Whew.. I'm home from work. I'm tired now. I count work as my work out since I walk around the whole time pushing a cart - 5 hours of walking. Anyway.. I almost always don't want to go into work... well just my busy hospital that is, but I always enjoy my work and come home with a happy feeling. There is always one person who has really makes the day worth going in. Today it was a delightful woman who had just given birth to her 7th child - yes 7! He was a lovely baby. At first he was very fussy but I just hung out and he finally calmed down and opened his eyes for absolutly perfect pictures.
So tonight we are going to make fried chicken. We didn't have an Elvis Tribute dinner last night in honor of the 25th anniversary of his so called death... ;o) so we must have fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn and biscuts. Nummy.
Must go, need nap... YAWN! Oh! I was getting ready for work this morning and one of our friends called at 7AM! He wanted to tell us that he was at Galveston, his boss had paid for him and his wife to spend the weekend there and he was calling to tell me about it. Bastard. Off to nap land now, I stayed up to late watching Lord of The Rings (yeah I ended up getting into it).. and didn't even finish watching it... *sigh*

The enchaladas were delightful... Dh bought enough to make two pans of enchaladas... I messed up the second pan when I put the first one in... the tortilla unfolded and everything spilled out, so lazy me just turned it into enchalada casserole. He is funny, he got all the stuff... more than enough... and chips, and queso dip, and refried beans, and spanish rice and ice cream HAHAHAHAHAHA! If I didn't know better I'd say he was pregnant having cravings! *snort*
So we watched Royal Tanenbaums - I liked it. It was odd... very odd but good. Right now he's watching Lord Of The Rings... I have no interest. I was very interested in seeing it when it was in the theaters, but now that I'm in my own living room, I don't give a crap. Oh well. Anyway, before the other movie, they had these previews for movies coming out and bad ones that didn't do so well in the theater and were now trying to make some kind of stand in the video stores. And that reminded me of something I saw the other night when we were watching Star Wars. We have that special one with the little interview with George Lucas. In that he talks about how Star Wars cost like $10 million dollars and that it was not really all that much in terms of making a movie, yadda, yadda, yadda.... So that made me think while watching the previews for the bad movies... who is paying for these movies to be made. If a move cost $10 million to make and it goes to the theater and only makes $5 million ... maybe even less... then who is paying the bills on this? Who takes the loss? And why the hell are there so damn many suck-ass movies being made? Maybe this is why the stock market is taking such a beating, to damn many idiots investing in suck-ass movies! Damn, don't these people read these scripts? Do they not think about the plot or is it "Well let's see, if we get Adam Sandler in this movie, it doesn't matter what the plot is, people will pay to see him acting like a fool." I got to wonder. It's not like I'm really the person to ask or even to question all this. I see about one movie a year in the theater.. I just don't really get into seeing movies. And normally we rent about 6 movies in a years time. We are down 4 so far... My Blockbuster card has been used more often for scraping ice off my windshield than for renting movies... and that says a lot since we get ice here maybe once a year. OK... well that's all I wanted to bitch about.. sucky movies being made.... someone should be held responsible for that...

So I was just sitting here reading blogs and it occured to me that I had planned to work out today... I've been meaning to start doing that again... but that I hadn't done it today. So I hopped up and stuck a tape in the VCR. Now I'm done. I should have done that this morning, first thing.. I think would have felt a lot less unmotivated than I have most of this day. I'm going to work out tomorrow before I go to work. In fact I'm going to write about it every day whether I've worked out or not. If I don't, I want one of you (4) loyal readers to ask me if I got off my ass and worked out. If nothing else I should be able to drag myself out to the lake and take a walk around it. And it's more than just wanting to get into a smaller size (which I do want to do), I need to work out because my back bothers me if I don't. When my car got rear-ended 3 years ago, my lower back got messed up. It makes it hard be on my feet for a long time... actually just standing in one place, having to walk is not a big deal, just standing in the same place is hard on my back... and sitting in soft chairs or on the sofa. But anyway.. I know that if I work out that it will strengthen my back muscles and that will aleviate some of the problems. I worry about back problems though, my dad has a very bad back, has had it most of my life. I remember him with a bad back injury when I was really little. Anyway his back is really bad, he's in almost constant pain. He's only in his 50's so he's not really old. I have this fear of being like him when I'm his age... not a happy thought... BUT... I did work out today! YAY! Good Judy! Working my way to a smaller butt one day at a time. hehehe...
Gosh L - that shark education page was killing me. hehehehe.. Did you know that a shark can turn it's stomach inside out? So in a particularly interesting feeding frenzy, it get's totally full but wants to continue to enjoy it's self in the eating orgy it can turn it's stomach inside out and then continue eating. Not just vomit, but turn one's somach out of it's body and empty it... that's taking bulimia to extremes though.... I wonder if super models can do that.
So I waxed last night. Not poetic or anything like that... I waxed my unwanted, unnecessairy and vile hair that grows in places it shouldn't. My oldest is very funny when I do this. One time I was ripping one of the strips off my body and she said "Does it hurt?" I think she asked because the face I was making as I got ready to pull the strip. Not wanting to lie, I said "A little bit." (Ok so I did lie some, I didn't want to say, 'Yes honey, it hurts like hell, but it stays smooth for about a month and mommy looks bad with stubble') as I prepared to rip the other strip from my body, she said "Say 'Oww!'" and made a motion like she was ripping the strip off. I nearly fell on the floor laughing. Ahhh... I just pray that my genetic contribution to her make up does not include my 'hairyness' gene. This was one of the BIG reasons I prayed for a boy for both of my pregnancies. I didn't want to be blamed for this when my daughters hit adolesence (it's bad enough I'll have to take the blame for big thighs and celulite since science has determined that that is largely determined by genetics). I guess I'll just have to prepare myself for that little talk about the facts of life. I'll go buy her a waxing kit of her own, a pair of good tweezers and a hand mirror. Then I'll explain that it's time to start waxing, she'll thank me later for this, as a career in a side show as the bearded lady is nothing to shoot for, and men generally don't like women to have more chest hair than they have. I'll appologize for the DNA that I passed to her then promise that I'll make it up to her with a trip to the mall when the redness fades.
Ahhhh tonight is enchaladas and Blockbuster movies. Nothing scary this week. I had a nightmare after watching The Others last week. Eeep! That one stayed in my subconcious for a while! After the movie we talked about ghosts and stuff. I talked to him about how my dearly departed cat Sinnamon didn't visit me anymore since we moved here, and he gave me an answer that seemed logical and made me feel better. He was probably just blowing smoke up my ass to make me feel better about it since I was bothered that Sinnamon was gone. But hey, he made me feel better right then. What a guy ;o)

Good Lord of the dance, there is some deranged blind man in my neighborhood. I was walking to my mail box to get my mail and some guy whistled at me. I stopped and looked around, there was no one else out except me. This is what I look like today. I have infact showered but did not dry my hair, so it's just in a hair band and the curls are kind of messy looking, I have no make up on and I'm wearing my favorite comfee white dress - white linnen, silver snaps up the front, pockets on the front with silver rivits on them, oh yeah.. the dress is 2 sizes to large also - knee length... so I'm not exactly the picture of hotness today.. well I was wearing my favorite black sandals... they are very pretty... maybe that's it.. hehehe... Anyway, I'm saying a little prayer of thanks for the deranged blind man who likes the chubby suburban housewife look. ;o)
Better go now, need to get the china out... gourmet meal tonight... hamburger helper. Yum yum!

Hehehehe.... L - that image of the singles bar reminds me of my old days of going to the clubs. Now I'm thinking back and imagining them as sharks LOL - man thoes were some dangerous waters HAHAHAHA!
OK, that was funny to me... maybe I've had to many chocolate chip cookies... I'm cookie drunk. Is that possible? I think so...
Damn.. I had something funny to talk about.. but I just found out a friend's mother passed yesterday so Im not in the 'HA HA' mood anymore.
*sigh*...

Whew... finally... peace... Cookies in the oven.. Chocolate chip... Dh made them.
I know I promised pithy and witty, but I'm not sure I have any 'pithy or witty' thoughts right now. But hmm.. I'm sure I can muster something to talk about.. I do like to talk. Ya know one time I was talking to DH and we were talking and talking, and it was getting late, and I think I was starting to irritate him (can you belive it?!?!) and he just got up and walked away, I said "where are you going?" he said "To bed." and he did. We weren't argueing, he was just tired of listening to me. *snort* I was pissed about it the next day but now it's pretty damn funny.
Anyway... today I saw this woman walking into the building, she was headed for work. I've seen her several times before. She never smiles. Well almost never smiles. Sometimes when she is talking to someone she will have a little smile on her face, but that is not often at all. And today, she was perfectly dressed, looks like a size 5 or so, average looking.. but she does not smile.. and that makes her a very unattractive person. She actually looks angry most of the time I've seen her. Kind of sad to see her. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I didn't. A smile can make the plainest or even ugliest person look radiant. Beauty tip for the day - SMILE!
Ok... I didn't manage witty or pithy but there you go, that must have taken up a couple minutes of your time. ;o)

L - I to am sorry you had not taken off unexpectedly to Hawaii.... well not entirely.. I'd be extremly jealous you didn't tell me so I could pack my little bag and join you (at least in the fantasy world... ). I almost peed myself when you described that shark show! Well I have seen similar displays of wild life here.. Mind you it has been years, but the last time I went to a singles bar, I saw a lot of shark displays. ;o) But alas I don't swim thoes waters anymore... ok, maybe that's not such a bad thing.. I really didn't like thoes waters.
A - I hope your little man feels better. I know when I was a small child, the opportunity to spew rainbow colored vomit at an in opportune moment always left me feeling better. Although I never had the multicolored sugar coated cereals to add excitement to my life.
Today is my busy busy day, so I don't have much time to write... I always have much to do on this day. Anyway.. I will atempt to add something pithy and witty tonight after things settle down... I hope I have something to say HAHAHAHAHA! I was going to add something last night before bed, but we settled down to watch Star Wars and I had forgotten how very long that movie is... and how very handsome Harrison Ford was ... still is for that matter. Must dash!

Well J, I went and checked my site meter again and saw that rasserver.net had visited my blog several times today, and has refering pages or exit pages of other people's blogs... This is very confusing. I really don't think I'm all that interesting that someone would want to read my ramblings that much, and I really don't think anyone listed above has that interesting of a life either - no offense ladies, but it's not like any of us are leading a movie star life (Im interested in your lives because I know you all!). And quite frankly I quite doubt that anything I have to say is all that entertaining or enlightening to anyone who doesn't know me on a personal level. I find this perplexing and bordering on obsessive stalking... I think doing a trace on this IP is in order.
Must run, much to do.
Must run, much to do.
Hmmm.... A... maybe all this talk about someone dieing so young - she was just a couple of years older than us - has made you think of your own mortality. Heck no maybe to it, I know it has. Your just like that. ;o) I've been doing that also. Since last week when the 3 babies in NICU died.. I have been wondering about life in general, and if I'm doing enough... I don't mean physically as in whether I'm doing my fair share or keeping my house clean, but I mean enough in a bigger sense. Am I doing enough in life to make this existance worthwhile? Am I doing anything to help make someone's life just a little bit better? Am I just doing enough? I think about this.. I don't have any answers... And for me, not being able to answer YES right away means NO I'm not. But then... what do I do? Spiritual studies? Comunity services? Ecological work? I don't know... funny thing, when I was 20 or so I could have answered that question with out a thought, but now.. I have no idea.
Think, think, think... I think I need a smackrel of honey...

J,
I saw that domain name rasserver.net on my blog also, I thought it was a friend accessing from home, but now I have my doubts since they searched you using your kids names. I've notice a few new domain names on my site meter also, I know who one is, but the others.. I don't... and like you, this makes me very uneasy.

hmmm.. go figure... I once again messed up my template when I changed it (fat kitties - that's the name I think). *sigh* oh well. Not like there's pulitizer prize winning material here anyway... But I do appologize to my vast audience... all 4 of you! (no really, there are only 4 of you!)
Anyway.. Let's see... Yesterday was the big birthday. I'm finally 31! Woohoo! 30 is over. We didn't really do anything, took a walk and got frozen treats from DQ - a small chocolate malt for me personally - fun was had for all. *snicker*
I read Lisa's blog... Lisa Marie Presley married Nicholas Cage? Hmmm.. how odd.. well I knew she was all ripe with child... his child I believe.. although that was a bit ago I saw that in some tabloid thing... she well may have birthed that little one by now. I don't know what I think about that... oh wait.. yes I do... I don't think about that at all.. HAHAHAHAHAHA! I think she's the incredibly beautiful product of two extremely attractive people, but a bit of a freak... freakiness seems to be her only claim to fame currently. And him.. well he's been a bit of freak also... and his appeal has waxed and wanned over the years... in some times he's been very appealing, quite sexy even.. other times he's had an incredible creepy, slimy quality... But for the most part I've liked all the movies I've seen that he happened to be in. I've never gone out of my way to see a movie because he was in it. I'm curious about what a child by the two of them would look like. Mr. Cage is really not all that attractive in the face... So I'd like to see if this child would have Lisa Marie's delicate face with Cage's sharp features or worse, his nose! HAHAHAHAHA!
But yes, L.. I am ready for that Hawaiian vacation... I've had this horrible headache most of the day.
I made some bread. I love fresh baked bread. I forgot to oil my bread cock so the bottom stuck in the pan and I had to wrestle it out with a spatula, so the bottom is kind of mangled. hehehe... Oh and the container of yeast that I have is pretty much dead. I tested it before I added everything. It didn't bubble. Luckily I had a couple of packets in the fridge. so this loaf rose quite nicely.. just mangled on the bottom. Still not sure what to make for dinner.. I suppose when my dh gets home we'll think of something... that involves bread. :o)
