Do I have to Close My Eyes?

I stuck Tom Cruise...really.

Blog Maintenance...

I reread most of my blog today....it is not very long because it is only a few short months old.

Why did I do this, you ask? Ok, so you didn't ask, but I am going to tell you anyway, because your not asking never stopped me before, now did it?

• I found a few typos and fixed those.
  
• I tend to write whatever is on my mind at the time. I try not to use names, but fail if the named person has really pissed me off. I removed those names.
  
• Sometimes I refer to people who, if they read my blog, would definitely know that I am referring to them. Sometimes I do not refer to them in a way that they would appreciate (even though I meant it in the nicest way possible). I removed those references.
  

Enjoy!!!

It's the weekend...

Got a good start to the weekend...

• Yes, I made it to Bally's:)
• Yes, I got a few much needed groceries after Bally's (for G-man, really).
• Yes, I did a load of dishes (ok, I admit, I have a dishwasher).
• Yes, I read and replied to all my emails.

Now it is time to get off my butt and do some real work, like laundry and cleaning....ugh.

But first....

What I learned today (that ya think I would know by now)....

• It is best to wait an hour after opening to go to Bally's on Saturday...cuz the whole neighborhood is there when it opens and it is crowded and noisy....ugh
  
  
• Take the damn list to the grocery story....as soon as I walked in the door I realized that I forgot at least 3 things on the list ...of course it may have helped if I had written the list down on paper instead of leaving it in my head...
  

Today I learned...

At the local high school football game....

• The best action takes place on the field....Go Rebs! Thanks for running (over) a Blue Streak in that come from behind win!
  
  
• Second best action takes place in the student cheering section which was minus 5 CUI (cheering under the influence) students by halftime...
  
  
• And then there is the parent cheering section...what a blast we have...victory is ours... in more ways than one!
  

I really need to get to Bally's....

An Apology...

This is a formal apology to all of those who have or are being or ever will be hurt by a certain player out there (look - no names or initials or references to anything about him).

I apologize that I do not know the law and that I do not care enough to learn what I need to know at this time....


Today I learned...

• I hate insurance policies:)

Today I Learned....

Dinner with co-workers can be a fun and enlightening experience....

hmmm...

What I learned yesterday....

Sharing the news about the possibility of impending doom with your boss (and his boss and her boss and her boss) makes for a better relationship...

We are actually getting along...thanks lc

What I learned today....

From My Mom....

1. The nicest thing about the future is it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that, at class reunions, you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who anxiously awaits his 16th birthday.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4AM : It could be a right number.
13. No one ever says "It's only a game" when their team's winning.
14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize in about 40 years we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can't buy happiness - but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than in a Kia.

This weekend I learned....

I had a pretty good weekend....cuz I love family time

But if I do not end it and get to sleep, I will not have a good day tomorrow..unless sleeping at my desk counts for a good day...

So I will make this short and sweet....

Friday was football dinner where I embarrassed my son enough that he did not talk to me the rest of the night....oh well, shit happens, my bad, I'm sorry for loving you....

Then walked to a neighborhood pampered chef party (yummy) at which I spent money I did not intend to spend on cool things I did not need:) Spoil me - yay!

Saturday was clean the house a little, run to Bath to pick up my son who is in town, back to Willo-town, then to football, Go Rebs! Go #25 - 4 TD's, one for me, one for your brother, one for your GF, and one for what's her name:)

Then out on the town - cuz it is now Sunday and my birthday:) And my son is taking us out. His gift is the tab, and he wants it to be a big gift, so how many shots can Mom do before the bar closes? Luckily we have a driver in the family who is too young to drink...thanks for the ride, G-Man. I had so much fun..only a little too much. My daughter was the smart one, refusing all but one shot. Her boyfriend was gone before the shots started...but that did not stop him from happy shotting birthday with me:)

G-Man started a new job Sunday - after he picked up the house for me...

My favorite daughter made me the most awesome matching candle holders and vase. I will take a picture and post...but not tonight - gotta get some sleep...

We ordered pizza and my Mom and Dad visited. Then I brought ldboy to Copley, came home and had brownies and ice cream with G-Man and his girlfriend.

Then I wrote some emails and reread LC's blog in a whole new light:) WOW!!! Thanks for the insight, D.

G-Man has asked me to get up early, skip Bally's to visit Dunkin Donuts because he feels the need to feed the lineman breakfast after they blocked for his 154 yards and 4 TDs....

So before I drift off to sleep to dream of tomorrows....

What did I learn this weekend...
...you can find something good in almost every experience...I have made a new friend because I lost what I thought was a love. Welcome new friend...Kiss my ass, LC...oh wait you did that already....

Good night!
