Monkey business
Exercise: None unless you count the sweat I worked up making Chi's birthday cheesecake (Mint Chocolate topped with cherries).
During my lunch hour today I was sitting at my desk poking around various news sites on the internet. I guess scientists have now decoded the DNA of chimps. The report said that it produced a long list of DNA differences humans have with chimps but also hints to which ones might be the most crucial. I'm really interested to see where this will go even if it means the creationists and evolutionists being up in arms.
And now for something completely different.....
The looting going on in Louisiana. I'm sorta sickened by the video I have seen of people who are looting getting bitched at by the police. I don't condone stealing and under normal circumstances, something like that is a lousy thing to do, however, considering the state of where it is happening, I can't believe these people are actually being bitched at. They have no food, no clean drinking water, clean clothes, etc. and here the authorities, who should be spending their time looking for people that actually need help, are chasing them away. It's not like the stuff that is there is going to be salvageable or even there to count in the first place. Let the people who need it take it. From the reports that I have been hearing the majority of the ones left down there are those who were too poor or elderly to evacuate. That alone is enough for me to say, "Let them have the goods dammit! They need it more than the majority of the rest of us do."
Otay kiddies, time to get to bed.

I think I found my dream car! One of them anyway.
Exercise: None of the conventional sort - too busy running "errands" for the upcoming 30th birthday of The Chi. :)
Well, the weekend didn't pan out quite the way I had hoped but it was still good.
Friday I got off work at noon. I was supposed to meet Chi for lunch but he ended up getting called off site so that didn't work out (Oh the wonders of being one of the "bigger wigs" LOL). Instead I went home for a little while so I could change my clothes and have lunch before shootin down to the store for some groceries. When I got back, I called an insurance guy I've been communicating with over the last couple of weeks to get some quotes from him. What we pay now isn't bad (better than many people I know), but even with clean driving records, no claims on our policy, and a good insurance score, we felt we might get ripped when the new car is purchase. Right now we are at the end of the term on our current policy so we thought now would be a good time to switch if we can get a better rate somewhere else. So far the quotes have been encouraging. According to the information I was given the rates for Chi's car plus nearly all of the news ones I'm looking at are cheaper than what we are paying now. The even better news is that after the guy actually ran our records and score, the quotes were even less. I'm really wishing we would have shopped around earlier. Bad Diva! Bad! Bad! LOL
Saturday we didn't get to go out test driving like I had hoped. Chi has to be on call for work one weekend a month and this was his weekend. Initially he was supposed to do it this weekend but since it's his "birthday weekend", he switched with a co-worker which meant he couldn't leave the house for extended periods of time during the peak hours problems could occur. We still went out to the lots later in the evening to have a look and I think I may have found my car - a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse. Based on the pictures alone, I wasn't sure I liked it, but after seeing it 'live' I fell in love. As long as the test goes well, I think this really may be my next car. Stay tuned for updates as it gets closer to purchase time. :)
Sunday I went to my parents' house to celebrate my oldest nephew's 21st birthday. A couple of weeks ago, he had said that he wanted to have some champagne on the day. He has epilepsy and has to take medication so he had to get the ok from the doctor first which he did get but he ended up not having the bubbly afterall. Instead, during the wee hours of Saturday (that was his actual birthday) about 1am, he went to the local not so convenient store and bought himself a beer. I guess he took it home, drank it, and ended up throwing up. LOL It was enough to get him to swear off it for life. He said that getting botulism after having one of those big turkey legs at the fair a year or so ago was better because, "at least it tasted good going down." LOL I told him to stay away from piss in a bottle but I guess he decided to give it a whirl anyway. At least we don't have to worry about him turning into a lush anytime soon. LOL
And now for something completely different.....
Rockstar....yet another stellar performance by MiG tonight. :) I'm really glad he did choose to go for Live & Let Die rather than Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it paid off in the end.
Well kiddies, it's time for bed.

Taking a lead from TBB
Exercise: 50 push-ups and 50 crunches. I would have done more but I had a little black & white fat ass furball climb on top of me and demand ATTENTION!.
TBB posted something similar to this on her blog. I saw another version on the news so I figured what the hell I'll keep with the "theme of the day".
Not much to post about today. Things have just been kind of blah. Maybe the weekend will bring some excitement and inspiration.

Sneezerama!
Exercise: None thanks very little to my allergies that decided to kick in.
So it's that time of week again - rockstar day!
I think I like Tommy Goes To College more every time I watch it. I know they stage some of the stuff that goes on for that "dramatic effect" but I still get the feeling that Tommy world known drummer that he is isn't very sure of himself. Something about that just makes me like him all the more and I can totally identify with him when it comes to some of the material covered in the classes he's taking. I went to college and I have a degree but if I went back today, I feel like I would have many of the same reactions to stuff that he has. It's like when you have been a student for the previous twelve years, you are in that mode so the step up to college from high school isn't that big of deal (at least it wasn't for me) but when you have been out in the world for awhile where you aren't pressed to retain knowledge in the same manner, going back to student mode can be sorta intimidating.
Next up Rockstar INXS. There was some major SUCKING going on tonight and I don't mean that in the "sucking up" sorta way. Suzie did Start Me Up. The band thought it was good but I disagree. She was ok but each time I see her it only further confirms my thoughts that she just isn't right for the band. She also has a warble to her voice that I really don't care for - YUCK!
JD did Cold As Ice. Stupid fucker ruined a really good song. I laughed when he was asked if his off notes were "creativity" or actual missed notes and he claimed it was his spin on things. WHATEVER! Come on buddy you massacred it and you know it.
Deanna did an original song that she co-wrote with Ty. The song was good and she did well but I agree with the band that she stayed in her safe zone of bluesy rock.
Ty did Proud Mary. He did a pretty good job of it. I don't think it was his best performance (he would have done better sticking to the song he helped write) but definitely better than Suzie and JD.
Next up MiG with his original Do Or Die *SIGH* - Nuff said. LOL
Ok Marty had me last week with his twist on the Britney Spears song but he once again lost me this week with his performance of I Alone. He started out ok but once he got to the meat of the song - OUCH! Or as Bart Simpson would say, "Oh my eeeeaaaarrrrssss!"
Then there was Jordis. She's been my favorite female performer but tonight she really tanked it singing Dream On. She just wasn't on her game and couldn't hit the notes. I felt bad for her too because you could tell that she knew she didn't do well and when she was being critiqued, she kept pulling her hat down over her eyes as though she was trying to hide possible tears.
And now for something completely different......
I heard on the news tonight that a new study suggests that I fetus can't feel pain until 28 weeks. I've got this funny feeling a big ole can of worms is going to explode all over the place with that one.
Rummy also stuck his foot in his mouth today with his comment of, "our department doesn't do that kind of thing" to dismiss Pat Robertson's cracks about Venezuelan Prez Hugo Chavez. Hey Rummy....if your department doesn't do that sort of thing then what do you call the stuff going on in the Middle East?
Ok, one more thing.....I was listening to my Best Of Blondie CD today and lemme just say that Deborah Harry has nothing over Joe Elliott when it comes to the song Hanging On The Telephone. I swear that man was born to sing that song at some point in his career. Now if I could just get it out of my head! Out out damn spot! (or song in this case) LOL
Otay.....I'm outta here. Catcha on the flipside kiddies.

Oh how times have changed!
Exercise: 100 push-ups, 200 crunches, 50 leg lifts, and a 2 mile run. Can certainly tell it's been awhile since I last ran but I have to give myself a pat on the back for still being able to keep it under 18 minutes. :)
The last time I went to my parents' house I was rooting through some old papers dseperately hoping to find the title to my car. I can't believe I've managed to be such a scatterbrain with it (very out of the ordinary for me). It must have run away and hid when we moved. I just hope the little fucker decides to produce itself someday soon because I really don't have to hassle with getting a new one and paying $15 for it just to give it away to the next owner of my current vehicle. Grrrr!
Ok so anyway that wasn't the main reason I mentioned digging through crap. I actually started to tell about one of those things from the "found something I was looking for at one time but couldn't find but since I wasn't looking for it this time I found it" files - concert stubs from yesteryear. I couldn't believe how cheap it was to go to a concert 10 - 15 years ago compared to today. Check these out and keep in mind these were stadium/area venues:
Genesis - Friday, June 23, 1992: $25.25
U2 - Friday, September 11, 1992 (the date on this one caught my eye): $30.25
Def Leppard - Tuesday, December 15, 1992: $20.25
Damn Yankees - Sunday, January 3, 1993: $12.75
This was also back when the "handling" charge wasn't more than about $2.50 and there was no such thing as a convenience fee. I'm still trying to figure that one out. I mean how it is convenient to me to fork over another $6 or $7 so TicketBastard can make a phenomenal profit? Just once I would love to see everyone boycott all the concerts that pocket scalping dump sells tickets for then we will see how convenient their charges are. neener neener FUCKERS!
And now for something completely different.......
Well, two things actually. The first comes from my Wally World shopping trip Friday night. Chi asked me to buy him some beer - just so you know, this is something I loathe basically because of the whole ID issue that never fails including this time. When I went to check out, I put the beer up on the belt first not only to get it out of the way but because most of the other stuff I had was delicate veggies and I didn't want the dumb bitch behind the counter squashing my shit like they usually do. So much for my plan to protect my produce. Dopey lady reaches around the beer and starts picking up the stuff behind it - HURUMPH! The whole time she was doing this, she kept looking me over. It was all I could do to not say, "What?! Do I have something on my face?" LOL When she got done molesting my peppers and onions, she looks me over again and says, "Are you over 27?" HUH? That's when I remember the little signs they put up that say something about if you look like you are under 27, you will be ID. I told her that I was exactly one month away from turning 32. I couldn't believe what happened next. She asked me if I was sure. Uh well yah lady I think I know when I was born. I told her I was and then she still wanted to see my ID. She said I just looked too young to be that old. Ok lady here's my license - go on.....snoop around I'm not a liar. I don't mind if people think I am younger than I am. Hell, if I can pass for someone 10 years younger than I am - cool. What isn't cool is arsesharts wasting my time instead of just asking for my ID in the first place. BASTARDS!
The second part of this section is about a commercial I saw tonight for Diet Coke. I don't drink much pop and when I do it's usually Ginger Ale or Sprite. If I get a cola, I choose Pepsi over Coke and I certainly don't do diet pop - I like full tar but I have to give props to this particular ad because they used one of my favorite dance/electronica songs which you will find on my hit list - I Like The Way by Body Rockers. :)
Otay...Vicar Of Dibley is on so I'm outta here.

Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam
Exercise: 100 push-ups, 200 crunches, and 50 leg lifts.
No, I'm not talking about that nasty said to be edible pressed crap in a blue can with yellow writing that is sung about in a Monty Python skit. I'm talking about all those unwanted emails that show up in your box whether you want them or not. Thankfully, I rarely have to put up with this when it comes to my "real" email account mainly because I don't give that one out to just anybody. I have a Yahoo account (amwise_prod@yahoo.com <---- for all you spammers out there) that I use if I am going to register for things and stuff. The really sad part of this is, I haven't registered for very many things but I swear I must get close to 1000 spam messages delivered to the bulk folder of that account every week. Oh and lots of time selecting the "unsubscribe" option only brings more spam in the end. YIKES!
So anyway, back to the real reason behind my little rant here. As I have mentioned, I am in the process of looking for a new car. I hate using online quoting services because you have to put all your information (name, address, phone number, email, blah blah blah) in but from all the research I have been doing, it's a good tool to use to get a good deal. Well, the other day I "applied" for my first quote. At the moment I hit the button I knew I would probably be sorry but I went through with it anyway. Not long afterward, I received my quote with a nice little message from the internet sales guy saying that I could contact him any time if I had questions. Ok fine, will do. I thought that would be the end of it but NOOOOOO at least once a day I kept getting mail from him or GM with that same general message of "let us know what we can do to help". Gee, desperate to sell a car are you? CHRIST! After a few days of this, I finally decided to send a message back. I asked the guy as nicely as I could muster to please not email me anymore. I then told him that the biggest annoyance of requesting internet quotes is the SPAM that follows. Finally, I said that being inundated with emails like that was enough to make me not even want to buy a car. LOL It's true too. You would think in the day and age when we have things like a national do not call list that everyone scrambles to get on businesses would get a brain and realize most of us don't like the "in your face" tactic - The men of Def Leppard excluded of course ;)
Rockstar INXS - YAY! They got rid of Jessica. 'Bout time. I'm not the type who usually kicks people when there down but this chic should have been gone a long time ago! The top three didn't surprise me - neither did the bottom three. None of the "blondies" as I call them are a good fit in my opinion. I'm thinking the top 4 is going to consist of MiG, Jordis, Ty, and Marty. JD knows how to perform well but I just don't think people are going to go for the arrogant personality he has and I would be surprised if the guys in the bad would either. If God forbid he wins, I won't be buying any more INXS albums or attend any of their concerts.
And now for something completely different.....
My Chi can be such a good boy to me. He managed to get a copy of a CD many people in a certain "community" I am part of have been itching to hear for months now and are getting more anxious to get their hands on everyday because the artist has delayed the release date. From what I have heard so far - it's good....better than I was expecting. :)

Rockstar Mania
Exercise: 100 push-ups, 200 crunches, 50 leg lifts.
So NBC aired two episodes of Tommy Lee Goes To College. Me being, well, me, I just had to watch. Hey, I can't help it. I had a crush on the guy back in the 80s and I still find something about him that I like although I don't know what it is. Must be that "wild child" in me who's just dyin to get out. LOL Ok, so maybe this show isn't the best reality flick going but it was better than I thought it might be. I actually enjoyed it and will be making a point of watching future episodes. I thought the band "requirements" were a little strict. I'm not sure if they were for real or show but dayum it would be enough to make me not want to sign up just on principle alone.
Rockstar INXS....WFT does JD think he's doing? I thought the first few times he went out on a limb he was showing initiative but now I think he's little more than a pompous little ass. The bit they showed tonight having to do with the team song writing bit did nothing but show him as a whiney little baby. The live discussion that followed afterward only made it worse and in my opinion did nothing for him but help him off the show. JERK!
OMG! They actually had one of the singers (Marty) do a Britney Spears song. Sad bit is (or should I say good?) that his version is actually better than the original. LOL Of course given the original artist, it's not like it would take much to make an improvement.
I'm still thinking they really need to launch that Jessica chic. I have yet to see a performance by her that I really like. Really Jordis is the only woman on the show that I could see possibly getting the spot. She just seems to have the most versatile voice of the women and the most suitable for INXS.
Oooh MiG...I swear that guy grows on me every week but this week - ooh la la la la la la la la. I still like Ty and I'm starting to like Marty more than I did at the outset but MiG pretty much cinched it as my favorite tonight which is saying a lot since I'm not really a Frampton fan. *SIGH*
One final note on the show....Garry Beers is just kinda yummy! :)
And now for something completely different.....
Dubya's approval ratings are at an all time low. Not that it's really a big surprise. Too bad more people didn't see that coming before the last election. Funny how he's following in daddy's footsteps in more than one way.
Righty roo...gonna go watch the forecast and wait for As Time Goes By to come on before hittin the hay.

It's that time of year once again
Exercise: None - My headache last night got worse. I ended up having to take something for it which kept me up half the night so I napped this evening.
Property tax time! I just love forking over $2600+ to my local government. BLEH! At least I was able to get rid of our escrow account so the bank doesn't get the interest off the money before it gets sent off to the county.
And now for something completely different.....
I was talking to J-Lo at work today. I guess she is going to buy her oldest son a used car. She told me that she had mentioned my car to him as a possibility and his reply was that it's a "girl's car". WTF??? Which is what she thought too. I mean I suppose I could maybe see it if it were purple, yellow, and maybe even white but it's black and not only has some sporty looking alloys on it, it also has performance track tires. What makes it even more funny is that I know a lot of guys (my husband included) who have thought it was a pretty decent looking car when it comes to the lower end sports models. Not to mention if my car were raced against most of the pieces of crap I see the little kiddies driving these days, it would dust them which is pretty sad considering it's only a four cylinder and doesn't even have turbo boost. LOL
I asked J-Lo, "What does he want, a Civic?" and she said that if he could have his way that is what he would like. LOL We had a good giggle over that. I don't know what it is with kids these days and Civics. If nothing else, it will be interesting to see what the kid ends up with.
The Vicar Of Dibley is on so I'm outta here.

A day at the fair
Exercise: Cleaning house
Friday I left work at noon. I went and got the grocery shopping for the week out of the way then came home to do some more car buying research. I had talked to TBB and she told me she had been out looking for a replacement car. She told me that she thought she may have found her new car but she was going to look some other places too. I told her that I was going to call my mom to see if her, my dad, and nephews (Chi doesn't like to go) were going to go to the fair on Saturday but if they weren't we should get together and go car shopping because I've got to start test driving. As it turned out, my family had decided to go so test driving has now been left to another day.
Saturday morning I got up early and got ready to meet my family at the Capitol to catch the state fair shuttle. The guy driving the bus was dressed up like a clown and I made some comment to my mom about there being a real clown driving the bus. LOL Oh boy was he a real wise cracker. He gabbed on the intercom pretty much all the way there but at least he was funny. He even had everyone on the bus singing Happy Birthday to the guy whose birthday it was. LOL
Once we arrived, we started off with the tourism building which I can't say I was overly interested in. I don't really have much interest in touring my own state boring as I find it. From there, we made our way over to the Varied Industries building. We only walked about one aisle because my mom wanted me to meet the mom of the kids she is a nanny for who was working at the public tv booth and she was only going to be there for a little while. It just so happened, however, that the Lotto booth was in the aisle we went down so of course my dad and I made a stop. He bought one of those electronic games, a Powerball ticket, and "won" a t-shirt with his purchase. Knowing the odds for a big win wouldn't be that great for the electronic game, I opted for a Powerball ticket and $2 worth of pull tabs (4 $.25 ones and 2 for $.50/each). As it turned out, I made the right choice. I won $3.50 on the pull tabs meaning I made back the money I spent on the tickets plus the shuttle fare. I also got a key chain prize because I got a pull ticket with a dot on it. :) I told my dad if he won $500 on his ticket he was in big trouble though. LOL
When we got done there, it was off to find the younger of the two nephews a turkey leg. When we walked up to the stand, I saw another item on the menu was turkey nuggets. Oh boy did I have a heyday with that and of course the rest of the gang being who they are knew just where I was taking that one - straight to the toilet of course. LOL Once we got the turkey leg (which even though I like to eat turkey, you couldn't have paid me enough money to eat one of those nasty lookin things), the rest of us went to find some lunch. We ended up going to some family owned buffet stand. I only got french fries because I wasn't that hungry but at least they were good ones. :) My dad played his lottery game when we were having lunch and he only made back $7 of the $20 he paid for it. Yup, it would seem I did make a good choice not getting one. LOL
When lunch was done, the eldest nephew and my dad wanted to go up to Pioneer Hall to look at coins (they are collector freaks). The younger nephew didn't want to walk the big hill to go up there and said he wanted to take the skyride. I said I would go too since I don't think he really wanted to go by himself. My other nephew decided that he would go too. Normally I wouldn't ride the thing because it costs $3 but I figured what the heck. It was a one time thing and it was nice to be able to spend some extra time with the youngins. I ended up riding with the older one and the whole time we were cracking jokes about the different things we saw and yelling back and forth to the younger one who was riding in the seat ahead of us. They are both such crack ups.
After we got done at PH, we stopped at the bathroom before going down to this place that sells those huge ass pickles (the older nephew wanted one). I only mention this stop because of the humorous moment that arose from it. When we came out, my mom said something about heading down to "pickle town" and my dad said he just came from there which totally cracked my mom up. My nephews and I didn't quite get the joke. I guess when my brother was little and would poop, he would say he did pickles. LOL
Once J (the older nephew) got his pickle, we went back to the VI building to finish looking at the booths we didn't see the first time we went in. Most of it was the same old same old that was there. The one thing that really caught my eye was the Saturn exhibit. They had their new Sky roadster on display. Let me just say that pictures just don't do this car justice. Although it was said the base model would be under $25000, it doesn't have the look of something that cheap. The drawbacks - it is now set for release of early 2006 (I was thinking I read before that it was supposed to be out this year), it's only a 2 seater, and it's a convertible - nice in some cases but they can also be bad news for several reasons (i.e. more mechanical parts that can break, not as safe, etc). Even so, after having another look at the Cobalt which was sitting out at the Chevy tent, that one is slowly slipping from my top pick. I really like the design of it on the outside and it does rate well in crash tests but the inside just looks so cheap. I mean my ex-boyfriend had a '92 Cavalier and let's just say the dash design hasn't changed much in nearly 15 years time.
So after we got done in the VI building, we were talking about leaving but J wanted to go back up the hill to see something at the cultural center. My dad decided to stay behind and look at the machinery while my mom, my two nephews and I went up there. On our way up, we walked through the "Fun Forest" and there was this Flush The Joker game. It consisted of a guy who sat under a toilet and people threw rolls of plastic wrapped toilet paper at this thing in attempts to knock it off and let the water from the toilet rain down on the guy sitting underneath. We stood and watched for a few minutes and then told A (the younger nephew) he should do it. He's a baseball player (pitcher I believe) and a damn good one at that so we knew if anyone could Flush The Joker (and let me just say the guy who was the joker was rather fine looking - slurp LOL), it would be him. He finally gave in to trying it and paid the two bucks to do so. Wouldn't you know....first try he hit it and everyone cheered! Once we finished there, we went on up to the building we were headed for. As it turned out, the exhibit that was there wasn't what my nephew thought it was so we left and went back down to meet my dad and make a couple of pit stops on the way (A wanted corn on the cob and a funnel cake. I wanted to make a traditional Salt Water Taffy purchase). At least we went back the way we came so I got to see Mr. Slurp Slurp again. LOL
You know, the theme of the fair this year is "America's Favorite Fair" and it is said that ours is the best in the country but I'm still trying to figure out why. I mean I go every year mainly out of tradition but I just don't find the same "excitement" in it that I used to when I was little.
After we got back to the Capitol, my mom asked if I was coming back to their house to visit. I originally hadn't intended to but decided to anyway. We got back there about 4pm and I ended up staying until about 9 or so stopping on my way home to wash my car. It had rained a little off and on yesterday and it was enough to make their gravel road kinda muddy which in turn jumped up on my car when I drove the 10th of a mile to the driveway.
Well, that was my day yesterday. Today was pretty dull. I spent most of my time cleaning the house, having an allergy attack and trying to sleep off a headache which was a result of the attack. Unfortunately, the headache never went away so I think I will be off to bed in the hopes that another rest will finally take care of it.
Till next time....

Get a life lady!
Exercise: None - I was a very bad chickyboo. LOL
I was watching the news last night and they had a report about this sculpture that was erected in a new housing area close to here that one woman in particular (Debbie LaRochelle I believe is her name) is kicking up a big stink about. It's one of those large pieces of modern art that the majority of people would probably look at and say, "What the bloody blazes is that???" Anyway, I guess the sculptor had etched somewhat abstract looking nude drawings into the main part of it which is made from some sort of metal with swirl designs on it. From the pictures I saw, you would be hard pressed to find the "naked bodies" unless you really went looking for them because they seem to blend in with the swirls. I thought it was also said that the artist even went back and "clothed" the "bodies" in question but Ms. LaRochelle still wants it removed because of the influence it might have one children. GIVE ME AN EFFIN BREAK!!! I suppose it might be one thing if the nude bodies were life like and blatantly obvious or if the artist refused to modify what was there but that's just not the case. I mean if an adult can hardly find them, how the hell does this woman think a small child is going to? I think the influence on children is going to come from people like her making a big deal out of nothing rather than a kid actually seeing what is there and being curious about it. Wouldn't surprise me if she was one of those parents that bitches about sex education being talked about at school too and thinks that by pretending stuff like sex and nudity doesn't exist, her kids will never want to know about it. It's funny because the first thought that comes into my mind about people who treat those subjects as taboo is that they are really trying to cover up the fact that they are closet sex fiends.
And now for something completely different.....
TBB - the green is headed your way. Best of luck with whatever happens concerning the car. :)

I'm such a spaz!
Exercise: None - I cleaned the house on my day off so I decided to be a slacker today. Hell, now that I think about it, I may just be a slacker for a few days. Why? Because I can! :P
Here I got all excited telling about this past weekend's events, posting pictures and telling about my nephew being on a balloon crew but I left out the most important part. Friday evening the pilot let him go for a ride. He really enjoyed it and got some great pictures too. He's supposed to send them to me sometime so maybe I will be able to post them for everyone to see. Of course I'll probably have to beat him with a stick before it happens - he's a little forgetful. LOL He was telling all of us that the downside to the ride (other than it being hotter than hell standing by the burner) is the landing. I guess it was a little bumpy and beforehand the pilot told him to bend his knees a little bit and to hold on to something sturdy. In other words - buckle up baby, it's going to be a bumpy ass ride. LOL
Believe it or not, we got MORE goodies today at work. This time it was the frozen stuff the guys had forgotten to tell us about on Friday. I scored a huge bag of hashbrowns, a huge bag of steak fries, some frozen meals, a pint of ice cream, some mini ice candy bars, a pie, some mini muffins, and some mini cookies. Most of the stuff I got is for Chi as I just don't eat it but regardless it's nice to get it because it makes the grocery bill almost non existent. I could have taken a case or two of Hot Pockets but they all had beef or pork in them and neither of us eat that. It's a good thing that I didn't bring some home anyway because as it is, the freezer is stuffed full. It was work just getting what I did bring home to fit. LOL
So someone has finally put a radio station out there that totally fuckin rocks! Well, at least I think it does and so does my friend/co-worker who first told me about it. 106.3 The Bus is the best station to hit the local airwaves since I don't know when. They say they play everything and they mean it. This is a station where you can hear the Bee Gees backed up to Def Leppard or Steppenwolf followed by Neneh Cherry. It's like it covers all the popular songs including the one hit wonders from the 60s through the 90s (maybe 2000s - I haven't had a chance to listen long enough to see how current they get). I know some of you are probably thinking that is totally wack and not overly appealing but this is the kind of thing that I love and always missed after I returned home from England. Over there radio stations still have different programs that cross genres unlike here were a station will usually only stick to one sort of music. Even though I see rock as my staple, I like all kinds of other stuff too and this station helps to feed that need for variety. :) YAY!!!!
And now for something completely different.....
This goes out to the SCB psycho who has been stalking TBBs blog lately. What the fuck is your problem anyway? You and joeneedednow have this thing for needing constant attention or what? I mean you said your peace on the OF. People read what you had to say, responded if they felt compelled to do so (not that many cared for your point of view), and then moved on. The two of you, on the other hand, just can't seem to give it up. You leave it for a couple of days then you decide to stalk TBB by constantly hitting her blog and starting shit there. You know it might be one thing if she had been taunting you or something but she hadn't. She was just minding her own business and you go and have to show up with your blah blah. Before you go ragging on people about their education, maybe you should use some of those so called street smarts and find out who you are talking to first. I'm not even sure what got you on that in the first place other than my high school comment completely flying over your head. It actually had nothing to do with your education level but instead your behavioral level. DUH! Oh and get a brain halfwit, you've been banned from commenting on TBBs blog so you can stop hitting her blog now.
Alright kiddies, I'm outta here.
Til next time......

Cricket carcasses and other weekend tidbits.
Exercise: Cleaning house.
Ok so owning a cat or two does have its advantages. When pesky insects make it into the house, the crazy little furballs enjoy the new "toy" and usually don't waste any time taking care of them for us, however, I can't say I look forward to all the little dead bodies I have to pick up when they are done. Their motto is....We kill 'em, you clean 'em. I think I came across at least four cricket carcasses today when I was sweeping the kitchen and dining room floor downstairs. YUCK! I still like dogs better.
Sample day at work on Friday wasn't too shabby but there have been better ones. I managed to score half a case of some sugar free strawberry preserves for a cool lady from "down south" who has been Lep Trekking like crazy recently. I also managed to score a nice big bottle of laundry detergent for TBB. TSSB I would have gotten you some stuff too but I don't know what you use - you'll have to give me a list some time so I know what to look for. :) For Chi, I was able to score two cases of diced tomatoes for the curry he likes to make, three boxes of the sugar packets he likes, and some instant tea mix. The rest of the stuff amounted to several bottles of body wash, a bunch of kitchen/bathroom cleaner, and beaucoup de air fresheners. All in all, I would say what I got would have cost upwards of $200 if I would have purchased it at the store. Not bad for a days "shopping". LOL As fed up as I can get with my job, it does have its perks. :)
Friday night I went visiting again. My auntie had come into town for a few days too so I wanted to be able to see here when she was here. After we ate, my cousin, her daughters, and I all went over to the balloon field. There weren't a lot of balloons that took off from the field (most of them were flying in from another location) but we did get to see some. They were doing a baggy drop and attempting to pull the flags off the poles again. Unfortunately, none of the pilots were as lucky as they were the other night. Most of them missed the target entirely and no one got the flags. After all the balloons had gone over the field and or landed, they started setting up for another night glow where spectators could be on the field to watch. There were five balloons that had actually landed on the field and kept their balloon up for this event. Once they were settled, that's when everyone got to go out and get up close and personal with the pilots and their crew. We were listening to this one guy talk about the cost of a balloon and he basically said you can get your basic balloon for about $15000 - $20000 but if you want something more custom and intricate, it could cost you as much as $75000. OUCH!
As the rest of the balloonists were returning to the field, my cousin and I started wondering where J Man (my eldest nephew who had been crewing) was and if "his" balloon would be one of the ones setting up. A few minutes after our comments about the subject, we looked up and to our surprise, "his" crew was right there in front of us getting ready to put up the balloon. If you want to see the pictures from that night, please visit this link. My nephew is the one in the dark blue shirt that says Great Britain on it. Sorry for the poor picture quality on some of them. There were some people that decided to be rude by getting in my way and stuff.
Yesterday, I got 11 hours of wonderful rest (had to catch up from the past week) but it it also brought about a real dammitdammitsonofabitch moment. I went to get some cleaner out from under the kitchen sink and something didn't look right. The bottles towards the back looked like they were sinking. When I pulled them out, I discovered there was a puddle of water under them and the wood underneath had been completely bowed. At first I couldn't figure out what happened but after five minutes, I had the problem sussed out. The hose that leads to the spray nozzle had decided to come loose enough to just break the seal which meant everytime the water was turned on, it would drip back down into the cabinet. I was NOT a happy camper when I found out about this. I mean the thing is only three years old and has hardly even been used. It only solidifies my thought that this place should rightfully be deemed The Money Pit. It's sad when you fork over nearly $200000 for a house these days and crap like this happens because the workmanship and materials used are so cheap. I mean I had thought about redoing the cabinets at some point but not this early on - CHRIST!
And now for something completely different.....
As you know, I had to move this blog because of some wack who wouldn't leave me alone. Well, I found out the dumbass had put this on his blog. I'm 99% sure he was referring to me (this isn't the first time the asshat has done this sort of thing WAY after the fact).
"When a relationship ends, you're automatically removed from the "sending the bday card" and the "holiday occasion gift giving" list. Just be happy with an E-Card (if I care to remember). And hey, look at it this way, E-Card is better than no card. Besides, I don't expect anything for my bday and/or holiday occasions."
This just shows how delusional this person is. He obviously thinks that we had a relationship. Um "word to the mutha" dipshit - we were aquaintances at best. We never met, we never even talked on the phone. We chatted online for a couple of years and sent text messages. You decided to be a dick with your lies and try to play me for a fool. I forgave you once and you continued to play your game so I wrote you off. What the hell makes you think I'm going to be concerned about getting a card or a music CD you made from you? Wake up and blow your ego out your ass buttwad, you aren't all that!
Ok, I feel better now so I'm off like a dirty shirt.
Til next time......

Some more about earlier this week and a humorous blonde moment
Exercise: None - no time or energy this evening.
So here it is Thursday already and I've still got things to tell about from the beginning of the week.
TSSB and I didn't make it back home until 6am Monday morning. It was actually more like 6:30 for me because that's the time I got to my house. TBB had a fish crisis that required a 3am run to Wally World which put us behind. I had planned to meet Chi for lunch at 11:30 which meant getting up by 9:30 so I had 3 hours of sleep at best. The weird part is I didn't feel all that sleepy or tired until the moment I laid down. I had even contemplated going out for a run (yes, you read that right - a run) rather than going to bed. I knew that wouldn't be in my best interest though because I had a full day ahead of me so I laid down instead.
9:30 came way too fast but I managed to get up, get ready, and make it downtown by 11:30 for lunch. Some of Chi's coworkers (the usual bar gang except for 1) and a wife of one of them joined us so it was a good time. PIB (one of the two overly obnoxious ones) kept trying to unsuccessfully steal my cell phone so I had to put him in his place a couple of times. I was also given the low down on how much crap my husband had been packing away at work. From what I was told, someone had given him some left over Easter candy that he wasted no time digging into and he also had a piece of two different cakes that were brought in all before lunch. At the restaurant he ate a full plate of pasta and had two (count em TWO) desserts! I'm guessing he also guzzled down at least one 32oz mug of coffee too. The totally sick part of this.....he's just over 6' tall and weighs all of 130lbs. BASTARD!
After I left his office, I headed to my parents' house to meet up with my mom, cousins, and eldest nephew. I swear my mom is becoming more and more scatter brained the older she gets. Sometimes I have to wonder if it is an early sign of Alzheimer's or something - kinda scary to think about. I had told her I was having lunch with The Englishman and would be there between 1 and 2. She said, "Ok. We'll be here." I arrive and the only one at the house other than furbaby Sadie is my nephew. He told me that the rest of them had taken off about an hour earlier to tour a tv station that a woman my mom knows works at. I was a little perturbed when he told me that since my mom had actually been the one who invited me to visit and plans were made for a specific time. Later when she got home she said something about she was going to invite me but she knew I was going to lunch and didn't know if I would be able to make it so she decided not to call. Gee thanks mom!
When my nephew and I went over to the balloon field the last time I visited, he had asked about being on a crew. When I saw him Monday, he said that he signed up and had actually gone out that morning. He told me that it was lots of fun but also lots of hard work. I can imagine so since you are talking about launching something that when packed up on the ground weighs a couple of tons and when inflated is about the same height as an eight story building. Anyway, here's a pic of the balloon he is helping out with. I can't remember the guy's name but I do know that he is from Houston, TX.
Later Monday evening when the balloons started to go up again, my cousin, her daughter, and I walked over to the balloon field to watch the last few launch and the "competitors" come in from an offsite location. The challenge that evening was to pull a flag off a pole and knock it down. They were also dropping small sandbags on a large orange X target to score points. The first two to come in each got a pole down but no one got the third. There was also at least one or two that got their "baggy" almost dead center on the X. We also got to see my nephew's balloon which is when I got the pic. The pilot didn't really have a chance at one of the poles but he did do a decent drop. When all the balloons taking off from the field had cleared, the fire truck they keep "on hand" took off which was a little odd. We couldn't see anything and thought maybe it was going to an emergency elsewhere. As it turned out, I heard on the news the next day that one of the balloons came down a little too low and got snared in some powerlines that run along the west side of the field which is why the truck took off. Thankfully the balloon wasn't actually up in the air and no one got hurt although it sounded like it must have spooked the pilot quite a bit since it was said he is thinking about not returning next year. Funny....he won't return to a place where there have been a handful of minor accidents in the 30 some years my hometown has hosted the races but I bet he'll be going to the other places where they have had MAJOR incidences including death. I've got some other pictures from that evening but I will post them later after I go through them. I'm hoping that I will make it back there tomorrow evening for one more flight so I can get a few more pics. :)
And now for something completely different.......
I pulled a totally blonde moment. On Saturday, Chi changed the oil in my car for me and then spent all day thoroughly detailing it. Lot of good it did since it rained Sunday on the way to the concert, then a little on Monday and Tuesday morning when I was on my way to work. I swear someone ratted me out to the rain God or something - BASTARD! Anyway....Every time Chi changes my oil, he will rev the engine until it redlines. I know this really isn't too bad for the car and supposedly helps to push out any clogs that might be in there but I just tend to cringe every time I hear it done especially since my car isn't getting any younger if ya know what I mean.
Well, Sunday when I took off to pick up TSSB, I couldn't help but notice that the accelerator felt strange and the car just didn't seem to have the same get up and go that it did before. I was a little worried because we were about to embark on a two hour drive and I didn't want us to get stranded anywhere. By the time I got to TSSB's house, I decided to chance it and ask Chi if there was maybe something that could have happened when he was revving the engine. Although things felt a little weird, the car seemed to drive fine so I thought maybe it was just all in my head kinda like when people think a car feels different after someone else has driven it.
When I met Chi for lunch, I mentioned it to him but he didn't think there was anyway what he had done could have caused the problem but he did say that he may have gotten some water on the spark plugs so that could be causing the sluggish feeling. By the next day it seemed a little better so I thought maybe that was all it was but the peddle still felt funny. Tuesday on my way home from work when I was stopped at a light, I decided to take a look down at the peddle to see if I could spot anything wrong. It was kind of cramped so it wasn't the easiest thing to do. When I took a gander, I could only see half the peddle and immediately thought, "What the hell???" I looked back up and moved with traffic to the next light where I was stopped and took the time to look again. It was then that I discovered what the problem had been all along. Somehow when the floor mat was put back in the car, it got adjusted so the edge of it was covering the left half of the accelerator peddle. As soon as I moved it back into its correct position and stepped on the gas to go it took off like a bat out of hell. LMAO I can't believe I hadn't taken the time to more closely inspect down there when I first thought something was wrong. Yep, I had my worst blonde moment yet! LOL
Alright...I'm outtie. One more day of work for the week. Tomorrow is store room clean up day so hopefully we will get some killer samples. :)
Til next time.....

Yup - Hell has finally frozen over!
**My brother's 42 birthday - damn he's getting old! LOL**
Exercise: None - I took a nap so I could catch up on the sleep I missed over the weekend.
So I ended up going to see Bryan Adams and Def Leppard in Davenport, IA even though I originally said I was going to give it (and the tour itself) a miss. It's all thanks to the arm twisters a.k.a. The Bitchy Babe and The South Side Boyfriend. In the end, I was glad I went but I should have known when I discovered I forgot to grab my Best Of CD I brought for autographs out of the car before we left things weren't going to go smoothly.
We arrived at John O'Donnell Stadium around 5pm I think it was - about an hour later than we intended to. The line was a mile long at that point and we sort of wondered if we would have even a remote chance of getting close to the stage. We would have got there sooner, however, TBB wanted to make G Baby a t-shirt with the pictures of her and a couple of the guys on it but she had to wait until I got to her house because I had the transfer paper. We also make a couple of quick pit stops for food and so Steph could get some cigs.
As we were standing in line, these two security guards came walking by and saw my camera case. They told me that if I had a digital, it wouldn't be allowed in - only disposables and regular 35mm with no high power zoom lens. WTF? I told them the case was my purse (which it was) and the hell if I am leaving an $800 camera in the car to possibly be stolen. They said, "Ok but they will search you when you go in. We're just warning you ahead of time." I told them that I didn't care and they walked off.
When we got up towards the gate, sure enough some bitch asks about my bag. I told her that it was my purse so she makes me open it which was fine with me since I had shit packed on top of the camera but, unlike everyone else who had a bag, I had to empty the contents of mine. Again I say WTF? She said something about the camera being digital and me being the honest person I am tell her the truth - it's a 35mm digital with no special lens or zoom capability. I thought maybe that would get them off my back since they were letting regular 35mm through - WRONG! She told me, "No digitals." - what a fucking crock!!! Like taking a picture with a 35mm film camera is going to make that much difference if you know what you are doing (and well the recording feature is worthless because what am I going to do with only enough space for 5 minutes?). I told her the same thing I told the other guys about my concern with leaving it in the car and promised that I wouldn't use it if it was that big of a deal. Hell I told her she could send a security person with me if she didn't trust me because all I wanted to do was to protect my property. That was when she said, "If I make an exception for you, I have to make an exception for everyone." At that point, I should have said, "What about the exceptions you have already made with all the ones you have let in so far?" but I was too pissed off to think that clearly. She called the head cheese security guy over to talk to me about it and I go through a similar dialogue with him. He told me the only way I can take it in is if I give him the battery. Um, I don't fuckin think so! It wouldn't have been an issue if it were a regular type of battery (which is stupid because if it were, do they not think I could have easily smuggled another one of those in if I thought there was a chance of having the battery taken? DUH!) but it wasn't. I'm then told I either have to put it in the car or I can't enter. It was then that I told him he could give me my damn money back. Being the typical asshat that only knows how to be a pest until he would actually have to do some work, he tells me that he can't help me with that and that I will have to speak to someone at the window about it. "Ok. FINE!" With that, I took off to get my money back.
TBB and TSSB suggested that I put the camera in the trunk of the car where it wouldn't be seen. TBB got her digital through. She had a small backpack type of bag and all they did was have her open it and look on top - BASTARDS! Gee, I guess I should have taken my small bag and there wouldn't have been an issue. Silly me to think someone wouldn't want a bag sticking them in the chest all night and that putting it in a smaller bag would work better in a crowded setting. Knowing that more than likely I would have to pry the cash out of someone's cold dead hand in order to get it back, I decided to put the camera in the trunk as much as I really didn't want to.
I pulled the other stuff out of my bag and started handing it through the fence to TBB and TSSB. One of the first fuck nuggets that opened his trap when I was still standing in line came over and started spazzing saying, "You can't take digital cameras in." By now I was so completely pissed off that I wanted to knock his block off. I turned to him with an angry expression on my face and said in a very nasty tone, "I KNOW! I've got other stuff I need to keep with me and no way to carry it. They are taking it for me!" (fuckwad was added to the end of that in my mind). He said, "Ok ok sorry." My thought - Yah, you'll think sorry when I report your fuckin ass for being so damn rude when you could see exactly what I was doing.
When I came back from the car, I saw the same guy standing there and I said, "Are you going to get me in because I'll be damned if I'm going to wait in that line (which was longer than when we joined it) again!" He said he would and he did. Holy mother of Christ - the guy actually did something helpful. Must have killed him.
What really just put the icing on the cake was when I went through security the second time. I had the windbreaker jacket I bought in NYC with me. It was in the little matching bag that came with it and when I passed through, the guy wanted to look in it. I told him it was a jacket and he could squeeze it if he wanted to. What does he do? He chuckles and says no that's ok, go on through. WTFH? Let me get this straight, you don't question or search something that could have potentially had a knife or some other weapon in it but you make a big production out of a fucking camera? Oh yah, that makes a ton of sense. Hell, had I known that and if the bag had been just a little bit bigger, I would have wrapped the camera in the jacket when I went to the car and carried it in under their noses. Man Per Mar Security has a bunch of totally fucked up people working for it!
When I got back in the gate, TSSB was waiting for me and told me that TBB along with G baby already went in to secure us a spot by the stage. I was really surprised because even though we weren't anywhere near the front of the line, there didn't seem to be a ton of people on the field in front of the stage - at least not off to the sides. We ended up about three "rows" back right in front of where Phil would eventually be.
The first guy (Randy Coleman) came on and did his set. Decent music but sort of an odd match up with the other two acts because it was just him and his guitar player and the music itself seemed fairly mellow. It was the kind of stuff I wouldn't mind listening to at work but not really anything I would care to see in concert. Judging by the crowd, I don't think it was verly excited about him but you have to admire the guy for giving it a try and following through with something many people only get to dream about doing.
Next up was Bryan Adams - the one I had really come to see. Not that I didn't want to see DL, I just hadn't ever seen BA before and love his music. Lemme tell you for a guy that has been out there as long as he has and is starting to push 50, you would never know it based on his performance. He was fantastic and made all of the pissed off feelings I had about the camera issue melt away. At one point, he even pulled a girl up from the crowd to sing a song with him which I thought was neat. Afterward he gave her and her dad free goodies and let them watch the rest of the show from the side of the stage. I only wish he would have been out signing autographs afterward because I really would have liked to have met him.
Like BA, Lepp came out, kicked ass, and took names. IMO, they looked so much more refreshed and full of energy unlike the last tour. I thought they appeared a little tired and worn down during X. I think Mr. E may have even lost a little weight too but unfortunately he has yet to lose those nasty leather pants. LOL
The only things I would have changed when it came to their set is adding a couple songs to the list (MLLAM & Slang at the very least), turning down the bass on a few songs in which it overpowered everything else, and I would have nixed the clips of half naked women on the big screen. I know most guys go for that sort of thing but more often than not, it's nothing but a turn off for us women. At least the images were meshed with others so it wasn't totally in your face porn.
I was also reminded of one of the biggest downfalls to outdoor venues during the muggy summer months here in Iowa - moths and other little pests who seem to relish the site of humans in misery because of their beastly ways. Even Mr. E made some comment about it stating that he had already had a dinner of a few moths and mosquitoes. He said they had a remedy for them called Off but that another word should be put in front of it. LOL I couldn't help but laugh, however, I think the little bastards sought me out later for revenge because I ended up swallowing one. YUCK! I swear I was hacking up a lung for the next 10 minutes because of it.
After the show, TBB and I walked back toward the concession area to meet TSSB (his back was hurting so he had left the crowd to find some place to sit down - such an old man he is. LOL). We were also dying of thirst so stopped to get some water. At least the guy at the stand was willing to give it to us for free. We also stopped for a few minutes so TBB could talk to someone she knew from being online. As we were on our way to the buses we thought were for the band, TBB & TSSB stopped at the merchandise trailer just outside the gate. While they were there, I went out to the car to rescue my camera. Leaving it there all evening just didn't set well with me - oh and that ordeal at the gate before the show - total BULLSHIT! The minute Bryan Adams & Def Lep hit the stage, everyone, their grandmas, aunts, and uncles whipped out their digital (yes, I wrote DIGITAL) cameras and started taking pictures. Not one of the Per Mar security guys who could plainly see what they were doing and the type of camera they had said a fucking word. You can't even begin to imagine how pissed off I was and the kind of letter to Per Mar that I was starting to draft in my head concerning that and the issue with the rough treatment of the people they were pulling out of the crowd. BASTARD ASSHATS!
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes - the merchandise place outside the gate. TBB wanted to get G baby a shirt and I left to get the camera. When I came back, TSSB was standing just outside the gate but I didn't see TBB anywhere. He told me that she had to go back in to get the shirt because they didn't have the right size at the first place. Not long after I got back, she and the kiddo met up with us again. We walked out of the gate and TBB told us that DL's security dude talked to her about G baby and ended up not only telling her the band's busses were actually back behind the stadium but the best way to get back there. Of course we wasted no time walking around where the guy had told us to go.
We were probably back there for about a half hour when Vivian came to see us with Rick and Phil following shortly after. I already had pictures with them and autographs so I just kind of stood back and became the designated picture taker for our group. I didn't go unnoticed though. I had on a Chelsea football shirt and Vivian approached me saying, "Hey there Chelsea girl!". That just made me laugh. He told me that he was actually born in Chelsea and lived there for a very short time but didn't really remember anything because he was so little. I then told him about my ties to Chelsea and that my mother in law who lives in Reading usually will send me a jersey every year. What was really funny is that I think he was puzzled as hell as to why I wasn't asking for a signature or picture from him but too afraid to ask. LOL
At first G baby wasn't so sure about meeting the guys. They immediately took to her and loved the shirt we made for her but like with most people, she was very shy at first then warmed up to them after a few minutes. Malvin was the exception - she seemed to take to him right away. Honestly, I think he was a little smitten with her too and the picture of them together shows it. Joe finally came out to talk to us after the others had been there awhile. It shocked the shit out of TBB and I because out of all the times we met the band together last tour, he only came out once. What was even more shocking was how happy he appeared to be (maybe it had something to do with it being his birthday and the undisclosed liquid he had in his cup. LOL). The one and only time I had met the man before, he just seemed to be in a foul mood. Of course the pain he probably was in becuase of his shoulder and the drugs he was taking at the time may have had something to do with that. Anyway, he said he wanted to do autographs first and then pictures. I think he had maybe gotten two pics in when Malvin started his little count. I thought, "Shit, I'm going to miss my chance again because of a little Welsh man who is on a strict time schedule!". Luckily TBB caught Joe as he was leaving and asked him to take a picture with G baby. I snapped it and when he got up, I asked if he would make an exception for me since I didn't already have a picture with him. He was very nice and said, "No need to make an exception, I thought I got you." FINALLY, (and this is the reason for the title of this post) I got my picture with Joe that I had been trying to get for years (check TBB's blog for it). Now if only Sav would come out once, I could complete my collection. For awhile we thought maybe he would come over because there weren't very many of us and he was standing by the bus where we could see him but he didn't. That's ok though, I can understand the reasons why he may not have wanted to. Once I got my picture, the guys were off and so were we.
All I can say is that at least the end result of the night more than outweighed the beginning of it. :) I'm actually looking forward to possibly making another concert of theirs rather than having an the apathetic attitude about it that I did before I went.
Alrighty then, it's time for me to be off. It's already taken me two days to write this up. LOL
Til next time....
