Phoenix to Alaska?? Talk about a climate change!
Splenda kind of ooks me out. I think I just prefer good ol' sugar.

Hey - where are Lise and Nanci?

Oooh, sugared pop sucks!!! Diet Coke!!
I made pork tenderloin, in jerk sauce, on the grill, and it was _perfect_. With onion roasted potatoes. With a bottom-shelf but still delicious Zin. I _did_ snuggle up to the expensive Ice Zin for a few minutes, though. Then put it back in the wine attic. I read on the Vineyard's website that that bottle I bought last night for $22 is MSRP $40. Should I go back and get the other bottle of it??? Or the 90 point-rated Orange Muscat for $14??? I love wine.
Tomorrow is my grandson's second birthday. I hate it that my daughter can't (won't) quit smoking. I had a pt this week who had tongue, larnyx and lung cancer, with breast mets. She likely won't live till her daughter's wedding in June. She's freakin' crying about it, right in the middle of her exam. I told Kelly about that, but of course, she's "trying." She can't quit when she has a child at home. Quitting gives her a headache. It makes her nauseous. (I pointed out that chemo would make her nauseous, too...) Whatever.
The Brooks just doesn't do anything for me. I borrowed my friend's Team Pro S (women-specific, which means obscenely short in the nose and pretty wide, too...) and I just didn't feel the love. So that's on the back burner and I am still pining away for the Terry Zero X.
I wish the bee job was in Florida.
Of course I have my long-lost friend (co-worker who has recently moved back to town after a 3 year absence.) She's wilder than ever. I just want to go home and go to bed. At bike (motorcycle) night last night, we set her up with a guy eight years her junior and ditched her. She pinched him in the nipple. I...let's just say, that she hasn't matured much in the last three years...(32)
Her six-year-old made a hula-hoop skirt for BF's beer, which he kindly put on it and took around and showed to everyone.
Austin Powers: Goldmember is on in the background. BF has gone to bed at 8:30.
Work today sucked- wait, need refill. I'm out of cheap Zin and on to BF's unattended Florida Muscadine Red. Very sweet. "Foxy," they call it. The only grape that actually smells like grape.
Man, was that perfect timing: I just caught Dr. Evil and Mini Me doing the music video "It's a Hard Luck Life." I am in love with Dr. Evil, and Scott Evil.
I can't wait to ride my bike tomorrow. We're starting at Conestoga's, the tiny-town steak restaurant, at 8Am, then returning after 40 or so miles for lunch. I love club rides that include a lunch. Otherwise, why bother??
I went psycho at my student yesterday. Not the perfect Napoleon Dynamite, but the next one. Josh. I wanted him to put away supplies, and he whines, "But I don't know where they go..." Well, josh, perhaps, if you did a little exploring in the rooms you are actually supposed to be working in, you might discover the mysteries of where stuff we use every day goes.
He was a lot better today. I even yelled his name once and made him jump. Some of them are perfect- like working with another tech. Others either take a lot of yelling at, or I just give up and let them go, and then, a year later, when they are applying for a job...
I won a major battle of wills at the hosp today. I'm not sure about how this affects pt care. Some service, say surgery or trauma, tries to push off a task on my radiologists that they could just as well do, up on the floor, with no radiation exposure. Because they are too lazy or scared or incompetent to do it themselves. Luckily, I threw a fit, a majot fit, in July, and my attending (permanently employed, not residents) radiogists backed me up on it. They come up with a million lame excuses, but the bottom line is, if you don't follow the protocol, you are wasting your/our time. So, while they are trying to bully us into doing the thing, (placing a feeding tube) they are _not_ doing it themselves. Their pt suffers. Sure, they could all come down to me. But- the nurses/interns are just being lazy, at the cost of a permanent radiation dose to the pt, not to mention me and the radiologist. Why are they like that??
Um, this might be enough thread drift for me for the moment- (wait, need refill of Vintner's Red)-
Mmm, it goes so well with crunchy peanut butter. I am so far off the diet wagon it isn't even funny.
I should have gone to school for being a plumber- that is what I -----------tested for, can't think of the word, what you'd be good at.
My kitchen sink leaks. I can't get the faucet tight enough. I can't get in there. My spare toilet leaks. My bathtub leaks in two places. My outside faucet had a bad frost plug, so it leaks. Oh, the second sink in the master bath leaks. WHY does it all LEAK???
Apptitude, that is the word I was looking for.
Beta, have you caught up yet?
Goodnight.

And OMG you have a grandchild?!?! You do NOT look old enough to have grandchildren. Nov 18, 19?? (That's my youngest daughter's b-day too btw.)
I guess I could have some too, technically, (thankfully the girls are not considering having kids yet..) but I like to pretend I only have my 8 year old son and am still in my 30's...
I have not ridden my bike since the 100 k last saturday. Took me 3-4 days before I even felt like riding, but I've been a busy girl shovelling dirt, planting a couple hundred bucks worth of perennials, and building a lovely stone wall in my semi-finished backyard. We will spend the next two days hauling stone. At least O won't have to do my weights this weekend.I'm so glad the weather has cooled a bit - this would NOT be fun in 100+ temps...
I put on two batches of wine yesterday - one is a Cab Sauv which won't be drinkable for at least a year, and the other is a gwurtztraminer, however you spell that, which we can drink 6 weeks from now. I prefer "boughten" wine but it's nice to have the homebrew for back up. The cab sauv is actually really good.
Back to hauling rock...
I knew you were around here somewhere!Originally Posted by Nanci
Nice drift!

I may need to start breathing into a paper bag. I turned in my application Monday for a new position at work. I hate waiting.![]()
Heh, heh, heh. I just won the bet. We're watching "Rooster Cogburn" and I told Bubba that had to be the Deschutes River in Bend, OR. A little googling and I proved my point. OK, not that he really dissputed it but he's the one that remembers all the movie trivia.
Snap, breathe . . . In . . . . . Out. Ok, what position?

And for those of you with high speed internet connections, I just saw this on my Yahoo page:
Dancing Skeleton
I need some action. DPITA is literally on the other side of the planet. This sucks.
Diet soda makes me sick to my stomach.
Beer is my friend. Wine is nice, but beer is friendlier.
I'm reading Greg Bear's "Darwin" books. Dang, I wish I'd stuck with my original plan to be a mad scientist. Mad healthcare worker doesn't cut it. Mad librarian might.
My nose ring insists on sitting in the front of my nose, intead of up the nasal passage. cool, if that's where it wants to be, so be it. But I've gotta get it rebent so it won't stick up above my skin. Folks keep saying my ring is coming out. (nope, stem is just too long for the way the hook likes to sit.)
Impressed my young pot-head neuveau-hippie neighbors tonight, as I was sitting on my porch in my rocking chair reading a Darwin book smoking a pipe and drinking a huge beer. One of 'em said I looked "very continental".
(don't look at me like that... I only smoke 3 or 4 times a year and my pipe tabacco is so old there's probably no nicotine left. yeah. Besides, it's better for me than the Dunhill red box cigarettes I used to smoke. I still dream about them...... sigh.)

Nice to be missed.
Well. Let's see. First I was working for a living and being aggravated out of my skull by this one staff member my co-worker calls "la diablita"....then that was over, and I went to the Sox game!
Now, I'm a Cubs fan from way back. It's genetic. If anybody knows Chicago, you know you're either North or you're South side, you're either a Cubs or you're a Sox fan. For example, a t-shirt tonight said, "Friends don't let friends be Cubs fans". You get the point. I felt like a foreign exchange student.
However. Free tix, friends. Elvis night. OMG. I have been corrupted.
1. Parachuting Elvises from the sky during the National Anthem, AND after the game.
2. The Sox shut out the Tigers, 5-0. Great pitching.
3. Fireworks after every homerun. Fireworks at the end of the game.
4. Many Elvises, Elvis contests, and a really good Elvis "tribute" guy at the end.
5. An AMAZING fireworks show at the very end.
You don't get a show like that at Wrigley.
We took the El (public trans. train) down and back. Now it's 12:20, and I'm getting up at 6 AM to go run 7 miles with Jamie. Uuuuuggghhhhh...![]()
Going to bed. Love to all, L.

So with my rampant hijacking, it only figured I find 'thread drift' eventually... I just always wish I could engage in a real conversation with you ladies, so you could ask me what sign I am, and when I say "sagittarius" some nuevo-hippy could roll her eyes, say "Figures" and then explain to everyone else that Sagges can't sit down OR shut up.

I don't get to wear mine anywhere near as much as I'd like... silver with hematite bead... but now it's always the niobium retainer... that hates being in and at EVERY opportunity will slip down and look weird.
