New Ideas

I came up with a great new idea today for work, of course with the help of Big Daddy. He and his peeps are already running with it and I am hopeful something good comes from this. Isn't there some saying about gems out of shit.

Big Daddy is getting on my nerves as he does not understand staying home and being unemployed. I hope he never learns. However, we must have disciplines. And you may not like mine-but I was here first. I am however very thankful that he is getting quite a bit of feedback and an interview. Not bad for 4 days of trying in Detroit for an auto RIF.

Pinto beans and spoon bread for dinner.

By the way, Stacy Head the councilwoman in New Orleans did publish her emails today and she did say FUCK at least one time. Love that woman, love New Orleans, love people that say it like they see it. Maybe next Monday red beans and rice in honor of Stacey.

Sad news today, my favorite blog that I follow "Well Done Fillet" is retiring. Another thing to make me cry as I so enjoyed his writing and it is one less thing I have to do every day. I wish him well, but I also wish there were more interesting blogs out there to read.

Got to Get Ready

Tomorrow is back to work day, so everything needs to be in order so I don't make myself crazy. Puffette's books need to be stowed in the car and frankly the car needs some spiffing up and fuel. Also need to make sure I have few packs of cigs-not buying cartons any more in long anticipation of the EPuffer. Also need a variety of coats, hats, gloves and scarves in the car as you never know this time of year. Sweat or Freeze, mostly in the same day.

As predicted the preoccupation with my toe is nearing epic proportions. To pinch or not to pinch. This is ghastly.

I need to tear apart the dining room and clean thoroughly so I can put my new rug down. The current rug needs cleaning and is not my favorite. Might put it back down in the fall as it is darker in color. New rug is sage green. Current rug is burgundy.

That reminds me, The Three Headed Dog has a new red on the best of the best Jeeps one of which is the Grand Cherokee. This red is kick-ass. Really, really a nice rich red. My Ford Edge is red, so maybe I am prejudiced for beautiful reds. Mostly my toes are red too. Except in March.

Well I flunked out on the Sunday NYT Xword really bad. Embarrassingly so.

The Well Done Fillet had a blog on violence against soldiers near Belfast this weekend. Very sad to think that beautiful country could return to the senseless violence of the past. You have to wonder if it is the economic distress making idiots feel they can take advantage of the situation or just egomaniac imbeciles no longer able to control their baser instincts.

I wonder if the time is near when decent people will just no longer tolerate the fringes of society taking up our time and energy.
