This. Is. Killing. Me. Slowly. Fucking. Fuck. Fuck. That is me venting. I'm done now.

And you thought I wasn't tough.. ((flex)) RAWR!

Thanks to dear Mikey, I got affirmation that I can whoop 18 5-year old's asses! Just cuz they're smaller doesn't make them innocent. In fact, 5 year old's are less inhibited and sometimes really need to be taught a lesson. ((flexing in mirror)) I just may be the person to do some teaching. Anyone need a sitter this weekend? 18 Proof that I'm such the biker chick: WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! You can put me in a pretty white dress but you can't take the tough outta me. rock on? I mean, ROCK ON! (never mind the re-re look on my face, it's all the gritty strength coming out). Wow, I'm really not a very cute girl. The proof is to the right over there. But I'm smart (lots of 3+ letter words in my scrabble games) and I'm funny (I laugh at my own jokes, that counts for something) and my laugh breaks sound barriers, not to mention the fact that I have some fierce calves. There's some redemption for my case. Some...

A moment of fun for me in the midst of financial hell

I realize I'm being dramatic. I mean, they're just wedding pictures but I've been dying to see them since months ago! Since before the wedding, since we contracted this photographer. Obviously I'm a picture kinda gal. I'm forgetful and inattentive so I need photographic proof to remind of what went down and who was involved. Double whammy even today! I got the pics come in via FedEx after a big debacle of them being lost and then sitting on a abandoned doorstep under layers of ice and snow and then rescued and sent over to us from VA (thanks Bebs!) and we also got the wedding video in! I've been too preoccupied with the pics so far though so I'll need to check out the video tomorrow night. If I start during the day, nothing will get done and I will regret even ripping that package open. I realize this really means nothing to anyone but me (and Cowboy) but I_AM_EXCITED! Afew of my favorite pics: One of the open hallways of the resort (Dreams Los Cabos) Suppo...

Noone puts Clussy in the corner!

Ladies and gentleman, my time in the sun has come. I was plucked out of a crowd (of videos) and put in the center. Well, if the center is the demo page of a wedding videographer's website but still! I'm famous! Famous I tell you! Ok, so they probably rotate their demo videos every so often and we just happened to come up when they were updating their site. Details details. The point is, Cowboy happed upon a clip of our wedding video on the demo page of the videography company so we got a taste of our wedding video before it even arrived in our mailbox! Good Cowboy! Clussy love Cowboy long time! See, in between work these past few days (my concentration is taking a hit and I feel like an idiot at a time with my concentration needs to be sharpened), fighting with DHL over where the hell our wedding pictures/album/dvd's may be (long story, won't rehash), figuring out if we can get this mortgage loan to come through for the new house (considering the factors like, uh, ...

Fa la la la FRIDAY!

We took Skeets to run with us around Town Lake today and boy was she in doggy heaven! Town Lake is a doggy wonderland and Skeeter hadn't been out around that many people or other dogs in a long long time so she was freaking out at first, which was actually hilarious. Eventually she went with it and realized she was supposed to run with us instead of running at all of the oncoming runners and other dogs. Fun for all. We got our wedding pic slide show yesterday in an email from the photographer and I ended up watching it about 7 times already. Unfortunately, the photog uploaded the video to a free video hosting place that strips away a lot of the resolution of the video so we can't get a clear picture of the slide show but the crisp version should be coming in the mail tomorrow, along with 1600 pics! Wooooey! I'll be kinda busy this weekend being excited over all the pics. On a very positive note, Cowboy has a very strong job prospect that we're excited about so if al...

Nothing says welcome to Austin like trying to get a stay in the slammer

Ok, maybe that's a tad dramatic. Point is, Cowboy and I broke into our new home (we haven't closed on it so it's not technically ours yet but in our hearts it is and that's all that really matters) yesterday. We were trying to be patient but see, they have the new doors and locks installed so we couldn't just mosey on in and since they have the appliances in, I suppose they're trying to discourage someone going in and leaving with one of those fancy things so, they locked the doors. They forgot to lock all of the windows though. We scoped the place out, subtly trying all of the windows to see if we could find an open one when 'bingo' one budged. Since I'm the smaller of the two, ninja Clussy had the honors of slithering in through the window and ignoring Cowboy's knocks on the door for a bit while I admired our new kitchen. It was so exciting! The place looks awesome! The countertops and appliances are all in, the carpeting and tile installe...
