Bubblegum Diaries: Sea, here we come!!

Sea, here we come!!

I was sooo freaking out last Friday about being stuck in the city all summer and not having a proper vacation that Vegas pushed me to look for a cottage by the sea... I thought "surely not, everything nice has been rented out by now and forget about finding somewhere that allows dogs" - um, yeah. How wrong was I?!

The guy who owns the place where I vacationed last summer just opened up another cottage a bit further up on the shore and OMG!! The week that Vegas' daughter is here in August is free! I wrote and he said "sure no problem" -

WE ARE GOING FOR A VACATION BY THE SEA!!

*happy giddy dance of butterflies and rainbows*

That gives the summer a whole new outlook... I was in the depths of despair to see life just fly by and not being able to enjoy see at least a few days of blue - but now, I'm all cheered up.

Plus, it'll be a vacation we will all remember, bbqing on the huge deck to the sun setting over the waves, beachcombing for hours, collecting seaglass and just breathing life in - bye bye hot stinky city! In the meantime we'll try to get away here and there but so far it's been busy as hell, I hope life will finally settle down a bit.

Jeebus, what a race. If I had to resume this weekend? Shopping, laundry, dogs. Whew. My feet and back hurt from all the malling today.

At least we found our gorgeous sleepy indonesian buddha bookends, la la laaa!

Man.

I am NOT ready for another long week of work.

BLAH.

Vegas is off to New York super early tomorrow morning, he should be back Wednesday but if I am lucky he may be able to make it for Tuesday night *crosses fingers*. Sigh. He just got here a short month ago and it's been a whirlwind, and now he's leaving again... and next week he's gone four long days, I dunno how well I'll survive that.

Gonna suck petrified dino turds :-(

I love living with him, what can I say? I hate feeling clingy and I know damn well this is part of his job, he's doing it for us and I wouldn't dream of saying "don't go" - but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Mutter. Sigh. Bleh. And all of that.

Time to make dinner... red curry with chicken tonight, mmm. Oh and the big melonhead is doing better now that he's on anti-inflammatories, so it's definitely a muscle injury and not a ligament or tendon. THANK YE AMEN!

Property is theft. Nobody “owns” anything. When you die, it all stays here.

The planet is fine. The people are fucked.

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post “Thou shalt not steal,” “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” and “Thou shalt not lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music.
“When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?” This title offends all three major religions, and even vegetarians!

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, “Fuck waffles.”

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

I’m always relieved when someone is delivering a eulogy and I realize I’m listening to it.

Just think, right now as you read this, some guy somewhere is gettin’ ready to hang himself.

If all our national holidays were observed on Wednesdays, we could wind up with nine-day weekends.

Most people with low self-esteem have earned it.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

“No comment” is a comment.

You can’t argue with a good blowjob.

So far, this is the oldest I’ve been.

worst pickup lines

Can I buy you a drink, or do you just want the money?

I may not be the best looking guy here, but I'm the only one talking to you.

I'd like to screw your brains out, but it appears that someone beat me to it.

If you were a new hamburger at McDonald's, you would be McGorgeous.

I wish you were a Pony Carousel outside Walmart, so I could ride you all day long for a quarter.

Excuse me, do you have your phone number, I've seem to have lost mine.

I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.

Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.

Many people quit looking for work when they find a job.

Join the Army, meet interesting people, kill them.

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

Dumb as a stump.

He's got a mind like a steel sieve.

His cheese has slipped off his cracker.

If brains were dynamite, he wouldn't have enough to blow his nose.

Like a pair of children’s scissors, bright and colorful, but not too sharp.

Million dollar body and a 2 dollar engine.

Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse.
