I like John Mayer and I like Elmo. So I had to share.

>On the name of my blog.
I am going to be leaving soon. I cut out my bag and I want to get started putting it together. I want it to be done by next Saturday. I don’t have anything planned for next Saturday, I just want it to be done. I decided with the leftover fabric to make a little quilted bag, if is is pretty enough, it will be a gift for my 3 year anniversary of my blog. Which will be in November. If this goes well, I may drag out the dress I’ve had cut out since I don’t know when and sew it. That would be nice, a new dress for spring. If I remember correctly it is yellow.
Well, I had more to say, but I just looked at the time and I only have an hour to sew.
>I woke up with a headache, and a voice mail message from someone I was supposed to meet at a friends house 30 minutes earlier, I will have to apologize tomorrow. I also had a stomach ache. Both were related to the fact that I am a girl. Enough said about that.
Last night I went up to JoAnn’s to get fabric. Saw Alex and Doreen there, so I didn’t get to the rest of the places I wanted to go. I did get fabric for my new bag, that I am now going to make myself since Em is working on clothes for Puerto Rico. When I showed her the fabric today, she thought it was very nice and pretty and would make a good bag. She also thanked me for the rings I gave her, she said, “I like these cheap rings.” Then I showed her the choker I got, silver heart with black cords tied to it. Gwen looked at me and said, “You do realize you’re not a teenager anymore?” 
to Gwen!
We went to the library, I wanted to get out of the house, but I still wanted to go online. So I did stuff online and Gwen looked for DVD’s. She got three, after finding out there was NO LIMIT to the number she could get. This was after she told me there was a limit of 3 books and I told her, that’s funny cause right now I have 6 books out. Then we were going to come home but Em wasn’t home, so we got lunch.
It was a very nice day so we got hamburgers from this restaurant with a chalkboard menu and grass-fed beef from cattle that were treated nice (or something weird like that, Gwen read it on the menu) then went to the park to read. Had a bit of shock when we discovered that some of the picnic tables have been removed. There used to be some at the top of the hill and the back of park near the Junior High School, they were gone, there were only picnic tables in the covered area near the playground. What I thought was weird was the grills were still there, so you could come cook your hamburgers, but couldn’t sit and eat them.
Then Gwen wanted chips to eat while we watched the movies. So we went up to Hannaford’s, I also took the opportunity to go to Sally’s to get nail stuff, which included some blue nail polish (did I mention a nail came off yesterday? I have to repaint my nails now since I wasn’t able to glue it back on. I tried using clear nail polish, didn’t work.) and to take Gwen to the bank.
It was a bad idea, I forgot about the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Am I the only one who finds it odd to have a St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 7th? Gwen was wondering why since St. Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday we celebrate it here. Sometimes I wonder what she did in school, cause I don’t think she was listening to her teachers.
We finally made it home, after a 40 minute drive that normally takes 20. Em was sleeping, she went to a S** L** party at Pam’s and Tim was pouring, enough said about that too! So we watched one of the DVD’s, and which one did we watch? Stitch insisted on Anne of Green Gables.
It was such a nice day, it was hard to believe we got this on Monday.

This is Lil’ Bit, who has been living in a New York Animal Shelter for 2 years, in a small cage. She needs a loving home, watch these video’s to see how lovable she is: Lil’ Bit, Lil’ Bit in snow.
I read all about her at Sarah’s who read all about it at Daryl’s. I’m not able to do anything directly, but I have a readers and then you have readers. So if we all pull together and blog about Lil’ Bit, maybe we can find her a good home.
Here is what Daryl had to say about her.
“Like many animal lovers, Rosanna volunteers at her local shelter. She has become bonded with one particular dog that has been at the shelter for two years now. Lil’ Bit owns up to her name, she’s a little chunk of love on four legs.
After two years in a shelter in Wantagh, New York, she’s wondering when she will get her chance at a loving home. Lil’ Bit has never met a person she did not like and has so much affection to give.
Lil’ Bit is approximately seven years old and although she has very few teeth, she manages to get her food down just fine. She’s hopeful that her new family will help her shed those extra pounds so she can find her waistline again.
Please help Lil’ Bit find the loving home she deserves by posting her flyer in your community. Please also pass the flyer onto others who can do the same.
If you would like more information on this adorable sweetie, please contact Rosanna directly at: luvyourdog11@optonline.net”
Please freely copy this post, I don’t need any acknowledgement, I just want us all to use the power of our blogs, or email and the internet to find this little dog a loving home.

>What day was it? I think it was yesterday. Yes it was I just found the text message from Tigger: i found earings in the wash that are urs, and i put them in ur room (exactly as he typed it). Yay! I am so happy, so now I have two pairs of purple dangly earrings. You (well I at least) can never have too many purple things.
I also found out that Butterscotch is a water snob. He sneaks into the upstairs to drink Abigail’s water. I could never figure out why, then I see Gwen putting water in her dish, from the water cooler. He likes the bottle water! I just put tap in his dish.
Em asked me if I would go to the Tempest with Gwen, she needs to go to another play for one of her classes, so on the way home I stopped at the bookstore and got a copy so I could read it before we went. when I got home I showed the book to Em, she then told me that Gwen refuses to go see the Tempest. So I asked her, “So what am I going to do with this?” She says, “Read it?” When Stitch got home I was upstairs and I told him about Gwen not going to see the Tempest and he said, of course she won’t, then I told him I bought a copy of the Tempest, what am I going to do with it? He smiles, “Read it.”
It is a nice copy, it has a glossary so I will actually will be able to understand the language.
>this post would start out, I hate – as in – I hate when I run out the door without all my make-up on and still miss the train. It isn’t starting like that because I didn’t miss the train, and I do have some of my make-up on so I won’t scare any little children (Unless I want to that is, ha ha!) and I carry my lipstick with me always so my lips are covered.
I sent a tweet about Tigger finding my earrings and Butterscotch being a water snob, but the last time I checked it hadn’t shown up. I was going to blog about them eventually, the tweet was just a reminder.

I was late, but since I am normally early, my boss didn't say anything, I actually saw him on the subway at GCT.
The worst part of the commute was walking, across the MetroNorth parking lot at home, where I almost missed the train since I refuse to run, then from the subway to my office. No snow drifts, but the snow was packed solid and frozen so I had to pick my way over it without falling. Then as I was crossing Jackson St, the glare from the sun shining in my eyes was so great I couldn't even see the lines for the crosswalk, it didn't help they were covered with ice and snow. The parking lot at work actually had an ice free path. Someone must have been working hard yesterday.
