Morning Coffee
The following is
my conversation with
the Tim Hortons lady
this morning - verbatim!


Lady: Hi can I help you?

Me: Hi, can I get a medium hazel nut iced coffee,
milk, 2 sugars on the light side.

Lady: Sure

*long pause*

Lady: OKay you wanted that dark?

Me: No Light

Lady: Light with cream

Me: No Milk

Lady: No Sugar?

Me: TWO SUGARS

Lady: Did you want a flavor?

Me: Yeah.... hazel nut!


WTF???

Nobody Ever Listens to Me.

We had a walk way put in on the side of the house
the guy came to give us an estimate
we told him what we wanted and where we wanted it

He asked me
"Do you want it right up against the flower bed?"

My Reply: "No.. I want it out from the flower bed because
I'm going to put mulch on both sides of it."
(I then proceeded to mark in the dirt where I wanted it.)
"So I definitely want it in the middle not against it"
Landscape Guy: "No problem"
He scribbles stuff down on his notebook

We stood around, talked about pavers etc.
I then repeat that fact that I didn't want it
right near the flower bed.
He nodded. He totally understood what I was saying.

Landscape Guy: "Okay, this is easy,
I'll probably do it on a day I can fit in a small job."
"I know exactly what you want, so one day you'll go to work and
when you come home it will be done"

Fantastic!

We call a couple weeks later to confirm
he told my husband -
"I got it all written down, everything you want
I have all the measurements, I'll try to do it this week."

I even put markers on the ground where I wanted it.

Tuesday morning I go to work
I come home and the walkway was done

Now look at the picture.

Do you see where it is?
Does it look like it's away from the flower bed?

Do I speak fucking english?
Do I have a speech impediment I'm not aware of?

I don't understand.

WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?

fall fashion

I got my hair cut yesterday

I was sitting in the waiting area
and these are the reading materials
I had to pick from

COSMOPOLITAN • ESSENCE
HARPERS BAZAAR • ESQUIRE
AND SOME BOOKS WITH BAD HAIR CUTS

*sigh*

I reluctantly went for the Harpers Bazaar
I believe it was the naked Britney edition
Anyway
I'm flipping through the pages
bored out of my mind
then I see this picture and
the headline was something like "fall fashion"

HAHAHahahHAHAhahaHAHHAA
Are they kidding?
I'm all set with fall fashion. Thanks anyway.

I ripped it out of the magazine
when the receptionist turned her back...
She was tearing some paper at
her desk so I tried to rip in tandum with her.
Not to be noticed.

I had to share it.
No need to thank me.

*Warning- May Cause
Nausea and Vomiting

I'm not a shoplifter

we went to
Dick's Sporting Goods
Yesterday

Dick's has these "reward cards"
You get points when you buy stuff, then they send you
gift certificates after you spend about 9 trillion dollars

Anyway,
I couldn't remember if I had gotten a new card after I moved
So I asked the cashier if she could tell what address
was on my card
Her reply: "oh, I dunno"

Okay, I'll just open a new card under my husbands name
Then I asked: What if I did change my address already and
I forgot, and my husband opens a new account with the
same address.. will that cancel my old account?
Her reply: "oh, I dunno"

Okay, thank you, you've been very helpful.

So I just fill out my new card, I pay for my stuff...
We head out the door and the alarm goes off. Now I'm aggravated
The 16 year old store manager with bad hair comes running over.

I have the "I'm an annoyed customer look on my face"
He starts to go through the bag my husband holding

I glance down at my bag - and happen to see a shirt that I had
draped over my arm that I totally forgot to put on the counter and pay for.

oops.

I held it up in the air and said.. oh maybe it's this shirt that I didn't pay for
He looked at me... I looked at him...

he gave me the "yeah, right lady" look.

My reply: I forgot it was there, I was so involved with the
"dicks card sign up procedure"

He said no problem.

They totally thought
I was a shoplifter.
I could feel it.
It's painful when a sixteen year old manager
gives you accusing stares.

Not a good story.. but a story none the less.
Like I said, I had an uneventful weekend.

This morning I noticed that the Today Show

concert series was featuring "KC & the Sunshine Band"

I immediately thought to myself...
"If KC & the Sunshine Band was in my backyard
having a concert I wouldn't even turn my head
to look out the window..."

Yet there were probably tons of people in New York City
that had been there since the night before
in order to get a "good spot" to hear the one hit wonders
play their shitty song
GET DOWN TONIGHT, THAT’S THE WAY (I LIKE IT)

I have 2 questions
1.WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?
2.DON'T THESE PEOPLE HAVE JOBS??

But I remember the old way of figuring out

You take the name of your first pet

Mine would be
BRANDY LEWIS

Super Mario Brothers 3
Fact: This was one of the greatest
video games ever created

I use to play this game until my eyes were bloodshot
and I had no feeling in my fingers.

I could go all the way to the end & save
the princess on my first try.

If I played it now
I probably wouldn't last 30 seconds
that makes me sad.

I hate when that happens.

I watch a few minutes of the today show

I don't get it.
Can someone explain this to me?

He annoys the shit out of me....

What kind of 'Smart' are you?
take the quiz

the Slack is Apparently "Street Smart"

You're street smart.
This type of intelligence is very closely tied to being 'socially smart'
- your intelligence comes from a high amount of applied education
- you've learned, and continue to learn, from your environment.
You know the ins and outs of real-life situations,
and could probably talk your way out of a fight better than
any of those theoreticians could.


40% applied intelligence
60% learned intelligence

I must have one

I want one of these for a pet

and I want one now!
go watch this!

just a thought

I went to the Dentist Yesterday
He said I do an excellent job brushing...
I do a fine job indeed.

I was rewarded with an oral b tooth brush.

But I think the reward should be something better
like a box of hostess cupcakes
wouldn't that kick ass?!

I think after you pay to have you gums scraped with a
metal hook for 20 minutes - you deserve a better reward

If I ruled the world - things would be different!

I can sum it up in one word for you
the same word I have seen on many blogs
DISAPPOINTING

okay here is the slack review
The Action scenes were incredible, everything looked great.

Superman (Brandon Routh) - Overall I liked him
and I thought he did a good job. He did look too young.

Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth)- I think it was totally miscast
she sucked so did Cyclops (James Marsden) as her boyfriend

Jimmy Olsen - Weak

Lex Luther - Spacey was great!

Oh and don't get me started on the "super boy" thing
The entire movie I just wanted to hold him down and
cut off that rats nest on his head
thankfully he didnt have that much dialog
or else I might have had to leave the theatre
It almost ruined the movie for me
At one point Superman wakes up from a coma
because jr. kisses his forehead - are you kidding me?!!!
It made me nauseous...
I should have brought one of those airsick bags
you get on a plane.

I realize the superboy thing could have been much worse
and way more annoying and I am thankful it wasn't
But still... it was lame none the less.

Also, Everyone has been complaining that it was too long
I didn't mind that it was long, it went by fast to me.

I didn't hate it - But I think it could have been much better.

This has been a slack movie review.
