>I mentioned on Facebook that I had completely forgotten something I wanted to write. Of course as soon as I shut down my computer I remembered. Then I decided it would a better blog post then Facebook update.

The contacts I am referring to above are the kind you put in your eyes. I have done some pretty dumb things with mine. Once I fell asleep with them in all night. I was mad the next day ’cause then I had to wear my glasses all day. The most common thing I do is rub my eyes. This moves the contact around in my eye and wrinkles up the contact and can damage them.

Last night I did something beyond that, I started to take my eye makeup off without first taking out my contacts. I realized what I had done when my eye started burning. I washed my hand but I couldn’t get the contact out. I took the other one out. I couldn’t see the contact in my eye, but I also couldn’t find it on my clothes or on the floor so I was pretty sure it was still in my eye, I did eventually find it folded up in the corner of my eye.

Moral of the story, make sure you take out your contacts first!

Fourth hole is not fun

Filed under: Beauty — 1 Comment
September 6, 2009

Yesterday Em and I went to the city. Like I mentioned we went to Marie Tash, cause I decided to get a fourth hole in my ears. So for those of you who are keeping track, there are some of you keeping track right? I now have 9 holes. 4 in each ear and one in my belly. I saw a butterfly that I might get to replace the opal, but I am thinking of getting a different kind of butterfly. If I do, I will let you know. Anyway, Em ordered some jewelry for herself too. Hee, anyway. About a hour after, I was wondering why I ever wanted fourth hole, (truth be told, I am STILL wondering) especially when I put my ear buds in Owie! So I have been taking Aleve so I can sleep. My right ear is fine it is just my left ear that hurts all the way to the top. I think it is because of the deformity in that ear, NO, I am not taking pictures of it! I will take pictures of the other ear with the 4 earrings in it, when the swelling goes down and I get that cute little tripod Gwen and I saw at BestBuy.

Last year Labor Day Weekend was the first trip Em and I made to Manhattan, there was a hurricane that trip and we got soaked. We had nice weather this time. That time we went to Tavern on the Green and I took pictures and posted them here. This trip we went to The Russian Tea Room. That’s two fantasies down, now if I could only get a meeting with Derek!

This time, I took the pictures and made a collage. Since I now know how to do that. The pictures are also on Facebook and in my slideshow in the right sidebar.

Life observations

Filed under: Uncategorized — 1 Comment
August 28, 2009
  • More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
  • Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
  • Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you’re going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you’re crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
  • I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
  • The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.
  • Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the “people you may know” feature on facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
  • Do you remember when you were a kid; playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in the world did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or faq’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.
  • There is a great need for a sarcasm font.
  • Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
  • I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I’m still the only one who really, really gets it.
  • How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
  • I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
  • The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
  • Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”
  • I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
  • Whenever someone says “I’m not book smart, but I’m street smart”, all I hear is “I’m not real smart, but I’m imaginary smart”.
  • How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
  • I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
  • Everytime I have to spell a word over the phone using ‘as in’ examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss’s last name to an attorney and said “Yes that’s G as in…(10 second lapse)..ummm…Goonies”
  • What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
  • While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.
  • Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
  • I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
  • I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
  • Bad decisions make good stories.
  • Whenever I’m Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB-gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don’t mind if I do!
  • Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
  • Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I’m from, this shouldn’t be a problem….
  • You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
  • There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
  • I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
  • “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.
  • I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There’s so much pressure. ‘I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren’t watching this. It’s only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?’
  • I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?
  • I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
  • I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my itunes.
  • Why is a school zone 40kph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…
  • As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
  • Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
  • I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
  • The other night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There’s nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.
  • Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time…
  • I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
  • I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

BITCHOLOGY

Filed under: Uncategorized
August 18, 2009

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,
they call me a
bitch..

When I stand up for those I love,
they call me a
bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way,
they call me a
bitch.

Being a bitch
means I won’t compromise what’s in my heart.
It means I live my life MY way.
It means I won’t allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am
defined as a
bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for
myself instead of being everyone’s maid, or when I act a little selfish.

It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won’t become anyone else’s idea of what they think I ‘should’ be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, just try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won’t succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

B ~ Babe
I ~ In
T ~ Total
C ~ Control of
H ~ Herself

B ~ Beautiful
I ~ Intelligent
T ~ Talented
C ~ Charming
H ~ Hell of a Woman

B ~ Beautiful
I ~ Individual
T ~ That
C ~ Can
H ~ Handle ‘anything’

>Saturday

Filed under: Beauty, Manhattan, Miscellanea
August 16, 2009

>Yes, Em and I went to the city Saturday. But to understand what happened, I have to take you back to Friday night. Friday I went to get my nails done. Em asked me to find out when her appointment was on Saturday. After I asked, Esther asked if I was coming too, when I said yes, she asked if I was going to get a pedicure, I said, Maybe. The owner came back to the table next to us and Esther told her I was going to get a pedicure when Em came in for her manicure! I was just kind of, well I didn’t really say that, **sigh**. When I told Em, she just kind of laughed and said, “It is so hard to say no to them.”

I wore my new sandals Saturday, it was ok, I have kind of broken them in. When they asked me to pick a color, I tried to pick a color as close to the color of the shoes as possible. I know they don’t look the same, I think it is because the nails are shiny and the sandals aren’t. We left the nail salon and headed down Broadway to Marie Tash so Em could see about the ring she is wanting to get. I also needed to get my piercing checked. We were early so on the way we stopped at the Strand. To get out of the heat and kill some time. Of course I asked about the True Crime section, which I was told is in the Basement. Of course. Well with 18 miles of book shelves, some had to go to the basement didn’t they? So I went downstairs and started looking, couldn’t find them, couldn’t find any signs for them either. Finally I asked someone and he took me way back into this corner and there tucked between ‘Journalism’ and ‘Law Inforcement’, was True Crime. It was actually a decent sized selection. Of course, I never remember the authors of the books I want so I was having to read the titles of all the books, I found Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by Mark Olshaker (Author) and John E. Douglas for $7.00, hardbound, originally $25.00, so I bought it. About the time that I found it, Em sent me a text saying she was ready to leave.

We continued on to Maria Tash and got there just as they were opening. Em talked to the sales person about what she wanted. She didn’t have anything done then but now knows when to come back for what she wants. I had them check my piercings, which they said look like they are heeling like they should. I asked about the bleeding, they weren’t concerned. I also asked about a 4th hole in my ear. I am not getting that until all the piercings in both ears are completely healed. Even if it takes months.

Em suggested taking the subway to Central Park, yes I know, she is starting to scare me. We had lunch at AQ Kafé, I had Chicken salad, you know a salad with grilled chicken on it. It was fabulous. The place is definitely on our list of places to eat in the city. They also have a bakery there, that we looked at briefly, then quickly ran away. We went in the mall in Columbus Circle. The one with the huge naked couple. I mentioned to Em, that for a woman that size, her boobs are awfully small, and for a man that big his, um, well I’m sure you get the idea, she did! I got a skirt at Esprit (?), then we went to the park.

Then after the park we stopped at Talbots where Em found a dress on sale, then Annie Moore’s, she got chicken for Fred, then home. As soon as we got home, Tigger tried to take my book.

More about Blogger and the Yankees

Filed under: Uncategorized
August 12, 2009

It is weird but I can post on this blog, but not my book blog. I hope the problem is fixed by Friday, that is when I have to do the drawing for one of my giveaways. Every time I try to do something on that blog or go to my dashboard, I get an error message.

Yesterday we(by me I mean Em, D, Fred and I) went to the Yankees vs. Blue Jays game. D and Fred sat together, Em and I sat together (we got the tickets separately so we weren’t all sitting together, plus D had a problem with the tickets he bought) I took this photo with my phone, I don’t know why, since I had my camera with me(No matter, now I have a new wallpaper for my phone). The Yankees scored early, then the Jays got one ahead. Then nothing till the 8th inning. Em and I both thought Joba Chamberlain was not all we had heard him to be and were less then impressed with Hideki Matsui, so much so that when he came up to bat I went on Facebook and was about to type, ‘I am less then impressed with Hideki Matsui’ when the crowd makes the sound it makes when something is happening and I looked up to see the ball making a perfect arc into the stands. I almost dropped my phone, the guy across the aisle was high-fiving people and I think he injured my wrist. Then Jorge Posada was up, and he hit a home run too! Then they said the play was under review. The crowd booed. The umps decided it was a home run after all. Then the Yankees scored another run. It was Yankees 7, Blue Jays 5, the Yankees sent in Mariano Rivera and they won the ball game. It was also announced that it was Melky Cabrera 25th birthday. So our men (Derek and Mark) didn’t hit any home runs, but Derek scored the first run of the game and they got a lot of Blue Jays out. Since Joba wasn’t striking them out.

>Facebook is the DEVIL!!!

Filed under: Miscellanea
August 2, 2009

>O.K. Not really. But whenever I come on my computer with every intention of blogging and getting everyone caught up on my life or writing a review(that I promised someone, that I am now behind on), I go to check my Facebook account. Then 3 hours later, I am too tired to do anything else. It is not really Facebook’s fault, I need more hours in the day. It’s the sun’s fault!

I promised you a post on Pershing Square, however before I do that I have to tell you about the hair. It started with the hair, blond hair on the sidewalk in front of our house(probably, I mean I certainly hope so, a wig), then it was on the street in front of our house. Now it is in the street but down at the corner, it is starting to look really sad. For those of you who are thinking, “Why all this fuss?” or “Why doesn’t she just go pick it up and toss it in the trash?”, I will tell you a little secret. Hair creeps me out. Yes really, when I take my blankets out of the dryer and my hair is all tied up in little clumps and falls out, it looks like a bug or spider and I jump, then I realize it is just my hair that came out and was in my blankets and I get all creeped out.

So why is Pershing Square the best place to have breakfast? Is it because they seat you really fast? no, but they do. Is it because the food comes out really fast? no, but it does. Is it because my order(so far) is always right? no, but it has been. Is it because the food is really good and cooked exactly to order? no, but it is(except today, they didn’t burn my bacon which I asked them too but the chef probably thought that was illegal). Is it because the busboys run around clearing tables super fast and never break a dish? no, but I have never heard a dish break and they are super fast. Is it because I’ve seen the wait staff running with food and never drop even a piece of potato? no, but I have. Is it because the food is super cheap? No, hey its in Manhattan across from GCT, its not cheap. Pershing Square is the best place to have breakfast in NYC because of all those things. It is worth the price.

>Today

Filed under: Uncategorized
May 2, 2009

>Sorry to put a post so close to the other one, but that post was for yesterday and this post is for today. First off we had to go to Newburgh for the Special Assembly Day, so I had to pack my lunch and I was running around like I usually do. I put my lunch in my insulated bag and put the blue ice thing in it. I went in my bedroom to put my eye makeup on and as I was putting the mascara back into the bag, I noticed something blue all over my hands! My ice pack thingy had a hole in it. Fortunately I didn’t get it all over, just all over hands which were then dyed blue. That stuff does not wash off at least not right away.

Last night I joined the forum the boys are on all the time. Tigger kept insisting. Today after we got home, I checked my e-mail and Red-Lady had invited to join Facebook. Stitch is on, I didn’t tell him I know. So I joined Facebook. I just put a bunch of the pictures from Manhattan on it but I couldn’t get to all of them on my computer. My name there is Bella Foxx, or you could just scroll down to the button and click on it.

I started this post, then I fell asleep. I was going to go to bed, but after I washed my face, took out my contacts and sneaked upstairs to get a snack (I got grapes, not what I wanted, I wanted Star Trek cereal) I felt more awake and got my computer back out to finish this. Now I am dead tired and going to bed.
