Hello all!
Phoning in from my little bungalow on a sweetly dreary rainy Sunday night. About 3 minutes ago, I sent a real ugly Snapchat to some close friends wishing them a happy Sunday. Anybody else only use the "ugly" filters on Snapchat? Is that just me? I feel like it probably is. Like I don't use Snapchat to be all model-esque. If I have you on Snapchat, it is a sure sign that I trust you with the sensitive material aka pictures of me with 8 chins vs the normal 2 and a half.
It is funny really, I have like 206 Snapchat names because I only tend to Snap when I am out with friends and they are doing it. I will use it for like a night and then not get back on for weeks, thus resulting in forgetting my login information. A few weeks ago, I made yet another account whilst out with Destiny, Cassie, and the menfolk who we have chosen to be our life partners (drink getters, foot rubbers, back scratchers, pizza orderers, etc). Nick has been working nights (and days) so my boredom level at night sometimes is through the roof. Since there is not a "safe" Walmart anywhere near me to wander aimlessly around at night, I've taken to laying in bed and laughing at myself with the "ugly" Snapchat filters. I almost peed the bed last Sunday when I turned myself into a peach! Couldn't tell you why I thought it was so funny, but that one for some reason really tickled me.
Since Nick has been working seemingly endless shifts, both day and night, I tend to want to keep him to myself on the weekends. I'm stingy, so I don't fuck with my limited time with him. Of course, I get to see him more than anyone else, but that is besides the point... This weekend, I decided to leave him here at the house by himself for a little while. There are only a couple reasons that I would do that: one being that TJ Maxx is having a huge sale, two being that someone invites me to go see some animals. Sadly, TJ Maxx was not having a sale, so you can work it out for yourself that animals were what lured me out of my love shack away from my boo. I'd spent the whole day Friday and Saturday with him, up his ass wanting cuddles, so I figured I'd spare him a Sunday morning so he could be the loner introvert he truly is and go play with the Anteaters and Poison Dart Frogs instead.
Do yall remember the kids I used to keep a few years ago? My first nannying family? The family and I are still friends and see each other often. Side note: if you are looking for any kind of job or are thinking of interviewing somewhere, do yourself a favor and ask if you could picture yourself being friends with the people who are interviewing you/ the people you meet around the office in those first few days. Obviously, I am not asking you to look into the crystal ball and know if you could be like super awesome best friends, but like just casually ask yourself, "could I be friends with these people when I don't work here in five years?" If the answer is no, don't take the job. I am not saying that you have to be friends with people to be successful in a work place, I am just saying it makes it a fuck-ton easier. Also, maybe not necessarily being "friends" while employeed together or by the person, because that is hard sometimes, but like after the work is done and after the dust settles, could you occasionally meet these people for dinner or just stop by when you are in the neighborhood? If not, if that little voice says no, turn it down and go somewhere else. Or don't and have that hate in you every single day until you are so miserable you just ooze negative energy and all that shit. Any who, just a little friendly advice for someone who has tried it both ways..
So, back to one of the only things that could take me away from the 15 hours or so I have in a week to spend with Nicholas. Bridget texted me and asked me if I wanted to go to the zoo with her and the kids, not only because I am so cool and awesome for company, but because I am an adult who can talk about adult things and not PawPatrol, Goldfish, and Sno-cones (well, just two of those, let's be honest, I had my Sno-cone flavor picked out before I even knew if I was for sure going). Sometimes it is nice to have adult company. I mean I guess, I don't have small children yet, but sometimes after the few hours a day that I spend being Nanny McPhee (we share the same unibrow) it is nice to come home to a grown ass man and talk about something other than Moana, and be called Cara, not Princess Aurora or Isobelle from Alana of Avalor or whoever the hell I am for the day. Seriously, Addie called me Isobelle for like the first 6 weeks of me watching them, I thought about getting my name changed on my Driver's license. It doesn't bother me, in fact, I quite like it. She obviously loves these characters, so that's cool that she wants to pretend I am one of them. But from an adult perspective, I get it, like the enjoyment of an adult conversation. I only "have" kids for about 9 hours a week, so shout out to all you parents out there, you are the real MVP.
But, Bridget asked me if I would go, and my immediate answer was, "Hell yeah! I am always DTZ (down to zoo)!" Little fact, if you are looking for a good time, I'm your girl! Not like sexually, I am pretty much a limp lamp on that end, but like I am always DTZ, DTA, DTM, DTTP, DTM or down to zoo, down to aquarium, down to movie, down to theme park, down to museum, etc. So, I guess if anyone ever needs a friend date out of desperation, hit me up!
We had a great time! Between worrying if we would end up on the news because Brantley snuck into the lion's enclosure, sticky sno-cone hugs, and looking at fantastic beasts lazing around in the summer heat, it was a really nice day. I love those little nerds. And momma nerd too :)
It's funny, how children can make your ovaries quiver with longing and then shrivel up and die for you swear you will never have kids all at the same time.
I came home to find my funny bunny all reveled in his blessed alone time. And that was pretty much it for my Sunday out where the wild things are.
