Kinoki Foot Pads

Two weeks ago at work, this guy says "google kinoki footpads'', i said 'no way', then after reminding me that he's in the process of doing my review......i felt compelled to do it.

You have to do it, it is freaking hilarious.

Go to buykinoki.com

It's gross, but it's freaking hilarious that people would even buy this stuff.
The person who showed me this can't sleep well at night and watched an infomercial on it. Dumb.

I would like to try them just out of sheer curiosity!

Stolen Trash Cans ....and Other 'Items'

OMG.........a weekend away with the girls was exactly what I needed!
I laughed so stinking hard it wasn't funny....I took the 4th annual trek down to CM for 'scrapapalooza'......We left here at noon on Thursday and got back around 6 on Sunday.

We were there 9am until 3am two days in a row. Ugh.

No sleep, well about 5 hours each night beginning at 4am....eeeeeeeeeeek!

The chicks behind us stole Wendy's trash can Friday night and after a few beers I thought she was going to let them have it. We think they also stole some PJ's but that's another story.

In return, I spotted a 6 pack of Stella, unopened, hiding in the bushes outside the hotel....leave it to say that the 6 pack was minus 3 beers by the time I left at 3am. hehehe.......thieves!

To give you a little idea of what went on, here are the texts I got:

1. trash can thieves r in the bar
2. have to beat them back up stairs
3. Dont use upstairs bathroom, i just went and there were strange noises and not from me.
4. guarantee it stinks, i used downstairs
5. omg, we have a young anna nicole down here with her DADDY
6. Your beers are still in my purse. I'm a thief.

That was all I could handle. I was laughing so hard people were starting to look.

I did get tons of stuff done and had a fantastic time! I will be supplying 'depends' for my friends next year. At least I didn't have to beg them to wear breathe rights this year!

Today the buzz wore off...........back to work. Back to insanity. Moronity (i'm still planning to start the moronity.com website!)

It will be a miracle.........

If I make it through this job without killing someone, telling someone off and NOT be kidding about it, or even swear at someone to their face.
I don't understand how some people slide through their worklife knowing nothing, doing nothing but getting all the credit in the world for everyone else's work. Unbelievable.

As far as Raging Waters........I got to eat at work today listening to someone discuss the help their parents need with day to day hygiene........omg. I feel for the person, that their parents are in need, but for the love of god go into a conference room for your half hour personal calls! Or at least don't SHOUT into the phone like you are on a long distance call to China while attending a pro football game you moron!

I'm currently researching other employment, self employment........

What a Week

What a great week………Valentine’s Day was so nice!
I had a nice lunch, roses delivered to me at work, a FANTASTIC dinner at one of my favorite places in the area, then off to Hollywood! (You know the song….’Hooray for Hollywood….’) It was a great day.

Worked sucked, but the rest of the week was great!
Dinner with friends on Friday, then beer and bowling on the Wii. I love that thing. Oh…..I racked up another K.O. on boxing too! Hehehe………

Saturday was ‘game night’ at my house. The Hyde clan was over for food, drinks and games. Freaking hilarious I tell you. First of all, there were 13 people there and enough food for 26 people. I made soup, bread, 2 dips, I had chips, crackers, pretzels, snack mix, beer and wine. Then the clan rolls in with fruit salad, pumpkin pie, mac and cheese, a ham, 2 dozen rolls, more chips, dips, veggie tray, peanut butter dessert, coffee, wine, oh I know I’m forgetting stuff, but you get the point. Dave did the obligatory sleeping on the couch while the rest of us yelled and laughed for a few hours in the dining room. I had a great time. Thank you everyone for coming!

Sunday………ahh……Sunday Brunch.
The Hershey pantry holds their Sunday Brunch across the street at Events Etc. and let me tell you, it’s every bit as good as the Hotel Hershey. Dan and I stopped in for brunch on our way to the Coach store for part 3 of my V-day gift, or was it part 5 or 6? I’m not sure. Anyway, brunch kicked butt. Too bad Coach didn’t. No pink purses! Ok, they had 2, but they had brown straps. Ick. Who wants a nice pink leather purse with brown straps? Not I said the fly. So we moved on to the record store where I purchased Lenny’s newest CD for $12.99. Love it.

Next it was over to the Harrisburg Mall to see if Macy’s had anything good. They didn’t. But we did see Larry Foote. Woo who! I had to ask the lady beside me who it was that everyone was making the stink about. LOL
Well……nothing at the mall. Dan asked if I felt ok because I hadn’t purchased a single thing except the CD all day.

Next stop, Wendy’s! Wendy’s house that is. Had to drop off some pictures for her to take with us this week to scrap-a-palooza. Hung out with Wendy and the doggies for a while then off to Dad’s for dinner. Susan made Moo Goo Gai Pan and it was out of this world! We loved it!
Thursday I’m leaving with Wendy & Cindy for our weekend in Cape May.I can’t wait. I have lots of pictures from the past few months to scrap so I’ll be a busy little bee…….stay tuned for next week. I’m sure something insane will happen while we’re there. We’ll get locked in the place again? Snowstorm? Who knows.

Thursday at the Theatre

Dan and I went to Hershey to see Spamalot on Thursday. It was hilarious.
I never really got into Monty Python all that much, but I've heard quotes from it over and over for the past years and I had to laugh. A friend has a cousin who's in the show and he finagled front row balcony seats for us. Superb. The show was hilarious.

Friday was my crazy-mixed-up-social-schedule-faux-pas.
Totally forgot about Bunko, made other plans, ugh. Anyway.....I went to both.
Boston Creme attended Bunko with me where I won for the most losses....go figure.
Then off to Dan's house for the get together that I arranged and completely forgot about.
The Captains on Acids were pouring freely and a certain individual was rather trashed and leaving me voice mails asking where I was, when I was coming over, etc. etc. At least she didn't sing "Oh Playmate......" to me this week!

A few hours of Wii bowling and boxing, a little PS2 Karaoke, a few drinks and I was ready for beddie bye.

Today I did a mountain of laundry, cleaned the kitchen and I'm off to the movies at some point tonight. I was delighted to wake up at 10:30ish and see snow! Although it's gone now, it was great while it lasted! I feel a blizzard coming soon.........check the farmers almanac. Last year on 2/14 we got a nice snow, maybe we'll get it again this year!

Have a great weekend.

2 Cities in 5 Days

Last week I trekked down to the city of brotherly love for drinks, Mexican food and Lenny Kravitz. (Here's where the three little letters come in...) W O W
He rocked the house. It was far better than I had anticipated. I was quite impressed!

I was also quite impressed with the 'coin toss' we won against a total stranger in order to grab pretty much the only taxi in the area in order to get back to the parking garage. Note: "Total stranger's" girlfriend was none to happy about this.

Oh, and our driver does a mean circle around city hall! Across four lanes of traffic, cutting of the big white caddy only to hear "I wonder how long Market Street has been one way that way??" I almost died. 90 years was my answer.

I did learn, that getting home at 2am and being at work by 8am is not as easy as it was when I was 22.

Friday I attended a 'party' of sorts at another friends house. The hostess did a great job of masking her drunkedness at just the right times.

Saturday I went to Baltimore for a friends birthday dinner. We ate at a FABULOUS joint called Ixia. Pretty swanky place. The food was superb and the comany was great. Happy Birthday dear friend!

Sunday............Chocolate Fest in Hershey. OH MY GOD.
Outstanding. I had 3 glasses of champagne and about 30 'chocolatey' appetizers/desserts/whatever they are called within an hour and a half. I was stuffed.
Needless to say........I needed to exercise so I took a nice vigorous 50 minute walk.

After my walk, I figured it was time to watch football and eat again. Homemade chili, salad, chips/salsa and various other snacks.........and beer. Yum.
Yeah, I know everyone is shocked that I said "watch football'', but I actually did watch most of the game. A friend who doesn't really love football either was there with me, so I chatted with her most of the time and read the paper, but I was in the same room as the game the entire time. That was a first for me! Oh! And I cheered like crazy when the Giants won! (Sorry Creel)

This week I get to baby sit the Satan sisters for an evening. That is always a great time! My little neices........too adorable.

Next week I'll update you with the latest Raging Waters stories, god knows there are enough of them over the past year or so. I've heard all about adult diapers, car appointments, kid appointments, weaseling her way into hair appointments, nail appointments, AND I think I even learned how to do nothing, look busy, get everyone else to do your work AND get the credit for it when it's good and have others take the blame when it's not good. She's an encyclopedia of information let me tell you.
