I could never be a lesbian
In my office we have a few lesbians and one couple even works together here. I couldn’t do that either, work with my spouse.
I saw one of the partners around the office and it got me thinking about lesbianism (is that even a word?) and why I couldn’t do it. I know that when women live together their periods sort of synchronize. Living at home it was that way for my mom and I. Same thing when my teenage cousin lived with us and shared my room. Can you imagine TWO bitchy women bleeding at the same time? Fuck me. No thank you! I’m a bitch all by myself when its my time of the month but to have to be nice to another bleeding bitch at the same time? Don’t think so.

We are whimps
That’s right. I said it. WIMPS.
I just dropped my girls off at school and the temperature was a balmy 53 degrees right now. I had three shivering girls in the car screaming for the heater. I had the heater on in the house, too.
I’d never survive a winter outside of CA. Never. I hate snow. I don’t mind cold too much just not snow.
My name is Cece, I’m from CA and I’m a wimp in the cold. Now I’m off to crawl back in bed for two more hours before I make attempt #2 at getting up and getting ready for work.

11/30 – Buy 2.5 books of stamps
12/2 – Mail out of state Xmas cards
12/2 – Buy Xmas tree

Office birthday celebrations
The other day we had a girl in our department who had a birthday. She got to work and her cubicle was decorated with streamers and balloons. I want to say one of her friends came in early to do it.
Know what pisses me off? My birthday is in July so I’ve never been one of those kids who was in school when it was my birthday so that meant my mom never came to class with cup cakes and shit like that. No, my birthday came and went and none of my school friends knew any different.
I thought when I was grown up and working that it would be different. But its not. I’ve never came into work and found my cubicle decorated. No balloons and shit for Cece. Even when my sister worked with me I don’t remember her decorating my cubicle. That bitch. She might have once, but if I don’t remember it what does that say?
Am I doing something wrong? Am I not fucken nice enough or popular enough to get balloons and shit at my cube for my birthday? Or in order to get shit like that I have to be the office social butterfly?
So here’s what I propose, I say on July 17, 2008 at 12pm Pacific time, you all get on your computers and throw me an Internet birthday party! Mark your calendars, Ho’s, and don’t say you weren’t invited! I won’t tell you what size I wear but I will tell you I do accept gift cards.
P.S. Its a BYOB party!
A meme about ME!
Terry at Road Rage tagged me for this. I don’t think I’ve done this one before so here I go!
I’m suppose to use one word, for each letter in my name, that describes me. So here goes what I think describes Cece:
C- Caring. I think that really describes who I am.
E- Energetic. I’m always ready to go on a whim. I’m always ready to do SOMETHING!
C- Cautious. I don’t trust and love easily, but once I do its a pretty strong bond.
E- Engaging. Well, I think I am. lol
I’m not going to tag anyone but if you want to play along leave me a comment so I can check yours out!

I think I need down-time
Phew. I’m exhausted. I’ve been out of work since 2:30 on Wednesday and I’m ready for a day of doing nothing!
Wednesday: Cleaned house then went to party at my sister’s house.
Thursday: Got out at 10am and went Christmas shopping with my sister. Came home to make 10 pounds of taters and the go to my Grandpa’s for the day and didn’t leave until after 10pm.
Friday: Went Christmas shopping with a hangover. So not fun but I did it anyway. Came home to nap and later was up waiting for Mister to get home from the hospital.
Saturday: Out at 8:30am to Christmas shop with my mom again. Took the kids to the movies then ended the night back at my Grandpa’s house having a birthday dinner for my 18 year old cousin.
Sunday: This is the first day I have stayed in bed past 6am in the last week. I’m all stuffy and puffy from crying last night.
We’re suppose to go to the hospital but Mister is still in bed so I’m not sure if we’ll make it this morning or not. I just want to sit around the house, watch the two DVD’s I have in from Netflix and veg. The only place I want to go is to a restaurant, by the mall, for pasta. Then back to the couch! lol Tomorrow is back to work and back to school for my girls. They’ve been out of school for a week and are going to have a hard time getting up at 6am tomorrow morning. Oy.
Quick post b/c I have to go
Update on my MIL, they found a tumor in her brain. They’re going to try to shrink it w/medication and if that doesn’t work then she’ll have to undergo surgery to remove it. Mister said this tumor was removed 20 years ago but its grown back.
He said she sounds optimistic and in good spirits. He sounded good when I spoke to him but I’m a fucken mess. I can’t handle the thought of loosing my Grandma and possibly my MIL in the same year.
They can’t operate on her now b/c she’s not strong enough. HOpefully we’ll know more over the next few days.
Gotta go.

I survived Black Friday!
Phew! Exhaustion I tell you! Thanksgiving turned out to be pretty good. We were at my Grandpa’s house and had a great night. After the food was done we sat around the table talking and hanging. Then someone got the idea to play a game so my Grandpa pulled out Toma Todo and we played that for awhile. Mister won a few “pots” and came home with about $5 in winnings, which was dumped right into our vacation savings jar!
I was pretty tore up last night and felt like SHIT this morning! But hey, I made a commitment to my mom and I still took her butt shopping. We were at Starbucks just after 5am and in line at Target at 5:15. I scored on some pretty good DVD’s and clothes for the kids. From there we hit K-Mart but they didn’t have what I was looking for so we did a drop off of our bags at my parent’s, got breakfast at Jack in the Box and headed to the mall.
At the mall I scored at JC Penny’s! I got Drama Queen a jacket like this one but in tan. It was priced at $50 and I paid $20 for it! Then I picked up a sweater for my little cousin and paid $9 for a $30 sweater!
We hit a few more stores at the mall and were leaving just before 11am and finished for the day. Mom and I picked up my girls and my Grandma and went for lunch at a Mexican joint near our house. Margarita on the rocks, por favor! As soon as I got home I put on some stretchy pants, pulled my hair up and went to sleep for a few hours!
It looks like Mom and I will be going out again tomorrow morning at 7am. I’m almost finished shopping for Drama Queen now I need to work on The Snitch.
We also got a call that my Mother-In-Law is in the hospital. Mister is with her right now. I just hope its nothing too serious. All he told me when I called to check on her is that her blood pressure was very high and they’re keeping her overnight. Keep her in your thoughts, please.

I need to snap out of it!
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I’m in a down mood today. I was fine earlier then all of a sudden I’m in a funk. I hate to say it but Mister put me in this mood. He didn’t do or say anything to cause this mood but somehow he put me here.
Could it be that I got home from Christmas shopping at 12:30 and he was STILL in bed? Could it be that as soon as he got up he got on the computer? Could it be that now he’s gone from the computer to the COUCH!? Could it be he just ruined a brand new baking pan I bought yesterday? Could it be that when I needed to escape by putting on my iPod and making mashed potatoes he keeps calling me to look at this or that on TV?
I hope by the time we get to my Grandpa’s house that I’ll have snapped out of it. Happy Thanksgiving!

I keep watching the clock
Its only 1pm and I’ve been ready to go home since 8:30 this morning! I’m at work, but not working today. I did talk to my supervisor and she is letting us out early today, just don’t know what time yet. Arrrrg!
I went out at lunch to run a few errands and fuck me if the markets aren’t NUTS right now! Sue was right, all the wives sent their husbands to the store! Oh and was this summer boring or something? I ask because EVERYWHERE I turn I see another pregnant woman! Holy hell people go camping or something!
So tonight I’m going to stay home and be domestic godess I am can be. I’m gonna bake up some lemon, cream cheese bar thingies I found online. Wish me luck that they look better than the pumpkin rolls my sister and I drunkingly baked on Monday night. I bought some beer and we’ve got DVD’s arriving in the mail today so it’ll be a low key night. Gotta get ready for family overload tomorrow!
Tomorrow will be spent at my Grandpa’s house with my Dad’s family. Last I heard all these old guys, my dad, uncles and Mister, will be playing a game of Ghetto Football. Don’t know what that is? Its when a game of football is played in the MIDDLE of the street! Niiice. I’ll be sure to get some pictures of that to blog about.
I think I’m going to bring some stuff to make mix drinks tomorrow and hang with my aunts. But not too late because you all know I’ve got to be up at 4am to go shopping on Friday! Woohoo!
