I'm in a mood today, mainly caused by a few of the things I'm going to list here today.

THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME

1.) I have ants in my house. Little black kitchen ants (not pussy (hehe) ants - those are the REALLY tiny little suckers). They started out all over my sink and stove. I pulled out the stove, cleaned underneath, sprayed ant spray, placed 4 traps under the stove, sink, fridge, and one right on top of the counter. I think I actually saw ants having a party on top of the one trap. I then went out and bought another 4 traps, different brand, and did the same thing. Within a day there seemed to be less and less. For a few days I didn't see any. Then I started seeing them in the bathroom (not as bad as the kitchen, but they were there), a few in the bedroom -YUCK!- and even some in the living room.

Before, when they were all over the sink and stove, there were none on the l-shaped side of the counter.

Guess what? NOW THEY ARE!!! I have cloroxed, windexed and napalmed and they keep coming back!!!!! I clean the counters and kitchen ten times a day so there are no crumbs or anything for them to eat, BUT THEY"RE STILL THERE!!!!

And they're in the surf shop too! We don't even have food in there. What could possibly be drawing them? I even found some in my car the other day. WTF!!!!!??????

My only hope is that once the weather really warms up, they'll move outside. My theory is that it's warm enough and that time of year, for them to come up out of the ground, but not to be outside. I guess we'll see.

2.) My employees SUCK! Yeah, you heard me. Even if they knew about this site, I wouldn't care. I've told them and I'm going to tell them again! I'm REALLY easy going when it comes to scheduling and needing days off, but this is getting REALLY ridiculous! Whenever I need someone to work (most weekdays are still quiet enough for me to be here by myself) they can't, yet when I don't need anyone, they're all here, boo-hooing b/c they need to work to make money.

Well, DUH!

I have to hire a bunch of new people this year, since several past employees are either not coming back or only doing part time, and when I do things are going to be different!

3.) I'm disgusted with myself. Yep, you heard me - I make myself sick!

Of course, seeing as the weather is warming up and I'm going to have to start scaling down on the clothing, I'm thinking about my state of disgrace more and more.

Since when did I have this giant spare tire? I used to scoff at those commercials and ads about 'belly fat', but not no more,hon!

If I could just get rid of that, I'd be fine. I understand I'm not 21 anymore and that I'm going to gain some weight the older I get, but I CANNOT STAND THIS RING OF BLUBBER AROUND MY MIDDLE!

So, what am I doing about it, you might ask? Hmm... well, I lay and bed at night making all these grandiose exercise plans that are always going to start on MONDAY.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, that's worked well, so far.

I used to run 3 - yes 3!!!- miles a day. I'm lucky if I walk half a mile these days. And I like to run. I really do, but I always seem to have an excuse - the weather, I'm sick, allergies are really bad, didn't get enough sleep the night before, have to many things to do after work.

It's all a crock o' poo!

I VOW TO LOSE 10 POUNDS BY JUNE 1!! That's right - I'm throwin' it down. You all heard me. Now I just need to follow through.

4.) I'm pissed that the Capitals lost in second overtime last night. They are losing the series to the Flyers 1-3. They looked good last night too. Next game is tomorrow back in DC and if they lose, it's OVA!

I don't need this. I have enough sports stress to deal with during football season, and even a little during college basketball. I like hockey, but I can't invest too much heartache into it if they lose. I hate being bummed out over a sports team that I like!

*BIG SIDE NOTE TO THE LADIES - I'm diggin' the team this year - we've got some major hotties! VICTOR KOZLOV? SWOON. MIKE GREEN - CUTAY!, DAVE STECKEL -YUM! Even roughed up Alexander Ovechkin has something about him (besides being the top goal scorer in the league this year and top choice for MVP) Just go here and see for yourself.

And while we're on the subject of hottie athletes, if you don't watch the UFC and don't know about Michael Bisping then you really need to check this guy out. I *heart* him!

Ok, enough for now. I'm sure I'll be ready to rant and rage about some other stuff in a little while!

HAPPY FRIDAY!
