just a (transplanted) city girl

>I already had my lunch, I am hoping we get to leave early. We didn’t get to for Memorial Day so who knows. I sat in the park to eat my sandwich and watched the people walking by, it was very interesting. I am very tired today, I really need to get some sleep tonight. I think I might need to take something.

I couldn’t send this from my phone, I had to type it on the computer. I really don’t like doing that. That has happened a few time. I am going to do only short posts from now on, and just combine them when I get home.

Still Here

Kind of like still crazy, looks like no more leaving 2 hours early before a holiday. Well it was never official or a sure thing, it was just a nice thing that happened. I am sending this from gmail since hotmail is having problems

Tigger lied to me, he said he was going to be talking to me all day and I have like 10 text messages from him.

>There is something I wanted to post here, some thought that flashed into my head that was profound but obviously not memorable because it is gone now. That is why I carry a notebook so I can capture these thoughts. I don’t even remember where I was when I thought it, maybe walking up from the train, that would explain why I didn’t write it down.

Now that it is gone, I have to come up with something else profound to post here but I can’t, so today will be another boring entry. Like my bras arrived yesterday and I am wearing one and so far it is comfortable. Or I finished Tell No One and started The Tea Rose and I posted a review on Shelfari so if you want to know what I thought of Tell No One go to the link at the bottom of this page and click on it. One more thing, Capt Ron was at the concert Sunday.

Yes really! I didn’t see him but he saw me. He paid for seats though so he didn’t get caught in the rain. Except he referred to it as the Doobie Brothers Concert. He doesn’t seem to be the Chicago type.

Tigger didn’t text me at all yesterday. Today he did, but only to ask if he could use my laptop to get some songs. I put all my Chicago CDs on here, and two new albums I bought from Amazon and told him about the CDs being on here. So that is why he wanted to use my laptop. Then he sent me another text, to ask for Reisen.

There are loud children outside, they sound like they are on our deck but they may just be incredibly loud. I think I will go upstairs and check it out. But I don’t know what I will do if they are they, am I mean enough to scare them? Well, I think I need to find out. Be back in a few.

>Water Efficiently for Smart Irrigation Month!
Did you know that one-third of the water Americans use daily is used to irrigate lawns, water gardens, and maintain landscaping? More alarming, up to fifty percent of that water goes to waste due to overwatering, runoff, and evaporation. With a few simple steps, we can significantly reduce the amount of water we use-and waste-on our lawns and gardens without compromising their health or appearance. July is Smart Irrigation Month, and EPA is encouraging homeowners across the country to take a closer look at their outdoor water use. There are several simple steps you can take to save water and money such as planting native plants, properly applying mulch, avoiding watering driveways and sidewalks, utilizing micro-irrigation (such as soaker hoses), and in-ground sprinkler systems. For more information on watering efficiently, and information on WaterSense irrigation partners, visit http://www.epa.gov/watersense/sim/index.htm.

>I am trying to send this text while eating but it is not easy for me to text with one hand, I just was hungry so I am scarfing down this sandwich while trying to type this. I used to write weird things I saw in my journal so here are 2.

Black woman wearing blue bra under yellow top,

rose petals in the tunnel to the 7 train.

OK so the black woman with the yellow top and blue bra is not so weird in New York City, but where did the rose petals come from? Did I mention they were big petals and dark red? Like the kind you buy for someone you love? I mean you buy red roses for people you love, not just the petals.

I just posted my first review on Shelfari. It was fun, like posting here is fun. I wrote it on the book Property, which I didn’t really care for. I think I need to check back with Booktalk because Melva and I kind of have a conversation going on.

>My mother used to say, its not the heat its the humidity, and she is right, it is not so much it is hot but that I can’t breathe the air. I have clothes in the washer to take care up, but I have committed to posting everyday here. This will be a short post, I am tired, my period didn’t start and I feel like I am about to throw up.

This morning Gwen and I went to C’s. They have no air conditioning, there were not a lot of people there, so it wasn’t too bad, but still, when we got in my car to leave, we both needed to use the inhaler.

Today was graduation, so Tigger was out in this nasty weather. I felt bad for him so before he got home I got his MP3 player and put the soundtrack for Wall-E on it. That reminds me, I need to put my Pepsi points in. I have a whole cup full of bottle caps. Stitch treated all of us to Olive Garden, the waitress looked at him and said, “You were in my music history class.” That happens a lot when Stitch goes out. A lot of college students work at restaurants.

I am going to sign off now and put my aching head and tummy to bed, after I hang up my clothes that is.

>I left home to catch the 6:33 with 15 minutes to get there, plenty of time. Unless there is construction on Fishkill Ave and it is completely blocked off after DDs, which was the case this morning. So I turned around, drove to Red Schoolhouse Road, took it to Rt 9D to the train station and caught the 6:33, only because it got in at 6:35. The train is ‘light’ today, I wonder if that will be the case going home.

Today I am wearing my Cleo Crocs. My little toes on each foot are taped up and I had to put a new band-aid on the blister on my left bunion, my left foot does not like the Cyprus crocs at all.

After going to four stores I finally found Laffy Taffy for Tigger. I put it in the gray cabinet so he will be sure to find it.

This morning I bought some Crows at Rite Aid, at the same time I was buying more band-aids and tape for my feet and Tums. I tried throwing them out, but just fished the box out. The candy was still in the box, and it is my personal trash so I am eating them. I took care of the Crows, I dumped them out of the box into the trash can now I definitely won’t eat them.

So I just had 4 slices of Canadian Bacon for lunch, Monday I start journaling in earnest, I will keep track on here. I am also going to start posting my weight here. I have to get serious, its not just the clothes.

The kids went to see ‘Wall-E’ today, of Tigger now wants the music. I said ‘No’, he cried in a text, you know he added the animated bear with water running down his face. I still said ‘No’, said I wouldn’t because I wanted to see it but didn’t get to, of course, I just downloaded it for him.

>To my other blog and it has the update date all wrong. So I am just jumping in here to see if this changes it. I will be back later to talk more.

forgot-my-phone
So I will not be able to blog at lunchtime. I will be back tonight. Have to find some paper to write notes today.

I combined my posts, I didn’t find any paper so I wrote nothing down to blog here. I tried to find the candy store so I could get Now-N-Later or LaffyTaffy for Tigger but I forgot to write the addresses down.

I joined this neat website called shelfari, you list all the books you have read or want to read and then you can comment on them. Neat! Now, I just need to send out friend requests so I can talk to people. As you can see, I added a Shelfari shelf to my blog, how cool is that! Now I don’t have to copy all the titles and save the covers to keep the list updated. So I really need to go to bed now. I pulled all the books out from under my bed and put them on the website. Found a couple that I bought and never finished. I will have to do more tomorrow.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you my Croc shopping ordeal is not over. I went online to Crocs.com and the shoes I want in the the color I want are not in my size. Pffft.
