Long day

Last night after discovering my car window smashed and my purse gone I spent a good 4 hours on the phone with credit card companies, target, and the police.

I suspect that they saw the target debit card in my purse and immediately ran to the Target in the next town over to spend the shit out of my money. The target debit card wouldnt work for them because they didnt have my pin number so Im sure they just grabbed the next card down and swiped it as credit. So they got 2 transactions totaling about $400 out of my checking account before I got everything closed.

I have two cases open with two cities. The city I was robbed in and the city they spent the money in. I dont have high hopes either case will go anywhere.

I tossed and turned until the wee hours of the morning kicking myself for being so stupid. When I woke up and went to take a shower I was greeted by zero water pressure because I obviously murdered kittens in a past life. I didnt have time to figure out what was wrong or wait for the tub to fill up so I just kinda splashed some water on my head and called it done.

Maor drove me in my car to drop of Lea and take me to work. One of 3 checks that were floating out there waiting to be cashed was from the daycare. They saw my ghetto fabulous garbage bag covered window, dug out my uncashed check, and told me to get them the money after I got everything straight. That was really nice of them. The other 3 companies I had to call were also very understanding.

Before my lunch break Maor managed to find a place that had used windows that fixed it for a total of $100. That is a huge relief. I also got all my letters typed up to my bank disputing the charges and the officer in the town where my card was used showing that it was my card and account and no, I dont shop there...I was talking to another officer in another city about the card being stolen at that time.

My only problem was the DMV. After Maor and I traded cars I remembered I dont have cash and I dont have checks. Maor filled up the car for me so I wouldnt have to worry and went back to working. So I banged my head on my desk and mumbled to myself about how I cant get my money out of my bank account without an ID and I cant get an ID without money...stupid stupid stupid stupid...thunk thunk thunk. A coworker handed me $20 and told me to pay her back when I could. With that I was able to get the piece of paper saying they were sending me my ID which was enough to get into my bank account to pull out the money to pay her back....and buy me a bottle of wine because I deserved a drink.

So after putting Lea to bed, and fixing the shower head (turns out there was some stupid plastic thing in it... probably to make the water pressure lower...bah!...threw that shit out), Im typing up this post with a glass of wine in hand and patrolling Craigslist for my nook. I dont think the cops will be able to do anything with video footage but I might still be able to punch someone in the nose.

Im going to cry

I went to the gym today and for some dumb reason decided to leave my purse sitting in the back of my car. I dont even know what I was thinking and Im beating myself up over this.

So of course I get back to my car, get in, feel a breeze, look back, and said "Oh shit!"

My credit cards, my licence, my insurance cards, and my nook were in that purse. They didnt take anything else... just smashed my window and grabbed my purse.

The bad news is they went on a shopping spree at Target and spent around $400... and it will take my bank about 10 days to look into it and credit me the money back.

The good news is there are security cameras in the gym parking lot, at Target, and I have the serial number for my nook so if it shows up at a pawn shop I'll get it back.

So there is a very good chance I will get everything back... I just have to deal with the stress of fixing a window that we cant afford to do now after this little smash and grab event while my bank takes its time refunding me my money.

I hope they catch this person and I can spit on them. Fuckers.

In all fairness everyone's a little crazy this week.

Sorry for the earlier freak out. Sometimes you just have to let your ranting lose in a jar so the people who see you every day dont look at you like you have lost your marbles. Im ok. Really....

Ive been sick all week. I called in to work Monday and slept most of the day. It would have been fantastic if I wasnt sick. I feel mostly better. My throat is all messed up. I sound horrible. Laughing comes out as a wheezing death rattle. I cant taste anything which was very sad seeing as our manager treated us to a fantastic lunch at Erberts and Gerberts. The chili there will put hair on your chest.

We have had some insane calls come in this week. My favorites where a lady who wanted us to remove a dead hamster from behind her stove, a man who wanted us to fumigate for dust mites, an old woman who was just blown away that we cant prevent birds from landing in her yard, AND a lady that was trying to get me give her x ray results and wouldnt believe me when I told her she had the wrong company.

Maor has been busy this week. Ive barely seen him. Poor Lea latched on to him as soon as he got home refused to be farther than a few inches from him until she went to bed.
He has also had an interesting week with people. One person couldnt afford to get their house open so they traded him a gun for services. Its just an air rifle...I think its like a bb gun or even less lethal than that. He wants to keep it. I dont know why. His friend even got one too and they looked into what they can kill with it and what kind of licences they need. His friend has a thing for taxidermy and wants to get as many taxidermy items as he can to ship back to Israel because you cant get them there (he already has a moose head. Hes currently trying to talk down a guy with a tiger). All I can picture is his poor wife sitting in a house full of little stuffed squirrel trophies.
Im going to get dizzy from eye rolling come fall.

Someone stop me!

Buycostumes.com is having a sale!

I can think of 5 that I want.

Someone hold me back! Its not normal to want so many Halloween costumes! No one needs these many costumes!
No one wants to see me do a show as a Sexy Cup O Ramen!

I have a costume addiction.

Oh look, they even have stuff Maor would look sexy in.

AH! NO!

Weee

Friday was Maors birthday. We went to Fogo De Chao with friends. Its a fancy restaurant where they have a salad bar that you can go up to whenever you want then when you want meat you flip over a coaster and people literary keep shoving different types and cuts of meat in your face until you flip it back over. It was VERY good but also VERY pricey. We didnt buy any drinks and skipped desert because we were so full of steak and lamb and it was still over $100 for just me and Maor. We all agreed that while it was a nice experience and the meat was AWESOME it would be better to put that money towards a massive BBQ at home next time.

Saturday I really wanted to take Lea to the zoo. Lea wasnt mobile last time it was nice out but you could still tell she loved being out doors. Shes gets the biggest grin when she feels wind in her face. With this being the first nice weekend of the year I really wanted to get the most out of it. Maor asked that we wait to go to the zoo till Sunday because with the nice weather hes getting more jobs but Sunday is usually a slower day. Instead we took Lea down the street to the park. She loves the swing.

She did not like the feeling of sand on her hands. We sat her down in the dirt just to see what she would do and after putting one hand down she looked at us and cried until we picked her back up. The grass is still too wet and muddy to put her in so Im interested to see what her reaction is going to be to that.

Saturday night Maor and I did our show. We usually go for a lot longer but I suddenly felt like it was 100 degrees in the house and just felt really off. I thought it was because of the whole first time experience and its been warming up and we dont have AC but it turns out it was the start of a fever.

So no zoo today. Maor offered to take Lea without me but Im a little selfish and want to be there too when we take her for the first time. He took her back to the park instead and has fabulous juggling the cleaning, Lea, and my sicky whining.

Happy Birthday Maor!!

Maors 30th birthday is Friday!!

He wont let me throw him a party. He is what you would call a "party pooper".

Instead Im planning on taking him to Fogo De Chao Friday night. I hear its pricey but you only turn 30 once.

Saturday we are going to take Lea on her first trip to the zoo.

Saturday night Im planning a show and letting Maor pick what he wants to do. That means even the stuff that I wont usually let him do...cause its his birthday.

I think this will be a good weekend :P

Kinda ranty

Maor and I have been doing a lot of shows recently. So you can imagine that with all the shows and our regular sex life, we are having a lot of sex. Tons of it really. Possibly too much sex but Im not a doctor so I couldnt say that for sure.
So when I was late I freaked out a little. Maor suddenly had dreams of a little boy named Moshi and told Lea she might get a little brother like it was a good thing and I freaked out even more.
I did finally start my period again today. 2 weeks late. I have no idea why because nothing in my life has changed except the 1 to 3 more doses of sex in a week. Maor is disappointed and Im overly aggressive and hurty.

So on the day where Im most aggressive a woman at work was reading an article about the Boston bombers wife and suddenly said, "Why doesnt she stop wearing that scarf thing now?"
I said, "Because its part of her religion."
She says, "Yeah but her husbands dead now so she can stop."
*me goes snap*
I ripped her a new one about how even though it is possible she only converted for him its more likely she actually BELIEVES in the religion and wishes to keep practicing the religion. Sane people dont just change religions all willy nilly. When a coworker pointed out that I converted for Maor I said "Yeah but I wouldnt have done it if I didnt stand behind its moral values and overall teachings. If Maor goes on a killing spree Im not going to stop being Jewish because he turned out to be a psycho. Just because there was one bad egg and she happened to be married to it doesnt mean all the eggs are bad and we need to throw them out the god damn window. "
This woman shrugged and said, "Oh her parents will make her stop"
*head/desk*

What the fuck is wrong with people?
