I just have one thing to say about this rain, God may have created the Heavens and the Earth but Mother Nature Rules, She's the one with the POWER!

Everything goes better on a Ritz!

I don't mind that it is rainning and has been for days I don't even mind that tonight I have to go back into the downpour and within ten minutes me ,myself and I are so soaking wet that it isn't even funny. How can I be so udazed by all of this icky weather? Simple, today I am enjoying my own little picnic, just me and the glass of Sauvignon Blanc, Monterey Jack and my Ritz's crackers. I am in Heaven, leave a message and shorly I'll get back to you.

Two more days to get those resolutions together. I know what I want to do but I haven't completely decided.

Dust On The Shelves/ parody on Smoke on the Water, Deep Purple

I woke up to wrapping paper all around the living room. To make matters worse there were dishes on the counter. Someone forgot to buy coffee and what little there was spilt on the floor. Dust on the shelves, dust everywhere. Dust on the shelves just blowing it won't make it dissappear. Dust on the shelves enough to write your name in, dust on the shelves god why do I have to live here!

Sweet Home Alabama

Thinking back over the years I can't help but laugh at some of the crazy things. Here is just a small example of absurness in my life. Graduation day h.s. '74, all of us are excited nervous and relieved that we are actually going to get a diploma and get the heck out of there. As we make our last visits to the restroom for one final check before show time, all of our parents have gathered in the gym for the main attraction. We begin to file in and take our seats, our Valedictorian is making her speech when all of a sudden I hear the sound of nylon graduation gown rustling. The next thing I know I feel the brush of someone wanting to get out of the aisle, so of course I move so they can get thru. Lord have Mercy! Please tell me I did not just see the grand canyon on legs. Yeppers! "And they call him the streaker, Ethel- don't look" Ray Stevens.

I Believe...

Had to work last night, but that was alright. It was rather nice and quite, what traffic there was, was light. Every radio station had on music of the season,

Me and my co-worker just crusing the streets on Christmas Eve.

As we drove over Richarson Bay the sweet smell of forgotten trees caught our attention . My first thought was to find an open 7-11 for a fresh cup of Irish cream. The night slowly ticked away giving thought to visions of sleeping in my bed. Along about 5:15 pst. my helper taps me on the shoulder and with a loud exclaim "What's that red blinking light in the northern sky"? I looked where he had motioned to, standing still and quietly we both heard the faint sounds of sleighbells as Santa and his reindeer flew out of sight.

The Christmas Gift

******************************************************************************Well, my co-worker presented me with a gift. I had no idea he held me in such "High Esteem". I truly was at a loss for words until he said "Go ahead use it", and then......I replied," I'll put my eye out"! (durn thing doesn't come with an owners manual).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY All You CAPRICORNS!

How lucky you are to be the first day of Winter and right smack dab at this Holy Season. May all of you have a wonderful birthday, you truly are "SPECIAL".

Wake up your in my bed!

I was so tried so I went to bed only to find someone else had gotten there first. Now I'm stuck in this position untill they wake up and I hope I can get out of this fruit basket and into my bed! My friend sent me this; boy can I relate to the expression on the border collie's face.

I go out today and I'm suppose to meet my best friend to place some flyers up at different bars to let people know of our friends farewell celebration next week. The sky is threathen to bust loose at any moment. I dress for a major storm, ball cap so I can see if it should rain my glasses won't get wet, raincoat with hood in case the wind with gale force winds whip thru, my umbrella (that I wasn't aware when I left home that it was broken) that matches my raincoat and ballcap. God forbid if I didn't co-ordinate my attire. This is what takes up most of my time getting ready to go any place. Ok, moving on, I'm ready to go outside after six phone calls from my friend that went something like this: "What's the weather like there? Getting ready to pour, OK, I'll call you back." Finally two hours later than planned we begin to converge toward the agreed meeting place. My phone rings. "Where are you? 16th and Sanchez, you've got to see this HUGE SNOWGLOBE! Where is it? 16th and Sanchez. Where are you? "At the Mix" Well why don't I meet you at Moby Dick. 16th and Sanchez why don't you meet me at Moby Dick. Ok, I'll meet you there. We arrive there at the same moment, this is a miricale in itself as I am prone to meandger and smell the roses along the way but today I was messerized by the HUGE snowglobe. The best way to describe it is the episode of "Friends" where Elaine is starring at the tires going around and around. There I was watching the snow flakes drift down onto the snowball family singing "Let it Snow". We hook up and pass out the flyers then we head over to the Pilshner for a few games of pool and a cold one. It hasn't began to rain just yet so after awhile we return to the Mix where the drinks and food flowed freely. People showed up and the place was packed both inside and out, I saw folks that I honnestly haven't seen in years. This was truly a day in Heaven.

She Came In Through The Bathroom Window- Paul McCarthney

It is soo rainning here all night all day and proably into tonight again. I've had three friends call and ask me to come help put out sand bags with them. I guess they figure since I've been out in the rain alnight what's a few more hours of being soaked to the bone! The most amazing thing happened last night before I went to work. This Lady climbed in thru our apartment window. I was sleeping and heard a different female voice than I 'm used to hearing so I immediately woke up. Sat up in the bed looked at the poor dear "DRIPPING WET", layed back down and figured I was dreaming, then it hit me that my dreams don't talk to my roommates, so I sat back up and she was explainning how she got locked out of her apartment and saw our window was open so she climbed up the fire escape three floors in the worse rainstorm we've had in a very long while. I offered her a towel but she said she was embarrassed and she'd cry but she's already soaked. Apologized for the puddle, I called the landlord and he came and let her into her apartment. I told her not to worry tomorrow she'd be laughing about it. I just realized this is the lady I accidently went into her apartment one night. All of our doors look the same and after climbing the three flights of stairs I figured I was at the right door, so in I go. Her place is "Beautiful", that's when I realized wrong apartment. I guess we're even now, next?

It began rainning at percisely 9:45a.m. how do I know that I was on my way home when a big splat of rain nearly knocked me out. See, I was a weather lady in a previous life, and people, friends, co-workers think I'm insane when I tell'em, "Hmm, we're in for a change in the weather. Smells like rain". Now on the news last night they said it wouldn't happen untill 6 a.m. Sunday . I told my helper , they're wrong we might not get thru tonight w/o getting soaked. Oh no he argued they said Sunday. Fine, have I ever been wrong? No, ok then who ya gonna believe, me or someone ya don't even know? -------- While he's sleeping and I'm driving I'm looking at everything, my gauges, the traffif , mirrors, the trees, watching for animals crossing the road, the moon, the clouds , changes in the outside temperature, how a few leaves slowly drifting off a tree suddenly turns into the whole tree is necked. Sooo, we get back to the yard , dock the trailer, get out say hello's and leave, the second we stepped onto the sidewalk splat right on our heads. Tonight will be interesting,cold,wet and slick. I wish my tractor was ready, they pulled it out of service thanks to the skunk smell!

Shopping Has It's Own Language

Last night I was thinking, well ok I was really wondering about the meanning of life and some other real important questions. This thought flashed thru my mind more than once, How come taxi cab drivers don't sell life insurance? Then there was this crazy notion that because we bought tickets for the train why are we riding on a bus? How is it on the coldest know day can one fly find my window? Today is the sixteenth right? Cool, I've got eight more days before I go Christmas shopping. Does anyone know how late the stores will be open on Christmas eve, I mean I don't want to get there too early, that spoils the fun of "Panic Shopping". Ok, I have to share something with all of you. Yesterday we were out and about and window shopping, alot of walking and I suddenly realized I couldn't understand a word my g/f was saying, it was like she was speaking a whole different language, one that I had no knowledge of being able to comprehend. It could have been Italian, French , German or Greek, all I know was I was lost. We had walked for what seemed like two hours and I hadn't eaten anything for a while, so I asked her if she wanted to get a bite to eat. I heard something that sounded like "Prada". All I know was that my feet hurt and I wanted to sit down some place, so I spied a "Starbucks" here want to sit here and enjoy our lates? Her response was "Gucci". Ok, good. Then I felt like a double scoop of icecream so I inquire if she would like a one and what two flavors. She tells me "Dolce-Gabbana ."

This is where I'm headed in Jan. to the Coast Long Beach. We made our resvervations last night and later today were going to get our Amtrak tickets. Woo-hoo, I can hardley wait for time to get here so we GO!

This That Or The Otter.

On Ruben's suggestion I went to see what my name meant at blogthings, instead I found out that I am an otter.

Ahhhh,

Now this is more like it!

Late/Night Coffee

Let's see where shall I begin this woeful tale.... I could start at the beginning, the end, oh! how about the middle that seems about right, this way I could go either direction from there! I get to work, no sign of anyone that is suppose to be ridding with moi! No problem, (maybe I get a break). Someone comes and goes, another someone comes and goes, I finish fuelling the tractor,fine tune the setup and pull out front, do my paperwork. Finally, here he comes. My when we know we are "LATE" we have a tendcy to be NICE!
"Could we pullease stop and get coffee first?" Ok, another ten minutes wasted. It has now been an hour since I got to work. Coffee in hand he climbs back in and says,"There's a bad snow storm all over the nation". I almost inhaled my whole cigarette. Regaining composure I mmhmm.Why encourage him I'm thinking. Then when I feel safe enough to relax a little bit, he blurts;"Do you think that's why the plane went off the runway"? Ok the game is on,"Have you ever driven on black ice"? No I don't think so, why?Well if you'd had believe me you would never have forgotten it. I left it at that, I can not explain to someone who has no clue anyway. The night went fairly well on a scale of 1-10, it was maybe a four. I forgot to mention the best part in all his making noise he finally did it, he woke the dead! At 5:15 a.m. he dropped one box too many and the cutes little black kitty with a white stripe down her back walked directly over to him and let him have it! I was already in the cab and was looking out of the mirror when it all went down. I tried hard not to laugh and was it ever hard not to say "See I told you this would happen." I know no-one will use my tractor today. I need to get rest and get sic for tomorrow. Big big pool tourament at Jillian's, this one is the one that qualies you for the West Coast Challenge in Long Beach Jan.2006.

"Cold, Honney You Don't Know Cold"

This is Lee Vining,Ca. this is where my brakes froze up and I dang near got frost-bite in my feet trying to get the bus mobile and get my passengers to Reno where it was nice and warm. Now that's a trip I'll never forget!!

I'm kinda in a funky mood today, I really should get some sleep. Last night was hell on wheels. My dewonderful delovely deside kick was making enough noise to wake the dead. I enjoy working the g/y shift b/c it is (((((Q U I T E))))))) until my side kick shows up and then their goes the neighborhood!Slam bang over and over and.... I got even with him later on , I put the radio on all talk and over and over the same news . Then he has the nerve to say to me that it's "Cold, I can't work in the cold". I was somewhere between slave driver and furious. "Of course you're cold, you show up do two minutes of work, fall asleep wake up only when I put the air brakes on, oh the lights are bothering you, invest in a pair of sunglasses all the rockstars wear 'em.) What I really said was; "You don't know cold, there are people right now as we work that are shivering in below freezing temps." Where? Let's see pick any state. So he sees this as a game to waste time and stands there in 46* weather shaking like a chicawawa w/o a sweater. Mind you he has on four layers of clothing , I'm in a t-shirt and I can feel the sweat on my temples beginning to trickled down the side of my face. "Fort Worth, me 26*. Evanston, Indiana , me 18. I'm beginning to like this game because I'm impressed he knows real names to real towns.I see him thinking, sifting from foot to foot. "Ok I got one you won't know, he shouts. How much money you got on you, I ask. "Kansas City". 17* Any other questions? We finish up and get back in the truck. The news is doing the weather, I swear you'd think the news people have me wired so what do they report on the low temperatures from around the nation. My worker goes, "You already heard it." Huh? I was out there with you , there was no radio ."

Imagine by John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try, No hell below us Above us only sky, Imagine all the people living for today..... Imagine there's no countries , It isn't hard to do , Nothin' to kill or die for, No religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace .... Imagine no possessions , I wonder if you can, No greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people Sharing all the world..... You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us and the world will live as one.

HA HA HA,

Part III of Whose a Da?

I get home this morning from work and quietly get into bed and try to snuggle up (ok, you know it should be kiss up) for the crimes of passion I have committed the night before. I go to lay my head in the crook of her arm and as my sweet loveable head was about to touch down, her arm moves. My head hits the cold sheet. Sign #1, dog house. I guess here the doghouse would be the fireescape,brrrr cold night out there. I try again same result. This time I get up and go make coffee and bring it back. In my most loving soft voice I whisper; "Here's your coffee". "Is it from Starbucks? I see sign #2 , Doghouse and no blankie.... Now I know this is a game I'm to feel bad but it ain't working cause I know the truth she's the one who don't know when my b/d is, ha ha. I leave the coffee for her and go get my own cup. I finish my cup of java and go to bed (alone) she's gotten up and ingores my presence . So when I woke up a few hours later there's a card and a box of chocolates. The card was very sweet and made me cry, but the chocolates cured that right up. As she's going out the door she says ,"We'll go and get your Christmas present tonight". blank stare.......................

DA Part II

I'm sitting here minding my own business (sorta) when Andrea noticed that someone is a Virgo like her. "Oh look, someone is a Virgo like me." "What?" "She's a Virgo like me." "You're not a Virgo". "Yes I am and have been ever since I was born." "You never told me you were a Virgo, you should have told me this when we were dating." "Would that have made a difference?" My attempt for being a dumb ass is digging me a much bigger hole, right now it 's about the size of the Grand Canyon! So to make this whole mess (worse, I mean why stop now I'm on a roll and secrectly Andrea is enjoying watching the "Master of Idiots" get out of this one. She looks over at our other roommate and asked him,"What zodiac sign am I?" He replies with ;"Well, every since I've known you, you've celebrated your birthday in ahhh, ummm, Septemeber, I think the 14th." (this is the man who forgets to put water in the coffee pot) oh thanks I'm thinking. "You didn't answer the question, "There was a question?""What difference would it have made if I had been a Libra!""It would have changed the present that I bought you, now what am I suppose to do with this book for Libra's?"I pull out the cute little book and show her. Andrea thumbs through it and says as she tosses it back to me,"Guess you'll have to marry a Libra!" She gets up quietly walks across the room and slams the bathroom door. I'm thinking I should get up and beg for forgiveness then it hits me she still doesn't know when my bday is, ok ,I'm thinking sit tight and see what unfolds. A couple of very silent minutes tick by, they were scary silent minutes. Finally Andrea emerges from the bathroom,"So, if I had been a Libra you wouldn't have dated me"? My first husband was a libra, God rest his soul."Yes.""Yes what?""Yes, I would have still dated you(I feel for my knees this hole is really deep);What are you doing?"I'm seeing if I can still feel my legs.""You are Crazy!" YES, I'm crazy about you, and it's not my fault that you changed you're birthday."I did NOT change my birthday, You just don't know when it is admitt it.""Then how come last time your birthday was in May?"My bday was never in May, that's when You bought the mo-ped, remember and that still isn't a Virgo! You are a complete idiot! Secretly I wanted to agree with her but no way was I going to ever agree to duh! "Ok, so now you're birthday is offically in September"." For god's sake look at the calendar, see the circle around the 14th, what do you think that means,hmmmn? "There'll be a full moon on that night?" With that Andrea hugged me and started laughing.

What's your favorite comic christmas song? I have two, "Walking around in Women's Underwear" ,the other one is in spanish, "Where is Santa Claus?" I drive my co-worker nuts when either one come on the radio. You'd think I'd never heard either one ever before, then I make him translate Oh where is santa claus.Well, I'm off to dream land, it's gonna have a nice roaring fire in it. G'night.

Let me introduce you to DA!!!!

So yours truly is all upset because my g/f doesn't have a clue to when my bday is, so I've been oh let's say quiet and just waiting and watching. So today I found out that the horoscope book I bought for her isn't even the month she was born in.................................................................................
