Snot Dog

I have a dog attached to me. He never leaves my side. Yes my Snot dog is a Momma's boy. He has to have me in his vision at all times or he goes crazy. When he can't see me he hurries thru all the rooms looking for me. He won't eat unless I stand there with him. When I leave for work he gives me the most pathetic look and I'm sure he just sits by the door waiting for me to come home....sad isn't it? He's a great dog, mind you....he loves to play and run and catch balls in his little mouth and bring them back....he loves playing with the neighborhood dogs.....(the one next door humps his face. I must get a video of that.hehe). He's a great lil dog. I'm thinking of getting another one just to keep him company.....but then again, when I think that through...I may not. I wonder if a stuffed lil mutt would have the same effect? What do you think?

Should I get another dog?

Have You Ever Wondered.......

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE


Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool? (My sentiments exactly)



If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one enjoys it?



There are three religious truths: a. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah. b. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian faith. c. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at Hooters.



If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?



If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?



If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?



Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

Flowers for Me.

These are the flowers that are on my desk at work this week. I buy flowers for myself every Monday...

It makes me happy and provides the day with a little less stress. All I have to do is look at the colors of the week there in front of me and it takes my mind off a frustrating moment. They lift my spirits when I'm down. It's something I recommend for everyone. Buy yourself some flowers...bet it makes you feel better!

Awards!!!!!!! :-)

Sweet Patti passed along this over the weekend:
"Quite simply it is those that have a generous and giving nature. Those who care about others. Those who have a kind word to say or a broad shoulder to lean on in the times that others need that. Those who display the "Spirit of Christmas". She's so sweet, loves Christmas and was even born in December!

Well, I think all my blogging buddies have a generous and giving nature and I'm glad they're in my life, if only in blogsville....so I'm going to pass this along to all of you. If you want to post it you can get the code here.


Nice Mike, suprised me with the following this past weekend.......I is hatched!!!! Sweet!

Joke Time

A man had a terrible golf problem, so he went to the club pro for some lessons.

Well, what should I do?", asked the man. "Hold the club gently," the pro replied, "just like you'd hold your wife's breast."

Taking the advice, he took a swing, and POW!, he hit the ball 250 yards straight up the fairway. The ecstatic man went back home telling his wife the good news about his lesson, and, the wife couldn't wait for her lesson.

The next day, the wife went for her lesson. The pro watched her swing and said, "No, no, no, you're gripping the club way too hard." "What can I do?" asked the wife.

"Hold the club gently, just like you'd hold your husband's member."

The wife listened carefully to the pro's advice, took a swing, and, THUMP! -- the ball skipped down the fairway about 15 feet.

"You know, that was a lot better than I expected," the pro said. "Now, take

the club out of your mouth, and, hold it in your hands....."

Sweating and Cooking and Ghosts, Oh My!

It's Tuesday, for those of you that don't know that...But it's my Monday...aarrgghh!

Now I don't want to go on about the hot weather, but I will....we reached record high temperatures yesterday, 90 degrees! They even opened the beaches and called back the lifeguards to work... this is so bizarre. Yes you can bring my attention back to these complaints the minute I blog about the cold and the snow! But hey that's not here yet. I can take it.

I did a lot of cooking this weekend. It's something I love to do for those who don't know that. I just don't take the time for it. I made a roast pork, and a pot of chili. These are Fall foods, by the way, not foods I should be cooking in 90 degree weather, but I digress. I'm cooking more since I had my bout with food poisoning because I'm just sooo afraid to eat anything out. I know this feeling will pass but for now, I feel safer knowing where and how the food was prepared keeps my mind at ease.

Another thing that's strange in this weather is seeing all the Halloween decorations out. I took a long walk last night to look at the displays some people put out. Now I like Halloween and I like the occasional ghost and goblin or witch here and there, but some people just overdo it, in my opinion.

Peace

Ok that's enough for now....See ya tomorrow.

Happy Happy Monkey Monday

Happy Monkey Monday!

It's still hot out here but that's ok since I have off from work! Sorry for those of you that don't have the day off. I'll be thinking of ya! ;-)

It is October isn't is? I do live in the northeast, don't I?
Then why the heck has it been almost 90 degrees here all week? I'm not going to the beach this weekend. I want it to be fall. I want to wear my fall clothes! I'm tired of summer ones. I put them all away! I'm tired of A/C. Woe is me! Ok..that's all for today...I have to go take a shower cause I'm sweating so much!

"The Jezebel Meme"

Mimi, Queenie of Memes, got me. (again).

The rules for The Jezebel Meme:

It's simple. Tell your favorite dance story and pass the groovy beat to five be-bopping bloggers.

I needed to exercise. I hadn't joined a gym yet when I first moved here. I needed some aerobics!

My "little" girlfriend (she's 4'11" and a dynamo to boot) suggested we go country line dancing at a place that had just opened not too far from where we lived. (Remember now, this is NYC, cowboys are just not part of the scenery and the most likely reason you may see someone wearing a cowboy hat is to cover a bald head).

But I had hope that maybe, I would be lassoed up and taken away from it all... to a nice horse ranch somewhere out west, where the buffalo roam and the skies are not cloudy all day......uh huh AND what a perfect opportunity to wear my "purple" snakeskin cowboy boots (yes I had purple cowboy boots, but I shunned the cowgirl hat and the fringed shirt btw). I'd be a cowgirl jezebel!!!!

So I put on my tightest jeans, (not good for movement) my purple boots and a purple low cut tee shirt and off we went to our first country line dance lesson.

We arrived at the "country western bar" and saw a big wooden dance floor with a railing all around. It reminded somewhat of a roller skating rink. The lights were low....I looked over to the bar area...and saw cowboy hats!!! I wonder if they spoke cowboyese. We shashayed over to the bar...me walking proudly in my purple snakeskin cowboy boots, ordered some drinks....I wondered what cowgirls drink. Do they drink? I played it safe and ordered a diet coke with lime. After all, I was here to exercise, not get drunk. (and maybe find my dream cowboy who'd take me away from it all?).

Ok...the lights blinked and turned dim....a signal for the music and dance lessons to start.

We stroll onto the dance floor and out comes Mr. Country Western Dance Instructor. Nice lil butt he had there!)

Music starts....very low. Mr. Country Western Dance Instructor (Mr. CWDI, for short)....tells us all to line up (ergo, "line dancing"?) and begins his instructions to a country western song, of course, but I just don't recall what song it was....Had a catchy lil tune tho....knee slapping, toe tapping kinda tune (oh wait, that's what it was supposed to sound like).....

Here we go: "two heel taps, two toe taps, one heel tap, one toe tap. Tap right heel forward once, tap right toe back once.......yada yada yada........

But wait..I had questions! was that two heel taps and one toe tap or one heel tap and two toe taps? Geeze....this was harder than it looked.

The line moved smoothly. I didn't. "They" all looked like they've been doing it for years. I tried to tell "them" this was my first time ;-( but they paid me no heed. They stepped right past me swung around, and did it again! Damn. What was I thinking. I knew I had no rhythm! I just knew I couldn't do this! Get me the hell out of here before I die of country line dance dysfunction! I slithered away (in my purple snakeskin cowboy boots) to the railing and just stood there....shamed and watched while the world line danced before me, in perfect cowboy rhythm.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a little old man with a grey ponytail sticking out of his "snakeskin" cowboy hat and a short grey beard (He looked almost 80 but was in great shape and had clear blue eyes and the nicest smile I'd seen in some time). He asked me why I wasn't up there dancing with the "line". I hung my head and told him I had no rhythm. He told me anyone could do it! I had hope. He took me over to the side and showed me, slowly how to to the one toe tap, two toe tap thingy......I started to get it!!!! (I think he was Santa Clause!) He was too nice ...(not the type of sleeze one would typically find in an out of the way bar in NY). He brought me back into the line and stayed by my side while I danced!!!! I got it! I was staying in line..toe tapping, heel tapping, turning around, dosey doeing and everything!!!! My purple boots were doing their thing. I knew I bought them for a reason and this was it!

I felt like I was on top of the world. One toe tap forward, two heel taps back, .......swing around and do it again........

I did it again and again...until one of my purple snakeskin cowboy boots slid out from under me.

My legs parted in a split.......my "tight" jeans split too! All the way up my butt! I slithered away, again.

I never went back :-(

Happy Monkey Monday...

HAPPY MONKEY MONDAY......(or not). ;-)

I'm still waiting for Mondays to be Fundays....(hint, hint).

Hope your weekend was wonderful....The weather was here, wish you were beautiful.

I'm not quite over my food poisoning bout. I still have to eat really bland food and that sucks because I love, love, love hot and spicy food!!! But I did loose 10 pounds in the process! Hopefully this won't last for too much longer. On top of the food poisoning last week, I got conjuntivitis. I think I infected everyone at work. I have a feeling they're a little pissed. Ya think? I thought it was my allergies until they all ordered me to go to Medical and they confirmed that yes, indeed it was pink eye. I got some drops and it's doing a lot better now. Hopefully, real soon, I'll be able to tell y'all what good health I'm in. Until then,

Peace
