watch

I have stuff planned for tomorrow how much you want to bet it'll snow?
Now I wish it would snow Sunday those plans are plans I wish could get cancelled.

faabulous

after one viewing I am hooked on the Real Housewives of NYC. It's horrible these women just scream new money! Of course I have no money so maybe I'm just jealous????
After watching the preview episode a month or so ago I told D none of these women are actual New Yorkers they might live there now but they were raised someplace else and sure enough...
A real New Yorker with old money would not be on this show.
So this travesty along with Top Chef till Project Runway comes back.

innocuous work complaint

one of the owners will sometime go on a drive to micromanage my job and drive me crazy. I know I l know short trip and all back to my story... He likes to involve himself a lot in the DVD buying aspect and will print up random lists from imdb.com & amazon and decide we need to carry everything on them. Or get a list of every title available from our vendor under 14.99 and he will mull these over look them up in our system then challenge me as to why we don't carry it or why I did not re-order it when it sold. Now I am not perfect and I am not claiming to be however buying is not an exact science what plays in Peoria will not necessarily play in Knoxville.
My apologies to John Sayles (I really enjoyed Lone Star) but I am completely unfamiliar with Return of the Secaucus Seven. I was surprised to see that we had even stocked at one time but it did take over a year at both locations to sell in 2004 so I did not re-stock the film and I will not reorder it now
He has just started a series of lists and scribbled notes for me this week-his master list the top films of the 1930's.....

urban legends for kids

I mentioned webkinz a few months ago-for the uninitiated they are beanie bears meet build a bear. Stuffed animals that come with a computer code so you can log on register your pet, name them play computer games and earn money to buy them food and disco balls, a car etc. Smart marketing in my opinion you can also buy toy clothing, charm bracelets, trading cards all with codes of their own to add to your cyberlife. It appeals to both genders with a wide range of animals to choose from Connor is heavy into the dogs and started up with this stuff last fall he only has maybe 6-very small number compared with my nieces. Sometime around the holidays over breakfast C started with well Esmeralda(names changed to protect the innocent or stupid in this case) says that Miss Birdy(the welcoming bird of webkniz world) turned into a vampire and killed all of the webkinz. Try explaining that in fact that would be a bad marketing plan and would not happen or would it?? the kiddos would have to get a whole new crop of animals...
We are still without computer at home and a few mornings ago it was brought up that all of his pets would be dead by now because he could not log on and feed them, play with them and such-again because someone told him this helpful information. I assured him they would still be alive and was then instructed to check on them from work which I did this morning all animals intact and "alive". Incredibly enough one of them does have an expiration date of next December but I need to investigate if that can be thwarted with play or do they indeed expire? what a gimmick if they do.

not sure if I should be insulted or not

yesterday evening my dear sweet hubby asked "so are you going to get your hair done before your family visits?"
really does it look that bad? butt head it's a good thing I love the man.
In truth it does need a color & cut pretty bad I still don't need him telling me that though. Sandal weather is looming ahead as well and I am in desperate need of a pedicure! Guess I need another spa visit huh?
I must admit to not really getting the controversy surrounding John Edwards $400 haircuts hell here in little 'ol Knoxville I could easily drop $150 that I can't afford at a salon on just my hair, if I had his money I'd be getting $400 haircuts every month

every once in awhile

especially when looking at the rows of pretty little Easter dresses I wish we had a little girl. Wouldn't trade C for the world but he can not pull off a dress he does however look very sharp in a suit. With first communion fast upon us I need to take him suit & shoe shopping this weekend but I really hate the mall it's a quandary for me.

freshly groomed

for some reason it seems like the boy & the dog get groomed on the same day...
C looking very cool with his part and Oscar looks like a little gay dog with his bandanna

someone you never like to see on your caller id

The school nurse! My heart always goes right into my throat when I see the school or daycare is calling. Evidently C got sick right after lunch and in spite of her craziness I do appreciate that my MIL was able to go pick him up which is great I am across town she is within walking distance of the school. I started rushing around to do what I needed to do to get home and make plans to be off tomorrow as well but I just got the quick phone call not to rush he was already looking for food as her house so hopefully this is just a one off puke and not the dreaded stomach flu going around!

Saturday was spa day for all

well sort of D & C went to the barber and got hair cuts(photos of C's part to follow when I download the camera)
I went and got a facial and massage and even Oscar got a bath and glands squeezed. A good day was had by all!
Then in the evening C had a date-thanks to the retromoderns for taking him to the Blue Man Group! After sushi what did D & I do? did we go to the movies and see one of several films that look pretty good right now? Why no we went home and watched Dragon Wars which is horrible and not even in the Sci-Fi network good and cheesy sort of way..maybe if Lance Henriksen had been in it...
oops forgot the amusing MIL story-so D calls his mother just to chat Sat. morning and mentions C's plans for the evening. Several hours later he gets a return phone call grilling him on just how well we know these people that are taking her grandson for the evening?
and as Anna correctly pointed out we did spend a night in the woods with them and did not get axe murdered which is a point in their favor
