I know I'm crazy but she's insane!

Some crazy shit went down at work today.
There is someone that we work with that is just kinda crazy.
She goes through periods of being fine and happy and friendly to being somber faced, won't talk to anyone and all that jazz.
Lately she has been the latter.
She is just a genuinely negative person and creepy to be around.
Well recently she apparently made a threat about coming back and shooting a certain person("You will be one of the first people I shoot when I come back!") if she got fired.
She got fired today because of that statement.
So we now are in lockdown at work with a security guard out front.
It's just crazy.
And it's so weird, we all have this sense of panic but yet are relieved that she is gone. She truly was creating a hostile work environment.
I can't believe it. It all happened so fast.
I had been pulling invoices in the warehouse and when I came back in there was our big boss(who rarely comes in here) and he was saying something to the person about whenever she was ready.
I thought that he was just going to talk to her about why she is so unhappy here but not three minutes later she was out the door.
And I guess before she left she went into the person she originally threatend's office, grabbed her hard on the shoulders and got in her face. She hissed: "I just got fired!" and stormed back out.
Crazy.
It was actually pretty scary. They kept trying to gloss over it, saying that she wouldn't really do that and they were just taking the extra precaution to make us feel better but she is just crazy enough to do it.
We got out early as a result but I am not looking forward to going in there on Monday.

So this weekend we dropped about $350 at Michaels to feed my newest hobby of jewelry making.
Yeah, that's in addition to the fifty I already spent on eBay and will continue to spend as I add to the collections.
Regardless of that, I love making bracelets! They are so cute and funky and I love them.
I think I'm going to make bracelets for all my friends back home to give them when I get there next month.
I was almost done making a necklace with seed beads yesterday when the string slipped through my fingers and an hour of work fell onto my carpet and scattered. Not cool, so I put that away for the night.
But I did make four bracelets, one necklace and a matching set of earrings.
I think I'm about to go crosseyed too.
We also got me some new sneakers since the whole bum ankle thing happened. Rob said that I should not have a shoe wardrobe that only consists of flip flops. That it doesn't give me the proper foot support I need.
He's right of course, but I love my flip flops!!
I am currently in dire need of a root touch up. I'm talking crack whore roots here.
I've been putting it off so long that now there isn't going to be an opening to get them done before Vegas so I think I'm just going to get them done there.
That way Rob pays for them. But there is no way I can go back to Phoenix with this hair.

Tuesday Night Fights!

Last night we had plans to go to the farmers market and then hit the movies to see Strangers with Candy.
I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this before but I have a bum ankle. I have no idea what is wrong with it I just know that periodically while I am walking along it will go out on me and give me a sharp stabbing pain.
So yesterday I was looking cute in my new red avon demo shoes. They are flip flops just with a higher heel. Around ten I noticed that my ankle was going out on me CONSTANTLY. I finally took off the shoes and walked around barefoot.
I called Rob and let him know that I was in pain and asked if I had any shoes in the car. He said no.
Luckily Paula had some sneakers and socks in her gym bag so I put them on and it was better but still going out on me every hour or so.
At five thirty Rob picks me up and says: "If you want to back out on tonight I have to call Marc right now."
I said that no I was fine I just had to walk a little slower than normal.
As we get on the road I ask him if he is in a bad mood and he said yes he was. I asked why and he said something to the effect of that everytime he calls me I sound like I am mad at him and he had a bad day and blah blah blah.
I don't remember ever being mad at him yesterday let alone sounding it.
So I bit my lip and kept my mouth shut.
We get downtown and there is lots of traffic and we end up going in a circle and finally getting to a parking garage where you have to pay five dollars up front. We don't have five dollars in cash. I'm looking through my purse when Rob says: "I'll take anything."
I didn't realize the machine took credit cards so I pulled out my 20 dollar bill and Rob looked disgusted and twisted around to get his wallet from his backpack in the backseat, whipped out his debit card and used it in the machine.
The machine spit out his receipt and if fell out of reach. Rob dropped an F-bomb(very unusual for him) and cussed at the machine.
When we finally park we go up one side of the farmers market and he isn't really talking.
I stop and pick up three nose rings and then we walk back the other side.
Rob spies a music store and since we have a few minutes to kill before we meet Marc and Jenna we stop in there. He looks at guitars and I go look for music books.
Fifteen minutes later he has played a couple of guitars that he likes and we are late.
BUT he is in a good mood now.
We get to the theater and Marc and Jenna aren't there yet so Rob says he wants to go smoke. I headed into the theater to purchase food and get our seats.
After ordering a medium popcorn for Rob and a soda and hot dog for me I get into the theater(tiny!) and sit down.
Rob comes in still in a happy mood and sits down until Jenna and Marc come in.
We joke around and everyone seems to be happy.
The movie starts and Rob is giggling a lot so I am relieved that his bad mood appears to be gone.
Once the movie is over we pile out into the lobby and talk for a few minutes before heading back out.
On the walk to the car Rob is talking enthusiastically about the parts of the movie that he liked and he thanked me for going with him a couple of times.
We get to the parking garage and get in the car and we leave.
I was mostly quiet because I was tired and I figured he was quiet for the same reason.
We get home and he is in a bad mood again.
He denies being in a bad mood just saying that he has to do laundry.
I say fine and go to bed. He came into the bedroom as I was laying there watching TV and I said to him that I was sorry he was in a bad mood to which he responded: "Yeah me too."
About an hour later he comes to bed, turns off the TV and just turns away from me to sleep.
This morning he seemed to be in a slightly better mood but was still quiet and sullen.
I got an email from him ealier today that he was going to make himself get in a better mood before he gets home tonight.
I know that he is having a hard time at work right now but I don't understand what would make him swing from such a happy mood after the movie to being depressed again. There was nothing that I can really recall saying that would have upset him other than not being able to decide if we should have the top down on the Mustang or not...and if that is what set him off then it is time to get some meds buddy.
God I hate when he gets like this.
And I'm sure he'll boil it all down to how I don't keep the house clean enough or something or other minor that I am doing wrong like he always does when he is over his little bout of depression and wants to make nice again(yet still make it my fault in some way).
Ug.
In other news, the movie was okay. If you've seen all the episodes of the TV show you'll find a lot of the jokes and bits are rehashed but it was still cute. Not something I would have seen in the theater(prefering to rent it) but Rob is a huge fan of the show so we went.
Not much else going on. I can't wait to get to Michaels this weekend so I can get some jewelry making supplies. I made my first bracelet Monday night and it made me very pleased.
There are a lot of cute things I want to try but I don't have enough supplies or tools right now. Not to mention the storage space to keep them all.
Okay, lunch is over, time to go.

Sunday Recap

So yesterday Rob ran his first marathon. He did a six k from Santa Cruz to Capitola. He had a set time that he wanted to run and he beat it by three minutes. I'm so proud of him.
We picked up Marc and Jenna around six thirty at their house and headed out to Santa Cruz. As we passed by the part of the freeway I would have to drive on in the opposite direction we noted that I would not have to merge. It all one lane on to the ramp where I had to exit so I was really happy about that.
I dropped them off near the start line in Santa Cruz and started out following Rob's directions to get to the finish line.
I stopped quickly at McDonalds to pee and then headed out to the freeway. Feeling confident that I would be fine I get onto the freeway and off. Then I notice the detour sign.
Ramp closed.
Oh fuck!!!
Panic setting in as I realized I had to merge I frantically whipped around looking for traffic and thankfully there was no one approaching in the other lane. I merged into the trafficless lane and got off at the next exit.
So for the next hour I am lost and trying to get back to what the map shows me.
Every time I got to wear I thought I could find a route the roads were blocked off.
Finally I asked a cop that was guarding the barricade if there was any way to get to the restaurant that I was supposed to meet Rob at.
She said no. Great.
So I finally found a parking lot that had room(everyone was parking anywhere they could so they could walk down to the finish line) and sat there.
I messaged rob that I wouldn't be able to get there to pick him up and then I sat there surfing the net on my phone.
As I saw shuttle buses heading up the road and lots of people walking I realized that people were leaving so I headed down to see if there were closer spaces. I found one about a quarter of a mile from the barricade and waited for Rob to call me.
When he did I told him to keep on walking and let me know when he passed the barricade.
Finally they got to the car and we headed home.
All in all it was a good trip and I'm very proud of Rob.
That was the excitement of the weekend.
Now if only the heat would stop. It's getting a little ridiculous at my house.

HEAT!

I know that I have no room to talk about how hot it is out here in California. I know this because after a six year stint in Phoenix I know a little bit about hot weather. Just...hear me out okay?
In Phoenix I had central air conditioning. I never let the temp get below 76 in my house. Life was good. I went from my air conditioned house, to my air conditioned car to my air conditioned work and so on and so forth.
It is 103 outside right now.
We have NO AIR CONDITIONING here. Not even a window unit.
What we have right now are two fans that are running at full blast circulating warm air throughout our house.
Romie, who would normally spend 95 percent of his days outside investigating the landscape, digging holes and gathering ticks is now passed out on the floor in front of one of the fans panting heavily. He no longer wants to go outside.
I just got out of an icy cold shower which was heavenly bliss for the fifteen minutes I spent in it but now I am sweaty again.
We live about fifteen minutes from the ocean...I thought it was supposed to be cooler out here!!!

In other news I have to be up at five tomorrow morning to get ready so we can drive to Santa Cruz so Rob can run in his first 6K. Rob, Marc and Jenna will all run it and I'll meet them at the finish line. Rob just mentioned something about me having to go on the freeway and merge to meet them...not so sure about all that.

Okay, it's too hot to be sitting here right now.

Official

So it's official, my new domain is up and running.
I accidently let sweetlovechild expire but I think that was a good thing in the long run. Only a handful of people knew about it and I have a feeling, tho the name was completely innocent, people thought otherwise.
So not much going on right now. Rob is running his 6k on Sunday and while I am not pleased at having to leave the house at six in the morning, I am proud that he has committed to this and stayed with it.
Work is booming with phone calls but I'm still loving the stress free work life.
August will bring us our Vegas and then my Phoenix trip. I can't wait to see my mom in Vegas and I can't wait to see my bitches in Arizona!
Sorry this is so spotty but I have a lot to do to fix up the domain so I'm out.
