Wait, I forgot to tell you


Today when I was at an 'office' store getting copies I noticed an older guy wearing shorts and a tank top sitting in a desk chair chatting on his cell phone. He was deep into a conversation about the concert last night, blah blah blah and so on.

I stepped outside to get in my car and low and behold there was a cute little Miata with the top down parked so close that I couldn't get the door open. I stepped back into the store and said to the gent sitting down as if in his own living room.

"Scuse me, scuse me, is that your Miata?"

"What?" I repeat the question. "sure, why?" he said.

"Could you move it please, so I could get into my car, you parked too close."

Rolling his eyes, he asked how did I know it was his car, to which I replied.

"You're the only horses ass I could see sitting in the store like it was your living room and figured you were treating the parking lot like your very own garage." To which he went out and moved his car, I then got into my car and left.

Don't roll your eyes at me buddy.

hey there what's so important!


We'll here I am finally. I haven't had anything to write about for the past little while so I haven't written anything. I suppose if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say anything, eh? Actually I'm trying to write a paragraph and see how many times I can write the word anything in it... ya with me so far? Anything goes.

I've been busy but haven't really wanted to sit in front of a computer after sitting in front of a computer all day. The weather is finally cooperating and when we can, we work in the yard. We have all sorts of projects again this year including replacing a fence with the same fence but in a new position, huh? You'll see when we're finished. There's the usual gardening stuff, like weeding and then we'll bark the yard. We are in a pretty good maintenance stage so it's just thinking up some new gardeney stuff to do.

Work is the same... In our off time when we are forced to be in the house after dark, we've discovered Guitar Hero for the Xbox 360. For the record I ROCK at kindergarten level. I'm a maniac with three fingers, but you add the blue button of death and I'm total shit! It's quite hilarious. Frankly it's better than a driving or killing game. I can't do those at all. In fact, if I were kidnapped by some renegade game developers and told that the only way I would be let loose was to drive my way out of Springfield during the Simpson game, reach all levels and get all the different cars, then they just might let me go. Well guess what, it would take me a lifetime to do that. I wonder if I were really forced to play all the time, would I get better? Anyone want to give me a grant to study that facet of gaming? Anyone? Anyone?

As I type this the family is battling it out over songs that you would think you would growtired of, but strangely, no. Those songs play the endless auto replay sync in my head for days to come. I do wonder if there are country and western version of songs for those who aren't particularly into Rock. Then of course there would be the polka version for the Midwest group and the reggae for the more relaxed crowd. I just might be able to conquer that more relaxed version. I think I'm on to something. Easy listening Guitar Hero

In the past, I've been in study groups for Microsoft and I got a call one day to qualify me for an upcoming study. They asked about Xbox 360 and what games I played and how often. How often do I play Grand Theft Auto? Never. How often do I play Splinter Cell. Never. How often do I play Madden 08? Never. Do you play with your friends online? No. How many hours a week do you play Xbox? less than 1. This is the statement that came next. "Miss, I don't think that you are the demographic that we are looking for." Ya think? When are they going to start marketing to 49 year old women that don't like to kill things or drive in racing games. My perfect game is a logic game where I solve puzzles, and see beautiful scenery and collect prizes. All the while maintaining a real time aging process. I'll let you know when they call back.

"Very well, I accept"





A meme to share with you.


Here’s what I did :

"Post the rules on your blog.

The rules!
- Write six random things about yourself in a blog post
- Tag six people in your post
- Let each person know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog, or call them,
- Let the tagger know your entry is up--it's up!
Next, write your 6 things (duh). Hee hee, I think the Duh was added later but I liked it so I kept it. And I copied this from Vegas Princess so I left that in too."

Shall we?

1. As I type I have the keyboard on my lap. My legs are up on my desk with my feet on crossed at the ankles, and I'm totally leaned back in my chair....how's that for random.

2. When I smell lilacs for the first time every spring, I think of my grandma on my dads side. She died when I was very young, but I recall that she had lilacs at her house.

3. I am 99.9% sure that each of my 6 siblings and their grown children, (if they have any) all own their own homes or will within days of this post. I think that's pretty awesome in this day and age. Now, let's see if we can keep them, huh?

4. I once told some co-workers as we were flying on the corporate jet, that one day I would have my very own personal jet. They laughed at me, I can't wait to fly in for an hour or so and ask if they want to go for a spin.
Stop laughing, my life isn't over yet. Besides, it's good to have a goal.

5. Once when I saw a full moon rising, I cried for the fact that I would most likely never set foot on it. ya think?

6.I usually give people nicknames and sometimes accidently address them that way. oops.

so I'm gonna switch this up a little. I'm going to MEME NON bloggers. The lurkers if you will. Post your 6 random things here. OR start your own blog, it's fun and easy.
