DONE AND DONE!!!

So I found a dress... almost like I had originally hoped for. I am going for the Kentucky Derby fashion look - maybe. It is slightly tight in my middle area however as the Wise Salt N Pepa say "I lay ya down to the maximumAnd I'm extra in the middle cuz that's where I'm waxin' him" So we shall see!!!
I am thinking about tater tots casserole for Sat. monrning. And now that ANAL is brining Mango nectar GAME on with the mimosas.


AND THEN I SAW THIS:

DAMN - does this mean Summer is over???

50 Hours and Counting

Red Dress Run is in about 50 hours. I still have a lot to do:

1) finish making orange dress red
2) locate red body glitter
3) get groceries for Sat. morning breakfast - including 2 lbs. of Bacon for Corn to cook - haha!!
4) Clean downstairs and deck
5) Call hotel to see if we can check in at 3:00am Sunday morning. Silly to pay for a hotel room for 7 hours...but a necessity.
6) Pack overnight bag.
7) Figure out if I want to drink mimosas or Flirtinis Sat. morning
8) charge rechargable batteries for CAMERA
9) Get snacks for hotel room
10) Paint toenails red

Plus work and class and stuff!!! I am not going to Lingerie Friday night so that will help.
Here's some pics from last year... not sure who they belong to...but I stole them.


My Favorite Red Dress pic: AUTO HASHING - (Cert - are we doing this again and are you wearing those glasses again this year if not can I borrow?)

IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT BUT IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE....

So, there are a few of us that have an inside joke. It involves someone kind of close to us. The origin was created in the presence of above mentioned's boyfriend and he was in the full know about the joke. However, now he appears to have forgotten and is using the joke. Do I tell him or let it continue cuz it's funny to us??

My new friend Matt got named tonight. I just met him in June at a wedding in Western New York. We share mutual friends. He was introduced in the wedding party as being from Northern Virginia. I introduced myself and invited him to the hash. He is a natural born hasher. So we had weeks to rehearse the "what to say when they question you in circle." He did fabulous. Then I shared my inside gossip on him. The best stories I had were:
1) when he was in Las Vegas, he got a lap dance at the strip club and didn't have the money to pay the nice lady so she dragged him to the ATM and made him take out money and...
2) He is from Attica. Aside from the prison, they have one main bar called the Attica Hotel.

So the best names for him were : Atticock Hotel and Bitch, Where My Money?

Well, since the writers of Family Guy are so brilliant, we stole their line and went with Baby Stewie's line of "Bitch, Where My Money." Cool name for a cool dude!!!

Alright - bed time!!! Long day tomorrow!!!

I THINK I AM BACK....

I had a presentation for a group of 30 to prepare for - which I did and kicked ass today giving the presentation. That is done so that is one thing down that I don't have to worry about anymore. Now if we could just find someone to live in the basement life would be peachy. Last night around 8pm some shady looking guys showed up (I think they were Odd Job guys off of Craigs List hired by the crazy landlord) to do some work in the basement. So around 10:30 I went down and asked the nice gentlemen how long they were going to be. He said he thought just a few more mins. and I said "Well, okay, I can't really go to sleep with strange men in the basement" and he said "You don't have to worry about us." UHHHH whatever. Well, the landlords "assistant" showed up and paid them and off they went.

Also, I wanted to share with you that I pick college football games for my friend BRATLEY's fantasy fake football league. I know NOTHING about college football, so I pick them based on nicknames and how I can relate the name to my life - example: Cavaliers vs. Golden Bears - I pick cavaliers because I used to drive one. Last week I was 11 right 6 wrong . Not too bad. However the week before that I was 16 right 4 wrong.

Here are some pics of the jewelry I made. Now don't start swarming with requests (haha). I do think I am going to start making rhinestone hash necklaces. Watch for those.















DINNER: Low fat Chicken Alfredo - smells good. Haven't tried it yet. UPDATE - VERY GOOD!!!! http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1625,158181-236198,00.html

MATCH.COM WINK OF THE DAY: not even worth posting.

Two and a Half Men quote: Alan: "Office opens at 8" Charlie: "O'clock?" Alan: "No, degrees." (should have said ducks or monkeys) Who is leaking our jokes??


Happy National Good Neighbor Day!!!

A WEEKEND OF NOTHING>>

I made the decision to spend the weekend low key. I have been real tired and had a bunch of work to catch up on and laundry. People are beginning to think I have some social disease.. but I don't. I partied like a rock star last weekend - don't remember half of the weekend and next weekend is Red Dress Run and I anticipate that will be similar.

So, I picked up a new hobby this weekend. I am making jewelry - necklaces, earrings and bracelets. I will post some pics soon. It's fun and soon all my friends will be wearing SMAC jewelry.

What else happened this weekend - I searched for a red dress to no avail. So it looks like I am either wearing a red dress that is too big or an orangish dress. Either way I have a cool hat to wear with the outfit.

Well that is it. I feel better about my work situation. Laundry is back in order.

DINNER - Low fat Spaghetti Pie

HAPPY NATIONAL ONE HIT WONDERS DAY!!!!!

PS - Hey Wheat Thins - take your top off!!! Giggety Giggety Goo!!

Guy #2 and I talked today and decided to ease off. Mainly because of the distance - but for me it is because he just is not ready for this. It is a little sad - but probably for the best. With all that goes on at work, I don't need to be worrying about that too.


The quest for the Red Dress continues. I have a bid in on a dress on ebay - but I am not sure I will get it in time. Betsy and I are quickly collecting a large variety of red dresses.... so if you are in need - let me know and I will see what we can do.

I am not hashing tonight - I am still drying out from Sat. PHEW!!!! Half way to St. Pat's Day, WAKA Dance Off, and a party that I don't really remember. But I did get to try out my new Arabic on the cab driver.

I am not in a blogging mood. Between Guy #2 and the situation in the basement - I am not a happy camper.

MATCH.COM WINK OF THE DAY -



A picture is worth 1,000 words.

THE DATING GAME:

GUY #2

Well, things have fizzled. I don't know why - perhaps its the 500 mile separation. So I am just playing it by ear at this point. I gave him an out the other day and he didn't take - actually said things that were nice. However, since then, haven't heard much. A few emails and one phone call. So we will just see what happens. I do like him, but I am not looking for this. We were supposed to meet up in Batavia over Columbus Day weekend, but not our mutual friends aren't going to be there. So he doesn't know what to do now.

GUY #1

I get funny cute text messages and emails from him. He makes plans to hang out atleast. Aside from his one hang up, he is good. Haha!!!!

GUY #3

He pipes up every now and then. Doesn't call or text though. Also, he lives pretty far away and has these pool parties and NEVER invites me.

GUY #4

This is a returner. He is a cop. Strike number 1. I believe he is a dork - but we only went out 3 times. However, he is into photography which is cool in my book. Divorced, no kids. He called today and wanted to hang out tonight, but I passed.

So These are the Days of My Life!!!!
Who do you vote for??

No Match.com winks today.
DINNER - whole wheat pasta and Betsy's secret pasta sauce.

PS - Happy Collect Rocks Day

YOU'RE NAME MUST BE SUMMER BECAUSE YOU ARE HOT!!!!

That is what the t-shirt said today worn by my little boy from Croatia. When asked if he knew what it meant - he said no. Last week we had a little girl fresh from El Salvador - pretty girl, dark hair, dark skin - her nice pretty pink t-shirt said "Blondes do it best" Third grader by the way.

It's funny cuz they just want to wear shirts that have english words on them.

ANYWAYS... I bought a floppy red hat on ebay for the DC RDR - is WAY too small for my big melon. So now what... I think my last hope is to go to Burlington Coat Factory and look for a 'Sunday" hat. I have this whole image ready - just can't find the hat - and oh yeah... I need to dye my dress.

MATCH DOT COM WINK OF THE DAY:


body art:
Branded

So that's all the bashing I can do on this one!!! Good job - Bertrandb-1.





DINNER - Carribean Jerk Chicken sandwiches, coleslaw and roasted veggies. Oh yeah and wine.


I learned a new Arabic? phrase today - phonetically spelled - Chen Hoe Sha. It means "Because it's fun." Always good to know.

So HASH - CHen Hoe Sha

What are you wearing to DC RDR??
PS - HAPPY FELT HAT DAY!!!

ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME??

I walked into Giant tonight and this is what I saw:





It is a Santa and Snowman blow up Snow globe with snow constantly falling. Unbelievable. Does this mean it is going to stay up until Christmas?




Well, since we are supposed to be thinking about Christmas, let's make a list:

1) Digital zoom camera
2) purses
3) rhinestone cocktail rings
4) jewelry armoire
5) Golf lessons
6) silver hoop earrings since I lost one at Beach Invasion
7) new mattress set
8) Ipod
9) vinyl albums
10) Popcorn popper

So there is a brief list. What do you want for Christmas??

3.24 Miles a DAy??

I bought a pedometer to track my mileage at school. So I logged 3.24 miles the other day... HOWEVER... the pedometer is very sensitive. So, I would like to know what you others clock in at. Just for my own curiosity. I should have worn it today cuz I ran around like a fool all day - plus had to deal with a mother who was curious as to why I asked her Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder child to not wear his watch and shell necklace anymore. UMMMMM - maybe because he takes them off and on, puts them on his head, sucks on them, drops them donw his shirt, etc.... She accepted that fact.

I have recently gotton two fortune telling pieces of mail. 1 told me that in 2033 I can retire at 59.5 and earn 892 a month. And SOCIAL SECURITY told me that I will earn $1200 a month. That would be nice if I was really going to get it. So unless I meet and marry some rich ass guy, I will be netting $2000 a month when I am 60. Watch out world...here I come.

So... that's my future. Jealous??

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

NFL Kickoff. I am just catching the end of the Kickoff and low and behold, Ozzy Osborne is lipsynching Crazy Train. Ha!!!

I like football. I really like going to Buffalo Bills game in January, tailgating in -15 degree weather, shoveling 2 feet of snow off of my seat and freezing to death. Good times.

However, what I really like about football is sitting at home on a nice fall day, making some football food - queso dip and chips, beer, popcorn, etc.... and watching football on TV.

I have lost my desire for football since the days of Bruce Smith, Andre Smith, Jim Kelly etc are over.

My best football player story is this: One time, I was at a bar called The Pier on the lovely shores of the Niagara River in Buffalo. I was there with my friend Mike. He ran into some people he knew from highschool. I wasn't amused by the guys, especially the one with the big bling bling #80 and gold chains around his neck. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. I came back and my friend Mike said 'Do you know who you just blew off?" I didn't really care. He said "That was Eric Moulds - you know.. number 80 of the Buffalo Bills?" Oh well.. don't think I was going to be Mrs. Eric Moulds.

So that's it... Down, set, hike.

THIS JOB THING IS REALLY CUTTING INTO MY BLOGGING TIME

I went to see Journey tonight - sans Steve Perry. Seems like every show at Wolf Trap is a cover band - ie ABBA. Still a good time.

I am a very observant person - here are 2 situations which I guarantee I predicted correctly.

1) college girl there with parents... very touchy feely with dad. Betsy was convinced it was a mom, daughter and step dad situation...however - I decided it was Dad, new girlfriend or new wife and daughter. Daughter did her impression of LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME throughout the entire concert.

2) Little tiny high maintenance Italian girl and BIG FAT Italian guy. The girl referenced a few times a brother/sister relationship - but I know if I went to the Journey concert with my brother... we wouldn't be slow dancing and rubbing each others hair. I guessed MONEY/Mafia on fatty's part and tiny girl was reaping the benefits.

Want me to evaluate you and your situation?? I will!!!!

PS - my students are WEIRD!!!

PSS - Guy #3 I miss you!!!! I give you the new title and you disappear on me?? That's not cool.

afternoon delight and I've Been Tagged??
I am not sure what this means...but I think it means I fill it in and try to get others to do the same.

I WOULD LOVE TO DONATE TO THE RED CROSS BUT....

WHEN the relief efforts are being greeted by the loving arms of the recently looted AK-47's

there is nothing I hate more than people screaming about what is owed to them.

When I hear about rape occuring in the Super Dome, makes me wanna SHOOP!!!

So, I have learned over the past few years... do not complain without a solution. Not only do I have one solution, but I have two. I make teacher money which isn't very much.. ask White Kane.

Here are my solutions for anyone looking to help out without going through the Red Cross.
1. Donate to a hasher - makes sense to me... here is how: Dear Tucson Area Hashers,If you'd like to help victims of Hurricane Katrina,but you'd rather your contributions went to hashersthan just anybody, read on.I just talked to The BugFucker, a hasher in BatonRouge who is willing to receive and forward donationsto New Orleans & Biloxi hashers affected by HurricaneKatrina. He says if he gets swamped he'll have plentyof help from other Baton Rogue hashers. This is alegit guy who wants to help, and who personally knowsthe hashers who need help.Probably best to send money and/or gift certificates,but if you want to pay shipping costs, hashers in thestricken areas need clothing and food too.Here's the address:
Doug Pickering
9777 Green Well Springs
Pt. Hudson Rd.
Zacary LA 70791
(225) 658-8915
dougepooo@yahoo.com
I hope hashers from Sierra Vista and Phoenix monitorthese lists and will help out as well.Please don't ship anything COD - The BugFucker isn'tin a position to pay for shipping! What you send WILLget to hashers who need help.Please feel free to pass this on to other hashinggroups - I checked with The BugFucker, and he says"bring it on-on!"On On,Flying BoogerHalf-Mind Weblog (http://half-mind.com/weblog/)Half-Mind Catalog (http://half-mind.com/)

2. Or... contact Asshole Cheese Slammer - she has some personal friends effected by this disaster.

Good Happy Hour - AHCS, Roofie, Rodeo, GO Easy, I'd Rather, Just Amanda

THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! And SMACs CLASS 2205-2006

I am watching the news. I can't believe this is happening in the US. It is unbelievable. I don't understand why there isn't more help for these people.

Okay....
I got to meet some of my students today. They are so cute!!! Right now. We will see how they hold up as the year progresses. The staff seems to be pretty good this year. Right now.

Well, I am not in the mood to blog tonight. Have a FAB long weekend!!!
Party at my house on Sunday.
