NYC post #2

I'm having a great time here in the city. Yesterday we did a lot of walking, walking, and more walking. The highlight for me was St. Patricks cathedral. Can you say wow! I also found a beautiful rosary. Not much time to post too much. I'll leave you with a picture. I hope to breakdown some highlights of the trip in more detail when I get home.

Greetings from NYC!

After a waaaaaaaay to early morning, I only had two hours of sleep, we arrived in NYC. So far I've managed to watch a ton of baseball in times square and drink my arse off. I'll try to post updates when I can.

Later gators!

Disgusted

Really. Really. Disgusted. Dating back to October of 2001 it seems like every nationally televised game we are getting blown out in front of the nation. Whats worse about tonight? We're getting our asses handed to us by more than 30 points AT HOME and it isn't even the fourth quarter yet.

Thanks for nothing Kevin Fucking Cosgrove. Hand the ball off to anyone and let them run up the middle for 9+ yards every freaking time. Did our linebackers even show up tonight? Nice adjustments at the half as usual. I had no idea our run defense was so bad. I can't remember the last time I wanted to stop watching a Husker game in the third.

Its hard to keep the faith right now. But I bleed big red. And right now someone has cut my jugular. I'm a universal donor, but can anyone step up and help me? I think I'm past a transfusion and in need of a heart transplant.

GBR.

The Jail Bird

Otherwise known as Ellie. So the other day I didn't get the doggie gate locked in place and she knocked it over. Only fatality was the laundry room rug. Today, I came home after two hours of work and she met me at the door. Her gate was still up. She's one helluva jumper but it hasn't quite clicked in her mind that she can hurdle the gate. At least until now. She scooted her bed all the way across the room and used it to propel herself up and over. I'm sure she could do it without the bed but I don't want her to figure that out anytime soon. From the looks of it she took her toy with her and slept on my pillow for a couple hours. I am going to have to re evaluate her quarters when I am away.

Every condition requires a prescription

I had forgotten about this little gem. I sent this one out last year so some of you may have seen this.

Enjoy!

Day of Conception

I'm really at a loss for this one. I mean have a baby and get a car?!? Does that really beat 0%APR or cash back options in the long run? And isn't this unofficially recognized world wide as New Year's Eve?

I am forcing myself to be in bed at 11pm. I haven't been sleeping all that well and I've got a ten hour shift tomorrow. I've been working double time to get things ready for the scriptpro install on Saturday. These kinds of things never go smooth, well planned or not. I like to at least make the effort on the off chance I could get lucky and things would go well.

Go Big Red!

I posted this video early this this summer. It gives me chills and it never gets old. I'm having people over for the game tomorrow. Cheesy hash brown's make their triumphant return. Yum!





My mini vacation has been fantastic. I caught up on a ton of sleeping. The DMB show was amazing. I finally heard Best of what's around live. I nearly lost it.

Have a fabulous weekend gang!

Accepted!

Ellie passed with flying colors. I'm now totally relieved. I have somewhere to take her for the day. It has been a busy day. I went in before opening this morning and worked for an hour, went to Ellie's interview, the cleaning ladies came, the cable guy came, AND the Orkin guy came and checked out my spider problem. I also squeezed in a visit to the eye doctor. My doctor has one helluva sense of humor. "Well your prescription hasn't changed and for someone with your level of near sightedness that is no small victory" Wise ass.

I'm working tomorrow part of the day and then I am officially on vacation. I could start the party tonight but it has been a long week at work and we have been incredibly short staffed. I would feel bad leaving them on the start of my vacation in such bad shape.

Have a great weekend guys and gals!

Good luck Hats!

Well, I'm just post happy tonight. Hell, who knows when I'll be able to post again this week? I might as well do it all now. Each year I get a new hat or shirt for good luck at the start of the season. This year for my Huskers and Chiefs I bought two hats. And no Andy, I did not buy four hats all at once. I started my quest at the end of last season. I also bought a new Braves hat this week. I forgot to do it at the beginning of the season and I think they could use the extra luck. Camo was everywhere this year. No foo foo, girly, or pink hats for this gal!

What comes with the rain?

Let's Groove Tonight!

I was groovin Earth, Wind, and Fire style on Saturday night. The concert was soooooo much fun. I took my folks and we had a blast. No one threw a hip out, but it wasn't for a lack of effort. That was probably the largest crowd I have ever seen at stircove. The line to get in wound all the way back to the parking lot. They opened with Boogie Wonderland, Sing a Song, and Shooting Star. They closed strong with September and Let's Groove Tonight. I was definitely sad when it was over. There were three couples in front of us that were easily my parents age if not older and they were TRASHED! I remembered thinking if the concert for some reason sucked I would at least be entertained. Best quote of the night was Mr. Friendly in front of me look at me and say "hell I'd blow him" I nearly choked on my beer.

I know someone out there is going to blast me for what I'm about to say next. I realize my dog is not a child but I do feel bad leaving her at home when I work a ten hour day. Many thanks to Andy, Angie, and Carl for letting her out on my long work days. I've been trying to get her set up at a "doggie day care" type place. Good grief you'd think I was trying to get my kid into an elite kindergarten. We have an "interview" on Friday. Which irks me for multiple reasons, but mostly b/c I put the application in last week hoping I could get her in this week. I won't need this place for another two weeks after this Thursday. So I'm annoyed. Flame away.
