Dammit!!

I forgot to drink last night. Bah. Hum. Bug.

I did vacuum, clean the bathrooms, finish the last minute packing, take out all of the garbage, clean the cat box, pack the cat stuff, send the cats to my parents house, finish ripping 4 cd's and doing the iTunes, water the front porch flowers and water the back porch flowers. All between 6:30 and 10. Thank goodness today is only at 10 hour day. By the time I clock out I will have 32 hours for this week and it is only Tuesday!

Not surprisingly I went to bed early.

Tonight is sleepover at PDX time! I have crosswords and a book to read so I am set on that account. The final errand I have is to stop at the Mac Store and get a wall charger for the iPods. Then I swing home for a final watering of the flowers and to pull the garbage cans in and then head over to Mom's. My plan is to shower there and eat and then have dad take me to the airport. And by this time tomorrow I will be sitting in a nice Hawaiian airlines plane headed to the land of Aloha!

Update

First off, no Kidlet was not on the trains that collided in DC. She had been on them right before it happened but all is fine there.

Second off, HOLY SHIT I NEED A DRINK.

Third off, I intensly dislike having to be organized and disciplined. It sucks ass.

Fourth off, Did I mention the drink?

11 hour yesterday at the office, 11 today and 10 tomorrow plus my final errand. Then a night at the airport, which, quite frankly is sounding soothing and peaceful right about now. I shit you not. Then again I love airports. They smell like escape =)

She's A Natural Disaster, She's The Last Of The American Girls

Cause I am one. I got to the office at 4:30 am after taking Kidlet to the airport. We slept, oh maybe an hour tops. If that. So basically I have been up now for 24 hours. Coffee! STAT!!

Kidlet's plane got out on time and other than needing to get a wall charger for the iPods, a refill of one of my meds and a 1 GB memory card for her camera I am pretty much packed. One duffel bag. Cause Starr travels light. I mean it's Hawaii. What do I need other than some lounge pants skirts and a swim suit? Not much.

'Cept Rum =)

I am tracking Kidlet's plan. Man do they have a killer schedule. Reminds me of Starr's European Vacation with the killer schedule. They eat breakfast every day at either 7 or 730 and then they are gone from the hotel until 10-10:30 at night. I'll update her itinerary later on. I did set them up with a blogger blog for those that are interested in viewing their trip. Hopefully they will add stuff to it when they make it back to their hotels!

DC Or Bust Blog

As for me, I am working 10 today, tomorrow I am sleeping in then redoing Kidlet's closet and doing laundry. Running my errands for the above mentioned items, and packing the cats over to my parents. Sunday I work 12 hours. Mon and Tues I do 10 hours. I have 8 hours from working Memorial Day that I get to use for my Wednesday hours which puts me at 40 hours total. Next week I get paid for a whopping 18 hours cause Kidlet's headaches kill my time off. On the plus side, I did scope out where Kidlet and I are gonna crash next Tuesday night AND Beaverton Bakery opens up way early in the morning in the airport. I was able to get coffee at 3:45.

And now I leave you with yet another of my favorites from the new Green Day. Last of the American Girls and it's Live no less from the Fox Theater.

You Can Look But You Can't Touch

Listening to my main Girl Crush, Ms Shirley Manson. Love Garbage. Gwen Steffani/No Doubt suck ass in comparison.

Meeting tonight to get DC itinerary and name tags and hopefully her fundraiser cash. We are in the middle of list making week at Casa Starr. Zip Locked Quart Sized Bags? Check. Multiple 3 once bottles? Check. She gets to check her bags to DC but round trip bag check for each of us to Hawaii is 64 bucks. So carry on it is.

We are going pretty much without any tourist plans. Maybe the horseback ride. Definately Puka Dog and the artist colony. I am looking forward to NOT HAVING A PLAN.

Let's see. I still have not made it to anyone's site. Cause I suck and I have literally NO free time. I get home and crash when I am not juggling Kidlet's schedule here and there. As Desert noted I really need a vacation cause I am hard core dragging ass.

I am writing this on my 15 min break at the office which I am actually taking today. Usually I take about a 20 min lunch and that is it. 4 months behind as of today. Working on February groups. LOL.

Whatever.

I did manage to get most of the songs I wanted on my iPod. Yet another reason I have not been visiting. If I am on my computer I am ripping CD's and building play lists. I still have almost 2 gigs left to fill but I have not yet started on Kidlet's CDs. Which include the Beatles. That is gonna be a chunk. And her Glam bands. OH....and we just got the best of Def Leppard. Gotta have that. So yeah, that has been my free time.

Summer is shaping up fun. Kidlet and I agree that the pinnacles of our year will be Hawaii, Green Day (thanks mom!) and Blink 182. Oh and Weezer. Me loves Weezer.

HEY! My iPod agrees. Just started East Jesus Nowhere by Green Day. It's been very Social Distortion oriented today. Glad it is branching out.

Oh and Weeds tonight!! Love that show =)

Nude Noodle Model Parlor In The Nefarious Zone

Holy Shit. THIS is a Tango. There are often great dances on Dancing With The Stars but So You Think You Can Dance is leaps and bounds (HAR! Dance pun!) a better show for dance. These two are professionals. Every week they will feature different dance styles from around the world. Uncle Nigel puts on a damn fine dance show.



I would LOVE to be able to dance like that. More than money I think have that talent would be seriously awesome.

Got my Rolling Stone with the Glambert on the cover. That boy is Hawt with a Capital H. Not playing for my team, but hey he did fess up to possibly being bi-curious. Millions of women have new hope in their heart. His brother calls him a "glittery alien from Planet Fierce" and I agree.

8th Grade Grad was entertaining. Man her principal is a tool. Mush Mouthed Tool at that. We had dinner with my parents before the ceremony then met up with her Dad and his GF. Then we all got numb bum on those damn narrow wood bleachers. Mubble Man gave a suitably uninspired Stairway to Heaven themed "speech." Or mumble. Kidlet's Dad was rolling his eyes. I told him I was glad he was there cause I felt like less of a bitch =)

Child O Mine got two giant bunches of flowers (one from me one from her dad...and we somehow managed to color coordinate!) a brand new version of her favorite purse (she calls it precious) and the Wayfarer glasses I covet. Oh and her dad gave her a hundred bucks. I got her a couple of her ever popular band t-shirts (Green Day and a truly awesome Mozzer Posse shirt with Morrisey on it) and a bottle of French Lilac perfume. We still don't know how much she gets from the Fund Raiser. Hopefully I will get the cash on Monday.

Let's see. Weekly schedule. Dance for small child tomorrow. Saturday we are taking Harley and Gabe to visit with their "sisters" over at my mom's house since they will be there while we are in Hawaii. Mom has a house/cat sitter who comes in when we go to Aloha Land.

Sunday sees Kidlet, one of her BFF's and Moi will working with Cascade AIDS project in the Portland Pride Parade. We are walking with the CAP team. Then Kidlet goes to her dad's for the week until Thursday night when I get her back and we do our hell night. We have to be up at 2am so we can be at the airport by 4am for her flight to DC.

The Hawaii counter is now under 2 weeks. WOOT! Kidlet is taking her computer so I will blog and post some pictures while we are there. Maybe :P

I am such a Blog Tease. I leave you with Citizen Strummer an the Mescaleros and another Tangolicious song.
