Friday Flip Off's 10/8/10

Friday Flip Off's 10/8/10







Dear Friday October 8, 2010,
I hate you.  Instead of taking your sweet time to get here you rushed ahead like you were in for a big prize.  I’m not happy you’re here and I am incredibly sad that you’ve arrived.

You suck!
Ashley

Bestie’s leaving tomorrow night. I won’t see her again until late June (hopefully she’ll be here for my birthday).  I’ve got skype so we can chat.. I still need to get a webcam though.  This day got here so fast.. She told me she was thinking about moving on June 18th and when she got back from Portugal on July 31st it was all set in stone that yea, they were definitely moving and the wheels set in motion... from then on in time has just flown bye.

BBQ at her house tonight.. There will be tears, lots and lots of tears.. See, I’m crying again, I’ve been so good at keeping my emotions in check.... there goes that.  If I seem to go missing please give me a kick in the ass via email or Twitter @ChefAshbabe.  I’m gonna try my best not to lose it.. I’m not losing her, she’s just going on an extended vacation.  I told her she has to move back in 5 years, I’m hoping she holds to it.

This is my only flip of the day... otherwise it’s been a pretty decent week aside from the crazy ass weather.

Join my fellow Friday Flippers here:

That is one big fishie

I wasn't kidding when I posted that my favorite fish was Swedish.

I grabbed some at Walgreens this morning when I stopped to get milk for the office (we have a shop in the lobby, they charge $2.75 for a quart of milk, which is totally freaking outrageous.

Anyway... in this box of fish.. I got this

.. 

Looks like a harmless little fishie doesn't it... 

Except for the fact that he's twice the size as normal fishie

 That's a normal fishie.. 

Yes, I'm slightly warped.. it's why y'all keep coming back for more, lol.

The Suburban Farmers Market

I really Love the fact that there's a farmers market at the courthouse every Tuesday from September-November.   Not only is it totally out of left field (because, really? In the courthouse parking lot?) but the vendors are from some local establishments (like The Cupcake Corner) and from upstate farms.

I got myself a pound of McIntosh  apples along with a quart of some little dainty apples (I don't know what they're called, they're not lady apples but they're about the size of a Q-ball and crunchy)

They have all kinds of fresh baked bread, veggies and fruit, home made pastas and sauces and all kinds of meat.. it's great!

But, being I only had $8 on me this morning (money left over from the weekend, because I hardly ever carry cash) all I got was the apples and a quart of cider ( I love fresh apple cider).

I'm going to make something apple-y tonight.. I can't wait because this damn weather can bite me.  It's been raining since Sunday night, and it's cold and crappy.. I mean, it's cloudy, windy and only 60° right now.  I hate this weather... but then again, it's not 22° and snowing so I should really shut up and stop complaining.

So, yea.. Apples.. I'll be baking tonight.. and blogging about it tomorrow :)

Apples!

I'm really kicking myself for not getting apples yesterday when I went grocery shopping, but then again I've been nothing but disappointed in the produce I get from Stop & shop.

Searching online and the closest place to go apple picking is over an hour away.

Farmers market by work is every Tuesday, hopefully if I have cash on hand (which doesn't happen often) and I have enough time I'll stop there.. which isn't helping me now... but good enough.

I'd go ahead and order myself a FruitGuys box, but then again.. I'm kinda broke since it's the beginning of the month and all my bills need to be paid before I can think of myself. (really, I love my job, but getting really sick of being the lowest paid employee).

I have 6 days until my bestie leaves for Portugal, I"m taking Friday off so we can hang.. it's the only thing I have to look forward to before the impending doom of her departure. :(

This is going to be a very interesting week and I'm absolutely certain it will be the fastest week of my life.

Friday Flip Off 10/1

Here we go Friday Flip Off's






First off Fuck Flip off October! I wasn't ready for you but here you are.  Now as I face the impending doom of my best friend moving to Portugal she's leaving next Saturday!  It's no longer weeks, it's down to days. (Please pray for my sanity)  Bare with me if I have a nervous breakdown, I apologize in advance.

 I’d like to flip off Sealy.  Sealy Posturepedic.. You suck!  I bought a mattress 4 years ago from Sleepy’s and it sucks.. One sided no flip piece of crap mattress. My back hurts constantly and no amount of extra cushion from a memory foam mattress pad is going to make it better.  You know this thing sucks when I’d rather sleep on the futon than lay down in my own damn bed.

Flip off this damn pinched nerve in my neck/shoulder area.  I’m a rightie, so of course it’s gotta be on the right side, and don’t even ask about the 5000000 times I have to answer the phone here and when I’m holding the phone on my shoulder while I take messages... ARRGH!

Flip off Rain! It’s been raining almost all damn week and it almost totally screwed with my plans to hang with the girls last night... the 60MPH winds were scary as hell driving home in, but we made it.

Y'all KNOW there can't be a week without some kind of bullshit nonsense from the assmonkeys upstairs.. so FLIP OFF Landlord, bitchface wife or one of the 2 punkass kids that thought it was OK to listen to music/TV/play video games or whateverthefuck that noise was coming through my bedroom ceiling until 1:30 am last night while I was trying to sleep. Yes, I didn't get home until 11, but honestly it's none of their goddamn business and if I'm home By Law they need to have courtesy after 10pm, which (of course) they do not. so, Flip off asswads.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so Feel your Boobies and together we can kick cancer's ass.

It's the beginning of a new month so lets Kick it..
