A Fight with my Scissors

So..... yesterday, while taping up a package for a customer, I managed to stab myself. With my scissors. Sounds strange right??? Cut, maybe, but stab? Seriously?!? To understand fully you must know that they were my brand new, super pointy EK Success Cutter Bee scissors. VERY pointy tip on these. They come with a cover, to prevent accidents like mine. Oh, and the wound happened on the palm of my right hand. Right between my thumb and index finger. Which is a big deal, because I am right handed. Do you know how hard it was to shower today. Mitch calls it a baby scratch. It is so NOT a baby scratch!!! It bled for hours! It also swelled up, and caused bruising on like a quarter sized area of my palm. Dad was here when it happened, he made me put my hand under cold running water, and then put pressure on the cut to slow the bleeding (ouch!) Then he bandaged it up for me, with one of the only 3 band aids I have in my house (I need to go shopping). So from this point on, I vow to recap my scissors anytime they are not in use. And to not set them on the edge of the desk, where I can knock them over, and get stabbed again!

Gotta miss Amador County

So, I decided to get all dolled up today, just to drive to Jackson to see Carrie at Safeway. I knew she was working. And I miss her, plus leaving the house gave me a reason to get pretty. I love getting pretty, although I do also love sitting around at home in my jammies, with no make up on, and my hair high up in a ponytail. Mommy wanted to come with me tonight, she says she only does spontaneous things when she is with me, but since she had to be at work at 4:00 in the morning, I made her go to bed, with promises of fun the next night... (her Friday) our Saturday! Mitch also asked to go, and I really would have loved to hang out with him, but the point of my little Jackson trip was to visit Safeway, and my friends there. So he would have been bored, and I would have felt bad. Plus he came up here to do his parents tile floor, and he needed sleep, so that he can get lots done tomorrow. I don't want him to have to miss the wedding on Sunday. So I went alone. Although I think some feelings might have been hurt. I will give him lotsa kisses tomorrow (like I did in this picture, taken at the Buckhorn bar, here in Amador county!), and maybe a present when I shop.

I got to see Carrie, I miss her. And I talked to Dave Dillard. Martha was crazy on the intercom tonight. Her and Debbie were having conversations. WOW! Martha actually said she was going to kill someone.... over the loudspeaker!!!!! Me and Dave were looking at each other like what the heck is going on??? Not literally kill someone, but seriously, you don't say that! CRAZY!

I also went to the Jackson Rancheria, for a short visit to where my slot addiction was born. I turned my $20 into $50. Yay for me. I love it when that happens, I was good, and now I have a little extra to shop with tomorrow. Some cute new shoes to go with a cute new dress for the wedding. I dunno, we will see. But none of it will happen unless I sleep. So I'm off to make a bed on Dylan's floor. Night!

Not a thing!

So, nothing was accomplished yesterday as planned. I didn't even go to bed until 1:30 in the afternoon on Tuesday, and I had to get up 2 hours later to take Mitch to his alcohol is bad class. So all I wanted to do is sleep when I got home. So my inner "bossy boss" doesn't get to kick my working butt into a motivated state until we get back home from Cali on Monday, or possibly Tuesday. Oh, did I forget to mention that we left tonight for California. Yeah, I'm at moms now. We were supposed to leave toDAY, not toNIGHT, but with the sleeping and laundry, and frequent trips to my studio to check on my auctions, we got a late start, again. We never get here before midnight.

Anyways, lets get to why we are here. My cousin Robert is getting married on Sunday. He was the baby for so many years, before Diane's kids, and he is the first of us to have a "wedding", Netta was married first, but she did a parents only Tahoe wedding. Mitch also has to tile his parents kitchen floor, thus the extended visit. I didn't know we were coming up here sooooo soon, and had lotsa scrapbooking plans. I finally accepted the fact that I don't get to scrapbook for a week, or play with my new scrapbooking stuff I bought. I hate that, I always get my ordered stuff the day before we leave for Cali. GRRRRR. So since I had to push those angry feelings deep down inside. I don't wanna bitch at Mitch too much (a rhyme hehe). I decided to have fun fun fun this weekend. Like swimming and tanning at his parents, and shopping for a dress to wear to the wedding with Laura. No worries, just fun!!! Yay.

Well I'm off to snuggle with Mitchy poo. He has to wake up early. Good night!

Here it goes!

Don't look at the timestamp on this post...... I said don't. OK you caught me. Yeah it does say 4:00 a.m. So, now that that's behind us, and we are all aware that I am and will ALWAYS be a night person (the only way you'll catch me in the morning is if I am still up from the night before) I'd like to say welcome to my blog. I have never done this before. But I suppose it suits me. It's like talking to myself, I'm good at that. Only I'm writing, not talking. Like writing in my diary and leaving it out for Mitch to find and read what I so secretly wrote. I can handle that. Argh, stupid mosquito.... I smooshed like ten of them on my computer screen tonight. At least they aren't biting me. OK, sorry about that, sidetracked. Where was I? Oh yeah, my first entry. You know, I should be creating a beautiful new scrapbook page right now. I just made a birthday boy page, and I decided to do a matching girl one, since I have the paper. But instead my butt is stuck to this chair, and my fingers keep typing and clicking buttons on the mouse. It's like me, the computer and mouse are all magnets. We are drawn to each other, and it is sooooo hard to pull away.
Tomorrow.... yeppers, tomorrow is another day to make my page. I'm soooooo very bad at being my own boss. I need to be a bossy, motivating, mean boss, then maybe I'll get things done. Hehehe. yeah right! I just read this tutorial on how to make more money and stuff, and it talked about managing your time, and tracking time wasters, like "surfing the net". Hmmm, it really inspired me to do better... tomorrow!!!

Anywho, I suppose that is enough ramblings for my very first super public diary entry. I'll let you know how my "motivated tomorrow" turns out. Good night!
