>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.
>and I have to agree with ‘BOOW‘ that Lipton is rubbish. Actually I think he said that ALL American tea is rubbish.
Have I ever said that I like the way the British use the word ‘rubbish’? They use it for lots of things, not just when they are talking about trash. Also, I like the way my mouth feels when you say it, my lips smack together on the b’s.
Back to tea, I was going to try a British tea so I went to Amazon and ‘GASP’ $8.00+ for a box of tea?! Well, I’m American so I think I can be forgiven for sticking with Twinings. Besides I can buy Twinings loose. The loose tea is what is in the jar, which is actually an olive jar. I kept spilling the tea when I was wrestling with the tin it came in. These little jars are quite handy, I use one as a little bank on my desk at work.
Got these dollar coins when I bought M’s train ticket. I noticed there was no date on them. The date is on the edge of the coin. Date, ‘E pluribus unum’, and ‘In God We Trust’. Pretty cool huh? And speaking of coins, I just brought home a bunch in a ziploc baggie. I need to roll them so I can cash them in.

>I put in my new contacts this morning. I can actually feel the difference. Yesterday I finally called Lancôme to make an appointment for facials for Em & I. Ended up just she is getting a facial which is fine cause I really didn’t want one.
I saw a patch
of blue sky and now it is gone all I can see now are gray clouds. All I can smell is Fritos but for some reason they smell like corn nuts, I think I can smell aftershave or men’s cologne. Maybe it is the combination of smells.
We are the express train we are going fast, whoosh we just passed the local, whoosh we just passed Philipse Manor.
On another blog I was reading someone recommended a cold sufferer to use a ‘Nessi Pot’, she asked what is an Nessi Pot? I responded that I didn’t know what a Nessi Pot is but I use a Neti Pot and would post a picture of it on here. As you can see, I took two pictures.
This is used to rinse or cleanse your sinuses by pouring saline solution through your nose. The first few times I did it I didn’t do it right. Then I figured out how to use it. The first time I used it correctly, I thought I was going to DIE! Now that I have gotten a little better at it, I love it, it is great for cold and allergies, really helps me breathe better when I get stuffed up. Dr. Sharma recommends it too.

>I am still sticking to my goal of posting everyday. I kept forgetting today to send an e-mail to myself, I mean I sent the Salada tagline, but that’s not really a post. Also, I noticed that as soon as I mentioned the number of people reading my blog everyday, it dropped. SIGH
Today was kind of busy at work. People were bugging me about stuff all day, and I don’t think they even knew what they were talking about. I wish they would realize that I don’t really care and leave me alone.
Em was sending me E-mails all day, and Tigger started texting me when he got out of school, that is until he started doing his physics homework. He was asking Stitch to help him. And Stitch needs to do his paperwork for subbing so he can get a job and start paying for gas.
After work Em and I went to Allsport. I told her having Stitch take my car helps me work out, because I think, “Oh Em waited for me to get home before she went to work out so I have to go.”
My eyes are really bugging me and so I need to go put some drops in. Before I do that, I am going to put in some more taglines. And the Powerful Women’s Motto: “Live your life in such a manner that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says. ‘OH shit she’s awake!!'”
or maybe I am being a freak and shouldn’t care. I don’t even know what it means to be the IT girl. It might be a good thing, but I don’t think so cause no one wants to be IT. I think it means if you are IT, you are hot stuff or you are always wrong so in my case it means I am always wrong, should be used to it by now but it still stings.
Gwen was sick so she came home from class early so I didn’t have to go get her. She found out about my move and wanted to know why she was the last to know. I didn’t say, but isn’t she always? I told her that at first, the boys thought we were joking, so that is why they didn’t tell her. But I am not joking, I just hope nothing happens to totally muck it up.
Someone who’s blog I read on a regular basis had a major problem with her laptop and had to reinstall the hard drive so has lost everything that was on her computer. She mentioned today the she had 500 pictures. It reminded me that I haven’t put any pictures on my hard drive in a while, so I quickly got it and put the pictures on. Fortunately there was still enough room. I didn’t put my ‘phone’ pictures on because those are all on Picassa. So now my pictures are safe. What else matters?
>I am going to have a lot of things to put together when I get home but I keep thinking of things, as Tigger would say, I am having random thoughts. Like my windshield wipers don’t slap they click, I noticed that when I was driving yesterday, ‘click’ the wipers go up and down ‘click’, ‘click’ the wipers go up and down ‘click’. And I was up so late last night. First I was updating my pictures in Picasa then when I made my last trip to the toilet I saw the washer and remembered I needed to hang my wet clothes up which meant I had to put my dry clothes away got that done then went to bed. Then this morning I had my makeup case in my hand to put in my backpack for work but when I got on the train it wasn’t in there, so now I have naked eyes. Don’t look at me!
And now before I go to bed I have to address this book I sold so I can mail it tomorrow. Instead of doing that I am playing with my MP3 player. I think I messed it up and will need to replace it. I have no idea what I did or how to fix it.
Also, people are reading my blog! I got a counter and it goes up by ten everyday. Now I know some of those are mine, I also know I don’t check my blog 10 times per day! So now I am going to finish up some things, then I am going to bed.
Oh and I am such a dummy! I copied the songs on my MP3 player to my computer, re-synced them and the problem was still there. I started playing around with the player and went into settings, there it was, I hit on playback range, it had been changed to Selected Range instead of All Range. And here I deleted my playlists for nothing!

>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!
>we have a tank in our office. Well actually we have several, but this one is in my immediate area, with a big black and red fish Oscar. Every so often someone decides Oscar needs a tank mate and it usually does not end well. Last week someone put a fish in with Oscar and this morning it is belly up on the bottom of the tank. Maybe Oscar just got hungry over the weekend.

>I went to church and then I went to the gym. I feel so much better now. Not so slug like. I also went to Target. I don’t know if I mentioned it here, but my head was itching whenever I used the Paul Mitchel hair products. So I gave the one I bought to Em and went to Target to get Aussie. I also got a pair of leather mittens and gloves. I don’t remember if I still have a pair from last year, so I just got another one. Now I am looking at the bag with my winter stuff in it and there are two pairs of gloves in there. A nice pair, and a worn pair. The worn pair is the warmer of the two gloves and it is the one I use when I pump gas in the winter. Although, since I now have the garden gloves in my car, I might just keep on using them.
I got the second dress from Chadwicks. I got it a while ago and just have not worn it. I hadn’t even gotten it out of the package until this morning. Since the other dress was tight around the arms, I was a little worried this dress wouldn’t fit. Well as you can see, it fits just fine. I am trying to look like a model in this picture. I better keep my day job!
These is one of the dresses I posted about on my old blog. I don’t know if I mentioned the other dress came in first and it fits o.k., but is a little tight around the arms. I don’t know if that will ease up as I lose more weight, it is not so tight that I can’t wear the dress.
