2007/3/31 Size ...1Now I know I've discussed this in the past but I took my daughter shopping today so it's on my mind. Before I was griping about size zero and wondering who was a size zero. As it turned out, my daughter was ...was. Shopping. As if it weren't bad enough that we don't agree on clothing styles, add to that the arugement over size zero and size one. I don't get it, she's 12, almost 13, and we can no longer shop in the kids section. It's not that they don't have trendy clothes, it's just that they don't fit the kids that they're intended for. Why doesn't my 12 year old fit in a size 12 or 14? What are they doing to the clothes these days? It's not like she's abnormally tall or over weight, she's average height and thin. So why, why can't I still shop in the kids dept???
If I could just let it rest at that but no ...no, no, no. Before Christmas she was a size zero, now she's a size one. What's going on here? And the size one's just fit. Who are they making these clothes for??? I want answers!
2007/3/30 Headline of the week$1 parking ticket from 1980 finally paidPayment sent in anonymously with $3 late fee to Waukesha, Wis.
Updated: 9:15 p.m. ET March 28, 2007
WAUKESHA, Wis. - A $1 parking ticket from 1980 has been paid off, after the offender sent the payment along with a $3 late fee to police — without giving a name. "It's kind of cool that someone took the time to take care of their obligation after 26 years," police Capt. Mike Babe told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for a story posted online Monday. "Maybe their conscience got to them." The signature on the money order used to pay for the ticket is not legible, and the return address reads: "Someone who keeps way too many old papers way too long." The envelope carried a Chicago postmark. PMS and a handgunBoy am I in a foul mood today. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed as they say. I'm chalking it up to PMS. So what to do to turn my mood around? Aside from the years of therapy that I probably need, I've deemed today Elton John Day. Every once in a while a person needs their Elton John fix, today is that day ...for me, and you too, if you're volume is on.
Perhaps a list of complaints would make me feel a bit better. It's always better to get these things out rather than keep them in.
Complaint #1: I'm tired!
Complaint #2: I'm tired of being tired.
Complaint #3: I'm over worked and underpaid.
Complaint #4: Rarely do I feel appreciated.
Complaint #5: People suck.
Complaint #6: The world is wrong.
Complaint #7: School is sucking the life out of me.
Complaint #8: My job ...I'm losing it, first it was 3/1/07, then 9/1/07, now ...who knows.
Complaint #9: I'm not losing my job soon enough, I want the payout ;)
Complaint #10: Now that my list is into double digits I'm going to have to go back and fix the spacing so everything lines up right.
Complaint #11: I'm not going back to fix the damn spacing!
Complaint #12: I have too many complaints.
OK, I'm done, for now. Time to find the headline of the week. 2007/3/29 What not to eatI'm doing the world a favor by saying ...don't eat the new Chunky Chicken Salad Frescata at Wendy's. It's just awful. Perhaps it's the word "Chunky" that turned me off right away. I don't know. Awful, awful I tell you! I would like to say more but the thought of that sandwich is making me sick  2007/3/28 Going out on a limbAmerican Idol is in full swing and although I haven't blogged about it I do have an opinion. When this season started I thought that it was going to be just awful. I wasn't connecting with any of the contestants and thought that there wasn't a talented one in the bunch. What I've come to realize is that I have to wait until the final 12 before I can start seriously watching. The beginning is funny with all the people who can't sing but once they're off to Hollywood for the next round I lose interest, until the final 12 that is. So the next round began and there was Sanjaya, it seems there's still some talent impaired in the top 12. I continued to watch having faith that America was going to give him the boot the first week. Fast forward to present day ...he's still there. So now I'm thinking to myself, who's voting, how does this happen? Oh, I know the hows and whys, I guess I'm just in denial.
Last night I tuned in and was happy to see that Gewn Stefani was on and maybe we'll hear some good songs. HELLO ...I think only 2 of her songs were played and one of the two was "Bathwater" sung by none other than ...Sanjaya. His hair ...I think every other blog in the world covered that so I'll spare you the details. He began to sing and I was sort of sucked in, he wasn't good but he wasn't bad. He mixed it up a bit and put his own spin on it and you know, it wasn't bad. As I'm watching him perform, hair flopping, I thought to myself 'he's marketable'. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think he can be molded into something. He has a certain flare to him, I won't go as far to say that he's the next teen heart throb but there's definitely something there. You heard it here first!
Today at work, someone referred to Sanjaya by his last name and I was like "who?". Then I said "oh, Sanjaya". Yes, he is a star in the making. I know I'm going out on a limb here but just think of some people who have made it big, recognizable by only one name: Prince, Sting, Madonna. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely no comparison between him and these big names but there is something. Now playing ...Fade

I try to breathe Memories overtaking me I try to face them but the thought is too Much to conceive I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness That my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just too busy with yourself You were never there for me to Express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made So where were you When all this I was going through You never took the time to ask me Just what you could do I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness That my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just too busy with yourself You were never there for me to Express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made 2007/3/27 Blue skies and donutsSpring has finally arrived, kind of. It rained and rained the past two days, melting the St. Patrick's Day snow. Today started out glum but by mid-afternoon the sky turned blue, the sun was shining and it was warm out. Yes, spring is in the air. As if that's not enough, the new Dunkin Donuts that's in front of our building is opening tomorrow. WOO HOO!!! Life is good! 2007/3/16 Snow?!Another holiday, another snow storm. You just have to love living in the great Northeast! 2007/3/12 For what it's worthAngelina Jolie. What comes to mind when you hear her name? The first word that comes to my mind is beautiful. My blog's subtitle is "My thoughts and opinions I have many", I don't care if people argee or disagree with what I have to say. Of course no one will argue that statement, most will think that yes, she's physically attractive, no doubt. So now that we've established that Angelina is the most beautiful woman in the world I would like to expand on that and say it's not just on the surface. Angelina has been a goodwill embassador for the Untied Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for years. Recently she has done an interview with Newsweek magazine which caught my eye. I've always known that she traveled to third world countries visiting with children, even adopting. Some may view this as a publicity stunt, why else would a celebrity show such interest? Before today I never really had an opinion one way or another. So why do I have one now? I finally took some time to see what her work was all about. My conclusion, she's genuine. I won't go into detail as to what she has done, if you're interested you will read it on your own. I'm just here to say don't be so quick to judge other peoples actions, there's more to a person then what lies on the surface.

2007/3/6 Now Playing ..."One Last Breath"
Creed Please come now I think I'm falling I'm holding to all I think is safe It seems I found the road to nowhere And I'm trying to escape I yelled back when I heard thunder But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down I'm looking down now that it's over Reflecting on all of my mistakes I thought I found the road to somewhere Somewhere in His grace I cried out heaven save me But I'm down to one last breath And with it let me say Let me say Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking That maybe six feet Ain't so far down Sad eyes follow me But I still believe there's something left for me So please come stay with me 'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me For you and me For you and me Hold me now I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking |
