Coming of Age
A major milestone has been reached by someone very important to me.
Actually I should say someTHING because - as we all know - cars are NOT capable of emotion or reason. It just seems like they are.
Anyway, guess what. KERPLUMPY turned over fifty thousand miles!! Yay Kerplumpy!
To celebrate, we're going to the carwash. Tomorrow, when I get paid. I think the Plump is tired of wearing a veritable salad consisting of bird poop and unidentifiable fruits and leaves.
Kerplumpy is also showing other signs of age. Someone, not me, wasn't careful with his tender, delicate little front fenders in the company garage and gave him a little dent.
Really, it's okay. It kind of makes him look super tough.
Someone else I know is coming up on a major change. Actually, it is two people I know. One is our lovely LOUD CORRAL and the other is her equally lovely mother. The little one is off to college in just a couple of weeks. I am happy for her.
BUT THIS IS HUGE.
I can remember this kid when she was a four year old bratty brat. And a nine year old super brat AND a 12 year old Mega brat.
Now, she is simply a beautiful, funny, generous and loving person (having gone through adolescence before most people are old enough to have braces) and is a joy to have around.
MOST of the time. ha ha just kidding.
PISS so I am going to miss her. Even if I don't see her as much as I'd like, I get to hear about all the stuff she does on a daily basis because her mommy is one of my favorite people, besides being a co-worker.
And - oddly - ANOTHER change - also involving a Corral - is affecting my life. Our lovely Jelly has been given much happier hours at work. This is wonderful for her but suck-a-LICIOUS for me. How am I supposed to function without my favorite fellow denizen of the gulag? It's a lonely, sad little daily existence in my cubicle of doom.
I think I need some french fries.
xoxoxo little hugs and small kisses xoxoxo
PS:
I almost forgot!!
The long national nightmare is over.
Yes. That's right. Van Halen is touring - with David Lee Roth as the frontman.

i can't believe our little laura is going away, either. these young'uns have to stop growing up!
as for the gulag... my dear, YOU are the sunshine there! sucks to be without jelly, i'm sure (no, i know... because i'm without you both and it kinda sucks) ... but it would really suck for everyone if you weren't there either.
(how many times can i use "sucks" in one comment?)
oh my. oh my oh my oh my. first of all, congratulations and happy mileage to kerplumpy. kerfluffy? i already forgot the spelling. sorry. happy mileage day to ker-wheels.
and...yes. the departure of her lovely loudness. tonight i am practicing living without her. on the way home, i picked up chinese food. then i stopped at the grocery and picked up some fruit and veggies and a lifetime supply on tampons. then i came home, put away the stuff (something i could usually count on the loud one to do for me) and dished up dinner. and turned on Fresh Air.
this is adaptive behavior. i am trying to look on The Bright Side. the child doesn't like to have chinese food for dinner, so that's something i GET to do, right? she also doesn't tend to enjoy NPR with dinner. another upside, right? This Is Gonna Be So Much Fun For Me. yay?
sniffle.
i'm practicing being sad and missing her.
OKAY FRIKKIN' SNAP OUT OF IT SISTER!
okay, so i DO miss her already. i'm annoyed that the sperm donor has monopolized one of the few, precious nights we have left...by inviting her to dinner with his New Kids. even more annoyed that he used the kids as bait, since he knows L cannot resist a little one.
okay, stop using miss cheese's blog to whine! it's all gonna be okay. sure, there'll be sad, missing moments. but it's all part of the path to our big new adventures.
besides...i have D and T and A and S and D and J (not THAT J. the other one) and K and P and N and many many many many loving and kind and wonderful alphabet friends who will provide soft shoulders during the sad times, and wild, innappropriate diversion during the fun times... and it's all gonna be okay.
why does everything i write tonight look misspelled?
xoxoxo, V-Rab
oh shit. i pulled a betsy. awl about me.
i will do my best to cheer up the gulag in the morning. and T is right. you ARE the morning brightness in the word factory!
perhaps you can borrow a tip from a friend we have in common: charity. start skipping through the word factory, handing out highlighters to people, saying (adapted for venue) "i'm bright as a rainbow, want to be my happy spot?"
kisses, me
aww dee! that made me feel so sad! and im not leaving in a couple weeks..im leaving monday! so so soon!! i really wish i could see u before then..but *sigh* i will miss u so much! thanks for the mcdonalds trips even though i was such a major brat!
