Last Few Days

Posted on Saturday February 18th, 2006 by | Comments Off on Last Few Days

I hope everyone had a good Valentines day. I had to work early that day. Harold had roses, adobable teddy bears and a card waiting for me. The roses were a beautiful rainbow color assortment, with yellows, pinks, reds, and purples.

He had a great dinner ready for me when I got home and then we spent some quality time together.

Wednesday was an extremely long day. I had some huge projects to get done this week at work. So I went in early that day and ended up working a 12hr day. Since I had Thrusday off, I had really wanted to get as much done as possible. We got much more done then I thought we would. In fact we finished it up today. =) Considering how short handed we have been, I’m pretty damn proud of us.

Harold had picked up Aurora’s ashes. He had them on my desk waiting for me when I got home late Wednesday night. I lost it when I opened the card with her name on it. But I finally have a sense of closure with having her home. I have been cuddling with Aurora’s old towel, but since I have her ashes I’m not squeezing on to it as hard as I use to.

I have her tin of ashes on my desk, with her clay paw print and her collar in it. And I found that our new printer does very well with pictures, cuz I have her picture about my desk and I can look at it without crying.

I got my nails done Thursday and piddled around the house for my day off. I think after all the stress of trying to get things done at work, I just wanted to vegated. I’m looking forward to my next 2 days off…….Wednesday & Thursday. I really need to start in on the taxes, but I really don’t feel like doing them.

I have to get ready for bed, I have to be @ work by 6am for the next 2 days.

Good News!!! maybe….

Posted on Thursday February 16th, 2006 by | Comments Off on Good News!!! maybe….

Also some good news on the Boilermaker’s home front, Jim Cheney the offensive coordinator for the past 9 years has left Purdue and joined the St Louis Rams as Off Line Coach. He has been the top of my shit list since he came to Purdue. So many times we have a so called “high power offense” and he calls weak conservative plays over and over. Short pass right, short pass right, run up the middle, punt, and repeat at the next set of downs, reminds me of the dark days of Jim Colleto’s 6 years where we played to tie, since going for a win is too costly and you may lose.

I can not begin to express the outrage of going to a game and watching the fastest WR in the Big Ten run 5 yards and stop over and over when he can out run the DB’s for the end zone if just once they had thrown it long. I know they can’t do this every play, but at least once a game would be nice and I’m not saying he is the only reason our team has sucked for the last 3 years, but he’s high on the list.

The new Offensive Coordinator at St Louis is Greg Olson, he was with Purdue for 5 years I think and left for the 49ers, but he was married to the Purdue’s woman’s track coach and she stayed at Purdue and after a year he asked Tiller to come back to Purdue and Tiller agreed, then after the next season he left Purdue unexpectedly for the Chicago Bears after telling Tiller he was at Purdue for the long haul, Tiller the calm cool guy he is, banned Olson from the entire Purdue campus and refuses to deal with him again.

When they announced Cheney was leaving, Tiller was in Ft Myers FL playing golf and the Defensive Coordinator Brock Spack said he had not yet spoken to Tiller so he has no idea who will replace Cheney, so it sounded like to me that this was totally unexpected, but I think it’s a great move, until they promoted Legg who was a offensive Coordinator at West Virginia for 2 years and VT for a year, so I am wondering how good he could be if he last only one year at VT and took a job as Off Line coach at Purdue?

Ok, everyone filled in on Purdue football now?

Cold Monday Morning

Posted on Monday February 13th, 2006 by | Comments Off on Cold Monday Morning

Pretty damn cold here, it is currently 35F and it feels it. I turned the heat on last night for the first time in a year, I didn’t want to turn it on, but I am just sick of feeling chilled/cold. I figure we have at least 3-4 more weeks before it starts to warm up and it should be “hot” by May.

Not much going on today, I had a unexpected project to do that they had known about for a week before they told me and I had 3 days to do it, so that ticked me off some.

So the mighty hunter and NRA member Cheney shoots another hunter, can it get any worse for a hunter? There’s never an excuse for that, total incompetence and the NRA knows that so that is a nice slap in their face to have someone they have honored shoot another. Well, shoot another on accident, had it been on purpose he would have gotten another award I think. LOL, just saw on CNN as I wrote this that the ranch owners where it happen is saying “It happens” and spinning it like this is a normal thing and no big deal and that she also has BB’s in her leg. PUH-LEASE!!!!

News is saying the North East had over 30” of snow in places. YUCK! And that is what is causing it to be cold as shit here as well the damn nor’easter winds! DAMN YOU OLD MAN WINTER! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

I just mailed off my package, it never fails when you pull into a parking lot and you see some guy going into the package place you are going to go into carrying a huge amount of packages, so it took 10 minutes longer then it should have, and he was a heavy chain smoker so I got the pleasure of smelling him the entire time.

But the good news is the city finally took away all the brush we had stacked up in our yard from last Monday so I once again have a brush free view of my front yard.

Not much else to report on…

***Forwarded by Jackie =)

At 85 years of age, Wally married Lou Anne, a lovely 25-year-old. Since her new husband is so old, Lou Anne decides that after their wedding she and Wally should have separate bedrooms, because she is concerned that her new but aged husband may overexert himself if they spend the entire night together.

After the wedding festivities Lou Anne prepares herself for bed and the expected “knock” on the door. Sure enough the knock comes, the door opens and there is Wally, her 85-year-old groom, ready for action. They unite as one. All goes well, Wally takes leave of his bride, and she prepares to go to sleep.

After a few minutes, Lou Anne hears another knock on her bedroom door, and it’s Wally. Again he is ready for more “action”. Somewhat surprised, Lou Anne consents for more coupling. When the newlyweds are done, Wally kisses his bride, bids her a fond goodnight and leaves.

She is set to go to sleep again, but, aha you guessed it – Wally is back again, rapping on the door, and is as fresh as a 25-year-old, ready for more “action”. And, once again they enjoy each other. As Wally gets set to leave, his young bride says to him, “I am thoroughly impressed that at your age you can perform so well and so often. I have been with guys less than a third of your age who were only good once. You are truly a great lover.”

Wally, somewhat embarrassed, turns to Lou Anne and says, “You mean I was here already?”

The moral of the story: Senior moments have their advantages.
