February 14th..be there!

2010-02-02T20:20:00.004-05:00

Okay, YOU don't have to 'be there', but I will! Yeah, I'm going to sign up for this race tomorrow; why not? No, I haven't run 5 miles before, but that doesn't mean that I CAN'T- I just have never attempted it before, is all. So sign up, I will, and aside from all of the obvious benefits of running five miles, maybe the best will be a rare Sunday off for me!

Like It or Hate It,,,,,

2009-11-03T20:35:00.000-05:00

I tell you,
I Love You
Is it to let,
You know
Or convince
Myself
That it’s all the same
The sugar-coated pain
Is hard,
To deny.
‘cause would you
Even ,
miss me?
If I wasn’t,
Around?
Used to think,
I knew
The answer
But your eyes,
No longer,
Convincing
And I just,
Can’t shake
The deep down pull
That leaves,
Me
Cold
And I just,
Want you back.

Today's C25K Workout

2009-10-12T18:46:00.003-04:00

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:

Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

Sooo proud of myself! I just need to remember to breathe; still finding myself holding my breathe, but by the middle of my first five minute run, I concentrated on it more, and got it down.
Especially psyched for my 5K on Saturday; get to where the above shirt in honor of my friend's Mom who passed away from cancer. She was quite a gal, and believe me, it is truly an honor to proudly' wear ' her name, and I plan to wear this shirt for every race 'til I wear it out!

"There's no one there I really wanted to talk to".....

Jim Croce- Operator

Operator, oh could you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's livin' in L.A.
With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
***That it just wasn't real***
But that's not the way it feels

Operator, oh could you help me place this call
'Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eye's
You know it happens every time
I think about the love that I thought would save me

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

No no no no
Thats not the way it feels
Operator oh let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Oh you've been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime

Isn't that the way they say it goes
But let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow
I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels

~ how ...laughable to name your band 'Whitesnake' after your supposedly supersized dick?? When will some of you guys learn, it's not so much how big or long your thing is, it's what you can do with it. *sheesh*
~ my extreme opposition of anything Barry Obama has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with his race. Do you understand that?? I despise him because he is an unworthy, unqualified communist. Stop using the race card, damnit, and stop insulting my intelligence.
~ remember when radio stations would bleep out the 'pain in the ass' line from Blondie's Heart of Glass, and when Steve Miller sang 'funky shit' from Big Ole Jetairliner?

AHHHH.....

for this one..... http://www.kaylasbeatgoeson.org/kb/participants/participantpage.asp?fundid=226&uid=360&role=5

just proudly announcing that I will be participating in this one on the 17th, and while I, of course, plan on walking the 3.5 miles, (seeing as it is a walk, duh) I also plan to run as much of it that I can, as well. While this is not my first 5k( I did the Brockton Hospital Champions Cancer Walk in 2001) this is my first serious 5K. I am training to hopefully be able to run a 5K in about 4 months, so this is like a.....warm up, if you will, for me. And it won't be last last or only. I am keeping it as local as possible from now on, and am really psyched for this, and for the progress I am continuing to make.
Yay me!! *prodigiously patting meself on the back*

Where oh Where would we be without AlGore??

2009-09-25T05:50:00.006-04:00

Well, there'd be a lot less to goof on, that's for sure....

Mr. Gore(who's picture I refuse to post due to obvious reasons), that inventor of the internet and subject of that epitome of shmaltz, Love Story, is now going to save the planet with his latest invention, The Karma(sp), a plug -in car.
Will it eerily resemble this ------->???

Hey, Al?? Want to really do something to conserve energy and preserve the planet? Why not downsize where you live, and cut YOUR home energy costs? And will Al and the Tipster be tooling around town in a Karma? Bet their ride of choice is something resembling the Escalade shown above, which while is a hybrid, is still a dreaded SUV.

Keep the fodder comin', Al Baby.

This Woman is my inspiration....

are to be awarded to McDonald's for getting the lexicon of my New England dead-on correct( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFbxpWFs2jA), but why-oh-why is it so damn hard to get the accent down right?? I realize that the fact that it varies from New England state to NewEngland state, even from county to county makes a perfect translation a bitch, but sheesh, in this ad, the guys sound like a cross between and Aussie and a Scotsman!
Close, McD's, but no cigar(sounds like cig-ah).

Comments?

2009-09-22T18:31:00.004-04:00

I have been at this blogging business for 4 years now, and while the comments have been there, they are sporadic at best. It leads me to wonder if
anyone is reading this?
does anyone care?
I understand that my posting of songs is not exactly rave-worthy, but those songs are part of the wacky fabric that is me; hence, why I share them.
Regardless of whether my blog is liked or not, I will soldier on, because as I have stated before, it is my outlet, my grip on sanity, if you will. There is nothing like an enema for the brain.
But that being said, seeing as I am of the human varietal , and humans naturally crave... attention(?) ,feedback of the positive and negative kind would be most appreciated.
Just sayin. And if you choose to remain silent... then that's cool as well. I will just assume that my pithy posts(ha!!) are being consumed.

Oh, and?

Reasons why I am glad that it is officially autumn...

2009-09-22T17:30:00.003-04:00

please, ladies, for the love of all that is just and decent in this world..STOP DRESSING LIKE THIS!!!!!! AAARRRGGHHHH, there is nothing worse than seeing a walking bakery stuffed into clothing that is meant for someone who is smaller! STOP IT! Dress for your size! And face it- if you are anything over a size 18, then your clothing choices just hopped off of the cool train and landed on Blah Street. As unfair as that may seem, it's a necessary truth. All of those rolls and bulges look a bazillion times worse than they already do when crammed into a spandex top , or a pair of hip huggers.
Please, accentuate your positives! DO NOT ACCENTUATE THE NEGATIVES!!!
You don't look sexy. You don't kicky, you don't look younger.
You look foolish.
You look pathetic.

If you want to wear clothes that are sexy , stylish, etc then hey, why not try to lose some of that unhealthy poundage? I mean, think about it; plus sized clothing is .... ugly. It has to be, because of all of the excess material needed to create each piece. I have lived the plus-sized ugly dream, and trust me; a kick ass sweaty 45 minute 3 mile walk is so worth being able to dress as I WANT to, not as I HAVE to.
Think about that.

*there. I feel so much better.*

Love what the Good Lord gave ya....

Oral Satisfaction...

2009-09-21T16:45:00.006-04:00

can be found in a bottle of Wachusett Blueberry Ale. One right after work just hits the spot. May or may not have another later; I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
~ can 'The One' fall from the sky? Or can she/he be right in front of you the whole time without you even knowing it? Do you believe either of these statements? Do I ? Yeah, I guess I do; I'll let you know when/if it happens.
~ so I was told today that after I lose another 41 pounds(yes, I am down 41!!) that I'll be 'hot' and feel soooooooooooooo much better. I THINK it was meant as a compliment, but I was thinking "Ummmm....thanks? So, am I that horrendous now? And why do I have to wait to feel better; I already do!"I guess it was one of those scenarios where the person MEANT well, but it came out so wrong. I'm not letting it deter me- it just took me aback a bit. Honestly, I feel fabdabulous, and like I say: if you don't like the way I look, if it isn't pleasing to you, then look somewhere else. Break my heart. NOT.
~today is my W1D1 of the Couch to 5K Running Plan(go here http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/C25Kplan?ref=nf to check it out). Did I like it? Nope. I LOVED IT! I just have to find a comfortable jogging pace; I am trying to run/jog too fast, which I guess is a common mistake with neophyte runners, but I think I found a very doable pace towards the end of today's workout.
~to expound on the aforementioned, I am getting into taking better care of myself. My stamina had increased so much since I have lost weight and started working out regularly; all/most of my clothes are now wayyyy too big or getting there, the 'small' of my back is...smaller(!) , more defined, and it really is cool to see everything 'lift' back to where nature intended as one loses weight and firms up. And that dreaded demon of women everywhere, the 'Muffin Top' ? I am so kicking his sorry ass out my door!

yeah, I've had my feelings hurt, but I am so getting over this...
on another note, I am really, really getting into my training walk/jogs. Find myself looking forward to them at work. Am liking the way my legs ache after two miles, and am not minding the sweat anymore at all.
Am I becoming one of them???
*yes!!!*

did not want to be Patty Smythe in the video to the following song?? She was so cool in her red dress and matching hose...( I was known to wear red -on-red myself, back in the day, with bitchin' FMP's as well). And this song ROCKS, and it's excellent to jog to.....plus I just feel sassy singing along to it!

Scandal- Goodbye to You
Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Goodbye baby
So long darling
Goodbye to you

While I do not agree with the portraying of Barry as Hitler( pull up the story about Barney's Town Hall meeting last night) I do respect the RIGHT of the woman who was holding the picture at the meeting to do so. And Barney?? Where was your outrage when Bush was portrayed as Hitler??? Or when he was labeled a murderer, a war mongerer, dunce, cowboy, or any of the other vile, despicable names that you and your moonbat friends on the looney radical left stuck on him?
Stop being such a hypocrite. And give up the sanctimonious stance you posture when confronted with the TRUTH.....you make a bigger ass of yourself when you do so, IF that is truly possible.

~ I can whistle through a blade of grass- can you? And by the by, the grass pictured at right is the perfect grass for whistling.

~ I went the whole day without eating a potato chip! I love chips, so this is huge for me!

~ Should I do my walk/jog in the very early a.m., or after work? Is early morning better?

~ Can I actually get my butt out the door at 4:30 a.m. to do the above??

~ not only can I touch my toes, I can palm the floor without bending my knees.

~ I know that this may be a dumb question, but where on earth did Barry O. find Robert Gibbs??? That man is as clueless as Barry; w ait, just answered me own question. Nevermind!

I sooooooo wanted that bitchin' hat and bag when I was a wee girl! LOVE this song- can this woman belt out a song like no-one else, or what?

(carly simon)
You're So Vain

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that theyd be your partner
Theyd be your partner, and...

Youre so vain, you probably think this song is about you
Youre so vain, Ill bet you think this song is about you
Dont you? dont you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...

I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
Well I hear you went up to saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to nova scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well youre where you should be all the time
And when youre not youre with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and...
(chorus)

A little ska for your afternoon pleasure...

2009-08-09T17:01:00.003-04:00

Love the way Dave Wakeling and Andy Williams' vocals meld on the chorus....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qErykBldZCs

Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find a crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you

Chorus:
I can't get used to losing you
No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

(Chorus)

(Saxaphone solo)

(Chorus)

I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kidding, only me
Cuz no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case

~ how fucking stupid is Ted Kennedy to have named his dog ' Splash'???(actually, that was the ultimate rhetorical question)
~ aren't you comforted in the knowledge that Michelle Obama shops at Talbot's, just like us real people? I know that I'll sleep better tonight....
~ what is the relevance in the fact that Billy Mays may have done coke? There is none; he is, unfortunately for his loved ones, still dead, and this 'news' won't bring him back to life, so what can this fact possibly matter???!!
~ I love Charles Krauthammer; I do not agree with alot of what makes up his ideology, but but he is entertaining, in a wicked brain bending sorta way.

This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home

2009-07-29T06:07:00.004-04:00

That is all that Barry can spare for this' historic' meeting of the mindless (this applies to Skippy and Barry only)? What can possibly be hashed out in 30 -45 minutes? I don't even know why Crowley is doing this; I mean, I DO, but he is the one who is owed an apology, he is the one who's good name was completely denigrated by not only the Skipster and Screw 'em all Deval, but by none other than the President himself(!!!!)....Considering that this non-story has been front and center for how long now, mainly due to Obama's unnecessary inclusion to it , I would think that Barry could spare some more time ; but I guess he'll be too busy devising more ways that he can totally destroy this wonderful country of ours....

Oh, and RE: Cadillac Deval- just how many times were you 'profiled' at Milton Academy??? And just how DID you find your way to Milton in the first place?? Hmmm.......

Amy

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think, or let you see one thing for yourself
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own

Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
And can you see
Which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see whats right or what is wrong
(will it take too long to see)

Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

(Acoustic solo)

Well now
Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see
That I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer
Longer if I do

Yeah now
Amy what you wanna do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Fallin' in and out of love with you
Fallin' in and out of love
with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do, I'd keep
Fallin' in and out of love
With you

In the following, I used to think that Kim Carnes sang, "She'll adhese you, just to please you, haul the bathtub just to please you" WTF was I thinking???? Anyways, here's the real deal...
Bette Davis Eyes- Kim Carnes 1981

Her hair is Harlow gold,
Her lips sweet surprise
Her hands are never cold
She's got Bette Davis eyes
She'll turn her music on
You won't have to think twice
She's pure as New York snow
She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
She got Greta Garbo Stand off sighs,
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She got Bette Davis eyes
She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
And she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys Think she's a spy,
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
All the better just to please you
She's precocious
And she knows just what it
Takes to make a pro blush
All the boys Think she's a spy,
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you

Can you imagine...

going to your doctor and asking for a prescription for 'Pristiq' , and hey, why not (if you're female, of course)ask for a prescription for 'Yaz!' to help with your PMMD, or whatever the latest female ailment is?? Cripe, who in the hell THINKS of these names?? Pristiq, for depression?? WTF is a Pristiq? WTF is it supposed to mean?! And Yaz? Is that supposed to somehow make a middle-ager like myself seem cooler because I am treating my monthly nasties with a prescription that has a young, fresh, kicky sounding name? Maybe I should start wearing glittery eyeshadow too, hmm?
*DISCLAIMER*
There is no particular reason for the above rant, and NO, I am not in need of a double dose of Yaz!.... I was just watching FoxNews and that wacked out commercial for Pristiq came on, and it got me to thinking, is all. If you have somehow missed this fine example of advertising genius, click on the link below, and convince me that the wind-up doll in the ad does not evoke memories of some old Twilight Zone episodes. G'won, I dare ya.....

This is from an email I received from Bank of America.....or should I say a bad facsimile of. Why so suspicious, you ask? Well, my guard shot up immediately as I have never banked with Bank of America(and never will), and we have all heard of these scam emails, haven't we? You know, the ones that say falsities as this one does, in the hopes that some poor shlub, either do to innocent ignorance or just flat out stupidity, will click on the link and BAM-O! their computer and perhaps much much more is compromised. Sick bastards, the r-tards that pull shit like this. Along with the unadulterated anger that I feel towards them, I guess that pity should be employed as well, seeing as these LOSERS have such pathetic, vacuous lives that they need to prey on innocent people.

Oh, and the errors? I have taken the liberty to highlight them, though I trust that there is no need for explanation, as they speak for themselves. Guards up!!

Confessions.......

2009-07-19T16:36:00.007-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx_04GrOjrs

~ I LOVE the movie Grease( the original, not that gay-ass Grease II-ick!!) especially the number 'Greased Lightning'. Yeah, they were all in their thirties when they made it, which made them all light years away from high schoolers, but who cares?? It's a terrific movie, with a bitchin' soundtrack to boot. No apologies here!
~ I still cross my fingers, you know, for good luck, or to help hasten the process of something postitive happening .....bet some of you do, too. ;)
~ When my kids were just wee ones, I got into the habit of leaving the light that sits on the other side of the bed on, so that if they needed me in the middle of the night, their way would be well lit. I, to this day, still need that light on- I swear, I don't sleep nearly as deeply if the light is off! The kids...HA!!! they are well passed the age of needing a well lit path to Mom in the dark hours.
~ why I lower my IQ to pay attention to this drivel, IDK....but I am finding myself feeling sorry for Kate, you know, Kate of the John and Kate plus Eight Kate fame? I mean, I know marriages/relationships fall apart, and I know that she must be one difficult person to cohabitate with, but sheesh! it's to bad that John never learned the meaning of decorum, and tact.....I mean, come on, no matter how.... awful she was/is, whatever, those kids are THEIR kids, and why the hell isn't he there more sharing in the parental duties??? And we're not talking one or two kids, we're looking at eight count 'em eight to raise, discipline, love, nurture, teach.....( I will leave out the clothe and feed bit because I am sure that the family is not hurting cash wise, for now at least). Hey, if he wants to get a bachelor pad and play hide the winkie with every co-ed that comes his way, hey, more power to him, but be discreet, will ya, John??? What kind of example is he providing to his children, especially the males of the equation?? SHEESH!!!
~ I carry a pocket sized booklet version of the Constitution with me in my bag.Does that make me a geek? If so, then... GOOD
~ I am politically incorrect alot of the time, though I never set out to hurt anyone, and reign in my acerbic tongue to avoid doing just that.
~ I do swear at inanimate objects under my breath... What's that? You've never heard of Yoplait Fucking Yogurt before??? It's located right next to the regular Yoplait yogurt; it just engages in lewd and lascivious behavior when it won't stack properly for me, and falls all over the place.
~ which leads me to the following... yes, I let stupid , inconsequential things annoy me. I'm not proud of that fact but whatever.

Remember those styles shoes...

2009-07-19T16:27:00.002-04:00

PLEASE stop leaving these lying on supermarket shelves! You are wasting your time, as I throw them away. I know, I know, you mean well, but if I left every flippin' coupon lying about, my dairy would look like a humongous wastebasket, so please STOP IT!!!
Thank you.

On another note, my friend's Mom is doing much , much better- yay!! That was welcome news today, indeed!

My next day off is next Saturday( needed it off for a wedding)..man, that seems soooooooooo far off, even though I know it's only seven days. Is it next Saturday yet?Is it next Saturday yet?Is it next Saturday yet? ;)

A Fabdabulously Great!!!....

2009-07-15T16:32:00.001-04:00

day off was had by me! And no self-deprecation here- I deserved it, damnit!
**yes**

My favorite pair of Levi's cutoffs....

~ saw a financial planner last night, and am feeling a bit better about my situation. Feeling more focused, more directed. Still keep those fingers crossed though, okay?
~ if you will, send prayers/good vibes/good thoughts out to my friend's Mom? She is in the hospital with breathing problems, and obviously, my friend is pretty worried....thanks!
~ Edward is taking me to Millie's Lunch for breakfast, a belated birthday present. Looking forward to a good diner-like breakfast!

and Heeeeeere's Christy!

~ do you ever wish to be 'rich and famous' like the celebrities( remember when they were called movie stars?) in the fanzines found at stupidmarket checkouts at a store near you? Hell, no!! Having my every move, every bump and blemish scrutinized and chronicled?!? Uh, no thanks; I'll keep my own little slice of contended relative obscurity( as far as the big pic is concerned) thank you.
~ 100 calorie paks- you know, the Hostess ones(Twinkies are forever and always my favorite!) are a Godsend!! And I have enough discipline now to be able to stop at one pack- the perfect sweet tooth fix!
~ do you prefer sweet or salty? Me- give me the salt. I am not a chocolate fan like so many other women, but do love it when it's covering a salty pretzel.
~ silence so often speaks volumes.
~ I have Never Say Never by Romeo Void running through my head.. beats having Rupert Holmes traipsing through my brain anyday!!( I won't mention the song, 'cause then we'll all be stuck with it!)
~ the Yankees still suck.
~ do you feel your age? Older? Younger? Does that go day to day? I , for the most part, still feel like I am 20-23. Some days when the stress is high, I can feel about 65, but I guess that stress thing holds true for most, yes?
~ Christy Mihos( I do love the guy) or Charlie Baker for Guv in 2010? I need to research Mr. Baker, but just from listening to him on various talk shows, he is intriguing, and obviosuly very bright. Let's jsut hope that the fine people of Taxachusetts shut off the damn auto pilot and vote with a fresh brain next year! The way we vote( can you say Kennedy and Kerry??) it must be hard for the rest of the country to believe that we are descended from the greats that kicked British butt so very long ago.

There is a small glimmer of hope...

2009-07-11T18:16:00.001-04:00

Keep your collective fingers crossed for me?? Much thanks!

So Random it Hurts.....

2009-07-10T21:01:00.004-04:00

~ ever feel like you have so much swimming 'round in your head, but you just can't articulate any of it, and you know that you'd feel so much better if you could?? Damnit. Sometimes if I listen to a certain song overandoverandoverandover, it triggers my thought process, then the mush that passes as thoughts become words, and though anyone else reading my 'stuff' may not truly 'get it', I will eventually feel unburdened, if not a bit better. Just that getting to that end point is damn painful sometimes.
~ amazing how it is that you can listen to a song, say, for years, but can somehow pick up different nuances every now and then, whether it be due to something as basic as a new pair of headphones, or just a different door to your brain opening up and allowing a different cognition to take over.
~ do you allow yourself a good cry if the feeling overtakes you, or do you fight it? (provided of course, you aren't like in public or any other compromsing situation) Yes. Fuck it. I mean, there must be a reason why we were given the ability to feel emotion and act on it, so why suppress it if you don't really need to? Besides, to let all of the anger/sadness/whatever out is a much needed catharsis.
~ I'm not going grey, I am going white.......not stressing about it, I mean, hey, at least I'll finally be a platinum blonde!(sortakindanotreally lolol)

Other Side of the World K.T. Tunstall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jpYwsfC3ZY

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
To me.

Ahhhh, skinny ties.....

2009-07-08T08:35:00.003-04:00

I woke up this morning craving one of these: mainly due to the fact that I consumed a sixer of Wachusett Blueberry Ale last night, and I honestly believe that the body craves something....greasy and substantial the morning after to help soak up any remaining alcohol that's swimming around in the system.
Anyways, I didn't want to spend money I don't have on a DD sandwich, and I didn't want to blow about 11 points on a substantial, but not-really-good-for-me breakfast, so I made my own, and it was GOOD!
Just spray a fry pan with cooking spray, fry one x-lg egg, top with 2 small slices bacon and 1 slice white american cheese, and put on a Weight Watchers whole wheat bun with a dab of ketchup. Total Points= 8, I am satisfyingly full, and seeing as I cooked it sans grease, I don't have that lead ball feeling in the pit of my stomach. YAY!
NOW I am ready for my walk( and yes, I have my water with me ;) )

Sheesh, where was MY mind today??

2009-07-06T18:11:00.004-04:00

Not on work(!), and it didn't help matters when a certain oh-so-gorgeous delivery guy( whose company shall remain anonymous)made his weekly stop(sigh)....
I know, I'm bad, but hey, there is no harm in looking, yes??
Anyways, heard this on the way home- how apropo!

I Touch Myself - The DiVinyls

I love

myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me

I dont want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I dont want anybody else oh no, oh no, oh no

Youre the one who makes me come running
Youre the sun who makes me shine
When youre around Im always laughing
I want to make you mine

I close my eyes and see you before me
Think I would die if you were to ignore me
A fool could see just how much I adore you
I get down on my knees I do anything for you

I dont want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I dont want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

I want you I dont want anybody else
And when I think about you I touch myself
Ooh, ooh, oo, oo ahh

I dont want anybody else when I think about you
I touch myself ooh I dont want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no

xtc-senses working overtime

Hey, hey,
The clouds are whey.
Theres straw for the donkeys,
And the innocents can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.

My, my,
Sun is pie.
Theres fodder for the cannons,
And the guilty ones can all sleep safely,
All sleep safely.

And all the world is football-shaped
Its just for me to kick in space
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste
And Ive got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in.
Ive got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure
And the church bells softly chime.

Hey hey,
Night fights day.
Theres food for the thinkers,
And the innocents can all live slowly,
All live slowly.
My, my,
The sky will cry
Jewels for the thirsty,
And the guilty ones can all die slowly ,
All die slowly.

And all the world is biscuit-shaped,
Its just for me to feed my face,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And Ive got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in.
Ive got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference,
tween a lemon and a lime,
Pain and the pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime,

And birds might fall from black skies,
And bullies might give you black eyes,
But to me its very, very beautiful

(englands glory!)
Beautiful
(a striking beauty!)

And all the world is football-shaped,
Its just for me to kick in space,
And I can see, hear, smell, touch, taste,
And Ive got one, two, three, four, five,
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
Ive got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to tell the difference
tween the goods and grime
Turds and treasure
And theres one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to take this all in
Ive got one, two, three, four, five
Senses working overtime
Trying to taste the difference
tween a lemon and a lime
Pain and the pleasure,
And the church bells softly chime

Happy Independence Day! Is this the BEST country in the world, bar none, or WHAT??? No matter what goes on to piss me off, regardless of who is residing in the Oval Office, I LOVE this country and will defend it no matter what. I am so proud of the fact that we ( so far, at least!) are not a Europe-Lite, that , despite how frustrating it can be at times, we unflinchingly help anyone in need, no questions asked....
I will forego the negative diatribe for now, and spare you all that tangent, and will finish by saying God Bless America.

Save A Prayer- Duran Duran

You saw me standing by the wall,
Corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun,
So you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into your well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after,
Save it till the morning after

Pretty looking road,
Try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise,
Melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand
But we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after
Save it 'til the morning after

Save a prayer 'til the morning after

Madoff Got 150 years!!!!

2009-06-29T19:10:00.002-04:00

Thank God..... and I so hope that the many who lost everything receive restitution, but the cynic in me.....thinks otherwise. I hope I am wrong. I mean, I can't imagine losing my entire life savings, and if that wasn't horrible enough, having to listen to Madoff issue an *apology* in court, listening to Madoff go on about how he is tormented by what he did, how he didn't mean to hurt anyone?? AARRGGHHH!!!! At least we can take solace in knowing that Bernie should be making lots of new *friends* in the very near future, if you know what I mean.

If I....

2009-06-29T19:00:00.003-04:00

seem overly sensitive, or edgy, or if I make snarky-like jokes/remarks, please don't take it personally, and also please accept my apology in advance. I have alot on my mind(nothing of the personal nature), mainly money, housing, etc and I am trying to not react to things that have not and may never happen, and it's....just very stressful. So again, if I seem more moody than usual, *patience, grasshopper* - just bear with me, please?
Many thanks!

I wrote this poem, my first, at the wee age of nine. My school principal, Mrs. Benner( God rest her soul, she was an amazing person) submitted it to HighLights magazine where it was published, so hmmmm, does that make me a published author? teehee just kidding!
Anyways, here it is, and upon reading you will see where the seeds of my overactive.....imagination?brain? were sown! ;)

Love

Love
is like a flower
it lives, but yet it dies
Love
can be so happy
but yet, it sometimes cries
Love
is like a glass of wine
you drink it,
then it's gone
Love
can be very sad
or like a happy song.
Christine 1973

So....

2009-06-27T20:08:00.003-04:00

I'm at work today in (name and address witheld) supermarket, in my dairy, putting up some shredded cheese, and a woman comes over and says the following, no lie..."I am looking for the long big one." She was dead serious, and she stood there waiting for me to tell her exactly where the long big one was. I literally had to bite my lip to keep myself from saying what I was thinking, which was (wait for it.....yup, you guessed it!)..."Aren't we all, honey!" After looking at me for what seemed an eternity with a slightly exasperated look on her face, she says "Velveeta! Where's the Velveeta!" Oh, silly me, my bad, you meant that long big one...DUH!! Like I'd know she meant freakin' Velveeta??? Anyhoo, I dutifully take her the literally 5 feet away to where 'the long big one' was, where she stood staring at it for a good minute or so, and then I went into the backroom where I died laughing,and yeah, my co-workers got a good laugh out of it as well. Just shows to go ya that for as aggravating as the buying public can be, they can also be pretty damned amusing, as well.
So Velveeta lady, whoever you are, thanks- you made my day!!

Remember The Lines from Boston?

~why can't I find the lyrics to their song One Man Army ? All I keep finding is crap by The Jonas Brothers(?)..*shudder*And what was the name of that album that came out wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in the early '80's?
~feeling better physically- whatever it was passed after hour one at work, thank goodness.

A bit....

2009-06-27T05:31:00.004-04:00

under the weather this morning :(
Probably nothing, don't like feeling 'off', but seeing as I am almost never sick, I am sure it will pass quickly. And as being nice isn't enough to pay the bills(damnit!), it's off to work for me!

When will the well run dry?

2009-06-25T19:42:00.003-04:00

I dunno- it comes and goes as it pleases, so I catch it and ride while it's here.Random things inspire me, and I run with them. It may take me awhile to come up with something.....profound(?)or deep, if you will, but for as much as this is my place to let it all hang out, I am still a bit ocd when it comes to what I myself crank out; the perfectionist in me comes to the fore, and that's a blessing and a curse in that I want what I write to be good, for me, but on the other hand, while I am waiting for perfection, I am letting a potentially good thought pass, and that's not cool.(is that a long sentence, OR WHAT?? My first grade teacher is most definitely rolling over in her grave, God rest her soul!) So anyhoo, blah blah but here's a thought; does alcohol REALLY allow us to say what we really feel/think? Are one's inhibitions truly lowered while inebriated? ( and no, not staggering stupid drunk, but let's say, oh, 3 or 4 beers in?) I say .....yes, and no, that in and of itself is not a bad thing. Just sayin, as I am on my third Bud(nonwussy thank you very much)Light on an empty stomache, so hence, the rambling....okay, I will right my head now from it's tipped sideways state, and turn off the faucet, for the moment.

Pump it Up- Elvis Costello
I've been on tenterhooks
ending in dirty looks,
list'ning to the Muzak,
thinking 'bout this 'n' that.
She said that's that.
I don't wanna chitter-chat.
Turn it down a little bit
or turn it down flat.

Pump it up when you don't really need it.
Pump it up until you can feel it.

Down in the pleasure centre,
hell bent or heaven sent,
listen to the propaganda,
listen to the latest slander.
There's nothing underhand
that she wouldn't understand.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

She's been a bad girl.
She's like a chemical.
Though you try to stop it,
she's like a narcotic.
You wanna torture her.
You wanna talk to her.
All the things you bought for her,
putting up your temperature.

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

Out in the fashion show,
down in the bargain bin,
you put your passion out
under the pressure pin.
Fall into submission,
hit-and-run transmission.
No use wishing now for any other sin.( cool, cool lines!!!)

Pump it up until you can feel it.
Pump it up when you don't really need it.

You Know You've Had a Good Day When.....

*and back to our scheduled programming*

~ you get all of your annoying 'busy work' done at work. May sound corny, but it does provide a good sense of accomplishment.
~ you get a compliment from way out of nowhere. Case in point; a coworker came up to me, noticed my Clark Kent's perched on my face, and told me I looked beautiful(!). I finally found my glasses, and am tired of squinting, so I am wearing them again, though going from a cold cooler to a warm store makes for foggy viewing. Anyhoo, though I don't need compliments to have a good day or feel good about myself, they are nice, and help to make good a day brighter . Yes, this is a feminazi -free zone. I like compliments; hell, you can even hold the door open for me! And when walking down the street, and the man takes the outside...nice.
~ your bank account has a healthy positive balance!
~ just the sound of someone's voice can inspire a smile.

Will comment on this later, but can you say......'Big Brother'????

~Perez Hilton......WHY???????

~ Barack Obama, yes you are a hypocrite, signing that sweeping tobacco bill while YOU ARE STILL SMOKING???? And sorry, but if you occasionally smoke then you ARE NOT QUIT. PERIOD. I quit nine years ago, and have not had so much as a puff since, but I tell ya, if I did, then I would not still be quit! I could be rightfully called a smoker again, yes, even after 'only' one puff. Sound like I'm too hard on myself, drawing too fine a line in the sand? If that's what you think, fine, but I guard my quit very closely and take it seriously; aside from cranking out three babies, it's the hardest thing I have ever done, and I have garnered respect for it, and I wouldn't risk losing that for anything. I quit for me, I remain quit for me, and if I were to blow it, I would lose respect for myself. So Barack, if you want to be taken seriously, remember, it starts at home. Hypocrite.

One pound away....

2009-06-22T05:37:00.003-04:00

from reaching my first goal of 35 pounds lost- yay!!!! Thirty four pounds in 12 weeks- that's what, an average of about 2.5 pounds per week? I'm doing it slow, steady, healthy and without deprivation(thanks to my determination and Weight Watchers).
WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

~Happy Father's Day(!!) to my Dad- glad I went to visit, and yes, Winnie the WonderDog went for a walk, albeit a short one; it was freaking cold and wet out there! And me with shorts and no raincoat - yeah, I know...DUH! And had a great time with my sisters-in-law Linda and Janet; they help to make all holidays/get-togethers so much fun! It's also cool how alike Edward and Stephen are, sense of humor wise and with how they interact with their respective siblings; got to be a middle child thang, and yes, they are the same age.

~ I live vicariously through Degrassi on the N...... not, not even(puhleeze) but it is addicting, and shit, I hate to sound old, but I do NOT remember middle school and high school being anything like that show portrays it!

LOVE my job! Company is good, and the people there really are great; I finally feel 'accepted', if you will, in my new store, and feel very comfortable.

Rafa has bowed out of Wimbledon due to tendinitis in his knee(s) WAHHHHH!!! Definitely will not be half as fun to watch....guess I'll be rooting for Federer now. Hope Rafa is better for the U.S. Open!

Synonymons.....

2009-06-18T19:06:00.004-04:00

~ why is it so hard to take one's own advice?C'mon, we've all been guilty of it, don't be shy....
~ is gulliblilty attractive if it's genuine?
~ are you big enough to indulge in the occasional self-depracating humor?
~ people sometimes are amazed that I (proudly) sported a 4.0 GPA before I left school 3 years ago; hmmmm, should I be offended? Nahhhhh.....
~ I must have at least 4 paper journals that I have started, but feel more comfortable letting it all out via keyboard; considering my love of books and paper, I find that strange..maybe 'cause my handwriting really sucks? Dunno.....
~ when I knew that my lungs had recovered from the damage I did from smoking for over 21 years? When I could hold the long note in Tuesday Afternoon by the Moody Blues( you know the one) without running out of breath. Oh, and it'll be nine, count 'em NINE years smoke free quit on the 25th!! Yay, me!!!And Happy nine, Miles, on the 22nd!!
~ is sensuality innate or learned? I believe you either come into this world with it, or you truly don't possess it at all; it's just not something that one can learn to have and it doesn't necessarily have to be a true definition of itself to exist. It can be as simple as an eye movement, or the way one gesturestheir hands or tilts their head.
~ yes, the floodgates are open again! It comes and goes....

Other Side of the World K.T. Tunstall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jpYwsfC3ZY

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an Iceberg
Waiting to change,
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like
the water,

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers
and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

Then the fire fades away
most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world
Ohh.... the other side of the world
You're.... the other side of the world
To me.

Sam's Summer( for now, at least)
~ Watching Around the Horn, an o.k. show...and I am looking at Jay Mariotti and he has lost ALOT of weight! Amazing how the skin around the neck and face bounces back to it's former tautness after/during weight loss, isn't it? That is my personal benchmark, to be sure, a very satisfying sign.
~ WHAT????? Sammy Sosa has been doing 'roids?? NO WAY..... I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya......*right*The powers that be that run baseball need to grow a major set and totally clean house, EVERYONE that has/is doing 'roids needs to go, and yes, that applies to Sox players as well . And spare me the arguement that some players did them when they weren't 'banned' or 'illegal'...blahblahblah ... don't wanna do the time? don't do the crime.
~ Bunker Hill Day... Hey, Jack Hart and Tom Finneran, if this 'holiday' is so damn important, why is it that only those who live in what is it, Essex County, get the day off? Why can't EVERYONE, state worker or not, get the day off? Hart, you are an ass....I am so sure that you spent the day in deep contemplation at the monument.....
~ I never knew that Boz Scaggs sings 'What Can I Say"! LOVE this song!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSHv-LN3TG0&NR=
~ shameless birthday plug~ Silk Degrees on cd makes the perfect 45th birthday gift!!teehee and listen to the high note that's hit at the end of yet another rediscovered beauty of a song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOyMpQQriY0&feature=related

Bad Boys Get Spanked

2009-06-16T12:42:00.005-04:00

~ yes, I DO listen to music from decades OTHER than the 80's, but it is most unapologetically my fave, and the above mentioned Pretenders song is just so.....raw and powerful ,and actually it's Martin Chambers' drumming that makes it as sexual as it is.
~ I taught my friend's 20 month old daughter how to say 'Well, duh!' today...heehee. She got it down in no time flat- I'm sure he'll be thanking me profusely later!(NOT)
~ do you still employ 'walls'? And at 44 3/4, is it time for me to knock it off, or am I better off with my defenses, so long as I don't become wayyyy too defensive?
~ have you ever tried a grocery home delivery service? ( I hear that the one at Roche Bros. is fab,winkwink ). If so, is it worth it? Any major cons to the notion? I am toying with it, only because I have virtually no time to grocery shop, seeing as after an 8 hour shift, I just wanna get the hell outta there, and shopping on my one day off is a major unsatisfying suck.... (not whining, really, just sayin')
~ was able to FINALLY listen to Michael Graham again(wtkk 96.9 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.)!! He is fannnnnntastic!

Tired Minds....

2009-06-14T22:39:00.003-04:00

tend to meander quite a ways, and seeing as I have been up for.....19 hours now(!!) my mind has been travellin'(sp) far and wide. Sleep is thankfully coming very shortly, but before I fall into blissful slumber, allow me to share alot of everything and nothing that I have experienced along the Route 66 of my cluttered brain...

~my seventeen year old cracks me up! He is just a naturally funny person.
~ why do people who have lost weight(me!me! 33 lbs lighter!) feel more confident when there is less of them? Shouldn't that make me feel more ...vulnerable? Weird, but cool, that I don't.
~ do you dive into a pool, lake, ocean head first or feet first?
~ now take the above and apply it to how you conduct yourself in life; feet or head first? Do you lead with your logic or your emotion, or can the two be intertwined somehow? ( told you I'm tired)
~ is there any song that drives you to tears? Not necessarily a full-blown crying jag, but tears? Me, yeah, a couple.... "I Guess that's why they call it the Blues" by Elton John, and "All I Want is You" by u2.
~ would life really be easier sans complications? Or would a total lack of a good martini shake now and then turn our souls to complete nothingness?
and now for the most relevant musing of all...
~ beer at a bar- glass or bottle?

Some U2 for your 'listening' pleasure...

2009-06-14T17:04:00.003-04:00

IMHO, one of their best songs; the lyrics are just amazing, capture and reveal so much.... my faves are highlighted. I was going to just post a few good lines, but hey, the entire song deserves posting, so here it is.
Do yourself a favor, and go to youtube and give it a listen, with eyes closed, of course...

Who's Gonna Ride your Wild Horses
You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left in a beach
Well, you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now love, don't you look back!

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of the

Just because....

Physical(You're So)
Adam Ant

I want to date you maybe
I want to take you out
I want to wine and dine you-oo
I want to twist and twist and shout
I want you hard in my arms
so soft on my bed
you get the keys to my heart
when you wear that sweet dress
(you know, the short one)
you're so physical, physical for me
you're just too physical, physical, for me

I want your roughouse baby
I want this night in your ear
let me feel you danger
I want to make this feeling clear
I want the touch of your charms
the heat of your breath
I want to say all those things
(those dirty things)
that would be better unsaid

Craving some Ants, maybe?

Magnificent Five
Adam ant/marco pirroni

Long ago in london town
A man called ant sat deeply sighing
He was wondering
Which side of the fence he was on
Prick up your ears...

Time went by and soon
The one was five young hombres
Burning fire
They were in no doubt
Which side of the fence they were on
Prick up your ears (mag-nificent five)...

He who writes in blood
Doesn't want to be read
He must be learned by heart
He's got to be learned by heart

They believed in sex and looking good
With their own brand of music
They weren't pandering
So which side of the fence
Are you on?

Why you'll never see a fat hockey player

2009-06-10T19:38:00.004-04:00

Have you ever watched hockey?? How could those guys be doughy and play that game? I was watching the game last night(yay, Pittsburgh!), and the way they tool around the ice , forwards, backwards, and then jump over the boards? Yeah, right, those guys have cores like raging furnaces. Too bad they have so much damn uniform on that you can't truly aprreciate all their hard work. ;)
~and today was far superior to yesterday

Car Update

2009-06-10T04:25:00.004-04:00

First, let me say that for as much as yesterday sucked, one of the bright spots was taking a walk to the place pictured above and below, the Norris Reservation on Dover St in Norwell. It's a Trustees reservation that beautifully hugs the North River, and with it's gently sloping wooded paths with what seems to be a bajillion harmonious songbirds, it's a great place for a much needed head clearing walk. Try it sometime- it's also a great place for the wee ones in your life to explore as well.

Ok, so about the car- we got a loan for more than half the cost of repair,(thank-you) so I will be calling "THE MECHANIC" this morning from work and giving him the O.K. to fix it-YAY!

In Appreciation of.....What I see when I hear Promenade by u2

2009-06-09T19:25:00.002-04:00

I was asked where I got the name for my blog from. It came from Promenade, my most fave song by u2, and this poem was born from my head while listening to the song.

see the stars
flashing by
against an ink black sky
that drapes over dawn, lightly
blink
my dream drenched,
lazy eyes
up,
towards the mid morning sun
Iam feeling
so Picasso
lying in pieces in the grass
with the world spinning by
in
colour change, seasonal time
nature falling, over me
effervescence covers,
lighter than air
smile,
as if drugged
You are...
liquid guitar notes in
half-tone meanderings, upward
faintly
in standstill waves
along my whole, end me
heavy,
in rapture
close my eyes,
to kiss.
Christine 2005

Prayers?

2009-06-09T18:16:00.002-04:00

if you don't mind, for my Mom? She is being tested for cancer tomorrow, and while I'm sure that all will be okay, I am still worried.
So any type of prayer you wish to shoot her way will be greatly appreciated-thanks!

CAUTION- Serious vent to follow

2009-06-09T10:10:00.005-04:00

I really try not to use profanity in my blog alot, but this situation warrants it. For those with virgin eyes, you have been forwarned.......

I feel like that with a select few aspects of my life I just cannot win. My Ford Escort needs a clutch to the tune of $1300.- guess what. I don't have it, mainly because I had to sink $1100.- into Rob's car last month for brakes, because he's lazy, and doesn't make enough money to cover repairs of that size,now we're down to one car, I receive little to no input/support from the one I SHOULD be getting it from,blah blah, blah.....
I'm tired of being the sole decision maker, sole planner...if I'm going to continue acting on my own, then I want to be on my fucking own!! I am just way out of fucking patience, I am out of ....everything. I can't take another friggin' crisis thrown at me.
No, I'm not going to do anything stupid; please, I am way smarter than that....there's a great line from Supertramp's Take the Long Way Home- ' then you feel that your life's become a catastrophe, oh, it has to be, for you to grow' Maybe I just need it all to implode, fall apart, and then I can start anew....?
I just thank God for the people and things that make me happy, add positively to my life, and that help to keep me grounded and sane ......
if that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, then man, I am going to be one powerful fucking force to behold!! =)
Thanks for reading.

2009-06-09T04:51:00.005-04:00

I guess the one thing I can say that I really can't stand about myself is when I allow the self-doubt to creep in and overtake me with a wicked vengeance.
"Did I make a total ass of myself?" (I really don't think that I did, but..wait, here it comes, that wussy gal on my shoulder saying that hmmmm, bet you did! )
'Will my penchant for shooting from the hip and telling it like it is be my downfall?"(Again, no...and I am trying desperately to knock that annoying bitch off of my shoulder...)

*please don't disappear*

I guess that I have to just trust all, including my gut, and relax. Amazing thing, the human psyche, how one can feel so happy/anxious/confused and completely comfortable all at once, and so cool how I can be so okay with that!

Yes, I'm weird, but loveable!

Congratulate Me!

2009-06-07T16:21:00.002-04:00

Why? Well, if you really want to know, then either email /text/call me, and I'll let ya in on the good news....

and for a real bit of randomosity-
~one of the best lines from any song ever is from Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting by Elton John, and it's this one
'I'm a juvenile product , of the working class
who's best friend floats in the bottom of a glass.'
Is that just the most consummate line, or what?
~are you Turning Japanese??
Secretive Christine- a trappedina44yearoldbody late juvenile product of the 80's, and damn proud of it!

To follow are some pet peeves of mine, and if I am emplying the repeat-o-matic , my apologies. I forget that I have been at this blogging thang for 4 years now, and rarely do I re-read my old posts.
So.... in no particular order....

~ people who insist on YOU being the one who initiates the phone calls- very annoying. Oh, wow, you have one of those phones that can't call out? Bummer.....
~ people who leave coupons for various products near said products on the shelf. Guys, I realize that your intentions are good, and I mean no malice, but honestly? I throw them out. I don't need my yogurt/cheese/egg shelves littered with coupons.Do your fave dairy managerchick- type person a favor, and put them on/near the bulletin board in the lobby of the store. PLEASE.
~ waking up with an excruciating headache for no discernible (sp?) reason. No, I didn't get hammered last night, I didn't overeat or eat anything wacky..... 15 hours later, it is FINALLY going away.
~game playing. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT. Please, don't waste my time or yours.
~ why my backhand totally SUCKS. I hit that ball wider than ... I dunno what(couldn't think of a witty analogy, sorry).
~ people who verbally do the equivalent of repetetively(?) tapping your shoulder. WHY?? Isn't life too short to expend energy on being a total dickhead?
~Olive Garden commercials. Ugghh, makes me so not want to go.
~ Cialis commercials. Separate bathtubs?? HUH??? What, is this
some kind of masochistic foreplay ('Hey, babe, don't you wish you could squeeze into this itty-bitty one size fits one tub with me and feel what you're missin'? Oh, you can't? Well here, let's just hold hands instead. Thank God I took my erectile meds today, huh?"
UUGGHH!!!!
There, that's it . Petty? Maybe, but I will add my usual caveat-oh, well.

Know what?

2009-06-04T21:38:00.002-04:00

It really sucks that I allowed myself to disappear, but.. it's so cool to be found !

Thanks!

Are fat people REALLY jolly??

2009-05-29T19:26:00.002-04:00

In my humble opinion, there are 3 types of fat people in the world. No, let me amend that- there are 3 types of fat WOMEN in the world, and I single out women, because I rarely see the following behaviors in men.Whether that's due to the fact that chubbiness is more accepted in men than in women, I feel that that is definitely a factor, so without further adieu, here is my highly personal and most unscientific 'report' , and if I offend anyone, well...... so what.

1) The Happy Fatty
The happy fatty is the woman who most likely has had weight issues her entire life, and is very comfortable with her size, and therefore tends to exude an air of self-confidence and self- acceptance. She's fat, she knows it, and she doesn't really care who 'approves' of her size or not. She dresses well( you'll never see an undersized belly shirt on THIS gal!), and her overall aforementioned demeanor makes one forget her size, and focus on the PERSON instead.
2) The Angry(but only at herself) Fatty
The above named fatty is a woman who has let herself go( hey, we ALL have, at some point, haven't we?), and isn't feeling too good about it. You can tell by her body language that she is definitely NOT comfortable in either her skin, or her clothes, and she wears her self-consciousness like a scarlet A on her chest. She is angry, to be sure, but not at anyone but herself. While she was stupid enough to make poor choices regarding food and lack of exercise, she is inherently smart enough to know that it was SHE that got herself on the fat track to the nearest Lane Bryant, and that it would be grossly unfair and unappealing to blame everyone in the universe, her husband, men in general, etc for her weight issues. She doesn't let her anger and self-loathing negatively affect her relationships, or her interactions with the everday world, and because of that, you find yourself secretly cheering her on to get back on the healthier living track.
3) The Angry, ANGRY Fatty
The angry, ANGRY fatty has got to be the most reviled, obnoxious, hateful woman to walk the planet. She can relate to the previous fatties in that she can either be a forever fatty, or one who has just gotten plain lazy, but this is ALL that she has in common with numbers 1 and 2. The angry ANGRY is reviled , obnoxious and hateful, because while it is HER fault that she resembles a beachball on toothpicks, she is going to blame everyone else for her misery, and damnit, we are ALL going to pay for making her that way. The angry ANGRY tends to use coarse language on a regular basis; referring to her ex boyfreind as a douchebag, or calling the so called skinny gal in the office a 'c u next t' is not below this gal's standards. She feels no anger towards HERSELF for the fact that she is forced to dress in mu-mu's that even your grandma would eschew; no, in her mind, it is the fault of Hugh Hefner, her boyfriend who happens to innocently check out a pretty girl walking by , snack cake manufacturers, fast food chains, Budweiser...ANYONE but herself. While it is true that American society wrongly covets the young and very thin,that still should give no woman license to be a miserable bitch towards anyone who happens to be a shade or two thinner than she is. The angry ANGRY is the type of gal who will mumble 'slut' under her breath when a hottie walks by, or who will verbally tear apart the classmate who has *God forbid* taken pride in herself, looks great, and dresses to show it. She exudes the utter disdain she is feeling towards her body, and the permanent scowl on her overly made up face is akin to a cobra showing it's hood; one finds onself running away from her as fast as they can. And yes, she is stupid, because while she is so busy being permanently pissed off, she has blinded gherself to the fact that size really doesn't matter if the person inside of the fat suit is a good, likeable, genuinely fun to be around person.

and yeah, I am feeling nostalgic...this song came out in '70, when I was a mere wisp of a 6 year old, and hearing it brings back such awesome memories of my sisters and a fab childhood and such..
but it's not a sad nostalgia. Nope, it's a good one.
Enjoy, and pull up more of their stuff- she had one AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL voice. Such a damn, damn shame that she could never see just how special, meaningful,talented and truly loved she was.

How Provocative!!

Maybe it's just me,and my less than innocent mind, but...

hell, just watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8273rlq1BEI and tell me the first thing that comes to mind when the band spells out the initials to the chorus.
Oh, and yes, it is one of my fave songs by them, along with Love Cats and Let's Go to Bed.

"I lost your honesty, you lost the life in you"
"where does the end of me, become the start of you"- from Change by Tears for Fears

Listening to 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago reminds me of being between the ages of six and eight; don't ask why, it just does. And yes, I love early Chicago- the jams are fabdabulous.

Fall and the sounds of blue jays screeching remind me of my childhood, also, especially of Dyer School, my elementary school.

In my twenties, I didn't appreciate my good skin and line-less face; I thought I was forever young and impervious to nature's inevitable ways. In my thirties, I was too busy raising young-uns to notice much of anything. Now , as I am resting anxiously(in a good way) in my mid-forties, I am so much appreciating my still blond(though gray laiden) long thick hair, my still good , laugh-line tinged good complexion and my much loved but still sometimes surprising self confidence. I am 44, and totally loving it! No 24 year old has ANYTHING on me!
