>Not much going on

Filed under: Miscellanea
November 29, 2009

>today, just cleaning. Yesterday was a total bust, Tigger bailed on me going to the city. He insisted all day that he was too sick to go. Bah!

The fight is still going on. I keep saying he just didn’t want to go with me ’cause I said we weren’t going to do any shopping. He insists that he would have been perfectly happy just taking pictures.

This morning Gwen and I were talking about blogs, she hasn’t done much on her’s lately, she wants me to help her, by telling her what she should write about! I can’t do that, its her blog. Anyway, then Tigger decided he wanted to make his own blog, Stitch suggested the title Ramblings of a nutcase which of course he liked and is using. Then after saying he probably wouldn’t post anything beyond the first post, he has posted 3 of his stories. Gwen of course went on her blog The continuing journey of the Voyager Princess to tell everyone about it. Then I posted my own little comment.

If you have a moment, you should really check them out.

Happy Blogoversary to me

Filed under: Uncategorized — 1 Comment
November 27, 2009

Today is my Blogoversary and as promised, there is cake.

I started blogging 3 years ago today. I can’t really say I started this blog 3 years ago since it had a different name and sign in and everything. After a while things got too complicated so I started a new blog. Then I tried to make my blog 3 columns and ended up not being able to post new entries. So I started this blog and discovered that I could import my posts from the other blogs. So I did that and this blog has all my posts from the very beginning.

I also decided that I needed a separate blog for my book reviews (since people were sending me books for review, except I haven’t done any in a while, I am getting back to it though, now that November is almost gone) and for my crafts, except I haven’t done any in a while. Something else to get back to.

Anyway, its been a fun ride and a learning experience and I couldn’t have done it without you. So thanks to all my readers, there will be more fun to come, I have lots more to say!

Blogoversary and new picture

Filed under: Beauty
November 25, 2009

2 days until my blogoversary. I was going to have a contest and giveaway, but I lost track of time, November has never been a good month for me so I didn’t do anything. I might be able to have cake though, …

On another subject, I was thinking how I still had the same picture on Facebook, so I changed it to this picture. I kind of got this by accident, I just held up my cell phone and snapped it. The angle and composition turned out really nice, I like it. After putting it in my Facebook profile and Twitter, I decided it was time to change the picture on my blog too. So here it is, don’t know how long it will stay.

You can see my new lipstick that I tried to get a picture of before.

>Just hanging around

>Not much going on. I had a doctor’s appointment. My dermatologist so I left work early, got a sandwich at the deli and ate it in Central Park.
These are new, bleachers set up around Columbus Circle. I didn’t ask anyone, but I am assuming they are for the Macy’s 83rd Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade since this website says the parade comes past here.

While I was at Columbus Circle I also took this photo. Trees already decorated for Christmas, well I posted a picture in a previous post. I took that picture with my cell phone which is not designed for night pictures. Saturday I am coming back with my camera, see if the “night” feature works. Tigger is coming with me.

Also the Christmas fair has started at Bryant Park.Em and I ate at this restaurant, and I blogged about it here.

That’s about it.

>Saturday in NYC

Filed under: Manhattan
November 22, 2009

>Em and I went down early. Wanted to get breakfast at Pershing Square before Em’s nail appointment. We were a little disappointed with the service. All the times we have gone there this is the first time the service wasn’t great. What was most annoying was his other customers were getting great service.

I told Em, I needed more pictures of Central Park for my Facebook albums. So of course I forgot to take my camera with me. And of course I saw some very cute things that I really would have liked to take pictures of. Since I just had my phone, all I got pictures of were of me with my new lipstick. Which I got a Sephora, along with eyeliner and mascara (kind of a blue green color, which I haven’t worn yet, hence no pictures) and some hand cream and um something else I think, maybe not. Anyway, the lipstick is dark and purple-ish and I really like it.

Some pretty lights.
And this rather lame picture of Central Park after dark. It looked really cool in actuality.

And since I didn’t have my camera, which has a setting for night pictures, which my cell phone doesn’t have, I missed the coolest shot ever, which will probably never happen again. We were walking past the duck pond, and some ducks were swimming around and Em was telling them it was time for them to go home, I was telling her that they were home when she gasps, and I looked over where she was looking . . . and this raccoon was sticking his cute little head up from behind some rocks! He was close enough we could see his face clearly and there was a lamp post right there so the light was shining right on him. It was so very cool. And I missed it, the shot of a lifetime.

>Now a recurring washer problem

Filed under: Uncategorized
October 30, 2009

>Last night I put a load of clothes in the washer while I was watching the game. It ran for a little then stopped. In the back of my head I thought it hadn’t run long enough, but I dismissed it. After the game I went to get my clothes out and the washer was still full of water. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it so I just left them there. It was much too late to take them to the laundromat, especially since I would have had to fish them out of the cold water and wring them out first.

One day this week I bought a Yankees magazine, it gives a mini history of their season and had pictures of the active players. I scanned the pictures I liked. One picture I liked but didn’t scan had a woman holding up a sign, “Jeter, I will sign a pre-nup”. Em wanted me to print off Swisher’s picture for her bulletin board at work. I did it 4×6 on photo paper so it looks really nice. Then she wanted me to print of Mariano for someone at her job the same size. Then I printed a couple off for me. My cabinet at work is slowly being covered by Jeter. So I just printed off a picture of another player to add to it.

>Yankees Short Hops: Game 2

A-Rod continues postseason resurgence as Yanks walk off

Fielding the Yankees’ Game 2 4-3 win over the Twins in 11 innings on a short hop …

In less then 25 words …
A.J. Burnett worked out of several early jams, Alex Rodriguez delivered two clutch hits and Mark Teixeira’s walk-off homer sealed the 11th-inning win.

Frozen moment
Shortstop Derek Jeter signaling to right fielder Nick Swisher to throw the ball to him so he could tag out Carlos Gomez beyond second base before the Twins’ Delmon Young could touch home plate. The play ended the fourth inning and kept Minnesota off the scoreboard, and a fired-up Jeter pumped his fist in the air after what was a big momentum-turner.

Big number
7: Combined total of walks and hit batsmen by Burnett, who was wild but effective in working with backup catcher Jose Molina.

Game balls
Alex Rodriguez

Despite his oft-chronicled postseason struggles, Rodriguez continued to reverse the trend, connecting for an RBI single with two outs in the sixth to plate Jeter. He then blasted a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.

A.J. Burnett

With all of the buzz surrounding Burnett’s preference to pitch to Molina over Jorge Posada, the right-hander stepped up and silenced his critics. He struck out six and allowed one run on three hits, walking five over six innings.

Derek Jeter

Jeter, who delivered a key two-run homer in the Yankees’ 7-2 win in Game 1, continued to thrive in the clutch, answering the Twins’ run in the sixth inning with a double that led to a New York run.

Sense of October
Pinch-runner Brett Gardner stole second base and induced a wild pickoff throw to second from pitcher Joe Nathan to put a runner on third in the bottom of the 10th inning.

Lines of the Game
Hitting
Derek Jeter
4 AB, 2B, R
Comment: Jeter had one of the Yankees’ two hits off Nick Blackburn and scored New York’s first run.

Pitching
Phil Hughes
2/3 IP, 2 H, 2 R, BB, K
Comment: The usually stoic Hughes struggled in his second career postseason relief appearance, giving way to a two-run Twins lead in the eighth.

Next step
The Yankees will fly to Minnesota for Saturday’s off-day before handing the ball to Andy Pettitte, looking for a series sweep in Game 3.

>I promise to not

Filed under: Uncategorized

>blog anymore about the Yankees. As soon as they win the World Series that is. And I won’t post any more about them until baseball season starts again. This is not a sports blog! Here is a link to a post game interview clip. I am posting the link instead of embedding the video because I know not everyone is interested. But for those who are: YouTube.

I stayed home last night, my cold feels like it is becoming a sinus infection, and I watched the game. Well, I sort of watched the game. I had it on while I was watching Wolverine. I liked it o.k., not as much as the kids I think. Boston plays tonight against the Angels in Los Angeles. I had more to say, not about baseball, but now I can’t remember.

>I shouldn’t have been so hard

>on my boys, saying they didn’t know how to win against Tampa Bay. Yesterday the score was Yankees 10, TB 2 – and Alex, oh now I love Alex. I mean Derek is still my Sweetie Face Honey Pie, but this week I love Alex. 7 runs batted in, in one inning! So now to the playoffs and the World Series.

Last night I downloaded Wolverine and I can’t decide if I want to watch it first thing when I get home or go get a DVD so I can burn it and watch it on my DVD player on my way to work. Tigger has already watched it. Actually the very first thing I have to do is clean that stinky litterbox. Phew! That will actually determine if I go to Target before I watch any movie.
