>I just dropped my car off for an oil change, now I am having breakfast at DD. When I get the car back I am going to get my nails done then my hair cut. After getting make-up last night and the car today I don’t feel like paying for a dye job. Then hall cleaning then Allsport. I have to go eat my breakfast now.

>this morning, funny though, there was a long line at Starbucks. A lot of schools were off today for President’s weekend.
Last night Em and I were talking about Vincent movies to watch while D is in Toronto. I said there is one but I didn’t want to say the name, wasn’t sure how she would react, but when she looked at me and said ‘Go ahead.’ I was pretty sure she was thinking the same, so I said, ‘Full Metal Jacket‘ and of course that was the same one she wanted to see. He has done a lot of movies, it is going to be hard to pick just a few. But that is one we both want to see.
Tonight I went up to Macy’s to get some make-up. Lancôme was having a give-away, I got some eye cream and it was enough for two gifts.
I was trying to find something that would show how many comments and names of commentors for my blog but couldn’t and I really should be getting to bed. I have a busy day planned for tomorrow.
>This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing, and cares less, tries to make your life miserable.
A woman was at her hair dresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
‘Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty. You’re crazy to go to Rome.
So, how are you getting there?’
‘We’re taking Continental,’ was the reply. ‘We got a great rate!’
‘Continental?’ exclaimed the hairdresser. ‘That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?’
‘We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s Tiber River called Teste.’
‘Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it’s gonna be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump, the worst hotel in the city! The rooms are small, the service is surly, and they’re overpriced.
So, whatcha’ doing when you get there?’
‘We’re going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope.’
‘That’s rich ,’ laughed the hairdresser. ‘You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it.’
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.
‘It was wonderful,’ explained the woman, ‘not only were we on time in one of Continental’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge!’
‘Well,’ muttered the hairdresser, ‘that’s all well and good, but I know you didn’t get to see the Pope.’
‘Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.’
‘Oh, really! What ‘d he say ?’
He said: ‘Where’d you get the shitty Hairdo?

WOMAN’S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She’s sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
Keep reading-they get better!!!
WOMEN’S REVENGE
‘Cash, check or charge?’ I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. ‘So, do you always carry your TV remote?’ I asked.
‘No,’ she replied, ‘but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.’
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.
CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up & down the aisles.
The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him.
He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife.
She directs him down the correct aisle.
A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, ‘Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, ‘You see, it’s like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it’s sooooooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ………. so does she.’
(I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton!)
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked arcastically, ‘Relatives of yours?’
‘Yep,’ the wife replied, ‘in-laws.’
WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day. 30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
The wife replied, ‘The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…’
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, ‘What?’
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, ‘I don’t know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
‘The wife responded, ‘Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!’
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, ‘You should do it because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee. The husband said, ‘You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.’
Wife replies, ‘No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.’
Husband replies, ‘I can’t believe that, show me.’
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says: ‘HEBREWS’
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
‘Please wake me at 5:00 AM.’ He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, ‘It is 5:00 AM. Wake up!
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece
>I did not post yesterday, I mean I did but I didn’t write a personal post. I didn’t turn on my computer on at all when I got home.
If you read this before and now see more, it is because I was trying to send that from my phone while on the train and I kept falling asleep. A combination of a late night and the soothing, rocking motion of the train. {HEE}
Gwen and I went to the meeting. Then we went to put gas in the car (Stitch used it all up!) then to Target to get shampoo and cat litter (and a box of whoppers, er malted milk balls, what I didn’t eat I left for Tigger this morning) then to the bank, she needed to deposit her paycheck (she won’t use the ATM in Fishkill, {Shrug}). So we didn’t get home until after 10:00, everybody was in bed, I searched through my stuff for something I know I got and now can’t find, (ARG) and did all that other bedtime stuff. All in all, I got to bed sooner than last night, but I was still oh so tired this morning. Falling asleep standing up tired.

>The e-mail came from the big boss and I submitted my application. I indicated what day I wanted and I have already figured out the train schedule. Now I just have to wait and see if it is approved. I will be so happy is I only have to work 9 days a pay period.
Today was allergy shot day. My arm is sore, but I got more reading time! I took Tylenol® so I should sleep ok. If I ever get to bed that is. I also went to the gym after my shot. Yay for me. Then I came home and took Gwen to DD so she could take a picture of the sign. For school, of course. She is getting very inventive at fulfilling her assignments. She needed one of the boys to download the picture to the computer though. Still not that technologically savvy.
I hate having such short posts, but I can’t think of anything else to say.
>I urgently needed a few days off work, But, I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted ‘Crazy’ then he would tell me to take a few days off. So, I hung upside-down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, so that the Boss might think I was ‘Crazy’ and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked, ‘What in the name of our good Lord are you doing?’ I told him I was a light bulb. He said, ‘You are clearly stressed out. “Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.”
I jumped down and walked out of the office… When my co-worker followed me, the Boss asked her, “…And where do you think you’re going?!”
(You’re gonna love this….)
She said, “I’m going home too… I can’t work in the dark.”

I e-mailed this to a co-worker and got this reply back.
Thank you…you funny princess just what I needed…starting laughing so uncontrollably that my boss came out of his office and told me to go home because he believed that I was suffering from MMBS syndrome, otherwise known and Monday Morning Blues Syndrome and it is known to be contagious so he sent me home. I will see you on Tuesday.
Your work is done here!
>Busy, had good timing this morning. Left the subway right before the fire department got there and closed it down! My weight this morning was 138.4 which is the same as the last time I weighed in.
I was going to go to Allsport, but decided since I just started back and am having cramps, besides I have my car tomorrow since I have to get my allergy shots, so I will go tomorrow.
Right now my neck is all cramping up and so I want to go to bed and sleep. See you tomorrow.
>Don’t know if it was the not having Scotch or the Tylenol® PM, but I got up early this morning and went out in service. I also went to the meeting. Gwen and I went to Panera for lunch and made some more plans for Em and D’s 25th Anniversary party. I hope they do this like they promised.
I was going to post yesterday that when I was at Saks yesterday and the woman was putting the moisturizer and stuff on my face, all I could think about was how fat my face was. Today I was 142.8, when means I have gained everything back. I went to Allsport and looked in the mirror and all I saw was my fat tummy. I know some would look at me and say I am not fat, and I know I really am not, just about 20-25 pounds overweight, with my health concerns I really need to get rid of the excess.
And once again I have stayed up too late. I need to go to bed now and I will see you tomorrow.
