I absolutely LOVE Lipstick Jungle!!! I was so happy when it came back to TV on Wednesday! I actually had the date and time written on my calendar.

I remember waking up, making coffee and asking hubby if he wanted to watch the morning news…he did…and we both watched in horror as the 2nd plane hit the building and then as people were jumping to their deaths…and I remember looking at my husbands face and the tears streaming down his cheeks and all he could say was “jet fuel..oh my God, jet fuel….burns so hot..oh my God” and we cried and were mesmerized by the pictures and the voices and sickened by our own thoughts and answering phone calls and making phone calls and watching TV all damn day! And I didn’t sleep for a few nights. I remember that. I couldn’t. The thoughts that kept running thru my head…all the loss, all the pain..all the memories people have….all the millions of picture we saw on the news of people missing….it was horrible! And deep in the back of my head…starting that very day….was the thought..oh my… will someone do this again?

I have met many, many well known people in my job as a security guard. I work at quite a few large events, in a large city, and overall, I have to say, they are just regular people with regular problems just like you and me. They just handle theirs differently.

Whoops, sorry bout the caps

i TO AGREE WITH lILY OF THE vALLEY. i LIKE HIS ACTING AND WOULD WATCH HIM ON SCREEN, BUT WOULD NOT CHOOSE HIM FOR A FRIEND.

Gawd! I JUST WISH WE HAD BETTER CHOICES AND MORE TIME TO CHOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m confused…..since when is it a “sport” to hit a ball back and forth across a table? My parents used to yell at sis and me for doing that….hmmmmm And now to ask women to wear sexier outfits to do it in? That’s just crazy!!!!!

I used to “wonder” when my hubby would come home and talk about some woman at work, I would grill him and get all suspicious. He would reassure me and life would go on. We stopped having regular “relations” and I moved out of our bedroom because “he snores.” He would reassure me and life would go on. I made him take a cell phone to work so I could call him when ever I wanted to…then checked it for “other” calls. He reassured me and life went on. His blocks of time that he did have free were spent in the garage working on my car or his hobby. I felt ignored, he reassured me and life went on. He built this great computer so I could have it to play with and do work on, and then when he did stuff, I got suspicious and did the “history” thing and all. He reassured me and life went on. Then he died….and I realized what a GREAT man I had…who will reassure me now? And will life go on?

She is awesome! One of my faves!!!!

Happy Birthday.

I live in a suburb of San Diego..have since 1987…and I know all my neighbors on my street, and know of or at least where alot of others on the crosstreet live. My neighbors and my family are friends…and as such we have shared kids birthdays, high school graduations, weddings, and the occasional pet. I know that I can leave my house for an extended period of time and all I have to do is make one or two phone calls and my house will be as safe as if I was there. During the fires of 07 and 03, my neighbors and my family worked together to help others as we were close but not seriously affected. One neighbor had a pump to pull water out of pools and he and several other guys went to other neighbor hoods to water down “hot spots.” We had a large enough generator that when everyones power was off for three days we were able to put 3 refrigerators and a freezer in our garage and seven family’s food was saved. When our neighbors children, who were burned out, needed places for pets to live while they sorted thru the ashes and the insurance hassles, those of us with pets and fenced yards were able to “semi-adopt” for a period of time. My husband loved that! He didn’t have to mow for 2 months cuz the 2 nanny goats did it for us! We have gardens that we share together from, we have parties together, when someone needs a ride, a quick call is all it takes. If someone is sick or has a emergency, once again, all it takes is a quick call. My best friend next door died 4 years ago and since then her son, who was only 17 at the time, has continued to stay at the house and have a normal life because the neighbors all helped “take care” of him. He is now 21, employed, and has that feeling of family that he would have lost if not for the friends he has in this neighborhood. My life wouldn’t be the same without my neighbors, my friends.

I would be Mic the Miraculous! I would fly, and have x-ray vision, and be able to blink things out of existence that I didn’t like. I would also be able to blink things into existence that I did like. Sort of like a Samantha the witch that could really fly and do good things! Goofy huh? LOL

we all wish thats what Obama would say….and as for Madonna….we just want her to go away.

I have always been taught that FRUGAL is good, so I am now just grateful to my parents for that lesson and my “skinflint” husband for living and supporting it so that it won’t be a culture shock when our government demands that we live by it!
