect of execution of the threat, and thereby causes
that person reasonably to be in sustained fear for his or her own
safety or for his or her immediate family's safety, shall be punished
by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed one year, or by
imprisonment in the state prison.
   For the purposes of this section, "immediate family" means any
spouse, whether by marriage or not, parent, child, any person related
by consanguinity or affinity within the second degree, or any other
person who regularly resides in the household, or who, within the
prior six months, regularly resided in the household.
   "Electronic communication device" includes, but is not limited to,
telephones, cellular telephones, computers, video recorders, fax
machines, or pagers.  "Electronic communication" has the same meaning
as the term defined in Subsection 12 of Section 2510 of Title 18 of
the United States Code.

Sick of pretending everything’s all right

… because it’s not

Yep, gonna be a bear

No reason to be rude

Just because you blame nature for your personality flaws, doesn’t give you an excuse for being rude. It doesn’t give you a free pass for being mean whenever and to whomever you so please.

It means you have to work even harder, be more self-aware, and most importantly concentrate on developing empathy.

I lost my best friend because she is willing to let her husband get away with such a personality flaw.

I am so happy that I have my hubby. Compared to my former best friend’s husband, my hubby appears to be a doormat. But he is not. He is remarkably kind, sympathetic, empathic, understanding, loving, and will speak his mind and stand up for himself when required to – he would never go out of his way to treat people poorly and then tell them to deal with it because that’s just how he is.

Winter is a pathetic excuse for a man, and will never be able to keep a friend unless he learns it’s just not right for him to treat people the way he does. And his wife, well, unfortunately, she is becoming just like him.

And I’m the one that introduced them.

I hope that somehow they’re able to find happiness.

Wallowing?

Chocolate and Xanax works wonders!

An “EWWWWW!!!!!” Moment

An “EWWWWW!!!!!” Moment

As Lacey and I were driving home from the beach (we had the windows down and were singing our little hearts out with Gretchen Wilson), some guy driving by yells to me that I’m cute and is there anyway he can get my number. I just shook my head “no.” Then he said, “I love your breasts.” I, in turn, rolled up the car window.

Suffice to say, Lacey had the laugh of her life. I was shocked and mortified.

Too bad he wasn’t cute…

Absense makes the heart grow fonder

I haven’t seen my husband since Wednesday morning, and I most likely won’t see him until 1 or 2 am Sunday morning, or maybe not even until 8 am Sunday morning.  I’ve been staying at my grandma’s house in Ontario because I’ve been working late nights and we needed to save money on gas.  Fortunately the hubby had Wednesday and Thursday off from work.  He is taking the bus to work today and tomorrow.  I’m glad we had some time apart because we’ve been bickering a lot lately, but three days!?  And when we do finally get to see each other it will be Mother’s Day.  Hmm, think mom will mind if we ditched her?

Trip Down Memory Lane

Friday, April 21, 2006

Currently Listening Songs You Know by Heart By Jimmy Buffett see related Why Don’t We Get Drunk… During both my trips to work and back home on Wednesday, I heard Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” on two different radio stations, Jack FM and KZLA.  The second time I heard the song I thought to myself, “There has to be a reason why I heard the same song twice today.” There was… Yesterday afternoon (at work), one of our customers, Mike,  called asking if anyone would be interested in VIP tickets to the Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefers Band concert at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre in Irvine.  Pam and Nancy both already had plans so that left me.  I did already have plans to go to Disneyland, but I rescheduled them for tonight and was even given the opportunity by my boss to be able to cut out early.  I text messaged my friend Lacey, “Do you like Jimmy Buffet?”  Her response was “yeah, y?” Then I called her on the phone, “Can you call in sick tonight?” “Sure, why?” she asked. “Because we’re going to the Jimmy Buffet concert tonight.” “Oh hell yeah I’m calling in sick to work!” I wasn’t able to concentrate on work for the rest of the day, luckily things have been slow in the office so nothing was terribly affected.  I researched directions and the Orange County toll roads.  I was determined to be prepared. Debbie, Mike’s sister, dropped off my tickets just before 4.  She was also going to be attending the concert. I left work, changed my clothes, picked up Lacey and we headed off.  After a couple of detours along Euclid getting to the 71, we finally were able to reach the freeway via Central Avenue.  Then the 91 to the 241 (toll $2.50) to the 133 (toll $1.50) to the 405 and we were at the ampitheatre by 5:56.  The venue opened at 6:30 and the concert at 8:00. With our VIP tickets we were able to park in VIP parking and have access to the VIP lounge with Happy Hour and appetizers.  Seeing as how everyone else was enjoying the delectable libations, Lacey and I decided we would have some of our very own: 40-ounce Smirnoff Ice with our appetizers of mini-turket palm sandwiches, crab cakes, sweet and sour meatballs, and beef flautas (the best flautas I have EVER had!); and Hurricanes in plastic guitar glasses 1-1/2 feet tall.  We bought some souveneirs (a $10 red tote bag for me and a t-shirt for Lacey), signed up for some contests, and still had half an hour before the concert was scheduled to start, so we chose to check out our box seats – Box 8A, row 1, seats 3 and 4 – and our very cute usher (whom I named UsherBoy for the night).  We didn’t want to just sit around in our seats for the next 28 minutes, so we returned to the Vendors, saw some more sights, sampled cinnamon nuts (almonds and pecans), and bought a bag of kettle korn.  Then we returned to our seats just before 8 and discovered that we had a waiter named Michael ready to serve us (my name for him was Cute-WaiterBoy), we ordered fries (Lacey) and a diet coke (for me). Then the concert started.  It was awesome!  Jimmy came out in a red shirt unbuttoned to a shirt underneath, shorts, and barefoot.  The songs were fun, people were dancing, singing.  There was hint of cheeseburgers, margaritas, and marijuana in the air.  People wearing cheeseburger hats, parrotheads, and shark costumes.  There was even a man dressed up as a pirate.  Favorite oldies like “California Dreamin’” and “Brown Eyed Girl” were performed, and Buffet-standards like “Margaritaville, “Why Don’t We Get Drunk,” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.”  One of my new favorites is “Pencil-thin Mustache.”  (Lacey and I have decided that we MUST take a tropical vacation and SOON!) The concert ended, the crowds congested any and all exits, and then I discovered I had lost my cell phone.  We had to wait about 20 minutes before it was brought to Lost and Found, but great relief was felt when my phone was returned to my hands and we headed home. After a detour into Laguna Woods trying to find a freeway, we ended up on the 5, 55, 91, 57, 10, and finally got Lacey home, but not without a few scares on the road (mostly because I was fighting the incredible urge for slumber). I finally climbed into bed after 1 am. I am certain my weigh-in for Weight-Watchers will prove that I either gained some poundage or didn’t lose any at all.  (It’s been a bad week for points.) It was an experience I shall not be likely to forget and I’m very delighted that Lacey was able to enjoy it as well.
