>Lazy day

>I woke with a tummy ache. Not bad, but I didn’t feel like getting up, so I stayed home and I am posting this from my bed. Since I haven’t been up, I don’t have much to say, but I have to get up and do some cleaning, maybe some laundry and run an errand. Tigger ate all my Skittles® and SweeTarts®, so I am thinking maybe I will go up to Target. I have limited funds since I don’t get paid until tomorrow, but since I didn’t go to work today, I can spend the $10 I have left on candy.

As I type this I am listening to the radio, on my computer! I put in a band I listen to, so they played a song by them, then the next song, by a different band, that I also have the album! I thought that was kind of neat. So far I have liked every song they have played. You can rate the songs so it ‘customizes’ the songs played.

Anyway, I should get moving since I have to pick up some books from the library, except I changed my mind about reading them. I should also enter the books I got from Pam and Aggie in Shelfari(they are still in boxes in my closet) before I get the next shipment from her. I probably should do that now.

>I am sorry I didn’t get to this sooner. The first thing I was going to talk about was how unbelievably crowded the train was. I doubt there was a single empty seat on it and this was by Garrison. That means of course the city was unbelievably crowded. It was like those commercials you see where there is just a wall of people walking at you, except none of these people knew how to walk. I was ready to tell them to get out of my city.

We had lunch at one of these metro cafe places and went to Strawberry Fields, of course there were a lot of people there, well you can see by my picture. I also took pictures of the Dakota, you can see them in the slide show I put on my blog.

We went to the Empire State building but when we got up to where you bought tickets the line was huge. We went to our favorite dinner place then to GCT for some shopping. I found a book for Em that was a history of Manhattan and she got me a pocket calendar. The boys got a book with cat pictures and funny captions.

They both passed out on the train.

>And I almost forgot to post. And I didn’t blog about yesterday and never wrote my review for Helter Skelter, and Tigger took the book so I don’t have it to refer to. Well I do want to post this one picture I took yesterday. All the pictures I took yesterday are in a new slide-show on the sidebar. We went there on Saturday and today is the anniversary. Then I am going to bed.

>Saturday morning and I should be up and getting dressed, but I stayed up late last night playing on here and finishing Helter Skelter. I didn’t have time to write my review. I will have to do that after we get home from the city.

Em and I are taking Stitch and Fred this time. It should be interesting since it is cold and Stitch is a whiner. The whole day has been carefully planned out this time.

There was something else I was going to say and it has ‘poof’ disappeared. But I really have to go.

>Necklace and this is driving me crazy!

Filed under: Uncategorized

Tigger was supposed to put Em’s necklace in her room today. If he did, it was after she got dressed, she has been e-mailing me and had not mentioned it. She just asked if I wanted to go work out with her after work and I am like, oh yeah sure, (if you don’t kill me first!) I didn’t say. I sent Tigger a text message, even though I am not supposed to send him text messages when he is at school, ‘This is killing me! She keeps e-mailing me!’

So I am driving myself crazy today. I can’t concentrate on work and I really need to. On top of that, the payment for my parking came out of my checking account early, (I never know what day they are going to take it out, very annoying) and when I figured out how much was left, I was about a dollar over, I forgot about my second checking account and was asking her if she could loan me money at the same time thinking, she is really going to kill me now. Then I remembered, I could just transfer money from my other checking account. Problem solved. Except for her reaction when she finds the necklace. As Tigger said last night, “She’s going to kill both of us.”

All the way home Tigger was keeping me informed of what was going on, she came home, left for WW, didn’t see it, so he moved it. She came home from WW, went up to take a nap, still didn’t see it, got up from her nap and still didn’t see it. When I got home, we were both ready to jump out of our skins. So he comes up to me with this face and I said, ‘It’ll be all right.’ And Em says, what? So I told her, there’s something in your room he wants you to find. She was like, in MY room? So she runs upstairs to look for it. And we laughed as we told her all the things we went through. Then she and I went to work out.

>even though I didn’t go to work. First thing, I took Stitch up to school. Then I got the packages ready to mail, which included sending an e-mail to one of the recipients so she knows it is coming. Then I went to the post office to mail them, right before my Doctor’s appointment, and I would have made it on time, if I hadn’t forgotten my checkbook! Well, I had also forgotten the slip that said I got a flu shot so that gave me an excuse to go back and get it. The doctor gave me a scrip for an antibiotic and some Allegra-d for the congestion. We’ll see how I do with that. I dropped the scrip off at the pharmacy then came home, they said it would be about 1-½ hours so I wasn’t waiting around. Then I picked up Gwen and we went to lunch and the mall just to kill some time, Em asked us to get her something at Penney’s so we did that. Then home, then to get the prescription. Oh boy, I’m tired now and I still have to go to the meeting!

When I got home I saw a printout of the page from the Dutchess County Health Department about the “shave-off”. Tigger’s picture is on it! Click on his name to see it. He is so cute.

I got some new nail polish at the mall. Not at trade secret, at the cheap store, I don’t remember the name but I got OPI for less than $6. All I can see for a color is OPI Ink. It is dark purple with a shimmer to it. I really like it, Gwen picked it out.

Now I need to get ready for the meeting. I have to wash my face and brush my teeth. My armpit is, well not really hurting, kind of irritated feeling, I put witch hazel on it after I removed the hair last night, but it still feels sore.

>my I-pod arrived. Tigger wanted to come downstairs to ‘see’ it, it looks just like Em’s I said. Except it has my name engraved on it. So then he says, if you need any help call me, yeah right sure says I, well less than 10 minutes after I plugged it in I was on my phone asking him for help, and 2 more times after that! I got all my songs on it though I had to do them one at a time, add them to the I-Tunes library, then copy them to the I-Pod Nano. I brought it to work and the only reason I am not listening to it is because the ear buds don’t fit my ears and hurt them and fall out. I really wish I had normal ears.

I went to Bryant Park, back to where Em got the earrings and got the black pearl necklace to wear with it. Only Tigger knows and he promised not to tell, I only hope I don’t let the cat out of the bag. Anyway, it was $20 off and I got a free notebook. I think I am going to use the notebook as a book journal. It has a hard cover and I can stick it under my pillow and the pages won’t get ruined.

Right now all I do with my book journal is write the book title and when I finished it. Since I have started writing reviews, I want to put a little more in my journal. I think this book will work nice, since you can take pages out and put them back in. I mean, you can move them around. So if you read something ahead of something else you can keep your pages in the right order.

>First Day

>of the last month of 2008.

I think I am allergic to lamb. We had lamb chops last night, and I didn’t like them. OK that’s fine, but I got a really bad stomach ache from them, not a normal stomach ache a hurting needles in the stomach, stomach pain. Since I am allergic to wool, I guess it isn’t too much of a stretch to be allergic to the meat of the animal too.

Last night I was bored and so I went to Barnes & Noble, fatal mistake. Fatal to my budget that is! I bought three books. Two were on my list so that is ok, the other one, well, it was interesting looking. For the titles, check out my blog: Bella is reading.

Em sent me a text to tell me there was a bomb scare/threat at the H.S. and the MTA puppies were there. Nice puppies! Big teeth. I asked her if they bit anybody and she said no, they just sniffed the lockers while everyone waited outside. Dogs have the best jobs. I bought the oil for her friend and sent her a picture of the bottle. This is what my day consists of!

Cookie sent me an e-mail saying she likes drivel, keeps her mind off sad thoughts. I should have told her, if you want drivel, read my blog!
