I hit Michael's again

And I'd advise anyone who hasn't gotten all of their Halloween stuff to do the same.

I found these stamps from Martha Stewart
Regularly $9.99 for the set, they're 50% off making them a very affordable $4.99
Of course, who can't use another set of alphabet stamps? huh Jibii????

Thursday, October 25, 2007

Labels anyone?

I found these at the local Staples. $.50 each. Now, I wish I could tell you to run there and get yours, but if you live near my local Staples, don't bother. I cleaned them out.

Rockstar!!!!

I found this "Rockstar" paper from DCWV at a local Michael's.
They'd marked it down to $15.00. I had a 40% off coupon, which they applied to the paper, bringing it down to $9.00 for the full pack.
For anyone who's interested, they also had individual sheets for $.25 a sheet.
This is gorgeous paper that IMHO would go well with alot of the pirate themed stuff I've seen out.

Update on the pens


I stopped by the local Staples last night, they've marked down these pens to $.50 for a box of twelve. If you use the coupon I linked to, that brings them down to $.44 a box. And for those of you wondering, I bought four boxes when they were $.60 a box and then last night, I decided to stock up and bought a total of 30 boxes. But please note, I work in an office that deals with the public. We go through at least a box of pens a day.

for the witch in your life


What witch wouldn't love to have her broom with her at all times?

Get the witch in your life her own broom pen. She'll love being able to show off what a witch she is.
I found these for $1.50 for two. They made really nice pre-Halloween gifts for the office witch.

Kisses anyone?


I found these at Big Lots. Given that the guys I work with will go through more than two pounds of chocolate a day, $6.00 for this big bag is a good deal for us.

Not a bad deal

I'm known as the professional shopper at work. So I thought I'd start posting some of the deals that I get so other's can jump on the bandwagon.


This was today's deal. On clearance at my local Staples. $.60 a box. Which is a good deal all by itself. But if you go here , you'll find a coupon for 12% off, good until October 20th. Now it's not worth going just for the pens. But with Staples literally around the corner from work, and having to pick up some other things while I was there the bottom line of $.52 for a box of twelve, or .05 each, is worth it for a good pen.

update

just to piss Jibiibear off.
Here's an update to my blog.
I suck at blogging, regular blogging that is.

Here's what everyone's missed.
I went to visit Jibii in Australia for three weeks.
We managed to jam about three years worth of stuff in that three weeks.

I came home exhausted and now need a vacation to recover from my vacation.

There.... now I can't get yelled at for not blogging.

I know how to do that!

Chris over at notes from the trenches has a this post up about a new oven. And a couple of her commenters asked how she did it. Was it a slow poisioning, or a quick blow to the top. I know how to kill a stove/oven!!!
This is EXACTLY how my mother got a brand new stove.
1. either wait for the light in the oven to go out, or sabotage it so that it doesn't work.
2. get my father to attempt replacement of the lightbulb in the oven. In the process, he will use (among other tools) a screwdriver. And will remove a large quantity of insulation.

when he's done, you will have no choice but to go shopping for a new stove.

and yes, I'm willing to rent him out if anyone so desires.

I'm a bitch.

Why this time you ask?
Let me give you some back story. One of the girls at work.... Ding, we'll call her, is HORRIBLE at managing her money. In fact, she doesn't manage it at all. More than once, I've been a complete dumbass and bailed her out of some financial problems. But recently was the straw that broke the camel's back.
She got into some serious, really serious trouble. And came to me for help. I agreed to help ( I know what you're thinking Jib, but you'd've done the same). This time, however, I've smartened up a little. I agreed to help her under the condition that she start managing her money.
The look in her eyes.... I actually felt bad for her. She was scared, really scared, and she should've been. She told me she doesn't know how to manage her money.... and that's not news. So, I've agreed to help her manage her money.
I've set up a basic budget, and I'm insisting she stick to it. Despite the fact that she went away on vacation for a long weekend this past weekend. And despite the fact that she'll be away the rest of the week on vacation.
I've had to say no, you can't buy this... no, you cna't have more money... no, you can't spend money on a check you haven't received, hell, it hasn't even been written, so absolutely NO you cannot spend that money.
Basically, I've had to become her mommy. And for now, I'm ok with it.
But if anyone has suggestions for teaching a grown woman how to manage money, I'll gladly take them. And when I say she has no money management skills, I mean if she gets ten dollars, she wants to spend fifty, and thinks that money will just magically appear when she needs to pay her bills.
So yes, I'm a bitch. I say no, when it's better for the person, even if it'd be easier for me to say yes.

Farewell loyal friend










Rest in Peace Reagan. You were well loved, and will be greatly missed.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Bad News

I got some bad news last night. My sister's dog... the gay one, is sick. Very, very sick. They will be amazed if he lives more than a month. He's been diagnosed with cancer in his bone marrow and lymph nodes.

I'm not hoping for a cure, or even an aggressive treatment. All I hope for, is that Reagan have a comfortable last month with the people he loves.

I will miss him.

Light posting

I haven't posted much here because I've been posting elsewhere.
So I have a few random thoughts.....

Karma... she can be a bitch, but right now, I think I like her.
I didn't get to see it, but I hear Beth got some of what she deserves.



I think you should be able to take a vacation to recover from your vacation.



I wish I had more time, patience, enthusiasm, etc. for people.



I miss talking to some of my on line friends, but I'm not sure how to re-establish that friendship.
Others, strangely, I don't miss at all.

The internet is a great place for people to recreate that high school experience. I, personally, have no interest in going back there and have less interest in recreating the clique behavior that I hated the first time around.

M is retiring from where I work. I'm going to miss her no nonsense attitude. And her appreciation of my warped sense of humor.

Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Look who showed up at work today!


It's Sam Waterston, currently of Law and Order fame. Or as he's more commonly known around here, "the Law and Order Guy".

Friday, May 18, 2007

Why yes, I do have a warped sense of humor.

Why would you ask?

Maybe because I found this to be incredibly funny??

Of course, it's only funny because it wasn't me. But isn't that always the case?

Friday, May 11, 2007

ROTFLMAO

We had chinese for lunch today. Always a good choice, quick and easy.
I opened my fortune cookie and what does my fortune tell me?

"Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded"

Think I should hold my breath?

Procrastination

Procrastination, Procrastination
Is makin' me late
Is keepin' me waitin'

(I hope Carly Simon will forgive me for changing her lyrics.)
I'm STILL procrastinating about the taxes here at work. Too bad I can't file an extension on these... or maybe it's not a bad thing. If I could file an extension, I would. Repeatedly.
*sigh* guess I'll see about doing some more of this blasted paperwork.

Friday, April 13, 2007

Need a laugh?

Hop on over to Meeshka's world.
Today, the Queen has posted a funny cartoon. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the Queen herself drew them, or she made her human do it for her.

Passports

Let's talk about passports.
I have one. Have had one for a couple of years now. Had one when I was younger... and given the current state of the world, I'd say I'll have one for most of the rest of my life. No big deal.

The form for a passport here is pretty straightforward. Fill in some pertinent information, address, birthdate, etc. Send in some money and a couple of really bad photos of yourself. And voila, they'll mail you a passport that will let you travel to and from the States at will.

Now you may be wondering what brings up this topic. I was in the post office, waiting in a line that went out the door. And at the counter was a young man trying to renew his passport. Nothing noteworthy there. Except for one thing, the entire process took about five times longer than it should've.

Why you may ask? Because he could not speak English well enough to communicate with the staff at the post office!!!! He is an American citizen. He has a United States passport. But he cannot communicate in English.

Yes... I know.... English is not the offical language of the United States. Too bad. It is the language spoken by the majority of the population here. It is the language spoken by our forefathers.

If I moved to France, guess what? I'd be expected to learn French! If I lived in Spain, you better believe I'd be saying buenos dias every morning.

Is it so unreasonable that people who come to America be expected to learn English??

Photos

I don't know about anyone else, but I always like seeing other people's photos. So I thought I'd post a few of mine. Just some random photo's I've taken and love.





Thursday, March 22, 2007

Look what I found!

I spent the better part of the day searching (ransacking) the office for a particular file. No luck with the file, but look what I found!



And I already have a sucker(ahem, friend) who wants some!

Why doesn't this surprise me??

I don't know if everyone here reads A Welsh View. But if you don't, click on the link and get hooked like I am.

Mr Gale had this interesting post, which just reaffirms everything any of us have ever thought about men.

Dirty Jobs

For anyone who hasn't talked to me in the last... oh... I don't know, four months? This is my newest obsession. I love, love, love this show. I want to sign up a few of my co-workers for this show. We could teach him a thing or two about getting dirty.


work is keeping me offline

I haven't posted much lately because a bunch of things are conspiring to keep me from my blog (not that I have any delusions of being a regular blogger). Firstly, my home computer suddenly doesn't like Google. I can no longer log in to google chat, which really sucks. It can no longer find google.com. Although if I enter google's numeric address, I can get on the site. Google mail, and the rest? Iffy at best, and only if I'm willing to fight with it (which I'm usually not).

Added to that, work has had me away from my desk for almost a week. Which means that all of my 'normal' work surfing had to be put on hold. This has put a serious damper on my online time. I'm extremely fortunate that my job allows me to pretty much surf at will. The down side is that I'm the one everyone comes to to find something online. One day soon, I'll have to do a post about some of my online searchs.

Mir so knows

Mir so knows how evil she is. Don't believe me? Check out this post. Pay particular attention to her last comment... (I really missed my vocation as a drug dealer, you know?) .
Does this sound like someone who has no idea just how brilliantly evil she is? I think not.

Death and other icky stuff

A friend of mine stopped by my desk the other day with some news. His ex step-daughter was just found dead at 24. She leaves behind a mother, a brother, a boyfriend, and a daughter. It was a shock in some ways to everyone. But in others, I have to say, it should've been expected. I intended this to be a rant... and maybe I'll come back and rant about it later. But right now, all I can think is, why? why do people do things that they know hurt the people they love?

Thursday, January 18, 2007

Here Jibii, just for you.

I don't usually do memes. I find some of them interesting, but most of them I find to be repeats of clones of others. But this one had Jibiibear and I giggling the other night.

If you could choose one vice in exclusion of all others what would it be? Swearing, just like Jibii's.

If you could change one specific thing about the world what would it be? I would make Australia a hell of a lot closer to where I live.

Name the cartoon character you identify with the most? I've always loved Gossamer the Monster. One of the "quiet classics".

If you could live one day in your life over again which would it be? this is a hard one... I'm not one to look back much. I guess if I had to pick, I'd pick a day when my grandfather was still alive, and well. I'd like to spend another day with him, the way I remember him.

If you could go back in history and spend a day with one person who would it be? In history? anywhere in history? GAH! Talk about tough decisions. I think I'd like to go spend a day with someone like William Wallace.

What is your one most important contribution to this world? That I haven't yet killed anyone.


What is your one hidden talent that nearly no one knows about? I don't really have a hidden talent.

What is your most cherished possession? I have a ring that was special to my grandfather.

What one person influenced your life the most growing up? My grandfather.

What one word describes you better than any other? Crazy

What is one thing you lost or sold or threw away that you wish you could have back? I didn't throw it away, my grandfather did, but I wish I could have had it. A complete set of Limoges dinnerware.

Mir is EVIL.

Mir, over at wantnot is evil, evil, evil. (Mir if you're reading this, you should know that is the highest of compliments)

For anyone who's never gone over to her site, take a stroll on over to wantnot and check out some of the fabulous deals she's got posted on her site.

Today, she's got me watching this site for their half hourly deals. So far, I've been excercising some restraint. I've only bought a couple of items. But I see one coming up that I think I'll have to pick up.

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Danger Will Robinson, WARNING! WARNING!

Just a warning to all of you. The wise, pretty and wonderful Mir at wantnot has posted another popcorn deal.

And yes, I ordered some more. The scavengers at work should be thrilled. They always end up with the bags I don't like.

The one that started it all

yes, I am obsessed with the California Cow ads. Thanks for asking.
Here's the one that started it all.

How many is too many?

Candles, you might have surmised by my internet persona that I like candles. That would be an understatement. I love candles. I have tons and tons of them. And now I have even more. How many more you ask? ummmmm...... 28 more.
What can I say? They were on clearance. 90% off. That means five dollar candles I bought before Christmas, are now fifty cents. Tins that I eyed before Christmas that were .99 each are now nine cents each. NINE CENTS!! How do you not stock up when they're nine cents each?

What exactly did I get/spend? mmmmm..... I don't have time to get into that right now. But I'll be posting all of what I acquired.

I love, love, love these

I absolutely adore these commercials.

North vs. South

I am a yankee. I have no problem saying that. And while I do have friends who are "rebels", this email struck a chord with me. So read on, and if you have a comment, feel free. I don't regulate the comments here.

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT.
Denver Post: This text is from a county emergency manager out in the central part of Colorado after today's snowstorm.
WEATHER BULLETIN Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" --- with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.
FYI: George Bush did not come.
FEMA did nothing.
No one howled for the government.
No one blamed the government.
No one even uttered an expletive on TV .
Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.
Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.
Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.
CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm.
Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.
No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.
No one looted.
Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.
Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.
No Larry King,
No Bill O'Rielly,
No Oprah,
No Chris Mathews and
No Geraldo Rivera.
No Sean Penn,
No Barbara Striesand,
No Hollywood types to be found.
Nope, we just melted the snow for water.
Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.
The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.
Local restaurants made food and the police and fire departments delivered it to the snowbound families.
Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.
We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.
We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".
We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.
Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.
"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate." It does seem that way, at least to me. I hope this gets passed on. Maybe people will get the message. The world does not owe you a living. In addition, since this was written, Denver received another 2 feet of snow on 12-29-06

My Country

I was born and raised here in the United States. And unlike many, many people who were born and raised here, I try not to take the freedoms we have here for granted. My parents had a lot to do with this. As a child I frequently met people from other countries. Some of them were visiting here, others were immigrants. They all left an impression, which was that this country was in their eyes (and it was unanimously) far superior to the country they'd left. Even those people who just visiting.

I like to think (and hope) that having been exposed to so many different cultures as a child has made me fairly tolerant of others. But then I read an article like this, and I have to wonder if I really am tolerant. My first reaction whenever I read something like that is "if you don't like it, go the hell back where you came from!"

For the record, that's not my reaction to immigrants in general. My parents were sponsors for a family that successfully immigrated from Columbia.

I guess what really irks me, what makes my blood boil is how some (and please note I said SOME) immigrants, illegal aliens, etc. want our country to accomodate (hell kowtow) to their beliefs. At the expense of everyone else's belief.

I guess what I'd like to say to all of the people like the ones that article talks about is this. The United States has been built on a couple of really basic prinicples. Read the bill of rights... you have the right to practice your own religion. But guess what? So do I! And your religion does not take precedence over mine. You also have the right to pursue your happiness. But again, so do I.

My opinion on the Minnesota airport thing is, if your a taxi driver, your job is to take people where they want to go. If you refuse to take a fare, for any reason, then your employer should have the right to fire you. Now, any reasonable employer would not fire a valuable employee for refusing a fare that made them fear for their own safety. But refusing to take a fare because there's a seeing eye dog involved? or because someone brought home a bottle of wine from their trip overseas? To me, that's grounds for firing, and if you don't like it, go back to whatever war torn country you came from and see if you have the luxury of being so righteous, or if you end up being so caught up in survival, that your righteousness falls by the wayside.

Where in the world is Costa Rica?

To continue a theme of the earlier "How did these people graduate" post, I thought I would share a story about someone else at work.

J went on a trip. An all expenses paid trip to Costa Rica. All she saw of the country was the resort that she was booked into (but that's a different rant). When she returned, everyone was asking her questions about her trip and what the country was like. One of the guys asked about where Costa Rica is. J's response? It's near Singapore!!! Singapore!

Let's do a quick geography lesson.

This is where Costa Rica is. It's in Central America. It is possible to drive from the United States to Costa Rica. It'd be a long car ride, but you could do it.



This is where Singapore is. It's over in ASIA! You know, near China, Vietnam, Thailand... all those places.



and in between Costa Rica and Singapore??

That's right... the Pacific Ocean.

Rice Crispie Candle

I tried the lemon sage wood wick candle last night. I have to say, the wood wick does snap and crackle. But I wouldn't say it was like a campfire, more like a small bowl of Rice Crispies. Still, it burns surprising clean (or at least it does so far). And the flame reminds me of the oil lamps that we use at camp.
Would I have another wood wick candle? sure. But not at the price I paid for that one (about $17.00) I'm much more likely to make a few eand share them with friends. I have a few who would love the novelty of a wood wick candle, but would never spend the money on one.

New addition

There's a new addition over there on the side. I called it "new acquisitions". It's where, when I get around to it, I'll post new things that I've acquired. Now, seeing as how I'm a "professional shopper" to most of the people I work with, there's just no way for me to keep that up to date. But I will try and post some of the neater things I acquire. The first is a new candle. The scent I got was lemon sage. It's a nice, fresh smell without being overly citrusy. But what's really cool about this candle is the wick. Instead of the more common cotton wick, this has a slice of what looks to be balsa wood running down the middle of the candle.

Now, I haven't burnt it yet, but supposedly it will crackle like a camp fire. If it does, and still manages to burn fairly cleanly, I'm thinking this might be a new craft project for me.

How did these people graduate?

One of the things I've decided to do is write a little more about what goes on in my work life. Mostly because it's just that unbelievable. Please note, the names have been changed to protect ME. While most of them are not computer savvy, the last thing I need is for them to find this blog, figure out it's me and see what I plan to write about them.

For those of you who don't know, I work in a garage type setting. The exact nature of our business I am not going to mention (at least not yet). But suffice it to say, there's a shop, where a bunch of guys work, and an office where a bunch of women work. It's a mainly male dominated field. And our office is the exception to the industry rule.

It's a family business, where the owner has employed his daughters for all of their working lives. None of them have ever worked anywhere else.

So you can see where I'm going with this and the title of this post.

I honestly don't know how some of the people I work with graduated high school. Never mind that a couple of them have college degrees!

The conversation here in the office recently was about what offices would be open today (for those of you out of country, today is a national day of mourning for President Ford). A couple of us were discussing, would the banks be open, would the town hall be open... etc. D. pipes up with her bank is open. To which we all reply, that figures it's federal offices that will be closed.
Her reply? "so town hall is closed?"
We reply "no, it's FEDERAL offices that are closed".
Next question "so the offices in our state capital are closed?"
at this point I start shaking my head as others repeat "no it's FEDERAL offices that are closed"
D. then asks what that means. We attempt to give her the short answer "offices in Washington D.C. and the post office are closed, you know, the FEDERAL ones"
The kicker is her ending statement about this whole thing. "whatever that means"

Now I don't claim to be a Rhodes scholar. But as I recall, I had to study how my own government works in high school. Hell, what am I saying? I had to study that in junior high and grammar school.

I guess when your daddy doesn't buy your grades you learn things like what the federal government is.

Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger... shame....

Yes, I admit it, I'm a bad blogger. And I should be ashamed. I'm terrible at doing anything on a regular basis. I think that's part of the reason I rarely go to a doctor. I suck at taking meds regularly, so I just don't take any.
New Year's resolutions are also on my list of "I don't do's" I used to try and be like everyone else. I'd make New Year's resolutions... go on a diet, get more excercise, cut back on the swearing, drive slower, be nicer. Then one year it hit me... this is me. If I change the way I behave it wouldn't be me.
So no resolutions from me. But I will attempt to make a few more regular posts here.
