>Sometimes

>Sometimes I feel like an idiot. Right now is one of those times. What causes these episodes? Little things, like yesterday I forgot my make-up and protein water and today I again forgot to grab a protein water and my cell phone. I mean I have my ‘city’ one, but only a few have that number. Also, I can’t access my e-mail account with this phone. Well I can, but I don’t know how much the cost is.

Last night Em said the forecast was for snow and we got it! If I wanted to be poetic, I would say there was a whisper of snow on my car this morning, not even enough to brush off, the wind blew it off pulling out of the driveway. It was wicked cold though. The sky is trying to peek through the clouds right now, but I’m sure it is still wicked cold out there. I will find out in 15 minutes, I have to leave to get my allergy shots today.

Em asked me to pick Gwen up after my shot, so I am going a little early. I sent Gwen a text message, but I don’t know if she will read it, she doesn’t know about my ‘city’ phone. I will just send her another one from my other phone when I get home. Since I need to start getting ready to leave, I am going to send this and I will be back later.

>Strange dream

>I had a very strange dream last night. I dreamed I was at a WW meeting (I am a WW member but I am online only) and Dayna was the leader (she is no longer a leader) and I was trying to explain to her my reasoning for journaling and not counting points. She kept looking at me. Just looking, she didn’t say anything. Anyway, now I have decided that tomorrow morning I have to weigh myself and I have to start using the online tracker to count my points. No more fooling around.

Speaking of dreams, I also dreamed that someone was in our basement, but it wasn’t our basement, it was more like the basement at work but the doors wouldn’t close and lock. Then someone else came and hit me and tried to beat me up but it didn’t hurt and I couldn’t defend myself. That was when I realized it was a dream, I had some other weird dreams that I can remember but can’t describe. Does that ever happen to you?

There was something else I was going to say about yesterday, but I can’t remember it. Anyway I have to get ready for the meeting so I really should go now.

>Work trip

>Tomorrow I go to Lake Placid, they are forecasting snow. They gave me an Impala, I hope I don’t wreak it. I have the address already in my GPS and I checked the cigarette lighter to make sure it worked. Then I almost got lost coming home because I forgot to change the destination to home and when I realized it, I had no idea where I was. I knew I was near Tarrytown, but that was about it. I quickly changed it and got back on the right road home. Now I need to pack for tomorrow, but I really don’t feel like it, I want to wait until Gwen gets home so I can show her how to treat her coat.

I have given up on Gwen, she can figure out how to treat her coat herself. My eyes hurt from my contacts and I forgot my eye drops last night so they are really bugging me. I just bit my tongue so hard I had to go upstairs and get a spoonful of ice chips for it, and I still have to pack! I really don’t have to pack much, I am only staying overnight. I am just nervous going all the way up there by myself. Sometimes I think I shouldn’t watch so much TruTV, then I would scare myself so bad!

For some reason my labels are not working. I have to show them and click on them when I used to be able to just start typing the name and they showed up, maybe I made too many. I am taking my computer with me, I don’t know if I will have internet access, but if I do, I will be posting. If I don’t I will be sending e-mail from my phone and have to clean them up when I get back.

>Hello

>It is evening and I am not feeling so great. Earlier tonight I took Tigger to Verizon because his phone is giving him problems so now he is getting a new phone which he is not exactly happy about because he thinks the enV is garbage. So now we have to wait and see if this phone works or if it tanks on Tigger. He thinks the enV just doesn’t like him! I didn’t really just take him, I wanted to get ice cream, so I asked him to come with. He said he would, so I went to Cold Stone Creamery which is next to the Verizon Store.

So I am watching Forensic Files right now, it is one I haven’t seen yet. So I will talk to you later. I was wrong, I had seen the Forensic Files before. However, there was one after that which I had not seen and the satellite signal was lost before it ended. So I don’t know how they proved their case. Gwen was down in the basement then since the boys were being ‘mean’ to her. Both of us were waiting for Primeval to come on. Hoping the signal would come back before it started. It came back within a few minutes of it starting.

Today was just spent sleeping in and then shopping. I got new jeans and eyeliner. I don’t like the purple Lancôme eyeliner I have, Em couldn’t find the right shade of red in Lancôme so we both ended up at the M.A.C. counter and found what we wanted. I told her, M.A.C. is my favorite right after Lancôme.

I have 500 hits on my blog. I am sure a lot of those are from me posting and tweaking my posts until they look like I want them to. But still, it means some are reading. Maybe insomniacs? LOL!

>Weird cat and parrot

>The cat has decided that on top of the parrot’s cage is her spot, and the parrot doesn’t mind her at all. He just sits in there eating his food, “Yes, there is fur and teeth and nails right above me, but she can’t get me so why should I care?”

>people realize when they look like flaming idiots?

I was at Borders last night, I had a coupon and it is time to get next years appointment book. As I was standing looking through the Moleskin display (cause you know that is the brand appointment book I get every year) a man was at the register trying to return something and it was against Borders policy, whatever he wanted to return they couldn’t accept it, and so he thought they (the people in that store) should change Border’s policy to accommodate him, “If you want to keep me as a customer, you will give in to my demands.”, he was very loud and got on the phone, after asking, “Do you have the receipt for the stuff you got me for my birthday? Cause Border’s won’t take it back”, he then says, “Well now you got some new stuff cause they won’t take it back.” So now whoever gave it to him knows he was returning it, except he is probably the type that told them when he got it it “Why did you get me this? I don’t like it.” People like that are one of the reasons I left retail sales.

>good morning

Filed under: Miscellanea

>I was going to post last night, don’t remember exactly about what, but remembered I had a survey from J.D. Powers to complete, they even sent me a dollar to do it! So anyway, it had sixty something parts and about a gazillion questions, OK maybe only a bazillion. When I was done I had to go to bed.

I am feeling much better today and I would like to give my thanks to everyone for their well wishes and interest. On another note, as I was heading out the door Stitch said, “I don’t even know what to say about this.” I turned around to look and there was Abigail (the cat) on top of Woodstock’s (the parrot) cage. And Woodstock was not making a sound, I hope he wasn’t dead from a heart attack.

I just got an e-mail with this quote in it:

“A woman is like a tea bag–you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), United States diplomat and reformer

>NYC Bound

Filed under: Miscellanea
October 18, 2008

>YAY! All I had planned to do today was take my car to get some work done and go get a flu shot. M started texting me that she wanted to go to the city. Of course, you know I am always up for a trip to the city. Right now she is working but when she gets off we will be on our way there! I still have time to get my car and get my flu shot, in fact I should be getting a phone call about my car anytime now. If I don’t get a flu shot that is not a tragedy I can get it another day.

When looking at other people’s blogs, I get jealous sometimes. They seem so polished and accomplished. They write these long blogs about something, I look at mine and it seems to be a jumble of thoughts. I realize it is because I am committed (some would say I need to be committed) to posting everyday. I don’t always have something to talk about so I just post whatever thoughts are coming into my head, that’s why it is a jumble.

I was thinking about that as I was walking back from dropping off my car. That I could run all these thoughts in my head into one coherent essay about my life on a Saturday morning. How I had to drop M sweater off so she could work on it while she was at work, and how it was too cold for what I was wearing and I was freezing so I stopped at DD’s to get something to eat and wait for it to warm up a bit. And how I hate it when a place changes its menu. Like at DD they have these egg white flat bread breakfast sandwiches I like to get. But they have added regular flat bread sandwiches and that is what they gave me because I didn’t realize I had to specify what kind of flat bread sandwich I wanted. Anyway, I have to go now because Tigger wants songs and I have to get my car and M keeps texting me and I have to put make-up on to go to Manhattan.

>I have a question for you.

>Today is a holiday for school children and civil service employees (ME!). Tigger was wearing the same dirty shirt and shorts he had on yesterday. When I commented about them he said, “So, I’m not going anywhere.” Now I have been known to wear clothes more than once, but only if they didn’t get dirty. These clothes he had on were filthy! He’s not a little kid, he’s a junior in High School! Is this normal? I don’t remember being like that when I was in school, then again I am a girl, (always have been too!) so maybe that is why.

Time to go to Allsport, I have my workout clothes on and just have to check things out upstairs before I go. I am taking my camera because I want to take some pictures of leaves while I am out and about.

Still haven’t gone yet. Em wanted to go at 4:00 so I am waiting for her. I did go to get some leaf pictures but where I went there were plenty of leaves, but no place to pull over. There is still the tree by the vet’s office. I may make a quick trip there.

Gwen took pictures of the things she wants to sell so I have to post them tonight along with the dolls, that I keep putting off. Well I’m off, again!

>Discoveries while cleaning

Filed under: Miscellanea
October 12, 2008

>Yesterday I told you had to move stuff from the rolling cart. I enlisted Gwen’s help. I decided not to just move stuff but to also throw out stuff I didn’t need. In the bottom I found a backpack full of yarn along with a started afghan or blanket whichever you want to call it. I think there is a difference but I don’t know what it is.

The backpack was moldy so I had to throw it out. Fortunately the backpack had a plastic lining and the yarn was in plastic bags so it was O.K. After we got down with the cleaning and everything Gwen and I went out. I took her to the bank to cash her paycheck then we went to the mall, got lunch, got ice cream and I got some containers to put the yarn from the backpack in.

I thought one would be big enough, but to be on the safe side I got two, so now all the yarn in my computer room that was hanging in bags is in a nice plastic container. I have no idea where the pattern is that I was using for the afghan, I don’t even remember what book it was in, so I just made up a pattern out of my head, I just started it on what was already done, so it looks kind of weird, but I am writing it down so I can recreate it. Then last night when everyone was at the movie about the windshield wiper guy, I stayed home and knitted.

Today after church I wanted to go to Allsport, I also wanted to take pictures of leaves, but I really didn’t feel up to it. Then I remembered that tomorrow is a holiday, so I can do all that tomorrow. Maybe instead of driving around, I will take a walk and take pictures.
