So he did it again... Actually I started it but the fact is once again I was out and McDirty joined me with my friends. We had a few laughs, a few beers. It was a good time. Still makes me more and more confused every single day though.
We actually behaved ourselves for the most part and we just hung out and had a couple beers. It was the middle of the all day and all night drinking fest that we call the Triple Birthday... whole other story there. But the thing that made me most happy was the fact that JerkFace was there and saw me with McDirty which makes me really happy because even though I know nothing is going on with me and McDirty he doesn't know that!!! :)

Top of the Line Automobile
Today I realized that I have something in my car that makes it one of the most rare and well-equipped vehicles in the Pittsburgh area. I have a freaking turn-signal.
Apparently very few other people that I now share morning and afternoon rush hours with have them in their vehicles. I feel privileged that I have this feature. Now if only there was a way to share the concept of turn signals with others. Or to help them realize that the tunnels will NOT get smaller as you drive through them. This in NOT Willy Wonka and there is no Gene Wilder wearing a purple suit hiding in the tunnels.

Day 2
So today was Day 2 of my new job.... very bored and really thinking that the particular position that I chose is not what I want to be doing for an extended period of time. But then again I probably felt the same way when I was training for that dam job at the hospital. I don't really remember much of training except debating about whether I was going to wear my engagement ring or not while I waited for JerkFace to decide he wanted to give us another try. Anywho....
They do keep stressing the fact that there is room for advancement in the company, and the men who are in charge of things do seem to keep watching me strangely. Maybe it's their grand idea to put me in charge of their world and I just didn't get there yet.
Then there is the chance to go to class and do what my book character did and proceed with a clinical career....
Must talk to them about it later....

Signs
Yea I need out of my house..... I know I'm headed straight for hell for even thinking this but the noises that occur in my house make me crazy. Every three seconds my mother is coughing/sneezing/spitting/choking on God only knows what and if there really is something that she's choking on I really wish the doctors would find it and fix it already.
Gulliable
Why do I let people talk me into things???
So I let a woman at work talk me into something that I really never wanted to do!! She talked me into setting up a page on match.com and I'm really feeling awkward about it. So far, I've come across nothing that I really felt like pursuing. Except for one guy who I basically pissed off and he stopped talking to me. But the more I think about it, I think I only liked him because he was just like all the other guys I know. They just want sex and to have a girlfriend now and then when it's convenient for them. O well, I guess it really isn't my loss.
Anyway, I really can't believe that I might actually meet the man of my dreams just by looking at a profile on the Internet. It would by much more fulfilling to meet someone while doing charity work, or bumping into them at a restaurant or just catching their eye across a room. Or you know if he hits a home run into my hands while I'm watching him at a baseball game. OK OK, back to reality.
So once again I've decided to try and become involved in charities and volunteer work. The benefits of this are two fold. First there is the chance to meet new people who might fit my life a little better than the ones I"ve been spending time with. Secondly, it would be amazing to work for a charity and get to plan the events and fundraisers that actually benefit the public.
I have so many possibilities in my grasp right now that I think it can't hurt to keep pushing myself and see how much I actually can get into.

Name Change
So my book, The Secret, tells me that the thoughts that stick in your head are basically predicting your future and the things you dwell on will continue to be present in your life. Therefore I know that the name Ms. Almost really has many many meanings but perhaps I should change my name to something that shows me being the woman that I really want to be in my life.
The problem now is trying to figure out what that name should be.
- Ms. Finally???
- Ms. Dam Right??
I don't know. So for now I'll remain Ms Almost until I come up with the new name that I like. Once again, I'm open to any suggestions. :)

Advice Needed
So I want to start writing a column for a newspaper.... how do I go about doing that?? I honestly have no idea and I should have done this a long long time ago in college and perhaps I would actually have a clue what to do. I think I'm going to write an amazing letter to the freelance section of a couple newspapers and once they read them they are going to BEG me to write for them on a regular basis. But if anyone has any ideas I'd be more than happy to try them out too.

Birthday Time!!
So today is Meredith's birthday!! She's officially getting old and since I'm going to stop counting birthdays after next year, she'll catch up to me in no time. Right now we're both still debating what the heck we're gonna wear out tonight but we have our plans. I invited a bunch of people but we can have fun even if no one else comes! I'm still debating about buying the new shoes that I saw yesterday and kinda fell in love with. They're super dirty cute.
But I should really not be spending money that I don't have....... But with Mere's discount it's all good!!! I'll probably end up buying them and never knowing what to wear them with.
Unemployed
Ok so really I'm not completely unemployed but I have been off since Sunday and I don't go into work until Saturday. Its kinda strange, I kinda like it and when I do marry one of my husbands I can definitely get used to not working. Of course I'd do charity work and keep myself busy but not having a job or boss would be amazing.
Also I've been trying to teach myself to get up early instead of sleeping all morning so that it's not quite as bad when I start waking up at 630am next week.

My Husbands
Yes, I know I sound like a polygamist from the west but I have several men that I've decided must be my husbands just because I said so. Clearly there is no one else that could take care of these men like I can and they are all just pretending to be happy with these other people until we build our big estate just outside of Pittsburgh where we could all live happily ever after.
Lately I think PittGirl is trying to take over some of my men. Actually, there are several of my husbands that she hasn't self-united with yet but last week she decided to claim Dougy from my Pirates. My original husband was a Pittsburgh Pirate for quite a few years so I feel a special claim to them. Right now I have a few, especially since I found out that Ryan Doumit is actually in my age range.... And let me tell you, he might just be more attractive than my cheating husband Nate. But Ryan is sort of on that level where he is almost too attractive to try and marry, even on the imaginary level. But now that I know he is my age, and not legally married, I have added him to my list of husbands.
Originally it was Jason Kendall, an amazing All-Star catcher for the Pirates and one of the only few bright spots on the team for quite a few years. I'm not sure what it was about him that made me fall in love but I think it has something to do with the fact that I loooooove men in uniform. Be it baseball, football, or police uniforms are NICE! Anyway in my fantasy world I would sit at the games every night and cheer him on, quietly, so the other wives wouldn't be jealous. And then we would ride home after he stopped outside the stadium to sign autographs and then we would go home and eventually have some kids that I could tote to the ball park for games.
Another of my husbands was ex-Penguin Kevin Stevens. I think this one was the start of my love of bad boys. We all know his story and his age isn't the only reason it would have been a little awkward to introduce him to Mom and Dad. When he reunited with the Pens for a couple years we were in my imaginary world working on our relationship and I was supporting him in an awkward time in his life.
While I was actually engaged, real world this time...not my fantasy, there weren't many men who I made my husbands because I had a real one on the way. But there was one guy who I just could not get out of my head and I knew in the back of my mind that he was one of my husbands. He was a contestant on American Idol and he had the most amazing voice. Sure enough today he's a world famous singer, Chris Daughtry. Absolutely love him and whenever I listen to his CD on my shower radio I imagine him singing to me on stage at one of his shows. [Sidebar, I actually went to see him and Bon Jovi a few months ago in concert and I was literally feet away from him thanks to the awesome seats that one of my friends real husbands got us for a whopping $5!!!]
By this point I think you can tell that I have a certain type of man that I am insanely attracted to. I like the men who speak their mind, don't back down and aren't afraid to get dirty. I like the trouble and the danger that men can bring to my life. That probably explains why I have such bad luck in real life.
Now I have my new Alaskan husband, Blake, who seems to be a big time good guy. He saves people on sinking ships and works his mega-cute butt off catching fish. But still he has the dangerous side being that he fishes in 40 foot waves in the middle of the freaking Alaskian ocean. But in my world, the night we met, I had a lovely time while he showed me around his ship, the place he goes when he is forced to leave me and make the big bucks.
Then there is Nate..... I don't know much about him in real life except for the fact that he's been cheating on me.
OMG! I almost forgot my husband that I sort of work with!! I could I ever do that! I claimed him as my husband the first time I saw him bring a truly critical patient into the ER. The only sad part is that I've been calling him my husband for so long that most of the people that know us call us married (real life girlfriend doesn't enjoy that) and I can't even think of him in that way anymore because he's such a really really good friend. But he is my husband.

What if...
Ok so lets just throw this out there real quick because this is the last time I'm gonna talk about it...... Today was supposed to be my wedding. I'm over it... lets have no further mention of it today.
Anyways, instead today is my last day at the hospital. I'm working daylight which is strange for me because I'm an evening person but this does mean I get to go home and watch the Steeler game after work. (FYI... amazing site full of drunken pictures of athletes...www.drunkathlete.com....I know the URL is a little predictable.) I've already seen who my real friends are. One of the girls I work with brought in a cake already and I have a feeling there could be more suprises in store. I'm not saying that I want presents or anything but just the fact that people are willing to do something nice for me makes me feel good and makes me feel like I might have done something right while I've been here.

Are you ready for some...
FOOTBALL!!!!
OK I love the Steelers just as much as all the crazy people who make signs and publicly beg to have the Steelers babies but I have to admit that the first pre-season game is not really exciting me. The big guys are either not going to be playing or they will only be in for the first few minutes. So I'll admit right now that I will probably lose interest after all my husbands have been safely placed on the sidelines and perhaps I will go have an alcoholic beverage to celebrate my leaving the hospital...
FYI!!!! I can wear jeans at my new job!!!! :)

Meet McSlacker
OK so I've Mc'd myself because I'm so bad at keeping up with this. Anywho....
~ McDirty is an ass. Yes I should have known this for a long time but it just sunk in. The super short version of what happened is that he has now come out with me and my work friends as well as me and my friends from when I was with JerkFace. AWKWARD!!! But then he has the nerve to tell me that I need to say no to him because what we're doing is wrong. Ok Butthead, just remember that when I make myself look like sex on a stick and tell you you can't have any!! See how you like it then!!! :)
~ Totally trying to be productive today..... called my new job, no answer. Called school.....no answer. Emailed soon to be ex-boss, no answer. Basically I'm still stuck where I was. Maybe that's why i procrastinate.
~ Decided to stay casual at the hospital. Driving over here once every week or so won't be so bad. But still looking to find a cute apartment over near the new job. Because my road rage really won't handle driving across the city everyday.
~ Anyone know if the bed frames that IKEA sells fit regular ordinary mattresses?? I really like one of the bed frames but I have a mattress already and I don't want to buy a new one. Also love the little special sales that IKEA has in the back of the catalogue. I might have to just get one of my husbands to buy me all the things on the pages that I have dog eared. That's the price they pay for getting to have me!!
