Happy Hump Day - but before I run out the door ...
Fridge is back up and running, annoying beeping gone, and Beachy's bro and friend fixed my outside lights when they all came over to help me eat all the food we had to cook or throw out with the fridge problem. Yeah!

 some Halloweeen fun from Martini's site. 

You Are

A Classic Pumpkin Face You would make a good pumpkin pie.

Post #2 - An Update already ....gotta love working from home - ha ha....
Totally forgot how funny this weekend was with Beachy and her dirty sailors, she is starting the re-telling ...check it out http://www.xanga.com/beachorbust

Post #1 - Home Ownership Joy

I got home yesterday from work to water all over the kitchen floor.  Something is wrong with the fridge/freezer.  Wah!  So a repair guy will be here between 10am-1pm today.  Luckily not to much in the freezer that  I will have to cook  Also last night at about 2am the firm alarm thinggie started beeping to let me know that it needs a new battery.  It is right outside my bedroom door and it beeps about every 10 mins ...annoying!  It takes some weird size too ....the bright side is that whatever is wrong with the fridge didn't start a fire - ha ha

Last night it actually turned cool here in FL - glorious!  It was great sleeping weather and well it is "just right"  Sunny and cool during the day but not frigid and cold at night but again, not frigid like our friends to the north.  It should be 80 again by Saturday - lovely!!!!

Well, I am off to dig out my laptop and start working from home.  The vote went through last Saturday so after Thursday's national vote of volunteers our new affiliate will be official and comprise of 6 states and Puerto Rico.  It will be the biggest affiliate in our company.  New sr managment and staffing structure is yet to come.  Everyone is getting antsy so I am hoping the announcements come soon.

Happy Day

Crazy times ...

tomorrow is the vote for our merger - thank god this is almost over and then we can find out what are new roles will be!  I am so over the drama and intrigue of it all.  Besides my eye, while not swollen is still tearing non stop so I look all emotional .  People keep asking me what is wrong ...hmmm that would be nothing and even if there was I wouldnt talk to you about it!

Beach day take me away!  Sunny started her new job so I hope she makes it tomorrow so I can get all the details.  Beachy is cooking out tomorrow with her bro and his dirty dirty sailor friends which translates into yummy food for me!  Yeah - 5pm hurry up and get here!

TTFN Hosers

For the Record ...

I don't have pink eye folks!  I have itchy allergy eyes cause I touched nature and then stuck my hands on my face like a dork (yes, they are still bad but getting better).  Thanks Acid tho for starting the pink eye rumor ala South Park reference - ha ha.  Also, thanks for the home remedy tips although I dunno about the salt in the eye thing.
Last night I spent to much time downloading crap from itunes.  I am going to have to break down and get one of the those things that I can convert my albums (yes the big vinyl things) into MP3s. 

Alrighty - enough playing around - got to get by ass in gear, get ready and go pickup Beachy at the car dealer.
Happy Thursday all - might update entry later

My Eye - My Eye!

Mad Eye Moody?  Maybe I need a patch over it like a pirate!  It still looks like crap and itches like crazy.
Must not touch it!  Must take more meds!

Happy hump day all

What a day!  what is wrong with people?

poor customer service abounds.  I am so itchy/scratch allergic reaction to something and I touched my eyeballs so now they are practially swollen shut!
I need to pay bills, I am running out of ice tea ...ACK!  Who turned by Tuesday into a Monday??

on the bright side, I am eating the last piece of home made apple pie ...yummy yummy!  And while the vote on the merger isn't until this weekend, I have been getting hints from those in the know that I will like the changes.  I hope so, I am ready for positive changes in my life.

oh and why do all the crazies move to my state?  I heard some report that state troopers were chasing the actor Wesley Snipes on the FL turnpike earlier today trying to serve a warrant for his arrest for tax evasion.  He owes $12 Million dollars to Uncle Sam and has not filed a return in 6 years!  You would think he would have an account or something for that.  Who knows mabye I heard wrong.

Well I think I am off to watch some trash TV instead of doing "real" things.  Have a great night everyone and I am glad you all like my new background.

Happy Sunday!

So far, all I have done is played with my xanga backgrounds and colors!  I wanted something fall-ish, but not really happy with anything I found so I finally settled for this.  What do you think?  While I could waste away the whole day goofing around, I feel compelled to leave my PC at some point and ...sit on the couch and watch football - ha ha.  Seriously, I do have things I want to get done and playing around here is just a nice diversion to keep me away from the ugly real things that have to get done. 

Anyway - beach day was EXTRAORDINARY.  A family of dolphins (3 or 4) played, frolicked etc in front of us for about 2 hours.  It was magnificent.  The one bigger dolphin was so close to shore - beachy and sunny, he was were we usually go out to swim!  He was jumping in the air and enjoying the day like the rest of us.   TM came out with me, well I kidnapped her and she was glad she did make it out once she saw the dolphins. TM is entering a new stage in her life - all her kids are pretty much grown and on their own, she is foot loose and fancy free again.  She has moved into a new apt not far from my house so I think she might become a regular beach day attendant.  I have not seen her that relaxed in years - it was nice.  The funniest part of the day was me trying to get a pic of the dolphins with my camera phone.  Now, when I was in AK last summer, I was in a boat maybe 30ft from a baby whale and I missed him with my digital camera ...what ever made me think that I would be able to capture the dolphin on my camera phone from the beach witout a zoom etc???  I wasn't even drinking but yet I tried!!!!  Below is TM helping me out - ha ha - trying to get my pic.  You will have to use your imagination to see the fin

After the beach, LT met us back at the house for spagetti, salad, garlic bread and homemade apple pie - yum yum!  Mom was there too so it was a nice evening of the 4 of us....with of course NASCAR going in the background.  (Woo hoo - Jr is gaining in the points, he might pull it out!)  LT was joking that she just sorta invited herself over but it was so much fun.  She has been working and traveling so much lately that I think she needed the break.  She brought her doggies and they got along remarkedly well with my pets. 

It was just a nice day - want more of them like that!

have a happy one and I hope for you football fans out there that your teams win ...unless they are playing my pathetic Bucs!

Good news and bad news ...I got bugs!  Shocking headlines from a FL girl!

bad news, yes I got termites in the garage, good news - not in the house!  yippee!  So only my garage has to be tented next week and me and the animals don't have to be nomads for 3 days.  I know this is just par for the course living in FL, but it is still a pain in the ass.  So after next week, one very needed home project can be checked off the list.  Acid, I have ants too!  What I thought was termites in the bathroom are in fact winged golden harvest ants - I was thinking, whatever!  What do I do to kill them???  So I am breaking down and going on a yearly bug service.  Lord knows I don't want to crawl under the house!

Work has been a little tense, 2 mergers are happening and our affiliate is one of them.  Everything is getting so tense as folks are getting "ants in their pants" wanting to know what their new role will be ...if they have one.  Since I work in the admin services side, there are some duplication of staff ...I might have to go back to IT with Acid if I want to stay with the company.  So much drama and life changes going on for me in 2006 that for once I am just not going to worry about it or make a plan.  For those of you who know me well, you know what an odd statement that is for me - LOL.

Trying to make it to the beach today but I might be solo - Beachy is in NYC having a fabulous time and Sunshine might be making halloween costumes.  This means, I will have to play the role of slacker today, which I will do so glady.

oh and Beachy - I finally made it to the grand opening sale of Kohl's last night and you scored a bday present out of it!  Man, I love the store.  Now I will only have to drive 30 mins vs. 8 hours to shop there!

have a good day hosers!

Man, I have been busier than a one-arm paper hanger!

The Dallas trip was long but pretty good.  Olive, no one fun got to sloppy drunk so I don't have any good stories.  Kind of a shame since MW was buying - ha ha ha.  Then when I got back I had work drama, family drama ...just drama I guess . 

But thank the 6lb 8 oz Christmas Baby Jesus, I did make it to the beach.  Pimie was over for some work stuff so she joined us (me and Sunshine, Beachy was busy meeting boys!). We had fun and she still made it to her gala event that night ON TIME.  I knew she thought she was going to be late but even with the Starbucks run she made it.  The best part of Beach Day was no red tide - woo hoo.  There was a couple of dead fishes around but nothing like the week before.

Now sunday was going to be a spectacular day but that %#$%^%^ spun Dale Jr out on the last $%$% lap so instead of finishing 1st, and moving up in the points standing, he finished 23rd and stayed the same.  You know, I think that is why I haven't blogged, I am still depressed over that.  Luckily the Bucs had a bye so I didn't have to stick my head in the oven - ha ha.

hmm, there was something else I wanted to say but I can't remember.  My mind has gone to shit.  Be on the look out for "pets in costumes" in honor of Halloween.  A coworker passed on this email to me of about 28 different images of various pets in different costumes, some just crack me up and must be shared with the world.

Have a great Tuesday night!

Where has the time gone????

I have been going non stop since Friday!  Helping people move, trying to get some personal stuff done, making a beach visit, helping people hook up their computers ...and the list goes on!  I SHOULD be packing for my Dallas trip but I am catching up on my blogging instead!  Tomorrow AM is going to come way to soon!!!!   Geez I have had to much caffeine - look at all these damn exclamation points  I am using!!!  Major ants in my pants!!!!

I will try to blog while in Dallas.  This should be entertaining since I am not bringing my laptop so I will have to use someone elses or go down to the business center to "take care of my biz" ha ha. I just don't feel like lugging that thing with me.

Have a good week everyone - Dallas stories by the end of the week.  Lets see who gets drunk this trip!

Beachy - thanks again for being such a good friend this week.  It was just what I needed.
