1/31/2011 - Just Another Bitchin Monday

So it's back to work after snow/icegate 2011.  Thank Goddess I was working from home the day it started because the idiots around here were even BIGGER idiots. If you can't drive in the crap, STAY HOME!  It took my friend 2 hours to drive her 10 minute ride home.  Insane.

We lost power for almost 24 hours and let me tell you, that's when being on a well sucks.  No power  = no water and no water = stinky me!  The hubby stole over to his moms and took one under the premise of "I'm going to shovel her driveway".  Thanks for inviting me and the tween honey.  Power came back so I immediately jumped in the shower. 

Let me admit something here - I am obsessive about shaving my legs as in, I have to do it every day.  So even though we had no water, I had a razor, shaving cream and a bottle of water.  Who cares if my pits smelled like tacos I had smooth legs dammit.  I have since invested in a gigantic bag of baby wipes so I can take what my husband calls a "whores bath". 

Anywho - we're suppose to be getting more ice tonight and I will be prepared in case the power goes out again.  I have a 5 gallon bucket of water next to the shower so I can....wait for it....shave my legs. 

So here's hoping the weather people are wrong and maybe we'll just get some rain.  Of course I would like to have an unscheduled work from home day.

1/18/2011 - What the Bitch?

So, I was off for a week because our oldest daughter and her boyfriend were home for a visit.  Loved seeing them, really.  However, some things never change.  She's still a slob.  I don't even want to know what her apartment looks like because she constantly left a trail of everything behind her.  Our 13 year old is neater!  I mean, when your teen is saying, "MOM, she's making my room a mess", there are issues.  I was having flashbacks to her teen years where she'd sneak downstairs in the middle of the night to get food (like we didn't feed her), only to find the bowls, cups and papertowels in the closet or under the bed.  All I can say is, I'm looking VERY forward to her having her own daughter and the inevitable phone call saying, "I don't know how you did it Mom."  I can dream, right?  Still, love her and glad I got to see her.

Fast foward to this morning and I wake up to a freaking skating rink outside the house.  Of course I'm up at the crack-o-dawn so school closings and working closings usually aren't listed.  So, I drank my coffee and got ready for work.  Just as I'm getting ready to leave we get a 2 hour delay.  Um....you didn't know an hour ago that it was slicker than snot outside?  I waited a few hours and then dragged my ass into work.  Good thing is, it's a short day now and I work from home tomorrow. 

Beginning the Bitch 1/7/2011

This actually started out as a joke, "if I had a blog I'd call it the bitchin bitch".  Then I realized, I really have a lot to bitch about.  Will anyone care enough to read it?  That's another bitch for another day.

Are the weatherpersons EVER right?  I mean, who gets paid to be wrong 95% of the time?  Most all of us would get fired for being wrong even 1/2 as the time.  I could drink 4 margaritas and still have a better chance at predicting the weather - then of course I'd have to go to sleep because I've never had 4 margaritas before.  I swear, if they tell us to expect a dusting of snow, we get a freaking foot!  The only time they've been right, in the DC area, is last year when we got 3 feet of snow.  Helen Keller could have predicted that! 

I swear the weatherpeople sit in wait of a natural disaster or bad snowstorm because they ALL the attention is on them.  Who's happy about a tornado or hurricane?  They practically orgasam over it. 

I should say they're all that way, but it sure as hell seems like it.

Ok, this is a short and not so sweet first Bitch post.  Enjoy
