Taco Toe... 1st Strike!

I went to the podiatrist and he removed the ingrown side of the nail. He said that if it continues to grow in jacked up, he can remove the side and cauterizing it. It hurt like a mo-fo. The Novocaine hurt the most. He had to double dose me with it because I am a total wimp. First of all, I hate having anyone touch my feet. I got a thing about my feet. Second, I was "ouch...ouch...ouch..." and giggling uncontrollably because it hurt. My poor mom; I was holding her hand & squeezing it. Third, I am a totally wimp when it comes to pain. I couldn't even watch while he was doing the procedure. It is so strange, I can watch the grossest stuff on TV or whatever, but I can't watch anything being done to me. I did want to see the gnarly piece he took out when he was done. It was long and thin and still had bits of toe flesh on it. Darn, I should've taken a pic of it. I wasn't sure I could take pics & post here. This is my first. Yes, this is the dreaded Taco Toe under wraps. My mom gave me some Norco to take for the pain. Man, those things get you higher than a kite. I am still loopy & the last one I took was at 9pm last night. Well, after all is said & done, I am still alive & now my toe throbs to the beat of the Darth Vader march.

Papa can you hear me? & Space Twisters...

Today is my dad's birthday. I still haven't talked to him since my aunt was first diagnosed with cancer and before that it was a year or so if I remember. My uncle keeps on trying to get my brother & me to go see him, but I am leaving it up to my brother if he wants to go see him. There was a big blow up between him & my brother. Not sure why he quit talking to me. That is just the way he is. Oh well. I don't take it personally because I know it wasn't me. I am sure someday I will have to talk to him again but it doesn't really get to me until today, father's day & the holidays. He's stubborn and I know that if we go up there, it will be like nothing had occurred. I am not sure if my brother will be able to accept that but I wouldn't expect anything less. Oh well. Stoopid stubborn Greeks. Happy birthday, asshole. Thanks for the DNA & good teeth... (Really, my mom has horrible teeth. I was lucky I got my fathers teeth. I never needed braces. My brother, not so lucky..)

On a lighter note, I was watching a special on the discovery channel last night on weather in the universe & I kinda got freaked out about some big space tornado. Here I am typing listening to "Lovertits" by Peaches, typing, being bored at work & somewhere out there a HUGE tornado thing is spinning. Oh FYI Neptune has the most powerful winds in the solar system. I guess it's weird because it only gets about 1% sunshine and scientists used to think that you need heat for wind. They say that because there is no friction on the planet, it just keeps getting faster & faster. Neptune averages 1000 mph wind. Crazy... I couldn't stay awake to learn about rain across the universe.

More Taco Toe, Douche Bag Boyfriend Wisdom & Potato Salad

My mom screwed up the day of my appointment so I don't get my Taco Toe taken care of until next week. I was telling my old pal "Inka" about my Taco Toe & she laughed but then said that she had to go because she wanted to go get some tacos because of my Taco Toe.

I was talking to another pal about her douche bag ex & I was likening him to "Calibos" from "Clash of the Titans" because her ex had no endearing qualities what so ever. I told her he was like Calibos because he was a douche & he wanted to kill her unicorn spirit. I also said that they should sell shock collars for people who date douche's and every time you talk or think about them, you get a little shock... (On a side note, when I was looking for a pic of Calibos, I stumbled onto an 80's metal band with the same name....darn...)

I made potato salad for the first time this past weekend for my grandma's b-day party & it turned out purdy good. My cousin's wife called me yesterday to ask if I wanted to make any extra money by making some potato salad for her sisters engagement party because mine was so darn tasty. I get to make $40 bucks!

PS... My mom made the appointment for me because it was her appointment originally and she couldn't go because of work, so she called & switched it to me... It totally sounded like my mommy makes my doctors appointments for me...

Revenge of Taco Toe...

I am so bummed. I have to go on Thursday to get an ingrown toe nail, I have dubbed "Taco Toe" because of the way it is growing, taken care of. I am glad that I will have some relief from the pain, but it is going to cost me $300 because I don't have any health insurance. This means that some bills won't be paid on time, but more importantly, I will not be able to see George Michael in San Jose. I've wanted to see him since I was little. I absolutely love George Michael. He is one of my favorites. He is an amazing artist, (I'm not kidding). Damn you Taco Toe.....

Defeated by marshmallows & the Bog Waiver...

This weekend, Drummergirl & I attempted to make hippie marshmallows. We were defeated in two different attempts. I scoured online today to see if I could find another recipe but I found that most of the chats concerning vegan marshmallows said that they never come out right. We will try until we are victorious... (Yes that is a Jesus Peep)

I went online today to see if I could apply for the Bog Waiver for school this summer & fall but, alas, I made $200 over the max you could earn for last year... Ain't that a bitch? Oh well, I think I just need to get myself knocked up & then I could get all the free school money I need but I don't think I am ready to quit smoking, so I will have to work hard & continue to pay for all of it myself...

On a happier note, Mockula's & Pigg's Zadie arrived and she is absolutely beautiful. Seriously, most babies are pretty ugly but she is a gorgeous baby.
