That Scary Zombie Firefighter Man


Yep, it's a phrase to make a mother's heart proud. This is what my son was called at Sis and Rafe's haunted house. He seemed to be a huge hit with everyone - whether they thought he was cool or thought he was scary, The Boy was the most talked about part of the night. The rest of the HH was also fantastic - they did a really great job on it. I'll post some pictures in a day or two; you can probably also see some on Sis' blog.

I'm too tired to post any more tonight and I have an early, busy day ahead of me. I probably won't get much posted before Monday, but I'll try.

Here's a picture of The Boy (from last year). He had a better mask this year - but I didn't get a picture of him ...

Ohhh - Kaay ....

Had an interesting conversation this afternoon with one of my co-workers, AZ. She said that she noticed me eating oatmeal this morning, and asked me how "I made it". I guess I got a blank look on my face because she said that she knew it was instant, but how'd I fix it? I said, "Well, I opened the packet, poured the oatmeal into the bowl, added water and microwaved it for one minute." She got an odd look on her face, laughed, and said "That's what I did wrong!" Apparently, she and her husband had never made oatmeal before and her husband decided he'd never eat it again. They decided to use milk instead of water. So, how did she make the oatmeal? She opened the packet, poured the oatmeal into a bowl, added milk and served it. Yep, served it. No microwaving. No heating of the milk prior to it being added to the oatmeal. Ew!

It is Survivor night, and I don't know if I'm up to watching it or not. I mean, I can only take so much humiliation for my team ... besides the fact that I'm going broke! And it is tempting to go to the "spoiler" thread at FoRT, since the show has already started for those in the Eastern part of the US. It's nice that everyone at FoRT respects the time zones and only posts show info in the spoiler threads until Friday so we don't accidentally read them if we don't want to know ahead of time.

Well, I'm going to try and decide what to eat for dinner (probably a hamburger) and read for a bit.

Inkheart Trailer

Just saw a trailer (on hulu.com) for the movie "Inkheart" (in theatres 1/23/09). It looks like it will be good, but looks like it deviates from the book A LOT. Not sure if I'll like that or not, although I'm anxious to see the movie.

And I don't remember any of the other things I was going to blog about.

Quick Post

Yesterday - work, tacos and home. That's about it! Although I did forget to post about my great disappointment the other day. Cleaning out a drawer I found a Red Lobster gift card; my first thought was "Endless Shrimp" is here! Went online to check the balance on the card - less than $8. *sigh* And a license plate frame seen on Monday:
GO USC
and whoever is playing UCLA

Gotta finish getting ready for work. Bye.

Almost Finished

Well, we took another two car loads of stuff to Happy's tonight, and I think we're about done. There are still a few things to be packed into Duh's car, and then the cleaning to be done. She has someone to work on that tomorrow. Then comes the hard part for Duh - getting all her stuff unpacked and put away. If she's anything like I am there are still things that weren't unpacked from the move into the apartment. Anyway, I don't think I have to go up or down those stairs again.... yay!

I was finally successful in renewing my Drivers' License today. Only took three trips to the DMV, and I have to wear my glasses to drive. I know I can drive just as well with or without them; I just can't read street signs and license plates if I shut my right eye. Since I'm not in the habit of shutting (um, that wasn't a good place to put an "i" in that word) my right eye while driving, that isn't a problem. However, since the Powers That Be have determined that I need to wear the glasses, wear them I will. At least until I win the lottery and hire a driver. Hm, guess that means I'd better buy a lottery ticket.

I think that is all the excitement for today ... hope you weren't over-stimulated.

Ex-hausted

Way too many trips up and down stairs today. Way to many boxes and shelves and stuff being carried. Way too much time spent hauling. My neck is sore, my finger is sore (I have absolutely no idea why) and I'm ready for a nap. However, we've got most of Duh's stuff over to Happy's place and should have everything else finished up either tomorrow or Wednesday. Duh has a board meeting on Tuesday so we won't be doing moving.

Had really good timing getting to her place this morning. She called to let me know when she was leaving Riverside, and since she had to make a couple of stops on the way I waited a few minutes before leaving home. As I was in the left turn lane waiting for an approaching car to pass before making the turn in to the apartment complex, I realized the oncoming car was Duh! We arrived at just about the exact same time.

Then, tonight when I got home and turned on the TV, the first thing I heard was a male voice saying, "Oh, you're home." Nice to be greeted!

Anyway, I'm going to check on FoRT for a few minutes and then head off to bed.

Half Of The Weekend

The first half of the weekend is over, and I'm heading to bed soon. Had breakfast with FM, The Kids, Duh and Happy - met at about 9:30 (of course, I was the only one on time). After eating, I joined Happy and Duh at the apartment to "do more packing", although not much got done. He played computer games and we sorted a few books (into boxes of "read" and "to be read"). Also emptied about half of the clothes closet and filled a medium-sized box with shoes. Tomorrow will be the rough day; getting all the furniture packed up into the truck to go to storage. Of course, Happy and his friend C will be doing most of that. I think their friend T is going to be helping, too. Don't know how much lifting she can/will do, but we should probably leave most of that to the men. Too bad there are only going to be the two of them (that I know of).

The next weekends are set aside for the Harvest Festival, and I'm supposed to be going out there with Duh. I'm going to be meeting with her sometime this week to try on 1890's-type clothes to wear. This is a charity event, so hopefully there will be a large crowd. We'll be working in the saloon, so hopefully it won't be too hot and I won't have to worry about sunburn. And - hopefully - my stupid lips will clear up before the weekend. I wasn't even in the sun much last weekend although I was outside a lot. But my lips decided I needed cold sores anyway. Between that and the psoriasis, they'll probably put me in the leper colony instead of the saloon.

Well, it's getting on towards ten o'clock and it will probably be a busy day tomorrow. I'll say "g'night" for now.

Evening At Home

Well, as nice as it has been to be able to spend some time with Duh (since we don't usually see each other too often), I have enjoyed my evening at home. Stopped for a couple of items at the grocery store on the way home. Put away the Tupperware that Duh gave me, tidied the kitchen, took my shower and got into my jammies. Had some seafood salad and an English muffin for dinner, caught up on my FoRT reading. Chatted with Elder Bro for a couple of minutes (online, of course). Watched the worst team ever lose 2 challenges on Survivor and talked with Sis during the commercials. Put my money in the cup. Not an exciting evening, but relaxing. About the only thing I would have changed (I think) would be maybe taking a bit longer in the shower. The hot water felt very good on my neck and back ...

And I'll end with a comic that Rafe sent me the other day. Unless your eyes are much better than mine, you'll need to click on the comic and enlarge it for viewing.

Not Much Progress

Didn't really accomplish much at Duh's this evening. At least, I don't feel like we did ... she may have other feelings on the subject. I'll be taking the next two days off (I'm NOT packing during Survivor and she is going to the bar; then, on Friday she and Happy will be visiting a friend who is having surgery tomorrow). So, I'll be able to get my place tidied up and my laundry done.

Talked to FM tonight - he is 95% sure he can get the additional two tickets for the Finale! I'm not sure if I should say anything to The Other Susan (hereafter to be referred to as TOS, if I remember to do so) or not. I'll wait and see what Sis has to say about it. I'm going to let LM know tomorrow. I'll just tell her that we won't know for sure until late November, but it is in the works and is looking good for now. She'll be jazzed, I'm sure! I'll have to get AT an extra couple bucks on his Starbucks card this year. And maybe something for FM, too ....

Guess that's about it for now. G'night.

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Bedtime

Well, I'm back from helping Duh for the evening - although I didn't really do much. First off, we met The Kids for tacos at Buffalo Inn. Got back to Duh's around 7:30 or so and spent 2 hours working on the place. Didn't have to repack stuff tonight, but there are things packed that shouldn't be. Duh's going to have her "assistant" find them tomorrow, since we don't know which boxes to look in and didn't want to undo everything.

And now, not a thing left to say other than "G'night".

Gonna Be A Busy Week

Just so all those who live for my blog don't think I've forgotten them... I'm helping Duh pack up for her move to Happy's so will not be able to post much this week. She's hoping to be able to get everything out of the apartment on Sunday so she doesn't have to pay another month of rent. Since she's busy most weekends in November, also, she'd possibly have to pay for December and why pay for an apartment that you aren't living in? She already spends most of her time at his place anyway.

Not much else going on right now; of course, during the day yesterday I thought of a couple things to add regarding the weekend and have forgotten them. Wish I had email access at work so I could send myself all these little thoughts.

Still haven't told Duh that I can't make it to the b-day party; I know she won't be angry or upset but I wish I hadn't told her I'd go. Should have realized it was on Halloween and I already had plans. Maybe I should take the chicken way out and send her a link to my blog so she can read about it.... HAHA.

Well - gotta finish getting ready for work. I'll try to post more tonight but no guarantees.

Note to The Boy: I have 2 Tupperware corn butterers for you. No, not for buttering Tupperware corn. Two butterers, made by Tupperware, for you to use to butter corn on the cob. Smarty-pants.

Busy Weekend

Actually have something to post about and I'm too tired to make any sense! Spent the past two days helping out at a Two-Step Dance Festival. One of the coordinators is the sister of Happy, who is Duh's "man". This is the first festival they have had at this location and since it was close to home, Duh decided I needed to get my behind off the couch and be out among living, breathing people. I think it may have shocked her when I agreed to it ... :-)

Technically I was there yesterday as a one-day volunteer but ended up staying for today, too. Most of the time was spent sitting and talking with occasional bursts of work. We helped clean up the hospitality suite after breakfast and again after lunch. Spent some time decorating the pavilion area for the "carnival games" and dinner. Happy and I were in charge of getting contestants for the goldfish game (you know the one, throw a ping pong ball into the goldfish bowl and you get to take home the bowl and fish. We had fifteen bowls with either 2 or 3 fish in each, and were able to get winners for every bowl. Duh said she was kind of surprised at how well I did at getting contestants, because I'm generally rather shy about stuff like that. But I was having fun, and decided most of the people would never see me again, so why not go with the flow! We then had dinner and were "off the clock" for the rest of the evening (the hotel crew said we could wait until today to take down decorations), other than delivering cookies to the dance rooms around 11:00. So, we sat and talked some more, and then sat in the jacuzzi for about 45 minutes (I really need to steal Duh's bathing suit, I liked the way it fit me) and went back to the room. Originally I was going to go home last night since there were already 4 people in the room, but they brought in a rollaway.

Duh and Happy did cookie-duty, and apparently were quite a hit -- they went through half a tray of cookies in the hall before even getting to the ballroom!

Anyway, today was a lot more hanging around and talking until probably about 5:00. Then the hard work started - we had to clean out the rooms and load up the trailer. This took about 3 hours altogether. Well, four if you count the hour or so un-decorating the pavilion earlier.

And now I am exhausted. Never did get a chance to tell Duh that I have to skip out on the birthday celebration at the bar ... but I'm going to meet her after work all week to get her stuff packed up for the move to Happy's. It was a nice weekend; I met some nice people and will help out again (if I'm asked).

Coffee Fail

At work, we send and receive overnight mail bags between our office and all the branch offices. Some are sent daily and some are sent once or twice a week. We've been having problems with delivery between our office and the one in Denver. Well, in the mail bag we received today, they sent us what appears to be a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, it wasn't in a cup - the papers were soaked with it. Also unfortunately, the papers were still slightly damp. Made processing the invoices a joy, let me tell ya ....

Took Henry in for a wash on the way home (he was so filthy, I couldn't stand it any more) and then treated myself to a pedicure. Sure felt good! My toenails are now kind of an orangy color in honor of Halloween. And, speaking of Halloween - for someone who never does anything or goes anywhere, I have plans for Halloween. Actually, I'm supposed to be in two different places on Halloween. And no, they aren't close enough together to manage both. I have a choice of: 1) helping Sis and Ralph with the haunted house; 2) celebrating Duh's birthday at the bar; or 3) lying to both and staying home by myself. Of course, I can't do that because Sis reads this and she'd know I was lying. Darn Sis and her expectations of honesty! I kinda feel like I should go to Duh's party, but I had already made a semi-commitment to Sis. And I'm not one for the bars - especially since this is the same bar that FM goes to once in a while and I think it would be awkward (at least for me) if he were there. Plus, I'm going to be with Duh this weekend (helping with a dance festival) and she says that I am joining them at the harvest festival or whatever it is in November. So - a haunting I will go! Wonder if Sis has a costume and/or idea for me?

I was craving chocolate cake this afternoon and had almost convinced myself to stop at a Black Angus on the way home ... and then an announcement came over the intercom system: "In honor of Bosses' Day, there is cake in the break room!" What a glorious announcement. It wasn't chocolate, but it was yummy. White cake with stromberry filling and buttercream icing. I still want the chocolate cake from Black Angus, but it satisfied the sweet craving long enough to get me home.

Tonight is SURVIVOR and I really hope the Fang tribe doesn't suck too badly. I'm pretty sure they'll suck, but hopefully not as badly as last week. I mean, let's put some effort into those challenges!

T.G.I. .... um, no

Don't know why, but I kept wanting to write today's date as 10-17 instead of 10-14. The only reason I can think if is that I wanted it to be Friday ... which would be the 17th. Well, two days down, two to go and it'll be Friday.

Met The Kids and FM for dinner at Buffalo Inn tonight. Haven't been there in a long time, which made the tacos taste better than ever. Even the one that split out the entire tortilla and had to be held upside down to eat. Now I wish I had something yummy for dessert. Wonder if there are any cookies left. They'd be stale, but I could microwave 'em for a few seconds and freshen 'em up.

I've just finished listening to the audiobook of "Another Fine Myth" and have started "Myth Conceptions". Very enjoyable - the reader has a good voice for the books. Unfortunately, according to The Boy, he only does the first three books and then a woman takes over. The Boy says the man is much better for the books and he's going to see if he can find another download. Also just finished reading an excellent book, written by a friend of Elder Bro. The book is titled "Unleashed" and is a coming of age/werewolf story. I have ordered the author's first book, "Tripping to Somewhere" from Amazon - it shipped today and will arrive on Thursday. If it is half as good as the "Unleashed", I'm in for a treat!

Santa Ana Winds

Didn't sleep well last night, the wind was blowing like crazy. Of course, it is to be expected where I live but the wind could have waited until after the alarm went off. Driving to work was fun; the part of my drive that goes through the dairies was a tad dusty. And, unfortunately, we have fires. Not near me, fortunately, but the fire fighters have their work cut out for them. One of the guys from our Van Nuys office was evacuated this morning. He says he isn't too concerned; he grabbed his passport, and everything else is "just stuff". All the "important" things are at his sister's and he isn't concerned about what is at his place. Wish I could feel that way; I know it's just stuff but it's MY stuff.

Work was a bit slow today, since there was no mail delivery. This is going to make it tougher to get all the drop shipment invoices processed tomorrow; we won't be able to start entering them until about 9:00 (after the invoices for the check run have been selected) and there will be a bunch of them. But, since it isn't my sole responsibility to get them entered I'm not stressed. That's one of the things I like about this job - there's no real pressure on me to get everything accomplished. Other than what I put on myself, of course.

One of the members of FoRT has a sig line that I like ....
A good way to train in boxing is to cast a shadow of yourself on a wall, and then spar with it, seeing the way your body moves as you punch. This is called shadow boxing. An even better way is to tie a guy up so he can’t move, and just keep hitting him. This is called punching a tied-up guy.

Very Cool Video

Knittering and Crafty Fair

Yesterday was knitting and a craft fair with The Girl and Sis. Started out by meeting The Kids for breakfast at Tommy's and then met Sis at Starbucks. Netta joing us, also - she was actually the one that initiated the knitting "group". Spent a couple of hours there and worked on the little blanket for the Snuggles project. Still not sure if I should continue it as it is (since it is a bit smaller than they recommend) or if I should frog the thing and start over. Don't really want to do that, and I figure this baby blanket would be fine for a chihuahua or other tiny dog. And, if they don't like it (the Project people) they don't have to use it.

Sis is knitting a really cool pair of wrist warmers (kinda like gloves, but they leave the hand free with just a loop that goes over the thumb to hold the warmers in place). She also has a little duck that she was doing the sewing up and stuffing process on. The Girl is knitting a really nice scarf - cabled!! Don't know what Netta was working on - but it was on circular needles.

After a bit of knitting, the three of us drove over to the Fairplex for the Sugarplum Craft Fair. Was a bit upset to discover the cost of parking has gone up $2 since last time I was there - and it was already too much at $10 per vehicle. But admission to the crafties was free, so that kinda made up for it a little bit. Spent another couple of hours walking around and admiring the work others have done. There were a lot of really cute things, and we decided that we really needed to rewalk aisle one to make our purchases. However, when we rewalked the aisle there wasn't anything that really screamed "buy me", so we didn't.

Came home and watched some TV and a dvd of "Double Jeopardy".

Oh - and I forgot to tell Sis - they are having a Halloween chi-li coo-koof at work.

Home Early

A combination of slightly lighter traffic and a slightly heavier right foot got me to work early today, with the nice result of being home by 4:30. Kinda nice ... although I don't know what I'm going to do with "all this extra time". I know what I should do with the time (dusting, vacuuming, tidying up) but I don't see that happening.

I can't believe I haven't blogged anything since Tuesday! And look - you haven't missed anything. Three days and nothing to say. I don't even want to mention Survivor (although I will anyway) because the Fang tribe is just so pathetic. Last night, they did a tribe switch - and the tribe I ended up with isn't any better than the original! The immunity challenge was so amazingly one-sided that the Fang tribe should have just stayed at camp. Needless to say, I need to add another fifty cents in the jar.

And - just a little bragging, go to this website, right here ...
and scroll down a bit!

Feeling Better Tonight

I've been worried about Buster the last couple of days, but I'm "much relieved" this evening. FM had sent a text message on Sunday saying that Bubs was doing pretty poorly and hadn't eaten the day before. Bubs had a couple of hot dogs for breakfast on Sunday, which he ate ok ... he was also having problems with his hind leg. So, after breakfast The Kids and I went to visit. Well, Bubs wasn't putting any weight on his leg at all ... and was so skinny you could see bones. We spent a couple of hours with him and he seemed happy enough and didn't look like he was in pain (other than not putting weight on the leg).

Fast-forward to today --- we took Buster to the vet, and everything seems to be ok. Well, as ok as it could be for a 15 year old dog can be. He was walking better and even looks like he's put on a pound or two. The problem with his leg seems to be caused by the fatty tumor in his thigh. He got a shot and some pills. The vet doesn't feel the need for an operation or anything major, due to Buster's age and the fact that he has a lot of growths - if you operate on one, you should do them all, and nobody needs that much surgery. And as long as they aren't causing Bubs any pain, the vet isn't concerned.

So, after his shot and toenail clipping, Bubs was loaded back into the truck and was taken to McDonalds for a double cheeseburger. Yes, he CAN has cheezburger!

Haiku T-Shirt

Chatted with my brother earlier, and we briefly touched on Haiku. Later he sent me an email - a friend of his found this on a t-shirt ...

Haikus are easy
but sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

Excitement!

What a cool email I received today! Even if nothing comes of it, it was cool to get the request:


Hi There,

I work for the Los Angeles Conservancy and we are putting together our October/November E-News and would like to use a photo you took of Griffith Park in a story about designating the landscape of the park as historic. The link to the photo is below and we would credit the photo to your name if you would like.

Thank you,

The End Of The Weekend

Spent a couple of hours at the house today, visiting with the critters. The Kids were there, too, so it wasn't as lonely. Little Thing kitty was her usual mouthy self. Bubs, however, is getting pretty old. He is having problems with a hind leg (wouldn't even touch it to the ground when standing) and has gotten quite skinny. He seemed pleased with the chili-potatoes that The Boy brought for him, but FM says he (Buster) didn't eat yesterday. If FM gets off work early enough tomorrow he's going to take Bubs to the vet for a checkup. Sure hope he's ok.

Came home and watched some tv (most of "Cheaper By The Dozen, the original), and then watched the dvd of "Finding Neverland". It wasn't quite what I expected but was very good. Wow, that makes three movies in 2 days. If I'm not careful I'll have to buy more!

That's about it for the weekend. Oh - tentative plans with Sis and The Girl for knittering and a crafty fair next Saturday - something for my many fans to read about!

The Dodgers take the division in three!

Movie Day

Met with The Kids for a late breakfast (at Tommy's) and did a little Halloween decoration shopping. I went to a $.99 Only Store, a Big Lots and a Dollar Tree but didn't find much. I *did* get part of my costume for the Pirate Party next September. Now to put it away somewhere that I won't forget ...

Decided to watch a movie - and discovered that I have two copies of "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days". I guess I should either watch them as I buy them so I don't duplicate (I'd remember if I'd seen it) or check my shelf before going to Target. Anyway, it was a fun movie. I love Matthew McConaughey, and Kate Hudson is adorable. Decided to watch another and chose "The Thomas Crown Affair". It, also, was a good movie but I think I liked 10 Days better. Maybe I just like MM better than I like Pierce Brosnan...

Am currently watching the Dodgers beating the Cubs in game three of the playoffs. I know The Boy will be very happy when/if they win tonight (it will clinch the division and send the Dodgers one step closer to the World Series). One of his co-workers, however, will be very upset. Seems he went to a LOT of trouble to get tickets to game four. D'oh! Anyway, it is currently 3-0 in the 7th inning. I know that doesn't necessarily mean the Dodgers will win, but at least they are heading that way.

Had a voice mail from Dad today - apparently FM had mentioned possibly getting together for dinner this weekend. Dad had tried calling FM but didn't get through, so he wanted to check with me to see if I knew anything about it. I called to let Dad know that "I know noth-think" about meeting but got his answering machine. Left a message but didn't hear back. I felt bad for a while, but then figure I've spent 29 years apologizing for FM not being where he said he'd be, or returning calls or whatever, and I'm done with that. If he wants to meet Dad for dinner, HE can take care of the arrangements. I'm out of it!

I think The Kids will be over for a while tomorrow - she wants to see the tape of "Pushing Daisies" from Wednesday and he wants to do laundry. Well, he doesn't necessarily want to, but he needs to, I guess.

Not Much To Say

As usual, I don't really have anything to blog about tonight. Was busy all day at work and didn't even get all the invoices entered. I did stop working on them about 3:30 and spent the last half hour or so working on one of the projects. I was just really tired of doing invoices and wanted a bit of a break. I'm sure nobody will complain (if they even noticed).

Feel really sorry for LM. This whole "open enrollment" deal at work has been a huge pain in the behind for her. The employees were given almost the entire month of September to fill out a couple of forms. There was a reward (extra bingo cards) for the branches that had all the forms completed and turned in by the 17th, and everything had to be completed by the 30th of September. (Bummer - the former astronaut just missed the $1 million question on Fifth Grader. ) Anyway, LM spent most of the past 3 weeks calling employees and reminding them to turn in the paperwork. Even helped them fill out the info (verbally, of course) and gave them info they didn't know. So, two days past the deadline for turning in the insurance stuff and she was still calling people this afternoon and trying to get them to send her the paperwork. Sure hope FM can get the additional Survivor tickets - I think it would make her year!

I'm going to try and get a few Halloween decorations this weekend. Don't want to put up a lot but would like to decorate a little bit, anyway. I'll get some stuff for my little cubby at work, too. Someone put a few things up in the lunchroom today, so I'm sure it'll be ok for me to put stuff up at my desk. And, if it isn't, I'll take 'em back down! At this point, I'm even seriously considering joining Sis and Rafe for their haunted house this year. Since Halloween is on a Friday, I don't have to worry about getting up for work the next day ... I'm not positive at this point, but I'm thinking about it.

We get another episode of Survivor and the Vampires tonight. You know, the Fang tribe - the "suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked", to use Sis' expression. I'm really hoping they can win a challenge tonight. Or at least find the hidden idol if - um, when - one of them is sent to Exile. I'm sure it'll be a good show, regardless. After all, it's Survivor! And I'm crossing my fingers, hoping for a merge tonight .... yeah, I'm a dreamer. Although it may not be quite as fun watching tonight - Sis has apparently lost her cellamaphone. Of course, if Rafe is home she can call me from his phone .... she didn't specify if he'd be home and I don't want to call his number in case he's at work. By the way, LM at work is properly jealous regarding the memorabilia that Sis and I have :-).

Other than that, just another day in paradise. Entered a whole bunch of invoices at work today (as opposed to yesterday and Tuesday, in which there weren't a lot of invoices to enter) and have two projects to work on. Oughtta keep me busy tomorrow.

Today's picture was yoinked from an email Sis sent to me. Yes, I do a lot of yoinking; what's your point?
