God I love that site!

http://oghc.blogspot.com/

I love it. I love this site. I love love love it. You HAVE to go and check it out - it's linked under my links, but I had to reiterate that I LOVE IT!!!

And it's not kinky, it's just FUNNY....

You'll love it to, I promise.

 

New Fanciness

Ok, so I'm just playing around right now, getting things organized. I totally changed everything, so I'm going to stick with this for awhile. (I was sick of that stupid tan color). I haven't quite figured everything out, like how to get my picture in there - but I think I copied everything correctly, added all my links and all that happy horse shit.

Let's see how this one does for awhile. I can't wait until I'm a big girl and can write my own code and make my OWN template. But until then, I'll use this one.

Happy Tuesday.

ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT BABY!!! GO HAWKS!

That's nice...


I have to say, from all I saw on the news last night and all of the information I've read on line, Detroit has done a fantastic job of welcoming our FINE Seahawks to their city. The hotel they're staying in was decked OUT with Seahawks stuff, they even had a 12th Man flag flying next to the Seahawks flag and the American Flag. I attached an article that's kinda funny on how people think of us Seattle-lites...

The most common question I used to get was "oh my gosh, you're from Seattle, do you know the guys from Pearl Jam?" Yes, yes all of us know them, and we all wear flannel, drink Starbucks coffee, and work at Boeing. ;o) Of course the answer was always, umm, nope, never met 'em. Don't own one thing flannel, I tend to drink drip coffee and I don't work at Boeing. LOL But the one thing they always get right, it rains here. And it rains a lot. And I mean A LOT. But that's what keeps us beautiful!!!!

So, go Seahawks, and thank you Detroit for the fabulous welcome. We appreciate it!!!!

P.S. - the boy called, we're all good and I'm totally over our fight. LOL

Please make rice. I love you!

Please make rice. I love you!

Ran across this site, clicked a button and VOILA it showed up here. Handy indeed. ;o)

Good thing I like her blog. LOL

 

Some stuff

I made some minor changes to my little site... I'm not going to pretend I have the tiniest bit of knowledge about html or writing code or any of that kind of stuff, so I'm just excited that my tiny brain figured out how to just move stuff around, bold it, italicize, that kind of fancy stuff.

I was going to rant and rave again this morning about lots of things, but I've decided that I'm in a grumpy mood, so I'd skip that part today.

So, if anyone has anything funny to say, bring it on, I could use it! ;o)

Happy Sunday!

FUN!


I've been blogging now for a long time. Forever and ever it was just my little space that I wrote down my random thoughts. I wasn't very "consistant" with it, for sure, but when I needed to say something or vent something, my little personal blog was a great place to do it. I always wondered what it would be like if someone actually READ the thing! And people ARE now, and it's VERY fun!

My thoughts on this lovely rainy Seattle morning, at this point, are at the "I need more coffee" stages, luckily I made some.

Last night I watched The March of the Penguins. Let me just tell you it was as good as the hype says it was. It was sweet and lovely and sad and just well, GOOD. It's good for people of all ages, if you have kids, pop it in! They are cute as hell, and I want to have one. LOL - unfortunately my apartment isn't half ice/snow, which means I can't have one. SAD! Those little penguin families go through a lot just to keep their species alive. They band together to protect each other from the cold, and put their differences aside in order for the circle of life to begin and thrive. They are monogomous, at least for a year at a time, and they sacrifice their own well being for the sake of their chicks. And when one loses their young one, they are as sad as if they were human, and it's heart breaking. It's AMAZING to me how these animals do what us humans should do. Band together when times are tough, be there for each other when something horrifying happens, raise our kids with kindness and love and do whatever we have to do to protect not only our own children, but all the children.

I love penguins. Yep, I love each and every one of them. And for all of your mothers and fathers out there who love and provide for your children, I applaud you. It's a tough tough job, someday maybe I'll have the pleasure. ;o)

Happy Saturday!

Men.

Ok, I'm going to preface this post by saying that I really do adore men. I have many many male friends who are wonderful husbands to their wives, fathers to their children, etc. etc. etc. So in general I don't do the whole "male bashing" thing. HOWEVER, there is the rare time when a man will just drive me BONKERS! Now, for those who don't know, I'm not married and as of right this moment I'm not in any kind of serious relationship. So I tend to lean a little harder on my friends (but I pride myself on giving back to them, which is why I've had these friends for the past 20 - 30 years).

So anyway, I have this friend.... ex-boyfriendish type. (We dated a few years ago, and have become close since the breakup. It's been about 5 years now.) So, we had plans to watch the football game together last Sunday. He ended up getting tickets - that cost what $500? So I couldn't afford to go with him, and more power to him. I was vaguely annoyed, but it was mostly jealousy that I couldn't go with him. So, he says "come out with us tonight, we'll have a couple of beers, you can hang out with the boys." I say "maybe". To make a long story short he says "I should know where I'm going in 20 minutes or so, I'll call you back". And ya, 2 hours later, I finally hear back from him. And by this time it's 10:00 at night. Keep in mind, I went home, and got ready to go out. All you women will understand what that means. I stripped off the jeans and t-shirt I was wearing, did my hair, my make up, picked out an appropriate "going out" outfit, all that jazz. So, after an hour and a half of sitting on my couch all prim and proper so's not to wrinkle myself. I got frustrated. I decided I wasn't going, put my sweats on, and laid on the couch like the lazy ass that I am. So when he called, he was actually SURPRISED that I was annoyed. 20 minutes vs. 2 hrs... hmm.. Then he says "I don't remember saying 20 minutes". Well, even so! It was TWO HOURS... So I got the "I'm sorry, I don't remember saying that" speech, as well as the "I don't make it a habit to let down my friends" speech, along with the "I didn't mean to upset you" speech. But not once was there an "I'm sorry" Just a plain old ordinary, I did something wrong, I'm sorry. It was all about the misunderstanding, or the skirt around, or the you're crazy I never said such a thing type, I'm sorry. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone, but WHY is it SO DIFFICULT for some people to just say "I screwed up and I'm very sorry". Why? Had he said that, it would be all over and done with. But as it stands now I'm still very annoyed by the whole thing. I also know that none of my other friends would do that to me. And I know that he wouldn't do that to one of his guy friends (obviously he didn't since he was WITH all his guy friends). So then, I wonder, am I really a "friend", or am I an ex that he can hang out with when it's convenient. That's probably over thinking it, because I am girl after all, but still. I'm not one of his hussies that he can just call when he feels like it. And I hate it when he treats me like I'm one of the 3 girls currently fighting over him. I don't want to DATE him, I dont' want to SLEEP with him, we are JUST FRIENDS. Is it just too hard for men to know the difference? Am I asking for too much from him?

Which leads me to the old question "can you really be friends with your ex"???? Or is it just that some people (not men, just people) find it too difficult to apologize when they've done something they know is wrong. Shoot, I'm wrong all the damn time, I have no problem saying "Hey, listen, I'm sorry that was my fault". (He's famous for turning the situation around, making someone else feel guilty, so that they end up apologizing to HIM - which won't happen this time around, because I literally did nothing... ).

Anyway, am I being too hard on him? Am I overthinking the whole thing? And should I quit comparing him to my other friends, the people who I haven't dated? I don't know. Big sigh about the whole thing. He's a great guy, I don't want something stupid to strain the friendship, so should I just let it go??

Help.

Good morning

Good morning,

Rain rain rain - it's raining AGAIN... But hey at least we had a couple of days of sunshine, it's SO beautiful here when it's sunny. I guess all that rain is worth it. They don't call us the Emerald City for nothin baby!

Wow, I really have nothing this early in the morning to say, and it's PAINFULLY obvious, so I'm going to quit for a bit, see if something brilliant comes to mind, and I will continue this later today.

;o)

Ya ya, I can't help it!!!





In case I haven't mentioned it today....

WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL, WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm actually getting a little bit nervous about it... I mean it's 30 years in the making. It's a huge moment in Seattle sports history. I can't even imagine what they're feeling. Hopefully nothing. I want them to feel nothing accept the pain of practice and practice and practice... the crossed eyes from watching hours of footage learning how to beat them. Then, on that fateful Sunday, I want them mad, mean, and in the "zone". That's what I'm hoping for. Not having home field advantage is a bunch of CRAP. Because with all that, the Seahawks won't have a very important part of the team, and that's us. The 12th Man... And then to top it all off, we are playing only what, a few hours drive away from the opposing teams town?? I think it's crap. We have the best record, we should have the game right here in our little town. Come on, there is coffee for EVERYONE! Need a wireless network connection? We're you're folks! If you want an airplane? Come on down! So what if we aren't "domed"... so what? We have plenty of streets people can sleep on.

Ok, sorry, I went off there for a moment, but it's just because of my excitement for Superbowl. I mean come on, we freakin DID IT! Atta boys, atta boys... ;o)

 

Wow, SAD!


This is so sad. He was a great character actor, and will be missed. The link is above. I wonder what happened?????

SAD!!!!!

 

I hate e-mail


Good morning,

Don't you hate it when you come into work and you're e-mail locks your whole computer up? And then when you start over, it takes 15 minutes to open ONE e-mail? Since our business is about 70% e-mail, it's VERY inconvenient!!!!!

I hate our server!!! I HATE IT!!! Sorry I had to vent, so I did. ;o)

I'll get over it and move on. I did hear from one of my co-workers in California that he's been wearing his Alexander jersey to work for three days in a row now. While the smell may be disturbing to his co-workers, I'm happy that someone from another state is rooting for our boys! YA BABY!!!!!

And yep, you'll hear Seahawks, Superbowl ranting and raving from now until we WIN in two weeks! WOO HOO!!!

Have a great day everyone!

I know, I know


It's been a long time, but honestly there's been nothing worth talking about...

UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL BABY!!! 30 years in the making, and by GOD we finally did it. It was a fabulous game, as a woman, I actually spent the last two weeks, at home watching football!

I'm glad we were able to take Steve Smith and pull him right down off his high horse. He needed it.

We needed. The city of Seattle needed it. I'm SO proud of them, it's CRAZY!!!!!

GO BABY GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You boys did a DAMN fine job a DAMN fine job yesterday. I cannot WAIT for two weeks from yesterday. Never have I been SO excited for a Superbowl (though I watch every year without fail) as I am for this one. The boys did it, they worked hard and now we're going to have to concentrate on what's next. It's going to be a tough game, but as they say the two best teams are going to be duking it out for the biggest title in Football.

GO SEAHAWKS, I KNOW WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
