realization

I realized something on December 31st

New Years Eve
we were at a friends house..
we turn on the Dick Clark thing.. 20 minutes before midnight
and I realized

GOD I'M OLD

Because I had no fucking clue
who the hell "the Jonas Brothers", "Miley Cyrus", "Fergie"
or "the Plain White T's "were
Who the fuck are these people? And at what point
did I become so clueless??

the only people I recognized was that fossil Dick Clark
and that annoying
bastard Ryan Seacrest..

I guess it's only a matter of time before I start talking about
arthritis... cholesterol medicine... and medic alert bracelets

*sigh*

Oh well..
Happy New Year
kids!

2008 is sure to be thrilling.

xmas highlights

As I stated in my earlier post
My Xmas wasn't too good
with me being sick, and enduring family dysfunction and all..

but I did however get lots of good stuff

here's some highlights...

Digital Picture frame
Courtesy of my mom - I love this thing..

My friend Jo-Ann bought me this showpiece
the shade part holds a candle - It's okay to be envious

My friend Ann made me the greatest
cream cheese brownies in the history of the world
I have some in the freezer but I'm not sharing

Yeah... no
I didn't get this


What was Your Xmas Highlight?

beachy

Narragansett, RI

Yesterday was a beach day...

Just so you know...
I was at Walmart today and while I was in line I noticed
these for 50% OFF
so I snapped this pic for you

You too can smell like Shania

or maybe a gift for that special someone who longs to smell like Britney
(I heard the Britney scent smells like Marlboro's, malt liquor & pork rinds)

Hurry.. savings like this won't last.

My Christmas was total shit
How was yours?

merry

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I'm on vacation next week

I dunno

I hope you all have a slacktastic xmas

And may you all wake up to
a snoopy sno-cone machine under the tree

random find

God asks Peyton Manning first: "What do you believe?"
Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says,
"I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends.
I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans."
God can't help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and
offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, "What do you believe?"
Tony says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the
fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've
always tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields."
God is greatly moved by Tony's sincere eloquence, and he offers him a
seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: "And you, Tom, what do you believe?"
Tom replies, "I believe you're in my seat."

xmas cat

Travis told me to tell you
happy holidays..

6 shopping days left

Well kids,
There's only 6 shopping days left
I know some of you out there may be stressing
on what to buy for friends & family...
Gift giving can sometimes be confusing & difficult

So, I thought I'd give you some gift ideas

No need to thank me.

soap on a rope
this is good for a co-worker that stinks

The Riptide puffy sticker set

Stompers

The Highway to Heaven DVD box set
They will cherish it

Kathie Lee Gifford CD

I'm just glad I could help.
Sincerely,
Jen @ casual slack

package in the mail

This package arrived yesterday
from my bestest pal Angela a.k.a 2fools
for my B-Day

so what - it's over a month late
we all slack

I thought I'd share the contents with you
- you're welcome..

You may remember.. Travis puked the last cat grass
but I have a good feeling about this chia cat grass..
this time things will be different.. I can feel it

Noel dog socks..
I understand if you're feeling envious

Adult-Sized Flushable Wipes
Because Ya Never Know..
I hear these are the new hot stocking stuffer item..

Stolen Office Supplies
Never Disappoint
and the fact that they are generic brand post-its
makes me love them more

This is MINE.. you can't have it

These also were probably stolen from the office
or someones desk

That just makes them even more SPECIAL to me


thanks Friend.

Homer Simpson:
Picture a Day for 39 Years

Leader of the Band

Fogelberg died

I love this song

Don't Mock Me!
okay.. you can mock me
if you want to..



An only child alone and wild
A cab'net maker's son
His hands were meant for diff'rent work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home
And went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love thru' discipline
A thund'ring velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band

My brother's lives were diff'rent
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
When it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And Papa I don't think I said
"I love you" near enough

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs thru' my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band
