This whole moving business is driving me absolutely crazy! I don't remember the last time being quite this insane... Granted I had someone helping me pack/move everything AND a new lease already signed.
I have to be out of my apartment in a week, and I don't have a place to move into or a job lined up in Tulsa... In fact, I don't even know when the BF and I are moving to Tulsa.
Okay, I guess this needs a little of explaining. If you've followed my sporadic posts, you know I have been trying to move to Tulsa for quite some time now. It was just lucky that when I met the BF, he was already thinking of moving there as well. The company he works for is opening 3-6 new stores in and around Tulsa and asked him to open/run one. Unfortunately, the owners seem to be VERY unorganized.
The first store was originally scheduled to opened almost a year and a half ago. It still isn't open. Official open date is now June 6th. We'll see.
When he first asked about possible help with moving expenses, the BF was told that the company would help with the moving truck, deposits, and first month's rent (and another employee that is being moved mentioned an offer of paying a pet deposit). This would just leave us finding a house in a suitable neighborhood (if you know anything about the Tulsa area, you know much of the actual city is getting pretty rough in terms of the inhabitants). I found us a PERFECT house--3 bedroom, walk-in closets, big backyard with a firepit, fireplace, gas stove in a huge kitchen (limited cabinet space, but moveable shelving can fix that), indoor/outdoor pets allowed, and the realtor loved me. It was 5-10 minutes (depending on traffic) from where he is to start working, with a movie theatre, shopping, mall, hospital, and great restaurants in close proximity. Near the Muskogee Turnpike and 412, so getting to both my parents' house and Meme's wouldn't be difficult. Like I said, perfect.
The last few weeks, he's been getting the run-around when it comes to getting all the assistance finalized.
Enter yesterday....
He finally gets a hold of the majority owner of the company who is in charge of all the financial aspects... Said owner offers to only help pay half of the moving truck costs... This is after he offered the previous offer to the other employee they are moving to the stores (said employee had already paid all the costs themselves). His reasoning? The BF seemed set on the idea of moving to Tulsa before they offered him a store.
Wait... What??? He had entertained the idea of moving somewhere, but never told his employers. When offered the chance to run a store, he jumped at it.
How is it that you offer one employee full assistance but won't offer the same or even close to it to someone who has jumped at every chance they have been given for more responsibility? You fire the GM and instead of bringing someone in, you have him take on more without a raise. Yet they aren't valuable enough to pay for them to move to open your new store? Another fact, the other employee is female. One can make the strong argument of sexist policies with this.
I'm just so frustrated...
The BF has a two-step idea to get things paid for: letter, then get his sister involved (apparently she has quite a bit of experience in this sort of situation, I'm not sure what she even does). I have a three-step idea: his two, and if neither of those work, let me talk to them. I can be pretty convincing if need be. Now if you're wondering what I mean by a "letter", it's pretty simple: voice his concerns about what his pay will be, which store will be his, what official policies are for the above situation, etc, ending with a phrase similar to "I look forward to the opportunity to grow with this company and take on more responsibility in the hopes of moving up, however, I must also consider what is best for me financially, career-wise, and for my personal well-being as time goes on." I think that gets the point across that he wants to stay with them, but is willing to look elsewhere if they continue to screw him over. I told him to start hinting to his coworkers about other job prospects without saying anything specific. I know at least one person will run to the owners. While he can't say he's looking for another job outright without jeopardizing his current position, he can make them think there is a possibility of losing someone they couldn't have been without the last few months.
To top all of this, my last day at my current job is tomorrow... I have a few prospects for jobs if we'll be here for a few more weeks, one temp job and one part to full-time job. I may just take both if I get the nod. Gotta save up the monies if we're going to have to pay for everything ourselves... And without rent to worry about that shouldn't take too long.
I don't have my kiddos at the moment either... Sugar (my cat) is at a friend's house (got caught with her and she isn't on my lease... oops...). Tank is at mom and dad's. I hate not having them. They make me so happy, even when they are being difficult. They cuddle when I need it and give me something to do when I need to get my mind off things. I can see Sugar whenever I want, Tank is more difficult seeing as how he is nearly 3 hours away. Can't wait to get them back. Another reason we need to get this all figured out soon.
Maybe I'm overreacting... I don't feel like I am.
Does anyone have any advice or thoughts? I'm basically at a loss...
Ugh...

What have they become?
With the Republican National Convention underway, I can't help but throw a bit of a bitch fit. Republicans today do not stand for what the party was originally founded to support. The things they are pushing for today, are completely the opposite as why as a young, naive 18 year old I registered as a Republican (shocker huh? Me, a registered republican?) So, what do Republicans stand for? I'll tell you.
Originally, Democrats and Republicans were one party-the Democratic Republicans. This was the 1800s, before the Civil War. They wanted small government and a small, agriculture and industrial nation. It was the Federalists that wanted stronger government and a national economy. It wasn't until the 1850s that the Republican party was created from the Whigs and abolitionists.
Before the Civil War, it was the Democrats who were predominate in the South. They wanted to maintain states' rights and, in effect, continue slavery. They hated the Bank of the U.S. (which hasn't really changed) and subscribed to other Jacksonian ideals. The Republicans were the progressive party. Lincoln himself was a Republican. They opposed the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the extension of slavery, as well as being openly against the decision in the Dred Scott Case.
In 1860, the Republican platform included a call for a high protective tariff (or tax), free homesteads, and a transcontinental railroad. With Lincoln as their nominee, they won the election and freed the slaves. Lincoln himself created several government agencies: Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the national banking system. He passed the Homestead Act, because he understtod the "importance of... having a piece of land to call your own." He passed the Land Grant College Act, which created universities throughout the country by donating land for agricultural and technical colleges to the states.
Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, passed the 14th Amendment in 1868, passed the National Eight Hour Law (which while only limited government workers to 8 hour work days, set a precedent for all workers), passed the 15th Amendment in 1870 (which guarantees voting rights to all citizens of age), authorized equal pay for female government employees in 1872, the Pendleton Act in 1883 (which required at least 10% of the bureaucracy to be a professional workforce and created the Civil Service Commission), and in 1890 passed the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Later Roosevelt, a Republican, used this act to break up several large monopolies.
Roosevelt did several things today's Republicans would find appalling. He became involved with foreign policy by supporting the creation of the Panama Canal. He negotiated the Treaty of Portsmouth, ending the conflict between Japan and Russia. In 1906, he passed laws concerning safe food and meat production. Later, he began naming forests as federal reserves and created the Department of Labor.
In 1919, the Republican party successfully passed the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. The first woman elected to Congress was a Montana Republican in 1917.
In the 1920s, the party ran on platform opposing the League of Nations, high tariffs, and promoting business interests. These low tariffs and business policies led to great prosperity until 1929 when Wall Street crashed. The hands off approach by the party led to FDR being elected in 1932. I n 1940, they became them first major political party to support and endorse and equal rights amendment for women. When Eisenhower was elected he created the Interstate Highway System and continued American space exploration, as well as creating the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Civil Rights Commission and the civil rights division in the Justice Department. These led to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which kept the government from interfering with blacks wanting to vote.
The first mention of bipartisan effort in any of my research was when the parties joined together on foreign policy after the Republican support for the nation's war effort (began by the Democrats). In fact, it was the Republicans that were usually against the wars the US fought.
It wasn't until Nixon was elected in 1968 that the Republican party began believing that America had the best form of government. It was then that the country began having a larger role in world politics and promoting the values of the country. He reopened relations with China, helping with globalization, ended the country's involvement in the Vietnam War, signed arms control treaties, promoted our manned space program, brought inflation under control by implementing the traditional Republican policy of fiscal control and by cutting the dollar loose from the gold standard, and helped to pass the Clean Air Act.
Reagan followed. He increased military spending and had the largest peacetime military buildup in US history. However, his revamping of the tax code exempted million of those with low incomes and eliminated many deductions. He had the Iran-contra affair to mar his record, where the US sent arms to Iran without Congressional approval and to Nicaraguan guerrillas.
Bush Sr., supported free trade, Middle East peace, and NATO.
What has the Republican party become? They supported W. when he invaded Iraq on a lie of nuclear weapons. Granted I understand we had been attacked, but because he couldn't figure out who did it he fabricated a report. Yet many still think he was in the right. He created tax cuts that left the lower and middle classes to pay for the functionings of our government. This led to over $3 trillion in debt. Something that was almost unheard of in the Republican party before.
Once they supported civil and individual rights. Now they want to deny gays the right to marry.
They once respected the Constitution and, therefore, the separation of church and state as that is created by the Constitution. Now they want to impose Christian values on all of those in this country and create laws that reflect this, when the Constitution states that the government cannot do so.
They have always wanted small government and less government regulation in our lives. But by passing laws on marriage, "legitimate" rape, and other similar things creates more regulations and more of the government "butting into our lives."
Before they supported helping the middle and lower classes with tax cuts and the Homestead Act, now they rally for corporate and wealthy tax cuts as well as not helping the homeless or unemployed.
They stood for education at one point; they actually created many of the universities around the country. Now they want to stop funding education and helping students afford education beyond the secondary level.
They have always supported businesses but not to the extent of putting them over their constituents. With corporate tax cuts, out sourcing, and the like they are hurting our economy, putting us out of work, and creating wider gaps between economic classes.
These are all stances held by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Please consider who you support and what they stand for before you vote this November. Do your homework. Realize these policies are not helping our country, but hurting it. We are becoming a nation that discriminates based on religion, sex, sexuality, and tax bracket.
The Democrats are not perfect, not by a long shot, but they are not trying to take away the things they gave you. Republicans are backing out of so many things they promised with the laws they passed in our country's history and are now passing laws that will in effect repeal or block them.

Pt2: Dating peeves
Yesterday I ranted about every day pet peeves. Today, it's dating pet peeves. These are basically deal breakers for me. All are things that I have pissed me off in past relationships, and I refuse to deal with them now or in the future. Don't like it? Move on.
Being straight out rude to my friends/family. I understand people have issues with other people, I do. But let's be nice to those I care about in front of me. Unless they purposely provoke you, pissing me off isn't going to be worth your time. I'm a bitch. You probably know this already, but you will send me into super bitch mode. They were here before you, and chances are they will be here after you. They are part of what has shaped me into who I am, so if you really do care about me you should be thankful for them.
Dropping off the face of the planet. Dear god, what don't guys understand that this is NO WAY to keep a girl interested. You are all awesome and wanna hang out all the time, and then out of nowhere you don't talk to me or show up in social settings. I've had so many guys get mad when I lose interest because of this. Do you expect me to just sit around waiting on you? Sorry, if you act like you aren't interested anymore, I won't be. I understand things come up, shit happens. Give me some indication you're still interested. Don't wait until I'm talking to someone else to decide to tell me you want to be with me. I'm not going to come running back. I'll be your friend and that's about it.
Those stupid flirt/dating apps. OMG!!! This caused a major rift a little over a year ago, and I will not compromise on it. You're seeing someone. How's about we don't use a singles app to flirt. If you don't want to flirt with me, leave! That is the equivalent of flirting with other girls in person. I saw what was said the last time this happened, and let's just say he had every right to hide it from me. That's a form of cheating. If you can't show me because you know it will bother me, you shouldn't be doing it. I stop "talking" to all other guys when I'm with someone, why can't you do the same? If you can do it, I can do it. And I'm worse. Having a vagina usually means the person is a lot better at flirting and teasing and whatnot. And trust me, I know how. Let's not cause super bitch here.
Not giving me girl time. I need time to be a girl. Don't get me wrong I like spending time with you, but I go a lil nuts when I don't get to see my girls. They keep me grounded. And it makes you seem clingy if you don't spend time with the guys. Clingy is bad. I get resentful and well my girls get mad. Not fun to deal with.
Arguing about stupid shit. Yeah if I have to explain this one, you're hopeless.
Not going on dates. This is what has helped kill ummmmm all of my relationships. God, take to me to dinner every now and then, show me off. If you're ashamed and don't want to, leave. I don't need gourmet food to be happy. Hell, take me to McDonald's but make it fun. Fun is all that matters. Take me dancing. This gets you points. I love to go dancing. Picnic, walks, sitting under the stars in the middle of nowhere, etc etc etc. There are SOOOO many things you can do.
Ugh I have a lot more, but these are my major ones. The rest I can deal with to a point. Sadly, these are pretty universal but a lot of guys do them all... Show me one that doesn't do at least one on a regular basis... Maybe I'm too picky, but I know one day someone will be able to live up to this. I'll be patient. Ish. lol
Notice I make no mention of ex's? I don't have a problem with ex's as long as they don't cause a problem for us. I still talk to most of mine, they were friends before we dated. Why can't we be friends after?
I gotta get out of the apartment, it's too pretty outside.
Beware the Ides of March!
Love!!!

Pet Peeves pt1
I have begun to realize that many things bother me. Big surprise there if you know me, right? So, I decided I would make a list. Just so ya know, you know why I get aggravated with you or something lol. There are actually two categories: things anyone can do and things the person I'm dating can do. Yep, I have a whole other set of things for that one. Here goes nothin! Oh, and feedback is more than welcome on this one.
Hand washing. Having a mother in the medical field and having worked with food and blood, this is a huge thing for me! I don't wash my hands every other minute or anything, but when you go to the restroom (especially a public one), wash your damn hands. There are sooooo many germs and bacteria in restrooms! You can even pick up STIs *gasp!* Okay maybe not with your hands, unless you like to wipe your hands on toilet seats, but still...
Not brushing your teeth/showering. Um, you're gonna stink. I don't want to smell it. Plus, you look all greasy and gross. I seem to have a thing about personal hygiene. Don't get me wrong, if you just plan on sitting at your house all day or only making a quick cigarette trip I can understand not showering (unless you reek). Hell, I do that occasionally. Please don't come into my place of employment or a social setting without at least a quick shower and some mouthwash. Oh, and deodorant. BO just disgusts me.
Digging into parts of my personal life that are none of your business. Unless I share it with you, let's not discuss it shall we? It's personal for a reason. If I do discuss it with you, that doesn't mean I want everyone to know about it, so let's not bring it up in public. It's just bad manners.
Disgusting eating habits. Don't get me wrong, eat all the strange food you want. I do. But how about we use utensils with foods that need it? And don't chomp. I don't want to see it while your chewing. Gross. When people shovel food in their mouth, it disturbs me. How can you enjoy what you're eating? This one is kinda a dating thing too. Please don't be gross or impolite on a date, I WILL NOT go on another date with you.
Bad driving habits. Please go at least the speed limit, but not way over it either. And know the right-a-ways. If someone gets to the stop sign before you, they have precedence. Ugh, and not paying attention to traffic lights. I may run a yellow light every now and then, not purposely, but I stop at reds and don't go until it's green. I was almost hit head on last night by a guy who wasn't paying attention and decided when my light turned green to go across, he could go left across my lane. My heart almost stopped. Thankfully the jackass realized his light was still red and stopped in time to miss me. I can't really bitch about cellphone usage while driving, because I do it, but if you can't drive and do it. Don't. I prefer if people don't do it at night or in construction/heavy traffic though. I try to avoid those just because the risks are much greater. Be safe.
Telling me my beliefs are wrong. Big deal to me, this one. (ha, Yoda sounding) Everyone has their own beliefs on religion, politics, education, etc, etc, etc. I will respect the fact that we may not agree, please do the same. If you want to have a discussion or debate, I'm always up for that, but do not tell me that I'm wrong just because you don't believe in the same things I do. I was raised to think for myself (thank you mommy and daddy!), and our country was founded on the idea of free thinking. I don't understand why people think everyone must believe the same things. Where would we be? There would be no variety in life. Hell, why would you even talk to other people? You would know their opinions already, so why ask?
Treating animals badly. Ugh!!! Domestic animals usually do not know how to fend for themselves. Take care of them. Don't beat them, starve them, or be a horrible pet owner in general. If you can't take care of your pet, find someone who can and will. I understand most of us work, so you can't spend every moment with them. It happens. But love on them. I take Tank to the dog park as often as I can so he gets exercise and meets new dogs, since I live in an apartment. He also gets doggy playdates occasionally. The ex has been good about letting me bring him over to see his big sister Roxi, they both need it. Choke collars. &$%^#^%$*%!!!! Please do not use them unless you know how. They are not good for dogs to begin with, but in the hands of an inexperienced person they are dangerous to the poor animal. They are for training purposes. They are not a substitute for a real collar or harness. How about you let me put that around your neck and pull you around for a day or two and let those spikes dig into your neck??? No? Then don't do it to your dog.
Okay, this was longer than I expected. I'll have to do the dating one separate. I don't want to bog you guys down. I just needed to get this out lol.
What are your pet peeves? Anything you would add to my reasonings?
Happy Pi Day, Hump Day, and Steak and a BJ Day!!!
Love!!

Don't get me wrong, if you just plan on sitting at your house all day or only making a quick cigarette trip I can understand not showering (unless you reek). Hell, I do that occasionally. Please don't come into my place of employment or a social setting without at least a quick shower and some mouthwash. Oh, and deodorant. BO just disgusts me.
Digging into parts of my personal life that are none of your business. Unless I share it with you, let's not discuss it shall we? It's personal for a reason. If I do discuss it with you, that doesn't mean I want everyone to know about it, so let's not bring it up in public. It's just bad manners.
Disgusting eating habits. Don't get me wrong, eat all the strange food you want. I do. But how about we use utensils with foods that need it? And don't chomp. I don't want to see it while your chewing. Gross. When people shovel food in their mouth, it disturbs me. How can you enjoy what you're eating? This one is kinda a dating thing too. Please don't be gross or impolite on a date, I WILL NOT go on another date with you.
Bad driving habits. Please go at least the speed limit, but not way over it either. And know the right-a-ways. If someone gets to the stop sign before you, they have precedence. Ugh, and not paying attention to traffic lights. I may run a yellow light every now and then, not purposely, but I stop at reds and don't go until it's green. I was almost hit head on last night by a guy who wasn't paying attention and decided when my light turned green to go across, he could go left across my lane. My heart almost stopped. Thankfully the jackass realized his light was still red and stopped in time to miss me. I can't really bitch about cellphone usage while driving, because I do it, but if you can't drive and do it. Don't. I prefer if people don't do it at night or in construction/heavy traffic though. I try to avoid those just because the risks are much greater. Be safe.
Telling me my beliefs are wrong. Big deal to me, this one. (ha, Yoda sounding) Everyone has their own beliefs on religion, politics, education, etc, etc, etc. I will respect the fact that we may not agree, please do the same. If you want to have a discussion or debate, I'm always up for that, but do not tell me that I'm wrong just because you don't believe in the same things I do. I was raised to think for myself (thank you mommy and daddy!), and our country was founded on the idea of free thinking. I don't understand why people think everyone must believe the same things. Where would we be? There would be no variety in life. Hell, why would you even talk to other people? You would know their opinions already, so why ask?
Treating animals badly. Ugh!!! Domestic animals usually do not know how to fend for themselves. Take care of them. Don't beat them, starve them, or be a horrible pet owner in general. If you can't take care of your pet, find someone who can and will. I understand most of us work, so you can't spend every moment with them. It happens. But love on them. I take Tank to the dog park as often as I can so he gets exercise and meets new dogs, since I live in an apartment. He also gets doggy playdates occasionally. The ex has been good about letting me bring him over to see his big sister Roxi, they both need it. Choke collars. &$%^#^%$*%!!!! Please do not use them unless you know how. They are not good for dogs to begin with, but in the hands of an inexperienced person they are dangerous to the poor animal. They are for training purposes. They are not a substitute for a real collar or harness. How about you let me put that around your neck and pull you around for a day or two and let those spikes dig into your neck??? No? Then don't do it to your dog.
Okay, this was longer than I expected. I'll have to do the dating one separate. I don't want to bog you guys down. I just needed to get this out lol.
What are your pet peeves? Anything you would add to my reasonings?
Happy Pi Day, Hump Day, and Steak and a BJ Day!!!
Love!!

Say what?!? Saturday
I realized the other day that I DO still have some of those random ass pictures from around the metro area that I wanted to use for a weekly feature. I know I've talked about it a few times, but now I'm doin it. So here it is, my first installment of Say what?!? Satuday.
Love!!!

Borrowed Christmas Sentiments
Christmas is coming,
My ass is getting fat.
The kids have all gone mental
And the dog just shat.
I'm oddly rather horny —
Just a quickie shag'll do.
If you can't put out for Christmas
Then really, fuck you.
Christmas is coming,
I don't mean to be a crank,
But get your shit together
And then I want a spank.
There's so much crap to do
And I hate to be so blunt.
But after all the chores are done
You need to lick my cunt.
Your folks are staying over —
A tiny piece of Hell.
I think I've more than earned
For you to ring my bell.
This time of year is when
I really start to twitch
'Cos Christmas is coming...
Ain't she a lucky bitch.

I borrowed this wonderful little poem from a good friend of mine, Lady Estrogen. This is basically how I feel about the holiday season. Just gimme a good roll in the hay or a quickie now and then, and I'm content with that present.
I'll update you guys tomorrow on the craziness that is my family Christmas's. I even have videos this year!!
I hope you all got exactly what/who you wanted this year!!!
Love!!

Swamp stink feet
I didn't have to work today until 3 pm. So why the hell did I get woken up at 9am?!?!?! Because Matt decided I needed to help him find the disc golf disc he lost yesterday. The one he threw and the wind carried into a pond. A pond that smells like swamp stink. A pond that I had just seen a snake next to it.
Yeah, no. I stood on the bank playing with reeds and a stick.
Seriously? You wake me up to go smell swamp stink? WTF??? He didn't even find the damn disc. I woke up early to go stand and watch him fail. And then smelled the swamp stink all the way home... My car still has a lingering stench... I couldn't go back to sleep when we got home later. So he decided it was errand time. Not exactly my plan for my short day of work.
WTF was he thinking waking me up that early???? I was looking forward to sleeping in in my own bed. Oh yeah, no more couch until the a/c goes out again.
Ever been woken up waaaay earlier than you needed to by a morning person? Sucks don't it?
Off to drink myself into a happy stupor!!! Lol, I'm off tomorrow so I plan on enjoying myself tonight.
Happy humpday!
Love!!!
