Back in March 2006 Mandacakes and I thought it would be a great idea to start a morning "Routine." This routine would start out with one of us calling the other, first thing in the morning. We chose an ungodly hour like 5:30am and planned out our "1,600 Miles Apart Morning Routine."
1. Call at 5:30am. Some moaning and groaning involved.
2. Go pee.
3. Make coffee. Swear with Mandacakes at her coffee pot. Talk about how I should get a new one.
4. Listen to Mandacakes wrestle her dogs out the door for a walk. Giggle quietly.
5. Sit on the couch with coffee.
6. Turn on the weather channel.
7. Ridicule and mock the anchors. What in the HELL is she wearing?! OMG what is up with her hair? Think THEY are sleeping together?
8. Once exhausted, turn to CNN Headline News.
9. Repeat #7.
10. Refill coffee and go out on porch to smoke a ciggy. Repeat #10 as needed.
11. Talk until 6:45am and then its "Time to get in the shower."
Our routine occasionally gets changed up. One of us might have to go into work early or have the day off. But pretty much, it has stayed the same. (Yes, even the coffee pot conversation. Since March. Yeah, we like to bitch and do nothing about it.)
Our routine is fabulous because we are awake! alert! and mostly on time! to work everyday.
Then there are mornings like this morning. Here is how the morning started:
MANDACAKES: Honey? You awake? Ryan?
ME: (from the depths of my bed with phone in hand) HMMMmmfphff.
MANDACAKES: Hun, we got up late. It's okay though. I need to jump in the shower now. I'll call you at 7am?
ME: HMMMmmfphff..... k.
MANADCAKES: Did you hear me? Ryan?
ME: HMMMmmfphff..... yaaa.
MANADCAKES: Ryan!? If you want me to call you at 7am, what is 2 + 2?
ME: HMMMmmfphff..... fowwwr.
MANADACAKES: Okay, I'll call you at 7am then. Talk to you then.Labels: Just Cuz.

The beginning of "and rudeness."

 (We might have even made t-shirts about it.)
How does a phrase like "and rudeness" take on a life of its own and move into your vocabulary as if it's always been there?
Well... MandaCakes and I have gmail at work (OMG I actually confessed to messaging while "On the job." Straight to hell!) so we can stay in constant contact throughout our day. I mean, you can't talk on the phone while working... so why not message? (As long as you are smooth as pie about it & don't get caught!)
Okay, we are straying here.
And rudeness came about one day when this situation came about:
We call it Cubicle Rudeness.
MandaCakes has the "total-bitch-hates-the-world-and-punishes-her-underlings-for-it" boss who always hovers over her at work. One day Ms. Full of Herself was in MandaCake's cube and let. one. go. Silently.
Of course, then MandaCakes gave the "you-let-it-go-I-know-you-know-I-know" look and Ms. Killer Ass suddenly vacated the area. Leaving her stench behind.
During the ranting that ensued, and rudeness. was born.
Mandacakes: You will never guess what just happened to me!
My boss just let. one. in MY CUBE!
ryanikon: You CAN'T be serious!
How gross! Fowl!
Mandacakes: My mouth was open and everything.
I gave her the "I know you let one, you know I know" look
and she WALKED AWAY!
ryanikon: Hahaha.... OMG... your mouth.... ROFL
GRRRRRRR
your boss
it sounds like she needs a lesson in manners
and rudeness
and personal space
and rudeness
Mandacakes: And don't forget rudeness!!
LOL
ryanikon: oh
MY BAD!
DON'T forget rudeness.
Mandacakes: and rudeness! Labels: Just Cuz.

There are many things in life I am grateful for.
1. When I hit a turkey on my way to work, my windshield didn't cave in all the way.
2. When I accidently overdrew my chcking account, the fee was only $15.
3. When my lawnmower broke this summer, it was only $110 to fix. (A NEW one could have been as much as $150.)
4. When I got fired my job last December, I didn't have another one lined up, I had 5 weeks of vacation. Not paid.
5. When the electric company threatened to turn my electric off this Thursday, I only had to pay $191 instead of the $382.28 listed on the disconnection notice.
I mean really. I. am. grateful. I really am. (Do I look convincing?)
My saving grace is knowing that I have the worldest BESTEST, BEST friend there to go through it with me. My. Cuz.
We are nine days apart and might as well have grown up twins. I HEART her. I ADORE her. Without her I wouldn't have made it through all the things I am so grateful for.
She is the one that makes me see the brighter sides of my sarcastic, ungrateful rants of gratefulness.
Thank. God.
Without her my world would have fallen apart a hundred times over. Maybe even THOUSANDS.
Thank you a thousand time over girl, from saving me from myself. You are my one true confidant. My constant in life that helps me refocus on the important things.
Thank you. Just. Cuz.Labels: Just Cuz.
