Okay, let me say that it is scary that we only have two months left of 2016 when once we get through October. That is frighten to comprehend,
Where did the year go and for the time being I can only remember the year being a year of shootings and riots. Of course, there is the President election with the entertaining Donald Trump! (Yeah, I said it! Not voting for his ass!)
So believe it or not our day into October is a scary holiday for real! October 1st is National Ghost Hunting Day! I can not remember what channel it is on cable but they have all these Ghost Chasers Shows that I was absolutely annoyed by whenever Pat would watched them. (Sidebar: No longer living with Pat! Now I can get some damn sleep!!) Now I am not interested in chasing any damn ghost let alone visiting any damn hunted house! I might visit Great America for their Halloween Special, I said I might!! Strong ass might here!
I, personally can not wait until October 4th which is National Taco Day and National Vodka Day! The Lord must have heard my prayers for this one. This day is a given!! When I go to the Mexican restaurant and order tacos, I want a good Jose Cuevero Gold Margrita with extra Gold, of course. However that margrita can not go with most of the tacos that are out there. If you are having a seafood taco or a Pork al Pastor then you have Vodka on the run or a mix drink with Vodka mixed in to get the better taste of the tacos. In fact if you are having any kind of pork taco I recommend that you have a Vodka kind of drink to go with.
October 6th is National Mad Hatter Day. I think on this day I will rent Alice and the Wonderland Part 1 & 2 to pay tribute to the character, not Johnny Deep. (Sidebar: I am so happy to hear that all the drama with him has died down.) This is also Nation Noodle Day! I would need a bottle of Sujo to go with my ramen noodle, a bottle (or two) of Sake to go with my Pho and a bottle of Plum wine to go with my Udno noodles.
October 10th is National Kick Butt Day! This could be bad on so many levels because for all those people who told some one that they were going to kick their kick butt, like that manager or supervisor who fired you, your day is truly coming. Because it now a national holiday!! (Siderbar: If the managers and/or supervisors were smart in their position, they should take this day off from work! And hide.)
October 12th is National Freethought Day! I think that not just for myself, but also for a few others, we need this day everyday for those Blonde moments.
October 13th is National No Bra Day! I am frighten when I see my own shit hanging, I sure in the hell don't want to see somebody else's shit hanging!!!! With some women that can be truly frightening.
October 15th is National Grouch Day. This does not need to be a holiday because it is America's 3rd favorite past time!
October 16th is National Dictionary Day. Isn't dictionary now consider a cuss word? We have Google!
October 17th is National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day. This is also wrong on so many level because 60% of the people do not know what a virtual desktop is while you still have 80% of the people who still have not learned to clean off the kitchen table. The remaining 20% belongs to the mothers who not lone clean off that kitchen but also what virtual desktop is. And NO!! She does not know how to clean that up!
October 21st is National Reptile Awareness Day. YEAP!! I will have me a new bag, some new pair shoes and a belt. YEAP, that will be my awareness!!
October 27th is National American Beer Day, now is a holiday that 7 out of 10 would consider a this a everyday holiday.
Than we have October 31 which is National Caramel Apple Day, National Knock-knock Jokes Day, National Magic Day, Girl Scout Founder's Day and Halloween. How does not love caramel apples? When I see them in season I usually buy 2 or 3 3-package at a one time. As for Knock-knock jokes if you got a good one let me know. Those jokes are scary from the start of Knock-knock joke.
Now Girls Scouts can be scary all by themselves, they do not need Halloween. When they start selling those cookies, buy some asap!
I can not wait for Halloween to get here to see how Dallas will celebrate. Let's see if I can end the month on a scary note.

A Moving Experience!
Y'all I know that I have been slacking for two months, however, I have a very good reason. . . . I moved!
Yeap! I took another leap into another adventure in my life.
This move has been in the works since the beginning to the year. Though I had one major factor in my mind at that time, however, it is funny when life throw some many things at you that will cause you think again as to what is currently going in your life.
You know how in your last few weeks or n recent weeks, reality always gives you something that will leave you in a state of mind that will cause you to either conscience or non-conscience make a change in your current place that slowly starts to hit you. Regardless if it is a decision of changing jobs or moving across the city, across the state or across the nation. And the next thing you know is that you have to make a move or this move for best for you.
Then came crunch time! See during the summer I was packaging all my things in tubs, the big 44 gallon tubs. I got rid some book and packed away my fall and winter clothing and boots. Repacked all the kitchen dishes and got rid of summer clothes to replace them with new summer dresses. But when it came to the shoes, I do not think some of y'all understand how hard it was trying to narrow it down to which shoes were going with me: which high heels scandals should go in the suitcase, which should be shipped to Dallas or scandals go into the tubs for storage.
Yes people it was a huge dilemma for me!
During that dilemma, I had to decide whether or not to use private movers or get a POD: the POD was cheaper and more convenient. But with getting the POD I have to get a permit to place the POD on the main street since we did not have a driveway in the front or the back of the house. I had to make countless phone calls to City Hall, who then, in turn, call me back numerous of time to inform me that the street I live is a major Avenue and it cost me $200 for a 2-day permit. Yeap!
But wait! It is getting more stressful.
I had decided to ship the majority of my summer clothes to Dallas and I had scheduled for my summer clothes to be shipped by FEDEX. I had seven packages ready to be picked up on September 6th and when the day came, I waited all day until 8 p.m. and they did not show up. Okay, livid stage 1!
So I called FEDEX, spoke to a representative who let me know that there was no scheduled time for the pickup. WHAT?! When I did schedule them online your company's website did not get time or else I would not be talking to a representative about this. And according to the representative they can come pick them up tomorrow after 12 noon. No the hell you can not unless FEDEX wishes to buy me another AMTRAK ticket to Dallas. In a sleeper, of course!? Okay, livid stage 2!
So long story short, the next day I had to rent a car to drop the seven packages off at a FEDEX Shipping Center at 8 in the morning. What fun did I have! Explaining the situation to employees at the Shipping Center, they gladly helped with the package and made sure that they were sent.
Until they called me while I am en route to Chicago to tell me that my packages had to be repackaged so that they do not damage while being shipped. Okay and thank you, and it turned out that they put the 4 small tubs in 3 huge big boxes however the very large tote had to be open and everything in there was put in a huge large box. Okay.
My over-night trip in an AMTRAK sleeperette was comfortable complete with meals. It even came with an attendant who turned down our bed and got us anything else that we may need. And let not forget to tell y'all that the sleeper car came with showers. You can find that in coach!
Upon arriving in Dallas, of the 4 suitcases that I traveled with, the largest of the four was severely damaged enough that I had to file a damage claim with AMTRAK.
Upon arriving at the cousin's house, I had to quickly schedule Time Warren to get cable, internet, and phone bundle in the house ASAP!
Upon getting settled in my cousin's house, need to clean the house and there is no food!! Let me get dolled up and go to Walmart for all the things that I need to take care and run this house. Lord!!
Upon that Saturday arriving and FEDEX delivering my packages, all was good and that include my "baby" HP desktop. But my flat screen television, y,all I was simply flabbergast beyond belief. When I called FEDEX I could not even cuss them out because I was just too astonished from the outcome of the delivery. Yes, I filed a claim because I did have insurance on television. But here is the irony of the delivery: so the lady is claims said that they will ship the television back to its original point of location, and I said: "Young lady, I shipped it to Dallas." Which she still give me a confirmation for them the pick up the television and then for me to tell the person who came to picked the television up that I shipped it to myself. How are you going to ship it back to me when I moved from Milwaukee to Dallas to myself? (Yes, laugh at the stupidity of this one!)
But wait, the final climax from FEDEX came that Monday afternoon, people. I go to check my bank account to see what pennies were still there and to my growing surprise with FEDEX, I see an amount taken that I sure in the hell did not agree. And what department in FEDEX did you think that I called? (Take a guess?)
BILLINGS!!!! And you bet your sweet ass, that only did I relay the entire FEDEX events including filing the claims on my television, but I also asked them to at least be reasonable regarding the bill for the entire matter.
Remember people, I am way too astonished to cuss! In fact, y'all I had to let the accountant in Billings know I was still to astonished to be mad. And I wondering how is it the FEDEX can packages for business with such care but for residents be so sloppy in handling their personal packages?
Ladies and gentlemen, I got two claims, a Time Warren bundle, and a refund all from moving to Dallas. Other than the freaking heat down here, I can not wait to see what else Dallas has for me!
And this boy here needs new pots and pans, and silverware . . . . all hell I just need to make a list!!
