"Did That Hurt?" - Part Deux

I don't know how each year I forget that it happens. Never fails. When it starts to get nice outside and I start to wear short sleeves with no jacket or sweater, I get the "remarks".
In the past two days, since its been 80+ degrees, I have had two people ask me "Did that hurt?" and try and lift my sleeve to see my tattoo. Um. No. Please don't touch me.

My answer is always the same: "Yes, They all hurt, they are put on with needles. Lots of sharp needles and it takes a long time".

Then, they proceed to tell me that they have a heart/rose/dolphin/ying yang/name of their boyfriend "Boochie" on their ankle/butt/wrist/chest/back/shoulderblade. I say "Uh huh." And yet they still try and engage me with how they want more and they think a big alligator on their backs eating Britney Spears with a photo of their baby daddy would be really sweet. And they would get it if there was enough time/money/it didn't hurt as much".

If I am lucky, I also get to hear about who does them, what their friends have and what other kinds of "freaky" things they want to have done. Yesterday, it was bellybutton piercings. The girl really wanted to get one but heard it hurt. Hello? Its a needle being pushed through your skin on your STOMACH. Gross.

I explained how I don't wear jewelry and the two girls looked at me in horror.

"Oh, I bet your husband is happy he don't have to buy you expensive things on Valentine's Day," she says.

I reply, "We don't believe in Valentine's Day. So we don't buy presents." And I walked away while their jaws dropped. Its all just so weird.

THE house

REALTOR.com: My New House

The offer was accepted (finally) and we are moving forward. We only have 2 weeks left before our own home goes on the market. Sadly enough, we will then have to wait 2 more months to move in. It will kill me. I am sure by the time I get into that house, I will have decorated and re-decorated every room in my head. I will have paint swatches picked out and glues to sheets of paper with room outlines and furniture placement. I will have decided on what flooring will go where, what construction needs to take place, and in what order we will be fixing the place up. Poor Phil won't know what hit him.
More than anything, I am looking forward to getting this house on the market so we can relax again. We aren't the most clean people as far as clutter and dust, so this is a challenge. Throw the 2 year old into the mix and its almost down right impossible. I just want to rid myself of boxes, stress, phone calls and the clutter of having everything in flux. At least once these people that buy my house have it inspected, they will not have to get back in for another month or longer. Then we can really let things pile up, boxes, moving stuff, etc.
I love to be busy, but not this busy. There is such a long list that I tend to do things like blog about it rather than take action.
Poo, must run. I have brought on my own guilt.

I promise I am still here.....

But I am so busy its stupid. When I have time to update I draw a total blank on what to say. There is so much going on.

Still looking for a house. Lost the one I really wanted by $2500. Its still for sale, but the butthole that is the realtor wouldn't negotiate anymore. So we lost it and he is a penis breathed twat. (Boy, I feel better now).

Vivienne is almost back to normal, but as I type this she has been in her crib for 1.5 hours talking, not napping. That freaky screeching thing that took over her body vacated sometime last week. Its been kinda nice since then.

Phil almost has more work than he can handle. You all remind me of that next time I freak out because there is no money.

Sister is off the wagon again. I leave her a message a day telling her that I think she is braver and stronger than she thinks and she needs to go to meetings. I am pissed, upset, mad, sad, scared, disappointed and everything else rolled into one.

Now I gotta go. I have so much to do in this house, its stupid.

An Update just for Stacey

Well, it seems that I have been busy and neglecting my blogging duties. Isn't is nice to have friends who care(not)?

I am in the house buying hell of getting ready to sell my home and starting to search for a new one. I am very lucky to have a good friend who is my mortgage broker. She is helping me dodge fun things like PMI and requalifying. She is also constantly giving me tips and hints on how to avoid charges, how to circumvent the system and how to stay sane.

My realtor is a great lady who has 27 years under her belt. Not once has she told me what I wanted to hear just to do so. I am constantly happy with her recommendations and her seeming interest in getting me into a nice house.

We have a list a mile long of things to take care of on this house. Not to mention, there are a dozen things to get into a new one that still need to be taken care of. This week, its compounded by Grandparents and Sister visiting from out of town. On Friday, I go see Duran Duran (3rd row *ahem*) in DC. I have to leave early to drive to Dulles and pick up my friend flying in from Knoxville.

So, now Stacey, would you like to dictate topics for me to blog about now?
