>My niece is having a baby

>I think I already mentioned that. Anyway, here is the card I sent her, I got it at Borders. The inside is blank, I don’t remember exactly what I said. I also included a gift card from Target. Well, I said I wasn’t going to send her any money, I didn’t say anything about anything else.

On another note, another person signed my guest book! That makes me so happy! I now have 13 slides in my book, which means I really have 12 guests since one is of me. Well, OK, 11, one person signed twice.

>Taking a break

>From my game and everything else. Em is happy, she found out the date for the first new episode of Law & Order:CI.

I left work early, my back is still hurting me. I need to do my exercises but I can’t work up the energy too. As soon as I finish here I am going to take a bath and do other grooming stuff, then I will be back to check my e-mail and see if anyone else has been reading. Oh and I have to read all the blogs I follow, haven’t done that in a while.

Well, talk to everyone later.

These are all true.
 
Waiting His Turn: Feliks Goldshtein, 24, was arrested minutes after he allegedly robbed a bank in Ohio on Jan. 8. He may have tipped off the teller by standing in line while wearing a ski mask before staging the holdup, police said. (ya think?)
 
Squeezed Out: Michael G. Dick allegedly walked naked into an elderly woman's home and pushed her into a chair. But the 88-year-old victim got the best of him, reaching around and squeezing his crotch. He bolted, and was soon arrested. She was unharmed. (Don't mess with Grandma.)
 
Raiding the Refrigerator:  Devin Perry allegedly went to great lengths Dec. 14 to recover his urine sample from a probation office in Gainesville, Fla. Police say Perry, 26, shot out a window at the office and stole a small refrigerator with the sample, which tested positive for drug use. Perry was arrested at his home. (O.K. this guy is just stupid.)
 
Bad Dad: According to police, Daniel Allen Everett showed up in a "World's Greatest Dad" T-shirt for a sex meeting with someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl. The Michigan man pleaded guilty to sex abuse on Aug. 2. (I don't have anything to add about this.)
 
Duct Tape Bandit: In August 2007, a man wrapped his head in duct tape and tried to rob Shamrock Liquors in Ashland, Ky. He fled after the owner wielded some duct tape of his own — wrapped around a club. Kasey Kazee pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. (Isn't duct tape great? One guy says yes, the other, maybe not.)

>65%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?

I love these things! I found this one on Bonnie’s blog um, oh, it’s called, oh snap! Just click on the link!

>Bedtime for me

>I have much of today doing nothing. But then, that is all I had planned for today. Stayed in bed late, then a few errands then playing on my computer. I did get a card and gift card for my niece who is having a baby soon. I don’t know when exactly. I got a card for Em to make her laugh. It worked. I also got an envelope and got it addressed for my taxes.

So now I just have to address the card for my niece and write something in it. And I have to take them to the post office tomorrow. That won’t be hard.

Tigger’s back is still bothering him. I bought him some candy and some drumsticks. I got myself some M&M ice cream cones since the grocery store didn’t have any of the nut free drumsticks. Now I have to go.

>Tax day

>No it’s not April already, it is my tax day, I am sitting here with my computer getting ready to file. I am in New York which means I pay Federal and State taxes. I file on-line for the Federal and mail the State. The reason is, not only do I have to pay to file the State taxes, after they are filed electronically, I have to mail in the forms anyway and they don’t start processing the return until they receive the paper work. Kind of like how they do my expense reports. Except I don’t have to pay for them to process the expense report, and mine is being held up because I forgot a receipt and the person handling my claim sent me the request for the receipt the day before she went on vacation and no one else can process it. SIGH.

Other than that not much going on today. Em is going shopping to restock the freezer (yay) and I am just sitting around with a pain in my lower back.

I stayed home with Tigger and Gwen. We played Clue, she won one, he won one, I accused both of them of cheating. Then Gwen and I played Hangman. I was thinking of it because it was in the latest Dexter book. Neither one of us got hung, but it was close a couple times!

>Long and lovely

>the girl from . . .

Huh what? Oh sorry.

I got a request from one of my regular readers for a picture of my nails. They do look very nice, unfortunately my hands do not. My skin is dry and I have cuts and such. I managed to take a nice picture of the nails as you can see.


A little blurry, it’s the best I could do. The nail polish is mine, that I got at Sally’s and thought was red, it’s dark pink, so I can touch it up if need be. The gel nails are so nice. Tigger said they were long and beautiful.

>I found this at the park, on one of the picnic tables, written on, front cover missing, first page torn.

As I was leaving, I found this on the grass between the picnic table and the parking lot. I don’t know if you can see from the cover, but the book is Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I know some people might be thinking, “Oh its just a cheap paperback.” To me it is important, I feel cheap paperbacks are printed to encourage people to read, they should not be scribbled on and torn and left in parks! Unless you’re releasing them. But I can think of lots of better places to ‘release‘ a book.

>Our freezer died one day. The one in the basement, we still had the one attached to the fridge so we didn’t lose any food. D and Em bought a new one. Today it was delivered, D made a space for it yesterday and moved the old one out.

When I came home from work and opened the door to the basement, Butterscotch was not trying to get upstairs. I wondered why, it didn’t take long to find out the reason. He found a new perch. He was in kitty heaven. I think he slept up there. Such a silly kitty.

His fun is not over now that the old freezer is gone and the new one delivered. When I got home from Allsport, there were cat paw prints all over the new freezer.

He’s having a long and animated conversation. But with an empty chair. At least it looks empty to me.
