Clean the house?

This morning, G-man asked if I was going to clean the house today...
To that I say (among other things, not so polite)...If you are looking for some of your stuff later, G-man,...well, I cleaned house...:)

Finally...

I got my outside holdiday lights up!

...and I did it all by myself.....

Thanks for sharing, D...

Say What?

Last night before I left work, I called G-Man to see what he was up to for the evening. I caught him in the middle of a nap, but he was able to wake up enough to let me know he was heading over to Ames in a bit...

Me: So, what about dinner?
G-man: What about it? I am going over Ames...
Me: For dinner?
G-man: uh-yeah...
Me: You are sure? You sound a little not sure.
G-man: I'm trying to sleep.
Me: Ok, sorry...I will not worry about dinner for you...
G-man: Why not?
Me: Cuz
you just said you are eating at Ames...
G-man: So...I will be hungry later..I am eating both places...
Me: Say, what?
G-man: Let me sleep..I'm hungry...I'll talk to you later...when I get back..
Me: After dinner?
G-man: Yeah...no..before dinner...bye.. (click)

Ok, then...
(I learned later that he was not as out of it as I thought...he did eat again when he got home...)

Hello Bambi?

I have my ex as a contact on one of my buddy lists. It is a great way to ask him something about the kids or give him some info we need to share and get an immediate response...

Anyway, his buddy status this week has been Hello, Bambi.

Hmmm, dare I ask....

I know it is deer season...and I know he hunts deer, but I will start crying if he tells me he killed Bambi...

Hopefully, he just met the girl of his dreams...

Thinking ahead to the New Year...

Lately, I seem to have a lot of random thoughts running through my mind.
And where do they end up? In an email to the last person who sent me one...
I think my 2009 New year's resolution will be to blog more and email less...or at least more concisely (is that a word?)

I looked at the email trail between my brother and myself today and then between myself and another friend, and I started feeling sorry for them..actually, they were probably feeling a lot sorrier for themselves that they ever sent a simple "hi - how are ya" email to begin with and then even sorrier when they replied to my reply....and even sorrier...you get the picture...

And it is not like I spent all day emailing...I actually had a very productive day at work...let me tell you about it...just kidding...:)

Hmmm....

I was browsing news headlines during lunch break today and I found this interesting article...

Woman Claims To Find Virgin Mary Image In MRI

Wonder what my brain MRI says about me....

Just what I thought - nothing I did not already know....(if you cannot read the MRI, email me for an explanation at phillipia@yahoo.com)

The plan....

I am not one for political conversations....but I thought this was a well thought out plan...

Bush will resign now.
Then Dick Cheney becomes President.
Then he appoints Condoleeza Rice as VP.
Then Cheney resigns two weeks later and Condoleeza Rice, a Republican, becomes the first BLACK President and the first WOMAN President!!!

Think that will tick off the Democrats?


Thanks to MSC...

Not-so-sweet dreams...

I used to dream almost every night...but for the longest time, I did not dream at all....

...at least not when I slept...I mean, I am not dead and I often day dream about that hot knight in shining armor coming to take me away to a life of romance and all that happily ever after brings....but I digress...

Lately, I am back to dreaming almost every night....all night...waking up from a weird one and falling right back asleep into another even weirder one...

By weird I mean all mixed up, people from my past and present all tangled in there together... reality dreams, but not the kind of reality I would want to be living or reliving...

About right now, I could really use a shining knight, happily ever after dream...or reality...

Early Morning Trek...

Traditionally, I fill a shoe (or boot) for whoever is at my house on the morning of St. Nick's...
This year, I just kind of let it slip through...not giving it much thought for a couple reasons.
First, finances are tighter than any other Christmas season I have celebrated...
Second, I never know who, how many, or if any, of G-man's friends will be spending the night.

Well, I goofed...

With G-man's renewed interest in Catholicism, I should have realized that he would be reminded of St. Nick through other sources...

And wouldn't it ya know it, I woke to a shoe set outside my bedroom door filled with one of my favorite snacks - pistachios....

So, I made a quick jaunt up to the corner Speedway....gum, gas card...

Thanks, G-man, for setting me straight....

Thanks in advance, ldboy, cuz I know, after reading this, you will not tell your brother about my lapse of Christmas Spirit:)

I am missing you ldboy, and your sister ...everyone is so busy...cannot wait for Christmas when we will all be together again at least for awhile...

Happy belated St. Nick's to all...
