>I am not doing so well

>this month. I think I have missed two days. I have made up for it on other days, but it bothers me.

The reason I missed yesterday was because I got involved in an online game. Yes I know I probably shouldn’t, but it has turned out to be rather fun and I am making cyber friends. One has been there a while and is taking me all around and showing me new fun things. Right now they are having a problem with log-ins or I would probably be there instead of here.

Today Tigger and I went to the city. He begged me. He also begged me for the change from the train ticket (I gave it to him) and some new cologne (I bought it for him). I haven’t checked my bank account to see if I will be all right. I am not worrying about it right now. I also got some make-up for me. I bought it at Saks, since Saks is on the way and makeup is the same price whereever you get it (at least the kind I wear is), then Tigger wanted to look at mens clothes. He made the mistake of looking at the prices. It became kind of a game as we looked for more and more expensive items. He found a leather coat that was $2000. We didn’t find anything more expensive then that until we were leaving, I saw a handbag that was $3000. A very ugly handbag.

Then we did our usual walk around Central Park, went to the Apple store, stopped at every Verizon store we came to, dinner at Annie Moore’s, came home.

>No church today.

>Canceled, probably because of the snow. I don’t know for a fact because I have not been upstairs yet.

Last night when I plugged in my I-pod to add the song Tigger bought, I-tunes said it had an update, so I downloaded it, then the computer said it need to restart so I said O.K., well the computer froze on the restart. I had to unplug the laptop and wait for it to shutdown, I turned it back on so and it was still frozen! So I unplugged it again, it turned off, I waited an hour, still frozen. So I unplugged it and left it over night. As you can see, it is working now but when I woke up this morning I was a little unsure about turning it on, when I did, I got the frozen screen said Oh No, then it went off and the computer finished the start up. I should remember from now on, to shut down the computer, this has happened before.

So now I am just sitting here blogging and listening to the radio, I just combined Tigger’s station with mine. OK, I don’t really like this song, but its not horrible. I clicked ‘I don’t like this song’ once before and I got this cute message, “We’re sorry! We’ll never play it again.”

Anyway, I forgot to check back in with Weight Watchers message boards so I need to do that now.

>Saturday Saga

>Book study was canceled this morning. I stayed up late working on my blogs, which are now complete, new blogs made, old blog post exported in and all my widgets in place. Anyway, I slept in this morning, till Tigger came and knocked on my door. Well, I was awake, just not up. Em wanted to borrow my train, no that’s not correct, she wanted to use my tickets so she and D could go down to the city, he’s back from his business trip. They didn’t go, they decided Harold Square would be too crowded.

I went to the bathroom, like I do every morning, and I felt water dripping, I thought it was the sink, then I realized the toilet was overflowing(ew ew ew!), so I grabbed my plunger and started plunging and it fell apart, literally, after the water went down there was a big piece of it in the toilet. I went upstairs to get dirty towels to soak up the water, Tigger had to come down to help me because I didn’t have my contacts in and couldn’t see where the water was. He came down to help which including carefully stepping in the bathroom to grab my glasses for me, the pair that is normally in my bedroom was not there. We got the water mopped up and I then mopped the floor with my lavender floor cleaning stuff and put the towels in the washer.

I knew I had to get a plunger, I really didn’t want to go out by myself so I asked Tigger if he wanted to go to the Verizon Store so he went with me. I left him at the Verizon store to get a fat free latte and cookie, then we went to Home Depot. We found a shovel that expands that will fit in the hatch of my car and looked at ice scrappers (didn’t like any of them) then went looking for plungers. There was one aisle that was closed for ‘safety reasons’ and guess what down that aisle? Yes the plungers, so we walked down the aisle and asked if we could get the plungers and the man said yes (I was glad, he was scary looking!) then as I was getting one, Tigger said, “You don’t have to get the cheapest one.” It was $2.98 plus tax, and they only had one kind. Then when we went to leave, the man had pulled the adult baby gate (seriously! it looked like a baby gate only adult sized) closed so we couldn’t get out(He did let us out). Tigger said, “He locked us in, and he is scary looking!”

Then we went to Lowe’s to see if I could get an ice scrapper there. The traffic was unbelievable. Tigger waited in the car. They didn’t have exactly the scraper I wanted, but I got this really cool snow brush with a scrapper, it is really long and I will be able to clean the top of my car off with it. I did get a scrapper, it looks like it will do the job. Then we came home. But that’s not the end of my ‘Saturday Saga’.

When I came in my bedroom and turned on the light, it burned out. So I had to go upstairs to get a light bulb and turn replace the bulb. Then I went to flush the toilet and plunge it out, as I was plunging, the bowl on the plunger turned inside out, so now I had a stick with a bowler hat on it. I turned it right side out and finished the job, then I turned it back inside out and asked to Tigger to come downstairs, when he did, I stuck my head out of the bathroom and said, “Maybe you were right.” He said what and I showed him the stick with a bowler hat and said, “I shouldn’t have got the cheapest one.” I can’t describe his face, but he got a laugh out of it.

Anyway, now I am hungry, so I am going to go eat something.

>new blog

>I hope I remembered the address correctly. I went into work today. Since I was up so late I overslept. Then I left early because it was snowing like crazy and Em said it was getting bad. I asked Tigger but I haven’t read his answer cause it came while I was doing this. After I finish transferring all my widgets I am going to start a new book blog and do the same with it. Gotta go now. I am on the train and I can’t see the river.

Here is the new blog. I know it looks just like the old one, but if you look at the blog archive, you will see that the posts go back to 2006. That was when I started my very first blog. Now I have all my posts in one place. I do not expect anyone to go back and read all my previous post. I’m not even going to do that. I just wanted them all together.

>but I need my sleep. I am hoping we will get all the snow we were promised, then I don’t have to go to work. I will finish up this transfer tomorrow, then put a post that people need to re-follow the new blog, then I am going to transfer, gulp, my book blog!

>over to my new e-mail address. I can export and import. So all my old blogs are now going to be one huge blog. Without adding this blog, I have over 300 posts. I wonder if there is a limit to how many posts you can have in a blog. I guess I will find out.

Anyway, when you export and import, it takes the blog posts and comments, including tags. I think that is just way cool.

>New bank account

>I decided to open a new checking account. I was planning on starting my savings account with this bank in the new year, you know, the one for my move. So I just to start earlier. Besides I just got an overdraft due to partially my own stupidity and partially the banks way of posting transactions. Anyway, I just got tired of it so I went and opened a new account. Now begins the process of changing things around. I already changed Amazon, I have to wait for my card to change some other things.

The box of books (well it wasn’t a box actually, it was a package no matter) has finally found it’s way to my bed where they are lying all scattered about. I put them in Shelfari and LibraryThing and put them in a post to be published on Monday for Mailbox Monday. Now I just have to find a place to put them until it is time to read them.

Tigger downloaded some episodes of Law & Order: C.I. for me. I have the 16GB I-Pod and so the whole season fits. What fun! I tried to find a nice picture to post here but couldn’t. I had to tell Em and she told me to shut up!

😛 to her.

>Sunday almost gone

>And I almost forgot to post. And I didn’t blog about yesterday and never wrote my review for Helter Skelter, and Tigger took the book so I don’t have it to refer to. Well I do want to post this one picture I took yesterday. All the pictures I took yesterday are in a new slide-show on the sidebar. We went there on Saturday and today is the anniversary. Then I am going to bed.

>Good morning

>Saturday morning and I should be up and getting dressed, but I stayed up late last night playing on here and finishing Helter Skelter. I didn’t have time to write my review. I will have to do that after we get home from the city.

Em and I are taking Stitch and Fred this time. It should be interesting since it is cold and Stitch is a whiner. The whole day has been carefully planned out this time.

There was something else I was going to say and it has ‘poof’ disappeared. But I really have to go.

>First Day

>of the last month of 2008.

I think I am allergic to lamb. We had lamb chops last night, and I didn’t like them. OK that’s fine, but I got a really bad stomach ache from them, not a normal stomach ache a hurting needles in the stomach, stomach pain. Since I am allergic to wool, I guess it isn’t too much of a stretch to be allergic to the meat of the animal too.

Last night I was bored and so I went to Barnes & Noble, fatal mistake. Fatal to my budget that is! I bought three books. Two were on my list so that is ok, the other one, well, it was interesting looking. For the titles, check out my blog: Bella is reading.

Em sent me a text to tell me there was a bomb scare/threat at the H.S. and the MTA puppies were there. Nice puppies! Big teeth. I asked her if they bit anybody and she said no, they just sniffed the lockers while everyone waited outside. Dogs have the best jobs. I bought the oil for her friend and sent her a picture of the bottle. This is what my day consists of!

Cookie sent me an e-mail saying she likes drivel, keeps her mind off sad thoughts. I should have told her, if you want drivel, read my blog!
