It's my birthday today!! [repost from LJ, my birthday was on Friday 8/22]
Also I probably didn't tell you but my stepbrother Gary, whom I write and think about even less than my real brother, Jimbo..well his wife was also pregnant and she also had her baby last night!! She almost had it on my birthday. So now we have two babies with birthdays in August the same age.
Incidentally my brother and stepbrother are both born in the same year. They are completely worlds apart where my brother is street and peoplewise and Gary is more disconnected or buried and insulated. Also Gary does have one son already who is about 8 yrs-old. Matthew. Matthew is sickeningly adorable and he uses that to his advantage but I haven't spent much time around him. They live in sort of a compound with his in-laws which is too old school even for me, the one who writes about my family and extended family but wouldn't want to live all together with them!
Painters are scaling our outside walls and repainting the exterior of our building/house. I'm lounging in bed though at 8AM I was counseling my mom who got let go from her job. Come to find out she was only a 1099 employee (independent contractor) and she wasn't doing her taxes properly and she has never incorporated herself. Gave her a stern lecture and conference called my sister in to give mom advice on setting up a corporation. See, that allows you to deduct all kinds of bills like internet, phone, wireless, even CAR lease, and gas...
Crazy huh?
Plus, I'm a recruiter so I can help mom to market herself (she's in Finance and Accounting) so that she can get contract work...since she's almost 65-yrs old..she's right people won't hire her but they will give her contract work to do accounting reports or spreadsheets. She can do that stuff in her sleep.
Also she can work from home and just come in to talk about how they need reports structured etc... Isn't that lovely? Or do conference calls and even video conferences. Mom was all stressed out about losing that income but I think we've cheered her up.
Finally, I did already work this morning. Such is the fabric of my life. Following up on sole interview candidate in Philadelphia.
Last night was first night of my next MBA class. The professor is in biotechnology consulting too. She said we were going to have FUN, F_U_N and she spelled it out for us in her deep southern accent and militaristic style. We groaned.
She made all the students sit up by the front (I'm such a dork I was already in the front alone until they grumblingly joined me). But we did have fun and she was hilarious sitting on top of the desk with her legs spread open and her suit skirt open wide. I tried NOT to look up her skirt as she is almost a senior citizen too! She had that severe secretary look that probably does S&M on the weekends.
Speaking of which, did I tell you that I went vibrator shopping last weekend with C? I don't have any extra money right now so I couldn't buy anything but it was hilarious. I scolded C when she showed me a dildo that was rather small and a molding of a penis (I can't stand those rubber fake penises anyway). And she said it was so large. It was the smallest of the whole grouping! I grabbed the next size up and said it's not that big, c'mon. Look how much bigger this one is!! And we giggled. I much prefer reading erotica, good erotica anyway so I went over to that section.
I am fascinated by all the sex toys but have never been into them very much with lovers.
I don't even like sex that much lately.
Last weekend I also had an icky dream about my dad's old lover. It was an odd dream and I wish I had written in my journal right away. It was so uncomfortable though that I didn't want to write about her. She's the only thing I can remember about it now.
Last night I dreamt that I was at the beach and I wanted very badly to go bodysurfing. I could see the waves from my window but I was at work. I was waiting tables at the Chinese Restaurant (I really did used to have this job) and though the waves looked awesome I had a shift to work, I ran upstairs to change into my swimsuit wrapped a big beach towel around to grab a 30 minute surf session when the place got slammed full of patrons. So I had to go back up and change back into work clothes and then I woke up and sighed. Oh, I'm not staying at the becach (SoCAL beaches are much sunnier and warmer and less threatening waves/rip tides than NorCal beaches).
I do miss the beach and need to book a trip to LA maybe stay with Julia who lives on Venice Beach now.
