I’ve been meaning to post the past few days but each time I start, I get distracted. Imagine that: me, distracted! Shocking, I know. Last night I watched almost all of the Olympic opening ceremonies, although I did go to bed before the torch was lit. In my opinion, these were the most watchable opening ceremonies that I can remember … I was mesmerized.
Yesterday, my mom and I went to the local art museum to see an exhibit of Egyptian items. I’m a member so the tickets for the exhibit were free … which is good, because it wasn’t really worth the $12 ticket price. It was interesting, there just wasn’t a whole lot there. I did walk around for an hour though … which totally tuckered me out. I ended up taking a 90-minute nap in the afternoon. 
Tonight, I’m taking my mom to the divey drag bar to see my friend Gina perform. My mom is excited! She’s been wanting to see Gina for months. Hopefully my mom won’t be too turned off by the bar LOL. It isn’t the nicest place … Gina did ask me what my mom’s favorite Cher song was. I’m sure it will be a fun night!
I saw this over at Clusterfook and I can’t resist a personality quiz. The results were pretty accurate.

My mom won’t stop watching QVC. God help me. The jewelry … it’s hideous!
Unfortunately, it’s me Sodapop again.
Miss Monique is back in the hospital due to some complications with something. She was released yesterday, was home at 4pm and then got very ill. Her mom took her back to the ER and they admitted her again. She will be there at least until tomorrow.
I spoke to her this afternoon, she’s in good spirits and I’m not going to go into details about why she ended up going back to the hospital. I’ll leave that for her.
I just wanted to let ya’ll know she was back there.
Until next time…
As I predicted over at The Soda Stand, I heard from Miss Monique today. She was quite bored there in the hospital room.
Monique should be in the hospital for another day or so, hopefully she’ll be released tomorrow so she can get home and update us all on exactly what the specifics are of her hospital stay. I know she didn’t sleep very much last night, due to them coming in and out of the room to take vitals, blood and whatever else they do in hospitals to keep you awake.
She’s taken a few walks around the hospital area. Her mom has been keeping her company and walking with her (I think - didn’t ask specifically but knowing her mom - she was walking with her.)
I’m very certain that when she gets home and in her own bed, she will be able to rest much more and get some more healing that way.
The next update just may be from Miss Monique herself!
Until next time…
Hey everyone, Sodapop here.
I received a call from Miss Monique’s mom at around 4:20 p.m. I missed the call, but she left a message saying that the surgeon said the surgery went well and Monique was resting well.
I’m sure I will have more updates as I get them, so stay tuned!
YAY for Monique’s surgery going well! I can’t wait to hear from her directly! I’m having my Monique withdrawal right now. We’ve talked via email, text and/or voice everyday for like a year now.
Until next time…
I’ve been pretty tired the last few days and I wasn’t all that surprised when I woke up this morning feeling like I had been hit in the face with a board. My face hurt, my ears hurt, my throat hurt, ugh. I got in to see the nurse practitioner — the same beyotch I dealt with late last year who acted like my augmentin allergy was my fucking fault, since she couldn’t prescribe that to me — who, lo and behold, agreed that I have a sinus infection. To make matters worse, I also had cramps today. How is THAT fair???
I didn’t start to feel better until 7 p.m. or so. I napped on and off today so I’m going to take some tylenol PM tonight so hopefully I’ll be able to sleep some. Blech.
I’m in a mood tonight. I know why, I’m not feeling 100%, I’m bored, I’m lonely, I’m not going to the Ville this weekend because my car’s brakes are acting up, and I have zero plans for the weekend. I was — God help me — actually checking out MM’s MySpace page to see what he’s been up to. Then I realized what I was doing and why. He bored me, the spark came and went, he has that fucking house … so why am I thinking about him? Boredom is a dangerous thing, my friends.
If you stop by Miss Sodapop’s place, give her a hug. Tomorrow is the anniversary of a very sad day for her. You know I’ll be thinking about you, punkin’.
Friday, my coworker S lost her job. She was a happy bitch, practically dancing, while I was pouty. It wasn’t a surprise, she had been told that her position might be eliminated, but still. I’m running out of people to talk to at the office! Not surprisingly, I didn’t get much done yesterday. It was all yap, yap, yap all day. People gossiping, people talking, whatev. Allegedly, this is the last of the planned cuts. I don’t know. I guess it’s all out of my control and I’m grateful to have a job. I’m also grateful that S. was so pleased. I hope she can make a new start.
I’m tired of my pale skin so I bought self-tanner Friday night. I got a spray so it’s easier to get my back. The first coat turned out pretty light, which is good, I suppose, so I put more on last night. So far, no Oompa Loompa-ness, which is always a plus.
This weekend has pretty much been a blur, it’s ridiculous how quickly the time goes even when I’m not doing a damn thing!
So. My beloved friend Ricardo has tagged me with this meme about 6 quirks that I have. Six? Only six? I may have to pare this down a bit …
1. I will not touch unfinished ceramic items. Will. Not. Cannot stand the feel. It makes me shudder and want to scream. Yuck.
2. I am terrified of grasshoppers. I’ve talked about this before but it is seriously true. They scare me beyond measure.
3. While watching hockey, I clap my hands above my head when the Red Wings score. I don’t do this any other time and have no idea why I do it during hockey games.
4. The first time a potential new gentleman friend calls me I will not answer the phone — even if the phone is literally right next to me. I have to hear the guy’s voice on the message before I’ll talk to him. I don’t recall never returning a call because I didn’t like what I heard … but the potential is always there!
5. I can’t stand to listen to programs with listeners who call in, whether it’s on the radio or QVC or something. It makes me so uncomfortable. I’m on edge, waiting for people to embarrass themselves. I think I learned this from my mom.
6. Speaking of my mom, if there is a beauty pageant on and we are together, we will watch it. Miss Universe is the favorite, thanks to the parade of nations, but Miss America also is good because of the “talent” segment. I am always interested in who the judges are. Why? Couldn’t tell you.
Now I’m going to tag Miss Sodapop, Miss Lucy, Miss Laci, Ari, Tori and Jen.
Show us your quirks, ladies! 
Well, kinda. Stole this from Miss Sodapop’s site.
