just a (transplanted) city girl

>I am trying to send this text while eating but it is not easy for me to text with one hand, I just was hungry so I am scarfing down this sandwich while trying to type this. I used to write weird things I saw in my journal so here are 2.

Black woman wearing blue bra under yellow top,

rose petals in the tunnel to the 7 train.

OK so the black woman with the yellow top and blue bra is not so weird in New York City, but where did the rose petals come from? Did I mention they were big petals and dark red? Like the kind you buy for someone you love? I mean you buy red roses for people you love, not just the petals.

I just posted my first review on Shelfari. It was fun, like posting here is fun. I wrote it on the book Property, which I didn’t really care for. I think I need to check back with Booktalk because Melva and I kind of have a conversation going on.

>My mother used to say, its not the heat its the humidity, and she is right, it is not so much it is hot but that I can’t breathe the air. I have clothes in the washer to take care up, but I have committed to posting everyday here. This will be a short post, I am tired, my period didn’t start and I feel like I am about to throw up.

This morning Gwen and I went to C’s. They have no air conditioning, there were not a lot of people there, so it wasn’t too bad, but still, when we got in my car to leave, we both needed to use the inhaler.

Today was graduation, so Tigger was out in this nasty weather. I felt bad for him so before he got home I got his MP3 player and put the soundtrack for Wall-E on it. That reminds me, I need to put my Pepsi points in. I have a whole cup full of bottle caps. Stitch treated all of us to Olive Garden, the waitress looked at him and said, “You were in my music history class.” That happens a lot when Stitch goes out. A lot of college students work at restaurants.

I am going to sign off now and put my aching head and tummy to bed, after I hang up my clothes that is.

>I left home to catch the 6:33 with 15 minutes to get there, plenty of time. Unless there is construction on Fishkill Ave and it is completely blocked off after DDs, which was the case this morning. So I turned around, drove to Red Schoolhouse Road, took it to Rt 9D to the train station and caught the 6:33, only because it got in at 6:35. The train is ‘light’ today, I wonder if that will be the case going home.

Today I am wearing my Cleo Crocs. My little toes on each foot are taped up and I had to put a new band-aid on the blister on my left bunion, my left foot does not like the Cyprus crocs at all.

After going to four stores I finally found Laffy Taffy for Tigger. I put it in the gray cabinet so he will be sure to find it.

This morning I bought some Crows at Rite Aid, at the same time I was buying more band-aids and tape for my feet and Tums. I tried throwing them out, but just fished the box out. The candy was still in the box, and it is my personal trash so I am eating them. I took care of the Crows, I dumped them out of the box into the trash can now I definitely won’t eat them.

So I just had 4 slices of Canadian Bacon for lunch, Monday I start journaling in earnest, I will keep track on here. I am also going to start posting my weight here. I have to get serious, its not just the clothes.

The kids went to see ‘Wall-E’ today, of Tigger now wants the music. I said ‘No’, he cried in a text, you know he added the animated bear with water running down his face. I still said ‘No’, said I wouldn’t because I wanted to see it but didn’t get to, of course, I just downloaded it for him.

>To my other blog and it has the update date all wrong. So I am just jumping in here to see if this changes it. I will be back later to talk more.

forgot-my-phone
So I will not be able to blog at lunchtime. I will be back tonight. Have to find some paper to write notes today.

I combined my posts, I didn’t find any paper so I wrote nothing down to blog here. I tried to find the candy store so I could get Now-N-Later or LaffyTaffy for Tigger but I forgot to write the addresses down.

I joined this neat website called shelfari, you list all the books you have read or want to read and then you can comment on them. Neat! Now, I just need to send out friend requests so I can talk to people. As you can see, I added a Shelfari shelf to my blog, how cool is that! Now I don’t have to copy all the titles and save the covers to keep the list updated. So I really need to go to bed now. I pulled all the books out from under my bed and put them on the website. Found a couple that I bought and never finished. I will have to do more tomorrow.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you my Croc shopping ordeal is not over. I went online to Crocs.com and the shoes I want in the the color I want are not in my size. Pffft.

And here I am at the park that has become my favorite lunch place. But only when the weather is nice. When the weather is cold or nasty, then I like the Brazil, is smells like coffee and has though cool tables. This is Butterscotch or Buddy as the kids call him on ‘his’ new table. I am going to read some before I go back. I am tired.

I have discovered that I can send a picture, put text in it and the text and picture come through, how cool is that? I bought M some Crocs when I was on my way home from work. When I got home from the gym, she was sitting on the new swing we got for the backyard and wearing them. She loves them, thinks they are so comfortable, and says she needs another pair.

I requested The First Cut by Peter Robinson and picked it up at the library tonight and read it. The ending occurs in the last Alan Banks book I read, years later the protagonist shows up as a medical examiner killing serial murderers, then when Annie figures it out, she kills herself. Not Annie, the character in the book.

It is late now and so I am going to bed. See you tomorrow.

>and I made the train after struggling to get up. I did my shoulder exercises and was going to put on my makeup but the Aussie conditioner had made a mess in the make-up case I put it in to pack it in my suitcase. That is why you should always unpack your suitcase right away.

Uneven hems seem to be back in style, I saw two women wearing them. They weren’t extreme, just kind of curved around, like a big ‘O’. One of the women had a purse bigger than her tote bag. Another woman is obviously a fashionista with her multi-colored gauze skirt over her tan capris with yellow Keds.

Tigger sent me a text message asking to download the “National Treasure” soundtrack. As opposed to the “National Treasure 2” soundtrack. He said it is not as good as #2. He used up all the Pepsi points to get it.

You can buy BioFreeze from Amazon.com but according to the BioFreeze website, you shouldn’t. You should only buy it from a medical professional. I sent the website to M. Of course she was like, you haven’t been at work for 2 weeks and you have time to search for BioFreeze? Well I used the computer search engine, takes hardly any time at all.

Then when the train was almost at Garrison, I started hearing pings against the window, sounded like hail. I don’t like hail, it hurts. Anyway, it stayed in Garrison.

>^. .^<

>here on my bed doing nothing but listening to the kids outside. My shoulder really hurts. I wish it would stop. I am guessing it won’t until I go to the doctor, but I feel like if I do that I will get into the PT, then they stop, so I have surgery and more PT. I think I will wait until it just stops moving, then go see Doctor DiMarco. How does that sound to you?

D is out buying a new T.V. They are redecorating the living room slowly, lots of red accents. I should go upstairs to help but I really don’t feel like it right now. I am feeling rather blah right now so I am just going to lie here for a little bit longer.

M.L. sent me an e-mail asking me where I was since I didn’t post yesterday, I don’t think I turned my computer on at all yesterday. I only sent a quick e-mail to start a post here while I was watching some really weird T.V. shows. Some things I shouldn’t have been watching but sometimes I just can’t help myself. I really should go now, I need to type what happened on the way home.

>Power purify and some weird Japanese foot sticky patches to purify your body and lose weight, i saw those two commercials on the T.V. tonight. So weird.

When you watch late night T.V. you see the really weird commercials, like the ones I mentioned above. And ones for phone sex chat lines. Those really freak me out, if those girls are really that beautiful, why are they on the phone? Why aren’t they somewhere you can see them in person? Anyway I don’t remember the name of the Japanese foot things but the power purify do the same thing. You stick them on your feet and in the morning they come off dirty. Freaky HUH? Well, I really can’t think of anything else to say, I think my brain is taking a break from thinking right now.

>Today is the last day off I have, the weekends are always days off. My shoulder is really bothering me now. I will probably have to go the doctor again. I am trying to avoid it by doing the exercises from PT, but I don’t remember them all and it is getting really difficult to lift my hands over my head and take clothes off over my head etc. I am going to try doing my exercises 3 times a day and see if that helps.

Anyway, I have to go help Gwen, then we are going to have a driving lesson and then go to Ron’s, see you later.
