The Cat's Out of the Bag.......

I finally did a few things I have been meaning to do lately...

Kris and I cleanded the old crusty cat piss out from under the washer/dryer set. Oscar I believe was the culprit as I had caught him peeing/spraying/whatev before when we still had him. I had never been able to get all the way under by myself, but together we saw what a horrid, disgusting, smelly mess there really was, and ultimately (I hope) the source of the eau d'hamster cage odor I smell every time I walk in to my own house. Blech. Kris got right in there and did all the really dirty work, and I was basically the assistant :) That worked for me! Its so nice that he is a bit chivalrous.

I also did something kinda big, basically closed my eyes and said "F*ck it" and told Rocky that Kris and I got married. He didn't react badly at all. I think he is a little upset but that he's hiding it because what else can he do. I also told Alex because I felt he had a right to know when everyone else did too. He cried a bit at first, and then said, "I *sniff* just don't *sniff sniff* want someone else telling me what to do besides you and d-daddy" Basically he feels that he gets yelled at enough between me and Rocky and he's worried that he will have a third person coming down on him. So I'm going to make a concious effort to go a little easier on him with the tone of my voice and the looks on my face. Other than that, he seemed ok with it and actually acted even nicer to Kris that he already was.

Then to Mom's delight, I called my Grandmother and after shooting the shit for about 15 minutes, I grabbed any kind of opening I could (i.e. she said the word marriage or Kris) and said, "Ok Grandma, I have something to tell you and I don't want you to get upset..." pause "Kris and I got married a few weeks ago..." I could hear the thoughts in her head echoing "little slut is pregnant again!!!!" (j/k j/k) she did think i was pregnant though lol she said, "You little ssss...stinker!" and asked me why I hadn't told her sooner (even asked me for the exact date! Yikes!) and I told her that Mom made me a little hesitant because she thought you would be upset, etc. Then she told me she was on her knees begging me not to get pregnant!! Criminy, Woman! Once again, treated like a non-adult, but just doesn't know what else to say about it. She said "If you DO get pregnant, you better tell me! That way I can give you Hell!!" Woooo-weee!! I definitely learned a bit about Grandma's real self haha it was cute! She was fine though after she'd said her piece...

I have applied at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters to be a Facilities Cleaner, and also Vermont Information Processing as a Techincal Writer in hopes either one will give me a chance. VIP has an onsite daycare *Heaven* But its the weekend now so I don't know if/when I'll hear back. This job is ending in almost exactly 3 months and they are definitely not going to extend it. I went straight to the 2nd level manager myself (on the advice of the Reverend) and he tried to get Raleigh to allow me to stay 6 more months but they said NO. Fine then. Be that way.

I keep getting a stabbing pain in my left side and its driving me nuts! It makes me cringe but its not horribly painful. It is super annoying though. I think I have a bad diet or something. I'm poor what the hell am i supposed to do?? I hope it is gone by tomorrow. Ugh.
