bookkeeping!

we have a discussion board for study group and I just go on and type 'ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGH" every once in a while, it gets a laugh, or a lol. The squiggly letters on the blinking screen approve!

Roshi Roshi
once I did a cartoon of Roshi. I post this because I feel so useless and dumb and brain dead I need to prove that once I did something sort of half decent. blaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I feel like I'm made out of old rubber.


Loss

No matter how you prepare for loss it will have an impact for at least a year, for every day that has had an hour that you would have spent with them will have that hour without them. It is not a matter of being strong but being clear and allowing yourself the time to honour them and your loss.

I learned that when I lost Bob.

"I will never be discouraged by defeat, because I know that success can
be waiting around the next corner", he said. "The only way to get there
is to try again and stay positive."

This is a quote from a guy who pulled a double decker bus with his hair.

I have realized that I look forward to doing my bookkeeping homework the way one might look forward to "pulling out ones own teeth" this last phrase should be read with a British accent.

For some reason, many horrible things that need to be done are said in my mind with a British accent, this is nothing against the Brits, infact it is to their credit that they manage, with so little whinning and whinceing, the horrible jobs that need to be done..."Oh look, here's a lovely bit of filth!" for example.

Is this the sort of comment that gets one labelled "PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE"? Perhaps that is the problem, I should always talk about horrible things that need to be done with a British accent so as not to be accused of being "PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE". Then people will say, "Oh no, she's not passive aggressive, she's a Brit. Wonderful "sticktoitedness" the Brits have don't they?"

I failed my last practical test in accounting. I had a brain freeze. But it was just one test. I will not fail the course. Once it is over however I will put away my stubby pencils for good. This babe is no accountant!

He just makes me happy.

so I should probably just get on my bike...
Conversation between a Squirrel and a Sm, conversation

Last night I ate chocolate, popcorn and had a glass of wine.  This is living dangerously.  I stayed up until 2:00 am. 

I watched:  Witches of Eastwick, Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Mary Riley.

This morning, Diva (cat) tried to wake me at 7:30 am and I in my dream I was doing Document Formatting homework and I said, out loud,

"just let me finish these three pages Diva and then I will wake up."

so I was awake.

AND PATHETIC.

In some what not pathetic news I met Alley Girl at Lady Maralade in Riverdale (that sentence should be a song) for lunch and while I did interview her for the course (market ananlysis) I also got to ramble on at her and she is so sweet as to seem interested and to hear a bit about her which was nice. 

I did a new chalk board for Oma and had an adjustment.  Perhaps that is why I don't have a migraine today despite my despotisisum  which is like an oppossumism without the pretending to be dead... what?  i don't know what i'm talking about

I went to Hangman Gallery and boo hoo, the Little Art Show is $35 a head and so there is no way I can take my daughter and her boyfriend.  Sheesh.  (mutter mutter mutter)  So that was sad.

But really last night, after watching Mary Riley I had a good cry.  Poor Mary Riley. 

Not the best Halloween but remarkably I have no migraine today!

i spent 4 hours messing about with Word yesterday

This document formatting course is a bit like going to the dentist for me.  I don't have many cavities, and the things that are wrong with my mouth are the same things that were wrong with it when I was 13 or so but it
  • takes up time
  • it's mildly painful
  • costly improvements are often suggested when I complain
It is the 1960's. I am the 50+ widow who found herself on the wrong side of the Berlin wall after the war.  No one is going to sponsor me to come to MAC land. My best hope is to stay in step, they are promising me a #7.  I don't know what it is, I hope it is Vodka.  I could use a drink comrad.

No, I do not want to hear that your life is better now that you have a Mac.  I do not want to hear that my life would be better if I had a Mac. 


I need more news about Troyswanns hair

I read my "friends page" and there is nothing.  Any one of her fans got an update?  Come on, I need a distraction here!

Sweetie, what happened after you cut your bangs?

I really want to know

A single mother discovered the secret to white teeth and I want to know what it is and yet I am afraid to click on the link for fear it is unsafe...

Does any one know what the secret to white teeth that the single mother discovered is?

I really want to know.


I am loving "a victorian farm" if only for that woman's enthusiasm. 

How do I put the video in my posting?
sorry

Okay, so last post I put in a link to Carl Sagan's video where he sings Stephen Hawkings lyrics and nobody commented.

I really want people to enjoy this, this is better than the rare parrot humping the guys head!

Sheesh I hate being so limited!  If I had a bigger volcabulary of knowledge and stuff I would really make people laugh.

I would.

I joined aardvark a place where you post your area of knowledge and answer questions about it.  I put "stuff" as my area and I got my first inquiry.  It was:

"what do you think are the best things about guys who are about liking girls and the worst things? What do you think are the best things about girls who are about liking boys and the worst things?"

I actually had answers.

It seems I was thinking about this and then someone posted it on my facebook page
