Again

It seems that the last few miutes at work are always stressy....I almost forgot to post. But not today!!!
Ciao.

Food

I am hungry....which is weird because I ate so much for breakfast....somebody brought in some lemon and banana-nut bread. But now I'll have to go find more food. You would think I weight 300 pounds as much as I eat but I guess my metabolism is awesome because everybody think I'm anorexic.

The New York Times > International > Europe > Thomas Klestil, 71, Austrian Who Redeemed the Presidency, Dies

President Thomas Klestil, who brought calm to an office frayed by controversy surrounding his predecessor's past in World War II, died Tuesday. He was 71.

Good Morning

What a beautiful day it is. I hate it when it is fairly nice outside in the morning because it'll be just hot and humid once I get to enjoy the rest of the day outside this afternoon. Oh well, I am rested and ready to go!

Countdown

Almost time to go. I am tired and I want to go home. I hate it when I can't go to sleep on time. Every morning I am soooo tired and then, once I get home I am all awake.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I actually have some energy to write something a little more interesting.
Ciao.

No More Homer

I can't read that. I don't even get the names so I grabbed an older book with several Greek stories in it. I read it in 6th grade or so. It's very easy to read and then at least I am up-to-date with all the gods. Maybe when I have a lot of free time I'll sit down and read it but I am way too tired to even get a paragraph.
I need more books.

First things first

Before I get carried away with work I figured I better post. Yesterday turned somewhat busy but it consisted more of watching the clock to get out of here. Today we'll get our foosball table!!!!!

Homer

I started reading Homer over my vacation. I am still at the inroduction. Oh well. I probably won't be able to finish this one until Christmas....

I'm back!!!

How stupid to start working after a week off.....it seems everybody stayed home....the building I work in was locked...no coffee either. No people on the roads or the train...metro that is since the VRE is not in service today.......I want to go back to bed.....

Almost

I am almost done and then I have a whole week off!!!!!
There is absolutely nothing going on here. The only thing I have left to do is wash my coffee cup....
I'll try and post during the week but I can't promise anything.
Ciao.

.......

I am trying to find something interesting to do this last hour at work, but there is absolutely nothing to do. I am all burned out since I had to finish everything for the month by today so I am done with work.
One hour.........

Lame

Greece just beat France!!!! What's going on? First Germany, then England and now France?
Oh well.
I got a long Friday today so I'll be here for a little longer. Good though, since it's raining like crazy outside and I wouldn't want to leave now anyways.

Happy Friday

Finally the weekend!!!!!
Tomorrow we're off to Savannah!!!! And then I have a whole week off. Oh I am so looking forward to this.

Yet another game

Well in the first match of the quarter finals England is playing Portugal right now. England already scored in the 2nd minute. This time it wasn't Rooney but Owen......finally.

Still Cranky

I'm still cranky today. So my motivation to post anything is very low. Plus what is there to post now? No more interesting soccer and everything else just seems so depressing.
What to do???

God, I sound like a teenager.

Germany Out

And me too. I'm going home and cry...maybe I'll have a drink to ease the pain. Fuck.
Ciao.

Damn

13 minutes to go and Germany is behind the Czechs 2:1. They need to win since the Dutch are winning. Damn it. I wish I could just scream here but I think the people in my office would think I'm nuts.

Getting Ready

Not to go home but for the BIG GAME!!!!
I hope Germany makes it to the next round. If not, they probably deserved it.

Important Day

Today is a very important day. By this afternoon it will be decided if Germany makes it into the next round. They have to play the Czech Republic. They don't have to win if the Netherlands or Latvia doesn't win but if they have a tie, though it'll be better for Germany to win to ensure the advancement.

Ciao

Ouch

About an hour ago or so my back started hurting like hell. No matter how I sit it hurts. Only when I stand it feels somewhat ok, but that is kind of impossible until I get off work. I hate that. Somebody's gotta have to rub my back tonight.......

Another One

Stinkysteven67: I love married with children. Its a great show.
Lucy17: It's ok, One thing that bugs me about that show,
In the pilot series they had Al bundy sounding like he was from Brooklyn
or something when they are supposed to be from Chicago.
Stinkysteven67: Where do you think brooklyn is dork?
Lucky17: Its in new york goofball, chicago is in illinios.
Stinkysteven67: Oh sorry, I've never been good at geometry.
Lucy17: Umm yea..

Those are just too funny.
Can you believe I am still reading them?

HAHAHA

hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I just came accross this site. It is too funny. I have to bookmark it.
Man, look at the time...LUNCH!!!

At least they died happy

A slaughterhouse in China is giving pigs showers, saunas and massages before chopping them up.

I don't see the sense in that at all. I'm sure that wouldn't satisfy PETA either, but if it makes them happy, I guess go ahead.
Funny though, but maybe they taste better because they die a little more relaxed. I don't know. I prefer not to know what the animal I am eating enjoyed or not right before it was electrocuted and chopped up. I just want to eat it.

FlyI

Independence Air started to fly out of DC last week or so and they will start servicing Jacksonville, FL on July 1st. I booked a flight for my oldest stepdaughter who lives in Florida so she can come up July 4th weekend. Just $89 including taxes etc. Cool, huh?
She is also coming up since we'll have her little babygirl the week before and she was kind of scared of having her grandmother, my mother-in-law, drive back with just her and the baby.
This summer is kind of complicated. Or at least the first part of it.
This is the first week of summer break and we sent the lovely stepson to his grandma's. My husband and his mom met half-way between us and her (also Florida) in South Carolina. I had to stay home to record the best race ever. But when we trade off kids and grandkids (his not mine) this weekend I'll go too!!! So, we'll have a mini-vacation hotel-stay-thingie in Savannah, GA on Saturday. We were going to book a hotel room in Hilton Head yesterday but for 200 dollars it wasn't worth it, considering we'll be tired on Saturday from all that driving and have to get up early on Sunday to go back home.
So Savannah will be ok.
Then after all hat summer school starts for my (step)son and the teenager (!!!!) will hang out at our old neighbor's since she'll have somebody to hang out with. She is waiting to start working so that'll hopefully start soon..

Tuesday Morning

It's Tuesday already!!!! Just three more mornings and that's it.
I am kind of tired this morning though. I should try and go to bed earlier tonight.
Nothing really else is going on....I think.
Oh, soccer!
Ok, so Engalnd beat Croatia 4:2 and France beat Switzerland 3:1. So, England and France made it to the next round. England will have to play Portugal on the 24th and France is facing Greece on the 25th.
Todays matches are Italy vs Bulgaria and Denmark vs. Sweden.

Fun Monday

Tonight we are alone. No kids!!!!!
I can't wait.
ciao.

???

What is going on in Portugal.
I missed the first 15 minutes and had to decide which match I want to listen to. So, I picked the Croatia-England game. Croatia already scored!!! Then, at least Zidane put France in the lead against Switzerland but they already scored too. What the hell?
I wish I had a TV and could watch this.

Nice weekend

I had a really nice weekend. It was very relaxing and the weather was just great yesterday. We had a nice Father's Day with the obligatory PS2 game for my husband (He's a child at heart). He was very excited to schedule the delivery of the new pool table. It'll get here next week.
I also realized that I am off next week and we will drive down to Savannah on Saturday to spend the night. I can't wait to just do NOTHING!!!!!

BMW 316i

This is an auction on ebay.de for a very nice BMW.
It may be old but it drives good. The auction ends tomorrow so if you live close to Hamburg, Germany and need a new car....

Good Game

The Italy-Sweden game was really good. It ended in a tie (2:2). I hoped for Sweden to win but this is ok too, since they could still make it to the next round.

I am on my way out the door.
Have a great weekend!!!
Ciao.

Father's Day

Well, people this weekend is Father's Day. A very special day. I know that my beloved husband will spend the afternoon watching a very interesting race, and we had decided to not really give any big gifts.
BUT he is still going to get a really cool gift from me because I can not not give gifts. I have to. So, because we have been looking around for pool tables I figured I can get the one we picked. But I will not have it delivered while he is not there because he wants it at a specific spot that I have no idea about so he can tell the delivery people. But, even though he knew that we would get one it is still kind of a surprise I think.

So, then we only need a bar or at least some tables left for the Rec Room and we're done. My husband already picked out the booze fridge.

Bulgaria Out!

They just got beaten by Denmark 2:0. It sounded like they got pretty upset at the end. A lot of yellow cards.

Weird

Identical twins from Manchester broke their left arm in the same place on the same child's slide on the same day.

I always tought that twins have a special connection. I have friends in Germnay who are twins and it wasn't just their look that was similar but how they reacted to certain things.

Metro People

There are different kinds of people that I see over and over in the metro. One kind is the one that thinks it is completely unnecessary to hold on while riding the metro. They spread their legs to keep balance but usually their expression on their faces just looks painful. I honestly don't get it, but hey if you fall just make sure to not fall on me. Idiot.

Then we have the "I don't care about anybody but me" person.
\For example, yesterday the Metro was packed. No new there. So, everybody, except for the person above, was trying to find a pole or something to hold on to. Well, the dumbass discuss here would be a person that likes to lean on the poles that people use to hold on to. So, when that person leans on it nobody can hold on to it. But that person doesn't care. even if knuckles poke into their backs and their hair gets stuck on other peoples' hands. And to the bitch from yesterday: You might want to cover up your chest a little more until after you shave it again. Yuck.

I know there were other people I wanted to describe but now I can't think of it....

Oh Yeah. The doors on the metro are wide enough to let people through side-by-side. So, mostly after you get off the train people go into the same direction.Left or Right. So, why when you are on my right side and we step out of the train together do you have to turn left right away, cutting me off? Today this lady did it when I was getting on the train. and then she looks at me like I did something when I run into her. What it bitch.

OK, I think that's it now. I feel better now.

The France-Croatia game ended in a 2:2 tie. I expected France to win but Croatia was pretty good. At least this outcome keeps it open as to who will make it to the next round.

I'll leave now. Thunderstorm Warning is in effect!!!!!
Ciao.

Darts

A good friend of ours gave us his dart board. He is getting married, so he didn't really need it anymore. So, we hung it up yesterday and played a little bit. I got a blister on my finger from pulling the darts out of the board and today my arm hurts.
I can't wait to get home a play some more.

Hm....

Have you ever started writing a post and then just deleted it?
I just did that.

Go England

Well, England seems to have recovered from their defeat by France. They beat Switzerland 3:0. Sounded like a very good game. They lost some ambition in the beginning but recovered in the second half. I'd say it was a good game. I would have liked to watch it.
Next: France vs. Croatia.

(Wouldn't I make a good sports commentator?)

Busy, Busy, Busy

The day started very busy for me. But it's a good kind of busy. The kind where you actually get things done and feel good afterwards. Now it's almost lunch time and the first match of the day is about to start!!!! England vs. Switzerland.

Blogeline Out

Ciao.

Russia Out

Well, Russia didn't make it. They lost 2:0. But they still have to play Greece and then they get to go home.

Live BBC Broadcast!!!

Oh, I am the happiest girl in the whole world!!!!!
I just found a link to a BBC radio station the broadcasts ALL of the matches!!!!
This really made my day.

Fact

Russia has not won a European Cup game in 16 years. I would like to know how often they have qualified to even be in one?

UPDATE:
Well, it took Portugal only 5 minutes to score. I believe that this is how the rest of the game will go.

Tied

Well yet another tied game. Next: Russia plays Portugal. I hope this one has a winner (Portugal of course).

Better

I feel a lot better now. I probably just needed to get something in my stomach.
The soccer match is going good. It's tied 1:1 right now. Greece did pretty good in their first match against Portugal. But Spain didn't do too bad against Russia either, but then again Russia is not a real scary soccer team as far as I know.

Shaky

I feel all shaky all of a sudden. Usually I would be hungry by now but I don't think I am but it feels like I need to eat. But I can't even think about food. I hate it when my body is not functioning right.
I so can't wait to get home and relax and lay back. I a just not looking forward to going outside. It is so hot and humid.

Back to Work

Well, here I am again.
Yesterday was horrible. My head hurt like hell and it even still sometimes hurts a little.
Germany tied the Netherlands yesterday, but they played really good. A lot of people said that it was the best game in a long time, so maybe they will actually make it to the next round.
Spain plays Greece at noon EST and then later Russia will play Portugal.
Nothing else is going on here. I feel a little out of it, but as the day progresses I am waking up.

Under the weather

I am not feeling good today at all.
I just got on the computer to check the score. Germany is playing the Netherlands. Right now Germany is leading 1:0.
More tomorrow.
Ciao.

Ooops

Man, look at the time!
I am getting ready. Finally. What a day. It went on forever and all I did was eat and "watch" soccer.
Now it's 4:0 Sweden. About 12 minutes left but I don't think Bulgaria will be able to catch up with that. Oh well, they seemed to fighting really hard.

I am starting to sound like a real lazy person but really I am not. I am just setting my standards too high, so I think I'm lazy.

Ciao.

1:0

Sweden is leading. There are about 10 minutes left in the first half.

UPDATE: Holy Cow! 3:0 Sweden. What did I miss?

0:0

How boring.
In less than a hour it'll be Sweden vs. Bulgaria....who cares about them?

10 Minutes to go

Denmark plays Italy at noon EST.

UPDATE: Well, as far as I can tell it's a pretty boring game. No scores yet. Looks like Denmark, the 1992 European Champion will not repeat that. Less competition for Germany. And they need that.

FYI

For all of you Nascar fans out there. This week is the Unites States Grand Prix, so if you would like to watch some REAL racing why don't you turn into Speed TV on Saturday at 1 PM EST for the Qualifying and on Sunday at 12:30 PM EST for the race?

Missed it

Ok, so I just saw that over the weekend I went over 200 visitors. The I noticed that I am now a Slithering Reptile in the TTLB Ecosystem. So I thought I better check and see when my 500th post is coming up and wouldn't you know that the last one was the 500th. Kind of hard to belive since I had this blog for well over a year now.
Oh well.

What are they thinking?

UPDATE:
Thanks for coming to look at Beckham and Zidane. I think this is a little old of a post so why don't you go to the newer ones, OK???
Thanks.

Source: AP

Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham yesterday.

Oh no!!!!!!

Ferrari winning and displaying perfect reliability was to be expected, but Williams had made some clear progress on qualifying and race pace and were thus stunned when their cars were excluded when their brake ducts failed technical inspection. Toyota suffered a similar fate, while the failure of either Renault to finish was also noteworthy.

Looks like somebody didn't pass inspection....
I feel bad for Ralf though. He did good.

Looks like Heiko had the Breaking News first.

To be expected

About 400 frustrated football fans rampaged in south London, throwing things at police and injuring two officers after England lost to France in their first match at the Euro 2004 championship in Portugal on Sunday.

I "experienced" the first half. I was online using some Live Ticker and I was also talking to my brother on the phone who was watching it. England scored close to the end of the first half and I was pretty confident that they were going to win it by the way France seemed to be playing. But as I went to check the score later online I just knew that there was going to be trouble. Sad too, because I wanted England to win. Germany needs to kick their ass in the Final...just kidding.

Update

Ok, so my mom is doing much better. A little pain when she tries to talk or is eating but that's ok. She'll be home tomorrow!! As soon as the swelling dies down she'll be back under the knife to get them damn tonsils taken out.

FUN!!!!

A food fight that started with fruit cup turned into a mealtime melee, serving up a full plate of arrests and injuries.

They were only having a little fun....

Alright

I am going to get ready. Not much going on here.
Thanks for the comments and links. I really appreciate it. I will post an update on my mom hopefully through the weekend, if not on Monday.
Have a good one.
Ciao.

One hour to go

In about an hour I get to go. Finally. I hardly got anything done today. It'll be the start of the weekend for me since my employer was gracious enough to close our offices tomorrow as well.

MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Peritonsillar abscess

That's what my mom has or had.
Sounds kind of gross.

Just want to go

See, that's when I hate that I live here and my whole family half way across the globe. I am sitting here and I have absolutely no idea of what is going on. Surely nobody is home, but I couldn't call from work anyways, so I am sitting here waiting to go home in a little less than 7 hours. Great. It really doesn't help getting a short phone call saying we'll go to the hospital and that's it.

I know she's going to be ok. She had that before. It's some infection in her throat that swells up so much that she is in danger of not being able to breathe anymore so they have to remove it. When she had it a couple of years back it scared the shit out of everybody because she only went to the doctor because of her sore throat and he told her to go to the hospital right then and there. They warned her that it could happen again and that she needed to watch herself and go to the doctor right away when her throat hurts no matter if she thinks it's just a cold, but of course she doesn't go to the doctor and there you have it.

I wonder how much it would costs to send a text message to my dad's or brother's cell phone?

UPDATE: My dad juts e-mailed me. I guess he went home real quick. She got out of the first surgery and tomorrow she has another one. She has to deciede if she wants them to take her tonsils out, which she should. Then she'll have to stay in the hospital for another two weeks.

Shit

What a way to start the day.
Trying to remember before I go to bed to call my mom and wish her a Happy Birthday and instead getting a phone call before my alarm goes off telling me that she's on her way to the hospital to get emergency surgery. She should have went to the doctor on Monday.

Into the Chaos!

OK, it's almost time to go. We'll see how it'll got, but I don't think too many people are trying to leave DC now. Lots of people left at 2 PM so who knows, maybe it'll be empty!!!! Just kidding.
Ciao.

CNN.com - Blast injures 16 in Cologne - Jun 9, 2004

I just read it on a German news site and didn't expect it to make it that fast to CNN or actually at all.
Right now they don't have any suspects. The area is mostly populated by Turkish immigrants so it might be interesting to see what kind of suspects they come up with.

Bad

I was bad. I went to McDonalds again. Even though I brought a very healthy lunch today I could not resist the offer. Sorry, but I will try harder next time. I'll have my salad with chicken (stuffed with ham) tomorrow.

Yuck

A truck carrying 9,000 gallons of pig's blood was rear-ended and spilled its entire cargo on the German autobahn Wednesday, forcing the highway to close for several hours.

I read about that this morning. That is so disgusting. I wonder who was the lucky one having to clean this up. And, how do you clean this anyways?

It started

Ok, we all knew that today and tomorrow were going to be hell trying to get into the city and around. I personally had no real problems. I noticed that the metro seemed to be a little more crowded but then again sometimes you get one of those. Anyways, I heard from people who live in Maryland and drive to the metro that parking was a huge problem this morning. One is stuck in greenbelt waiting for it to turn 10 AM to use the reserved parking. Another went from one metro station to the other to find a place to park. She lives right outside Andrews AFB. Luckily I do not rely on a car or a bus, which is going to be hell too. I only get to deal with overcrowded trains. We'll see how this afternoon goes tomorrow. Surprisingly I am off on Friday as well.
BTW, I heard that there are people lining up at the Capitol already.

Stupid

Teachers and parents in Cape Elizabeth are warning middle school students about the dangers of deliberately making themselves pass out, a developing trend among youngsters in the community.

I remember when I was about 13, we started doing the same thing. It is really stupid because loss of brain cells isn't really good for you. But of course, when you're that age you don't really give a damn. We eventually stopped because pot gave us a much longer "good feeling" ;P

changing shoes

Well, I have got to put my walking shoes on, because I am ready to go.
Two more days.
Ciao.

Another parental responsibility

Ok, so here is this father that sees how his son is struggling with medication and because he loves his son, he decides to take him off the medication. Now they are investigating him for child abuse?

My step-daughter takes medication and because she is 16 we cannot force here to take it, but yet we are responsible for her taking it. This means my husband has to take her to the doctor (NOT force her or make her) and remind her to take her pill (NOT force her or make her). It is being played both ways and when a child really wants to or an agency really wants to, they can get you in so much trouble because you either don't do enough or too much.
The same goes for doctor visits and test. You have to make sure your child is healthy but can't make them to be tested for STDs or pregnancy or whatever the case may be.
My step-son has a fairly rare birth defect and so doctors (at a University hospital) had to figure out how to treat him, since they had no idea what was wrong with him. Well, whatever he was on was not working. He lost weight and his condition worsened, so my husband took him off the medication. Immediately my stepson started feeling better and ate again. Well, CPS was called on him too because of that.
I just don't get how you can go after a parent who clearly had no ill intentions just because they made a decision about THEIR child without consulting a doctor.

What to eat?

I am starting to get worried, since I still don't know what to have for lunch today.....What to eat? What to eat?
I need help.

Good Medicine

A couple who spent their £40,000 savings after being struck down by killer illnesses have been given the all-clear

What a great way to get healthy again.

Headache

Right when I was getting to work my head staretd hurting. Oh well, I just have to drink enough water and take a happy pill!
We'll see what the rest of the day will bring.

Well, The first day of the work week is done.
Ciao.

Busy Future

We finally have conformation that one of our closest friends are moving back into the area. Sometime around the middle of July we will have three more people living with us, which will be great, and I mean it. Also, our little god-son will be around too!!! So, to make it as comfortable as possible we, or I should say my husband, will finish one of the other rooms in the basement so we can move the office out of our guest room. I can't wait.
Tomorrow is Home Depot day. If anybody has some good advice, it is welcome. But I completely trust my husband in finishing that room. After all, he built a whole addition on his old house.

Bored

Great so now I am home. I am almost done with the beds. I made the shopping list and now I am bored....What to do?????
Oh well, I guess that's what I get for being too happy about starting my weekend early.
Oh look! Law & Order is on.
Later.

Alright kids

Time to get ready. Put your sun block on because we're going home.
Ciao.

Happy

Man I am glad that I am almost done. And I got a lot of other things done and now I am actually ahead of schedule. Cool, huh?
Well, almost the weekend!!!!

Too much pressure

A fainting spell in Washington -- or, more accurately, a fainting speller.
A 13-year-old boy from Colorado appeared to faint, and collapsed on stage Thursday during the final round of the National Spelling Bee.

Poor kid. I wonder if he would have been disqualified if he didn't get up an spell the word correctly....?

Waiting.......

I just don't seem to be able to get things done today. Either the computer program we use is way too slow (nothing new here) or I just get side-tracked. I keep looking at the clock and time just won't pass. This is horrible. All I want is to go home.

Silly

OK, I just figured out yesterday how to access my answering machine at home from any other phone. Let me make clear though that it was not because I am stupid, because I am very smart, but because I was just too lazy to get the manual and read it up. So, I went online and found the manual and figured it out. Now, the silly thing is that about every 30 minutes or so I check my answering machine. Isn't that stupid?
The cool thing is that I ca also use my cell phone. I remember with my old answering machine I couldn't use my cell phone.

Tiananmen

15 years ago, the Chinese government, or then-Premier Li Peng ordered that military force will break up protest by mostly student that only wanted Democracy. To this day the Chinese government says that it only reacted. The exact number of the people that dies is to this day still unknown and attempts to bring up this subject within China have repeatedly been shut down.
The link above is to a search on google's news site.

I have been to Tiananmen square and to imagine this place being full of people protesting and then the military to move in is just breathtaking.

I don't know

what to eat for lunch.
I had Pizza last night, so that's out of the question. I think I would be too lazy to go to McDumb but I don't know. Plus I have to go to the bank and get some $$$ too.
So many questions and no answers.

Summer Plans????

In case some of you have no plans for the summer yet. Why don't you go to Portugal???
I am really excited about this, as every "good German" should be (or not???). Sucks though, because most of the games will be on while I am at work But then again it'll be hard to find a TV station here in the US that shows the games anyways.

Happy Friday!!!

Yupp,it's Friday for me. I am so excited...what a week ;)
But I have a lot of things to do. Yesterady I watered all of the outside plants and so I won't have to do as much today. I am almost done washing all the sheets of all the beds and I watered the indoor plants as well. I emptied the dishwasher, folded towles, and had some wine.
So, the only thing left to do is finish the beds, make a shopping list and that's it! Then I'll go shopping tomorrow and I am done. Life is great.

Time to go

Well, almost, but I'll get ready now....
Hopefully tomorrow will be better, but I would think so since it'll be my last day of the work week!!!!
Ciao.

Countdown

I so cannot wait to go home. Not because I don't want to be here or because I am going to be alone and have the house all to myself. Just because I want to get warm.

(Can there be any more complaing in a day?)

Numb

It is so cold in here my fingers are starting to get numb. How stupid is that?
I just went to run my hands under HOT water. I wish I could take a shower becuase it feels really weird when only your hands are warm and the rest is freezing.

No Energy

I figured I better post something so I though it might be time for a real good bitch-session. Ok, here we go!
I am very cold. Yesterday apparently temperatures were adjusted because others were cold too....it seems even colder now.
I am tired and can't believe that it's only 2 PM. What else?
I am kind of bored. Everything seems slow today so I can't even get things done, which is aggravating.
There's gotta be something else to complain about....
Nope, not really.
That's it for now.

All Alone

My husband left this morning and won't be back until Friday night. What to do? What to do?
I checked the fridge this morning and there is some wine in there. That'll go good with that Pizza.

Gotta Go!

What funny "Monday"....It was actually pretty good. I ended up being busy, but now it's time to go!!!
Just two more days until the weekend!!!
Ciao.

Oh No!!!

Darn it. It just started raining. I wish this pattern would stop, where it is nice during the day and it rains in the afternoon. I hardly get to enjoy being outside. It's not fun watching the sun through your window.
This also means that I actually have to drive tomorrow.

You think???

Study Finds Driver's Commute Can Pack On Pounds

Duh. I always though if I drive reeeaaal fast and far I lose lots of weight....
I don't need Dr.'s to tell me that.
That's why I walk....I haven't driven in over two weeks....now that's pretty cool for getting from Northern Virginia into DC. I admit though that every once in a while I'll ask my husband to pick me up in the afternoon. He's nice like that......

Surprise

I just had a nice surprise. My husband called saying that he was in DC and asked me out to lunch. What a nice way to spend an our during the first day of the week.
It was yummy too. We went to Cosi's, and I hat their Grilled Chicken t.b.m. (tomato, basil, mozzarella). Very good. For vegetarians they have it without the chicken too.

Better Late....

...than never.
After the looooooong weekend I am finally blogging again.
What a great weekend. Got lots of rest and lots of things done.
The best thing is that I am off on Friday too!!!!!

I had another cicada incident over the weekend.
On Saturday my husband asked me if I wanted to go for a walk (see where I'm going?), so I figured why not. It wasn't too hot and actually really nice outside. Well,w e have a trail that goes back behind the houses through some woods and it crosses a creek etc. It's not really finished so you have to watch where you're stepping. As soon as we started down the hill I saw the fuckers everywhere. I don't know why but I just get scared and now it's even worse because they are so huge and disgusting. Everything I see moving scares me. So, after I ruined the walk through the woods we attempt as simpler excursion just using the side walk. Well I guess them bugs just though it'd be fun to attack me because that's what they did. I don't have to tell you that we were home really quick. I admit it got so bad that I started crying...
I think I have some experience that I am trying to suppress deep down inside of me... I need to see a therapist.
