>All I wanna do

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 14, 2008

>I had a cheryl crow earworm this morning. That’s what happens when I read random G.D.T. threads in the morning. I was up way to late last night and I didn’t even get anything done. Tigger has the baby assignment, kind of funny his partner is a boy. Em says, “Tigger and KM adopted twins.” two each two pound bags of rice.

I changed my purse and I forgot to put my ID in the purse I brought today. I feel bad cause I like this purse better then the expensive EB one I bought. I just need to get the black one for winter.

Stitch has my car today, normally he doesn’t so I don’t know what is going to happen tonight, if I will have to get Gwen or if I can go to Allsport. I feel like I haven’t been in forever and really need to go.

My sniffles have morphed into a real cold and I am getting a head pressure feeling. I really should go now. I think I have said everything I need to say.

I finished reading Hell Bent by William G. Tapply and have posted a review on Shelfari and LibraryThing. You can click here to go to my review on LibraryThing. I do not want to post it here since it is a fairly long review but I enjoyed the book. I don’t feel like running out and getting more Brady Coyne Novels, but it was an enjoyable read.

>Organic tea tastes funny

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 10, 2008

>Last night when I was going home, I was hungry, not surprising, I am always hungry when I leave work. I decided to get tea instead of getting something to eat. I stopped at my usual place and got tea with fat free milk. It tasted funny. I thought maybe because they put regular milk in it, but then I noticed the tag said organic tea and realised, it’s not a funny milk taste, its the tea that tastes funny. Now I know there are people who will take issue with my stance and say that it doesn’t or its better or whatnot, I say: DON’T MESS WITH MY TEA! So from now on, I will be making my own tea and putting it in a travel cup to take home. Also, I think I will only be buying PG Tipps. It really does taste better.

>I am so tired and hungry

Filed under: Uncategorized — 2 Comments

>I hate having to wait until I get to work to eat. The thing is, I would have to get up at 4:00 am to be able to have breakfast at home. That is something that will never happen. So I am stuck just dealing with it. Real age says to lose weight you need to eat within an hour of rising. Maybe that is why my weight lose averages 0.4 a week and M’s is 2 pounds a week!

There is a raffle at GCT. Two cars, one is a gunmetal gray, Maserati Quattroporte and the other is a cherry red Maserati Gran Turismo. They are selling 400 tickets at $1,000 a ticket for the Quattroporte car. That means the car is $400,000. They are selling 300 tickets at $1,000 a ticket for the Gran Turismo, so it is only $300,000. Click this link to read the article in the New York Times. So someone is going to get a car worth at least $300,000 dollars for $1,000. It won’t be me, I am trying to sell the car I have! I remember another raffle they had, the Maserati was tangerine (really!) and the doors opened up. That was a very cool car.

I had a ‘only in New York’ thought when I was crossing the street coming into work from the 7 train. “Only in New York would you find a bunch of remotes scattered all over the street.”

My boss is still trying to get the address to my blog. He asked for an excerpt from it. I didn’t want to because I thought he meant send him a link to a post from the blog and then he would be able to find it, so he said no do a cut and paste. So I did the one from homecoming, making sure to take out any links to my blog in the document.

Pictures from homecoming

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 4, 2008

I picked these four photos to post. I was trying to post on WW about them and two times I got an error message. Now the page just won’t load. I am going to have some dinner then I will be back.

This first photo is the bleachers in the football field. Of course this field is used for more than just football, there is a track around the field. A few years back the Empire State Games were held here. The kids were able to volunteer for support services for them so that was a good experience for them.

Somebody brought their cute little long haired dachshund to the parade. I don’t know if it is a boy or girl, but the curly hair on the ears make me think its a girl. She looks like she is waiting for someone. She was very well behaved, didn’t jump around or bark or pull on her leash. Another reason I think she is a girl. She was so cute I just had to take her picture.

Here is the marching band, they are having to wait for traffic to clear, this is where Verplanck Ave, Cannon St., and N Cedar St. meet before you get to the football field. It used to be the police would put a car at N. Walnut and Verplanck to block traffic, but the past few years they haven’t done that. This year a big truck parked facing the wrong way on Verplanck so the band and rest of the parade could get into the football field.

And who is this? Could this be who Ms. Dachshund is waiting for? This is definitely a boy and you can tell by his blue shirt that he is a BEACON BULLDOG!

Now if you want to see all the pictures I took, there are not that many of them, look at the sidebar to the right, I put in a slideshow, next week I will move it down below the Manhattan one.

>Fred was in the parade I took some pics and a couple of videos. In one, I keep pointing the camera at the ground. The reason is I wasn’t sure the camera was recording and so I turned it down to look at the back. Now I am going to try to insert the videos. Looks like they worked! To avoid confusion, I am going to post the pictures in a separate post. The one to watch for is the short blond kid with sunglasses playing the clarinet. The voice at the end of the video is Stitch.

Here is the band starting off, you can’t see Fred, he was on the other side of the street.

>I was tagged! Six weird and Random Things about me!
I was tagged by Jennifer’s Books for the six quirky things about me meme. This is the first time I’ve been tagged for a meme.

The rules are:
* Link to the person who tagged you
* Post the rules on your blog
* Write six random things/unspectacular quirks about yourself
* Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them
* Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog
* Let the tagger know when your entry is posted

Weird things about myself, in no particular order:

1) I can not sleep without a light on and things all over my bed.
2) Even though I was born and raised in America, I have been known to occasionally use British words, like dust bin, knickers and my favorite, knackered.
3) My favorite books are true crime and my favorite TV show is Forensic Files and my favorite Network is TruTV.
4) I would sell my children (if I had any) a kidney and ⅓ of my liver to live in Manhattan.
5) When I am in a bad mood and rude to people, I later tell them I have a twin and she is perpetually grouchy.
6) I talk to other car drivers, my cat, my friend’s bird, my computer and my car like I think they can understand me and then wait for an answer.

Now the question is who to tag next? I only know about 8 bloggers and most of them have been already tagged so I am tagging Viva Law Vegas.

>DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT

Filed under: Uncategorized
September 29, 2008

>Wanda’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told the repairman, ‘I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you a check.’

‘Oh, by the way don’t worry about my dog Spike. He won’t bother you, but whatever you do, do NOT, under ANY circumstances, talk to my parrot!’ ‘I REPEAT, DO NOT TALK TO MY PARROT!!!’

When the repairman arrived at Wanda’s apartment the following day, he discovered the biggest, meanest looking dog he has ever seen. But, just as she had said, the dog just laid there on the carpet watching the repairman go about his work.


The parrot, however, drove him nuts the whole time with his incessant yelling, cursing and name calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled…

‘Shut up you stupid, ugly bird!’


To which the parrot replied, ‘Get him, Spike!’

See – Men just don’t listen!
