>i love my crocs

>I used that opening so people who do not like them will know to just skip the post today. I was thinking about the subject having read an old post of Brit’ Gal and I am wearing my Cyprus crocs at work, which I am not loving cause the straps have worn a sore spot on the top of my foot.

Anyway, if you have been reading you know I got a pair of fleece lined crocs, or fuzzy inside crocs, last Saturday. I have been wearing them for slippers in the house.

Today the lazy worthless college student (usually referred to as Stitch but today he is LWCS) was taking me to the train station so he could use my car and didn’t go out to start it like I have asked him to many times, so I threw on my coat and ran out in the single digit temps and snow to start it. I was wearing the crocs and my feet did not get cold.

Now this afternoon I have to go to Brooklyn because the Clueless College Student (also know as Gwen but today, yeah you get the idea) doesn’t know that when I offer to do something for her that involves walking through Brooklyn in the freezing cold wearing a skirt, I don’t really mean it. But since she accepted instead of saying, “Oh no I don’t want you to freeze your knees off and catch pneumonia” now I have to do it.

>Was back to the normal crowds and was not as bad as Friday’s. First I didn’t miss my train. Second nothing broke. However it wasn’t smooth as silk, not that it ever is that nice, but we normally don’t have to change trains and this morning we did.

Of course when the conductor said we had to change equipment in Croton I didn’t really know what that meant so I asked the guy sitting with me, who looked like he would know if that meant we were getting off this train. Yes, thats what it means. Since we were back to normal, it meant all the seats were taken by the people who normally crowd on in Croton.

Going down,

139.2 this morning. YAY! Keep going down.

As we were waiting for the train to leave, this man, who was sitting on the other side, had his cell phone glued to his ear. The announcement came over the P.A. system, ‘This is the express train to Poughkeepsie making stops at . . .’, all of a sudden this man shouts, ‘What? This train doesn’t stop at Croton?’ He jumps up grabs his bag and leaves. It was so sudden and unexpected we laughed.

OK, trying again. My jewelry came, and I had to listen to the no personal mail speech, because I believe in, it’s easier to be forgiven then get permission. I promise to never do it again, or at least until Zales has another clearance sale.

So I had a pretty productive day, I went to work, I came home, hung my clothes out that I put in the laundry this morning, yes, this morning! Put another load in, the last load of M’s. Then I went to the meeting, was almost on time. Came home, called my mom back, she has called twice. Cleaned both cat boxes, pulled the dehumidifier out from D’s workroom and plugged it in. Oh and I fought off Abigail. I also gave Papuga a piece of pineapple, I am trying the bribery route. She is funny, she took the pineapple, then dropped it, then gave me this look like ‘oops’

My new phone has over 100 text messages in it. I am not deleting until I find out how many it will hold. Well, I have to go now. This is post #200.

Yesterday

the train let us off on the old platform. I don’t know why, track work probably. This is the second time this has happened, the other time I was able to sneak up on Stitch. The way M parks when she is waiting, she saw me coming. I also do not know why I didn’t write about this yesterday. Maybe because I was upset about Stitch not returning my car until late.

Today Stitch came to get me, he was a little late and it was raining. Oh well. Tomorrow and Thursday he will not have my car. Friday we go to Newburgh. I am going to the hair place tomorrow to see how much it will be to get my roots touched up.

Tigger came downstairs and as I was going in my room he mentioned that ‘we’ need more Reisen. We do huh? I went to Allsport. I was hoping I could be quick enough to get to Staples before they closed but I didn’t. So I went to Target. I bought that purse I was looking at and it just fits my stuff. Not the perfect purse of course, but close. Then I got some re-writable CDs and a case to put my CDs in, about time, considering Sassy was the one that broke my old one. I also got “honking” big bag of LaffyTaffy and a bag of Reisen. I don’t remember if that is the correct spelling right now I don’t care. I sent Tigger a text that I was at Target, I told him I got CDs and a case to put them in. He said why? I could almost see him thinking, we get downloads from Amazon cheaper, why would she buy CDs? Then I explained they were blank so I could put music on them for my car. I didn’t mention the candy. He didn’t ask, so I had to tell him I got two bags. Then when I was opening the bag to put them in the container, it broke and I ended up with LaffyTaffy all over my floor. As I was scooping them up, all I could smell was the fruitiness of them.

Now I really need to get to bed, I have brushed my teeth, washed my face, taken out my contacts, taken my medicine, I didn’t clean Butterscotch’s litter box. I will do that tomorrow. Since the rain cooled things down, it doesn’t smell so bad tonight. I have some Pepsi points to enter then I will go to bed.

Back again

So here I am again blogging when I should be working. I’ll work in a minute. The weather has been crazy, I went from sweat jacket under my coat to just a sweat jacket then just long sleeve top, yesterday & today it has been leather coat again! I mean, there was frost on the windshield yesterday & today. I actually started my car early to give it some time to warm up. Add to that I left my Yankees ball cap on the train and to replace it will cost about 25 dollars. Yes that is because I won’t go cheap, I want the same style. Ok, should do some work now.

I started Elephants Can Remember. It is quite a switch from Alan Banks to Hercule Poirot. I will post a review on Booktalk tomorrow. I will have to e-mail it to myself.

I am off to watch Murder One.

Black Friday

November 23, 2007

No I did not go shopping today. I did a little online while at work SHHHH don’t tell Albany. I didn’t actually order anything I just put them in my shopping cart. My parts for my CD player should be here sometime next week. That means next Saturday I can get my CD player.

There were a couple of men on the train this afternoon with girls. At first I thought they must have brought their daughters to work with them so their wives could go shopping without them. Then I thought, maybe they are divorced and this is their weekend for their visit and they had to bring their daughters with them to work because they had to work and etc. My mind works in strange mysterious ways.

M and I went to the gym tonight. I need to shower before bed. Right now I am missing Women’s Murder Club but I really want to type this before I forget. I have already forgotten some of what I was going to say.

My weight was up this morning, I didn’t drink enough water yesterday. I think I will drink a bunch before bed so hopefully I will be down in the morning.

I remembered what else I was going to say. I cleaned the fridge at work and was totally grossed out. There was food with mold and food that just looked icky. So I threw it all out. Bob thanked me for doing it. No one that I told I was doing it thought it was bad they all said it was something that had to be done.
