So at the beginning of 2009, I weight 255. Gross. So I decided I needed to lose weight, so I started working out and what not. Now, this isn’t a story about losing weight, so feel free to pick that donut or margarita back up and continue noming.
At some point in the summer, I think it was early summer, I decided to finally use the pool at the apartment. We’d lived there a year and a half at that point. I was going to use it more but well you’ll see why here shortly.
So one day after work, I went to the pool. I did some laps and did my thing. There was this man there that had to be at least twenty years older than I. We talked about different stuff, I don’t really remember, not important. So I mentioned something about working out and needing to lose weight. Oh, at this point I was about 230. And he told me I didn’t need to lose weight, I looked great. I’m just like yea ok whatever. And he then said, “You can’t weigh more than 115.”
Half my weight. There is no way in hell, you could ever think someone weighs only half what they actually do. Now if it had been only like 20lb difference or something, I could see that. But 115 lb difference, no way. I don’t know what he was smoking or trying to pull.
Then he started peeling dead skin off his legs and just letting it go in the pool. So, that was the first and last time I ever used that pool. The skin thing really grossed me out. And that guy was just overall creepy.

Grammar Nazi
Lately, I’ve seen people complain about grammar and spelling on like twitter and facebook. Normally, I’m it doesn’t bother, but recently it really has, mainly though only through work stuff, cause ya know it should be “professional”.
I used to have this boss that always harped on others being professional. Yet, he was one of the most Unprofessional people ever. He was a stickler for spelling, yet he always spelled stuff wrong. Like, one time he had some pens made for advertising. The pen was supposed to say “Lose the pen and paper” (which how ironic to put on a pen, that you shouldn’t use it anymore.) But what it really said “Loose the pen and paper.”
One time, I emailed a vendor, and he replied back “Thnx”. Seriously. And I got an email, same vendor, different person, they said “they will sent out a new one.” And “Have a happy Firday.” What’s Firday? And how do I have a good one? The man says, Firday is a day when you don’t shave, ewww, how would that be good?!?!
My favorite, was a woman put “they were without NO computers.” On the calendar once…Double negative, so they did have computers, what’s the problem? Salesman are always misspelling words like “electrical” and other words that they use everyday.
People complain that it’s just young people these days that don’t use proper English, which yes it’s true that is a problem. But the people I work with are all old enough to be a parent or grandparent to me!

I went from this:
The Samsung Alias, which when I got the phone, it didn’t have a name yet. It was the u740 or something like that.

Suck It
So originally, I was going to post about the crazy lady in Manhattan that is a dumb bitch and refused to tell Starbucks how she wanted the bagel she ordered. But then Midwestern Mamah posted about that yesterday on her segment Suck a Fart.
I have my own person that needs to suck a fart. My neighbor. He is so immature, parties every night, loud, obnoxious, and unemployed. At one point he tried to tell us that because of his age he does this, but he’s only a year younger than I am. I have a full time job, I don’t have to drink and do drugs and play loud music every night.
Last night, as I was trying to go to sleep, he was shooting off fireworks! I’m surprised nobody called the cops on him. The man doesn’t want to call the cops on them because he doesn’t want them to do anything to our property. Fireworks are only legal July 1 – 5, as far as I know, at least where I grew up it was, might not be here. Anyway it’s wayyyy past.
One night while trying to sleep he had his music blaring, it sounded like a frickin helicopter. The man went out to ask him to turn it down. He was sitting outside, “Ohh man I wasn’t even listening to it har.” Yea, well we have to, dumbass. I say dumbass a lot when talking about him. Imagine Red Foreman saying it. So Neighbor SUCK A FART OUT OF MY ASS!!
And one of the Do’s on the list, was post lots of pics. So here is one I forgot to post yesterday:

Welcome Wednesday
So I was reading a blog today about Do's and Don'ts of blogging. And I disagreed with one point. I had written a big long post about it, but I'm not going to post it. I’ll sum it up. It said “Don’t be vulgar. That turns people off.” I would strongly disagree as I know many “famous” bloggers and blogs I love that would probably be considered vulgar, but that’s who they are and they are amazing. I was going to list a couple, but now I’m like, “OMG what if they see this and are like yuck why is this dumb person mentioning me.” Though I doubt they would cause they all seem super awesome and love to hang out with them in real life. So if you want names, I’ll list them next time.
Anyway. When I got home I got on facebook, I saw someone on my friends list mentioned a site they found that was amazing. I found this site and wow. It is great. It’s Operation Beautiful. What an amazing idea. More people definitely need to be told this. My man always tells me, and after so many years of hearing the opposite I always disagree. I want to pass on the message. Sometime soon I will. I think I’ll start with posting notes at the gym!

Huge Disappointment
Several times I’ve gone to the gym and see this:
To make matters worse…Last Wednesday, I went into the locker room and opened a locker to put my stuff in and this is what I found:
I need to find a better gym with more booze.

Tampons
So, I’m probably a bad woman for this, but I don’t keep track of when my period comes. Mostly because it comes a couple days before or after the time it did the previous month.
So yesterday, I kind of got caught off guard by it. I did have a pad in my bag, so when I noticed it, I used that. At work, there’s a big box of tampons that I use. But not even thinking when I left the building to go to the other office, I didn’t grab one. I thought of this as I was driving to the other building, but of course wasn’t going to turn around to grab one. I figured there would be a tampon machine in the bathrooms there since what public building bathrooms don’t. So I didn’t think anything of it. I get there, go to the bathroom, no tampon machine. As I’m leaving for the day, I use the other bathroom, maybe there was one there. Nope.
I had been planning on doing some swimming as part of my cardio at the gym for the day, but was starting to look like I’d have to change my plans. But, I thought to myself, surely the gym would have a tampon machine. There’s probably hundreds of people through there a day and it’s public and there’s a pool. So, I figured I might still be able to swim. I get to the gym and go into the locker room and look in the toilet area and on all walls in the locker room. No tampon. WTH! What is wrong with all of these places?!? How could they NOT have a tampon machine.
I had to ditch the pad to, no way could I work out in that thing. So of course there was lots of blood in my brand new underwear when I got home. At least they were pink so it wasn’t too bad, but still! All public bathrooms should have a tampon machine and those paper seat covers.
