New Blog

I've started a new blog..dedicated to my Kitchen Concerts. Let me explain. After dinner is done and it's my night on KP duty...I love to pop a CD into my Bose Wave and lose myself in the music while I engage in what is usually quite a mundane chore. I find that while listening , dancing, and singing to my favorite music...I actually LOOK FORWARD to this task. My family clears out because I usually crank up the volume to 50+ and I ALWAYS listen to the entire album.

Tonight's Kitchen Concert

Blues For Allah - The Grateful Dead



Was so thrilled to get my latest order from Amazon. 2 Dead CD's... The one playing as I write and Terrapin Station. Both later installments by the Dead. I didn't start listening to the Dead until the later 70's..then did my damndest to make up for lost time in concert attendance. Saw some great shows and had a fun fun time being a "Dead Head". The tunes still bring me back to those halcyon days.................................

NOT George Carlin's New Rules for 2006

As some of you may know, I check many MASS DISTRIBUTED emails I receive on SNOPES.COM, even when I know most are not true...I like to see it there on the web. This one is no exception...don't know who wrote it..we know Mr Carlin didn't..anyway I thought it was funny..thought you might too.

NOT George Carlin's new rules for 2006

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout?

New Rule: Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bastards.

New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're gay. If you're a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we're done. New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket — water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop f***ing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," ooh, you're a huge asshole.

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you spiritual. It's right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to "beef with broccoli." The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They're already doing that. It's called "The Howard Stern Show."

New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go nuts and eat two. New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version of looting.

New Rule: and this one is long overdue: No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can't even tell if he's supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. don't want to be on your webcam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese. And I didn't really care in the first place.

Good News Lately

We are once again blessed with a new grandchild. My step daughter gave birth to her 7th child last week. Baby Jude was delivered at home with a midwife in tow. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our 17 year old daughter is graduating high school in May. This is great news as it's been a bit of a tumultuous journey navigating her adolescence. She plans on community college in the fall. We're so proud of her.

Baseball season has once again started. I never was a fan until I moved to FLA and the Marlins won the world series..I was there for all the home play off games and the winning series game. I never experienced anything quite like that night. It was one of the most exciting events of my life. Even though the Marlins will more than likely leave South Florida by 2010..they have given me a true love of the game. I guess I will be courting other teams after that final season here.

Just feeling generally good lately and thought it would be wise to count my blessings.

It's leelee!!

This is me!

Political Quiz

I found this fun and interesting. It's a short online quiz

The World's Smallest Internet Quiz

My results:

The political description that
fits you best is...

.

CENTRIST



CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government

control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on

the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention

and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.

Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind,

tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what

they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.

I couldn't agree more

COBRA ll

Heard a great show on Diane Rehm this morning..

http://www.wamu.org/programs/dr/

Monday 3/27

10:00
Michael Gordon and General Bernard Trainor: "COBRA II: (Pantheon)
A detailed history of America's invasion of Iraq including intelligence failures before the war, behind the scene accounts of principal battles, and miscalculations that led to the conflict we face today.
Guests
Michael Gordon, chief military correspondent for the New York Times.
General Bernard Trainor, retired Marine Corps lieutenant general and currently military analyst for NBC.

I've seen these 2 authors interviewed quite a lot lately and they are both intelligent , non partisan and fascinating. I ran right over to B & N and bought the book.

Check it out..you can listen on the computer.

Movie Buff

That's me. I love movies. I mostly rent them on Netflix which is awesome because I don't have to actually GO TO BLOCKBUSTER..which I hate to do right up there with shopping at Walmart. I don't buy many films because I am not one to watch them over and over...BUT...if I do want to buy one..I usually go to Amazon.com..or more recently I found MOVIES UNLIMITED and found an obscure title I was looking for.

Just thought I would share the info.

My Favorite emails

1. "Your FLORIDA MARLINS tickets are attached"
2. "Your AMAZON.COM order has been shipped"
3. "Your VICTORIA'S SECRET order has been shipped"
4. and of course anything from my favorite friends!!
5. oh...and a notification that someone has left a comment on my blog!

they're back!!!

they come in strolling like nothing even happened..

How'd it go?? I ask..

fine what's the big deal?? daughter replies..

WELL HOW'D SHE DO??? I ask with hands on hips...

She did fine..husband replies..

So I guess, that's that...no one seemed phazed...cept for me...of course...

oh god.

I'm having heart palpitations..they are not back yet..ok ok..they've only been gone 15 minutes..and no call has come in...cheesh, what will I do when she goes out on her own??? WILL THIS WORRY NEVER END WHERE MY KID IS CONCERNED????

breath...deep cleansing breaths.....everything is ok....

I'm having a moment...

Oh wow, my daughter just drove off in the family car with her Dad. This is the first time I have seen her behind the wheel. She earned her learner's license on Monday and has been wanting to drive. Dad had to run an errand...and she volunteered to drive. I know know whether to laugh or cry..I think I am doing both right now at the same time. On one hand she's growing up, and growing into herself..on the other it's just one more example of how our family is changing. Our only daughter is driving now..soon she'll be off on her own. I am filled with mixed emotions..

whew....I didn't think this would affect me like it is..

We've got to get in to get out!!!!

When I was in High School in the 70's..Genesis was my favorite group..this song was a particular favorite..I heard it moments ago on XM..haven't heard it in 30 years..I now ask myself..what was I on? I actually related to this song...weirdly enough, I recalled about 80% of the lyrics which means I listened to it until I wore the grooves off the record...wow...I was deep! or on something..perhaps a little of both..
Genesis - The Carpet Crawlers

There is lambswool under my naked feet.
The wool is soft and warm,
-gives off some kind of heat.
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed.
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid.
The fleas cling to the golden fleece,
Hoping they'll find peace.
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid.
There's no hiding in my memory.
There's no room to void.
The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor.
For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than
before.
They're moving. They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needle's eye is winking, closing in on the poor.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."
There's only one direction in the faces that I see;
It's upward to the ceiling, where the chambers said to be.
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every
tree.
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing that they're free.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies
glowing bright.
Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlight;
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."
The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.
The eager pack lift up their pitchers- the carry all they lack.
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the
crack,
And the tickler takes his stickleback.
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out."
