1/2 Week in Review!

one thing happens
and like magic many things happen
lets see:

"we had a skunk in the trunk
my ac is not working in my car
internet connection @ home sucks
work e-mail down for a entire day
family member having trouble with his son
working out like mad, not losing any weight
family members health issues surround me
forgot to watch "House" my cousin had a role in it
spoke to rudest person in the world yesterday
my toe still hurts"

i know we are suppose to continue on our path
no matter what gets in the way
but i gotta tell ya, i wish the path
was the yellow brick road
cause right about now i would
be the lion running in the fields
to find the courage to complete this week

the good news, it is thong thursday
so lets all let lose
well as lose as it
can be with that damn thong
suck in our asses

which brings me to the inevitable question

how is your week going?

Good Morning Carol! Sometimes life sucks. The good part is that if it sucks, it won't be getting much worse; only better. Your humor will get you through.

Hello, and GET THE HELL UP to Hooter-ville!

whabbear said...

So far, I'd say it's going... so so! I was supposed to be an "innovation ambassador" for NASA starting Tuesday, doing a stint up at Xerox PARC for six months. The deal fell through, because NASA and PARC couldn't come to an agreement on intellectual property rights. :(

Tina~in_ut said...

wow!!! congrats on first Bonachichi~

good morning bear~

Tina~in_ut said...

my week? hmmmmm....it's fine....i think.....busy...all three kids are going to Homecoming this weekend...so they all need clothes and I have to buy corsages for their dates.....Aunt Vera died....but that's a blessing...friend's 12 yr old nephew died as well.....he had epilepsy.....my family is well....well....not youngest...he's home in bed with a fever.....but i really can't complain.....I'm healthy, not weathly, and sometimes a wise ass~

Bear~ I'm so sorry that fell thru~ That's the biggest bummer~

Zona said...

Good Morning Everyone!

CAROL: You sure seem to be having a rough week..it sounds like this is one of those times when that old addage"When it rains, it pours" applies. I sure hope the sun comes out for you soon..until then would you care to share some Happy Blue? :)

My week is going pretty good. I went to the doctor and found out that the swimming helped more than I thought. I lost 13 pounds and my lungs and heart sound better than they have in a while..so that was good news.

One weird thing happened though. My hubby and his siblings inherited his parent's home a couple years ago when his folks passed away. All six of them are on the deed. Yesterday WE got the property tax bill from the state of California. Huh?? Couldn't they send it to one of his brothers or sisters that actually LIVE in California? I know..how about sending it to the brother who still lives in the house? LOL..I guess that would be too easy. Oh well, we'll get it figured out.

Sending you smiles and lots of yellow CAROL and hopes for a much better week ahead. :)

Zona said...

BONACHI: Congrats on FIRST!

BEAR: Awwww maaan that sucks..I'm sorry.. :(

TINA: Good news about your dad in Area 51..I hope your youngest feels better soon.

Zona said...

CAROL: I watched HOUSE..which part did your cousin play?

This flip-flop in our schedule here is a little weird..I made spaghetti a couple hours ago for Mr Z for dinner..and he's eating it now. I wasn't so sure it was a good idea..but that's what he wanted..and I aim to please. Well..sometimes.. ;)

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci...

Happy 1

Yes I must hope the humor gets me thru, cause this thong in my ass is not bringing me any humor.. LOL

bonachichi said...

Zona, congrats on the weight loss! 13 pounds is a lot.

About the spaghetti, somewhere in the world it's supper time. Go for it.

night.owls.sb said...

Whabby..

Wow, bummer is right, so sorry, maybe another program will come up that will inspire you just as much as this one.. and btw, WTF 6:19am? I am still in dreamland at that time..

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

I don't know, but I saw a coming attraction and he was standing by a door and house injected him with a needle in his neck..

My cousins name is David Marciano.

I looked for it on "on demand" no luck, I looked on "hulu" no luck. It will be on foxtv.com in about 8days so I have to wait.. If you can find it sooner please let me know.. thanks!

night.owls.sb said...

Tina..

Well, today your a thong wearing wise ass..

Homecoming.. So Fun, do they still make bonfires @ homecomings?

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Love pasta in the AM especially left over from the nite before and cold out of the refrige..

and

Congrats on the weight loss.. Kudos!

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Forgot to say.. Take that tax bill and forward it right to CA.. pronto!

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, off to work..

Hope all has a good day

:O)

Zona said...

CAROL: I remember that scene! Your cousin had a great story line in that show and he was very, very good. He even brought tears to my eyes..

I'll look for it and if it's on sooner I'll let you know.

bonachichi said...

Carol, I found Season 6, episode 3. Sound about right?

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Congrats on 1st Bona!

Bear, so sorry the deal fell through. I had meant to ask you about it after you told us about it at the bbq.

The whole thing sounded very cool.

My week has been great so far, except I'm a little weary from people asking if we have the swine flu vaccine.

I think the media gets people whipped up into panic mode. I am not saying it is not a deadly virus, but anyone who watches the news will know that the vaccine is just starting to come and they are giving it to kids first (here in this county).

MR. EBJ loves cold spaghetti too, first thing in the morning.

I will try to post more later, gotta get ready for work.

Have a great day everyone!

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!! congrats on 1st bona.

Bummer about your deal falling through Whab...

I agree that humor is what gets us thru the best and worst times. My week so far? I fell and have a palm size bruise on my upper thigh from hitting the nightstand. A HUGE blister on my big toe that I didn't know was there until about an hour ago...
Other than that and not winning the lottery it is going pretty good!

Zona- 13 pounds is awesome!! I am so glad you went and the dr. was able to give you that good news..:)

Hope everyone has a great day. Waving my wing to you tina~ and EBJ (love cold pasta in the morning too).

scirish said...

Carol....Are you aware that when you begin working out you most likely will NOT lose weight? You are gaining muscle which weighs more than fat so the scales may not reflect a difference but you should begin seeing some toning and firming and your clothes may start to fit differently. Don't get discouraged!

scirish said...

Whab...Sorry that fell thru and for such a sorry reason!

Zona...Wow...so very cool!

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Congrats on first Bonachichi!

Well my post in area 51 pretty much says how my week is going.

The rest of the day is going to be an ass deep rut of paperwork for the food bank but I will sneak in some farming time.

Whabby I am so sorry your deal fell throught I know how much you were looking forward to it. (((Hugs)))

Everbody take a deep breath and exhale. I keep saying it will get better, it will get better!

(((Hugs))) to everyone.

No thong for me today I am miserable enough with out ass floss rubbing me the raw too!

whabbear said...

Thanks, Zona and EBJ! Good morning, Tina!

Carol: I had a rare early morning breakfast meeting that got me up before the crack of dawn (and, as you can imagine, Dawn's crack doesn't get me up very often)!

:o

whabbear said...

Thanks, Lynn D and Goldie and Scrishy!

Lynn D: Life sucks sometimes, doesn't it? If you have to floss, use dental!

DeeDee said...

Hello everyone!! And just when you thought your week was bad....lol

Actually I am acting in the capacity of "Zorchina" the great weekend fairy! And I am granting each of you a great weekend! I just wave my wand....blow some fairy dust...and POOF! Your weekends are gonna be so good that I am getting light headed and I can hear my heart beating...

My week has been just delicious! First ....an annual event that I always look forward too....the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book came...and has been put online....they held back this year ....with the economy and all...but the Fantasy Gifts are really cool.....The cupcake cars...and there is this bug art where the artist uses this african beetle and old pocket watch parts and incorporates them into the beetles body under a glass dome....unique? Yes! And the his and hers planes that you can transport like a boat cause the wings fold up!

hers a link....when the page opens just click on Christmas Book...the fantasy gifts are cool to look at...

http://www.neimanmarcus.com/

And like this week could get any better!! I open the paper today and we have a new Chicago style hot dog place in town!!!! Heres the link....its a good story...

http://www.theeagle.com/ ...just click on the lady with the hotdog!

Wonderful week! My baby girl Belle has dug a pit on my back lawn and is rolling in loose dirt.....WTF!!!

HEY!! YOU LITTLE BITCH!!! lets face it...even my drugs aren't that good!

HERE I COME! I'VE GOT THIS FLY SWATTER!!!

Just_Lin said...

Good morning/afternoon, Owls!

Bonachichi Wow! Congrats on being first today! I heard you yelling but I'm moving slow today.

Bear Sorry that plan fell through. Maybe it will still happen at some future date.

Zona Woo Hoo! That's great! Can you tell by how your clothes fit?

Carol Sometimes we're just on a roll and not in a good way. Hopefully, you will have a super weekend to make up for it. I've had a slight cold for the last couple of days. Just enough to be annoying and make me feel like I have no energy. It's just the sniffles, mostly, and today I woke up with a sore throat and my asthma is acting up a little bit. Yesterday, I went ahead and cancelled today's hair appointment and rescheduled for next week. I'm only sick enough to give me the "blahs" but it's not too bad.

Waving at scirish, Tina, EBJ, Goldie, LynnD, and DeeDee.

Just_Lin said...

Hey, DeeDee! Congrats on 25!

Just_Lin said...

I just discovered something that made me feel better. One month ago I got tickets to fly down to SoCal and spend Thanksgiving week with my mom and brother. Round trip tickets, with taxes, cost me $229. If I would have purchased tickets for the same flights today, it would have cost $419! So I feel like I saved nearly $200 by planning ahead. Yay!

bonachichi said...

Have DeeDee's links been certified as safe? I don't know... I'd half expect something to jump out at me.

Zona said...

CAROL: We got a message from Mr Z's sister this afternoon while we were asleep..she is in charge of paying the taxes and insurance on the house while their brother lives there. She said she has no idea why the bill came here, but we could just pay it and she would reimburse us. Actually, that only solves half the problem..the other half is WHY did it come here in the first place? We are going to take your advice and overnight it back to her. The whole situation is just goofy.

BONACHI: DEEDEE's links have always been verrrrry interesting.. :)

GOLDIE: OUCH! I'm always getting those big ol' bruises. Not fun. Have Mr G kiss it and make it better..it works! :D

Zona said...

SCIRISH: It took 4mos to lose that much though. My doctor said the same thing you did about toning..he said he could see the change in my upper body. Well..phooey. Guess it's time to start winter walking! :)

LYNND: I hope you've found some time to relax. I've been saying prayers for you..

DEEDEE: Thank you in advance for the wonderful weekend! :D Please don't swat Belle..she's only looking for treasure..you shouldn't have let her see the NM catalog.. ;)

J/LIN: Planning ahead did work for you..congrats on $$ saved! As for my clothes..my jeans are a little looser..but not 13lbs worth. I'm trying to figure out just where I lost this weight..maybe my arms? ;)

EBJ: Who knew cold spaghetti was such a taste treat.. ;)

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi...TINA: I just read the blog from yesterday and am so glad to hear about your dad. That is wonderful news. It is so nice to hear positive health things related to anyone but especially parents.

My WeeK: Well, it is going okay after my rant and rage at MR D on Tuesday AM. I got over it and am not grouchy anymore. I leveled up a number on FT, it's snowing here, I spent yesterday having lunch with my two GD's and one Grandson and then the rest of the day and evening with the girls. I am going to see Wicked tonight with two girlfriends..so all in all...a good week.

ZONA: Congratulations on the weight loss. All that swimming and then the "exercise" that you add to the swimming. It's not that cold is it? Put on a wet suit.

BEAR: Sorry you didn't get to do that new position. I am sure they will be on the watch for something else down the road for you .....how could they not, as smart and dedicated as you are to the position?

CAROL: I think that skunk deal just set off your week and every time you get a whiff..it brings it all back even if you are smelling the tomato juice. :)

We are in baseball playoffs and they are saying the next game here (maybe Sat=don't know) the temp will be 22 degrees. They have the field covered because of the snow. Sounds more like football weather.

Well, time to get ready for the evening.

LYNND: I also wanted to say that I put you in my prayers last night that everything will work out for you and husband.

bonachichi said...

It's almost..... FRIDAY!!! WaHooooo!!!

I know it's been a sucky week for a lot of you; my empathy goes out to everyone. Whab, if anyone deserves a plum assignment, it's you. Hopefully what comes next will be better.

Just_Lin; I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but does the "found" $$ made a little less awful?

Diane; I'm happy to hear Mr. D will survive this round of FF.

And Carol. Breathe some of that sweet smelling air, then tell yourself how lucky you are that your skunk hunter "only" got it in the car.

A happy Friday eve to all!

goldie said...

Good Evening Hooters- where are you? For once I check in at night and no one is here....

But that said- Bona is right- it is almost Friday!! YEAH!!!!!!!

Staying home and nesting again this weekend. Oh, and you know those 6 month extensions you can get on doing your taxes? Well- I guess I better get cracking, my accountant says I have to get them to him by Monday. Drats- time to face reality.......lol

Good night dear feathered friends- see you all tomorrow and happy dreams.

night.owls.sb said...

My goodness did this nite go by so quickly.. Greys and Project Runway all in one night, that is a perfect night for me..

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Thanks for finding House for me, I will watch it over the weekend, unless I have time tomorrow nite..

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

Goldie..

Wow that 6 months went by quickly.. ya better get crackin on those books..

night.owls.sb said...

Scirish..

Thanks for your efforts in making me feel better.. but I think if any muscle is building up it is turning to fat, cause I know those cupcakes I had last nite went straight to my muscles.. :O)

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Oh my, so glad you are not writing the check, and glad you are sending them the tax bill.. Do you think they changed the address where the tax bill should go to? On all my dads
properties the tax bill always came to my house even tho the properties where in different cities.. Maybe you should check that out.. There should also be a website for your state that will show the house and what taxes are paid on it and where the bill goes to. These records are made public so anyone can view them. I always check our taxes on our NJ website.

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Correction.. for the state the house is located in..

night.owls.sb said...

J/L..

Good for you, it pays to plan in advance.. I love when someone saves money, it makes my day!

:O)

night.owls.sb said...

I was typing away, and just realized I am alone... kinda eerie in here all my myself..

Hellllllloooooooo!!!!!!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Ya know I kept my thong on in honor of Thong Thursday, and I now have a numb ass crack..

Lynn is right, flossing with the
thong is really not what its all
"cracked" up to be...

night.owls.sb said...

HA!

I crack myself up..

:O)

CAROL: I just checked out the county website..curiouser and curiouser..our address is listed next to "Owners"...hmmmm...I can't figure out what the heck is going on. My sil said that she is going to check it out tomorrow.

DIANNE: I could just see me putting on a wetsuit..omg..lol..getting it off would be even funnier.. ;)

EBJ: Congrats on 50 :)

Gotta go check the livestock and crops..oh and I better give the flowers a once over too..and then off to bed I go..Good Night All..Sweet Dreams!

whabbear said...

Nite, Zona!

Dianne: Glad to hear you and Mr D survived your meltdown!

whabbear said...

Carol: Please! This is not the "Story of :0" !!

whabbear said...

Bon and Diane (getting caught up on all the comments from the bottom up): Thanks! I'm disappointed, but now just want to get back to my regular job...

whabbear said...

Going all the way up to the first comment:

Bon: Is that where Owl Manor is located?

Perhaps we should change the hyphen location to read "Hoot-erville"!

Or "Hoo-terville"! LOL!

Just_Lin said...

Bear What do you think about the rocket they're crashing into the moon? I see there's lots of folks camping out to watch it on a big screen.

Mary/MI said...

Here I am posting late again!
Yesterday I was packing a "hoodie" to send to a friend when I noticed a snag on it, took it back and started to pack it tonight when I almost had a stroke! Two droplets of BBQ sauce from my apron (pork chops) somehow landed on the hoodie! oy vey!
We went to our tax lawyer today to try to get the $4,000 the IRS mistakenly took from us. We have been fighting it all year. They agree, but we have to jump through hoops to get it back!
When I get stirred up I look for something to do to distract me... I cleaned out my bedroom drawers & cooked a big meal.

Whabby~ You have a great attitude. Piss on them! Their loss :)

I spent too much time on FB tonight. I think I have crossed eyes!! Nite all!!

Just_Lin said...

Good night, Mary!

I smell a skunk and I can't blame Carol's dad for it.
