Just finished my grocery shopping…now I’m too friggin’ tired to put it away!
Also, had Long John Silvers for lunch. Damn, I think that’s great fast food. Yum!!

I love my new pet rats. I can’t wait till they are all grown up and are HUGE. Right now they are really young and very small.
I like the Ask Jeeves web site. I suck at searching the web, and this site makes it really easy. I find exactly what I am looking for almost immediately. Even really obscure stuff.
I need to come up with a sig line.

Sunbear: I went to that birthdate site. Dang, I was taking comfort in the idea that Britney Spears was a whole year younger than me, but not I find out that it’s only by a few months.
Baby, it’s cold outside!
I love it when Texas actually gets cold (or, at least, cool). It’s nice to put on sweaters and long pants or snuggle up under a blanket with somebody warm.

Rooms To Go finally delivered the end table and lamp that I bought 3 months ago. After the guy dumped off the boxes and left, a friend of mine called. I told her I couldn’t talk because I had to put my table together, and she informed me that the delivery people are supposed to do that for you. I should call them up and have someone come back out here, but I really hate having people in my apartment, plus I don’t feel like being stuck here all day waiting for them to come back. So I guess I’ll figure it out myself.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this…my apartment is starting to smell like dead short tailed possum. 
I have to keep my windows open and even though I have my AC running it is still hot as heck here. I am sure ya’ll really wanted to know this, but hey, it’s mundane.

dead short tailed possum?
explain.I’ve only been here 3 decades.possums I’ve seen.
I didn’t get the job. They said 3 weeks ago that I got it, then a week ago, they said they were still hiring and I wasn’t hired, and now, they said they stopped hiring and I wasn’t hired. Lying fuckers.
So that’s 3 jobs now where I didn’t get hired. Let’s hope the 4th one is a keeper.
Well, I feel stupid. I’m supposed to go to a seminar tomorrow and I don’t know where it is! I know it starts at 8:00 and it’s in a hotel in Bellevue somewhere, but I DON’T KNOW WHICH HOTEL!!
So I’m here at work, it’s 10:00 and I’m looking through old e-mails and papers on my desk and did a full zillion GB search of my hard drive trying to find the stupid location. I went to the website where I registered and it just says Bellevue. I can’t find my registration confirmation paperwork anywhere. I even tried to register again but it came back with a message saying that city was full, try another.
No luck. I called the Hilton (that’s where I thought it was) and they said it wasn’t there. The only thing I can do now is call the seminar people tomorrow and explain to them that I don’t have a clue, but where exactly am I supposed to be?
The bad news is it takes over an hour to get to Bellevue when it’s only 20 miles away because the morning traffic is so bad! So I have to leave way early but their 800 number says they’ll be in the office by 6 a.m. PST.
Now comes the really embarassing part – this is the second time this week that I’ve done this! I went to a seminar Tuesday morning and I had to come back to work Monday because I’d forgotten to get the location for that one, too. Except that that time I found it!

I have my first physical therapy session in the pool yesterday. I was very nervous, because I haven’t been in a pool since I was 13, which was 13 years ago, but it was actually kind of fun. It helped that the other patients in the pool were also big, fat, and disabled. They weren’t too intimidating. No fear of “beached whale” jokes there. Now if only my therapist wasn’t so little and skinny.
Speaking of rehab, my other therapist said something the other day that, when taken out of context, is kinda funny and, if I wasn’t still so attached to my Jack Handy quote, I’d consider using it:
“As long as I have leather and pliers, I can accomplish anything.”
Kinda makes one wonder what kind of therapy I was undergoing, doesn’t it?

Gr8,
I’ve done my time in pool therapy (and expect to do a lot more). My therapist is one of those women with a FLAWLESS figure- she teaches advanced step aeorobics 4 times a week. Yikes. Problem is, she’s too nice to hate! Good luck with it- it always helps my back quite a bit.
Pluto: It’s called a “day planner”. Get one!!!
Louie,
Sorry to hear about the job

Regarding my dead possum problem:
I had a pet short tailed possum. They are not very common, they are used mainly as lab animals and are only now hitting the exotic pet stores. They look like big mice, except they have long snouts, eyes that bug out of their heads, and short, prehensile tails. They are very friendly and smart and make great pets. Mine was named Daisy. Last week, she either escaped from her cage on her own, or I forgot to lock her cage after feeding her. In any case, she wound up dead, mauled by my cats. She crawled into a small hole in my wall and died somewhere in there. Now, my apartment smells like dead short tailed possum.

44 years ago today (Sept. 30) James Dean died. He was driving at +150 miles per hour when his Spyder Porsche crashed…“Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans”-John Lennon.
This very moring today, I crashed my stunning Peugeot 306 ( www.peugeot.com ) into the back of a shabby Opel Astra. I lived. But I did maybe 20 kilometres. “Shit happens”.

I found the hotel for the seminar. I called the sponsor early this morning and they were very gracious. It was the Hyatt.
The actual seminar was very good. The only bad thing was when I called my wife during a break and she said she’d found the confirmation letter sitting on top of the desk. I’ll have to go back to the tupperware lids thread!

My husband is in charge of washing the dishes. He got up this morning, loaded the dishwasher,put the soap in, hooked it up, turned it on, poured himself a cup of coffee, and sat down at the computer. But something didn’t sound right. I asked him if the dishwasher sounded a little strange to him. He stopped for a minute, and said “Oh, that’s okay. I didn’t turn the water on. Didn’t you notice those plates we have that say ‘dry clean only’?”
By the time I picked myself up off the floor (I had fallen off the couch in a fit of laughter), he had turned the water on.
I overheard a couple of co-workers talking about how the Christmas season is barrelling down upon us once again (time flies when you’re old), and thought this exchange was pretty funny:
Co-worker 1: “I still have my Christmas decorations up from last year.”
CW 2: “At least you won’t have to put them up again this year.”
CW 1: “Yeah, but the pine boughs are getting pretty brown.”
