West Virginia, land of opportunity

I don't mind living so close to West Virginia, as long as I don't venture near Walmart. And we typically never have to visit unless we are driving through to somewhere else or decide to hit some antique stores. I've always said they raised the speed limit in order to let people get through the state faster, and onto places where hopefully mullets went out of style about 2 decades ago. One would hope anyway.

So it always cracks me up when the governor, or his mistress, comes up with a new slogan for the entire state. Last year it was Wet, Wild and Wonderful. I hoped they weren't talking about everyone's hair styles or the fact that no one has owned a razor in 15 years. But now it seems they had something else in mind. This year's slogan:

Open for business

Who knew? West Virginia is now the mecca for prostitutes and escorts.....

And thank you for the birthday wishes! I don't feel a bit older! Ha, as if. We had a good time at our open house, getting members drunk, literally, and getting free massages from the most verbose therapist ever.....

It's The 1st-Anniversary of her 29th Birthday!

June 24th.

An early birthday greeting for my sweetheart. And while things have been hectic and crazy and we’re apart more than we’re together lately… we manage. We’re working again Saturday, on her birthday. While we’re celebrating “Customer Appreciation Day” at the business… I’ll quietly be celebrating “Nymphette Appreciation Day” – in recognition for all she does to make our business work. She’s taken it all on and is going like gangbusters. It’s called for a lot of sacrifice on both of us which was certainly not in keeping with the plans we had made when we started this venture. In that regard, it has severely limited the role(s) that I can take on to help things take-off as we truly want them to and I remain tied to my 8-to-5. Still, as with everything else that is absolutely nutso in our lives… we’ll manage it together.

An early Happy Birthday… or should I say, “Happy 1st-Anniversary,” Dollface. I love you and I’ll see you really soon.

Throwing a party, pity party

I got to spend one night at our home in 2 weeks. I promised myself I wouldn't clean when I walked in the door. I wasn't going to wipe anything up, sweep, and I sure as hell wasn't going to clean a single toilet... I made it through 15 hours without at least dusting. I did force myself to not even walk into the kids bathroom, but I just couldn't walk by the coffee stains on the wood floors, the sugar on the counter, the 1000 dead bugs on the front porch because I just MAY have gone nuts with the poison before I left, the rings in the toilets, the water marks on the chrome and mirrors, I just couldn't do it.

Now I will be spending the rest of the week preparing for our customer appreciation day on Saturday, which is also my 30th birthday. Yay me, I'm old. And also my life is boring and quite sucky right now.....

Guess what I'm doing?

Stealing wireless service from the government! Woot! There are benefits to living right across from the town hall, who knew?

I might be sleeping on an air matress, killing water centipedes the size of Texas, cooking with two pans, washing dishes by hand, and watching the same DVD's over and over and over, but FUCK, I HAVE WIRELESS for FUCKING FREE! My life is complete.


Also, sorry for the scare, I know I haven't had time to update everyone on everything and I'm sure all of my friends are wondering how and why I dropped off the face of the earth. It's just obviously been crazy. Good things are happening, we just need them to continue to do so. We were 14th in our district for new members in the franchise last month, and with only 3 more members we would have been in the top 50 in the country - VERY good for having just taken over in SUMMER when no one wants to workout. Of course we now need to make history and literally get 100 more members during the two TOUGHEST months of the year. Wish us luck. A lot of luck.

Also, Verizon again fucking sucks. Need I even tell the story? Of course not, they just suck.....

My version of hell

Three days with family, mother included, half sister, one bathroom house, two dogs I'm allergic to. Fast forward two days...

Six adults and six children, one small beach house, one bathroom, 14 hours of working at the gym plus 6 hours of driving. Fast forward two days...

One bedroom apartment, one shooting outside, one bathroom, two kids, twenty four hours a day...

I can tell you how to pack an entire apartment in the back of a Toyota Matrix, two kids included. I can tell you I cried for two hours. I can tell you I hate my life at the moment. And I can tell you I miss Mr. M. A lot.....
