The many faces of J.C.

No not, Jesus or Joey Combover but of June Cleaver....

Mrs. Cleaver may be a simple housewife but there is more to her than anyone can even guess. Ward is probably a very sexually satisfied man, and the Beaver grew up a great life. She never had any promiscuous skeletons in her closet and she always had a kiss and lunch packed for her handsome husband and lovely kids. Dinner was ate at the table not in front of the TV and it was always at dinner time (6). It never mattered what was going on in the neighborhood or what the local gossip was saying that day. She is the person most women want to be and most men want to have.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for women in the workplace and the right to vote, even though I don't. I just believe that a mother should be home with her kids and taking care of her family is top priority. I will work until the day my first child is born and I will pick up a flexible job when the last of them go into kindergarten. But to each their own.
So June, don't go getting worked up about not knowing what to do when your kiddos move out, there is a place in the work force for you. And June keep your sassy coming.

Lord, I don't know where to start!! I have successfully pissed off my General Manager and he has successfully made my life a little bit worse. He just happened to turn it around on me by giving me only 4 days, 3 of which are doubles. Cool, that I got Friday off but not so cool that I can't go out and drink Friday night because I have to be in at 10 am. I wasn't going to anyways but he ruined my option... lol. I'm so sick of Wick's and pizza and tye-dye that I would like to burn everything... ok maybe not quite that bad but pretty close. (: <-- Fred has joined us today.

Here are some very recently learned facts:
-My dad is Detroit-phobic (or so I think)
- I enjoy those from Detroit...
- I enjoy older gentleman... (:
- I am a secret Kid Rock fan! haha, not so secret if you have read my blog very often.

So now I must go uphold my leadership in the Official Irish Drinking Team... more like I have to go clock back in off of break and get back to work... ):

5 Songs Stuck in my Head:

there was a guy here who managed to get his head stuck in a fishbowl. no, I don't fuckin know how!

Alright, I think my computer isn't freaking out anymore... Well, as of today it is being good. So, on to be a dork and telling you all that I honestly missed you!!!

Now onto business...
I have recieved a very amazing award from Meatbag over at "Why? How? and other abstract questions." and will be accepting it graciously..... finally. Thanks Meatbag! Just because I blog from Kentucky doesn't mean I was born and raised there but to me it doesn't matter where your point of origin is, it's a matter of where it takes you. :)

Now, that I am done with business, I will go on about things that only matter to me. haha. :)

It has been almost 2 years (in March) since I met Patrick and almost 2 years (in April) since we started dating. I've known for a long while now that I have a romantic on my hands, but he topped it with his proposal. As cliche as it sounds, he proposed Christmas morning, and I wasn't expecting it. He had stuffed a stocking with a bunch of UK stuff, movies and even the Abominadable Snowman, but put the ring in the toe. So I'm pulling all of these things out of the stocking and finally get to this gum ball machine container, you know like the ones you get the little 25cent toys in, and that's when he just looked at me with these big old eyes. Of course I said yes, I may be crazy but at least I'm crazy enough to take a giant step towards something I want! I am crazy about him and I love him more than anyone could ever possibly figure out!

Though I must stay in touch with Jes more and slow down on the stressful life I'm leading, I am truely happy, something I thought was only a fairytale. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, but I've only been back at Wick's for 2 months and I am already burned out, so I applied to the Daycare that just opened up, still have no idea if I got the job, but I feel a little better with the thought that I may get this job and be able to only work 3 nights at Wick's. It's not the same as when I first started many moons ago but it works for now. Hopefully we will be able to work up some money in the next couple of years to start a new chapter in life and move to Georgia or Alabama, open our diner that we want and buy our house. It would be nice to live in a small town where everyone knows everyone else again.

I must be going and on to my next adventure! Yay!

2010!

Not alot to say really but I will tell you this... I got myself engaged and still no date set but that's ok by me! Working way to much and then my computer is broken, but other than that I am happier than a clam in the ocean. :)

Later you guys.

Happy Turkey Day!!!

I know, I know, It's been a while and some of you are fiending for me like a crackhead ran dry, but I am only posting this to let y'all know that I am still alive... I didn't die in some freak truck accident on the way back to this lovely state. My computer is on the fritz right now and refuses to connect to the internet (insert sad face). Hopefully soon I will be able to get it fixed or figure out the problem, but for now, I must say... I have missed you all!!
Update on me. Working to jobs (Wick's on Goose Creek and the Goose Creek Diner), happy as a clam, and loving the being home with Patrick. It's been a hell of a couple months but it seems to be getting better everyday! But I must emphasize on my jobs. The boys at Wick's don't trust me, because I am the kitchen manager's girl friend... There is an unspoken code in the kitchen though and that is don't rat some one out because you may need them to cover your back in the future. At the diner, I am just a glorified dishwasher... I work with two ex Wick's employees who talk bad about Patrick in front me. I hate the job but for now it brings in the money.
I had 5 teeth filled on Monday and I don't ever want to do that again! Although I have to call and make at least 2 more appointments to have more teeth filled. I also need to get my wisdom teeth out still. But on a better note, Packers play the Lions today and I am freaking excited. Let's go Packers!! Whooo!
Anyways, I gotta get off for now and hopefully real soon, I'll be blogging from home!
Y'all, have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Lizz- That's two zz's! haha

Update!

This is Jes! I'm posting on Lizz's blog for her since her compy is on the fritz! She's currently back in Louisville and loving it down there. For those of you who've been wanting to meet up with her when she got back down there, she's at Wicks ALL THE TIME. So go meet here.

With that I'm off

Jes

The First Ever....

BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY!! Wohooo!
Now, I have been talking about this book non-stop to you guys, or so it seems, so I thought why not review it for you guys! So, on to the review!

Aftermath, Inc. Cleaning up after CSI Goes Home
by: Gil Reavill

This book is not for the weak stomached and definantly not for meant for those who are afraid to die or are afraid to face the fact that they will eventually pass from this world to the next. The reason I recommend this book is for the simple fact that many of us watch the crime scene shows (CSI, Law and Order, NCIS, Bones, etc.).
It starts out gruesome, explaining a double homicide/suicide. Explaining that sometimes crime scenes are the worst to clean up after.
"He was not done yet. He poured lighter fluid over Johnson's crotch are and set his testicles on fire. After allowing the flames to burn for a long beat- his best friend screaming at his feet, his estranged wife weeping one room away- Mazilli used his machine pistol to put a coup de grace bullet through Tommy Johnson's heart."
It slowly slips and slides through the many scenes Reavill helped the guys at Aftermath, Incorporated clean up. It seemed like he had help with everything from the double murder/suicide, teen suicide, homicide, and even decompisation. This book definantly wins points for gross out factors, but wait there's more!
He had many history lessons, including all about Aftermath and how they got started, Ed Gein, Al Capone, and the likes. Reavill talks about his feelings when he first enters the Aftermath offices and when he was finished with the the 'lesson learning'. He recounts his first clean up, and how he couldn't handle his weak stomach. With all of the almost morbid cast over the book, he still had some well placed witty remarks, including things about the Wicked Witch and Gil Grisom. My favorite part is the in depth look of a person, whether it be when he talked about entering the house and looking around, or the other Techs he worked with. Some of them, if not most, are ex-jocks that some how hold the business side very well and still be empathetic.
So, on the note of finishing this review, I'll leave you with this.
"In the most expansive view of the subject, a great deal of world literaturecan be classified as true crime, from Gilgamesh and Hamlet to The Passion of the Christ. But for me, the world of true crime, the world if Aftermath, was the opposite of clear-cut, morally certain territory. It was a deeply compromised place, just as messy and difficult to clean up as a job itself. Yes, I knew and honored the traditional forms of respect for the dead. But neither could I shake the relish, the satisfying sense of not-me, the voyeuristic thrill."
I hope you all try to put the squemishness past yourself and read this book! It made me want to work for Aftermath.

On another note: I am less than 14 hours from being home in Louisville!! Yay! I already know not very much reading is getting done this week, to much to do when I get back. But I will try to do BOOK REVIEW SUNDAY about twice a month, so look for the next one! I'm always reading about 6 books at once so I'll never know what I am going to finish next, so also keep an eye on my bookshelf. And if you have any suggestions, I am willing to take them. As they say don't judge a book by the cover, wait until you get done with the first chapter! Haha!
Well, I must sign off for now and hope you enjoy this lovely Sunday and the next post will be from Louisville!
