Gimme a Fifth!

I'll drink to that! Well, in reality I don't guess I do much drinking. However, I sure have felt like it the past couple of days. My computer problems continue today since my SQL server has decided that it isn't going to do any work until further notice. I suspect it is drivers, but haven't been able to get the right ones in place. So, today is October 5th. Saw a good many notable birthdays for today, but I guess the one in particular that I will give "shouts" to is my neice's husband, Rodney. Happy Birthday Rodney, glad you've stuck with our crazy lil family, and you've brought us ReRe and Jack Jack... Hope you have a great day. Your present is in the mail (Tiger Direct must've sent it to the wrong address too--hahah joking).

So far so good on Mr. J and I getting back to our walking and fitness, we've been eating mostly organics and trying to cook healthy and do well. I just realized yesterday that I haven't even eaten any meat for over two weeks, which hasn't bothered me one bit--I didn't even miss it... I guess I could do without everything meaty except for the fish and shrimp... I do love seafood and fish. But that is all pretty healthy anyway. Gonna go walking this evening, and then head to the practice room for our band rehearsal... Then call it a night. Tomorrow is Friday once again, so I guess i've made it through... we'll see what the weekend has to prove soon enough... Happy thoughts readers-and if you haven't watched the farting preacher, do yourself a favor and click play...

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim...

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await...

Thirsty

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
