That’s why I’m ignoring you.  Well, that and the fact that I couldn’t access a damn self-hosted of MU Wordpress blog for the past week or so.  Craptastic stupidity I tell you!

Anyway, I still don’t have much to blog about.  My sister and family have gone back to France.  I got a new phone. I’m crackdicted to plurk. And I still need to use my plane tickets in the next 3 weeks.

To make it worse, nothing of interest has happened politically in like 3 weeks. Not a damn thing.

I’m bored.

I want these fools to pick their running mates already so that I can start mocking the bad choice.  I think that McCain is going to go with Gov. Crist, just based on his most recent stupid shallow comments on
what his VP should look like.  And now that I’ve found that Gov. Crist has gotten engaged to his beard, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a quick wedding before the end of August.

Other than that it’s all McCain saying something stupid, the media ignoring it, McCain surrogate saying something stupid, media almost ignoring it…Media is obsession on how to cover Obama says a lot more about their inherent ignorance and racism than any of the stupid articles from the spring could have.

So, blah, blah, blah….I’ll probably post some of my silly 12seconds.tv clips out of boredom.

For the past couple of years, my husband and I have been in love with geeking out on Google Earth.  For whatever reason, we’ve never done it together.  Last night, him and the little girl devised a game.  He found our house and then they pretend to take off into the stratosphere.  Then a click of the button, they come plummeting back to Earth, but are saved by splashing into the pool.  I joined in bring the boy with me.  OMG.  We must be geeks, but that was seriously fun.  We each had our own blast off and splash down noises.  I’m sure the neighbors were like, “What the hell could they possibly be doing?”  But in Spanish.

On Tuesday my father called and Adrian put her on the phone. Now keep in mind that she’s been obsessing over “Grandpa” and carries a picture of Adrian’s (deceased) dad around. When she found out to she was talking to a real live Grandpa she was so happy. The conversation was like 3 sentences long and she recounts them:

“My grandpa said, ‘How are you?’ and I said, ‘Fine.’!”

I had to pull the kids from preschool. We couldn’t keep up with payments, since our stupid clients still haven’t paid us. I’m sitting here looking at close to $20K in invoices that should have been paid already. Life’s not fair. Our clients suck.

Got an email last week, rush job, “We’re sending out a check this week, can you get this done for us?”. Did we get it? Of course not. They owe us about $4K. From work done in March. Got an email today. “We’re going to try to get a check to you this week for $830.” What the shit is that?

So, I’m depressed. Mainly because I bought tickets back in August to go visit family for Thanksgiving. Now we can’t go. Such a shame since none of them have even met Alton. Oh, one aunt did. Still, it’s just sad. Even if we go, we have no place to stay. Well, we can stay where we usually stay, I guess it’s just that 4 people in one room with a full-size bed isn’t going to be comfortable. On top of that, we’ll still need a car to get from relative to relative. And we’ll need to eat. Okay, that’s not a big deal, we won’t go hungry. Still, for once I’d like to be able to visit home and not be broke. All the times we’ve gone back, we’ve been destitute. Once, the day we landed, the IRS put a lien on our bank accounts and drained them! Yeah, that’s out stupid luck.

So, feel sorry for me. I’m so, so sad.
