All by myseeeeelllfff

I am the only one at work today.
Hence I made some executive decisions:
1. Bring TV in and watch it



2. Wear jeans



Currently watching:
Family Feud
(I am shouting out answers)



Future plans for today:
-watch TV
-get Chinese for lunch
-hope the snow keeps falling
-go play with the dogs who are at work with me
-decide exactly how early to leave to get on the road to Columbus

Only the best!

I just finalized the reservations for my sweet fur babies to stay here:

when we go to FL to get married.

Take some time to look around the site- it's hilarious!

think I'll spend $25 so that they can take a limo ride to McDonald's?
or $50 for a Hyde Park steak?

I am being tormented at work...

by "them".....

Ahhhhh

Tidbit about JAR/JAM:
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the smell of Christmas trees.
My goal this year is to convince Bill to allow us to get a real (small) one in the condo.
When I was younger and I used to go with my father to get a tree, I would collect branches from the ground of the "farm" where we bought our tree, and place the branches all around my room. Specifically near my bed, so I could smell it while laying down.
Nothing has changed.
It is Christmas wreath time where I work so I convinced (told) the guys from outside to bring a wreath inside so I could inhale the smell all day while pretending to work.
Enjoy!

A post and some pictures

So I managed to solve my typewriter issue yesterday...
find someone else to do the typing!!
score!



My back is slightly looser...go on, I know you know what to say here...

Bill got to go to the island yesterday to winterize our golf cart (love you LEIGC)...



and when he got home, he gave me a present!!!:



Talked with god for a while (my uncle, aren't I lucky?)
and we had a good laugh about our favorite Far Side Cartoon...
I'll post it here but I know it's hard to see.

Most fans of the Far Side are probably familiar with this one.
I get da nuts Squeezle, I get da nuts!!

Tonight- dinner at Lola's!!! My quandry, if you can call it that, is whether or not I should stick with my FAVORITE item there, the short ribs, or try to branch out and order something new.

Back into rage mode

1. I hurt my back. Now I waddle around like the 400lb gorilla I work with.
2. The afore-mentioned 400lb gorilla is not at work, AGAIN!. This means I get to do all of her grunt work- i.e. all of her TYPING on the TYPEWRITER!
Yes I am aware that it is 2008 and we (SHE) still uses a typewriter.
Well her normal typewriter broke- go figure!!- so INSTEAD OF SWITCHING OVER TO USE THE COMPUER 100%- the decision is made (obviously not by me) to go into the basement and get one of the OLDER typewriters to use.
My head hurts more than my back now because I just put my head through the window.

Here is a picture of my nightmare:



Say a prayer for me.

My hero...and other stuff...

Well it's time for Thanksgiving!!!
My "friends" have appeared and I was really excited to greet them!



For those that are NOT from Florida- this family is from Publix (supermarket) and they start showing up in commercials in October.
I love them.

And now onto my hero.
Some may know him as Bill...some may know him as Teets...to me, he is the GREAT FAN INSTALLER!!!
We now have a bedroom ceiling fan.
My nightly menopausal heat waves are over!!!
The great part, is that mid-fan installation, Bill ran into a bit of a problem.
Something to do with the bolts, whatever I don't know- he was getting really frustrated. The solution was to turn around and head back to Home Depot to get more parts. I felt bad for him when he left. He was not happy.
Scary Bill!
Anyhoo to my surprise he walked back in only about 5 minutes later with parts in hand...how you may ask?
My crafy husband decided to just check the condo utility room, (yeah the dopes here leave that shit OPEN and UNLOCKED- arghhh) and found the parts there!!
GENIUS!
Thanks Billy!

Wedding stuff

I'm going to be blogging often today.
bc well I'm bored.

So here goes:

So as some of you may know, Bill and I are married.
Legally.
I say "legally" not because I am highly religious and we haven't been married before g-o-d but because I am highly "family oriented" and we haven't yet been married before our combined families...
anyhoo- Bill and I jointly decided that we wanted to be married in front of our families so we (and when I say "we" I mean my parents) planned a pretty special day for us.
but very non-traditional.
just a luncheon and then back to my father's house to watch COLLEGE FOOTBALL- (dear heavenly whoever, please please don't make the Gators play the Buckeyes that day...)-
even as non-traditional as I wanted this to be, I am bending a bit (go ahead say it...THATSWHATSHESAID) bc I am my father's only daughter and he wants it a bit more traditional...
so for our NON-WEDDING here is what we are having musically...

-Ceremony: Harpist
-Luncheon: Band
-After reception at my father's house (and remember our goal is to watch football and hang out): one man band with steel drum who can sing pop music

yep.
all of that for 40 or so people.

TGIF AND f you Browns Defense

If you read this blog of Bill's:
http://billtblogs.blogspot.com/2008/11/here-comes-change.html
then you know it was a bit controversial...(see all the comments)...

Well, I just read a comment that I think SAYS IT ALL!
I loved it so much, that I decided to make it my blog for today...
GREAT JOB LEGEND 33!!!!!!

I am far from republican...but I always supported my canditates, from Clinton vs. Dole in my first election to now. However if it takes a minority to inspire you to vote, or makes you feel good to say "It's good all black kids have hope not to be just a rapper/NBA player" that's just as bad as being apathetic when there was a "boring" read: Al Gore type running.

Whoever said little black kids had to be rappers BEFORE Obama anyways? I cannot stand all this bullshit - oh now my kids can do anything they want now, since Obama's in. What changed in the last 48 hours? Did you stop having kids you can't afford with multiple fathers? Are you going to work and paying taxes instead of bleeding the welfare system? Please. The main problem you're going to have is the payday cash xpress loans are going to be shut down since Issue 5 passed, ouch!

I just want to know one thing - did everyone in the special olympics think - "hey I can be president one day?" when W got elected? Sorry, it had to be said lol.

-Legend

...

just waiting for Bill's blog today!!!
I bet it will be a GOOD one!!!

TIME TO RANT

this is going to be full of spelling mistakes bc i am so mad i am just typing...

I AM SICK OF OLD PEOPLE HATING COMPUTERS!
I AM SICK OF OLD FAT HOGS WHINING IN HER OFFICE AND CURSING UNDER HER BREATH BC SHE IS ADDING FIGURES ON HER ADDING MACHINE INSTEAD OF USING THE FUCKING QUICKBOOKS PROGRAM!
I AM SICK OF GOING INTO HER OFFICE TO SHOW HER THAT THE INFORMATION SHE THINKS IS MISSING IS RIGHT THERE IN FUCKING FRONT OF HER!
I AM SICK OF RECEIPTING THINGS IN 4 DIFFERENT PLACES BC THE 2 COMPUTER HATERS DONT "TRUST" QUICKBOOKS- A PROGRAM THAT MILLIONS OF BUSINESSES USE!!!!!!!!!!!

oh man.

Let them eat cake!!!

Here is a picture I had to draw this morning to illustrate how I would like my wedding cake to look:



a. I don't really even want a cake that much bc we aren't having the traditional wedding

b. Bill hates cake

c. It's super hard to "design" this when I am in Ohio- plus my parents got to do the best part, THE TASTING!!


I know I know- I should quit my job and become an artist....

I miss my bed

NO, I didn't vote today- I voted last week by MAILING in my ballot.
Why the f would I even think about standing in a 5 hour line??!!!!
Why doesn't everyone vote by mail???!!!
I listen to people whine about having to take off work and stand in line yada yada yada, well look in the mirror when you want to whine about that. VOTE BY MAIL next time.
sheesh.

I am obviously a bit tired today (cranky? or tired, hmmm).
I stayed up extra late (even later than Bill) to make sure that Clinton Portis did what he needed to do so that my team would win in Fantasy Football.
I won.
This week I play Bill.
It could get ugly (read: it "will" get ugly).

I am thankful that Bill and I are perfectly matched politically.
We pretty much agree on all issues.
So while we don't agree at all most of the time during NCAA Football season, at least we aren't battling it out during this Election.

what else what else....

I had my Bachelorette party and as soon as I get pictures, I will find some that are"appropriate to post"...
Highlights:
I wore granny panties on the outside of my jeans all night.
I danced with someone who apparently was a real life "gangsta"...
I fell in love.- with the macaroni and cheese at Lolita's.
I didn't puke in public.

More later, someone asked me to do something at work- WTF??!! I don't normally like to do any actual work until at least 10am.
