Amish Heat Surge?

Have you ever seen the infomercial for the Amish Heat Surge??? Ok, the first time I saw it, I was soooo confused about the Amish selling an electrical heater. I actually had to pay attention to the infomercial to finally figure out that the MANTEL part was created by the Amish. So is there a conflict of interest if they are building a mantel for an electrical appliance? Next question. Are the Amish not allowed to look toward the camera? The Amish guy in the infomercial that is being interviewed about the mantel is turned to the side and looking off to his left. It's not the typical interview style where the person is just looking off the the side of the camera. And the way they show the people who are using the heater...they look back lovingly at the heater and smile...that KILLS me. Anytime I've used an electrical heater, the electric bill went through the roof. So I'm confused on how this Heat Surge is going to save me money on the utility bills? I'm actually more Amish than them because when it's too cold in my house, I wear a hat and scarf. ;-)  Sounds like something I need to "Google".

Poop!

I know this is not a very lady-like topic but some of you know that I have been known to have poop conversation over lunch. Some of you have been part of those conversations! But when you teach preschool, poop is just a huge part of the job. So I have a question...

Why is it that when I change a poopie diaper or poopie pants I gag and dry heave yet when that poop is from one of my nieces, it doesn't bother me? Why is that????? Moms???? Why?

Not that I have that problem now since I am not teaching anymore.

Oh and if this topic made you uncomfortable you need to know that there is a book on the subject...

What day IS it???

I tell ya, this working weekends thing has me all screwed up. I don't know what the hell day it is anymore. I have to say I don't mind having daytime off during the week. This morning I went to the gym and saw Little Old Lady from Bethlehem (LOLFB) and we worked out together. That was a nice surprise until she talked me into doing the stair climber...the actual stair climber. I'm glad she got me on that. I was always scared of it. Still am a little...lol. When I got home I cleaned the house (trying to get some sort of order in my home!).

I noticed that Oreo (cat) was bleeding from her mouth but she does not let me get close enough to figure out what it is. So, I panicked! Got her to the Vet and she's all good now. It was pretty damn funny watching her get out of her kennel when she got home and she was still groggy from the meds. She was walking like a drunk cat. hahahahahah poor baby :)

Ok funny story. I was working tonight at Retail job and I had helped a customer find some pants. He went to try on a pair. While he did that I was off helping someone else find a shirt and I see the guys girlfriend go to the fitting room area and she went in his fitting room. WTF? Well, no big deal I thought until 20 mins go by and they are still in there. He only took in ONE PAIR OF PANTS. LMAO. I didn't know what to do. If I was standing over there when she walked to the room I would have stopped her, I think? I don't know. Never had that happen to me before. I was scared to check the room once they were gone. EWWWWWW! Luckily for me, they didn't leave anything behind. UGH! LOL

My week is already pretty busy, but I have to carve out some time for focusing on writing.

My Lou Friend is coming on Sunday to go out with me and my cousins. Woo Hoo!!!!!!

BTW...I will always use my friend's nicknames...it's more fun that way!

Sunday's post a bit early

OMG, I just remembered a dream I had last night. It was horrible. I had a dream that I was a teacher again and one of the parents came to pick up their child and I could smell the vodka on her breath. She was slurring her words too. So I wouldn't let her take her kid with her and she ended up in the hospital on her death bed. All of a sudden I was at a funeral with a dozen coffins and the husband of that parent was attending but his wife wasn't dead yet. He told me they were not expecting her to live and they were already having the funeral.

Is that wacky or what??? What does it mean?????????????????????????????????????

Today at work when I greeted one of the customers he told me that every time he comes into the store I'm there. He said I must work too much. LOL. I also would say hi to him more than once so it became a joke of me saying, "Hi. How are you today?" every time I walked past him.

So if selling suits does not work out for me, I can always...

Now is the time...

...for me to finish my screenplay (refer to Intro post). So this being added to my list of 2010 priorities: Family, Work, Exercise, Writing. And that is not listed in order of importance. They are all equally important. It is really helpful for me if you leave comments about my posts. This is where I get great feedback from my little audience which inspires me and helps me to organize my thoughts for the script. You can leave comments or check the boxes at the end of each post anonymously so if you don't want your name to show, no one (including me) will know who posted it. Please comment! :) As a reader you are able to witness my writing process! If that interest you...lol

Ok, I have to be at work in an hour....all day suit selling. :)

Now is the time to make my dreams come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are your dreams?

Couldda, Wouldda, Shouldda

Ok...before I get to rambling, I have to make a clarification. Apparently I worried a few folks when I said I got bad news yesterday after my doctor appointment. The two were unrelated. As far as I know, I do not have a life threatening illness. Some of you may beg to differ on that one! Ha! Ha!

Signs that my life is in a bit of disarray have surfaced in the last 24 hours, although I think they've been there all week, I've just now decided to look. The signs are: 1) my bedroom is a mess 2) there is a dirty cup in the sink that I put there 3) House is dusty and last but not least and maybe most significant, 4) I've eaten the equivalent of 1 meal in the past 3 days. Yesterday, I didn't eat a damn thing. I went into self-destruct mode and boy did I succeed at that! It was a little hard to put on my cheery face at work today, but Aimz and Cuz Orange D allowed me to whine to them when I was on my breaks.

My bad news yesterday: Well I'm not going to tell you because it is not something I want to share with the WWW (I'll save the real story for my movie) so I will try to explain via analogy.

I used to have experience in building fires. Sometimes I couldn't get them lit, others were great blazes and some burned for a long time. Now, it's been a very long time since I've built any fires. I thought I was ready to start building them again so I found myself building one earlier this week. Well, I thought I had it lit but found out yesterday that it was too windy and my fire blew out. But not without burning me first. And it hurt! I was so shocked by it that I tried and tried to keep it burning. Even after it burned me. I don't know why it hurt so much because I've been burned before and been okay. It is frustrating that this fire burned me. I wasn't even planning on building it. I think I tried to build a fire too soon. I should have waited for better weather and I should not have expected my first fire to burn well. Therefore, I'm out of the fire-building business for now.

Shouldda gone to the concert.
Wouldda waited to build a fire.
Couldda saved myself some grief.

Soooooooooooo glad the holidays and 2009 are over and I still hate all New Years Eves.
