Defenestrate

Yep......Defenestrate is the word of the day folks. Ever wanna do it? I know I have wanted to but I work in a one story building........hmm........we'll have to work on some logistics of this.

Things are crazy at work right now. I believe Panic Mode is in full swing right now.
I'm just keeping a low profile.....going in.....doing my spiel and getting out.

I need to find an evening activity to amuse me. Any ideas anyone?
I looked at the West Shore Rec Board stuff. Volleyball was pretty much the only option. I think if a volleyball hit my little 'pipe cleaners' there might be breakage. No volleyball.
Golf? I could take golf lessons! Can you even imagine? I'd have to be muted because I'm sure the profanities would be spewing. Ok, no golf.

I need time to think.

Little r vs. Angie

Another great Friday night.......happy hour at the Ale House where I got my butt kicked at the pool table........then off to Harrisburg. McGrath's was cool. And yes, I do remember putting my gorgeous feet up on the table in front of little r's beer! (Mike asked me if I remembered that, of COURSE I remember!)
I got a phone call from MissyB who joined us at the Ale House then left for the night, saying she was bored. So she came over to McGrath's 'since it's not too far from her house' and then we all decide (her idea I might add) to go bowling.......back on the west shore.
Oh yeah- Denise called little 'r' from the grocery store, I think he said it was his first call from someone who was grocery shopping while drunk.......go figure!
Then Swaugs and Ang call from the Ale House.....slightly tipsy and we talk them into coming bowling with us, and they must bring socks and band aids! (Sponge Bob saved my nails!)
At the bowling alley, little 'r's' ego was lost. Angie beat him both games.....there was some sort of bet going on, can't wait to hear what the stakes were! (I'm a little afraid!) I do have to say.......I had the high score on my team the 2nd game, 108. Go Jackie!
We finally found something that Yeager isn't GREAT at. He's great at every other game we play so I figured he'd kick our butts at bowling too, not the case! hehehe

Needless to say........Saturday was almost a total waste for me. Got home around 2am Saturday morning, slept until almost 11:30, showered, hit the mall, came home and took a nap from 4:30 till 7:30......watched a movie and back to bed at 11:15 or so. Slept until 10:30 today and have been doing laundry and cleaning ever since. I figure since it's rainy out it's a good time to take care of the inside for once. I may go pull some weeds later, who knows.

Again, another fun night out with the crew!

Lions and Tigers and TOADS oh Gross!

As many of you know.......I hate toads. I hate frogs. Whatever we have out here I hate them. They are gross, ugly and they hop. 3 strikes.
Anyway......today I'm outside enjoying the 95 degree humidity by pulling weeds, trimming, and spraying RoundUp and I come across a vicious 2 inch long toad. Ugly. He's hiding under my garden hose, within inches of the garage door. So........I start screaming, running into the garage all the while trying to watch to make sure he doesn't enter the garage (because THAT would be traumatic!). So I call Wendy. Wendy is experienced at toad removal from the Hebe's gardens.
I know it's Father's Day and I know she and her Dad are having lunch, but COME ON, I'm having a serious emergency! So I call her and ask her if she will come over and get rid of the toad. Of course, she does. I grab a ski pole......yes a ski pole and she moves him a little. She's all set to just move him and let him go on his own and I say "NO WAY!" He's not going to leave me!
So I grab a bucket, somehow she gets him in the bucket with the ski pole, dangles the bucket on the end of the pole and takes him down to the woods and lets him go. Job well done. She's the best. I owe her! Next time she runs over a snake with the riding mower I will be there for her!

After the trauma........I decided to go swimming. I headed over to my brothers and hung out with Riley in the pool for hours on end. She wore me out. I pulled her all over the place, thew the ball (from the deep end of course) and ran around like crazy for 3 hours. I'm whooped. Then we had steaks, lamb chops, burgers, dogs, grilled veggies, fruit, macaroni salad, brownies, shrimp, you name it, we ate it. Pop-Pop, Susan, Mimi, Bop and Mike joined us for the Father's Day festivities. Shortly after eating I made a quick exit before I fell asleep right then and there.

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there! I hope you enjoyed your day!

baby steps

I'm one step closer to getting the Mustang.

The cutie car is officially sold. The proud new owner will be arriving momentarily to drive it away. What a bittersweet moment.

This weekend I'll have to find some time to head over to the local Ford dealer and take some cars out for a spin. The empty space in the garage is really going to bother me, I'm sure.....so I don't want it empty too long. I wouldn't want the Jeep to be lonely.

Work has been decent this week. 6-6-06 didn't end the world I see, nor did it end our project. 5 weeks until Philly.......should be interesting.

I have a busy weekend coming up.
Friday - Bunko/swimming/drinking/hardshells.....enough said.
Saturday - Scrapping at a friend's house/dinner out with the hub saturday night (I'll try not to hit every bar on 2nd street after dinner).
Sunday - Maggies 3rd birthday party/cake/swimming/food........awesome!

6-6-06

As if I don't spend enough time in Hell? (work)?????? We have to have articles and parties and protests because of a freaking date? WTF. I might go see Damien on it's opening night, you know, check out all the freaks that I'm sure will be out and about.

Today sucked. I can't imagine 6/6/06 being much worse. Maybe I'll go drink some Bloody Mary's or Red Deaths after work tomorrow night. Yeah, that sounds good! (Godsmack is doing Electric Eye right now on VH1 Classic.)

I got the DIRTIEST look EVER at work today from someone. I was standing outside my 'hole in the wall' talking (yes, talking business with 2 co-workers) and, because this "someone" assumes that ANYONE who is talking at work is NOT talking business, I got the once-over then the roll of the eyes and i EVEN got the turned up right side of the upper lip. Ass.

Then...you have to love the people who believe that procrastination on their part is an emergency on my(our) part. Enough said on this or my bp will go up.

The only thing that got me though the day today was my trusty friend the ipod. Today i had some vintage Def Leppard on. No, all you young bucks, I'm not talking Pyromania and after.........i'm talking On Through the Night and before. Great stuff.

Till next time.........
