Holding YOU all acountable. OR Wordy Wednesday Posted on Thursday.

Uhm so do you remember when I said that Sundays were going to be about me and my working out? Yeah did you notice that the Sundays after I said that, there was no mention of my weight or anything? HELLO? You were all supposed to hold me accountable! I can't be left to my own devices here people!
So I haven't done anything. I tried. And now I can see how terrible my core really is because bagging groceries for 7 hours sucks. And I was kinda loosing my breath last night because my back hurt so stinking bad. The muscles were burning. BURNING!!!
So what if it's "wordless Wednesday" here's my words! (Edited because I didn't get this posted till today, Thursday)
Ring- Jesse decided out of the blue on Monday to take me to a jewelry store and pick out a ring. He gave me a limit, a rediculous limit and I blew right by it. The ring is on layaway perfect poor people's love story. There was no proposal linked to the ring. We haven't discussed that part. I have been told by my eldest sister that the wedding will happen "when your sisters get off their asses and plan it." and I added "and pay for it." Because I am not paying for it. We just had to put out money for the damn ring.

Poop- Oscar was doing really good about pooping in the potty all by himself. And then something went terribly wrong. And four days now pooping in his unders. Nothing makes me gag quicker then poopy unders. Well there is something but I won't go into it. I hate poop.

Work-Has been a lot of fun. I like all the people I work with and I have to say that there isn't a lot of good dental hygiene going on at the store. But they're nice people! Oh and having one car for three working people sucks balls. big time.

Crap, I'm already out of words. Maybe this is why they call it wordless Wednesday, because no one has anything to say.

If I won the Lottery...

First off I promised that once I got paid I would start playing the lottery...I did.
And this is what I would do with my winnings....
First I will be selfish, these are the selfish things I'm going to be doing:
Paying off all our debt.
Buy a house in the old neighborhood and remodel it to what I want it to be and decorate it sensibly. Not lavishly. I will not pack my house with shit just because I have money.
I will however have a gigantic garage.
Hybrid Tahoe
Nissan Skyline
Chevy Camaro
A big ass RV
Then while the house is being remodeled we would take a vacation and see all of my friends. ALL of them.

Second I would give my family the following:
Pay off all of their debts.
Buy Barb a house and a car of her choice.
When I say debt I say house payments too.
And if they don't have a house I will buy one, and pay their taxes.
(listen don't talk to me about "taxes" and all, I know the stipulations this will get worked out seriously if I did)
Okay back to it.
I would also buy them transportation of their choice, and pay their bills for at least 5 years.
I would also fund any kind of random "biz" they got into...okay that is a lie.

For my mom and dad...
I would pay off everything. Absolutely everything. I would buy my dad an old corvette that he's been wanting and fund the whole thing to re-build it. I would give my parents anything they wanted. I would basically set up an account and just pay all of their bills all the time. Just so they would not have to worry about anything anymore. Oh and I would let my mom shop OFF the sales racks. So she wouldn't have to wait for that shirt she loved to go down to $15 from $45.

When it comes to my friends this is what I would do. Since most of my friends went to college, and grad school and med school and law school. I would pay off ALL of their student loans. And then I would pay for all of them to gather at least once a year somewhere for a yearly reunion. And pay for everything.
They would get anything they wanted. I would also pay their bills for them for at least a couple years if they needed me to.
Leslie and I have a special arrangement since we've talked about this. I would buy a store for us, a yarn store/scrapbooking store. But we wouldn't sell anything, we would just have it to have all the merchandise. Well we would sell stuff if people came into the store. But we wouldn't try to sell anything. Oh and our store would be called: "Yarny-Yarny Cut-Cut" (I have copywrited that so don't try and steal it, I know you want to!) We also have an arrangement that I would buy her a house, and the taxes on it. And give her a monthly allowance. (She better do the same for me if she wins the lottery)

These are the places that I would travel to if I won the lottery:
First to NYC to visit my best friend V and just go on a crazy spending spree.
Then to Africa on a safari, even though I'm shit scared of gigantic bugs, but I want to go to the Cheetah Conserve and help out. I would also donate a ton of money to that program.
Then I want to go to Japan, because well, why not?!
After that it would be a big trip around Europe.
Okay maybe just a big trip around the world. That sounds good.
When I finally get back to the states I will travel around in my big ass RV visiting friends and going to all the famous haunted places in the US.
And all the famous Steak Houses. I am going to just watch the travel channel and go where ever it tells me to! Like all the best water parks.
Oh! I would also take my ENTIRE family and shut down Disneyland for 3 days. Then we would head to Florida and see which one is better Disneyland or Disneyworld.
And now that I have this all down and out to the world I am holding myself to it.

Offensive Thursdays?? Or...topics suggested by Leslie

(If your in a hurry skip down to the end for the important update)
I need something to write about on Thursdays. I got confused and almost did my "list" on the wrong day! So I figure since last Thursday I wrote about something, that might have been offensive, but then it ended up not being offensive because I was scared to put the offensive part in, I would try it again. But the stupid blogging blog has me in a choke hold. I don't know even know where I would start to be offensive. I'm just not that person. I'm also not a person that gets offended very easily. Except by big things like: bigotry and hypocrisy. Those two things really offend me.

Leslie gave me some blog ideas here they are: unicorns doing somersaults and million dollar homes not having laundry hook-ups.
Can you imagine a unicorn doing somersaults? I think that would be physically impossible but not impossible for a mythical creature such as a unicorn. But I think that the horn would get stuck in the ground and then it would do an awkward head stand. And now I'm picturing an upside down unicorn, with its big ol' butt sticking up in the air, I bet it would be pissed so its legs would be kicking all crazy like. Then I think another mythical creature would have to come to its rescue like an elf or something, but the elf would have to bring friends because just one elf could not help a unicorn in this situation.

And now a word to the rich: If you are buying a home that costs you over a million dollars maybe you should make sure that is is move in ready because really? Do you want to re-mod a house that already cost you a million dollars? If I were looking at homes, even in the 75K range, if it didn't have washer/dryer hook ups I would move on to the next. I don't even like renting houses or apartments without w/d hook ups.
I also saw one of those HGTV shows were the people were moving into a 600K house that didn't have updated appliances. I'm not talking about last years models I'm talking 80s models. I would move on, because really you're spending THAT much do you want to put even more into the damn thing?! My million dollar home would be move-in-ready, and if not I wouldn't buy it. I think though if I had a million dollars to spend on a house I would build from scratch and it would end up not costing me that much and it would have it's own energy source. Also I have beef with those 600K people because they won the lottery and then they remodled the house that they were in and then they moved out, to a house that cost over what they made in the lotto. Is that smart? In my opinion I don't think so.
Also a word to HGTV shows that are about selling houses. Okay a word to the people going into buy the houses: "THE CURTAINS DO NOT COME WITH THE HOUSE!" Neither does the furniture! I understand if a house is too cluttered, that I get. But really? Why comment on the pictures on the wall and the couches when clearly you are not getting those with the house.

So! I waited this long to get to the good part! I finally got a call from Wal-Mart and lo and behold! I am not a terrorist, and I am now going to be an employee! Which means money! Yay! For at least 120 days, that's my "contract" ha! Unless they want me longer. But now that gives me 120 days to get done with my class and get hired for a good job. So time to get to work! I start with my training tomorrow and then on Saturday, then who knows what I'll be working. I'm a little anxious and excited at the same time.
I haven't heard the whole story yet about my dad but last time I talked to mom she said dad told my aunt that he would only have to pay a $50 deductible. But mom didn't know for sure. So I probably shouldn't say anything just yet till we know for sure. But as of now, it sounds like it won't be costing as much for his meds, which is a good thing.
