I need Overeater's Anonymous (but only for 1 day)

Wow - did I eat WAY too much at Thanksgiving! I didn't eat all day waiting for dinner, 'cause I knew it was going to be good. Didn't keep in mind that dinner wasn't going to happen until almost 6 p.m., though. Gorged would be a good word to describe what happened. I couldn't go black Friday shopping because I was getting ready to throw up. That never happened, but the hiccups you get right before it does came and that was enough.

Not to mention I had a Dilly of a headache. Got knocked in the eye by a giant gentlemen at work Wednesday night fighting over keys. OK - it wasn't really a fight, but more of me telling him he couldn't have them and him knowing he is big enough to get whatever he wants and taking them, after elbowing me in the right cheek full force. HOLY CRAP did that hurt. It looks like I went Black Friday shopping two days early and went to the mats over a Barbie doll. My cheek is all swollen, my eye is at half mast and I have 1/2 a black eye - thank god the eyelid didn't suffer is all I am sayin'. Thinking I should go for an X-ray because it's way swollen and it WAY hurts, but the last time I broke my cheek and forehead there was nothing they could do about it but ask for my co-pay.

I am on call this weekend - anyone reading this must think very good thoughts for me. I have all my rituals in place and am hoping for the best. Hopefully no hangings, no deaths and no brew-ha's.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and is enjoying getting ready for the holiday season!

Gas is $1.61 in Ohio:-)

I'M BAAAAAACCCCKKKK

OK - I went to Sandusky, OH and Uniontown, PA. It was fun as always - Morgantown, WV is next month, hopefully. Lots of snow down in that area - we have none up here, so I was surprised. You could tell that by the way I packed. I took a pair of Crocs and a pair of girl boots and summer socks. I don't recall what I was thinking when I packed except minimize. I did a great job fitting everything into a small bag - I am practicing rolling, cramming and maximizing space when I travel. My friend that I travel with thinks I should put myself together enough to start hosting(?) a few of the shows I go to with her. Apparently all I would have to do is get up on stage, hold a microphone and introduce people and maybe throw out an entertaining line or two. I think I may give it a try at some point - The worst that could happen is the first time sucks well water and I never do it again. How hard is that. Another thing to cross off my list of things accomplished in life.

Just a little plug if anyone that I am not related to or haven't known since childhood is reading this...If you are ever in an area that Carole Deyoe or Carol Pennington is performing, you should definitely check them out. FUNNY and good comedy. You will definitely enjoy their shows.

HOLY J-E-T-S!!!!! Thank goodness we got to hear it on the radio - I would have loved to see it as it sounded like the D was AWESOME and the O was INCREDIBLE!!! Just so everyone knows, I am a bit offended when they are referred to as the NY Bretts although it is an ingenious play on words:-( The Giants looked great as well - Chris C. went so far as to call the two NY teams the two best in the league. Regis predicted a JETS/Giants Superbowl this year and how incredible would that be???

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Happy Birthday to my younger sister Sarah who turned 38 yesterday!!!

road trip

I am off for the weekend - don't know where I am going and probably should have asked for clarification, but really - does it matter? I am going to Pennsylvania or West Virginia or Ohio with a friend of mine who does stand up comedy. I am her travel buddy and when she calls I just ask the dates and make sure I take the days off. I will be home Sunday afternoon, unfortunately too late to see the JETS game, so everyone keep your fingers crossed that we kick some Tennessee ass!!!!! 10-1:-)

Have a great weekend!!!!!

$21,000.00???

So it has been said that the economy is in a state of HOLY CRAP. According to the Governor of New York, we have to tighten our belts all the way back to a Victorian corseted 19" - the sky is falling, we are going belly up - if we don't fix this now we are all doomed...

Why is David Patterson ordering a $21,000.00 hand-made Turkish rug for his executive residence? Perhaps expenditures such as this one in July are what put us in the position we are in today? While I realize it is very difficult for either him or his wife to get to Huck Finn's or Mooradian's, I am sure they had something of a suitable selection for him to chose from in the $200-$500 range that would have done very nicely.

Perhaps now that the cat is out of the bag, he will rethink his purchase and have his tailor make the rug into a few colorful coats for the homeless people sleeping in the park across the street.

Or perhaps he could donate it to the local food pantry so all the hungry people stopping by for a can of soup could wipe their tattered shoes on it before stepping inside.

Maybe, since it's Turkish, he could make a gift of it to the brilliant techies at RPI so they can study the dynamics and mechanics of a flying carpet that seats 10.

Since he is take, take, taking away from healthcare it could be used for a warming blanket in the surgical recovery ward.

Or cut up for bandages - since it contains color and sterilizing it would fade them, it would only be used for non-life threatening cuts to prevent infection.

Me no understand.

No, I am fine, THANK YOU!

Ok, so I will preface this one with...I am a bit intoxicated when this small disturbance occurs. Went to my in-laws tonight to go through my mother in laws clothes - Unfortunately she passed extremely unexpectedly a few weeks ago. While going through her personal possessions, I had a few. There, I said it. For those of you who don't know me, I don't drink often...I smoke as well...SHUT UP! Don decided he should drive home, which was OK with me. However, when I rolled down the window to flick my cigarette out, it went down the sleeve of my exceptionally cheap, foreign made fleece of extremely flammable material, from WalMart. If your wife is sitting next to you in 19' weather, pretending she is fine, while the air from her open window is fanning the very noticeable flames coming out of the cuff of her protective outwear, perchance next time, instead of asking "You OK, honey?", Pull the fuck over and see that she indeed stops, drops and rolls. "Yeah, I am fine, fuck nuts" - Thought it was the comfort of my heated seat and forgot my wrist was searing until I noticed that my fucking crotch was on fire as well. They ain't a kiddin' when they say if there's smoke, there's fire!!!!! Disaster avoided, first degree burns don't usually leave scars and it's all over but the crying for now. Have a great night!

Fuck you and your bonus

I am furious that to get a bailout it had to be SUGGESTED to the bigwigs of the three major auto dealers in the United States that perhaps, maybe a good idea, why don't you just for this year, GIVE UP YOUR MILLION DOLLAR BONUSES?????? Fuck them - let them bail themselves out, and AIG and all the banks. I drove foreign cars in the past and quite frankly think they perform at much higher standards than the domestic one I drive now. I have a mattress - I don't need a checking account. It seems that everybody is now thinking that a handout is for them and they shouldn't have to make a single sacrifice. I understand we have to protect the jobs and the economy of our country, but come on now...The rich really have been getting richer for a long time now and the middle class has been bending over each and every time and taking one for the team. Enough is enough. According to many, Social Security is all but going to be extinct when I get to retirement age, so why should I have to contribute anymore - any family member I have that is old enough to collect is dead - my work is done. Isn't there a way to declare yourself an emancipated citizen and not pay taxes anymore. I understand that I wouldn't be able to collect unemployment, social security, etc...but it's not like I use it anyway. I believe you have to give up your Social Security number, but so what - I don't need another credit card - I will rip open my mattress the next time I need a new foreign car and pay cash.

The agency I work for announced we wouldn't be getting a Christmas bonus this year because, while we are in the black, we can't count on making up the bonus in next years' revenue. That's a lesson all these other companies should pay attention to. My bonus would have been a percent of a percent of what theirs would have been.

Have a great day - I am now going to work, like I have every other day for the past 23 years so that I can make enough money to pay my taxes to bail everyone and their brother out.

Did Al Franken win?

LOVE MY HONEY

I love my husband. Woke up this morning and like every other morning, my coffee pot was set up and ready to go. He doesn't drink coffee. He was successful yesterday and took a buck - goofy mother fucker (the buck, not Don) -Half his rack points out of his forehead - If I can figure out how to down load from his phone I will post a picture. He was happy and that's all that matters. He's quiet and sometimes people think he's anti-social, but if he doesn't want to speak to you he isn't going to - that's that. I can't imagine any other wife in the world gets treated as well as I do - If they do, they are lucky:-) Have a great day!

OH YEAH!

How bout those JETS?? Great game last night - very happy with the results:-) Took today off because I knew I would be up late and I would be needing to recover. Pissed because I can't sleep past 6:30 a.m. Guess that's what naps are for. Have a great day!

OH NO YOU DITNT!!!!

While waiting in line at Dunkin' Donuts this morning for my daily dose of x-large carmel coffee light with 4 Splenda, I noticed that they have now begun asking customers not to use their cell phones in line and to have their payments ready when they get to the window. Who do they think they are? If I hadn't been so decaffeinated at that point, I would have told them to shove their coffee up their ass. The second part is a no-brainer, except I had to point out to the hooker taking my order that if she would tell me what it came to instead of just saying drive through, we could get that hold-up out of the way. Did this all while talking on my cell phone - didn't have anything of any value to say to my husband on the other line, but I knew he would answer the phone and talk to me so I could deliberately defy the fuck nut that put the sign up. Made the bitch hold my coffee out the window for an extra second or too while I SLOWLY switched my cell phone to the other ear so I could take the coffee of her hands. How passive aggressive can I be?? Have a great weekend!!!!

O-B-A-M-A

THANK GOD! Last night at 11 p.m. I felt the change in my 401k - I felt my optimism returning and I know this country is going to move in a better direction. I was impressed with McCain's concession speech but could have done without the cameras focusing on Oprah's mascara running during Obama's moment. I fell in love with Joe Biden at the time of the Iran Contra hearings and am so glad he's been chosen by what I believe will come to be the country's greatest president to step up and help us out.
HALLELUJAH!!

VOTE OR SHUT THE F%*K UP

So I work with a lot of immature people as do half the Americans out there. One of the idiots said yesterday that she thought it would be cool if they elected John McCain today, but chose Obama to be his vice president if he was runner up with the number of votes. WHAT??? First, I don't think that quite approaches what a sentence should be. More importantly if she had put the crack pipe down in school and removed her head from her ASS to listen it would have been an improvement. WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE - this is what we are letting out of schools with diplomas these days. How sad.
Vote early - And remember you can only do it once.
Pittsburgh won last night so it looks like a Democratic nation:-) Have a great Election Day!

J - E - T - S

Would you looky there - great day of football Sunday, huh? The NYJ started off shaky yesterday, but got over it at the end of the first quarter. Looks like we may have a respectable record this year:-)

I can't help but be excited - Halloween is over, the slasher films are put away for the year and now it's time to deck the halls. I LOVE CHRISTMAS! More the decorating and good cheer that it brings than the presents, but of course I accept all with a smile:-) Looking forward to some awesome sales soon due to the flailing economy. I didn't even pay attention last week so I don't know where it stands, but it can't get any worse so I am assuming we are back in the 9000's at least.

Have a great day!
