>Rainy Saturday

November 15, 2008

>The kids are watching Journey to the Center of the Earth, when I asked Gwen why she said, “Because its a science fiction movie with no purpose!”, I was going to ask her to help me write my account number on my quarter rolls so I can take them to the bank today, I guess I am doing it on my own.

Em is working, she sent me a text asking me to make the rain go away. If I could, I would, was my response. Of course, my phone was off so I didn’t get the message until a little bit ago and she is probably doing something where she can’t respond or the phone ringing is an annoyance. Oh well.

My only plans for today are to go to the bank and go to Allsport. I let you know if I do anything exciting. I am going to put my quarters in my account for my I-Pod Nano. I forget how much I have, $30 or $40 I think. I’ll let you know.

>Holiday

Filed under: Uncategorized
November 11, 2008

>No work today so I turned my phone off when I went to bed. Fortunately I turned it on when I woke up this morning. Em called to let me know when she was ready to go shopping. So I got up, sewed the button on my coat, my new coat, they sewed the buttons on crappy so I had to secure it so it wouldn’t fall off.

We went to Woodbury Commons, to the Bose store, Em looked on the website and it looked like they sold I-Pods. Tigger had talked her into getting an I-Pod Nano. They didn’t. So she went to another store to get Fred new jeans. Those were the two things she was looking for.

After we left there, we went to New Jersey to get gas. I was going to post this picture so you could see how cheap the gas is where I am, but its not really where I am, this picture was taken in New Jersey. When Em saw the sign, she threw on the brakes, I never thought the van could stop that fast. But it did, and we got gas. That is another thing nice about New Jersey, it is illegal to pump your own gas, so we didn’t have to get out of the car.

Em got an I-Pod Nano, purple at Best Buy in Paramus. There is an Applebees in the same mall so we got lunch there. We were going to split this really decadent chocolate dessert there, but I couldn’t get the waiter’s attention and we decided to just leave.

After we got home we went to Allsport, this is the 3rd time in 4 days. I am just happy to be doing something, after at least 2 weeks of doing nothing. When I got home, Em went up to take a nap, I left to take Casino Royale back to the library and go to get something chocolaty and yummy! The rest of the evening I was watching TV and putting music on my new MP3 player. It is Em’s old one.

>The crud abounds.

November 9, 2008

>Almost everyone here is sick. Only myself, D, Em and Fred went to church today. When I got there (I took my own car), Em was sitting by herself. She whispered to me, “Fred got sick, D had to take him home.” I thought Fred already had this and got over it. Oh well. So I am hiding out in my room because I don’t want it either. Besides, I also have the new James Bond DVD to watch because it is due back tomorrow.

Em asked if I thought she should take some Aleve and lie down, or push herself and go work out. I suggested she should lie down, after all I want to go with her and I wanted to check out my blogs and check my e-mail etc and etc.

So now I am doing that, then I will work out, and then dye my hair, then I don’t know what, since I take my contacts out when I dye my hair, I am not going to want to go anywhere. Maybe then I will watch my movie.

I decided to take the list of types of books in the challenge and compare them to my list of TBR books. That will help me decide which books to read for the challenge.

>Sunday afternoon

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 26, 2008

>Just a quick hello, I am off to the gym and don’t want to miss Em, like I usually do when I dawdle when we take separate cars cause we each have something to do. I am leaving my computer open because my WW post hasn’t posted yet. I will be back after gym and getting a coffee or some food or something.

Weighed myself this morning and I was 137.6, that is not too bad considering how off program I have been lately.

So I actually feel like I did something today. I got to Allsport and exercised and showered. Then I went to Borders and didn’t buy anything, not even a snack. I did stop at Taco Bell first though. Then I went to Target to get some cards and an envelope to mail that stamp I found to Cookie. I hope she likes it. I also got a card for Don and Sally, a little late, so I got a blank card with a pretty picture on it so I can just say, I am sorry I was a dork and didn’t send you a sympathy card, but here is a card to let you know I am thinking of you. Think they will like it? The other card has four vases with flowers in them, I bought it because it was pretty and the envelope is lavender. I got the card written to Cookie and the envelope address. I will do Don and Sally’s later. I really want to get to bed early tonight.

Also today I rubbed the leather lotion all over my coat. Now tomorrow night I have to show Gwen how to do it. She wanted me to do it and I said, “You are an adult, you can take care of your own clothes.” So now she expects me to show her how to do it.

Now it is time to check my other blogs (that I follow) and my e-mail and maybe go to bed.

>Training Today blech

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 23, 2008

>We had training today and it was blech, except for the desire to strangle Dilip whenever he opened his mouth. I was trying to listen to the instructor and he just wouldn’t shut up! I resisted of course cause I am here and not in custody. But soon I need to leave, actually, I should have already left. I just wanted to get this sent.

I have taken another step toward my move, I got a cell phone with the area code of where I am moving. I took my old phone and got some minutes on it and when you go online, you can get the area code of where you will be using the phone, so that’s what I did. I gave Em the number and she has been sending me text messages to the new number today because I was not at my computer all day.

Well, it is past time for me to be on my way. I am planning on working out tonight so I will be back when I am done. Oh one more thing, I finished The Scandal of the Season, it was O.K., just not my cuppa. The library sent me an e-mail that Dewey by Vicki Myron was in so I am going to stop to pick it up on my way home. It is not next on my list to read, next I am reading Double Bind, I have to read them quick so I can return them on time. I also just requested Casino Royale from the library because Sarah was talking about James Bond on her blog, so now I feel compelled to check out Daniel Craig as Bond.

I ended up not going to Allsport, I know I should have, but my throat is all filled up with crud and I just couldn’t work up the energy to. Tigger wanted some Spree, which I told him I would go out and get when I went to Allsport, since I didn’t go I had to think of something else. I went instead to get gas and it was $2.99 a gallon! I was so excited, I never thought that I would think of $2.99 for a gallon of gas a cheap price!

We got e-mails for our training in Lake Placid so I put the address of the hotel in my GPS tonight. Now I have to make sure to remember to check the car I get to be sure the cigarette lighter works.

>Late post

October 16, 2008

>Today has been one of those days. I kind of just wandered around and bugged people. It was National Boss Day, so I made sure to let people know that. I got a card and flowers, then I ended up giving the flowers to a co-worker because although I am no longer in a homicidal rage, I am still miffed. It didn’t help that he brought it up again today. Dude, just give it a rest.

Got some work done, went to lunch with some people, to a restaurant I won’t go to again. Ugh.

After work I stopped at the library to pay my fine and check out Double Bind and to see where on the list I am for Dewey. I am number 3. Then after I got home, I went to Allsport, Borders and Target. I almost bought a book I shouldn’t have at Borders, I resisted but I still want to get it. I got a black purse like my tan purse for winter, and I got a green tote bag that is a better size for taking my book to work.

I got a couple more songs by Coldplay, now Tigger wants me to send them to him. So I am off to do that.

>All I wanna do

October 14, 2008

>I had a cheryl crow earworm this morning. That’s what happens when I read random G.D.T. threads in the morning. I was up way to late last night and I didn’t even get anything done. Tigger has the baby assignment, kind of funny his partner is a boy. Em says, “Tigger and KM adopted twins.” two each two pound bags of rice.

I changed my purse and I forgot to put my ID in the purse I brought today. I feel bad cause I like this purse better then the expensive EB one I bought. I just need to get the black one for winter.

Stitch has my car today, normally he doesn’t so I don’t know what is going to happen tonight, if I will have to get Gwen or if I can go to Allsport. I feel like I haven’t been in forever and really need to go.

My sniffles have morphed into a real cold and I am getting a head pressure feeling. I really should go now. I think I have said everything I need to say.

I finished reading Hell Bent by William G. Tapply and have posted a review on Shelfari and LibraryThing. You can click here to go to my review on LibraryThing. I do not want to post it here since it is a fairly long review but I enjoyed the book. I don’t feel like running out and getting more Brady Coyne Novels, but it was an enjoyable read.

>I have a question for you.

October 13, 2008

>Today is a holiday for school children and civil service employees (ME!). Tigger was wearing the same dirty shirt and shorts he had on yesterday. When I commented about them he said, “So, I’m not going anywhere.” Now I have been known to wear clothes more than once, but only if they didn’t get dirty. These clothes he had on were filthy! He’s not a little kid, he’s a junior in High School! Is this normal? I don’t remember being like that when I was in school, then again I am a girl, (always have been too!) so maybe that is why.

Time to go to Allsport, I have my workout clothes on and just have to check things out upstairs before I go. I am taking my camera because I want to take some pictures of leaves while I am out and about.

Still haven’t gone yet. Em wanted to go at 4:00 so I am waiting for her. I did go to get some leaf pictures but where I went there were plenty of leaves, but no place to pull over. There is still the tree by the vet’s office. I may make a quick trip there.

Gwen took pictures of the things she wants to sell so I have to post them tonight along with the dolls, that I keep putting off. Well I’m off, again!

>I am sitting here in the cold under my blankets while typing this. I am a silly girl, ’cause if I just stood up I could close my window and I wouldn’t be so cold. However I would rather just sit here and try to warm up with a blanket and warm laptop on my lap! I don’t think that is what the laptop computer was designed for.

Tigger was sending me texts, except they were blank. I answered and asked why, no answer just another blank text. So I finally said, “You’re texts are all blank.” I’m not answering any more, I got another blank text then a “Sry about that”. He must have had it in is pocket instead of the holder and the send button kept getting pushed or something like that.

There is an update for my phone that I need to get installed but I forgot to go to Verizon yesterday and get it done. I will try to remember to do that today. I ordered a book from the library but I don’t think it is in yet. I need to go there too to pay my fine so I will ask them about it.

Right now I need to sweep and mop, except it is almost time to get ready for church. Don’t want to be late again. I will be back later.

I didn’t make it to the library, I did get to Verizon but they couldn’t install the update so I am getting a new phone. I am trying to talk myself into going to Allsport. It should be easy since the alternative is sitting here listening to D yell at the kids while he is building the shed. I guess T never showed up to help. I get really annoyed at people who say they will do something then just don’t show up. Well, it’s not really my business. I really feel like going to Border’s after I work out. I really shouldn’t ’cause I don’t need books and I should be saving my money. Gwen yelled at Tigger this morning for asking me for cinnamon gum. Told him not to ask me for things, I have to save my money for my move.

Pictures from homecoming

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 4, 2008

I picked these four photos to post. I was trying to post on WW about them and two times I got an error message. Now the page just won’t load. I am going to have some dinner then I will be back.

This first photo is the bleachers in the football field. Of course this field is used for more than just football, there is a track around the field. A few years back the Empire State Games were held here. The kids were able to volunteer for support services for them so that was a good experience for them.

Somebody brought their cute little long haired dachshund to the parade. I don’t know if it is a boy or girl, but the curly hair on the ears make me think its a girl. She looks like she is waiting for someone. She was very well behaved, didn’t jump around or bark or pull on her leash. Another reason I think she is a girl. She was so cute I just had to take her picture.

Here is the marching band, they are having to wait for traffic to clear, this is where Verplanck Ave, Cannon St., and N Cedar St. meet before you get to the football field. It used to be the police would put a car at N. Walnut and Verplanck to block traffic, but the past few years they haven’t done that. This year a big truck parked facing the wrong way on Verplanck so the band and rest of the parade could get into the football field.

And who is this? Could this be who Ms. Dachshund is waiting for? This is definitely a boy and you can tell by his blue shirt that he is a BEACON BULLDOG!

Now if you want to see all the pictures I took, there are not that many of them, look at the sidebar to the right, I put in a slideshow, next week I will move it down below the Manhattan one.
