Have you ever been so mad at someone, that it physically effected you? Meaning shaking and nausea? And because of this, now that I've calmed down my nerves are shot.Something at work with an employee just pissed me off so badly I wanted to just kick his ass.
I know business is business, but when an employee is defiant and doesn't listen simply because I'm a woman and treats me and other woman here with little to no respect as well....that pisses me off. And when one of the upper men in the company called him telling him the EXACT same thing and the employee is nice to the man and said he understood, screw you...you bastard.
It's bad enough that I have to fight the fact that I work for my fathers' company and prove I'm in my job for a reason other than my daddy runs the company. I have to face a sexist bastard too. He's lucky we're not filing a formal complaint.All I know is I'm a true believer in karma...and it's gonna come bite him something awful. I can't wait. It couldn't happen to a nicer person when it does.

Air Conditioning woes....continue
Well....thanks to my great boss. My home is at least moderately cool after borrowing a few A/C Window units.On calling the A/C company this morning, the new repair guy is picking up our part and hopefully going to be making his way to our house this afternoon, if not sooner.But it's not going to happen. I just got a call from my other half and he said the repairman isn't even coming out. Because when he went to pick up the part, he examined it to make sure it was the right part and that is was ok. Well the part was missing a part. WTF?????
The receptionist at the company called Flipper and told him that a new part is being ordered and it will not be in until Monday and our original repairman will have us assigned to be his first job that morning.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Thank God for the window units...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Race!!!
Him (Race) and I discussed yesterday how we both had little faith that things were going to get resolved tomorrow. I agreed with him, but my hope was that they would prove me wrong. And they proved both of us right.
We were going to have a cook out this weekend at the house but we're going to cancel it. I just don't feel comfy having people over on a hot day with not adequate cooling for the house. Even though it's cooled of inside at the moment, but people going in and out all day and such will not keep it that way. Oh well, we can celebrate my b-day another time.
I just want this crap resolved. Grrrrr

Air-conditioning part 2
Well today, my hubby took a half day so he could stay home for the AC Repair people. Well...they came and went. An still NO AC. Apparently he miss assessed the complete extent of the damage and apparently all 3 circuit boards needed to be replaced and not just 2. Well he's ordered the third and said he'd be back around 10am to fix it tomorrow.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Well, now it's my turn. And I'm going to work from home tomorrow. Thanks to my kind boss (Thank You Race) and he's even offered that if they can't fix it tomorrow that we can borrow a few window A/C Units for Friday and the Weekend because the temp is supposed to go up again. Hopefully it won't come to that but who knows. Damn this is annoying.
*raises my glass of water* Here's to hoping for the best tomorrow.

UN-Happiness is....No A/C
Well we had a GREAT trip to Cancun Mexico and just got back on Saturday. The house was warm.... and we heard the unit out back running just fine, but there was NO air coming out of any vents. Went down stairs to check the furnace room to find water EVERYWHERE on the floor.We had someone house/dog sitting and when she left later Saturday afternoon she said the house was perfect so it happened a few hours after she left. Oh well....so we had to call our home warranty company and report this...and I had to call them back 4 times today because the company obviously didn't understand "URGENT" and "Medical Condition" and wanted to send someone out late afternoon tomorrrow?? UH....HELL NO. I called the warrenty company back, and this time got a supervisor and literally ripped him a new one. And he completely understood my frustration and got someone out to my home Today...and they were there by 1pm (only 2 hours after talking to him).
But now for the really SUCKY news...
due to the build up of water in the system (from the blocked condenser drainage line) it started leaking IN the furnace unit and completely shorted out the control board of the system. So we're screwed until they get a new board, install it and check to see what other problems there might be. They fixed that clogged drainage line but cannot start the unit to see if that was the only problem. The board will not be in until Wednesday and they will be at the house between 10 and 2 that day....UGH. I had that window time frame CRAP.Oh well. Thank goodness for the few storms we've had lately, it's been bringing the temperature out at night. We bought a whole crap load of fans and we've been trying to keep the air circulating (which is not as easy as it sounds) in an already warm house.
So now it's a waiting game.
I just hope my hubby doesn't have any breathing problems or asthma issues between now and then.

Happiness is...
The new Hydromassage.....
my pilates instructor let me try it out after my session this morning for 5 minutes...I almost fell asleep.OH MY GOODNESS, I wanted 10 more minutes.WOW. If you ever have the opportunity to try it out, you will NOT be disappointed.Now I'm trying to figure out if I want to get a package so I can use it when ever I want.

Sore Throats SUCK
I thought it was just a fluke, but I guess not.Yesterday I woke up with a tiny sore throat, but it went away.
Well, this morning...and so far all day, my throat has been dry, itchy and on fire. Booooooooo. Makes me sad. I'm thinking the fan in the bedroom is the cause of this. Might have to get our humidifier out for the bedroom and hopefully stop this in its tracks.It not allergies cuz there are no other symptoms and usually if there is a flare-up, I have more than one symptom.
I hate sore throats. makes me feel yucky.

Ramblings from Tuesday
Well this morning had it's moments for sure......normal office stuff.
I've been trying to be more attentive with what's going on with me lately, especially with all of the headaches too. I laugh because ever since I have been doing a headache diary...I've not had any migraines to write about...LOL. Go figure. But you know...as soon as I post this...watch me have one today. (but I really hope I don't)
Going out to dinner with a friend tonight. Not sure where yet, we've narrowed it down to a few places but I'm going to leave the time up to her. Her work hours are much more constrained than mine are. It's gonna be nice to be able to sit with her and talk a bit. I've been so busy lately, I've not been able to do that with hardly anyone. Now is the time to play catch up with mostly friends and a few family members.

Doctor Update
Well, as most of you know I went to the doctor on Friday for my migraines.I was given the meds that I've been using (but had run out of) and also she gave me some samples of a different migraine med to see if that would work for me too.
I haven't had any migraines since Thursday, but I have had a few nagging headaches, which sucks. I now have to start a headache diary, which is to include everything from what I've done that day to what I ate (even where I am on my menstral cycle). To maybe see if we can find a trigger for my migraines. We'll see for sure, I've never done that before so it'll be a new experience.Here's to hoping for success.

It's HOOOOOOOOOOT Outside
Holy Crap....it's gonna get up to 99 degrees today, with a heat index passing 110 degrees. HOLY CRAP!!!I get into my car and I feel like I'm melting. ICK. I took a shower and got all clean this morning. Go outside and get into my car and within 5 minutes I feel like I need another damn shower.
YUCKY.on a different subject,We are organizing all of the gifts we got from the wedding and getting the old stuff out of the kitchen. Yesterday we got all the new plates, glasses (not the wine glasses) and coffee cups. Then we did the flatware and cookware. Damn we have a lot of stuff. We are going to try and have a yard sale some time during the summer. Maybe we can get a few of our neighbors in on it too, but not now it's to HOOOOOOOT.

New Doctor Jitters
I mind taking or accompanying people to the doctor....but I really hate going to the doctor for myself. But yes I do know it is very needed. I've dropped my last primary care physician because he sucks ass... and when his secretary messed up my appointment the last time I went, I was standing right in front of her and she told me just to go to urgent care. Oh nice...thanks lady.
Sooo now that I need a doctor to address my migraine issue..I'm off to a new doctor today. I'm hoping it will go very easy and not many (if any) tests will be needed. I just hate not being able to do normal everyday things and have to lie in bed with a pillow over my head

Thunderstorms in NoVA
OMG...talk about like something out of a movie.Those thunderstorms came through here yesterday like a bat out of hell, lemme tell ya. Complete with tornados too. One death in the area from a tree falling on a car (so sorry to that family). And mucho property damage from all of the wind and falling debris for this entire metro area.
Even my house got messed up a bit of water damage...now we are looking to get someone out there to take a look at the front window and such...because last night water came in through our front living room window and soaked the back of the couch...went through the floor and leaked into the basement. So that is our next repair and upgrade for the house. ( I have a feeling they are going to find some mold in that wall..ewww, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.

Bringing you Up to Speed and My Big Fat Hockey Themed Wedding
Wow...I didn't realize until I looked at everything that I realized it has been since the beginning of April and it's now June...which means.....I'm MARRIED!!!
Yep SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much has happened literally since I last posted.Now I'm going to get it all up to speed.
April...Well the Washington Capitals really had on helluva run and unfortunately didn't make it past the first round of the playoffs, but seeing the first round go all the way to a game 7 was impressive by all standards. The Capitals had a GREAT season this year and grew by leaps and bounds. With the sheer amount of UFA's that we had and such it will prove to be a very interesing post season. I know that Olie Kolzig will NEVER wear a Capitals uniform again and that makes me EXTREMELY upset...he will always be my favorite all-time Capitals Player. "The Power of Kolzig will Always Compel Me". But with the Caps season over...more of my focus went to the final planing of my Big Fat Hockey Themed Wedding.
When May finally showed up...everything got REALLY busy. The first weekend of May brought a huge birthday party for my great friend Peg. It was a Hawaiian themed party that was awesome. GREAT sun and surf cake, really yummy.The following weekend the 10th was the Bachelorette weekend. My girls picked me up about 10am took me to two different vineyards, at the first one we had a chocolate and wine paring and at the second one we just had a normal full wine tasting. Then we all went and had 4 full courses at the MELTING POT...mmmmm mmmm yummy cheese and chocolatey goodness. it was such a GREAT day.
Then with a week left to go before wedding and lemme tell ya, without Kirsten (wedding day coordinator) I would've completely lost my mind. I almost did a few times but thanks goodness I didn't.The rehearsal went really quickly and was just a physical walk through so everyone knew where to stand and go on the day of. The rehearsal dinner was held at Kettler Capitals Iceplex (yep that's the Capitals Practice Facility), we had a suckling pig and a mobile sushi station with a moderated open beverage station. We got to watch everything from speed skating, broom ball to hockey. A few handfuls of interviews from the Capitals Film crew were on hand to interview family, friends and us. Many spirits were consumed and then they had to separate the bride and groom for the night. (which was much harder than I thought it would be)
But the morning of the wedding was fun. Got up..my sister, friend Christy and her daughter had stayed over then night before and helped keep me centered and focused (as much as they could) but let me tell ya I had one monster case of butterflies that morning. My stylist came to my house and did all of our hair... I did about 90% of my make up and let my stylist finish off the fine details and I looked GREAT. The car arrived around noon and Kim rode with me in the sedan up to the Knight of Columbus hall where we got dressed. But when we got there Duff Goldman from Charm City Cakes was there setting up the cake and had the food network film crew there as well. I got to meet him and he told me that the NHL brought the actual Stanley Cup to their bakery so that they could get an accurate comparison in making our cake. Isn't that just KICK ASS?? And he took a picture with us and everything but had to go because he had to go set up another cake at another party. He wish he could've stayed, but he couldn't. I got dressed and put the finishing touches on me and my girls.
My father arrived and then it became REAL. The weather was soooooooooo beautiful and sunny and perfect temp too. We walked across the street and then I could hear the music coming from the church...it was perfect. I made my procession and at the aisle was the man I love waiting for me. Beautiful service and we were both able to keep it together and not cry (but it was hard). I felt so pretty and he looked so handsome. Then it was done.
And it was TIME TO PARTY.....After many pictures and stuff...we had our GRAND Entrance into the reception with the BIG Cake reveal. We all put hockey jerseys over our wedding clothes and our attendants got hockey sticks and we were announced in by Wes Johnson (PA announcer for the Washington Capitals at the Verizon Center) and we went in under an archway of hockey sticks. It was fun. Then the Cake...OMG that amazing cake. The food network had their cameras right on us for our first reaction and when the flag was lifted...it was INCREDIBLE. OMG a more than full size replica of the Stanley Cup with the entire wedding party listed on the cake. Such a great cake and it tasted good too.If you want to see candid photos (from the disposable cameras) private message me directly and I'll send you the link.It was such a great time and we were overwhelmed by guest and generous gifts. We left the Monday after for two islands of Hawaii and we spend a wonderful 10 days between Oahu and Maui.We were able to see Pearl Harbour, snorkling in Molokini and we made it through the Road to Hana and back. Beautiful weather, glorious sites a trip to always remember.Now we're back to the grind. And getting back to the swing of things.But I still can't stop smiling. Life is truly good.
