>Walk yesterday

>I think I forgot to mention the deer I saw when I was walking to the park yesterday. I will fill in the details later. Abigail left the basket of towels to sleep on me last night and I woke up feeling like I was pinned to the couch.

Ok so I am an idiot

I made a big mistake today, ok, not so big, I had one of those thoughts that you should keep to ones self and I didn’t. It involved J & D & A & Ms. A & the gnats. I was standing on the other side of J’s desk and they were talking about the gnats and J said they are attracted to food, and that they were gone now, Ms. A said they were all at her desk, J asked if she had food, she said no and I said, “Maybe you’re just attractive.” J, D and A all started laughing, trying not to laugh out loud, Ms. A got real quiet, and I just said, “I think I better go back to my cubicle and try to be good the rest of the day.” The thought was in my head and it just popped out.

Anyway, yesterday when I was walking to the park, Tigger and I were sending text messages to each other, as my text alert was going off, I heard a noise in the bushes near the road, like an animal moving around. So I looked to the side, didn’t see anything, then I looked up, and there it was, a deer, standing there and we looked at each other and before I could turn the camera on in my phone, it walked away. It was scary cool.

I am two posts away from 200.

Success! I gave Papuga food and water and still have all my fingers. I am smarter then the bird. But as M says, not as vicious. But then when I sat down here, Abigail got on the couch next to me laid on my arm and wrapped her paws around my wrist. I now believe Tigger when he says Abigail sends text messages cause she was messing up my typing and typing things herself!

>Morning

>Abigail is indeed a psycho cat. When I went to sleep she was sleeping in her basket. Then I woke up because something landed on me. It was her, only she didn’t settle down to sleep on me, she left, so what did she want, did she just want to see if I was still alive? Well anyway, then at 5 she started playing with the sewer rat. So I have been awake since then. Then Gwen called at 9:00 to make sure I was up, then asked if I fed Abigail. Huh, you think after all these years they would trust me.

I asked Tigger why they don’t think I can take care of the animals and his reply was
“we just pretend we think u cant
we have faith in u”
that was how he wrote it, I copied it exactly. I really should be getting ready for bed . Abigail is sleeping in the basket with the dirty towels. I kind of don’t like the new Verizon ad, but I love the service and their phones. I told Tigger about getting a new phone, I also asked him not to tell everyone, he said I only told Stitch and Fred, that is like telling the whole world! Well, I have to go to bed now. I will be back tomorrow.

First day house sitting

The family all left at 8:00, well a little later than that. I keep saying I am house sitting, but is that really true if it is the house I live in? I think so, since I live in the basement and I will be staying upstairs. I have to leave in a little while. I should go to the gym but I really don’t feel like it. I probably should find Butterscotch and put him downstairs. But right now I don’t know where he is. Gwen told me the cats get along, but when I brought Butterscotch upstairs, Abigail hissed at him.

He even went in her basket, I hope she doesn’t poop in it when she smells his scent in there. I have no idea, I don’t know that much about cats. When he gets in her basket, I realize he is smaller then her. She totally fills up the basket and he doesn’t.

6:37 p.m.
Well, I am still sitting here, doing nothing, it is probably too late to walk to Ron’s or the park, or to Allsport. Except Allsport is open until 8:00 so I do have time to go there. Then I can go to Wendy’s for a Bacon Cheeseburger. The junior one is only 8 or 9 points.

Stitch called me to talk to Abby. I couldn’t get the phone to her because she was sitting on the windowsill. But she wouldn’t come off it. She just looked at me like I was crazy. So he called back and left a message for her. Then Tigger and M sent me text messages. I stopped answering Tigger because he annoyed me. He hasn’t sent me anymore text messages. He sent me this picture of the place they are staying.

Just One Look by Harlan Coben

I actually read this book twice, I kind of skimmed through it, then put it aside and when I finished my library books I picked it up again and read it through, no skimming or skipping. Even knowing how it ended I still couldn’t stop reading it.

Just One Look by Harlan Coben

The Barnes & Noble Review
Photographs are a way of putting memories on paper and, like memories, they can be precious — or dangerous. For housewife Grace Lawson, the ordinary act of picking up a pack of family photos sets an extraordinary sequence of events in motion, and the danger builds momentum with every turn of the page.

Among prints of a happy family vacation is one photo that doesn’t belong — a picture taken 20 years ago of a group of strangers, including someone who looks remarkably like Grace’s husband as a young man. Before Grace can get her husband to explain, he disappears; and her search for the truth behind this glimpse of an earlier time involves digging into past secrets and tragedies that trigger a deadly series of all-too-current events. In Just One Look, award-winning suspense writer Harlan Coben has created tantalizing and terrifying interconnected mysteries. Sue Stone

And somehow, he makes it work, you think, there is no way all these different story lines and people are going to come together. The ending is “WOW” and somehow, believable.

>Buggy

>The bugs here are driving me crazy! And I have this wicked headache, I think I am going home early. I started using the daily planner I bought to journal my food, I think it will work fine but I forgot to weigh myself this morning! I am so aggravated, I remembered when I was leaving and I was not about to weigh myself completely dressed. I will have to make sure I weigh myself tomorrow. According to my points tracker I ate 19 points yesterday, that was without using my ap’s, and did I tell you I found my points calculator? It was in my backpack, I only looked in there 3 times and couldn’t find it, I found it when I was looking for my Neosporin.

Well, was that a jumble of thoughts or what? I did come home early. The headache was fading but it was bugging me and I just wanted to lie down. Of course, when I got home the boys were um, well, being themselves. So instead of getting to lie down, I played Rummikub with Gwen. I really like Stitch’s new computer and would like to get one for myself, but I want to see how it is and Stitch won’t let me. I probably shouldn’t, I have this computer, it is just it is so portable I think I could use it.

M. and family are getting ready to leave for New Hampshire tomorrow. Gwen showed me where the glove is to use when handling Papuga and how to do it. I’m am not looking forward to it. Papuga hates me. Gwen told me to put her on the floor and put a towel over her. I asked if Papuga would walk around, she grinned and said yes.

Wondering about 25 or 6 to 4

It is a time, he is staying up all night trying to write a song. Now that I have that figured out, I can go on to other important things. Like what is a terrazzo floor? I mean, I know that is the type of floor in GCT, because they have signs up saying they are fixing it, but what is it? And, does the gnat know that if he sits on the edge of my papers I can’t kill him, or does he just like the way they feel on his little bug feet? Those are the kind of things I want to know.

:-*

I saw a woman walking down the street, she was wearing head to toe pink, not just any pink, that lovely shade known as Pepto-Bismol pink (shudder). She was crossing the street next to the park, and I am serious about the head to toe, she had top and a skirt and the skirt went to her ankles, all pink. And did I tell you someone is feeding a dog at the Peekskill train station? It’s true, I saw someone doing it one day, and just this morning I saw the bowls in the gap in the fence. If I get the 6:44 home, I will take a pic for you.

I did not catch the 4:44. I don’t know why I said 6:44 this morning. I had to move my key rings, I was running out of space where they were. Right now I need to eat something and go to Allsport and get a key copied and then I will be back.

Home now and I sprayed my hair with that color stuff and it smells funny. Since this is the last day of the month it is the day I throw away my contacts and put new ones in in the morning. Tomorrow is also the day I start with my new planner for writing my food. It seems like a great idea to me. We will see if it works. Well I will be back tomorrow.

>Success

>I made it to the train today. Left the same time as yesterday, but today Stitch drove me, which means a. I didn’t have to park, b. I didn’t sit in my car for a minute when I got there. The train was in at 6:16 a.m., two minutes early. I have more to say but I can’t remember and I am at work so I can’t be on here too long.

Allergies, I hate them. I had my allergy shot last night and today I am grumpy and my arm hurts and my throat is scratchy. That did not look right but according to word it is right.

I had typed out another e-mail to send here, but it got lost in my phone. Actually, I haven’t checked my phone to see. BRB.

OK the only thing still in the phone is the subject, but not the body, weird, other body of text are there. I didn’t write down what I was thinking, so I can’t repeat it. It had to do with Tigger getting a ring tone (finally!) and that it is “How to save a life” by the Fray, he likes it because it is loud. I like my Eyore one for the same reason. I am sure there was more to it, but I can’t remember. The subject was Tigger is home, I probably wrote and he just sent me a text to say he got a ringtone!

On the way home I went to the other bathroom in GCT and I don’t like it as much. For one thing, you can’t see all the stalls so you can’t tell when one is available, the other thing is it is much LOUDER then the one I usually go to.

>I really need to get up

>when my alarm goes off the first time.

I thought I was o.k. with 12 minutes to get here but the train was early, so now I am stuck having to ride the 6:33 crowded express train, I have also had to stand here since 6:18, see I got on the platform in time to see the train leave.

Tigger sent me a text to thank me for the cinnamon, I left it in the gray cabinet with the food, next to the LaffyTaffy. The LaffyTaffy was gone, I am surprised he didn’t say anything about it. I guess he realizes that I eat it too and so I would know when it is gone. The bag of Reisen is not open, I wonder if he forgot about it. It’s not in the gray cabinet it is in my fridge.

He has taken to hugging me when I get home, not a real hug just a kind of arms around but no squeezing. Today he did it while watching T.V.

When I stopped at Target, I was just going to get cat food and toilet paper. I ended up getting the LaffyTaffy, color safe bleach, a game for my GameBoy, a hair removal device called Epi/Slim by Emjoi, popcorn, dishwashing liquid, 6″ rulers, Cottonelle moist wipes. I think that is all, it came to $86. I couldn’t find my debit card though, fortunately, I had enough cash, and after I paid, I found my card in my back pocket.

Now I am going to get some frozen calcium. I am totally addicted to Ron’s Roadrunner Raspberry. It is vanilla ice cream with raspberry swirls and little cups like Reeses cups except with raspberry inside them instead of peanut butter.

Grace, a woman who posts on a WW thread, has dissed Chicago, she said it is not the same band, I am not going to say anything back on the thread because everyone is entitled to their opinion and I do not want to start anything, but here, on my blog, my opinion rules and the girl does not know what she is talking about. Check out their website, click on their name, and you will see.

G-mail is not working

I sent two messages to myself through G-mail and neither one came through. I sent through AOL and it did. Also, the ringtones I bought online do not work, I had to buy them through my phone and so I spent a ton of money. I am not happy about that. Oh, I think it is a problem with this phone. Anyway, no one has sent me any messages today. I hope that is because they are busy with good things not games.

Soon you will be able to see my vacation photos, I am putting them in a Picasa Web Album. It took me awhile because I had to do them 5 photos at a time, but I am done. Now I have to see how to put them on this blog, either as a slide show or a link. We will see what happens!

Look to the right and you will see a slide show of my trip to visit my family. Click on the link Photo Albums and you will be able to see all my albums. My crafts, my trip to Vermont last year and my trip to Washington this year. I probably should stop before my whole life is displayed online, but it is not much of a life so I don’t really care!

It has just gotten harder to track my points. I can no longer access the points tracker at work and I can’t find my points calculator. I was using it recently but it is not in my backpack or my little canvas bag. I don’t know what to do. I will have to write everything down and put it in when I get home. That is going to be a pain.

>Last Day

>I almost didn’t make it, I was feeling very unwell this afternoon, however, since I was driving, I didn’t want to make anyone else leave early so I stuck it out. I actually started to feel better and enjoyed the last talk. I took my MP3 player every day so I could listen to the program through my earphones. I took them off this afternoon because of how my head was feeling, maybe they were causing my headaches.

Pam gave us a copy of Stone of Sisyphus and I just ripped the songs and synced them to my MP3 player. I have a bunch of songs and still have room for more. I love my MP3 player. I should plug my other one in so it charges. I will be up long enough for that. I will just have to stay on the computer so it doesn’t shut down.

Right now I have to take a break from here. I will be back later.

Oh, I feel better now, I am not so gassy and I was able to go to the bathroom normally. I just got back from putting gas in my car and should be trying to go to sleep. I will in a minute. I also just added a website to my blog. It looked interesting so I thought I would do that. I just thought of another website I should add. So go check it out if you are reading.
