"you'll hear from us within 2-3 weeks"...
blah.....
than being forced to listen to Christmas songs...
Its Christmas time, theres no need to be afraid
at christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
but in our world of plenty, we should spread a smile of joy!
Throw your arms around the world at christmas time
but say a prayer - pray for the other ones
at christmas time, its hard but when your having fun
theres a world outside your window
and its a world of dread and fear
where the only water flowing is a bitter sting of tears
And the christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
and there wont be snow in africa this christmas time
the greatest gift they'll get this year is life
where nothing ever grows
no rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's christmas time at all?
here's to you raise a glass for everyone
here's to them underneath the burning sun
do they know its christmas time at all?
feed the world
feed the world
feed the world
let them know its christmas time and
feed the world
let them know its christmas time
feed the world
let them know its christmas time
Having to use a hotel computer - - ewww!!! Keyboard germs :barf:
Ever since my job duties changed in August I find it harder and harder each day to get motivated to get to the office.... 90% of my job is making appointments for my boss, the other 10% I'm registering him for conferences, buying items on-line for him or researching stupid things (currently I am looking for a antique time clock, like the one used at Dunwoody years ago).... god I am soooooo bored with my job!!
I don't know. I just am. Irritated isn't really the right word. Its more like I just don't care, nor do I have any motivation to do anything, for myself, or anyone else.
I know I'm going to mexico in less than three weeks, and I'm not even excited. I have all sorts of great plans with friends in the next few days and I don't even care. I'm like - huh. great. gee.
Tonight I had a meeting and dinner with some friends, and got asked to do something really cool (install one of my best friends as president) and I was like, um.. ya, sure. I guess.
I've been getting more sleep than I have in prolly 15 years lately. My diet and exercise routine is better. I've weaned myself off of 10 cups of coffee a day down to maybe 1.
I hit that same kind of wall back in the day... but before I figured out what I wanted my life changed when I had my first born... now here I am at 43 hitting that same wall I did 20 years ago.... time for a change...
Hugs to you, Vino! Hope this time of transition ends up being exciting and wonderful.
sorry to hear about your screen
maybe it's our midlife crisises.
where are you going in Mexico? do tell.
Our housing association sucks at putting out curb markers for the snowplows, so I have taken it upon myself to mark the driveway and the street in front of my place. Those orange fiberglass rods are about $2-3 at Fleet Farm. They've worked great the last 2 winters - with no yard damage at all from the snowplows.
We got some neighbors - nice people - they have 3-4 vehicles for a 2 car garage, so they are always jockeying vehicles for position in the driveway. They've run over and broke off a stick across from their driveway twice in the last week.
You can back over them and bend them practically sideways without breaking. They're 4 feet high and have reflective tape at the top - anyone who actually looked out their back window should be able to see them.
I'm gonna start billing the Association, dammit.
Actually I am sorry that you're in a funk. You'll be OK sunshine. Just let things happen and allow yourself to enjoy them. You might find yourself enjoying things that you never thought you would in the past.
Honestly - I feel like dumb. I know that sounds strange, but I feel like I've lost half my IQ in the past couple of years. Unfortunately, when I surround myself with seemingly "educated" people out here, I end up making fun of them for being pretentious and snobby...
oh grey hair -- mucky, I'm right there with you girl. I color every 3 weeks now, because I'm about 60% grey. It's horrid. I've even started using color for latin, grey resistant (cause it's stronger) and it still pops thru in about a week.

'my bad'
NY Times Story
looks wonderful. you're going over my birthday. I am hoping that is a nice fun weekend overall. I'm really in to unique wine stoppers lately.

Our neighborhood has signage saying 'no solicitors' but there are three different boys (all black kids - ages 15 to 17) who knock just about every week and try to sell us local newspaper subscriptions for "Scholarships". I think they forget to tell each other which houses they already knocked on doors and are repeating themselves.
It's easy to fall into a trap and feel like things are confusing because you understand the ramifications of all the things happening around you. Most do not.
Others only understand limited things happening around them.
Because of your higher intelligence you are able to gauge whats happening on a higher level and some of the things that happen seem trivial to others, but are important you. Thats why you think some are pretentious and snobby. You can see the ramifications where others do not.
It's really easy to be dumb, but it's a curse to be smart.
Dumb people don't realize they're dumb and whats happening around them, and are therefore content.
Smart people realize how things can exerbate themselves and therefore can freakout over things sometimes, even though things can work out. They are able realize the potential of of things and how they could be and therefore look for markers to gauge the extent of the interaction. They expect that things will be rational to them. Some times they are not.
Thats when they start to question the "smart People".
They start to ask "how can this happen"?
Suddenly you realize the "smart people" aren't so smart afterall.
You may feel "dumb" because in your own feelings and enviroment (words substituted because I can't think of better ones) you know what your thinking, but are unable to express it in verbal terms.
You have not lost your IQ. Quite contaire my dear. (excuse my french - or lack thereof) You just need to express it!
You feel like you've gotten dumber (now there's some good english) but you have actually "gotten smarter" and the regular bullshit don't interest you any more. You need more!
And when you try to "get more" your getting "more of the same". Therefore your feeling inadequate.
In reality you are growing beyond the people around you.
My advise: Get a grip / understand the reality
There is a popular scam selling Magazine subscriptions through a 'service' that's just a way to get your private information, but that's all I've found so far. The fact that it's always just one kid showing up at a time, but different sellers showing up with the exact same clipboard has me a bit wary.
pleas consider her...as the school gets 55% and about 15k for a small school..
Why do kids feel the need to ignore a problem thinking it's just going to go away. So I've been working on my big research paper tonight Elizabeth was out at the table working on a puzzle and Amy was off doing what ever Amy does to keep herself busy. I go out to take a look at how Elizabeth was doing with her puzzle to find that 1/2 of the table is covered in Milk with one of my books (a novel that luckily I'd finished reading), misc papers and a Nintendo DS sitting in the spilled milk. I of course at this point am starting to get angry because A. Why is the milk spilled, B. Why in the heck didn't you come tell me it wasn't spilled and C. when you saw the DS sitting in the milk why didn't you take it out! The answer I get is a mixture of well I told Amy to clean it up she spilled it and I didn't know there was a DS sitting in the milk .....yeah I'm really PO'd at this point Lisa is going to be 8 in 3 weeks she way know's better than to just leave a mess like that.
I repeat I love my kids......I love my kids..... I love my kids....luckily the DS is still working doesn't look like the milk got into it's components at all but I of course didn't tell them that they've both lost their DS's for an undetermined amount of time....
Some time ago I got the Beatles' Greatest Hits sets on CD:
With a lot of the music I have; once I import it into my computer on iTunes, I like to track back the ORIGINAL album and album art they came from. Not so easy with the Beatles. They have several early hits that never made it onto albums until later. There are several differences between the US and UK releases, too.
This site looks like the simplest reference to use:

It's still crazy: Here's an example - the song "Yellow Submarine" came out in 1966 as a single, and was placed on two LP albums before the Yellow Submarine movie was even made! Would you still list it on the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack even though it came our four years (and three albums) earlier? :goofy: :pbpt: :goofy:
I'm sure there will be something for a fun night out
and everyone is more than welcome to come out to whatever gets planned.
sounds like you had a crazy sad eventful weekend.
and on a lighter note I have to say it.... did you cry (or the girls) over the spilt milk? cute.
As for the crying over spilled milk/possibly ruined DS...yeah the girls were definately crying because they made mommy mad...
come in to work, turn computer moitor on, get coffee, check AM, do some work, check AM, get more coffee, do some work.
speaking of..... where's RedBear lately?
Ares and TC too.
and yes!! MEXICO!..
I love mexico. If I had enough $$ I'd have a house there too.
