The Grossest sang-witch EVER!
So, I have had a very family heavy week this week.
Tonight, I was on the phone with my bro for a quite a while, and Mister decided he was hungry for dinner,
Since I was not hungry for dinner, he went to the kitchen and made himself a sang-witch.
He made a peanut butter and jap-a-leeno chedda’ cheese on marbled rye with pumpernickel.
That must be the very last choice in a sandwitch that I would EVER make.
gross.

Oprah saved my dish
So, we lost service on our pvr dish last monday. We made an appointment to get it fixed on Saturday, but the f**ers stiffed us. Antoher story for another day . . .
We have been snowed into the house since Friday, and doing the best we can to watch movie we have on hand and surf the internet to pass the time.
Today, we were watching a dvd - Saved -I highly reccomend! - and the pvr receiver clicked on. I was about 4, and I joked the the darn thing turned on just for Oprah.
Well, it turns out that it did. We have the TV back. Of course, I am afraid to change the channel of turn it off since it probably won’t turn back on.
How funny - Oprah saved my TV!!! Praise Oprah!!

Blizzard of 2005!
So, I grew up in Buffalo, NY, which to most people automatically means that I “love” the snow or at least “know how to handle it.” This always bugs me, and I reply, “yeah, that is why I moved to the desert as soon as I could.”
Well, in an ironic twist in our lives, Mister and I were sent away from the desert and back to the North East. So, here we sit today, in the blizzard of 2005. Turns out, I do know how to handle it. It is not like this snow was some kind of surprise. (72 inches for Christmas 2002 in Buffalo was a surprise - and I don’t like surprises) On Friday after work, in true Buffalo-style, Mister and I went to the grocery to get “rations.”
We now sit here on Sunday morning drinking coffee, and getting ready to make a full brunch for two, mimosas included. That is what you do when it shits-down snow. Stay in until the streets clear, or at least the snow stops - which is has not - and wait. We have food, booze and entertainment - I feel some yatzee with house rules coming on - we play with special 6s.
Anyhoo, my Mother called this morning to be sure we were okay. After all, the National Guard has been called into evacuate the North and South Shores (we only live about 2 miles from the ocean.) We are totally fine thanks to my snow-emergency-up-bringing. I wanted to go online to check out the Hull, MA webcam to see the breaking tide, and it is covered in snow! Funny.
As I sit in wait, I hope you are all having as wonderful a Sunday morning as we are. This gives us the excuse to be lazy! I wonder if the paperboy delivered the Sunday paper . . .

So, . . . here I am
It has been a long time that I have been away.
When I last spoke, I lived in a 120 ft perch 8 hours a day, five days per week.
I have left my perch for a stable in the country. I am currently confined to a much larger space - maybe 150 or so, and I look out into, well, the woods. I only relocated about 5 miles, but it really is a world away. Instead of watching peeps cross Comm Ave and jump out of the way of the B-line, I get chased into the building by giant wild turkeys and stalked by fat ass squirels outside my window.
Life is good, but my new digs bring new responsibilty, and very little time for idle musings.
I will try to improve . . .
