**A cute little story.  =)

Hearing Their Side

**This is something that should have been done years ago.

If you didn’t watch the Cowboys & the Bills, you missed a hell of a game and the Bills about pulled it off.  Their defense and special teams was doing what their offense wasn’t.  We so wanted to see the Bills win this one.

Semi-Productive Day

I rolled out of bed about an hour later then I wanted to. But I felt much better then the day before….sleepwise anyway. I was not feeling too good woman wise…….in fact, later in the afternoon I hurt more then I ever had………but I got through it in the morning. So it took me a little longer to get going, but I went for a walk around the neighborhood.

I thought it would be cool out, but it was actually very nice, even with the overcast. I was able to walk a lot more then I thought I would. I didn’t know if my feet would be able to handle it, but they just need to stretch out from the night’s sleep, which left them stiff. We have some really nice houses in the neighborhood, it is a mixed neighborhood with rentals and private owned houses.. …….a very goo blend.

I was really enjoying the vegetation. I took a few pictures of the changing leaves, felt kind of weird taking picture of the neighbors’ landscaping……..may think I’m casing them or something. =)

One of the streets in our area. I love all that soft grass.
When I got done walking I attacked the litters and vacuumed the house. So I was able to keep active and get some more exercise. By the time I was done, it was early afternoon, but it was time for a very needed shower, before I had to start the laundry mess we had…….
I had gotten all the clothes done from Friday night, they were so nasty with smoke smell. Honestly, some times I won’t go out because of that stuff……yuck. So we thought we got all of it, but sometimes we were getting a whiff of some…..found that it was the bunch of ones we had. My loving husband tells me that I can have those……yuck…..well, money can be washed just like clothes, but those were already going. A hand washing was called for if I was going to get rid of that horrible smell. For the afternoon I became a money launderer…………..LOL

When I got done with all that and lunch, I just got some online work done while taking breaks to watch some football games. The Saints lost. =( The Colts won, but didn’t get to watch that one. =( And the game that was tough to know who to cheer for was Da Bears and The Packers. I’m raised a Bears fan, but I love the history of the Packers, the sportsmanship of Favre, the record they were having this year and I feel that they are true American Team. No other team in the NFL is owned by the public, which is really cool. But the with being a Bears fan and seeing their W/L this year…….I had to cheer for them. So I was pleased that they won, but felt bad for the Favre and the Packers.
I should have gotten more done today, but was still pretty productive on other things. I know we want to get some errands done tomorrow……….I so hope they don’t take long, I hate that.

Another Day

Last night we headed over to a local bar in Portland for a party.  It was one of those things that we just heard about that afternoon.  Even though I really didn’t want to go anywhere, we needed to get out and have some fun.

This local bar has some really good food for a great price.  We love the steak dinners that they have.

When we go out we take turns on who will be drinking and who will be driving.  Last night it was my turn, I haven’t done that in a few years.  I keep my head and made sure to drink a lot of water with my drinks, get food in, and slow down when needed.  So I had fun without over doing it.

Took a bit to get started this morning.  Just tired…….doesn’t help that I couldn’t breathe……..makes me feel exhausted when I’m not.

Today was disappointing……..Purdue left their offense game behind.  Our defense did good, when they finally got their stride, 17 points too late……….grgggrr

We didn’t expect to win, but we expected a hell lot better showing from our team offensively.

I do hope that OSU goes on to the national title, if it can’t be Purdue; we want it to be a Big Ten school.

We are watching Fight Club, I have never seen it and this is really weird and nothing like I have ever seen.  I knew the author of this book wrote some different things……..but this is a little wackier then I thought.

Silly Stuff

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when…

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12 You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list.

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to

Not The Most Productive Day =(

Today was pretty much a bust……..didn’t help that I didn’t sleep worth a damn last night……discovered later it was because we had the heat on…..ggggrrrr

We got up to head over to a costume shop because we have a Halloween party that we are attending and we would really like some cool costumes for it. Well, they were closed……..who the hell is closed on a Wed? I can see Sundays….maybe Monday or Tuesday……..but Wednesday? We can’t put it off any longer or we won’t have a decent one, so instead of staying home……guess what we have to do tomorrow……ggggrrrr

Then we got ourselves a PO Box for our businesses, on to lunch, and then finally grocery shopping……….we left by 10:30/11 and didn’t get home until about 3……..that is a lot of time just driving…..icks. By this time I had hit a brick wall…..so I laid down for about 30-45, felt better.

So I started to get some work done…….but was getting piss because in the middle of taking care of stuff we lose connection! I logged the times and for how long, we have a tech coming over tomorrow………hopefully this will work, that really has been the biggest issue the last few days. I got so pissed that I broke out my sprint card just to get what I could done.

The only good thing about starting early tomorrow is that we need to be home by noon for the internet guy. I so hope it doesn’t take long……this is really starting to piss me off………I can’t focus in bits and pieces. Now,I just want to work for the next few hours…..but with having to get up early in the AM that wouldn’t be happening.

Well, I know what I’m doing while watching my football this weekend.
