They See Me Rollin.....

VIA

yepper's bliggity blog world. They see me rollin', they hatin'... the fact I got's the strep.

previous post, mentioned fire breathing infected four year old

7-10 day incubation period and I get the strep

the only difference is they issue me the "good" cough syrup

the one that prohibits you from operating heavy machinery

oh...

i also got some antibiotics too

teaching middle schoolers though, I would rather stay contagious.

downside to being sick while single

you actually have to take care of yourself and that's just exhausting.

love me some of my coworkers

quality peeps

We all decided to head up to this country bar in BFE almost Oklahoma to hear a band called No Justice on what had to be the coldest night in Texas. You'll notice I'm the smart one wearing a jacket. I would like to point out a few highlights of the night..

*barefoot girl dancing on stange and in bar area

*drunk leaner holding two, 32 ounces while his girl sashayed on the floor

*a man using the pick up line about his 24 year old friend getting out of a bad marriage to a 39 yr old.

*shemale or what we thought was one (almost 6'5) grabbing coworkers brother's butt

* almost running out of gas in BFE

*me having to pay all night because stripes up there in the photo forgot to activate her card

*J grabbing my belt loop to dance with me... I think she needs lessons on leading

*ohh 40th anniversary twinsies at VIP table. Same outfit, same hair, same hat, one boy, one girl.

*aarp groper in the cheapseats

*rapping the entire Ice Ice baby song in a country bar (we killed it btw)

and the end to an epic night

*my friend lives around here, lets go bug him at 2 am.. says J, to which we say ok! 20 minutes of driving, and can't find his house. When is the last time you were here? I was here when it was farm roads, not real roads says J. How long we replied? 6 months... Yeah, that's why nothing looks familiar...

Hilarity.

Fast forward to work next day.... Stripes thinks she's cracked a rib due to an over zealous girl pulling her to dance and J has 2200 dollars worth of damage to her car due to taking a corner too short, and I find out about 4 week marriage boy.

wouldn't want anyone else in my corner at work.

Only band in the last ten years that I have purchased their last two albums whole and loved every song on them. Do yourself a favor and see them if you can.

now accepting cats......

I feel this picture is appropriate considering tomorrow is SAD's day (see earlier post) and the news I just heard. I have a friend who has tried to set me up with two of her male friends. The first guy didn't work out because I don't fit into his target age range. He either dates 10 years younger than him, or 20 years older. He's 32, do the mathmatica's. Oh and last time we all hung out as a group he said women were horrifying. apparently his college girlfriend broke up with him that day. So my friend tries to set me up with another friend, who lets be honest flirts hardcore with me every time we hang out including the last time. Walked into work this morning, to my co-worker saying hey..... long pause.....so Boy #2 met someone a couple days after we all hang out, and is proposing to her tomorrow.  Awesome, did I mention the last time we hung out was about a month and a half ago.

Five weeks time span from introduction to marriage proposal. I'm not going to mention how long I have known Boy #2.... I'll be at the SPCA adopting cats.... in my mumu... oh did I mention my coworkers four year old, who is sick breathed on me today too. I might also be infected...

hot mess express party of one

Balloon Artist Pickup

so yeah, I apparently get picked up rather famously, and sadly, it's not famous people picking me up... I mean seriously like I would say no to Chris Pine or Tom Hardy or Ryan Gosling... Sad fact is, that is not who likes little ole' me. I apparently attract AARP members, who have retired and want a wife or a girlfriend who could technically be their daughter, even their granddaughter. 

I can see it now

Senior Discounts

Dinner at 4:30

elastic waist pants

social security checks

that might be the life

if I was 80 but I'm not I'm gonna be 30!

So this guy takes the cake, take a look at the picture below it will give you a hint as to his profession

Yep, that's right after almost 40 years in computers, he turned to balloon artistry

did I mention he's the regional manager of the DFW Balloon Artist

did i mention he's the lead balloon artist trainer

did I mention he's pushing 60.

did I mention he's balding

did I mention he works at Buffalo Wild Wings as their main balloon artist

He first made his approach to comment on how cute my friends baby was, and by the time he left he handed me his business card with his employee id number and personal cell phone number.

I think my mouth hit the floor and my friends couldn't stop laughing at me as we left.

I got picked up by a 60+ Balloon Artist

I might as well get a mu mu and 15 cats if this is how my dating life is going to go.

This is the only quote that is getting me through the last couple days. I know it's not necessarily the happiest post to be writing about, I will try and add in a video update of how I sounded and how I was picked up by a 60 year old balloon guy last week, but this is where I'm at right now. We all want to feel valued, appreciated and well that we matter in what we do. This last week, I have felt none of that and on top of it I have been sick.... yeah a trifecta of sickness,  being undervalued, and well a case of a pity party has made me one happy camper to be around... so to save you all unlike the titanic it's been radio silence around here.

I just keep reminding myself of the above quote.
