OK, so my sorry excuse for a joke didn't win any comments...I'm feeling the love...wah.....I guess if I go I won't be missed, sniff! = ) Alright, I'm just fishing for a lovefest... But enough about me! Where in the world is Shovelheat? Where did he go, when did he leave? I went to his blog and there's nothing there! When did this happened and how in the world did no one say something! Joe, I hope you're ok. I had no clue you were gonna go for good? Am I going to h...

Sometimes I feel like a Fraud. Fraud is perhaps not the right word to use as it implies that I’m a liar, or a fake or something negative. It’s just that I present this air of calm and peacefulness most of the time. As if all is well in my world when it’s really not. Most of what I deem as “my problems” is really not as catastrophic as I tend to think they are. Not compared to other people’s problems anyway. Mine are perhaps simpler, but they are mine and they do tend to make me worr...

Have you ever had one of those days, when you feel as if you’re wearing the wrong clothes and no matter what you do you’re not going to feel comfortable in them for the entire day? Well that’s what’s happening to me right now. I’m wearing the wrong clothes. Oh yes, they are mine, however, this is not what I wanted to wear today. I wanted to wear Thursday’s clothes. Do you know what I mean? The clothes you wear to work on the day before the last day of the week. You do know what...

I’m sitting at my office desk right now and it looks pretty cluttered. I have a poster board with pictures of family, and various telephone numbers and a print out reminding me to “Calm Down---Shut-up—And Quit Trippin”! Yeah, sometimes I need to be reminded! LOL! Then I have the various files sitting haphazardly awaiting my touch. I also have three framed pictures, one or two stuffed mascots, some figurines that were a gift from a client who visited with us recently – a coffee mug, I do...

Here's a jingle from me to you. [reposting from an email I received!] ______________________________________________ T'was the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. The leftovers beckoned The dark meat and white, But I fought the temptation With all of my might. Tossing and tu...

I like a nice warm bath. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles that smell really good. A nice warm bath with lots of bubbles that smell really, really good! Har, har…let me stop! No really I do enjoy a nice bath. And especially when I take a nice warm, delicious smelling bath with my other half….well, need I say more?! However, I really, really, really, LOVE to take showers! A nice, long, warm, spa-like shower. It gives me time to reflec...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINE A.K.A. XTINE!!! Your Astrological sign says: Libra 23September- 23 October Always struggling to keep peace and harmony in their lives, Libras try ducking out of an argument, avoid taking a side in an argument or saying something that might hurt someone. They'd much rather switch that fight which leads them to be accommodating, diplomatic and solution seeking individuals. In order to keep the balance and peace in their lives they switch positio...

I read with a little sadness about what is happening to a lady who I knew distantly when I worked in New York, Brooke Astor. She’s a very wealthy woman and has made many contributions to different charities and universities and at the time was pretty active lady in her society. I even had the opportunity to meet her and she is a gentle soul. Apparently her son is accused of siphon off her money for his own interests. His own son accused him of not taking care of grandma. Now they a...

Have you ever wondered about some people’s signature, how they sign their name? I have! Yes, I have nothing better to do with my time uh?! Yeah right! I just wondered at it because I’ve seen two signatures where I couldn’t even make out the first names of the persons signing the document. What use is a signature if no one can even tell that it is you? I don’t understand it. I know signatures are unique, that’s what’s special about them. It’s your very own personal marker. Howe...

Fridays at work is supposed to be the laid back non hectic day right? At least most of the times. It’s the day before the weekend. Time to let that breath go and breathe a little! Or even time to really catch up on some of the stuff that 'you' have to get done since you've spent a week running around after other people! Oh no. It’s like some people decide that they are actually doing work on a Friday. It’s like they stroll through the rest of the work week and then comes Friday and ...

This must be a crazy day for odd news, or an odd day for crazy news, or I’m just finding the news that soothes my odd, crazy mood at the moment! One thing for sure, it’s making me feel better because I can’t help but laugh at some of these! I’ve listed the links below: Urine (again!) in coffee at work - Link Man on trial for computer theft, steals courthouse computers! - Link Man, drunk, goes into bears cave, got bitten, bites bear in retribution! - Link Ma...

I can’t believe some of the stuff that’s out there. Apparently, there is a new type of road side litter out there. And this one’s a doozy! [Note to Mason, I know you’re not involved in this mess!] You know when you’re on a long trip, and you can’t stop to take a bathroom break, at least not for us women, we have to stop! However, men out there, have the slight advantage over us that they can just grab a bottle and relieve themselves. My hubby used to do it when he was a cab dri...

I realise not too many people post about clothing and stuff like that, unless they're looking for something. I am a lover of fashion, especially accessories. I love handbags, shoes, and jewellery! I like reading up on what's in and what's out and taking what I like and making it my own. I've always been keen on fashion for as long as I can remember. I found some good information on O, The Oprah Magazine on line about accessories. I thought this information on Shoes would be enligh...

Well, the day is practically half over. It was a fun-filled day of enjoyment! I wish I had a camera to take pics but I didn't. And I didn't feel like getting the cellphone (my daughter's or hubby's) to take some although I wanted to, just too lazy to leave the pool! Enough of the beer for the weekend, stretched into today since it was a holiday. And (my English teacher would be very upset with me for beginning a sentence with 'And' but I digress!) I've got to cool it on the beer because...

Why do women want to have perky breasts, whoever said women’s breasts have to be standing at attention? Why is it this the body image stereotype that young girls and we as women use as guidelines to us having a perfect body? Aren’t we making it difficult for ourselves when we do that? Not all women are the same body size, or type for that matter. We come in all different sizes and shapes. Whenever you see one of those makeover shows with a plastic surgeon working on a woman’s breas...
