Made my week!

OK yeah, I hafta tell about how I got asked out the other day. It was a couple weeks ago. It was so funny. It makes me realize how glad I am that I am not out there looking for someone to hook up with. Geez, it must be brutal!! I was at home depot getting light bulbs and stucco patch (so glamourous, I know) and I was asking one of the employees where something is (of course) and I accidentally made eye contact with this guy, I had been trying not to but it's hard, I could tell he was looking at me.. I hate that. So I start walking back to find some styrofoam and sense someone behind me (not in a creepy way, just someone there) and its the same guy. Cute light skinned black guy in scrubs. He's saying "Excuse me.....excuse me" I'm like Oh crap, so being the nice person I am I turn around....

Guy:"HI, is *so-and-so*(can't remember the name) around? "

Me: "what?"

Guy:"You know, *so-and-so*.....you don't work here with her?"

M:"No, um, I don't work here" (DUH I'm not wearing an orange vest retardo!)

G:"Oh, gee, I'm sorry" stretches out hand "I'm *Sam*(can't remember the name)Its really really nice to meet you" Shakes my hand, but keeps holding it, ya know how they do "So, are you shopping for stuff for the house then? (yes, the a/c filters were the clue)

M:"Oh, yeah, just house stuff" I plop my ring hand up on the cart-my heart is pounding at this point, I'm so not clever

G: "So do you ever get over to Fridays for drinks anytime?"

M: "Ah, no, I don't. I'm just a boring stay at home mom"-giggle

G: "aw, never, huh? Well, you are a very pretty girl, it was sure nice to meet you"

M: "Um, thanks, you too"

G:"See you later"

Boy I wish I could have come up with something so snarky or funny but I was so speechless, I probably looked like a deer in the headlights. I felt like it, anyways. I know its stupid, but it was very flattering. I was looking pretty cute that day, I was all showered and having a good hair day. I coudn't wait to get home and tell Mark, I knew he'd get a kick out of it. His approach was alright, I'd give it about a 5, although the "do you work here?" line is a little corny, he just jazzed it up by mixing in a "Don't you work with so-an-so?" which is just a version of "do I know you?". I give him points for creativity and courage to just approach a potential date wearing scrubs, kind of happenstance. I seem to get hit on by the same "type" of guys (not that it happens ALL the time, but on the rare occasion) I really think its my hair (esp. when it was blonder) and my *ahem* body type. If you get my meaning.


While we are on the subject I have to add the one time last year that the SAME GUY approached me twice in about 3 months time. Once at circleK, and then down the street at Target. Same guy, same lines, he must have thought I was 2 different women. What is up with that?? I REALLLY needed a snarky comment that time but I totally blanked with shock. Talk about hilarious!!!! The only thing that bothered me was the second time I was with Sadie, I'm like, Dude, seriously. He was a cute (very cute) light skinned black guy. He had a pretty nice car too. Too funny though.


Anyway, its a funny story and it made me feel good, and we ladies ALL need a much as we can get of that, huh?? LOL

I so needed to hear this....

I was gonna post about how I got asked out on a date the other day because its an awesome story but instead I must make this post a shrine to the fabulous SKWIGG who has somehow crawled into my brain again and given me hope. I LOVE HER! I am too retarded to imbed her blog link into my post so you'll just have to click on her from my links list if you want to read but I just really needed her wisdom, and there it was. Love it. Its the "Kick me" question.

I'm ready (and I mean physically as well as mentally) for Vegas 2 days early. Ready, Ready, Ready right now. Lets go already. WOOO HOO!

And the prize is......

Its a trip to fabulous Las Vegas!! I'm so excited! I didn't actually win it, and I probably dont deserve it for any particlar reason, but we booked it yesterday. Mark is the best, he loves to do spur of the moment quickie trips and this was perfect. How can you pass up 50 bucks for a night at Excalibur??? Nope, ya can't. We dont' really gamble in vegas, we go to eat. Well, let me rephrase, Mark goes to eat, I tag along and eat some stuff too. We have been known to spend 2+ hours at a good buffet. This time around it will be seafood. YUMMO! I'm just hoping I get a chance to wear my awesome lepoard print pumps with a peep toe. They are HOT. I'm working hard to fit into the jeans that go with them. I'm just excited that I get to go somewhere, even if its only for 36 hours. Anyway, we are going Monday morning till tuesday night, thats what Mark has off so it works perfect for a cheap trip. Between today and tomorrow I will have earned all the money for the trip by doing hair...go ME!!

I went to spinning again today, it was pretty good. Eating was so-so, I threw together a spur-of-the-moment "WOO HOO LAST DAY OF SCHOOL" party for the kids and a couple of their friends. We had some junk food (stuff I never buy) and I had a little, but nothing horrible. I was too busy doing hair to really eat.

Anyhow, school is out, hopefully I won't kill any children over the next 2 months. The gym is gonna save me!!!

I've been hacked

Well this sucks the big one. My bank card has beeen compromised AGAIN. This is the 3rd time in 4 months. I've gotten new cards, new accounts, but someone keeps doing it. Obviously someone has me flagged as a target and is going to hack into anything I have, so that sucks. I just hope its not someone I know. It just too much in a short period of time for it not to be someone who knows me. But then I think....OK If they knew me they would know I have no money...so why bother?? Steal from someone who actually has something to steal, ya know? I got a couple of credit card application rejection notices in the mail, that I didn't apply for, so I'm sure my whole identity is stolen if they are doing that too. I know it all has to be stemming from losing that stupid folder with all my important papers in it. I really think someone came in the house and stole it. They have my ss# (and of the kids, too, but not Marks, his is here thank goodness)so I have to do checks into all of us. I realized it was missing right about the time my account got hacked the first time. I'm not sure how you make a connection to the SS cards and my checkcard, though. Thats where I think its someone who knows me. Especially since I've changed cards 3 times and it keeps happening. I would think it would be my online banking, but that really dosen't connect to my actual card. Its so wierd. I don't buy anything online, and this new card has a whole new account, and I haven't even had it long enough to pay bills with or anything, and it still got used by someone else. The whole thing is so frustrating.

Solution: Old school. No bank account, the few things I have to do through the bank Mark will take over, and I'm going cash only. If someone wants to steal my money they will have to do it the old fashioned way and pry it out of my fists. I'm really pissed because it is so convenient to do bill pay and paymnts over the phone, but I have to go back to the old way I guess. Does anyone have any advice, who has been through this before? It sure sucks.
