Rhi in Pink » Blog Archive » Friday Bullets: Ice, Ice Baby Edition

Hello, it is winter in Portland. And, by winter, I mean SNOW AND ICE. Not our normal RAIN.
This weather is making it very difficult to a) spend my birthday gift cards and also b) Christmas Shop.
I am really almost done with my shopping, I just need a couple little things for the boy, and also one more THING for my dad.
Last night we went to a Champagne Tasting at our favorite little wine bar and I met another girl named Rhiannon. I’ve decided that I never want to run into her again. I kept thinking her friends were talking to me.
The best champagne I tasted, was also the least expensive. That is pretty much the first time I’ve ever liked something that wasn’t the most expensive on the list.
Holy crap, it’s snowing again.
Thank you ALL for your thoughtful repsonses to my last post. I’m still really sad that I won’t be seeing my aunt and uncle for Christmas, but in order to have a somewhat pleasant Christmas, I need to put it behind me.
BUT, with that said, I’ll be responding to both of their email messages this weekend. Whilst snowed in.
Earlier this year, I went through a rather painful process of detoxing my body from the evil wonder that is Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza. I’m very sad to say that I’ve fallen off the wagon. I blame cabin fever.
I really feel like I need to go over the whole “Due to/Because of” thing with the world, AGAIN. This really is my biggest grammar related pet peeve. I’ll prepare a power point and schedule time with everyone.
And, because I’m in a teaching mood, I’d also like to go over “How Not to Drive Like a Dipshit in the Snow”
Oh! Question – pretend you went through a nasty breakup almost two years ago. Pretend that you lived with this person and had things such as garbage service in your name. Also pretend that said garbage service has been calling you everytime there is a service delay for the past almost two years EVEN THOUGH you asked your pretend ex-boyfriend, Hugh Jass, to remove your name and contact information from the service. Now, here is the question: How many profane words are you allowed to use in the email you send to your NOW MARRIED ex-boyfriend when you get YET ANOTHER CALL from the garbage service.

I think every other word is satisfactory.
Can you call the garbage service and discontinue the service in your name? That way he will figure it out when there is garbage sitting outside of his house that isn’t picked up :)

At least 30 dirty words, the bastard.

Yeah, can you just cancel it? Because that is so what I would do.

Thank goodness that me and my ex (whom I went through a very bad break-up with almost two years ago and we had lived together – freakish!) didn’t share trash pick-up. Gah! This must be so frustrating. Here’s the thing. Is it possible to skip him altogether? Can you call the trash company directly and have yourself taken off? That’s what I would do. Who cares if there is even another number on there. Get your name/number off of it and don’t even bother with him.

The weather here is putting a dent in my holiday shopping to. Bah!

Also? Please share the name of the champagne. I need to pick some up for Christmas.

I agree with the ‘discontinue service’ suggestion.

At least threaten him with it!

ABSO-fecking-LOUTELY, cancel that flipping trash service. The fact that you haven’t already makes you some sort of saint.

Hollylynne’s last blog post..I have so many things I should write about in this post

. . . wait . . . .Hugh Jass . . . just got it. BWAHHAHAHHHAHHA!

I probably use “due to” inappropriately all the time. Can we still be friends?

I would cancel the service. But I’m sort of a bitch.

I think NOW is the very best time to sign Hugh Jass up for different magazines that he has NO interest in reading with a “bill me later” box checked. And make sure there is porn in there!

Hugh Jass. HAAAAAA.

Angella’s last blog post..‘Tis The Season

I am sending Portland a memo as we type that this snow b.s. is so last season and I need to drive into legitimate Snow Country this week, so cut it out. I’ll make sure I sign it from you, too.

(Oh, and also: Hugh Jass? Perhaps needs a swift kick to the kneecaps. Or at least, a very stern talking to.)

I agree with everyone else who says to just call and cancel the whole damn service. Or call his wife and say “hey, I don’t want to be a bitch but somehow this thing still has my name on it even after all of this time. I’ve asked him to take my name off it but you know how men are. Can you help me out?” because men lose the ability to do ANYTHING for themselves when there is a female around to do it for them. I bet it would take exactly one phone call to the wife for your name to be removed!

Erin’s last blog post..Never Doubt IKEA

It’s STILL snowing. And grrr. Are you out of liquor yet? And I agree with the crew up there, for sure cancel the garbage service!
