4!!!! 4 comes after 3!!!!
Why is it when parents bring their children to a restaurant they spend more time yelling at them than eating? Kids are kids - they are going to make noise. Do the parents realize most of they time they are the ones that are being obnoxiously loud, telling their children to sit down, shut up, behave. Don and I went out to dinner and the only thing I heard was some bitch counting to 3 loudly time and again. Just made the kids cry and get louder. What school did she go to that she couldn't get past that? 4...4 comes after 3!!!!!!
Furthermore - it's not the first time those kids have gone somewhere and acted like monkeys, parents. You knew what you were in for when you decided you didn't want to cook. You knew your children can't behave at home - why would you think it would be any different where they have a new audience?
I am not talking about babies who can't help but cry when they find themselves in a new place that might be potentially scary or weird smelling to them - I cry too when that happens.
If people don't like children in restaurants they should leave and find somewhere else to eat. We weren't at the Four Seasons for God's sake. It was the Chinese Buffet - hell, I like to run down the aisles there too. I am far too loud most of the time as well - Don doesn't sit there and sshhh me - sometimes, anyway.
I think I am the most boring person I know...

AH-HAH
OMG I finally had my Oprah "AH-HAH Moment"! Tucker Max has a lisp - that's why he's mean to people...he picks first so he won't get picked on. I am sure he would disagree and call me a fat whore, but I know the truth. Now, I can get on with my day.

294 Channels to watch and ...NOTHING!
With 294 Channels to watch (and scores to just listen to) I could find nothing of interest last night to watch. I finally settled on the cheesy Jewel Spectacular on some no name Shopping Network and was intrigued to see that you could "allegedly" buy a 2.7 carat diamond of quality for the low-low price of $595.00, Princess cut and ready to be mounted. That's a bargain, people. I am going to watch tonight and see what they have. If they have an "automobile of quality that simple assembly with an allen wrench" for under $2000.00 I AM GOING FOR IT!
Incidentally - I slathered my feet with Vick's for the second night and NOTHING! I figured if I had the Vick's out, I would cake my ears with it too since that's what hurt the most - Worked like a charm - my sinus congestion is GONE and I am blowin' green snot like it's goin' out of style.
Have a great Memorial Day!!

Dating sucks dude!
Went on a date with Don tonight - didn't go so hot. I think we both might need to see other people if we want to continue dating:-) He doesn't like my driving - apparently I don't watch the road enough. He also thinks my constant comments and chatter are irritating at times. Whatever ~ We are going to settle for being the couple who thinks it's cool to NOT keep things fresh. We did agree on the Chinese Buffet though and tied our feed bags on. Isn't there a law that crab rangoons are supposed to be made in wantons? The ones they had were freaky and not so good. Anyhoo - I am going to go to bed and hope to wake up NOT sick tomorrow.

One more thing...
Still haven't been on teh treadmill, but I make myself do 25 squats before I sit in the computer chair! That's a good step, or so I figure.
I had a dream a while back that I can't get out of my head, just because it was so obscure...
I was hired to be Obama's nanny - they still had Malia, but they had a son instead of another daughter. What I was basically hired to do was teach them how to do laundry, which neither of them were particularly interested in. Malia ran away and being a great nanny I let her go and didn't really look for her or pursue any further laundry training. The son did soso to my knowledge, but apparently I did a good enough job to be promoted to...(keep in mind this is a dream and I can make up names for anything in them) "The Democratic Chairman of the Investigation into why Paperclips rust". My committee partner was Bob Dole and we spent a lot of time in the pasture at my mother's house floating paperclips in puddles. I would use a stick to float them around and poke at them and he would use his pen. I, being exceptionally brilliant and the Chairman, came up with the solution and exclaimed to the world..."If a paperclip doesn't get wet, it won't rust. They are rusting because they are getting wet. WE NEED TO KEEP THE PAPERCLIPS DRY!!!" Accolades from countries across the world came flying in and then I woke up and went to work:-)

My New Hobby
It has been suggested that blogging would be a great hobby for me since I am not smoking anymore (I got the hint, B.). Perfect! It also might be good since I tend to say things out loud that maybe I shouldn't sometimes.
Why shouldn't fillies run against colts? There is no real difference except their gender. I say that's like suggesting that Fords shouldn't race with Dodges in NASCAR - That women shouldn't be allowed into high stakes poker games with men. It's a ridiculous notion in my opinion.
In stadium jumping mares, stallions and geldings all compete on the same course.
Rachel Alexandra is an insane example of a racehorse male or female and some of the trainers were scared that she was going to beat them - and they were right. Don't use the excuse that she could break down. She is a TANK. I think it's a shame she didn't run in the derby because we really could have seen a Triple Crown winner this year if she had.
I wish I had seen the race...Stupid dumb DishTV - as they went to the post the channel went and when they were posting the payouts the channel came back! DOH!!!!
What else is new, you ask? Still not smoking (as a rule). I went to a wedding last weekend and it was all over after the 4th glass of wine:-) I only had 5 cigarettes the entire evening, but I count that as falling off the wagon for the 1st real time since I QUIT. I was quite entertaining if only to myself. After switching to beer, doing a shot of Jack (which doesn't agree with me) and then going back to wine I was done.
Poor Don. If he went to the wedding with me, he wouldn't have been made to pick my drunk ass up, take me to Stewart's and buy me a pack of cigarettes and a six pack and then put up with me in the car. When I arrived home I decided that I didn't need a cigarette or a beer and perhaps it was just fine if I went to bed instead. Don drank the beer and his friend smoked my cigarettes. I am back on the wagon and doing fine - picking up my 3rd refill of Chantix today as a matter of fact.
Still having the wacky dreams and loving them - they are FUNNY! I wake up every night around 11:30 and can't get back to sleep until 2:30'ish, but Will & Grace reruns are abundant at that time of the night and there are a BUNCH I haven't seen. I don't want to take Lunesta because I am afraid I won't remember my dreams:-)
I am going to attempt to be more diligent and definitely more interesting about blogging - have a great day!

Leave Miss California alone
I was watching the Today show yesterday and realized a myriad of things, two of the most important are that 1.) Matt Lauer is just all that and 2.) Miss California has a right to express her opinion wherever and whenever she wants and everyone should just shut the hell up about it. Do I agree with her...NO, but she has a right to her opinion and the right to express it. I feel rather bad for her, but after watching her yesterday she's absolutely correct.
Why is everyone vilifying her for EXPRESSING her opinion. She herself agrees that people have differing views, but that doesn't seem to be the point. And, the judge (who should be ashamed of himself for portraying homosexuals in such a stereo-typical manner both on his web cam site and on the pageant) should shut the hell up. The Miss USA contest is a pageant scholarship and while we can all snicker at that, she is pursuing higher education so how can he classify her as a "stupid bitch"? There is also ridicule that she is leaving her platform of Special Olympics support and now jumping on the no same-sex marriage band wagon, but she is only getting this attention for the question the judge posed to her and that's where the attention is going - had he asked about mentally retarded people, I am sure the focus would be there.
P.S. I have been smoke free for 33 days:-) And, seriously...i dusted off the treadmill so it's ready to get back in action on Monday:-)

Kids, don't try this at home...
Anyone ever have their eyes dilated? I did Wednesday and I don't recommend it, and especially don't recommend going back to work, driving or doing anything but breathing for 3 hours thereafter.
Arrived at the appointment at 2 like I was supposed to and they took me right in and immediately tipped my head back and squirted yellow liquid into my eyes that burned like a mother - that was to see if I had cataracts, a question I would have been very comfortable answering. Wacky shit though - yellow and blue really do make green - Kelly green to be exact. I tipped my head way back in the chair and when the yellow settled in the middle I had bright green eyes. FREAKY!!! Sit upright and yellow gook started running down my face in rivets - very attractive. Then, back goes the head and plunk, plunk - "go read a magazine for about 15 minutes while this starts to work and then we will call you back in". The girl must have been new and untrained - didn't take 15 minutes and I had heels on...Literally bumped into 2 walls, a wheelchair and sat on the arm of a chair because of the double vision. Picked up a magazine and realized that I have never had quadruple vision before and I don't care to again - I tried to read just for kicks - put one hand over one eye - squinted, pulled both eyes wide open, held the magazine 10 feet away - nothing would help me focus. Doctor came out and said I was ready and then apparently could tell by the look on my face "You've never had this done before, have you?" I am noticeably looking at an empty space next to him and waving my arm in front of me saying "Nope, sure haven't". Stumbled after him holding onto his coat tail, literally (he was a nice man) until we got to the exam room where, bless his soul, he realized I was going to need some help sitting without falling. No cataracts, No diabetes in my eyes, no vision problems...I am good.
Put my sunglasses on - glared at the 4 receptionists in front of me, all dressed the same, telling me "be careful driving" and headed for the stairs - BIG MISTAKE!!!! Only took me 20 minutes to get down two flights - scooched against the wall, in tears and feeling with toes for every stair.
Finally found my car in the parking lot - it's amazing how many people drive small red cars - and was on my way.
Ladies and Gentlemen...DO NOT DRIVE AFTER YOUR EYES HAVE BEEN DILATED!! Could have sworn Amish people were everywhere - tried following the yellow line, but when there's more than one it gets confusing - same with the white line on the other side of the lane. Without a word of lie...20 miles an hour all the way back to work with horns blaring from irate drivers behind and beside me. I would have flipped them off, but I was too busy gripping the wheel with both hands, face pressed up against the windshield, looking as if I may have just ingested 5 Long Island Iced Teas.
Why I went back to work I will never know - tried to check my email and that was just purely painful, couldn't write anything legibly and had to wear my sunglasses inside so I could see without the pain...oh the pain - took my sunglasses off when I finally got home and although I had a feeling I should have waited to get inside, I didn't. Your pupils do have a purpose after all.
They invited me back to do it all over again next year, but I am thinking stabbing myself in the eyes with toothpicks might be a more comfortable option. I'll let you know.

Gorillas??
I am beginning to see a pattern of sorts in my dreams...not sure what it is, but last night I dreamed I owned a giant gorilla. He was well behaved in the house, but he couldn't go outside by himself or he would wreak havoc on the neighbors, taunting, hitting, yelling, etc...Huh.

1 Week
Week 1 down - a lifetime to go...Not bad at all. I highly recommend quitting smoking to everyone. I saved $56.00 this week by not smoking and another $15.00 by not drinking. I am not drinking alcohol because that makes me want to smoke - two people at work are also quitting tomorrow - one is going cold turkey and another is going to use the patches. Good luck to them. It has just become too expensive to do. My cigarettes went up to $7.96 a pack! Ridiculous!!! But, it's not healthy and if they are using the tax money to fund Children's health insurance as they announced, then I suppose it is for a good cause.
The dreams aren't as vivid now, but anyone worried about Chantix because of nightmares...that wasn't my experience, knock on wood. I can breathe better and I don't have a stuffy nose anymore. No bad side effects whatsoever...Of course one of the side effects is psychosis, so watch out!!! I am hiding that one.
Have a great weekend!

Delicious!
It's nice to know I can shop, get berated by a Brit and still cook a three course meal without crying, all in three hours! I made an amazing pulled pork sandwich, grilled up some lamb with a delightful sauce and made a baked apple dessert with grill marks - WHO KNEW!
The Chantix continues to work wonders - tired as hell in the morning when I wake up, but you would be too if you were pushing a cart mock ten around Price Chopper with only ten minutes to make a list and get supplies.
Haven't smoked in 4 days and have no desire to.
Have a great day!

chantix dreams...
So - I have been on Chantix for a few days and one of the side effects, apparently, is vivid and unusual dreams. I have always had weird dreams, but I can see where Pfizer is coming from. Last night I was Sonny Carinthos' (General Hospital, the BEST SOAP EVER!!!) girlfriend - a mob slut. Spent a lot of time in a bar with him, owned a gun - it was a little silver pistol that fit in a girls hand - then I was in my mother's manure pile looking at my car that was stuck when who gets out of it? Kelly Ripa! Being a mob bosses girlfriend, all I had to do was tell her to hand over the keys and she did and ran, but before she did I noticed she owned a ...hippopotamus. I can't make this shit up folks! After she ran away I was in the recovery room of a hospital waiting for my mother who just had an eye lift - she was explaining to me that she had a poor moment before the surgery because instead of her, the staff thought she was Solomon, a black man in a wheelchair that I work with (in real life) and she was afraid the surgery wasn't going to be done correctly. Her eyes looked great, by the way. Can't wait to fall asleep again. Bring on the midgets!!!! Have a great day!

UUUMMM...NOPE
Couldn't make it more than 1 1/2 hours around smokers and not have one - OK, a whole pack by days end. I am sooooo weak!!!! I have figured that I can't drink alcohol because that's my trigger, which is good...and as a "sign", when we finally returned home at 7 p.m. there was a message on the voice mail from Rite Aid that my pre-authorization was expedited and my Chantix is ready for pick up anytime for only my copay:-) I am very disappointed in myself, but am back on the horse this morning. My arms are COVERED with some itchy rash thing which I am sure is a reaction to my smoking - that's the only thing I can think of. I am such an ASSHOLE!!! Don said he knew it was a bad idea to go in the first place and put me in a situation that I wasn't able to handle yet - he definitely knew I would need more than 4 days without a cigarette to be strong. He also knows how I get when I have been drinking - hilarious, yes...a chain smoker, YUP!
The benefit was a success and they raised a lot of money for a good cause and I am happy I went.
I will keep updating with my success - I am determined to be a non-smoker!!!!

It's the fourth day...Today I get to test myself and hang out with people that are smoking - lots of them. I don't think it will be a problem, though. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I am trying not to jinx myself, but the nicotine is out of my system and I am now just dealing with the "habit". I realized that I stopped doing needlepoint because I couldn't hold a cigarette and stitch at the same time - this could be a hint at what everyone is getting for Christmas this year:-) They are right about the taste of food, too. I realize I use WAY to much salt. So far so good with the eating to compensate thing as well - good news considering my ass is the size of Asia already. Monday I get to jump on the exercise bandwagon and I am actually looking forward to that. Treadmill is dusted off and ready to go...
I also am thinking (thanks B) that if I took $7.26 a day ($5.00, silly B) and put it away I would have all my credit card balances paid off by July - just in time to max them out on a great hat and a day at the races/spa:-) Have a great weekend!

Wait - Come Back!!!
So...went to the Doctor on Wednesday morning and he had great words of encouragement for me. "You are a freakin' trainwreck, Deb." Thanks, Dr. Weis - Fuck you! But, he is right. I am kissing 40, Diabetic (not hereditary), overweight and a smoker. So - while on vacation this week I became a non-smoker - hopefully forever, but at least for now. I threw the cigarettes I had with me out the window, dropped my prescription for Chantix off at Rite Aid and went back an hour later after driving around trying not to buy cigarettes to find that I needed pre-approval and insurance wasn't covering the pills. If I had $159.00 in my pocket, I would have paid for them anyway, but I didn't. So, since 9 p.m. 3/17/09 I haven't smoked - they say it takes three days for the nicotine to be out of my system, so that's not an issue anymore, but the habit still is. I have been drinking water like it's going out of style and I also have washed every stitch of clothing in the house - I have washed and re-washed dishes, read 3 books, planted all my seeds in starter kits to be ready for May, cleaned my car (somewhat), made salsa from scratch and played Mahjong virtually non-stop to fight the urge to smoke. Not so bad after all, really. The weekend will be the real test - social things to do and hanging around people smoking might be a test, but I'll let you know. Have a great weekend!

Tasty Angels
Has anyone ever heard that if you see a feather randomly that it's an angel? I am not talking seeing a bird hit by a car and grabbing all the carnage thinking "ooohhh angel, angel, angel", I am talking seeing a feather floating through the air for no reason whatsoever. Well, I don't know where I got it from, but I believe they are angels.
I got through my weekend on call just fine - had to work 9 hours on Saturday, but it wasn't an overnight and that's what makes me panic.
I found a feather Saturday morning and I didn't save it - it was floating through the air in my kitchen - I let it land on the floor and just walked over it. I had to work.
Sunday, I saw a feather in my car early in the morning and it floated by my face - I caught the sucker and I ate it! Didn't work on Sunday - only had two calls and they were bullshit calls - phone hasn't rung at all this morning...coincidence? I think not! I think I might be a bit constipated, but other than that - I am good!
I have used the feather previously on call weekends as well. I saw one once and put it in my sock, but during the night I kicked my socks off and the angel was gone. Eating them works much better:-)
Have a great day!

AAAAAAGHHHHH
RABBIT, RABBIT, RABBIT. If I slide off my steps and land under my car on the ice out front of my house ONE MORE TIME, I swear to god I am going to fucking stay there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I don't see it coming, but one foot off the steps, look of horror on my face, huge gasp of terror and then CRASH!!!! Down I go like the Titanic after it decided to stop hanging on to the top of the ocean. It's never graceful, always painful and although I fail to realize it...completely predictable!!!! Went to the store for Halite today and couldn't find any, so if you don't hear from me for awhile, it means I attempted to go to work tomorrow morning and the gods are laughing so hard at me they are peeing their pants. I will be under my car, crying...

:-(
I am such a bad blogger:-( I just don't have things to say sometimes. Not as bad as my friend Sara though...She must take school seriously.
I am convinced Spring is here, though. My sister reported the robin sighting and the maintenance man at work confirmed that there is action in the area. He immediately took the plow off his truck, so I think we are safe. This winter has been long and snowy and I think everyone is ready for grass and sun except Don - he has fishing tournaments scheduled into March. Hate to admit it, but I hope they are cancelled.
Realized I am a total redneck - told work I couldn't help them out today because the Daytona is on...YeeHaa!!!!!! Gentlemen start your engines! Doesn't make me a bad person:-)
Have a great day!

I did it!
Happy Groundhog Day! Hope the little @#$%@ doesn't see his shadow. I have actually been to Punksatawnee(?) and past his little house - Phil...I know where you live, so think carefully before you look this morning!
What a great game last night, huh? Commercials SUCKED!!!!!!! I think it's the best Superbowl that has been played in my lifetime. The only thing that made me angry was the artistic liberty Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson both felt they could take with the songs they sang. The people that wrote these songs gave them a melody - stick to it for the love of pete!
Finally got on the treadmill!!!! Have a great day and Happy Early Spring!

really...
OK - the treadmill is out, up and running and ready...Still haven't gotten on it, but tomorrow's the day - It would have been silly to step on it before Super Bowl Sunday, right? Really, tomorrow...really...

Whew
Not bad...The treadmill is now where I can see the TV - didn't get on it this morning, though. I will. Don handled the whole thing very well - tried to blow up twice but I ssshhh'd him and he actually listened. Huh, who knew? He was bummed after it was all said and done - I had promised him 5 new tip-ups for the ice fishing contest this coming weekend and the store he wanted to go to was closed:-( All part of the plan:-)
Have a great Australia Day!

Moving day
Hello all - This may be my last post, so I will make it count. If I am never heard of again, I can assure you my husband had something to do with it. He very kindly moved my treadmill from the dining room to the computer room at the beginning of November. I promised myself and him that I would use it everyday in that room because I could watch the news on the computer and listen to all my favorite music. He had to take doors of hinges and completely disjoint himself to get the damn thing moved - it weighs about 200 or so pounds and had to be dismantled in parts itself. He sweated profusely, swore like a truck driver and made it QUITE CLEAR that "This piece of shit is staying put now - I ain't never doin' that again!" Well...
He's in the process of moving it back where it was originally because I am a total lazy liar and probably never had any intentions of getting on it back there - why would I? There is a nice chair in front of the desk that is quite comfortable while drinking my coffee and perusing blogs, web pages, paying bills, playing games, etc... I have discovered that if I don't use up 30 minutes on the treadmill in the morning, I can actually drink an entire pot of coffee. Let you know how it turns out - he's already swearing and trying to find the cat to kick it:-)

hi there!
Wow - have I been a slacker. What's up?
I posted my first item on E-Bay to sell...forgot to include the minimum bid, so there's a bowl floatin' around that is worth way more than $.99, but that's what I am obligated to sell it for if no one else bids. Live and learn.
Learned something new about my husband this weekend. We have been together 11 years and I never knew he could fix pipes. I guess it's something that never came up in conversation - he said it's what he did for over a year when he worked on the road with Home Depot, but I guess I never really paid attention. Bad Wife!
Oh yeah - the treadmill I moved into the computer room and promised Don he would never have to touch again...It's moving back out to take the place of the dining room furniture. Apparently I get sidetracked when I go to turn it on and end up sitting in front of the computer for 1 1/2 hours every day. It's time to get my fat ass moving!!!!
Holy shot on McGhee last night during the game. Happy that the Steelers are on their way as the representation of the AFC since the Jets are LOSERS - hear they may be picking up the D coach of the Ravens. I will tell you what angers me a little about the game last night - McGhee gets hit BAD, there's a lot of concern on the field and the camera goes to Ray Lewis (OJ, Jr.) on the bench. Well looky there - photo op, attention seeker Lewis grabs his helmet and runs on the field to kneel in prayer where the commentators speak more about that than what's wrong with he downed fella. WHAT A PHONY!!!!! I am sure he doesn't want McGhee to be seriously injured, but come on dude - don't be so transparent.
Happy Birthday Jennifer! Happy Birthday MLK,Jr. Have a great day! I took tomorrow off to watch the inauguration in it's full entirety!

Say what?????
So you think once you've been with someone for 11 years, you've seen/heard it all. Apparently not...Don and I were watching the game Saturday night when one of the guys jumped the line and was offsides...I yell "Encroachment", because I love saying it and I think the term is hysterical. Don yells, at the same time I do, "Emproachment" which makes my head snap around and say "WHAT DID YOU SAY"? This man played how many years of football in school, let alone has been watching the game for 30+ years. I was shocked. This man isn't stupid by any means - actually very talented and smart as a whip. All I could think about was the songs we hear on the radio and you can't really hear the words so you sing what you think they are?
Wrapped up like a douche an goin' runnin' in the night (Blinded by the light)
Have a great day!
