This is how I'm feeling about a certain place that did not hire me. Grrrrr.

geggghhhghghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

"I don't want to dive near the GIANT jellyfish!"

'Member? Wa ha ha ha ha!! I don't understand why this isn't the most popular blog on the net. WHY?!



(Cuz, this is a Patrick balloon that had apparently escaped its moorings and ended way up on the ceiling of the grocery store, and, of course, I had to take a photo of it with my cell phone, despite the odd looks shot at me by my fellow shoppers.)

Remember?? Did you know that apparently you can see Cadillac Ranch from THE HIGHWAY??? It makes my blood pressure go up just thinking about it. EVERYONE is going to the Cadillac Ranch! Sigh.


But look! Now we must take a road trip to Nebraska where they have CARHENGE!!! Woo hoo!


Quiz: Where is the Mystery Hole? Hm?

I just got an email from Amy's Candy! It said a chocolate covered apple was the perfect cure for cabin fever -- I agree!!

You do realize that your "resolution" makes me NOT want to post so that I can see what weird photos you'll post next!

No real news. Notice in Unzipped how annoyingly whiny Linda Evangelista is!! Do you know that he has a show on the Style channel? I think its on at 7 p.m. Tonight is Project Runway. Woohoo! Now that ANTM is over for now, you should join me in my next fashion reality show addiction! The new episode is at 10, but the two previous episodes air at 8 and 9.

I couldn't figure out why you were posting a picture of Vivian! Weird doppleganger cats!

I had a successful venture to the mall today -- I had to get a suit, shoes and a new handbag for my job interview tomorrow. There were a LOT of people there. I didn't like that. Too crowded. Personal space issues.

Ming Tsai rules!! and Bobby Flay? Lahoosaherrr! Good defeats evil once again.

Cuz, this one is for you!

Remember Pixie-Headed Noel??!?

Look! Its her!!

Remember? "Stuckey's is a pain in the neck." -- Dad

Today we got a GIANT honey-glazed spiral-cut ham delivered to the family from my favorite Godfather. So Mom (apparently a bit fuzzy brained by the sight of all the pig) said to me, "are you going to call Uncle Ham?" I told her that I didn't think he would want us to call him that. WA HA HA HA!!!

Which one of your four stomachs???? I was just enjoying Baruchito's blog - Thoughts of a hamster. It's excellent. He reports about Papa.
All fire departments on alert tonight as I'm making cookies for the office....the scary Martha Stewart.

Low-Singing Christmas Decoration Tour NEVER disappoints!

Let's see --
Starbucks trying to pawn off the MOCHA peppermint cocoa, AGAIN!
"Oh no! Not the blue lights again."
"Look! Its waving Santa! Hi Santa!!"
"Look, its waving Santa again. Hi Santa."
"Oh no, not waving Santa again. Turn the other way!"
"That's the creepy creche."
"Didn't you like that inflatable tree last year?"
"Creche on a picnic table!"
"The end of Chris's street is creepy."
"The albino creche." (we're definitely going to hell!)
"Where is the creepy street from last year?" "Why did we think this was creepy?"
"Remember where I thought it was a drug deal going down? Let's go there!" "Its a park -- AAAHHHHH!!!"

ahhh, the fun. Can't wait until next year!
(when I spellchecked this, it wanted me to replace "ahhh" with "ahoy." Isn't that excellent?! AHOY!

Have to say, making chocolate holiday sugar cookies with The Boy = messy + fun!!! Love him!!!

Happy Birthday To YOU!
Happy Birthday To YOU!
Happy Birthday Dear Momogusssss!!!!!
Happy Birthday To YOUUUU!!!!
And many more.....
And she lives down our alley......

Happy birthday dear sister!

By the way, when I called the vets to make an appointment for O to get his special bath, when I said his name the girl said, "O the Corgi??!!" I said, "yes. Is he famous there?" and she responded, "Yes he is! He is so sweet!" Isn't that nice? The fact that they like him, not the fact that he goes to the vets so much that he's "famous" there.

Emergency ROOM (Noah Wyle is on E.R., not E.W.)

XOXO

The Weasel

So when The Boy came over yesterday, he brought that Weasel toy (the one attached to the ball with the motor in it.) In the afternoon he had the weasel going in and out of all the kitchen cabinets and drawers. He and I both got distracted by the cake-making and forgot about the weasel, who had last been hiding in the placemat drawer. So this morning Mom goes to get placemats to set the table and sees what she thinks is a tail of a GIANT rodent-type animal. She said she closed the drawer really fast and then slowly reopened it, and only then did the ball roll forward and she realized it was The Boy's toy. But for a few brief moments, she had the bejesus scared out of her! She brought it upstairs to show me and we put it in the towel closet. Watch out Dad!!!

I think you and Mom are the only two people I know who refer to the Emergency "Ward." I'm glad Hub is feeling better. Did he get the creepy blood pressure guy? WA ha ha ha!! And the sound-proof curtains?!

And I was wondering what YOU were teaching him about the reindeer!

While babysitting The Boy today, we were looking at the decorations on the dining room table -- santa in a wooden sleigh with two reindeer. The Boy said, pointing to each of the deer, "this one is Donner and this one is Nixon." Excellent!

Plus you should know that he was just a pleasure to hang out with -- very cooperative and fun!

Hola Cugine!!!

I was the northern holiday/christmas/hannukah/kwanzaa/Greek Orthodox (hope that was comprehensive enough) elf on Wednesday. I took the day off and we planned on being NYC tourists. However, our mukluks weren't warm enough, so we did the tree and whole house (apt.) in festive decorations. It is lovely, if I do say so myself.

Never got hooked on Model, but thanks to you two I cannot miss House. Shamefully, I can tell you everything you never wanted to know about either Apprentice show. (That is only to be known within these walls - okay!?!)

Can't wait to see you.
