I do not need my penis enlarged. So, please, please, please stop sending me the stupid e-mails guaranteeing me an extra 4 inches. My penis is quite a fine size. And why are these e-mails not being sent right to junk mail???? It's getting old. And I can't believe that there are still people that believe that their penis is going to get bigger when they respond to a spam e-mail.
Ok, enough about the penis I don't even have.
I am terribly disappointed that JT got stabbed on Degrassi. This was such a sad show. Why couldn't they have killed off Jay, he's useless. Or Alex, who cares about her. Why JT???
The only thing I have to say about my job is - IDIOTS!! That's it.
I haven't advised ZickyZou, but when I get my tax refund, Zalyssa and I are journeying out to the Coach outlet and picking out a new handbag. Each one of us. I know that there are more practical things we should do, but don't we deserve it? I have drastically reduced my clothes and accessory spending. I think we need a new handbag.
Ok, I am going to bed early.

Zalyssa's new room....
We painted Zalyssa's room. When she is done organizing it, I will have her take pictures. The color is called Hot Pink Kiss, it is like a bright pink lipstick color, I like it way more on the walls than I did on the little sample card. And she got her new bed. Walmart had a futon that me and her looked at that was $190. So I gave Nick $200 and him and my brother went to pick it up. They brought me back $80 because it was on sale for $100. So I gave him $40 to take my brother out to lunch. Awesome! And Zalyssa also got new shelves. Her room will look really nice when it is all complete.
ZickyZou left this morning at 5:45 am to go and stand in line at Target to get a Wii. He was #4 in line, so he was able to bring home the newest addition to our family. It is pretty cool, but I would have preferred a new Coach. The next time our piggy bank is filled up, we are getting new kitchen flooring.
OK, I am going to go and do laundry....

Tea Time...
I am drinking a wonderful cup of mint tea and watching the gophers game and reading a book, and now I am typing in my blog. My house smells like yummy pot roast, it is so-so clean, and the Maryland women's team got beat by Duke. What could be better?
Well, if someone went and got the mail for me so I didn't have to go outside, that would be better.
I am reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I am having a hard time getting into it, not quite sure why. Maybe the subject? It takes place in 1964, and it's about a doctor who delivers his wife's twins, and one of them is born with Down's Syndrome and he gives it away and tells his wife that she died. Hard subject. But, we'll see where the book goes.
I am happy that Maryland got beat. Nothing against Maryland, I just don't like the coach. I didn't want her to be so successful after abandoning Minnesota. It was a good game and Duke was ahead the whole time.
Last night I went to the grocery store by myself. Alyssa called me today from the grocery store with her dad. She told me that she was looking at fish and she thought that she would eat Gorton's Cajun Blackened fish fillets if I bought them. Freekin' weird because that is the exact kind that I bought yesterday. I had it in my cart, put it back, and then decided I would buy it. It is just so weird because that's the only kind I bought and there were like 5 different kinds.
I also bought some fresh tuna steaks. I slightly overcooked it last night, but it was okay. It didn't kill me. It tasted sort of like a pork chop. But it was EXPENSIVE! Like $7 for two pieces. I am going to need to get a second job to support my healthy eating.
My sister called my dad to say that her deployment was being extended. Thank you, Mr. President. Her deployment has been hard on my family, especially since she lives blocks from my parents house. But it has been especially hard on Alyssa because she is not old enough to fully comprehend what's going. I don't really understand it either. But at least I am able to take the media and news reports with a grain of salt. All kids can really understand is that a lot of soldiers are dying. and how do I explain the risks to a child? There is a risk with being in a war zone. And I don't want to tell Alyssa that my sister, her aunt and Godmother, is 100% safe, because she's not. But I also don't want her scared that something is going to happen. This is not fair!! And it is especially not fair that we thought we only had until March to worry, and now that has been extended for a length of time that we don't know.
Ok, I am going to go get the mail before it gets dark.

Another Christmas....
We celebrated our final Christmas of 2006 today with my aunt and uncle, who are also my Godparents. They came over to my parents house and I brought dinner. I made chili and cornbread muffins yesterday to bring over there. And I got more fantastic presents. My aunt gave me another set of 6 Vikings glasses from the legion up where she lives. I love these things. So I have two sets now. She also gave me one of those sets of food containers that have the three different sizes and lids that fit all three. It spins. I am going to rearrange my cupboards so I can fit it because it is so cool. I was going to buy one but was holding off.
Nick and I went to see Rocky Balboa today. It started off slow, but the ending was excellent. It turned out to be a very good movie.
Ok, I am reading a Jackie Collins book, Lovers and Players, and I would like to get in a few chapters before bed.

I'm cranky...
OK, here's why I'm cranky today. Zalyssa helped a friend babysit on New Years Eve. The lady they babysat for gave Zalyssa $10 and her friend $12. The friends mom told the friend that the lady should not have paid Zalyssa. She made friend feel bad. She suggested that friend get the $10 and give it back to the lady they babysat for. Friend somehow made Zalyssa feel bad about taking the money, so Zalyssa gave it back to friend. Ok, that's not the problem. Here's the problem. Zalyssa used her gift card to rent two movies for them and the kids to watch. This leaves Zalyssa with a net profit for the night of -$8.00 and some change. This doesn't seem right to me. Had "friend" returned the $10 and then split the $12 with Zalyssa, that'd be okay. Or returned the $12 ands split the $10. Either way. It just does not seem fair to me that they both do the work and only one gets paid and it costs the other one money.
This bothers me even more because over the past four years that they have been friends, I have taken Zalyssa and friend to countless movies and numerous restaurants and paid the bill. Friend has stayed over night at our house more times than I could even count. Eaten our food, used our shower, etc, etc. And this has never been reciprocated. And not once, not once, have either of the parents thanked me. But yet the mom makes a big deal out of the $10 that Zalyssa earned???
And it's not even that. They are continuously telling friend that my child is bad. Smart-mouthed, whatever. And yes, my child is far from perfect. And she would probably kick a person if they deserved it. But she would never kick a cat, and for that, I think she's just fine. In fact, I think she's a great kid. So what if she is failing government and she talks back to me. I still thinks she's great. And it is far from okay for you to say anything bad about her.
And another thing, what do you expect your child to learn when they know that you are ILLEGALLY downloading movies from the internet. In case you don't know, although I am sure you do, THAT IS STEALING. And you can say lots and lots and lots of bad things about me, but I do not steal. And you do. Downloading movies like you do is legally, morally and ethically wrong. What kind of example are you setting?
Ok, that's it.

It's not Thursday....
but it really feels like Thursday. I can't even say how many times today I have thought "Thankfully tomorrow is Friday". Only tomorrow is not Friday because today is not Thursday.
I am currently reading "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger. It is really good so far. I wish I had more time to read.
The gophers are down by 4. I really hope they can win this one.
The football number lady came by my desk today waving cash and telling me I won. Now wouldn't I know if I won since my dad is supposedly writing down the scores as the games happen? She asked me if I had 0 & 5. I said I didn't know, and I didn't think I had won. But she insisted I did. So I took the money and told her I'd let her know. So I called my dad and asked him to grab the numbers and the scorecard. Then I asked him for the scores, and I added them up and it looked like we won. Now my dad is normally the smartest person I know. I asked him what 24 and 26 would be and he said 6. So I asked him to look again. He said 6. I then advised him that according to my calculator it was 10, and so 0 & 5 wins. Then all he said was "What in the hell was I thinking". And I left work with $90.
I gave my dad $60 since I owe him for my tires and my printer. I then had $30. I stopped at Target to get milk, toilet paper, and paper towels. I also got 5 pounds of oranges, 2 pounds of carrots, 2 boxes of Christmas cards for next year and 5 packages of christmas present boxes. My total was $30.02. AWESOME!
Ok, I am going to get back to the game. Maybe my cheering will help.

Now I'm getting super-pissed....
If my sister calls me crying one more time, I am jumping on the next plane east. Hello, Mr. Dumbass, you are the one that got caught cheating. And you don't even have the decency to keep your affair private while you and my sister are working out the details of your split. Please, please, please show some compassion for her and understand how hard this is for her. She wanted to work things out with you. You are the one that wanted out. You should probably expect her to not want you to have her son around your new girlfriend. Hi, what kind of morals can someone possibly have if they are hanging around with a married man. I can understand why she wouldn't want you, your new little girly-girl, and your son to have dinner together. You're an ass and your girlfriend is a tramp.

Happy New Year!!
Ok, the new year is not starting out particularly great. Someone (and I am not above airing family drama on the internet- I won't name names, the guilty person knows who he is)related to me by marriage is acting like a blankety-blank towards a person who is closely related to me. And he may soon really, really regret marrying into the family. I can kind of be a b-tch sometimes and I will not hesitate to get on a plane and kick his azz if it comes to that. Maybe I am more mad than I should be, but I guess the bottom line is that I have my sisters back, and if you f--- with her, then you've got to deal with us all. and we will always take our sisters side, so he doesn't really get a chance to tell his side. He is evidently not aware that I got a wonderful Christmas present from ZarahZou that included some neat things to throw at co-workers. These can also be thrown at cheating brother-in-laws. Even if we can only put "cheating" in quotes because he doesn't think he did. He is a dumb, dumb boy. And it just really sucks that my sister has to deal with this. No one should have to. And no matter what my sister decides to do, she is more than welcome to stay at our house if she needs to. ZickyZou even said she could.
Ok, on to my own life. I am 100% caught up on laundry. And my Christmas tree got taken down with a lot of help from Zalyssa's friend, Zemily. Zalyssa didn't want to help, but Zemily helped a lot. My house is almost clean. Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow, I could use one more day off.
So Maturi fired Mason. Not sure what I think about this yet. I need more time to think about it because it was so unexpected, even if the gophs did blow a 800 point lead in their bowl game. This could have negative implications on recruiting. But Mase looks so confused on the sidelines sometimes. And some of his play calls....
Zalyssa is really upset because K-fed beat John Cena. Does anyone besides her really care????
Me and Zalyssa spent a large part of the afternoon watching VH-'s countdown of the top 100 songs of the 80's. What a nice, relaxing, entertaining waste of an afternoon.
Ok, since I have to get up tomorrow, I am off to bed.

Merry Wednesday!
It's Wednesday already. Christmas was great. I am probably almost over my cold, and my foot still hurts. X-rays today, and my doctor said she'd call me within a week or so after a radiologist looks at the x-rays and decides if I need tylenol because the pain will go away on it's own, percocet because I am going to be in pain for a long time, or amputation because my foot is not repairable. It's got to be one of those three.
I went to Turnstyle (consignment shop) and got 3 pairs of pants, 2 cute shirts, a pair of super-cute BRAND NEW Liz Claiborne shoes, a purse for Zalyssa, and a cute cute cute pink Coach handbag (very used, probably cleanable) for $82. I'm very happy with my purchases. $25 for a Coach bag that just needs a good cleaning is not a bad deal.
I am wearing one of my new shirts tomorrow. It's from the Gap, just a striped button-down, but cute. And cheap. And perfect with jeans. The other shirt I got is more summery. Hopefully summer will come soon.
I'm off to take leather cleaner to my new handbag......

Why do I need a title?!?!
I don't feel like giving this post a title. And if I don't want to, I don't have to. I still don't feel good. It hurts to breath, and coughing is probably going to kill me.
Here are some people I am mad at: The idiot dumbledork at work who changed a password the whole agency uses to "pooky", wtf?? pooky? I should not have to type pooky into a password box; the stupid ebayer who has not paid for the auction that she won. It's $15, pay the stupid money so I can mail out the item and be done with you; the mailperson who crammed a box of books into my mailbox, and I had to rip them out and tore the box so now I can't write "Return to sender" on them because I have to retape and label the stupid box, thanks!; the person who invented razors that caused me to shave off a portion of my fingernail. good thing I didn't cut my actual finger (just the nail) or this person would be on the list twice. As it is, I had to file down my nail as low as it could go without drawing blood. okay that's enough people at be mad at today.
Now the people that have made me happy: ZickyZou for his third awesome back rub in three days. this is a good part of being sick. I heart ZickyZou.; the person who invented fruit smelling candles in jars. I love this person. they are giving me the gift of relaxation.; ZarahZou for the most awsesomest Christmas present that is probably going to get me fired when I start using it. I doubt that throwing marbles, staplers, or paper airplanes at your co-workers is a good way to keep your job (even if they change the password to pooky). although I am certain that I can get away with a yo-yo to the forehead because then there will be no proof I did anything. Thank you ZarahZou, you made me smile.; Chipotle for having awesome food. Although they should probably go on the people I'm mad at list for making me eat 18 pounds of burrito.
ok, enough for now. I am going to bed.

In case anyone cares...
I feel like total crap. My nose is stuffy and drippy, my throat hurts, my head hurts, I feel dizzy, and I am certain I gave myself a concussion yesterday when I hit my head on my dresser. Of course I am sick, Christmas is just a few short days away.
I am going to bed. Well, I would go to bed if my house would magically clean itself. Instead I look at all of the things that need to be cleaned, then I will say to myself "I should clean that", then I will go to bed.
p.s. Happy Birthday, ZarahZou

It's a Christmas card......
and it's not for me. How disappointing is it that the mail finally comes at 5:00, and I go out to get it and I pull out the mail upside down and I see what I know is a Christmas card and I spend the walk from the mail box to my kitchen thinking about who it could be from and how happy I am to get this holiday wish from someone special and important and how thankful I am have such kind and caring people in my life and then I turn it over and it is a Christmas card. But, it's not for me. It is addressed to the people who lived in this house 2 closings ago. I was so very tempted to write "Return to sender" on it because then the sender would get it back and wonder what he did to offend Steve and Nancy so much that they don't want his card. But then I decided I would simply write "Not at this address" so that he would know that they moved.
ZickyZou and I went to the mall today. Ridgedale because they have a See's Candy kiosk. We both love See's. When we got to the mall at about 11:30, the parking lot was packed. We drove around for about 10 minutes looking for any place to park. Our patience was rewarded with Rock Star parking. Front row, even if it was in front of the Macy's men's department.
We got our candy and I found some awesome things for MissZalyssa. I will be very upset if I am not her favorite person on Christmas morning. Her stocking rocks!
We were only at the mall for about 2 hours because it was really, really crowded. So then we went to Walmart so we could get water and plus I needed a couple of items for ZarahZou's birthday present. I told ZickyZou my idea, and he said it was the dumbest thing he has ever heard of. I think that that means she'll like. She better after all of the time and thought I put into it. It's kind of becoming a p.i.t.a. I should have just gotten her a gift card.
Now I home alone waiting for ZickyZou to get back from taking my brother shopping. My brother is getting my mom a music box that will be engraved with something sweet and sentimental. Thanks to ZennieZou for the idea. ZickyZou promised he would be home at 8:00. That is still 2 hours away. So I guess I should use that time to work on ZarahZou's present.
More later........

Taylor & Ryan?
Ok, I think I am not only becoming okay with the idea of Taylor and Ryan, I think I may be 100% behind it. At first I couldn't get over Maurissa's (how the heck did she spell her name?) death, but now I'm over it. And I just want poor Ryan to be happy. Where would I be without The O.C.????? I may be slightly pathetic. I can accept that.
It's Friday night and here are my big plans: shower. bed.
That's it. I dropped MissZalyssa over at Zessica's house. ZickyZou is not home from work yet. And I'm tired. I have to get up early to go to the post office tomorrow, so I want to go to bed early. The samples I sold on ebay went for over $20. $20 dollars for things that I got for free. oh, well.
I may be in the minority, but I am okay with Anna Nicole having married the old guy. So maybe she was only in it for the money, he got to marry Anna Nicole. How many guys have gotten to do that? 3 or 4? And if he got any uh, pleasure, from her, well than he was probably pretty happy. Lots of guys pay for sex. Nothing new about that.
Tomorrow me and ZickyZou are going to the mall to hopefully finish our Christmas shopping. That should be fun. And then when we get home I need to work on ZarahZou's birthday present. I hope it turns out like my vision. And I hope she realizes how many hours I will have put into it.
Ok, off to the shower.....

That's it. I dropped MissZalyssa over at Zessica's house. ZickyZou is not home from work yet. And I'm tired. I have to get up early to go to the post office tomorrow, so I want to go to bed early. The samples I sold on ebay went for over $20. $20 dollars for things that I got for free. oh, well.
I may be in the minority, but I am okay with Anna Nicole having married the old guy. So maybe she was only in it for the money, he got to marry Anna Nicole. How many guys have gotten to do that? 3 or 4? And if he got any uh, pleasure, from her, well than he was probably pretty happy. Lots of guys pay for sex. Nothing new about that.
Tomorrow me and ZickyZou are going to the mall to hopefully finish our Christmas shopping. That should be fun. And then when we get home I need to work on ZarahZou's birthday present. I hope it turns out like my vision. And I hope she realizes how many hours I will have put into it.
Ok, off to the shower.....

Punch bowl and cake stand
Ok, so at work we are having a pot luck on Thursday. I really would have rather ordered in Chinese or Pizza or something. I got out-voted. So I am making punch in my punch bowl and a cake on my cake stand. I was going to make a lemon cake w/ raspberry filling, but Target did not have any lemon cake mix. I was going to buy lemon extract, but it was almost $4.00. So I decided to go with a strawberry cake mix. Probably a bundt cake.
I got some stuff for ZickyZou's stocking at Target. A Rubik's cube (hopefully he'll let me play with it) and a slinky. How much fun will that be? And I am nearly done with Zalyssa's stocking. Now what about mine?
My ebay auctions end tomorrow. Am I going to be rich?
ZarahZou is on a business trip. I'm kind of mad at her for leaving me all alone at work. First she quits working with me, and now she leaves on a business trip so she can't e-mail me. Does she not know that I am going through a major crisis at work and that Mrs.Iowa is going to call Voldy to complain about how uncooperative I am? And that Mr. Iowa sent me a Christmas card? I had no one to share these things with today. All because ZarahZou is on a business trip. whatever.
Ok, it's practically my bed time.

Cook once, eat twice....
I love that concept. Tonight I made Cheesy Baked Potato Hamburger Helper, and I fried 2 pounds of hamburger so tomorrow I just need to add that hamburger to pasketti sauce, and there I have dinner without having to fry more hamburger. yippee!! Anything to save a few minutes.
Should I tell the person who has bid $30 so far for one of my ebay items that I bought it for $16? Or that the samples that someone has bid $10.99 for that I got them for FREE? I was afraid that the $30 item wouldn't even sell. I just wanted to get my $16 back. I am going to be freekin' rich. $10.99 for free samples? No comprendo.
Today I got ZickyZou's present and Zalyssa's gift card. I am so close to being done shopping. I also ordered ZickyZou a magnet for his stocking. The t-shirt I got him was $18.99. But if you spend $20, you get $5 off, so I added a $3 magnet. ZickyZou and I are going to the mall on Saturday. There are just a couple of things I need to get. Peanut Brittle from the See's Kiosk for my mom, a Best Buy gift card for my dad, I need to run into Bath & Body Works to pick something up for Zalyssa, and then we just have my brother and Nick's brother left. I told nIck to figure out something for those two. Something in our $20 per person price range.
Today I got a mega-bottle of Amazing Grace lotion from QVC for myself. 32 ounces. I love that stuff.
Ok, I am going to do the dishes, exercise, shower, and go to bed.

10:30 on a Saturday night...
and I am home alone. Everyone in my house has a social life but me. ZickyZou is out with some of his guy friends. Actually, he's at my parents house w/ my brother playing video games. But, that's out of the house. I know this because I stopped by their house on the way to pick up MissZalyssa from her choir concert. Then when I picked her up, she begged me to drop her and Zashley off at Buffalo Wild Wings (B-dubs) to meet some other people in choir. I was just going to go and pick her up, but she wants to stay out later because she is having so much fun. While I am home alone watching qvc. Poor me.
actually, I got a lot done. I folded a load of laundry and I packaged up my item that sold on ebay. So now I just have to go to the post office on Monday. Why has no one bid on any of my other items? The sample lot is an awesome deal. Oh, well.
Above is a very bad picture of part of my closet. These are the two rods. I will post better pictures when I figure out what else I am going to do. You can see the stacks of clothes along the back wall. They are on a low shelf. I am debating between more shelves or another rod. The wall opposite the rods has a set of shelving, but the piles are so high that I think they might tip. That would suck.
Ok, I am going to check on my ebay listings and then go wait in the B-dubs parking lot. Curfew is at 11:00, so I need to pick the girls up by then.
Saturday!
ok, my living room is clean. That's enough for one saturday, right? I don't actually have to clean 2 bathrooms and a kitchen, do I? I've done 2 loads of laundry and washed one dishwasher full of dishes. Can I quit now?
I listed a few things on ebay. One sold as a "buy it now". That means that I need to go to Target and get a box and some packing tape so I can mail it out on Monday. But, I profit about $10 on the item. Well, actually closer to $8.50 after I pay the paypal and ebay fees, but that means I'm rich! Plus I got my $10 rebate check from the grocery store. So now I'm really rich.
The Gophers are down by 5. There's only 9&1/2 minutes left and I'm starting to get concerned. I want them to win.
Nick went out for the day and is going to hang out with my brother. Alyssa is cleaning her room and playing her music very loud. I asked her to turn it down, and she did a little, but it's still loud. I wish she could understand that I really, really don't want to piss of the neighbors any more than we already have. They are cranky and mean, but they do have a valid point. The music has been loud and the walls are thin.
I had a dream last night that I gave birth to triplets. What in the world would I do with 3 babies ? They were cute, though.
Ok, I am going to go and watch the rest of the game. The team needs me to cheer for them.

This is only a test....
Wow! If you turn your head sideways, you can see a way-too-light picture of my newly-remodeled bathroom. I got a new digital camera and I'm still trying to figure our this stupid Presto! Mr. Photo software.
My next trick will be to add it so you don't have to rotate your head. I will work on the lighting tomorrow.

Why???
Why am I having such a hard time writing new posts? It seems like whenever I get to use the computer, I spend my time reading posts on the QVC beauty board or the Gopherhole basketball board. I really should set a goal to write at least one post a day or something. One every other day? I doubt I'd run out of material because I have so much to say. Maybe I am just sick of complaining about my job??? Since I spend so much time each day there, it seems like I think about it a lot. I need to start leaving it all at the door when I leave there. I used to be able to do that, but ever since I started handling new business, I have been so stressed out and cranky. But when I was handling renewals, I was bored. I'll never be happy.
New episode of The O.C. tonight. I'm not sure what I think of Taylor and Ryan together??? I want Ryan to be happy, but I wanted him to be happy with Marissa. Yes, I know it's a tv show.
The Biggest Loser 3 finale is next week. I'd really like Kai to win. Mostly because I like her name. They have inspired me. I really wish that my foot would stop hurting so I could exercise more. I exercise every night until the pain gets to be too much. I do have a doctors appt. on Dec. 27th, so hopefully my dr. can fix me and make me better.
I'm tired, but not like sleep-tired. Like exhausted-tired. I'm going to finish watching ER and then go to bed....

Friday, I'm in love
That's a song, too. (See Monday, Monday blog) I don't know many other songs with a day of the week in it. Let's see- Manic Monday (The Bangles), Rainy Days & Mondays (The Carpenters), Except for Sunday (which was never good anyway, Tuesday I get a little sideways, Wednesday I feel better just for spite. Thursday, Friday take too long, before I know it Saturdays gone, but it's Sunday now and you can that I'm all right) (Lorrie Morgan), okay and we've already got Monday,Monday (The Mama's and the Papa's) and Friday, I'm in love (The Cure). Oooh, and some song that goes "It's Friday night, just got paid, party hunting, some other babble". Except I think the song is called "Just got paid" and there is no way I will be able to remember who sings it. I think N'sync re-did it, though. Oh, and Elton John's Saturday night's all right for fighting. Oh and Sunday girl by Blondie. And Blue Monday by New Order, which is the reason I bought that cd. And a disco song that goes "Saturday Night, saturday night", no idea who sang that one.
Ok, I;m kind of over songs with a day of the week in them.
My child wants dinner. I guess I am legally (and morally) obligated to feed her......

Monday, Monday
That's a song, in case anyone cares.
I finished the Wendy Corsi Staub book. It got a little better. I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. It didn't hurt me, but I wouldn't re-read it. I also finished Honeymoon by James Patterson. So it's takes me a month to read The Final Victim and less than 24 hours to read Honeymoon?!? I'd give that one 4&1/2. Very, very good. And easy to read. And suspensful. Recommended!
I get to wear jeans tomorrow. yippee. I like jeans.
I also came up with a Christmas present idea for ZickyZou's mom. I am not going to type it in case the world is plotting against me and someone steals my idea. but as a reminder to myself- foot network.
ok, time to go exercise....

Happy Saturday!
Thanksgiving was most excellent. And my house is still fairly clean. That means I don't have to do much of anything today. Sit around and watch tv. ZickyZou is going to hang out with some of his friends and play video games, MissZalyssa is at her dad's. That means the house (and all the leftovers) are mine.
My closet is fantastic! I would post a picture, but the only digital camera we have is on Zalyssa's phone since she broke my real one. I love my new closet. And the bars are not coming down. I doubt you get them down even if you wanted to. and the bars are not connected, so if one were to fall, the other would stay up.
I don't really feel like blogging. I would rather go sit on the couch and do nothing. I have been trying to read a book, The Final Victim", by Wendy Corsi Staub, but it is really hard to get into. I have read a couple of her books and enjoyed them, but this one is slow. But I am not picking up another book until I finish this one, so that is certainly incentive to get it read.
I am also trying to decide if I should get dressed today. I am very comfortable in faded pajama pants and a holey sweatshirt. But I could not go and get the mail in these clothes. You can see my purple underwear through the thread-bare pajama pants. I don't know why I haven't disposed of these. I have numerous pairs of newer pajama pants. They are just not nearly as comfortable as these.
OK, off to read my boring book......

I scored at drugstore.com!!!
I got the best deals on Philosophy stuff today at drugstore.com. They are having a 20% off sale, today only. So I got 20% off. If you spend over $49, you get free shipping. If you spend $40 on Philosophy products, you get a free $18 Amazing Grace Soap set. If you spend $50, you get a $25 hand and foot lotion combo, If you spend $100 at beauty.com (drugstores sister site), you get a free $25 Amazing Grace bubble bath. So I got $16o worth of products for $120, plus all that free stuff. AWESOME!! I got Alyssa a couple of things for Christmas, and I got myself the new Philosophy the Fragrance. I am so excited. I love Philosophy stuff. It took me about 2 hours to figure out which order you had to add the discounts because you have to go through links to get some of them, but I really needed retail therapy after the horrible day at work I had. I was ready to scream after dealing with a couple of difficult agents, but I certainly feel better after going on my scent-sational shopping spree.
Tomorrow night MissZalyssa and I are going to go shopping for paint for the bathroom. I got towels, a shower curtain and bath mats in the mail today- they are turquoise. So we are trying to decide what color to paint. Zalyssa wants lime green, and I don't think I would object to a lighter lime color. But yellow would be nice. I guess we are really just going to have to look at the options. I am bringing one of the turquoise washcloths along. It's just that it is so hard to judge the color on a little tiny sample card. You really need to see the color on the wall.
I have Friday off and next Wednesday. I am doing nothing after Thanksgiving. Three whole days of nothing! I am going to watch The Stand, and maybe put up the Christmas tree that I don't have yet. We'll see.
Ok, I am going to iron my skirt for tomorrow and then take a shower......

I'm still mad at the The O.C.
ok, so not only did they kill off Marissa, they showed a brand new episode on a Wednesday. Yes, there will be a new episode on Thursday during their regularly scheduled time, but what if I had not been scrolling through the guide and saw that they had a new episode on Wednesday? Why would I expect a new episode on Wednesday? Thursday night is The O.C. night. I did get to watch the Wednesday episode in it's entirety, but the I couldn't watch The Biggest Loser. I hate the O.C. people. They suck. And they're dumb. And if I had something better to do I would not watch.
ZarahZou got a new job. Congratulations, ZarahZou! I could use a new one.
It's 78 degrees in my house. That's practically an oven temperature.
I'm doing preliminary Thanksgiving cleaning this weekend. It'll easily take me three weeks to clean, so I need to start now. Maybe I will even put the jack-o-lantern decorations away. I have a pretty pumpkin on my tv, and other assorted orange things floating around. I suppose it's probably time to start thinking about Christmas decorations. And presents. What in the world do I get my dad? I am so out of creative, fun ideas. At least I'm just about done with Zalyssa, except for her big present, which I can not get until the week before Christmas because it's her choice and she keeps changing her mind.
Tomorrow Philosophy is on QVC. I am seriously considering getting the Amazing Grace kit on auto-delivery for $60. It's a great deal, and I love how happy wearing Amazing Grace makes me. But do I need it?
ok, I am going to bed early.....

Election returns
For some reason, I find watching election returns to be fascinating. Actually, I think it might be the whole process of democracy. We get the privilege of voting, and that's huge. I like presidential elections because the whole concept of the electoral college is just fascinating (didn't I use that word already?).
I am, however, deeply disturbed by the people that oppose gay marriage. The people I know personally that are against it have been unable to give me any reasoning that even gives me anything to think about as far as my opinion. The only real argument they have is "It destroys the sanctity of marriage" or "Marriage is supposed to be between a man and a woman and the bible says....". Ok, will someone please tell me exactly how allowing a gay person to have a legally recognized commitment to the person they want to spend the rest of their life with destroys the sanctity of marriage? I'd actually really like to understand this. The only people that could destroy the sanctity of my upcoming marriage are me and Nick. That's it. Our marriage will be about our personal and lifelong commitment to each other. And only one of us would have the power to do anything to harm that. It doesn't matter who marries who or what the neighbors are doing. If people were really concerned about the "sanctity of marriage", perhaps they should first work on the divorce rates. And infidelity. The very people that are speaking out against gay marriage are screwing around on their spouse, or are divorced and re-married. And it really, really makes me mad that a convicted child molester/murderer can get married as long as they marry someone of the opposite sex, but yet a highly moral, law abiding gay couple can not. I just don't get it. And the bible was written 18 million years ago. Times have changed and our laws and morals need to change along with them. I don't understand how anyone could be against 2 consenting adults pledging to be together till death do they part.
Ok, it's past my bedtime.....

Mondays!
My commute home was about four times as long as it usually is due to an accident. I hope everyone involved is okay, and I'm sorry it happened, but that doesn't stop me from being cranky about it. I sat right by the exit to 394 East and didn't get off 169 because taking 394 would be way out of my way. So after sitting there for 45 minutes, the traffic starts to move. Yes, it moves because they are detouring people off of 169 onto 394 West. YES! SO I get on 394 West only to loop around (because West won't take me anywhere near where I need to go) and get on 394 East! So I take that down to 100 and go 27 miles out of my way and get home at about midnight! Had I just gotten off on 394 and headed East to being with, I'd have been home about an hour and a half earlier. But, I would much rather sit in traffic.
When I got home I took Zalyssa to Target. We spent $90.06. That's a lot of money. But now she has a winter jacket so she can't call Child Protection as she has been threatening to do since apparently 74 degrees is not warm enough, and I wouldn't buy her a winter jacket. Well, the heat is off and it's 75 in the house and she has a jacket. So, there.
The wonderful midwestern sales reps are in town for a meeting. Perhaps ZarahZou would like to stop in and say hi??? I had to shake Mr.Slimeball's hand. Ick.
It's after 9:00. I'm going to throw another coat of "OPI Nail Envy" on my nails. Too bad it doesn't work. Oh, well. It only retails at $14.95 a bottle.

Silly association rules, or is he a liar??
So ZickyZou told me that he could not help clean the house by cleaning the toilets because apparently there is an association rule against cleaning the toilets after 10:00 pm. And since he doesn't get home from work until 10:00, he can't clean them. Now, he obviously wouldn't lie to me, so he needs to come up with an explanation to explain the following:
*I have read the association rule book front to back and did not see that rule.
*He has not read ANY of the association rule book.
*He does not know where I stored the association rule book so he can't find it and read it.
*That would be a stupid rule.
*Even I am not gullible enough to fall for said rule.
So was he lying?
He gave up on that story when I explained that he could get up ten minutes early in the morning and clean. Then he tried to say that there was an association rule against HIM cleaning the toilets. Men!!
I took Zalyssa and Zemily to see Saw III. Holy gruesomeness. There was a lot of blood. And we have to go see Saw IV to see if the guy gets to save his daughter. Not fair. I hate paying $18 and not having an ending.
I fell down the stairs again. I am a klutz. At least Zalyssa and Zemily were the only ones here to laugh at me. I thought I broke my ankle, but it feels better. I do have a nasty looking bruise on my arm, though. And I was walking down the stairs very slowly because my feet hurt. So what happened?
The doctor called Friday afternoon to inform me that Zalyssa tested positive for a bacteria that can cause ulcers. So she is now taking two different antibiotics plus the prilosec. And her stomach still hurts.
Ok, I am going to watch the second half of the Vikings game.....
*I have read the association rule book front to back and did not see that rule.
*He has not read ANY of the association rule book.
*He does not know where I stored the association rule book so he can't find it and read it.
*That would be a stupid rule.
*Even I am not gullible enough to fall for said rule.
So was he lying?
He gave up on that story when I explained that he could get up ten minutes early in the morning and clean. Then he tried to say that there was an association rule against HIM cleaning the toilets. Men!!

Oops, a typo
Post # 53 refers to "Manola Blahniks". I could go back and correct the typo since it's Manolo, but I get an extra post if I just type a new entry to correct that typo.
I just got an e-mail from my dad that was from my sister. She is in the "Jon Carry" picture that is currently on the news- she's the one behind the "N". She's almost famous.

Post # 54
Zarah Zou has 100 posts. I only have 54. Buy I could catch up in no time if I started posting 3 or 4 a day. Too bad I'm so lazy.
The O.C.
The new season of The O.C. started tonight. The O.C. without Marissa is like, well, buying only one designer shoe and leaving the other at the store. Yeah, you could take the one and put it on your mantle. But it's not the same. You can never wear them as a pair, and one Manola Blahnik is pretty, but it's just not a pair. So I guess the point of that is that I am not really feeling the show without Marissa. I was always waiting for their fairy-tale wedding, and now that is never going to happen. I'm very disappointed. I hope that Mischa Barton gets a blister from her shoes, un-repairable split ends, and lots of cellulite as a punishment for ruining my fantasy about the storybook wedding. I guess I have an extra free hour on Thursdays now.
Tomorrow is Friday! Yippee for Friday. I like Fridays.
I also like sleep, so off I go....

5 trick or treaters
That's it. 5. I guess next year they are each getting a new car or something because I have 6.5 pounds of candy left. Maybe I should put it in the garage and pull it out next year???
ok, so I semi-started my novel. I have about 600 words. I let Zalyssa read it while we were in the dr's office since she ripped it out of my hand. She laughed at it, then told me it was dumb. Then she suggested I quit my job and write full time because then I could be rich. I tired to explain that more than a million people a year write novels, and maybe 5% get published, and maybe 1% make enough money to quit their day job. She didn't believe me. But since 86% of stastics are made up on the spot, I am quit comfortable with the numbers I chose. And I am not writing it for the money or the prestige, I just want to finish it. I just have to come up with a plot.
I left work early to take Zalyssa to the dr. She still has a stomachache. The doctor still says it's her stomach and she prescribed prilosec to be taken twice a day. Hopefully she feels better soon.
I turned the heat on. And I cranked it up to 72 since Zalyssa is sick and she was cold. On my way to bed I am shutting it off again until at least Nov. 15th.
okay, bedtime....

Trick or Treat???
It's been dark for exactly 26 & 1/5 minutes, and no trickortreaters have come to my door. That means that I may need to eat 7 pounds of candy. oh, well. worse things could happen.
Consider this sentence the extent of what I am writing about work.
So do I really start a novel tomorrow? I have so many idea's running through my head, but they are more along the lines of short stories. I am reading a book that is starting out pretty blah- At Risk by Patricia Cornwell. I have enjoyed every book of hers that I have read. But I am on chapter 5 of this one and I am just not feeling it. But I am going to finish it before I can move on to the next book. And who knows, it might get better.
Still no trickortreaters. I even have my fake-o-matic pumpkin sitting on a chair. I turned on my "porch" light, which turns on the garage light. So it's well lit. I guess it's only 20 after 6, so there's still time, but I'm impatient.
I'm going to go watch Wheel-of-Fortune and eat some pounds of candy.....

H-A-DOUBLE-L-O-W-DOUBLE-E-N....
Can Little Red Riding Hood wear fishnets? Because that is my plan. And since it is my costume, I can do whatever I want. I bought a loooonng, velvety red cape at Walmart for less than $10. And I got the cutest basket and plaid napkins that will be both a costume accessory and my purse. I can throw my cell phone, lip gloss and a bottle of water in the basket. How awesome is that?
MissZalyssa is going to be a pirate. In a mini-skirt. hmmmm......
In case anyone cares, Neville is not only an idiot, he is stupid, too. And he turns EVERYTHING into a drama. Maybe it's cause he wants to do a good job, but he over-analyzes more than Voldy, and I didn't think that was possible. And he doesn't listen.
I got pop-rocks to hand out on Halloween, except I doubt that there will be any left because they are so much fun. I guess the kids that dare to venture to my door will be getting Smarties, Dun-dums (what an odd combo), sixlets and m&m's. Someone(s) ate the kit-kats and take-5's.
It's past my bed-time. I tired to log-on to blogger earlier, but it wouldn't let me. So I'm going to bed.

Sunday!
Last week Zrandon, ZarahZou's husband, delivered to me a stack of coupons for the movie theater, along with instructions from ZarahZou that I needed to go to 6 movies in 2 weeks in order to redeem them. Well, that would be impossible, but ZickyZou and I did go to see Flags of our Fathers last night (which was excellent!! and I highly recommend it) and I gave coupons to a couple of people behind us. They were very, very happy. Who doesn't want to save $2 per ticket? So, that was my good deed, courtesy of ZarahZou. Thank you, ZarahZou!
I made a most excellent dinner of baked chicken and mashed potatoes. It was very good.
The gophers won yesterday, despite trying their hardest to lose. The Vikings are up by 11, so maybe they'll be able to hold on and win. We (me, Zalyssa and her friend Zemily) were going to go and see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but Zemily wasn't home. She was the one who chose the time. And heaven forbid that Zalyssa would go to a movie with just me. What would people think? I would like to believe that I am not that terrible to be around, but I guess I am.
I have to drive myself to work the next three days because my car-pool person has to work at her other job at 4:00. I've almost forgotten the way there. I like car-pooling. I think that they may be considering NG as a permanent replacement for ZarahZou. This sucks because NG has really bad breath. If ZarahZou had had that problem (which I don't think she did) I would have offered her a mint. I am not sharing my mints with NG.
I got my hair cut yesterday. I am now minus 2 & 1/2 inches of hair. Well, 2&1/2 inches of split ends. It is so scary to get my hair cut by someone with really, really bad hair. But she didn't do too bad, although she did tell me that I looked too young to have a 14 year old daughter. Well, I do have a 14 year old, and I easily feel my age plus some. I hope I look 10 years younger when I am in my 50's.
Ok, Miss Zalyssa wants the computer.....

It's past my bedtime...
but it's Friday, so I thought I could stay up for a little while longer and maybe clean my sticky keyboard. I was watching Datelines On-line predator special, and all I can say is WTF!! What is wrong with people? They are so frickin' sick. Soliciting 13 year olds via chatrooms? Ick! I am taking it very personally since I have a daughter in that age-range, but if any of those sick-f*cks showed up at my house, they better hope that they are black-belts, because in a fight- I'd win. Somebody would need to hold me back. I just don't get it. And many of the men were married, with kids, some were military men, doctors, a rabbi. WTF??? 13 year olds. Ok, I can't write about that anymore because it makes me so cranky.
Tomorrow I am thinking about getting my hair cut. I could really use a trim. And since it is $13 whole dollars, I am debating about really getting a cut. Maybe a couple off inches. We'll see. I'll probably end up sleeping in instead since I am up until 10:30.
The lady temp and Dumbledork got into another argument again about coverages. I thought someone was going to get punched. But I took Dumbledorks side, even though I knew he was wrong, just because it was funny. Then on the way home (since I car-pool with lady-temp) I told her that it is usually just easier to agree with dumbledork because he only has two arguments and I know them already- "My son-in-law used to work at a bank" and "I used to own my own agency". They were fighting about tail endorsements for EPLI, and obviously he does not know that LT used to work at an agency and handle only EPLI, so she knows a little bit about it. And since I am able to read, I know a tiny bit about it. He was so wrong, and that's why it's funny to agree with him. I heart my job.
I am patiently awaiting the arrival of my "I doubt it's authentic" authentic kate spade handbag that I won on ebay for less than $25. You are not going to get a "gently used" real kate spade for under $25. That's just not going to happen, even on ebay. But $25 is a fair amount to pay for a fake one. Now, I am totally against buying fake handbags and I understand that buying fakes equals supporting terrorism. However, the seller guaranteed authenticity, so it's okay to buy guaranteed-authentic fakes, because I can pretend like it's real since the seller swears it is. If I were really dumb (as opposed to just kinda dumb) then I might think I was buying a real one. But I'm okay with $25 for a black handbag. Any maybe it is real and the seller is really, really rich and dumb and considers giving it away on ebay the same as donating it to the goodwill.
My electric bill is $50, down from $100. And I still have not turned on the heat. And my house is 74 degrees. That's practically hot. No heat for us this winter. As long as it stays above 60, no heat.
ok, I should get to bed since I have a big day tomorrow- maybe a haircut, definitely a trip to the grocery store, and the Gophers vs. NDSU. Please let them win, I am feeling really defeated and need a good sporting event to make me forget about how much life can suck sometimes. I'm tired, I'm cranky, I just paid the dentist $90 for fillings I didn't want, we have no milk, the garbage stinks because I dumped pasketti sauce in it, my carpets need to be vacuumed, the rest of my house is a mess, my keyboard is sticky, I work with dumb people and jerks, I miss working with ZarahZou, I hate listening to peoples Halloween costumes (I personally think that dressing up like an old lady, a bag lady or a "hobo" is no different than dressing up like an overweight person, a person battling cancer, or any other discriminatory thing), my nails keeps peeling and breaking, my daughter is failing 2 classes, I don't have enough money to pay the phone bill or the cable, I have 5 loads of laundry that need to be done. And all of these things would feel irrelevant if the Gophers would just win. Go, Gophers!!

The dangers of low rise jeans!!
It's been quite a while since I have "blogged". It's not really that I have been too busy, just that I have so many things to do. The laundry monsters come in every night and take the clean clothes and put them in the hamper so that it seems like I am doing two or three loads a night! Well, maybe not quite that many, but it seems like I am washing more clothes than we could possibly wear. The other day I looked at each and every single piece individually before it went into the machine to make sure that someone had actually worn it. And they had. What is going on?
I went to the grocery store to get things to make chili today. What a nice day for it, it is cold out and it is cold in since I haven't turned the heat on yet. So Iw ore my fantastic fitting ultra-low-rise jeans from Old Navy. I couldn't find the belt that fits around my hips, so the pants go low, low, low. As I was reaching across the conveyer belt to grab the two liters of Diet Pepsi Jazz that was on sale for 2 for $1.00, I felt my sweater rise up. Normally something I would not even take notice of, except I felt a chill and then I realized that the entire store could see my thong. If I were 30 pounds thinner, this could be considered sexy. But since I'm not, I became THAT PERSON. That person that should not be wearing a thong and low-rise jeans. That person that people assume is trying to show off what she does not have. That person that makes a spectacle of themselves that people stare at. That person I so often laugh at, feel sorry for, tell stories about. It was me! I am now the story that people will use as an example. "Guess what I saw at the store today?" AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! It is probably a good thing that I have a healthy self-esteem and can find humor in my fashion faux pas. Otherwise, who knows how I would feel right now. I can only giggle.
Any volunteers to clean my toilets?
I got an e-mail the other day with the instructions to say one word about the person that sent it and e-mail the word back to them and then to send the e-mail out to my e-mail friends asking for them to say one word about me. I got funny, silly, smart and considerate. Considerate? That was really, really nice of the person to say. I was excited to get that word. I was afraid I was going to get annoying, selfish, or something like that.
The gophers are down by 2 touchdown in the first quarter. At least there are only 3 quarters left. I need to vacuum the living room, bring my summer shoes upstairs, fold clothes, sweep, and clean the toilets. Oh, and make the chili that I am really looking forward to. I am using the cheap hamburger that was on sale for $1 a pound. And the chili beans were on sale, so were the tomatoes. I'm going to make a vat of it and freeze some. And serve it with cornbread when Nick gets home from working on his car. The gophers just got a field goal! Now they are only down 14-3. My guess would be that the axe is staying in Wisconsin. The vikings can't lose tomorrow since they don't play, so at least something good will happen in my sports world this weekend.
Ok, I'm off to do my chores. Wouldn't it be lovely if I had a self-cleaning house? Or if I could take some high speed out of my computer???

I'm a car-pooler!!
I've never really car-pooled before, but this week the temp has been meeting me at Target and driving me to work. Awesome! Even though she smokes about a pack on the 20 mile drive, it still is nice to just sit and have her worry about traffic. It was her idea, and she really wanted to do it. Now I have to decide how much $$ to give her? Suggestions?
My feet still hurt!!. Really, really bad. What do I do?
Gas was $2.079!! That's practically free.
Tomorrow is ZickyZou's birthday!
Next Wenzday I am going out to lunch with ZarahZou. I miss her. It is very sad when I have something to say, and I turn around to say it but no one is listening.

The Twins Rock!!
The Twins won their division. This is soooooo exciting. Even Zicky Zou watch the end of the Detroit/KC game with me to see the Tigers lose and the Twins celebrate. I was so excited about that I didn't even care about how bad the Vikings sucked. GO, TWINS!!!
I am so totally rich. I just got a money order for $20 in the mail from one of my auctions. And I have over $20 in my paypal account after I transferred $61 to my checking account. What am I going to do with all that money? Besides pay bills, of course.
Zicky Zou started working the 12-9 shift today. That means I can pull my car into the garage and go to bed whenever I want because we decided to just switch cars back and forth so I don't have to sit and wait for him to get home. And I get the TV until 10:00! How much better could it get. Yes, I'm sad I won't see him that much, but as it is he works until at least 7 every night, most often later, so it's just a couple of hours. The only bad thing is that he won't be working every other Saturday, just 1/6 Saturdays. I really like Sat. Morning all alone. Oh, well.
Ok, I am going to make dinner....

I know what I know!!
Okay, you do not have to believe me if I tell you a procedure for doing something. But it is incredibly rude that when you don't like my answer you ask someone else what you should when I can overhear. Especially when you are asking someone that has earned the nickname DUMBLEDORK!! FYI- he does not have a clue about anything. Do not ask him what the commission is for hail. Do not ask him who to contact to bind something. Do not ask him about AOR's. There is a good chance that I am listening in, and there is an even better chance that I am going to interrupt and tell him he is wrong right when everyone else can hear. I am not doing that to be mean, I am trying to make you understand that he is CLUELESS!! There is a very good chance that I know what I am talking about. If I don't know an answer, I will make a phone call or two and find out. Just because he is 127 years old and used to own his own agency and fought in the civil war does not make him an insurance God.
I miss Zarah Zou. I miss her helping me out when I am really busy. I miss not having to explain something 87 times. I miss her being able to understand simple instructions. And I especially miss that she had faith that I was giving her the right answer. Or else she pretended she did. And I also miss her not thinking that Neville and Voldy knew anything about anything,. She was smart enough to not ask either of them a procedural question because she knew that they wouldn't know the right answers. It really sucks working with people that have respect for Voldy and Neville. and having to make sure that I don't accidentally make any remarks about their incompetence.
Ok, enough about work. My items sold on ebay, and I made a profit of $54.25. They sold for $84.25! $30 investment, $54 profit! Too bad I have to split that with my photographer. Still, I am rich!!!
Ok, I am going to work on cleaning my house since the faucet-fixer people are coming (my dad and older brother) to fix my leaky bathtub.

We're gonna win Twins, we're gonna score....
What a happy time the last few days have been in terms of MN sports. The Twins clinched a play-off spot!! They are going to the World Series! Yes, I know that a few games stand in between them and the championship, but if they keep playing the way they are now, they can't lose.
And Blake Hoffarber committed to be a Gopher! College basketball is my favorite sport to watch. I know that this season there are going to be some struggles for the TV between me and ZickyZou, but college basketbvall should certainly take precedent over a video game. Hopefully since he will be working the 12-9 shift, that should eliminate some of the conflict, so I just have to worry about Saturdays and Sundays. What if he tries to interfere with March Madness? We are definitely getting a pre-nup stating that should he not let me watch the NCAA finals, it is immediatge grounds for me to force him to stay at his parents house for the whole basketball play-off time. We have some major role-reversal going on. He does not watch any sports. I watch most all sports. Weird, huh? He'll watch a couple of innings or a quarter of something, but he does not revolve his life around basketball games like I do.
I got my $99 non-motorized treadmill. It will last at least 5-6 miles. It looks liek it is about to fall apart. But, it was only $99. And it is fold-up-able, so that's nice.
My zad bought a new faucet to replace my leaky bathtub. Now he just has to cut 2 holes in my closet wall to replace it.
Ok, I taking Miss Zalyssa and her friend Jessica to OCB for dinner. Too bad I am not that hungry....

I know pirates!
Ok, so I did not win the hole-in-one contest (The Pirate Plank-off). But Cindy and I did win both the Pirate movie trivia contest and the Treasure Hunt. This is very surprising and shocking because we answered about two of the trivia questions correctly before we realized how hard it was and we started answering goofy, silly answers. Who starred in the 1987 Pirate movie that...... well, Torii Hunter. And Name the captain of the pirate ship in.....Cindy? Ywah, we pretty much answered Bluebeard, Blackbeard, and Redbeard for just about every question. Apparently no one else know the answers either because we won!!! A half day of vacation for each of us. We rock!!!
I listed my first ever items on ebay. If you are interested in my listings, go to ebay.com and search by seller for divajennie. You can get a great deal on some philosophy samples or Serious Skin Care products. I am cleaning out my bathroom and making money! Every item I listed except one has at least one bid. I am going to be a zilllionaire. Actually, I will probably end up profiting about 16 cents after the listing fee, but I normally would just throw away the things I am not going to use, so that 16 cents is FREE!
I shampooed my carpets this morning. I went to bed at 8:30 last night. Yes, 8:30 on a Friday night. But I was sooooo tired. Then I got woken up by my cell phone ringing at 3:30. Whoever you are, I don't know you, please don't call me. 3:30 is not the time for a chat. If someone dies, call me. If you just want to make a new friend, wait until noon. I am much more pleasant. I will not swear at a wrong number at noon. I will at 3:30am. Then I went back to sleep and got woken up by ZickyZou's alarm clock at 7:00 and I got up and got out the shampooer and went to work. My carpets are almost clean.
I just got back from the grocery store. I got stuff to make enchiladas tonight. And Cub had chicken thighs and drumsticks for $1.00. So next week we are having chicken,, mashed potatoes and stuffing, yummo.
Okey, I need to check the Twins score and get started on shredding my Monterey Jack.....

Hole-in-freekin'-one
Yippee for me! I hit a hole-in-one in the United Way long putt competition today on my second shot!! It really doesn't;t mean much, a trip to the play-off's against people who golf twice a week, but at least I made it. I rock!
And since this is my blog and no one really reads it (except maybe Zarah Zou) I can write that I hit the hole-in-one while suffering from the worst cramps of my entire life. Like really, really painful cramps. Plus I'm cranky.
I bought a second pair of jeans from Old Navy. I now have a total of 4 pairs of jeans that fit. In case anyone cares, that would be 16% of my jeans that fit. Sad.
Watching the Twins is fun. They are playing so well, it is getting really exciting.
Miss Zalyssa still has a stomach ache, but it appears to be getting a little bit better. Now her hip hurts. I wish I could help her feel better. At least she is going to bed around 9:00 every night.
OK, it is getting late and I still have to fill up my water bottles and make Zicky Zou's lunch.....

Overtime!
The Vikings won in ot. I love football and I love the Vikings. The only bad part was that when we were leaving, we went into the wrong side of the parking ramp and didn't discover it until we had walked up 7 flights of stairs. Then we had to walk back down, walk 2 blocks, and walk up 7 more flights. I do not like stairs very much. Then on the way home we (My sister Zisa and me) stopped at McDonalds to get Zalyssa dinner and the only form of currency I brought with me was an expired credit card. Thank you to Zisa for paying.
I would much prefer to spend tomorrow in bed. Too bad I have the late shift. And not only am I no longer able to talk to ZarahZou all day, but my friend that I e-mail with all day is training her replacement for her job since she's moving, and so I can't e-mail her all day, either. I will be so only.
Well, Zalyssa needs help with her homework, so I am off to figure out speed and velocity.

My feet hurt!
I took MissZalyssa back to the doctor today. I had to take her to the Robbinsdale clinic, right next to North Memorial. It was very nice that the parking ramp was closed for maintenance and I couldn't find a place to park. We ended up on a side street in one hour parking. Nice! How can you close a parking ramp that is the only available parking in the whole area? Can't they "maintenance" one level at a time?
Anyhow, still no idea what is wrong with her. She still has a stomach ache, but the fever is gone. She had more tests and a rather personal exam that we are not going to talk about. And the doctor just said to keep taking the Prilosec, come back in 4-6 weeks, and if anything major happens (extreme pain, vomiting blood) to bring her in right away or go to the ER. She seems to feel a little better, so that's good.
We went to the Mall of America yesterday. That could be why my feet hurt, 5 hours of walking around the mall. I went to Trade Secret and bought some Nail Envy by O.P.I. I had to choose between the bottle of stuff for $14.95 or the bottle of stuff plus free nail polish remover and remover pads for $14.95 on sale for 30% off. It was a rather difficult decision. More items for less money??? Guess which one I went with?
I just dropped Zalyssa and Ashley off at Target. The house is so quiet. I want to turn on the tv, but I also want to maintain the quietness.
I am reading an excellent book, Judge and Jury, by Jonathan Patterson and some other guy, maybe the guy he wrote The Jester with? The book is really good, sort of John Girsham-ish. About the mob and a trial and people getting blown up. Very intriguing.
Vikings game tomorrow. I can't wait. Free tickets plus a free parking pass. I have the late shift on Monday so I don't need to be at work until 10:00, plus I can wear jeans because it's United Way week.
Ok, I am going to enjoy the silence for the next few minutes....

I'm her mom, dang it!
Ok, so MissZalyssa had a really bad stomach-ache. Moaning and crying bad. And it's been bad for about 3 days and she has a fever. So I left work early to take her to see the doctor since she stayed home from school today. So, the reception told me I couldn't sign the forms since I'm her sister. Then I said "I'm her mom". Then the receptionist-lady says "You look more like her sister". So I threw a pen at her. Well, not really but I wanted to. Then we went and saw the doctor and the doctor decided on x-rays after she did urine tests, blood tests, and an exam. The nurse who came to get Alyssa to go to x-rays asked if I wanted to come with. Then she said "And your her sister?". Jeesh. "I'm her mom!". You would think with the was that the media talks about the epidemic of teenage pregnancy that it would not be unusual for a younger mother to bring her child into the doctors office and actually be the mom. My doctor knows I'm the mom. Do I have to wear a sign? I'm the mom. I may be only 31, but I can still recall the pain and terror of giving birth 14 &1/2 years ago. If she's not my child, then some other 14 year old is.
Anyways, the poor childs stomach. The doctor was unable to determine a cause. She ended up with "Maybe an ulcer or some sort of irritation in the stomach, probably". Then she wrote her a prescription for Prilosec and (Good news!) I am taking her back to see the doctor on Saturday morning at 8:30 am for a follow-up. Lovely! I just hope MissZalyssa feels better soon.
My favoritest friend, ZarahZou baked me a loaf of bread. She is so nice. I really miss working with her. (sniffle, sniffle). But I left it on my desk. Ten bucks says that MissScuzzy ate it as soon as I left. Well, I ripped off a huge chunk for breakfast, but she probably ate the rest.
ok, shower time....

My myspace friends
I have 5 Myspace friends!!! And yes, Tom is my friend.
I think my newest addiction is Temp-tations bakeware from QVC. So far I have only bought 4 pieces, but I almost bought a few more until I remembered that I don't really like to use real dishes because I much prefer the ease of disposable aluminum pans. I have every intention of buying at least 4 or 5 more pieces, though. They look really nice sitting on top of my cupboard. Someday I'll post a picture of my new best friends. If you want see what it looks like, go to qvc.com and search for Santo Mauro.
I am taking off of work early on Friday and going to the MOA with my sister. And I get to wear jeans tomorrow and Thursday because I still have 2 United Way jeans days left. I did originally give one of them to ZarahZou, but since she left I decided that it doesn't count and I can reuse it. Allegedly we have a temp starting tomorrow to train for when knee-replacement-guy goes out on leave. I can not verify that because I heard it from someone in another department and not from my supervisor. They (meaning my supervisors) wouldn't bring someone new in and not tell the department, would they?
I am going to the Vikings game on Sunday with my sister. I hope they win. How awesome would it be to start the season 2-0???
Ok, off to finish the dishes.....

"Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament"
They (meaning the city workers) installed a couple of turn-abouts in our city, and I was driving Zalyssa and her friends around, and I decided to drive around in a circle until they got dizzy. It reminded me of the part in European Vacation where Chevy Chase gets stuck in the circle all day and keeps pointing out to the kids Big Ben and Parliament. That was funny.
Tomorrow I am picking my sister up at the airport. She is home from Iraq on r&r for two weeks. I haven't seen her in about a year. After the 2 weeks, she goes back there for another 6 months.
My house smells like bleach. But it is clean. Very. very clean. I spent about 5 hours cleaning today. I still have a little bit to do, but
I'm watching a cheesy lifetime movie, and the mom is making her son heart shaped french toast. Sweet, but what a waste of bread. I wonder what ZickyZou would say if I made him heart=shaped french toast. Would he even notice that they were shaped like hearts?
I bought a melon flavored Propel water. It is different, in a weird kind of way.
Ok, I am off to make pasketti sauce for dinner....

Post-it notes everywhere!!
Zarah-Zou left me miscellaneous post-it notes all over my desk. At first the ones I found made me smile. Now they make me sad because I found a really cute one about lip gloss and I realized that I am totally alone at my desk with no one to talk to. I am surrounded by dumb people (Dumbly) or arrogant people (NewGuy-very smart, but I doubt he'd want to have a discussion about a Sophie Kinsella novel). I actually had to have a conversation with a sales rep today because I really wanted to talk to someone. At least now Mr. Michigan knows all about how my daughter is starting high school and that I am glad I don't have 3 boys like he does. I almost started to get all teary when I found the note in my calendar. I seriously miss ZarahZou. She can make it up to me though by discovering a cure for dehydration from inhaling silica gel. I am so thirsty and and am using hand lotion about 47 times a day. It has to be from the silica gel.
I just got back from taking MissZalyssa to Plato's Closet, Walmart, and Joanne Fabrics. I bought the bestest smelling candle and came right home to light it. I also detoured to Paris and got ZarahZou a souvenir from my travels. It was a long trip. And just because the packaging says "Joanne's" does not mean it is from Joanne's. Joanne's is French for Paris.
I took MissZalyssa and her friend Jessica to Baker's Square for dinner. Did you know that they now charge you $.69 for a side of honey mustard? I'm boycotting them. And I had to leave a $5 tip because I didn't have anything smaller.
In case anybody besides me cares, I bound over $100,000 worth of policies for 9/1. Mr.Cody sold a $24K hail policy! I am very happy for him since he has lost so much business to the stupid company that starts with Fed. And Mr. Slimowa sold a work comp for $12K, but he had to include a note that the quote he sold (from gprobe) was $4k less than Gee-e. Nice, but I also gave him a stupid Am-I-Trust quote that was less than a $1000 more. Whatever.
ZickyZou is in the shower, MissZalyssa and Jessica ar at Target, and the Twins are getting their azz kicked by the Yankees. At least my candle smells good.
well, I am going to go and admire the new baking dishes and trivets that I just got in the mail from QVC. I can not wait until Thanksgiving. The littlest one will be perfect for cranberries. The middle one is the perfectest size for candied sweet potatoes, and the large one will make a great green bean casserole. I can't wait. I am so excited to try them out.
