Ok my apologies for not posting this yesterday (Friday) like I was supposed to! I was featured as "Blog of the week" over at SPEAKING FROM THE CRIB (SFTC) and I was honored to be chosen, truly I was. So go on over there and check out the post and give that girl some love cause she is funny and quirky and AWESOME! I'm not just saying that either, she is one of my soups of the day and I always look forward to reading something new from her. I've noticed that I have many new tiny heads in the collection, I'd like to say hello to all you newbies out there. Thanks for stopping over and I hope that you decide to stay. Things here are really informal and sometimes things can be a little racy and full of swearing and cussing but then on somedays I actually allow myself to open up and you get to see the "real" burnedoutw8ress. So stick around folks and I'll do my best to keep you informed about all the asshole customers that cross my path.

I can't take anymore
FUCK YOU SNOW!
I am so sick of looking at, walking through, and shoveling snow! When is it gonna end already? Are we being punished for the last several "mild" winters? Ok. We. Get. It. I'm not much of a winter gal if you couldn't tell. I get cold easily and I am not the best driver when it comes to this slushy crap all over the roads. I hate it, I hate it I hate it!
And you know what, while I'm at it..FUCK you VALENTINE'S DAY too!

I Need Some Blogger Help
People never cease to amaze me.
I live here in pittsburgh where we got like almost 2 feet of snow this weekend. So on sunday I bundled myself up and went out there to try and shovel my car out of it's winter coccoon. I am quite the girly girl and that snow was wet and heavy as hell. I was really struggling with the shovel. I was frustrated and very close to tears when one of the guys who lives in the apartment above me came to what I thought was going to be my rescue.
He could tell that I was having a really hard time. He said that he would do it for me to help me out. I was relieved. At first. I'm no cheapo and I knew this was hard work so I handed my "neighbor" $40 for his troubles. I went back into the house and crawled under the blankets.
About half an hour later he comes knocking on my door. He said that he had gotten half of it done. I was all like, "oh ok would you like a cup of coffee to warm up and take a little break?". He, in a straight face, says to me that if I want the other half done it was gonna cost me another $20. Are you fucking shitting me? I was floored and for once in my life speechless. I didn't know what to say. What was I going to do? I knew there was no way I was gonna be able to do it so I just agreed and shut the door.
So as I'm sitting there talking to myself about what a jerk this guy is, I had a thought. Maybe he didn't look at the money I handed him and thought it was only 1 $20. Yea that must be it, nobody in their right mind would really expect $60 to shovel out a car. I felt better. Then he knocked.
I opened the door and he said he had finished the job. I said to him, "did you realise that I had given you 2 $20's?" to which he replied yes I know but there was a lot of snow. Unfreakin believable! I had to give this guy $60 to shovel out my car! I couldn't not pay him. He is my neighbor after all and I didn't want to piss him off. What if he's some kind of freak and he started to leave dead animals on my porch or something?
I was really taken back by this but maybe I am just over reacting? I don't know? What do you guys think? Was I just being cheap?

Awards are SWEET
I've been given this cute award, I love pink, from Katey Leigh over at let.it.be. I just stumbled upon her one day and I've been following her ever since. I envy the fact that she lives in San Francisco, I love that city! I tried living there when I was 19 but it didn't work for me at that time but maybe someday I'll go back. Anyway like most awards there are rules that go along with them but I'm not feeling well and my head is pounding and my nose is all stuffy and I MUST must must get back into bed so I'm skipping out on the rule thing today. Please don't let my bad blogging etiquette stop others from handing me pretty awards! I promise I'll be a better blogger someday!
Thanks Kateyleigh, love your blog!
