Ta ta tuesday
« on: January 29, 2008, 08:25:18 AM »
Made you look!  :naughty:

Seriously though, it's a dreary day here, but warm at least for central OH in the winter. Should be 52.

I've got a lot of sorting and organizing to do today and a few bills. We are doing our taxes this weekend and the other half has his review in a week or so. Once all that is done, we can bring a contract for the basement. We don't finance anything, so it is going to wait until we can pay cash. It hurts paying up front, but I know 12 months out I'll be glad I'm not making a payment still on the basement repair. Also have to see if I can get a couple of teenage boys to come out here and help us regrade the land by the house. My husband's best friend is a high school football coach so I don't expect we'll have a hard time coming up with some youthful, strong young men to help out. We could do it ourselves, but this will make it a weekend project instead of a month long project.

My day is totally messed up now...stupid 2 hour delay.  I WAS gonna go to the bank and grocery store, etc in the neighboring town, but now I won't have time, so that's down the drain.  Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Not sure why we had a delay...Mr Flame said something about icy rain, but it sure was fine when I woke up!

Tonight is basketball practice and dance.

no snow! the kids are back in school .. *happy dance*


TOTD: Los Angeles would probably be at the top of my list. I went with my husband for a week when he was on a business trip.. I thought it would be cool to hit some 'hot spots' and see some sites..

Yuck.. that city is disgustingly dirty with the rudest people i've ever met. There are a few streets in Beverly Hills that are nice, but overall.. I have no idea what the big draw is there. A city filled with 'celebrities' would not be my idea of a fun town..

Foreign: Ishtanbul. NASTY when I was there (77-78
Domestic: I ain't much into cities. I sure didn't care for LA or NY. Philly and Pittsburgh were no fun, either.

Good Morning everyone.  I was up early today, but I'm still sitting here in my pajamas drinking coffee.  Off to slow start  :whatever:  I have plenty of work waiting for me today, and two meetings so hopefully work will go by fast  :cheersmate:

TOTD:  I really disliked New York when I visited it.  People seemed rude, and there were too many super tall buildings.  It made me feel kind of claustrophobic.

TOTD:  Cinnamon probably.

Morning all. Still in search for the One, still trying to find a dr. for my baby. We thought we might have found one and got directions from Yahoo, big mistake. They moved and didn't tell Yahoo about it. Might have found a family doctor, I will call when it gets to be 9 here.

TOTD 1: I went though Pittsburg once. I hated it, thought it was dirty and nasty and it stunk really bad. They got some issues with the river there.

TOTD 2: I like vanilla, jasmine, and lavender. I really like Coolwater on my hubby.  :naughty:

Yeah, besides dirty--rundown and depressing turns me off too--you couple rundown with the gray of a winter and blah...there are parts of Baltimore--large parts of Baltimore like that

My husband lived in NYC and loved it. I felt like it was a nice place to visit to do something different, but I could never live there..it was too noisy and crowded and I hated the way the wind tunneled through the buildings. I didn't like that feeling of having to look up to see the sky either when we were in the city itself.

Cold and windy as hell here. Doesn't help I got a couple interviews today, so I'm hoping my suit and hair don't get messed up. After that, we're expecting our taxes to come in, so we might go out and celebrate. But if not today, then tomorrow.

Nastiest city I've ever been in? Cincinnati. My uncle took me and my brother to a Reds' game but before that we went to a local rib and BBQ joint on the South Side of the city.... and there was a dude lying either dead or unconscious on the sidewalk. Poked him with a stick, but ol' dude wasn't moving at all. Weird. The traffic was a mess, except for around the stadium the city looked dirty. It was a mess. As a matter of fact, there were a couple bums begging outside the parking lot too.


TOTD2: Coffee. I love the smell of coffee. Everytime I go to the grocery store, I make an effort just to walk by the coffee and tea aisle to get a big whiff.

YW...I'm thinking of switching all mine to our family doctor soon. My mother even goes to him. I like the idea because with 3 generations he's got a good history of medical propensities. Plus, I like the idea of doctor that knows us as a family...just seems like a better repore can be built that way.

1)  I HATED Montreal...  the only city where I was spit on for being a US citizen.  (yes, I was spit on in the face for it by some street bum for being an American).  Not to mention, if I asked for directions/assistance, I got nasty looks, as if I should be dead for intruding on their air, and other than around the Notre Dame cathedral (or whatever the name was, the city looked like _nobody_ cared to clean it up. 

(To be fair to Canadians, I LOVED Toronto and Ottawa when I was in those two cities... friendliest people I think I had ever encountered north of the Mason-Dixon line, including vs. some US cities.)


2) favorite scent... hmm.. I'd have to think about that one, but I'll say freshly roasted coffee beans.

Not doing much here today.  Just going to school.  Nothing new.

TOTD:    I have flown into Detroit to visit someone, but we managed to get out of there pretty quickly.  :o

TOTD: Favorite scent?  Well, I do enjoy being asked why I smell like a pomegranate... lol   



It's called Midnight Pomegranate.  I get asked all the time where I got it.  A scent that differs from the norm, but still very pleasant.

A beautiful day here in Phoenix.

TOTD: Bisbee, Arizona...it was creepy, like something out of a Stephen King novel. And the lady that ran the bed 'n' breakfast we stayed at was cookoo.

TOTD: Plumeria...it reminds me of my trip to Hawaii. Awesome memories...

Warm and weird here.  It's like a tornado is due.

TOTD#1:  I don't know.  I find something to like about every place.  My naturally sunny disposition allows me to see the good and ignore the bad.  Houston probably come closest to testing my wonderful nature.

TOTD#2:  Gardenia.  I had a blooming gardenia bush outside my bedroom window as I was growing up.  I could open the window and enjoy that wonderful bouquet all day and night.  That constant aroma therapy is probably responsible for me being the person I am today.

I've never taken my kids to a ped...always a family Dr.  If you can find a good one, that's the way to go, IMO.

TOTD  hmmmm...I'm not big on cities, because I hate traffic, other than that I can't think of one place I went that I really disliked.

TOTD  I love honeysuckle

Damn.

We finally got one of those legendary Nebraska winters going, but only for today and part of tomorrow.

Temperature right now is -2 F, and a 45-50 mph wind from the north.

And lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of snow, snow drifting all over the place.

The William Rivers Pitt, usually a prominence, is currently a dent.

It's been colder than this before, but no snow.

There's been more snow than this before, but no below-zero temperatures.

Right now, we got all three here in the Sandhills of Nebraska; subcold, snow, and high winds.

Whatever.

Spring arrives in two weeks, at least here.

Oh I like honeysuckle too. There used to be a thicket of honeysuckle plants on our way to the grocery store when we lived in Maryland(along with blackberry vines too--I think they are vines) and being that my mother did not drive when I was a child, we walked the 3/4 mile or so to the grocery store and in the spring and summer she'd take us through that thicket. My mother showed us that we could pull the honeysuckle flowers off and they had a sweet nectar inside of them.
