It's so hot I'm on fire!

Happy Monkey Monday!

Happy Monkey Monday!

Do you notice what's missing?   No doodle today. Does that make you happy?  Well, I'll get to doing more in case you miss em.  Hehe.

I spent most of the weekend in my friend's pool.   Was oppressively hot here, as I'm sure it has been everywhere.  The great part of this ...is........I don't have to get dressed for work and trudge into the city and sweat myself to death during the commute!  :-) 

I haven't been reading many blogs of late so I apologize if I haven't been to see you lately.  I'm just not on the computer much as of late.  But I'll be visiting soon.   So in the meantime, I wish you cool breezes, A/C and laughter!

Nude Runner

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One
rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her
husband's car pull into the driveway.
"Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My
husband's home early!"
"I can't jump out the window. It's raining out there!"
"If my husband catches us in here, he'll kill us both!" she replied.
He's got a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your
problems!"
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the
window!
As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly discovered he
had
run right into the middle of the town's annual marathon, so he started
running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in
as
best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had been
watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer.

"Do you always run in the nude?" one asked.
"Oh yes!" he replied, gasping in air. "It feels so wonderfully free!"

Another runner moved a long side. "Do you always run carrying your clothes
with you under your arm?"
Oh, yes" our friend answered breathlessly. "That way I can get dressed right
at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!

Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, "Do you always
wear a condom when you run?"

"Nope........just when it's raining."

No Doodle Day

I don't have my doodle ready today.  I'll have to draw it and post it at a later date....I know, I know you were all looking forward to my work of art...and I'm sorry to disappoint you...ahahahaha.

Oh just so you know, the path of grief does not get better as time goes on....it's different, but not better....I've learned that I'm still walking in the wilderness.....I don't know when I'll come out into the sunlight again.....but I do see glimpses of light......I've joined a Bereavement Support Group...and it's the best thing I've done so far.  I'm really working on myself but I do have my mini breakdowns still...I just never know when they'll hit.  I miss him terribly.   

One thing I haven't lost tho, is my sense of humor.....he would want it that way.  

I'm off to a pool party/bbq today.   It's going to be super hot.   So I'll probably stay in the pool all day.  Here's a test to keep you busy:

So to keep you all busy in the meantime....find out who/what/why about yourself and take the tests!!!

You Are Disco Dancing

You are very energetic and lively. You could dance all night. Fun loving and social, you like dancing best when everyone in the room is dancing. You love to dance to anything, and it's hard to stop once you start. You love dancing in a crowd. And no matter how big the crowd, all eyes are usually on you.

What Dance Are You?

(I really dance like Elaine in Seinfeld, if any of you have ever seen that epidsode! hahahaha)

You Are Barbeque Sauce

You are a social person. You enjoy cooking for other people. You are both skillful and competitive. You enjoy mastering hard tasks. You appreciate complexity more than simplicity. Your taste in food tends to lean toward interesting flavors. You appreciate exotic spice combinations. You tend to like cutting edge, fusion cuisine. You get along with all personalities from a distance. Except salsa personalities, who always seem to annoy you.

What Condiment Are You?

Happy Dance Friday!!!!!!!

Since I've been to the beach a number of times lately and have strolled on the boardwalk, it just got me thinking of those days...long ago and far away.....Enjoy your weekend!

Ruby Tuesday

The Teach sponsors Ruby Tuesday, where we post a picture of something red. The picture has to be one that you took. Here's mine for this week.

Walking along Central Park I noticed this Evil Clown. I turned around to take a pic and he gave me the one finger salute!!! Just proves my theory about clowns....... especially the ones who wear red shoes!!!!! Aarrgghh!!!!!!!!!!!! (I'm wondering if the lady in the hat was his girlfriend). The one in the middle, I'm not too sure how he fits in.

Happy Monkey Monday!

Happy Monkey Monday!

I need some sleep. 

 You know how dogs are supposed to be afraid of fireworks, and they get all sorts of nervous and quiet and hide?   Not Snotdog!  He thinks he can conquer the world when the fireworks start!  He thinks they're the enemy and he's out to get them.  He barks so much he loses his bark!  But that doesn't stop him!  Just when you think he's barked his lil snot head off,  and you're ready to fall into dreamland, more fireworks and more barking!  

ALL.NIGHT.LONG.

So how was your weekend?

Peace

Happy Birthday America

2 Joke Day

(1)

(2) The Republican Fisherman

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude
and spots a man fishing from a boat below.
She shouts to him, 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I
would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am.'
The man consults his portable GPS and replies, 'You're in a hot air
balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea
level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.0
9 minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says, 'You must be a Republican!'

'I am,' replies the man. 'How did you know?'

''Well,' answers the balloonist, 'everything you tell me is technically
correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm
still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me.'

The man smiles and responds, 'You must be a Democrat.'

'I am,' replies the balloonist. 'How did you know?'

'Well,' says the man, 'You don't know where you are or where you're going.
You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You
made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to
solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we
met, but, somehow, now it's my fault.

My boss has a car collection in his office. When I retired he gave me this one. It's not the red convertible that I wanted, but I appreciated it nonetheless. But I forgot what it is...lol. Can anyone tell me what type of car and year it is?

Shine On!/Monkey Monday

Happy Monkey Monday! May your basket be full! :-)

I saw this little award at A Life with A View,
and loved it! "Shine On" is one of my favorite sayings! So I thought it appropriate to pass this along to all of you because you've all been my shining stars of late and my wish for all of you is to
"SHINE ON"

3 Question Meme

Paul, from Shadow of Diogenes, tagged me with this three question tag:

Q1)  What is your favorite novel ?

(Q2)  Who is your favorite author ?

(Q3)  Do you prefer fiction or non fiction ?

I honestly have to admit that I really don't have a favorite novel.  I can say that the novel that impressed me the most when I was young was Little Women.   And I always read the Nancy Drew Detective series. Also the Hardy Boys.  lol.

Later in life I read every book I got my hands on....both fiction and non fiction.  I think I've read every self help book ever published.  When I was in school I loved philosophy.

I love to read and read lots of books now.  Mostly fiction.  I pick my books through friend's recommendations or if it looks interesting, I buy it.   This is how I am with music too.  Don't ask me who sang it or who wrote it, if it sounds good to me, that's enough.

Wordzzle #3

Raven sponsors Wordrzzzle every weekend.  She offers up the words and we make up the stories!

The ten words for this week are:  

Fabulous, aristocrat, tricycle, soft summer breeze, cat litter, silver-tongued devil, curtain rod, lilacs, Abraham Lincoln, garbage can.

Here's my third one.  I'm just having fun with it.

"Simply fabulous", Meek the aristocrat squealed as he eyed his brand new purple and pink tricycle!  You see, he couldn't ride a two wheeled bike nor could he drive a car. (Not to mention the fact that cars weren't even invented yet.)

He hopped on and pedaled away, allowing the soft summer breeze to kiss his face.  All of a sudden his bike hit a patch in the rode that set him sailing head over heals over the handle bars but landing in a soft, scratchy patch of cat liter???   Lifting himself up and checking that nothing was broken, he thought to himself "What the heck is this? Why is cat liter being used to pave the road???"  He looked around to see if he somehow took the wrong turn and wound up in the middle of a cat farm or something. His attention was drawn to his mangled tricycle and he became very sad.  "What am I supposed to do now?" he thought.  

All of a sudden he heard a hissing laugh and turned around and lo and behold, there stood Abraham Lincoln.  Meek thought it was strange that he was carrying a curtain rod and was dressed up like a silver tongued devil!  But hey, stranger things have happened, like being stopped short and thrown in the air by a road of cat liter.

Meek asked Mr. Abe if he was going to help him get out this mess.   Abe threw his head back and laughed, then pointed over to the garbage can.  You see, his curtain rod was really a magic wand and when he pointed it at the can thousands of lilacs began to bloom!

Abe told Meek that if he took those lilacs and placed them on top of the cat liter, a new road would appear.   

So that's what Meek did and sure enough, the road turned back into one that was smooth and tricyclable. (I made that word up).   He was told to sprinkle the lilacs on his trike and that too came back to life.  Meek was thrilled and turned to thank Abe...but he was gone.  All that was left was the magic curtain rod!  Meek took the rod and placed it over his handle bars and rode all the way back to his village.  

The villagers rejoiced and everyone lived happily ever after.

Happy Dance Friday!!!!!!!

Ladders and Me

Remember a while back I told you about my carpenter bees?  Well, the "bee control people", while they were up on the roof, informed me that my gutters were really gunky and should probably be cleaned out.   So being the independent person I am, I thought I'd have a look. I also thought I could take a hose and swish out all that gunk myself.

So I take a ladder and plant it firmly in the flower bed. (yeah yeah, shaddup).  That's where the spout was that I needed to blast the water down!   I climb the ladder with the hose over my shoulder.  I take a look in the gutter and see that yes indeed, they certainly were gunky!  I shoot the hose down the spout thinking that everything will now just flow out.  Easy, right?  Wrong!

But what do I know?  I've never done this in my life.  And of course, I don't ask advice or even look it up on the internet as to how to go about this.   Ok, so now I think I better call the professionals in.  I conceded that I can't handle this one and start to descend the ladder (the one I had firmly planted in the flower bed).  The ladder starts to tilt to the right.  Uh oh.  I throw the hose down and think quickly!  slowly tilting.....Shit!    I get down to the third rung from the bottom and jump!  It was a wide jump too because I didn't want to land in the flower bed and ruin the flowers so I tried to jump over them.  I tripped over the edge of the flower bed and did a slow roll into the bushes.   I banged up my knee a little, but I don't think there's any major damage.   

How do I feel about all this?  I feel like a dope and now know that I should probably call the professionals first!

And how was your day?

The Fountain of Youth

I'm getting tired of the ads on my yahoo mail that say I can look like I did in 1998!!!

You know them...you pass your mouse over the wrinkled lady that looks like she's 109 and all of sudden, she's 18 again!!!!! ( They never have men in those ads....I wonder why, don't they get wrinkled??? Ha, we all know they do.)

Well, I've been rubbing my mouse all over my face every single day since I've seen that ad. And let me tell you, it just doesn't work!!! That's right...nope, no way Jose. I still look the same....not that I look all that bad to begin with, but there's a few crows feet I'd like to erase. I'm just letting you know so y'all don't fall for it. Don't even bother.

I'm writing my Congressman....(oh wait, he's being brought up on charges)....

Face It

I was reading an article in the Sunday paper and came across an article about a site that tells you what people think of your looks. Facestat.com is a Web site that sells "market research for the individual" and it is based solely on looks. So I sent them a recent picture of me (from my retirement party) to get an assessment of what the average person thinks of my looks. They warned that it could get brutal and is not for the thin skinned.... At my age, my skin is pretty thick.

Here's what a panel of judges said about my photo:

describe

glowing, partied, ...

attractive

not bad

ethnicity

Caucasian / White

political affiliation

liberal

gender

female

trustworthy

maybe untrustworthy

age

42

Here's some other words used: Loopy, happy, bad-hair, wildwoman, partied, fibromyalgia(LMAO), curly sue, bright, needit, firey, trashy, goofy, ferocious, glowing, creepy, overdone, red, loud.

Well, I'm not liberal, and I am trustworthy, I don't have fibromyalgia, I do have curly, red and big hair (I just go with what God gave me). I can be loopy and goofy. I don't think I'm creepy. I do needit. I do glow at times ;-). I am firey and look out if you mess with me I am ferocious, Overdone? I don't know. If they're talking about my jewelry then yes definitely. And I did party in my day. BUT THE GREATEST THING THEY SAID WAS I LOOKED 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 42! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read that again....42!!!! (I'm not 42). So say anything you want but call me 42 and I'll love ya!!!!!

Peace

(P.S. I'm going to see Jimmy Buffet tonight!!! )

Jabba the Cat

For all those who have cats: Be advised that I used to be the proud owner of Jabba. He was a great cat! I adopted him from one of my friends who couldn't keep him and my hub fell in love with him. Jabba used to "jab" (box) with hub. He was a big, strong cat and we both loved him.

Unfortunately, Jabba took ill, got diabetes and had congestive heart failure! He was only 7 years old. We missed him a lot. Now Snotdog is here! ;-)

Wordzzle

Raven, from "Views from Raven's Nest" has offered up a challenge that she calls "wordzzles".  She gives us between 8 and 10 words/phrases and we are asked to create a small but coherent paragraph using each and every word.  This is my second attempt at this.  It's fun!

The words for this week's 10-word challenge are:

Spaghetti

Larkspar

Prilosec

Roaring lion

adament

Green green grass of home

paradox

filibuster

face cream

trout fishing

Mr. Crow was getting really angry now. (yes crows get angry).  He flew down and swooped the spaghetti off of the plate of the two young lovers at the outdoor cafe, flew with it all the way home, only to get it all tangled up in the larkspur blooming under his tree!  Damn, where was his Prilosec when he needed it?

Mrs. Crow was adamant about having spaghetti tonight.  So much so she scarred every bird from the tree by screeching like a roaring lion:  "Hey Crowdaddy...I see you've gotten our dinner all tangled up in that thar larkspur again"! Her filibuster on the subject made Mr. Crow reach for his Prilosec again!

"Oh", Mr. Crow lamented, "What I wouldn't give to see the green, green grass of home once more". "Wait a minute", he thought, "wouldn't I'd rather see the green, green leaves of the trees?"  Such a paradox!   This got him thinking back to his youth, watching the humans trout fishing along the shore and waiting to pounce on their catch.  He sighed in contentment.

He was suddenly snapped out of his daydream by a face-creamed Mrs. Crow demanding her spaghetti dinner!!!!

The End

Peace

Happy Dance Friday!!!!!!!

Happy Dance Friday!!!
For some strange reason, I just love this song. I have it as a ringtone on my cell phone (I'm so mature) lol. It just makes me want to dance and I play it quite often. Gets the old bones moving.
