Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride! -- Source unknown

My life's work realized in an article on MSN....

I almost forgot to tell you about the complete craziness I read about today... Yes, apparently some Physicists have nothing better to do with their time but to study how to become invisible... I read an article today at work while surfing about on MSN (I printed it off at work, I'll have to link it tomorrow).

I would love to be able to quit my job and study this full time! I'm pretty sure I have already found a way as many times I could swear that I'm driving an invisible truck!~

Cover songs....

I usually don't like cover songs, but the other day driving to work, I heard Sarah McLachlan cover Blackbird by the Beatles. This is one of my favorite Beatles songs.

Sarah Mc took my breath away.... right there in the middle of rush hour.... Yep, she's good...

Let's play catch up....

So, my power came back on on Tuesday.... Almost a full week without electricity.... It sucked big time!!! But a big thank you should go out to all those who took me in while it was out.

The rest of the week wasn't much.... it was highlighted by an "International" night with CP. We had Mexican for dinner and a pedi from the orient. Crazy fun I tell you!!

The weekend was spent watching too many episodes of Ab Fab, House and How I Met your Mother, shopping with Smash and L-man and buying new bath towels.... Kind of boring, but nice!

Just so you don't think I'm ignoring you again....

Yes, I'm still without electricity! It has been since last Wednesday.... I'm grouchy because I feel like I'm homeless.... When I do stay at my place, I'm all out of sorts because I have a little routine and I can't do any of it.... SUCKS!!!


I'm hoping it will be back by this Wednesday, but I don't know.....

All is good for now.....

Yes I did have a small panic attack on the way to the doctor.... No I didn't pass out!! I know I'm a baby about this whole getting blood taken thing, but come on.... Including this time, I can count the number of times I've had to have it done on one hand with two fingers left! I fucking hate needles! I almost freaked out when the nurse put the needles and vials out in front of me! And when I opened my eyes (yeah I had them shut tight!) there lying next to my arm are two huge vials of my blood.... I about passed!!

So tomorrow is the day.... I started my fasting at 9:00 pm tonight and will have my blood taken at 9:00 am tomorrow. I don't even get to drink water..... How horrible is that????

the words....

You've Got To Show

Yes it's true I've gotten very moody over you
Don't think I don't sense your caution way across the room
Or across the phone lines, big black ocean, or conversation brief
We can't find a clear connection, and I can't get relief
Why don't we both agree we're both afraid and too afraid to say
If I say count to three and move toward me, would you meet me half the way
There are a thousand things about me I want only you to know
But I can't do it alone, you've got to show

While you occupy me I command my dreams each day
To bring you in me even thinly as the morning chases you away
I half believe if I just picture us we will come true
Wishful thinking or my dreams sinking half depends on you

Show me you are fully alive
If you want to fly you take this diveIf you want to kiss, kiss for real
I'll give you back everything you feel

Drive in space that peaceful place
You'd be my secret sharerFront and back and all around the thin margin of error
Move too fast or move too or somewhere in between
Navigate the perfect distance so your getaway is clean
Why don't we both agree we're both afraid and too afraid to say
If I say count to three and move toward me would you meet me half way
There are a thousand things about me I want only you to know
But I can't go there alone, you've got to show

health update....

So I went to the doctor today to have a lump I found in my arm a couple of weeks ago looked at.... No, that wasn't the only reason I went... I was actually there for a medication follow up. While I was there, I thought it would be a good time to ask about the lump. She is pretty sure it is a cyst, but would like me to have blood work done, just to make sure. (She thinks that I should have blood work more often than every 3 years.... I think I should have it every 10 years if that!) Hopefully by next week I'll have enough guts to go have my blood taken......

We have a leak.....

Last night when I got home from work I was hit by the smell of gas when I opened the door. After calling the gas company and being advise not to turn anything on or off and to go outside, I decided it would be nice to let the other woman in the duplex know it would not be a good idea if she was lighting up on her side. The gas man showed up about 1/2 hour later and found that the leak was in both water heaters..... he had to turn the gas off for the night. Needless to say, I got my shower as fast as possible so I would still have some hot water left! Today when I got home it was all fixed..... Gotta love my landlady.....

Yes, I've had a drink or two....

And I danced with a bunch of women, what ya wanna make of it? I had a great time!!! And I must say, that a lot of people don't know this about me, but I love to dance.... get a drink or two in me and I'm a crazy lady on the dance floor..... but I only like to bump and grind..... no two step for me.... Ask Chicken Chow Mien (formerly referred to ask Biscuit).... She was my dance partner in our college country line dance class and can a test for how horrible I am at the two step!

more sexy songs.....

alright, so I"m reading Aunt B's blog earlier and she has a link to Justin Timberlake's new song Sexy Back.... She says how she really likes it and it is one of her guilty pleasures..... I must concur..... It goes along with all the "sex" songs I like, especailly when it's a bit kinky.... hmmmm......

I’m bringing sexy back;them other boys don’t know how to act.I think it’s special, what’s behind your back?so turn around and I’ll pick up the slack.
Dirty babe, you see these shackles;baby I’m your slave.I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave;it’s just that no one makes me feel this way.
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Come here girl, go ahead be gone with it,COme to the back, go ahead be gone with it,VIP, go ahead be gone with it,Drinks on me, go ahead be gone with it,You see what you working with, go ahead be gone with it,You make me smile, go ahead be gone with it,Come here child, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on, go ahead be gone with it,Get your sexy on.
[Verse 2: Timberlake]
I’m bringing sexy back;them motherf***ers don’t know how to act.Come let me make up for the things you lack,cause you’re burning up, I’ve got to get it fast.
Dirty babe, you see these shackles;baby I’m your slave.I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave;it’s just that no one makes me feel this way.
[Chorus: Timbaland]
[Verse 3: Timberlake]
I’m bringing sexy back;them motherf***ers watch how I attack.If that’s your girl, better watch your back,cause you’re burning up for me, and that’s a fact

ALIVE

Yes world, I am still very much alive..... Just crazy busy and crazy tired... The 4th was the first day I had all to myself (I watched a COPS marathon and never changed out of my PJ's).

My other excuse is my computer is next to my bed, so by the time I'm in bed, it is way too tempting to just go to sleep.... I'm buying a desk this weekend if it kills me!!!

Well, off to sleep....
