mr heatman has fixed my heat this am which is a beautiful thing because it was 51 this morning. but now it's rising! yay. i slept through all the really cold parts. so now it's warm again. and life is good.

i forgot...yesterday as i was leaving my house i had this little thought pop in to my head and it went something like this. "it was the house of whores, and it became the house of horrors" who can tell me who spoke these immortal words.

hope every one had a lovely thanksgiving. myself, annie's dad and the fur family had a very nice thanksgiving. i made a pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and her dad made this neat squash thing. we had a good time. we watched a very violent civil rights movie and football. i read my book. i had kitty love all day. and my mommy called me from michigan. i just realized that i've taken off the days annie is meant to come home, yay. tia and i are together all day with no breaks, maybe i'll go hide in the bathroom if something goes amiss. mostly i read and blog and play on the internet all day anyway. i haven't heard anything on my medical insurance but i really need to get a prescription filled so...i guess i'll just have to pay a million dollars. it hasn't snowed yet here except for a few halfass flakes one cold rainy night. not that i'm asking for snow. its just that everyday looks like snow. i don't have a shovel so i really hope it doesn't snow. maybe i should go shovel shopping tonight. or a broom, or something. and kitty litter so i don't kill myself coming down the stairs. i just granted bank clemency to two folks who were overdrawn. i paid their checks and i didn't even charge them. i'm a good soul. and i'm rambling.

"catalogues are my new porn. Check it: I'm looking at things that theoretically exist, but which I will almost certainly never have access to in this lifetime. Pour over the glossy pictures all you want - fold down the corner of the page so you can go back to your favorites...to that saucy endtable, that wrought-iron bed frame, that little hussy of a chenille blanket - have you no shame, chenille blanket? You'd cover anyone."

this was stolen from http://mybeautifulhouse.blogspot.com/ because i thought it was irresistably funny

totally stealing from sarah...my blog this day last year...

oh the healing power of kittens!

elvisngrcelnd: ruinization, is this a word?
IdiotProdigy: we're not sure
elvisngrcelnd: some girl in my india class said it and i

IdiotProdigy: you should look it up

it caused his ruin not his ruinization
elvisngrcelnd: ugh
IdiotProdigy: 20 minutes til french
elvisngrcelnd: will french be your ruinization
IdiotProdigy: 20 minutes til doom
IdiotProdigy: it might

i found this very bloggable...situation: tia is telling our mailman who is a very nice 26 year old boy, about her engagement and he wished her good luck and then when the door closed behind him i heard him say you'll need it. hahaha

Good morning! it's a beautiful day in bar harbor, warm and sunny and it's november. i forgot to reset the alarm last night so i woke up at 7:26 in a state of panic. however, i was not really late, only about 4 minutes which doesn't really count. i just ordered money from brinks, how neat is that? tia can't believe they're already talking about thanksgiving...uh, it's two days away. sheesh and no marianne her wedding does not sound pretty, or tasteful, or likely but we'll see. she was looking for a closer bank to work at yesterday...secret desires come to light. we talked to sarah last night and i didn't even fall asleep. has anyone else heard about the push to collect back sales taxes from items purchased online or in catalogs. lets hope maryland doesn't get their act together or i'll be in trouble.

someone lovely came to have lunch with me..YAY! also yay for the thai restaurant that wasn't closed. i got my neat-o checks today, with the paintings on them...and i got complimentary labels. life is good. today is soft rock day...i really hate soft rock. tia is telling me all about her wedding. annie just asked me if she had told me all the details at lunch and now she did. it's going to be on new years eve, with poinsettias and pine trees with white lights. she didn't tell me all about her dress but her bridesmaids are going to have red tube top dresses with pearls sewn to them...and the men will have red bow ties. oh my. ooooh myyy.

i'm starting my work day with tia, totally bearable so far. she has a cold so she doesn't feel like chatting. mwahahaha. i left annie with pony and moosey in the nice warm house they're so lucky. maybe i'll get a christmas wreath or something, or a defective on sale tree. we watched the most bizarre show about people who get married with an unknown wedding planner, they have to choose from a good planner, a mediocre planner or a non planner and it's highly dramatic. we watched two episodes. we visited kitty at the herb shop andit was very funny. she keeps sniffing garfield but they seem amiable enough. garfield does sleep on her pedestal though...tsk tsk.

i talked to mimi for an hour last night. she's so funny. it's good that people call me because i always forget, thankfully i have a tenacious mother or she'd think i was dead always. i actually talked to amy mas the other day. it was surreal, hi amy mas! im watching the history channel and humphrey had to work his ass of to get ten guys excited while kennedy gets chased down the street by the whole nation. there's this whole kennedy special this weekend i'[m excited about. yay history channel. notice everyone that my week working with mary had involved very little bank drama. next week is a whole week with tia, just me and tia. sigh. a long ass week awaits me. i've been reading like a book a day, i think it'll get to two books a day with tia. sarah mimi says hi and she wants to call you. how busy are you this weekend? can we call?

hopefully the blog will be quicker now...we'll see. how was the apartment annie? call me at the bank. i'm going crazy with boredom.

we're doing an alarm test at work, i got to press my silent alarm. i should have gone to bed at 5:40 yesterday because now i'm tired and cranky. i sat up reading with a fervor and was a little late this am, so i didn't have breakfast which is probably more why i'm cranky. i didn't get to brush my teeth this am because the big bug came in my sink again. i don't like him. there must be somewhere better to live than my sink. it's a gloomy day, but it's really warm out. so that's good. i forgot the library items i was suppsoed to return and mary asked me what my thanksgiving plans were so today is rocking so far. i did get to meet a really rich guy though, so that's cool.

i have been screwing up all day. time for bed

tammy was late so i had to stand and post lookout until 8 this am and it was cooooold. but i'm over that now. it is extremely slow today and i think she might go insane. and i finished my book, sigh. i was trying to think of nice things to blog about. like how last night when i was going home the water looked exactly like blown glass. but then i gave myself a run in my cute tights and i wasn't happy anymore. we must find the marshalls...and toute suite(err french spelling most certainly wrong, but you get my point). and the annie thing was clearly a farce and all those comments...sheesh. i will remember to get the cow, let me know if you want anything else...

good morning all. there is no tia here this week and so what the hell am i going to write about. we're not sure. but stay tuned...there are thrills around every corner...

next installment of bank drama: tia's boyfriend proposed...but they won't get married till he comes back. she's going to take up the piano. god help us all. i have to get to work. sigh.

last night i chatted with my mom about them heckling the presidential candidates and sending blankets to iraq. she called 8 times making me think someone was dead.
i need something furry to be my friend. what do we think about hamsters? i've never had a hamster but they look cute and furry, and i did have mice. i could get him a wheel. and he could run on it. and be merry.

on a happier note i'm going to the nice patriot free library again today. i have my library designated tote all ready. i'm so excited. maybe i should go to library school like mo. it would be fun. i'll look into it. books i have to recommend to all are Eat CAke by Jeanne Ray sarah particularly will enjoy this and should stop by the library for it after classes finish. for the adventurer in us all i recommend any of the 8 books by Janet Evanovich. i"ve only thus far read the first and the last one but i have great hopes. they're about a clutsy woman bounty hunter and they're hysterical. more on that later. the librarians were very impressed with my selections and we chatted about them at great length. we got bank goodie bags today. mugs a hat and a visor, a pen, two keychains. i rock!

tia's boyfriend is going to iraq. she's overwrought because he's going to miss her birthday, again. the bastard. what was he thinking. i'm tired of the people who support the war and support the troops and get pissed off at the protestors until it's their boyfriend or whomever going to war...that's the unfair part. right. she keeps saying life is unfair. uhh gee if there were tens of thousands of iraqis patrolling our streets with guns and tanks we'd have a different perspective of what is unfair. i hate americans.

damnit this time i was dory but i screwed it up again. life sucks.

i stayed up late watching tv and annie stayed up late doing school work. we sw alot of reality decorating tv and one show where a couple's family plans their whole wedding without them. it was wild. the bank is very cold and i need muffin in a serious way. i may have to go to the muffin store. right now i'm learning how to make money off of disabled customers. its a niche in the market. errr. annie my phone battery is dead so i will call you from work around lunch time i guess. unless you have urgent banking needs. everyone here is just passing time till we go home. tomorrow being a holiday we're all pretending that we're not really here. i'm blogging, tia is in the kitchen doing homework and who knows what mary is doing at her desk. so our dedication is apparent. this am we had to photocopy money and mary told us to keep a look out incase the customers saw us. itwas hardly convincing as counterfeiting but the process made me laugh. posting a lookout by the employees is amusing. going to get a muffin.

i got a library card today and much to the chagrine of the patriot act i did not have to provide any personal information except for my address. hahaha. i'm not sure that's how you spell chagrine but oh well. two things: tia has a cold sore i'm totally not interested in getting and she is learning disabled and has alot of trouble reading...therefor she cannot spell and it isn't really her fault. however she continues to sing and touch my things with her cold sore person and so something must be done. we'll have to think of a plan of attack annie. an environmentally friendly way of making me feel safer. i'm making myself a don't touch anything sign aswell as a patience is a virtue sign for my teller station. what else...oh a note to annie holly came intoday with her doggies and a lady friend and i totally think she's a lesbiterian. for the record. i keep forgetting that we close late on fridays. bummer!

i really like my job. it's really not hard to have a grown up job. it's amazingly easy. i wish i knew how to waitress. that would be a good second job. there's a gas station hiring in trenton...i could totally sell gas and snacks to weary travelers. just kidding. i'm not ready to pick up shifts at exxon just yet. there is a limit.

things that are not cool...almost hitting a wolf or a coyote in your driveway. i'm not sure which it was but dude, it was not ok. i ran up to my apartment. like the wolf, but not. i did my laundry at annie's house, well some of it. i know have some clean clothes and will attempt a laundry mat probably this weekend sometime. i'm also watching the shining, which is probably a bad idea. but i flipped by it and i couldn't help it. now i have to watch the whole thing under a pillow. i locked my door so the wolf can't get in. i'm going to bake peanut butter cookies now. laters.

my supervisor encourages reading while atwork. how groovy is that. she said we'd all go insane and quit if we didn't read. tia doesn't read, surprise surprise, so she'll do crossword puzzles. sigh. maybe it'll improve her spelling. annie visited me. i'm going to need lots of visits. i'm finding it hard to hate this job, it's really a very nice company. and we have these two cocolate labs and a yellowish dog tht visit us everyday and we give them treats. life is good.

good morning all. at work again. wearing purple tights. i'm excited about my rights. actually i'm excited about my tights, there aren't that many rights to be excited about. as a bank professional one of my duties is to work under the patriot act. good god. i hate the patriot act. but i like the doggies that run around upstairs with thunder paws. princess was a thunder paws. annie's parents go to deer isle just to have dinner with princess, isn't that cute? if i had pictures of elton john i would totally put them up on my computer. did any one see the comercial for builder bob with co start elton john. it's very bizarre. it's almost sunny out today. it's a good thing. oh annie! we should to to cadillac this weekend for sunrise before it gets too cold. whatcha think? if anyone comes to visit we'll have to take them too. although not in january. i live the closest to the bank and i'm always late. i don't know what the deal is. i guess i have to get up earlier. i spent the morning holding my shirt over the heating vent because it wasn't quite dry. tres pathetic. i must go to annie's house and comandeer her washer tonight. annie won't mind. there is a definite laundry crisis at my house. i hate the idea but i really think i have to get some antibacterial hand stuff for work. the gross money and keyboards and phones are scary. i don't really think i'm a germaphobe but tia likes to touch all my stuff and she could be carrying all kings of yucky germs from her stinky boyfriend and who knows about the festering federal currency. so i think i must get antibacterial stuff for work. enough bank chat for now.

i deteste being treated like an idiot by an 18 yearold with a speech impediment. i know it's not her fault she talks like her mouth is full of marbles but it's driving me nuts anyway. i put up pictures of annie and kitty to counteract her rampant heterosity. heterocity. hmm. so...i like this blogging at work. there's really nothing else to do. i have no intention of attempting to make a career out of this, unlike tia who keeps talking about the people's jobs she'd like to take, and so i must enjoy myself while i can. the new rental car is so much better than the truck, it's like my car but with a cd player and a rental car smell. it's groovy. waiting for the bank to open so i can pretend to earn my pay. love you all

i lost my dyke mobile. the truck had a flat tire this morning which was traumatic. and last night i broke my favorite pair of ancient jeans getting into the damn thing which was even more traumatic. now i have a mitsubishi i think, a lancer...oooooh. it's very geo like and so much more my speed but not very butch. sigh. pretty much i sit around all day and play on the computer for pay and benefits. one can't complain. it could better if i had a place to do my laundry.

guess who's driving a massive pickup truck? that would be me. it's my rental car while mr prizm is getting fixed. a four door silverado. it's unreal. the bar harbor bank is so much cooler than ellsworth. my supervisor is really nice and tia the crazy 18 yearold is totally annoying but very sweet and very 18. i know all about her "baby" who is in the army. but anyway...the bank provides us bottled water because they don't have room for a water cooler. and i can do homework all day...but i don't have any, so i'll get a book. the day went by very quickly, even the boy at the bank is nice. i got a post office box today and my hair cut. i was so good. i even remember to pick up my truck. i wish you all could see me. oooh and i got an email from emily miller who was very surprised and she rambled on. it was so funny. she's making money playing the piano and has no friends. and i realized i can take more that 2 days off so we're going to plan a road trip. kirstens in love. what the hell happened. kirsten w is a wonder. god bless ya.
