I don't watch South Park much, but this was kinda the buzz on twitter last night/this morning.  I lol'd.  Except about 5 minutes and 30 seconds in, where I couldn't handle it (about 5:30 to 6:30).

I really, really miss everyone.

I miss my daughter.  She is on spring break this week and has been with her father/aunt since last Saturday and will stay there 'til Sunday. 

I miss my brother and sis-in-law.  They are a million miles away. 

I miss my parents.  Since I work every day, I can't make it back home to hang with them.

I miss my sister. Even though she's a bitch.

I miss my niece. I put up with my sister for my niece.

I miss my grandpa.  I saw someone that reminded me of him and my heart was ripped from me.  I went up and hugged that old man hard and I wished he was my grandpa. 

I really, really miss everyone.  This week, it's been hard. 

Convo via text.

Goldie: Getting a landline again tomorrow.

olivia.: Why are you getting a landline?

Goldie: Ha! I don't know... Cus it's cheap?

olivia.: NO landline is cheaper than a cheap landline.

Goldie: OMG. Is this a riddle? I'm confused!

olivia.: Haha. I just lol'd

The end.

Am I crazy for being confused?

Guys.  Ohmigawd!  I have the best litebritetwin EVER!

As you may or may not know, I've been having a rough few weeks.  Through it all, I've had one sistren who has been my listening ear - my litebritetwin: Shelly .  She always tells me that she wants me to be happy cus I deserve it.  That is SO easy to forget, and she steady reminds me.  And I try to remind her.  Cus we all need that reminder.

The other day, she casually says, "Hey, I'm sending you something, so don't be freaked out when you get a package."  HA!  Fair warning.  Remember how I was having a typical Goldie meltdown a few days ago about The Body Shop discontinuing my favorite smell ever?  She freaking got me TWO tubs of the Warm Amber body butter. 

So so awesome

I proceeded to tear up like a baby cus that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. 

On a side note, I knew a package was coming, but I didn't know what.  The receptionist lets me know that I have a package at the front desk and the box says, "Toastich - cripy and buttery flavored grilled dough filled with cheese blend."  I was like, "OHMIGAWD! SHE GOT ME COMFORT FOOD! HOW FREAKING AWESOME!" I was genuinely excited about her shipping me frozen comfort foods.  Then I opened it for the real goodies.

Thanks again, Shelly.  You make me happy. 

There was a woman who was going to buy all these flipflops, but changed her mind while at the register.

I noted a while ago that I hate who I am in a relationship.  I didn't quite know what that meant until I sat and thought about it while he and I amicably broke up past week.

And I felt reallllly bad for about a day, then I didn't feel so bad.

The worst feeling wasn’t from realizing that we’re not bf/gf anymore.  It came from:

·        Thinking for SO long I was ready, and then realizing the quick, hard way that I wasn’t.

·        Having him be my lesson.  UGH.  Why couldn’t I have learned some other way?

·        Seeing myself be so destructive. Then KNOWING I was being destructive.  And not having the strength/knowledge/inner-what-the-fuck-ever to stop it.  I was being who I HATED (see: cycle of abuse).

Granted.  There were other external factors involved.  I’m not sitting here in a state of self-blame.  But, really, I am just not ready to be in a relationship.  And it took me getting there, effing it up (plus the other things), trying to glue it back together and then realizing that it was irreparable.

We’re still friends, blahblahBLAH. 

Ugh.  Sucks.

I picked up a penny from the ground yesterday. It was supposed to bring me luck.

Eye masks aren't just for froufy (sp?) women who wear kitten heels and satin bathrobes with fur around the edges.

They are for people like you and me too!

The first time I used an eye mask to sleep was when I went to Europe and my folks gave me one (along with the melatonin I od'd on) to help me sleep on the plane.

It was kinda a lightweight mask, but it served it's purpose:

Blocked the light out
Kept my eyes from opening

I geeked to my brother about how awesome it was recently, and for my birthday, he got me the bad mama jama of sleeping eye masks:

It's thick as heck. And stuffed with soft stuff.

It covers my ears to block sound out

It's satin

I kid you not (god, I hate that phrase!), I can be wide awake, but when I put that thing on, it's like the melatonin overdose of 2008, but it a good way. I use it. A lot. And I've never woken up without getting some good rest in.

Go do yourself a favor and try an eye mask.

Warm amber body crack

I bought this stuff during the season.  Initially, I wasn't crazy about it, but it was $5 at the time.  Turns out it's the sh*t.  I freaking love it.  LOVE it.  And I'm running out.  The $5 price tag shoulda been a hint to me: it's either $5 cus it sucks or cus it is going to be DISCONTINUED (!!!!)

This past weekend, I stopped into The Body Shop hoping to pick up, like, hecka more.  Turns out it was a seasonal item.  NO!  With much determination, I told the lady at the store that I'd write the company to see if they had a box sitting in the corner of some warehouse that they could ship to me.  She said "Good luck," but her look said, "B*tch.  You sound crazy.  All fanatic about some lotion.  Good mother effing luck."

Whatevs.  I wouldn't and couldn't be phased. 

A few days ago, I wrote an email.  Kissed a little product butt (I LOVE YOUR GUYS STUFF) and then got into crack fiend mode (PLEAAAASSSE TELL ME YOU HAVE SOME MORE OF THIS STUFF.  CUS SEE. I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS SEASONAL.  MY BAD!  I STOLE THIS TV AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FOR 2 TUBS OF WARM AMBER BODY BUTTER).

Just got the most generic email back that can be summed up as:

"Dear Out-Of-Luck-Customer:

Thanks for begging us for our product.  We're glad you are addicted.  BUT!  This product has been discontinued in the US (more on this later*).  There's a few reasons we discontinue products:

• Nobody likes the stuff anymore.
• We introduce you to new forms of crack each year, so we need to make room on our shevles for said new crack. Thus bumping the old crack off the shelves.  Go peep American Gangster if you want to understand the new crack/old crack principle. 
• We find new ingrediants that don't involve us using bunnies and my little ponies and stuff.  So, ethically, we gotta use the non-bunny stuff.
• People don't like the stuff anymore, but on a worldwide level.
• Because some douchebag supplier ran out of the special crack-y ingredient.

We didn't make this decision lightly.  I mean.  We totally stocked up on this lotion before we stopped sending it to stores and that stuff was HEAVY.  Not a light decision at all.

Sincerely,

I-Smell-Hecka-Good-Like-Warm-Amber-Body-Butter-And-You-Don't"

That's not exactly how the letter went, but that's how I FEEL after I read it, re-read it, and then re-read it again through tears.

Ok.  Take it like a WOMAN!  SHOP AROUND! (pardon my sexist stereotype, but let's keep it real...)

I paroused the net.  I thought, I would buy this stuff on the black market if it meant I could leave the house smelling hecka good like warm amber body butter again.  And I found it.  AND I FOUND IT ON THE BATH & BODY WORKS WEBSITE!  Interesting.  Cus I totally went to the site the other day and it wasn't there.  I'm looking around the site to make sure I haven't fallen into some time warp and making sure it's not actually December.  Nope.  I'm good.  The Warm Amber Body Butter is just in the "Last Chance" section. 

As I'm about to order hecka containers, I see this:

Canada

*What is that flag doing there?  Oh.  No matter.  I'm gonna proceed to purchase.  Then I realize that the website URL reads: thebodyshop.ca  The I proclaim:

"OH, CANADA"

Then I start to chuckle, cus that's the Canadian National Anthem.  Then I get angry cus I can't order from the Candian site.

ARGH!

Turns out I'm gonna have to order from eBay or something.  I've never ordered from eBay.  As saavy as I am on the net, I've never done the eBay thing.  But I totally will. 

Cus it is THAT serious.
