2 months, 16 days & counting...

So for anyone that knows me, they know i LOVE birthdays. my birthday, your birthday, suzy-strangers birthday, it doesn't matter. granted if it happens to be my birthday it's that much better, but i'm totally non biased in whose birthday i'm celebrating. i mean really, Husband never has to worry about forgetting my birthday because in the Siclari family we start the countdown at 364. as in i have 2 months & 16 days until my 26th birthday! but don't tell my seester i'm already counting down, because under the Sibling Law i'm not allowed to count down until her birthday has passed; she only has 21 days left, & my lil' seester has 2 months & 5 days left. little seester tried to pull the Sibling Law on her birthday (that i'm not allowed to count down my birthday till after hers) but she's a YOUNGER sibling, so it didn't pass.
now, Siclari's expect thier birthday to be all about them. this doesn't mean anyone needs to spend large sums of money on them, it merely means, get creative. make the day ALL ABOUT them. anyway, i say all this to inform you, internet, that i am already planning the greatness of my birthday. i decided to write about it here because often Husband gets on & reads my blog. and this year, i want something slightly monitary...i want an icecream cake! i've never really set aside standards for my birthday celebration...and Husband has always done an INCREDIBLE job, but this year i'm really craving ice cream cake. i know, i know, my birthday is still 2 months & 16 days away, but that's what i'm craving. there are a few other things i wouldn't mind happening on that day, but icecream cake would be a swell way to start the day...just saying. :)

so you had a bad day...

i've recently had a rough few weeks. days just seem to stay dreary or get progressively worse as the day goes on. as i've talked to my friends...turns out i'm not the only one with crappy after crappy week. so i decided to compile a list of video clips that never fail to bring a smile to my face...maybe they'll help you too!

Worst. Day. Ever...or at least a pretty crappy day that ranks pretty high on the crappiest days list (and yes, i keep a list...)
it's actually an accumulation of the last few days really.

• i'm frustrated with work.
• i'm frustrated with not being fully trained, but seeing people who lied on their resume get sent to further their education.
• i'm really tired of people doing NOTHING and getting away with it.
• i'm tired of feeling like an idiot because of things i haven't been taught.
• i'm tired of being inside ALL day.
• i'm tired of wanting to just scream all the time.

i can't really get into details...i mean we've all heard stories about how blogging about work can get you into trouble. but let's just say today was a constant struggle to keep insanity at bay. i can't seem to get ahead, much less caught up. i seem to get every call that pointed out all my incompetence...and we all know how much i HATE ignorance (even more so when i'm on the ignorant end). i just couldn't catch a break...AT ALL. it was all i could do not to break down out of anger or sadness or just plain patheticness. and of course that just made things worse. turning my day into a vicious cycle of anger, fight the urge to cry, fight the urge to scream "i quit!", anger, well you get the picture. by the end of the day all i could think about was curling up with a big glass of wine & some girl scout cookies....but i had places to be, so that would have to wait.
worse yet? husband is gone until saturday...so pretty much the one person i have here in "this place" to unload on is, well, absent. suck! thank goodness i have great long distance buddies...they let me get lot's of crap out of my system before i got to my "places to be". thanks also to some new local friends worrying over my status and inviting me for, ahem, fun tomorrow night! yay!

oh, and to top off the day...i FORGOT my dog was at the in-laws, why because adam always gets her! am i a bad parent on top of a crappy person in general? geeze!
anyway, i'm chillin' writing my excerpt of the day with my wine, girl scout cookies, knowing i have the best friends ever!

The Joys of Public Radio

Imagine you are on your way to work in the morning, listening to your favorite morning radio station, say Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, for instance. Say they're doing a segment on things women wear that guys can't stand...crocs, ugg's, gladiator sandals, the like. Guys are calling in complaining about various & sundry things that they can't stand. Then this one caller is put on the radio, and asked what it is he can't stand, "Kidd, I hate it when my wife wears any clothes at all." And you're all, yeah he's married to a swim suit model! Kelly, one of the radio personalities, says, "wow, that's a lucky woman, not every husband says that." Then the caller continues to talk, "...I love when my wife doesn't have clothes on..." and you pay a little more attention because you swear that voice sounds vaguely familiar. Then Kidd, asks, "Well Adam, you wouldn't want her wearing nothing in public though, huh?"Adam replies, "Oh, no! No! But once we're home I see no need for her to have clothes on at all!"Then it happens, you KNOW why you know that voice...your breath catches in your THROAT because you KNOW that voice...that voice is your husband! on public radio! that his father listens to! that your co-workers listen to!Oh! My! God!
You immediately whip out your phone crazed & start punching buttons:
Me: Adam Michael!!!!!
Adam: :-)
Adam: I made it on the radio!!! :-)
Me: Yeah...so i heard :) along with all my co-workers
Adam: Yey!! :-)
So once i get to work i immediately tell my best friend & sister-in-law my embarrassing story. With all the love & compassion she can muster she burst into uncontrollable laughter and states, "i've gotta call Jace!" So she does, and we relay the story, as we continue to laugh. many comments were made & we all had a good laugh. Once i get back downstairs to my desk i get the following:
Emily: Shelly heard him.
Me: Oh my god...
Emily: Hehe
Adam: My dad just called and said he got a text from Jace, to call me and ask about Kidd Kraddick. :-)
Me: What did you tell him?
Adam: What i said. :-) he laughed and said he can't believe he missed it. :-)

I get this email from one of my co-workers:
Your husband doesn’t like for you to wear clothes????? He he he he...kinky

I heard it on the radio. I didn’t know it was Adam, but Emily told me.
That’s so awesome. Emily said that he was so excited to be on the radio. I would be too!!!


that, internet, is what you get when you finally get your husband to let loose. he let's loose all right, all over public radio!
