>A very bad thing happened

>This girl, a senior, (the boys know who she is, but not really friends) was driving her car and a boy (the boys also know knew him) on a bike hit her car and was killed. Of course she feels guilty, of course some people are giving her sh*t about it. The boys said, “It was an accident, nobody’s fault.” But people need to blame someone, and no one speaks ill of the dead. Em told me the boy ran a stop sign, ran a stop sign and turned a corner and BAM. So in reality it was his fault, still an accident. Just bothers me, this poor girl who feels guilty (how I know I’ll explain in a minute) is getting hate text and hate messages. One person was standing next to Fred and made a comment to the effect that the girl acted intentionally. Fred let him know how he felt, he didn’t get in trouble. Guess everyone agreed with Fred.

Em and I were going to the mall, I hadn’t been driving that long, and I was driving along the road about 40, up ahead this boy was on a bicycle having trouble controlling it, I think he was smoking, Em said something and I said, “yes I see him.” Took my foot off the gas, and his bike tire hit the edge of the road, the bike flipped and he landed in the middle of the road. I stood on the brake, hit his bike which flipped over and hit him, knocking him down. He wasn’t hurt, his bike wasn’t damaged, everyone was fine. I felt guilty, I saw his face looking at my car and saw him start to scramble away and then the bike hit him knocking him down. I.felt.guilty. I still remember his face, not so much the features, but the expression, “O.M.G. I’m going to be hit by a car!” I was that close, and I FELT GUILTY.

>I saw a deer

>Day 3 of Weight Watchers, and it is harder then I remember. Either that or I just have gotten used to eating whatever I want, which of course is why I gained 25 pounds. Now don’t worry, I’m not going to start listing what I ate here, I do that on Facebook. Right now I am not really changing what I am eating, just cutting out the junk. Now I am the ‘if I eat it I have to count it’ and when I look at how many points is in a bag of chips …. I weighed myself and I am up a pound from Saturday. No, I don’t think I have gained, it was the end of the day and Saturday I weighed in the morning.

The plan was also to get back to Allsport, except when I got home my car was not here. So instead I went for a walk. Gwen went with me, we walked to Ron’s then home. On the way home, walking past the park I looked up on the grass and a deer was standing there watching us. I stopped Gwen and pointed she looked up at the deer and I gave it a little wave, when I did that it flipped its tail at me. No I am not kidding, making this up or delusional. I was getting my phone out to take a picture when it really started waving its tail around and I knew it was gonna run away, and it did.

This is not the first time I have seen deer in this park, once before I saw a whole family. The really amazing thing? This park is in the middle of town.

I was just typing something out and it said new blank page or blog post. HUH? Who knew I could send blog posts from my word processing program. This is way cool.

I am home today; it is my regular Wednesday off which has once again led me to spending money. Gwen wanted to go to the bank and then the mall so she could get an iTunes card. I needed poster hangers and an envelope to mail a book out. After I write the review, which will be this weekend. Then I decided to look for a better strapless bra, Em said she got a good one at Macy’s, while I was looking at them, Gwen was looking for new pajama shorts. I ended up buying shorty pajamas for her and for me. I don’t know why other then I thought they were a good price and I thought they were pretty.

Now home and putting off something that I must do. Story of my life. Can’t think of why I put these things off. Well, I better go now.

>Sorry I have been away, my only excuse is its baseball season (big grin).

We have left the great Pacific Northwest and are back to my part of the country. A few years back, for a couple summers in a row, my best friend and I took vacation in Vermont, while there I picked up some postcards. Here’s one.

The Hammond Covered Bridge built in 1843,
spans the Otter Creek by the Pittsford -Florence Road in Pittsford, Vermont.

>Time for bed

>Sitting here trying to think of something to say while I stuff myself with Milk Duds®. I can’t even of what I wanted to post earlier. Here’s the thing, on the train in the morning, I always am thinking of what I want to post, normally I get my phone out and send an e-mail here to post. This morning I was just so tired I didn’t. I kept thinking about all day and never did, and now I don’t remember.

The shower is leaking, D can’t do anything to fix it right now because he is still recovering from his surgery. I did my hair last night so I needed to wash it tonight, I figured the best thing to do would be to go to the gym. Then I decided since I was going to the gym I should work out and now my legs are sore.

Well, I am just rambling here so I will say goodnight.

>Tomorrow in Manhattan

>

I have a meeting to go to tomorrow, my former boss Gary (not his real name), will be there. I am NOT coming back to the office.

The only potential snag is my current boss may tell me I have to come back, pfft is what I say to that, and to him. Unfortunately, someone from my office is coming with me. He will be told, I have some things to take care of, what I won’t tell him is what it is I am taking care of.

D should be home tomorrow, which shouldn’t affect my ‘business’ in Manhattan. I hope to scan my postcard tomorrow for Friday’s post. See you later.

>D’s surgery was Tuesday, just in case you didn’t notice the time on my last post. Today is my regular day off/pass day. So I got to sit here and watch the Yankees game (day game), I missed the first hour or so cause I had to go to the store so I missed a couple home runs.

Em came home to get Tigger to take him up to DCC to register then I think they are going up to see D. Em says he is really not feeling well and not looking well. His sugar was up so he is being kept for another night. So not good but I guess better in the long run.

Now I have to go off and see about dinner.

>Missed the deadline

>I meant to get back here before midnight to do another quick post but I forgot. Now I have to go to bed.

What I wanted to post was that D and the kids gave Em her anniversary present, an iPad. It was a surprise (wink). I wasn’t the one that gave it away, I will have to ask her later if she knew what was in the box, I haven’t had a chance to talk to her without anyone around. If she did know, she put on a wonderful act and D and the kids are so proud of themselves.

>I never wonder

>why I can’t get up early, I know why, it’s because I don’t go to bed early enough!

Tonight is a perfect example, I keep saying, to myself, your head is aching, you have to get up early in the morning, you have a monster sunburn that you are not going to sleep well, and my answer to myself? You have to type your blog post before you sleep! The problem is, when I am tired and achy, I can’t think of anything to say!

This weekend was very busy, and this week promises to also be busy. Got a meeting and my off day and D is having surgery this week. So yes, now I am going to bed.

>For all of you who commented on my PFF, I have approved your comments and thank you for them. I was away from my home computer for a few days. I mean I was home, but had no time or was too tired to even turn on my computer. I have less of an urgency to do it now that my e-mail comes to my phone, and I can go on DITL, Facebook and Twitter on my phone, and those are 4 of the 6 main reasons I go on the computer, 5th is blogging and 6th is the other sites I can’t get to my phone. That is not necessarily in order of importance.

Yesterday I was not sun smart (as my doctor tells me to be) and so my legs are fried. I don’t know how long I will be able to keep this laptop on my lap. My shoulders and back are also burnt but not as red. I don’t know if you can see how truly red my legs are here, but they are very red and painful. My shoulders are also burnt, but not as bad.

Something else making me happy is seeing all the flags lighting up on my blog. I have worldwide appeal! I never thought I would have people visiting my blog from all over. Very nice.
