Waffle Maker!!!

I love waffles!!! Love them!!! I had forgotten how badly I had been wanting to buy a waffle maker until I saw this recipe. Good Lord those look good!!!!

Please keep it to yourself....

I am sitting at my desk this morning when a parent comes in with her teen-aged son and lets me know that she will have to cancel her son's appointment because he has developed a migraine and does not feel well. I don't have a problem with rescheduling the appointment but I am wondering why she did not just call and let me know instead of just coming all the way over here. Was this some kind of "instant migraine" that struck him down as he was walking across the school parking lot or something? I have never seen this lady before but it was kind of like one of those weird moments where you think you know somebody but you just can't place the face. She was super intense and kept on apologizing over and over for having to cancel. Anyway, the lady goes on and on about her son's affliction and how he was so stressed and so on and so forth......... As I am sitting there listing to her go on and on, MY head starts to hurt. I am talking full on tension headache with a total barfy feeling. Great! Now I had the "instant migraine" and it was all the mother's fault. I felt sick for about 30 minutes after she left. She must have had some major negative energy to affect me that way. I feel sorry for her son..... he is stuck with her.

Eight Walgreen's later.......

I was getting low on my favorite shampoo and conditioner so I drove all the way to Walgreen's on Saturday to pick some up. When I got there, they had only one bottle in stock. For some unknown (yet still exciting) reason, my favorite shampoo was on sale for $2.37 down from the usual $9.99. I looked a little closer at the sale tag and in small print it said "final closeout!" Story of my life people, story of my life. Everything I like gets discontinued. I am still pissed off that Secret deodorant no longer makes "Arctic Apple" clear deodorant. I could rant about that one for at least half an hour. I asked the sales clerk what was going on with my favorite shampoo and she said it was probably because the bottle was being re-designed (I love the pink and gold bottle... shallow but true!) So, over the course of the weekend I went to 8 different Walgreen's and now own 12 shampoos and conditioners. Approximately $240 worth of products for less than $60 bucks. I am set for awhile at least. Now I just have to find some place to store it all.

Redneck Tank Top

OMFG!!!!!!!!

How sad and tragic!!!!

It is just like 1976 all over again!!!

The second commercial will creep you out a little bit. They just don't make commercials like this anymore!!! Everything is just too politically correct these days.

Just say no = total bitch

I finally put my foot down and now I feel like a super bitch. About 6 months ago, a new co-worker started organizing parties for every body's birthdays at work as well as an extravagant secret Santa at Christmas. In the past we had always just brought in food and a card and had a little party to celebrate. Now, every time I turn around we are expected to chip in $20-$25 for a gift AND bring food. WTF!!!!!!!??????? I hate to be a Grinch but enough is enough!!!!!!!! I barely know these people!!! I can hardly keep up with all the gifts and wedding presents for friends and family. Anyway, after being asked to chip in $20 for an umbrella (who came up with the idea of buying this woman an umbrella and why does she need such an expensive one anyway??), I went postal and said that enough is enough... if someone wants to buy a gift on their own...fine.... but no more group presents!!!! Now everyone thinks I am a total party pooper and apparently I am but somebody had to take a stand.

Sometimes you can't win....

I have the ability to attract weirdos. I can be in a room full of a hundred people and the weirdest guy in he room is going to come up to me and introduce himself. My sister has the same affliction... so does my friend Roxanne. We are all normal, attractive, well groomed, fashionable women so what is the reason for this invisible freak attractor??? The quandary is how to react to them. I am frequently guilty of being too nice to people which is exactly the wrong thing to be when these types of men are coming on to you. Being nice makes them think that you want to be their friend. On the other end of the spectrum is just flat out being a bitch and telling them to relocate and get lost. This can backfire too because if they really have a screw loose, they can suddenly have a vendetta against you for being so mean. Like I said..... sometimes you can't win.
