IPhone Love Affair

Image
I freaking love my Iphone When it was new everyone was all like: It doesnt do this or that or blah or its expensive or ill wait for version 2 yadda yadda I even had one guy I worked with try vehemently to talk me out of buying one? All he accomplished was the nickname IPHONE HATER now and forever more. Why I liked it and was so excited is because I knew it is an itty bitty computer with a blank screen. Get it? It software driven! It will change ALL the TIME. EVERY DAY if you like Wipe it and start all over! Do you see now? So anywhooooo... I am a huge iphone application freak So dear internet, I feel that I would do you a grave injustice if i didnt gush all about my secret obsession(s) I therefore willtell you about the best applications I have found. By best I mean like BEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD!! (at least this week ) Shazam Point it at a song playing on radio it identifies it!

Stop Yelling at Me

Ok ,I know that wii fit is all the rage And I suppose it is good for a work out But me being such a lazy creature, I thought dance dance revolution would give me a good work out But when did video games become so rude? After trying hopelessly to keep up with the stupid arrows It would yell at me to stop looking with my eyes and feel the beat The word boo shows up if you miss a step It grades you And a big fat FAIL shows up at end. I was hoping this would be a bit kinder then guitar hero They tend to BOOOO you off stage And throw bottles at your rocker. No way am I getting a wii fit I heard they change your avatar in the shape of what you weigh on the fit board So mine would be what? Round , fat and sweaty? Um no thanks! LOL But the good news is At least I am moving a bit!

Mouth Wide Open

So I got my eyelash extensions done on Sunday And you have to sit there with your eyes closed entire time and my beautician is so sweet. She doesn’t seem to mind when my eyes close my mouth opens wide and doesn’t close THE ENTIRE TIME Things discussed within the 45 minutes of none stop yammering: * My Girls fiancés is taking her name but it doesn’t matter his is boring * Horrible names of men we know * I gave a woman an I love Dick keychain, her husbands name is Richard * I told her they were out of I love Peter ones * Her Dick of a husband wanted to know who pPeter was * How much weddings cost * She spent way too much on hers and we should sooo do Vegas instead * Mexico had a queue on their marriages at resort * I am her favorite customer some customers act uppity * I noticed all people getting pedicures act uppity * She told me they are forced to give them to be licensed * Some students need nerve pills to do them * How much I hate feet. * Told her dear hubby cut me with his toe na...

Today it is cold and dreary out. Unreasonable wind chills and snow that wont go away. Christmas bills coming in Taxes coming due. It would almost get me down if I didnt look over to this scene Doesnt he look content?

Honestly, I am not that Popular

So my sweet friend nominated me for a blog award. The honest scrap award located here She also challenged me to do the same to 7 others. The thing is list 10 honest AND interesting things about yourself. We all know lists are no problem. I adore lists. The other requirement? Honesty? Easy enough. Interesting? That could be tricky. I never claimed I was interesting and quite frankly I bore myself silly at times. Last thing nominate 7 others for it. I just said I was honest and uninteresting, it should come as no suprise I dont have seven friends. Since I am one to never leave a task that can be done half arsed, as shown here , I will list seven instead. 1. I can never wear the same pair of pantyhose twice. 2. I have wild crazy elaborate daydreams. 3. I have always felt I was meant to do something great in my life. 4. I have lived in the same house for 18 years because I am too lazy to move 5. I worry about my daughter a lot and hope she is happy. 6. I never want to live alone. 7. I car...

Luxurious Town Living

Image
When my mother was ready to leave her home in the country, I insisted she move to town. One reason, she would be close to me of course, what an incentive that is in it self. She could come clean my house for spending money She could even cook for us! Wow! The other, of course, was the beauty of town living. Beautiful things like: Food delivery Shopping proximity Trash pick up Sewer Curbside Recycling But the main selling point, obviously, is winter driving. The secondary country roads are woefully neglected. Residents drive perilously down unlighted, tenuous, winding paths There is neither a glimmer of salt nor a hope of a snow plow. But in town, I told her, the roads are cleaned right away. They even plow the alley ways Even if they don’t, with all the traffic, there are clear tracks to navigate by 8 am The snow is ALWAYS cleared away and gone by noon. Who wouldn’t live here? So of course she moves here. AND We have sub-zero weather and non-stop snow. So of course I was a liar, she cl...

(she is so cute but so tough too)

Sprinkle Water on your Brow

I, among other talents, can whip up a great tasting home made meal. That is not to say I am a good cook. I am however creative. I like To think of myself as queen of the 10 minute prep meal. Tonight I am making one of my favorite dishes. Home made Vegetable Soup: What you will be served, a steaming bowl of tomatoes based soup with a mixture of variable spices Succulent beef that falls apart at the touch, green beans, corn, peas, potatoes, onions, carrots and is that a hint of celery? DELISH! How it is made 1 huge cans V8 Juice 1 huge can of beef meat 2 cans whole new potatoes 1 can of corn 1 can of green beans 1 can mix veggies 1 can opener Thrown in a pot and cooked for an hour Sprinkle water on forehead to simulate sweat Yell at everyone to leave you alone for god sake I am trying to cook. Basque in the praise. SHHHH internet don’t tell anyone ;)

Golden Nuggets

Being the worldly mature wise woman that I am, I thought I would share with my dear friend THE INTERNET some of the golden nuggets of wisdom I have accumulated over the years. If a dog eats a tampon it comes out whole. If you mow over it in the yard puffs of white confetti shoot out the side. If you have hemorrhoids and wear a girdle, it will speed healing and ease pain Caffeine withdraws causes severe headaches and can take weeks to go away. When your kids are older they won’t talk of the trip to Disneyland but will go on about the times you sat under their fort and played Babies. EX-Smokers are not preachy pushy because they want to help you, they miss smoking and you are enjoying it way too much. Some women love to complain There isn’t much you can’t buy. If you sing out loud in your car at the top of your lungs with your kids they will do the same with theirs. If you do it with your husband they will tell you to shut up Video games are addicting Some people don’t want to laugh Be a...

Freedom

It’s official. As of yesterday I have went from full time cube dweller office goddess to part time have not a clue peon. Yay! I have been at the same office job for 13 years and although I love (loathe) it, the hours were killing me. I have my own thing going on at home and don’t really need the office work. It was more where would I drive my sweet ride and snazzy clothes sort of thing. That and a little bit of company loyalty mixed in with one of my best friends works there. Also the work environment is one that is cutting edge techie and I eat that up too. But enough of that boring dribble, after months of finagling complaining moaning threats etc they agreed to let me work half days. Imagine all the wonderful things I will accomplish with all this time now Internet. Here is a Short list of things I plan to do: Shop so we actually have food in the house for once. Pay my bills on time and organize them by expense type and soon to be created budget Teach the dog how to heel stay and lo...
