Thanks y'all!!

So, all I can say now that it is a new week is, PMS can change your life. One week a month, 12 months a year. Isn't that what the Army Reserves say? Something like that? Anyway, feeling more the thing now and decided to come back for more blog type fun. Not that I have anything good to say except that I found out that Johnny Carino's totally rocks!!! Went there Saturday night with SIL and friend and we had a blast!! The food!!! The drinks!!! The silliness!!!

It was great!

Other than that just been working and sympathizing with the hubby who is suffering (greatly and loudly I might add) with a (way worse than average to hear him tell it) head cold. I hate to be overly optimistic (hmph!) but I think he'll survive. Just don't tell him I said so.

Also, why can't I cook like the people on those fabulous cooking shows on the food network? Other than not having the perfectly stocked pantry and the fabulous cookware and tools and several assistants and the perfect ingredients and the budget and the know-how and the talent, I mean. Anyone?

Ok, I'm off to eat the fabulous dinner prepared by the suffering hubby (I know, the martyrdom!) because he roused himself enough to slap some pre-pattied burgers on the grill (that aforementioned fabulous SIL gave us) and flip them once or twice. I must remember to positively overflow with gratitude and awe at his willingness to sacrifice and endure in order to grill.

He's so funny! X-D

So, yeah I'm still here. Sorta.

So, I'm sure you have been wondering what sort of rock I've been hiding under and the answer is: "a heavy one."

I can't say I haven't been busy, but I can't say I've not had other reasons for not talking.

For whatever reason I haven't been my usual ebullient self lately. I've run the gamut from merely not being in a social mood to being downright depressed. I've been hiding in my house and not really wanting to come back out again.

I don't know if it is all the transition at work, the strange changes in the weather or PMS or what have you. I just know that it's been strange and continues to be strange. In the past when I've had moods like these they came and went rather rapidly. This one isn't for some reason and there's no cause I can put my finger on.

I guess all I'm trying to say is that as my blogging buddies, I want to make sure that you all know that I'm not mad at anyone and I continue to read your blogs and they continue to entertain me and make me smile. I'm not avoiding trying to avoid any one person but rather ALL people while I try to figure out what God is trying to tell me.

So if I don't post for a while know that I'm still here, I'm just taking a breather.

Thanks!

Oh if only it were a dream.

There are rare moments in my life, especially since I started blogging, when I am utterly shocked by the lack of taste, class and/or common freaking sense when looking at other people and the wardrobe choices they make. You've all seen the sites on my blogroll, you know what makes me laugh. I've just recently found a link to a retail site that actually made the blood drain from my face a little. Wanna experience it?

I seriously got a little sick to my stomach. I am warning you now, I do not consider this site appropriate for children of any age.

That includes husbands.

A little linkage for you...

So, some of you are familiar with Brian Sack whose blog "The Banterist" is linked on my page. Some of you may even know of the ebay ad that he placed selling his leather pants. There have been a few ads since and they've all been funny, but not as funny as the pants one. Either way, here is his latest item for sale:

Check it out and see if you need it, or just find the ad humorous as I do.

I've decided on a whole new hatred.

So, as most of you are aware, there is a huge amount of road construction in this area. I understand the need to work on the roads around here as they are a total train wreck. I want to go on record now as saying that I support obediance to the speed limit signs posted in construction zones. I also support caution and prudence while in said zones. However........

There are some people that drive on these roads who are either bulldozer-phobic or have severe butt-pucker moments over the idea of getting their car dusty. I always seem to get stuck behind the dip-smack who thinks the proper etiquette for traversing a construction zone is to alternately pump with amazing vigor the gas and brake pedals. This causes me to enter a state of mind that I like to refer to as "homicidal." While I appreciate that they are probably having fits at the idea that dust will mar their previously unblemished paint job I can only assume that they must be shitting bricks at what their ass-monkey driving is causing the Starbucks in the cupholder to do to their car's interior. They will, of course, blame said damage on ODOT (Damn these shitty roads, they should do something about this!!) and continue on their merry ways, living happily in the dreamworld that includes such amenities as room service, OnStar and get-out-of-ticket-free-for-ass-monkey-driving cards. Not terribly realistic, but it seems to suit them. I have recently been informed that they are now card-carrying members of a political group attempting to lobby on Capital Hill. I can appreciate their initiative, but their methods......well, you decide.



I'm just not sure they'll get any ballots passed this way.

Makes for a nice photo op though, don't you think?
