Addition to Wish List

I went out shopping today, and I wanted to add the following to my Christmas list:

Indoor/Outdoor digital thermometer


So, that's all I can think of right now... more updates to come

Christmas Shopping

Today was the day I was going to start my Christmas shopping. My goal is to finish all of my Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving, so that I can get all of my packages out on the Horner express to the big KY, but alas, I spent over $200 and I am still without any holiday cheer or presents for that matter. But Lestat should be happy with two new tires.

Birthday

Today, I was queen. Kinda boring, but good. Thanks to JoJo who sent me a lot of love through her away message! And thanks to Karen for remembering too! I bought a little carrot cake and a candle and Andrew sang happy birthday to me over the phone. It was great! Tomorrow I get my first hearing test since elementary school. Good times!

Christmas Wish List:

Here is the current list... please leave a comment if you have already purchased one of these gifts so that there are no repeats. :)


Blender (glass jar please)
Business Card holder (silver)


so it's a pretty short list right now... I'll try to keep it updated. Please remember that anything I get at home will have to make the plane ride home with me. :)

Addict

I have now become addicted to "Desperate Housewives." Thanks to Johanna, I have now dedicated a hour of each Sunday to this show. But what am I going to do when between 8pm and 9pm I am on the road somewhere between Madison and Wisconsion Dells? I wonder if I can get it on the radio... old skool it up! If anyone could record it for me, that would be great!

Next Sunday, 8pm central time ABC

Someone help me out!

To the Polls!

Tomorrow all of the stupid ads will be coming off my television. What ever will the networks do with all that free time? A few things that have been puzzling me during all of this campaigning....
Two of the issues that the Democrats have been pushing are that
1) They want to get lower cost prescriptions from Canada and
2) More high-tech and better paying jobs for Americans.

Now let's think about this... So we start getting our prescription drugs from Canada, this means that Canadians are making the drugs. Canadians are getting the jobs. There are about 14,000 chemist working for pharmaceutical companies in the US, making $32,000 to $71,000/yr. That sounds like a "high tech and better paying job" that we're shipping out to Canada. And that's just chemist. What about managers, hourly workers, sales, logistics, etc?

And I have one last beef... And it's with Ms. Patty Wetterling. How many times must you call me? And if you're going to harass me, don't list your number.... It makes it really hard for me not to just call you up and solicit something from you. Goodness, I'm not even registered! Speaking of which... I need someone to vouch for me tomorrow.

What were the words again?

Last night I was watching SNL... and as we all know, it's gotten pretty bad. But, like an idiot, I watched on. Eminem was on doing his little rap thingie and I noticed a few things. First, the man can't dance at all. He just stood there kinda bouncing, every once in a while removing his right hand from his crotch, waving it around, only to return to protecting his manhood or something. Another interesting thing I noticed is that he was constantly looking at the little monitors that give him the words to the song. Doesn't he write his own songs? I think I would have prepped a little more. Hell, he was even reading during the chorus. I don't understand. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you shouldn't at least try to work at your job.

Sad Day...

Laundry

I'd just like to say that I love the smell of clean laundry! As soon as I pull those clean fluffy towels out of the dryer, I like to rub them all over my face and just breathe in the fresh scent. And I think even more, I love the smell of a bleached white load. It's like freshness to the x power! If only I could figure out how to run the dryer all day without eating up my electricity and shrinking my clothes, I would be an amazingly happy girl!

Waxing

I waxed my legs for the second time in my life tonight. One thing that I highly recommend is to putting baby oil on first... it keeps from pulling up the skin. All in all it worked pretty well, but I'm not very good with getting everything yet... so still some spots to shave. I know this is probably TMI for lots of people, but you choose to read on!

No Love!

So there haven't been any requests for more blogs links to be added to my sidebar. I feel so unloved! Is there no one who wants to be associated with my blog? Is it really that bad?

Johanna loves me! She's been here since Friday, and we have made sure that we have laughed loudly everywhere we go, informing people that only hookers should be buying the hot pink shoes and that some ladies are just way too old to be shopping in some stores. And why the hell would you have someone looking at rings try on the yellow ones? I'm not even an expert and I could tell that the color of the diamonds were at least an H. Silly Barbie sales lady. And no, I'm not expecting anything. Nothing. Zip.

New Feature

Andrew hooked me up with a "Links" section on my sidebar so now I can link to everyone else's blogs. If you want your blog linked to mine, just leave the address and a name in the comments section and I'll add it in when I get time, so probably within 2-3 hours. :) Andrew is also going to let me have some space on his server, so I'll be able to post pictures when my scanner gets here. Uber excited about that one.

No need to worry

So my dear mother asked me, "What's this deal with the hole in your hand?" The complete story is as follows:

As I was leaving work on Monday, I tryed to stop the door from slamming behind me and I was so successful that I got my finger stuck in the door. Now these are some seriously heavy metal doors. My nail immediately started to turn blue and hurt like nothing I can recall in recent memory. I tried to run it under cold water, but was unable to get the water cold enough. I felt like crying. I drove home and put ice on it just to numb it. I then called a nice lady at UHC Nurse-line, to make sure that I was doing the right things. She said that it just sounded like I would lose the nail in 2-3 weeks, but if I experienced trobbing pain and swelling and if my finger was hot, then I needed to go to a doctor. By Wed, I had all of the symptoms, so I went to the "doctor" ie, the internet, and found this

A hole

I now have a hole in my nail. I should become a doctor with my candle, needle, cotton ball and 70% rubbing alcohol. Would you trust me?

Please pardon the emptiness

There will be a lacking of posts for at least the next week due to an injury on one of my right hand digits. When the posts return, it means that I didn't need surgery.

And a note from Clair...

Here's Clair's latest bit of wisdom:

Strangeness

We all have that one person in our lives that will never do what you think he or she should do. In any given situation, you will expect one thing, and then 5 minutes later, you'll be left wondering, "What just happened?" My only hope for you is that when that 5 minutes hits you, you're not stranded in a strange city at 2 am waiting for a cab with people trying to hit on you and take you home. And my advice for all of those seniors out there... find jobs in herds. Be a sheep, move to Indy.

Picking up Girls

I went out with the Boy's coworkers last night. We did a little bar hopping, (and when I say a little, I mean a little... Officially we only hopped once) and the last bar we went to had awesome tater tots. I know Jackie is saying, "What the hell? There's no such thing as even close to good tater tots!" But they were by far the best tater tots that have ever touched my mouth. Hot, fresh, dipped in hot nacho cheese..... Ummm... my mouth is watering just thinking about it. However, I'm not so sure that it was the actual tater tot, or the fact that I had a bit too much to drink. At any rate, one of the guys was distributing these tater tots to hot chicks that were walking by.... my favorite quote from last night... "Yeah, she was really eyeing my tater tots."

RAHR!
