1797stupid 'orange alert'

 

Dec. 22, 2003

 

 

This shit means absolutely *nothing*...it is such a crock. Panic! No,
wait, don't panic. Go on about your business. NO, it's an orange
alert. But, really, don't worry. Everything is under control.

crazy. Were I a paranoid conspiracy theorist I'd think we were being
conditioned or something.

Austin On High Alert For Terror Threat
Mon Dec 22, 8:52 AM ET


Travel plans should go as scheduled. That's the word from Texas
officials after the federal government raised the national threat
level to orange, the second-highest. It's not an indication there's a
known threat to the state. Kathy Walt is a spokeswoman for Governor
Rick Perry. She says the level change shouldn't let the warning
affect their holiday plans. Walt says the state's Emergency
Operations Center already was working 24 hours a day, even before the
terror alert level was raised. The federal government said threat
indicators are "perhaps greater now than at any point" since
September Eleventh, 2001, with strikes possible during the holidays.
Adam Wine is chief warrant officer with the U-S Coast Guard. He said
officials had no information about any direct threats to Houston,
Galveston or other areas along the Texas shoreline. Emergency
preparedness crews are stepping up security measures across the
state, including here in Austin.At Austin Berg! strom International
Airport, police have begun random vehicle inspections. Governor Rick
Perry's office issued this statement on Sunday, concerning the
elevated terror level.At this time there is no known threat for
Texas. The Governor urges Texans to continue to be vigilant. If you
see any suspicious activity, contact your local law enforcement
officers. Otherwise, go about your daily lives and continue with your
holiday plans

1798January $ stuff

I will be so glad to get rid of this fuckin' lease.

I'm getting hosed again on the car bill, for sales tax stuff AGAIN.

Instead of the $359 I usually owe monthly, I owe $664.64

Jeezus fuckin' christ.

So...My estimated income in Jan is 1911.11, the usual.

My estimated expenses in January are 1441.33. yow.

But, that leaves $469.78 for groceries.

That isn't that bad. It looks worse than it is.

But, still, I will be *so* glad to get rid of this fuckin lease!!!

1799Hottie Reuben's Cashier

 

Dec. 22, 2003

 

 

Made a second try at Grapevine market, but it just wasn't...'right'.
I dunno. The scotch set I wanted for my dad was gone. All they had
was large bottles of everything, and I didn't need large bottles of
stuff like peppermint schnapps & little 'flavor' type ingredients. I
wandered, people kept getting in my way (no kids this time)...feh. I
will go back for the $10 case of Shiner and some Mozart's chocolate
liqueur, which Reubens didn't have.

But, I went to Reuben's and found almost everything I needed for
cheaper, anyway.

And the cashier was a total babe. I mean, I was babbling and blushing
and acting like a complete DORK because of how incredibly hot this
guy was. He had that kind of bad-boy thing going, tight Reuben's T
shirt (great abs, great biceps!), tight jeans (great ass), kind of
slicked back hair, and this great smile...OMG. I was a total idiot.
He could have charged me, like, a million dollars and I would have
just kept babbling and signed the credit slip. Jeezus.

I hope I am NEVER EVER EVER single again. Because I am a complete
moron when my hormones start fizzing for someone. Man...wow...Is it
hot in here or is it just me???

If I had had a decemberween invite with me, I would have given it to
him. (like my party needs any more guys--I looked over my guest list
and almost all the women who are coming are lesbians in couples or in
hetero/mono couples)

wow...I am so straight & hetero & monogamous these days, I don't even
have sex with other men in my _dreams_. And here I was getting all
goofy and silly over this cute Reuben's boy. Good lord.

Is it because Sweetie left this a.m.? Is it some side effect of the
Essure? I dunno...it was pleasant, but so very stupid.
