I just did a dictionary.com search for the word sick to find a great synonym and I found crapulent and crapulous... I totally feel crapulous! That word should have a picture of me next to it in the dictionary... Let me set the stage:
I have a face eating zit! Oh yeah, that is awesome. It is practically gone, but it was so big that I thought that I might have to register it somewhere as it's own landmark.
Out of the blue I started to feel sick sunday - some slight pain on my right side *not over my heart* and thru my armpit and now into my back... Then I felt like I was gonna pass out! At first I thought I was just hungry because it was warm and my friends and I had exerted some physical energy by moving some furniture. Mind you, I don't do well in heat - I do okay exerting physical energy - I actually enjoy sweating whilst doing something as I feel like it means I did something - but after having a yummy burger from Kaylen's I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn't catch my breath and felt really light headed. It made me so mad because I wanted to stay up and hang out w/ a friend once he got out of work... However, I just couldn't do it. I went home and fell asleep at 9pm...
I woke up monday w/ chest pain and all over yuckiness so I called in... I slept till 11am - which isn't normal for me... So, I layed around watched tv - and then fell asleep at like 2pm and slept til 6ish. Not feeling any better so I called in to work for tuesday *today*.
So, this morning, I woke up not feeling any better - so I went to Horseshoe Pond Urgent care at around 10am... Urgent shouldn't be a part of their title. I walked in and signed in... Sat there for over an hour and finally went up to the desk and asked about when I would be seen - 10 people had come and gone before I had even registered.
Finally around 11:30 I was registered. I get back into a room - next to a camp counselor who has pink eye. YIKES. Finally a nurse comes in and I have to put on a johnny - I worked that johnny - you know it...
So, the Physician Assistant comes in - he is tripping over his words, dropping stuff and can't make EYE CONTACT... NICE, huh? So I think I am coming in for something to do w/ my chest pain and he checks out my ears - and says there is yellow fluid in both ears - and I have SINUSITIS... and costochondritis...
So, I am on an antibiotic and need to take a decongestion med tomorrow *because I already took an allergy med this morning*. So, I got a note to be oow for one more day - hoping the antibiotic will kick in... So, hopefully I won't feel so CRAPULOUS tomorrow!

Sofa king yucky
So my friend CYN FISH taught me this new phrase which I love - SOFA KING! In her honor, I would like to tell a story about my yesterday... OH YA - and use that phrase as much as possible.
After work yesterday, it was raining sofa king hard that it was like I lived in CA. I say that because when in rains in CA - people drive like they are in a blizzard. In my attempt to go home w/o an arc, mind you, I was enraged to extreme road rage proportions that I yelled at the top of my lungs, " YOU GO YOU DOUCHE BAG, IT ISN'T LIKE I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY OR ANYTHING, YOU HAD AN EFFEN YIELD!"
So, I get home, let the dog out, play w/ her for a bit and then head over to Lesbonia as all I knew was I wanted to have some beer and unwind. I finished my 1st beer in probably 30 seconds flat. Could it have been that I spilled half of it down the front of me whilst opening it because I was sofa king frazzled... 3 beers later, my friends and I concoct a plan that was sofa king awesome that we get to go see a guy friend at his casa after he returns from work and puts his kids to bed... Sofa king sweet...
Well, I finish my 6 pack, go to the store, by myself another 6 pack, our guy friend a 6 pack and 4 scratch tickets. We all win except for Carianne, for which I am sofa king pissed.
So, we proceed to get stupid. When I say stupid, it is only me that gets stupid. I have two more beers and get outrageous - stay away from me if your contagious - cuz I'm a winner, not not a loser, to be an MC is what I chose-r. I Digress... I am sofa king stupid that I snort... FOR NO REASON - I am not laughing, I am not talking, I am simply BREATHING and I snort....
So, 1am rolls around and I have to work today - who is sofa king smart? OOOOOOOH I am! Finally I get home, and it didn't take me 20 minutes this time (it is a 3 minute drive- that is another story for another day - because I was sofa king stupid that day too)... So, I didn't get to sleep until 1:30amish.
So, I realize that my sister is taking today off - sadly, her boyfriend is in the hospital w/ Pancreatitis and she took the day to be w/ him which I think is sofa king nice. However, in her taking the day off, I realized I don't have to get up at the ass crack of dawn and was so excited that I danced a minuet - which was sofa king righteous. So, I slept til 7ish - but I felt SOFA KING YUCKY - hung over and stupid...
So, I decide to go to Irving to get my ice coffee - which is normally sofa king fantastic - they were all out - so I told the clerk and she goes to refill it and the machine EXPLODES basically. I felt so bad - she had customers coming out of the wood work and I didn't get any ice coffee - so I had to get HOT COFFEE - but I got it for free - SOFA KING FREE! However, I made it to work and then spilled coffee on my brandy new coach bag - SOFA KING NOT GOOD!
But I am here - I made it - it is going to be one long day - but all in all - last night was sofa king great. It goes into the history books - SOFA KING ROCK ON!

Curiouser and Curiouser
I am curious about a lot of things - however, today I have one specific curiosity that I would like to get to the bottom of.
I know we all complain about stuff - life sucks and people need to vent so they won't explode. However, there is a particular person I work with that finds something to complain about every 5 seconds! It's too cold, it's too hot, it's too noisy - Then it changes to she has TOO MUCH WORK TO DO- and complains that she was notified not exactly 24 hours before a meeting was scheduled or that she doesn't know how to do this or that. I think along w/ these complaints is a sense of entitlement that one should DROP EVERYTHING and answer her questions.
Part of me thinks she is just socially inept and quasi mentally retarded, but my diagnosis is medically unfounded (HOWEVER, I STAND BY IT BECAUSE I DO PLAY A DOCTOR ON TV). None the less - she drives me up a tree... To the point where I email my coworkers saying I am going to punch her in the face! For real! (see previous blog explaining said punching in the face)...
Personally, it takes a lot for me to blow steam out of my ears. I normally let this person bother me until I can't take anymore. For example, I can hear her eating from approx 6-7 feet away right now, but I am not going to call her on it. I will wait til she begins to bitch about something and then make a comment to her. Here's a great example - the other day - we were registering to take our Insurance Adjuster examination for the state of NH and she was having issue w/ her credit card. I asked her a question and she said, "WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS IT ISN'T WORKING" in a very rude, crass tone - so I responded - I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A PAIN IN THE ASS, I JUST WANTED TO HELP YOU! This caused neighboring coworkers to secretly laugh at my return serve.
The reason why this blows my top is - DON'T WE ALL HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO? DON'T ALL OF OUR PHONES RING? Like, I am not sitting her for my health or good looks with absolutely nothing on my plate, am I? No, I have crap to do and I do it with out finding something to moan and groan about - plus I do it with a smile on my face and most likely a song in my heart *probably a Dave song for that matter*. Also, if you are cold EVERY GD DAY - where long sleeves! Don't sit there and complain to every person walking by that you are cold - and then put your jacket and scarf on - insert sad violin playing here -
Therefore - I have decided that I will not take this much longer -I told my manager that I can't deal with this person's BS any longer (I am still unsure if that was good or bad of me to do, however, I had to tell her so I don't get fired for punching her in the face). I vow to make it KNOWN to this person that I am not dealing w/ her BS. When she comes over to bitch about something (because no one else is around) she senses my frustration and asked me if she is frustrating me - next time I will say a RESOUNDING yes! I will have to because it just dawned on me that my attempts at ignoring her inappropriate behavior may be ENABLING her. That's it... No more MISS NICE KATIE!

Punching someone in the face
I am not a violent person - I got in one fight in 5th grade, on the way to CCD - It was Andrea Colpritt nee Boucher, myself and Christina Cataldo - and we decided to punch her on the walk to Catechism. It was probably like I was punching jello at a negative 5 miles per hour... Andrea and I were grounded for 1 week. Oh, and when I was young - on a Saturday morning cartoon day, I wanted to watch the Smurfs and my waste of skin brother wanted to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks - so I right jabbed him in the gut - That's my history of violence.
The radio station I listen to, 100.3 WHEB has a weekly punch in the face segment and I have wanted to call in so many times but I haven't done it yet - which got me thinking that daily I want to punch someone in the face. There are different levels of severity to my punches.
If one really just frosts my fanny, burns my apple, chaps my arse - I simply say, "I'm gonna punch (insert name here) in the face.
If it is a woman who makes me angry, I sometimes quote "The Anchorman" and say, "I'm gonna punch her in the baby maker" *and then I strike a pose like I just punched her (a la Popeye) w/ my left arm...
If it is someone I really wish I could cause SERIOUS HARM TO - like a habitual offender - I like to say I am going to punch them in the throat - hoping I could crush his/her windpipe (a la John Travolta in BROKEN ARROW)...
I serious do not wish anyone harm and no farm animals were injured while typing this blog - but sometimes people get me SO pissed off that the only way I can diffuse/deflect my anger is to threaten them with pain! Is that wrong?

Attack of the killer tomatoes
I think that is how I am going to refer to my monthly visitor - this visitor that causes me to have MIGRAINES, and feel like poo! I have had a migraine for two days straight - not a happy camper!
I think this whole menstruation thing is for the birds - and since we are such an equal opportunity world - and a transgendered female can give birth - I would like males to deal w/ menstruation - hell MEN is in the title.
I just learned that every month, an egg releases from a different ovary - and women have a good ovary and a bad ovary *(I think)* which causes every other month to be more uncomfortable. GREAT! Plus, I don't think it is fair that women can say - Oh, I'm definitely going to be a moody bitch this day - we get a bad enough rap as it is...
So, I say MEN should MENSTRUATE! Women should . . . just relax and have the men be all moody and see how they feel!

The Dark Knight
$155 million opening weekend - enough said, right? WOW. I recommend that everyone go and see this movie. Heath Ledger was AMAZING! I am not sure if it really is PG-13 - but it is so good.
The radio this morning, WHEB- morning Buzz (the best station ever) was saying how Heath's Joker was the best movie villain ever and I agree. It was just amazing and I think they are right that he is the best villain in a movie... EVER.
So, I challenge you to go out and watch it and advise me otherwise, okay?

Movie Theatres
First off - I like to spell theatre the British way and pronounce it w/ an ENGLISH ACCENT, so every time you read it you should say it (aloud or in your head) in that same manner- got it?
Okay - so yesterday was a fantastic day - got out of work, went swimming, had dinner and then went to the movie theatre. However, I went to the theatre in my wet clothes from swimming - so here is my question - Why are movie theatres SO COLD? Normally it doesn't bother me because I am NEVER COLD - but yesterday, being still damp from swimming I think I may have pneumonia. Seriously, I do have a sore throat today.
I finally figured out why movie theatre popcorn is so expensive - I just don't know why it is so cold -AC cost money, doesn't it?
