Formal Apology To All

Hey Cricket, sorry I missed you.

I know that there are others out there that do comment but it just seemed when I posted that yesterday that lately it was DD and Kellie that were up for the challenge of letting me know that someone was still reading my boring old blog. I know before the ADs it was a lot more exciting. Sorry but I am not going off of them just to add some excitement to the blog, they are doing their job and life is much better at the old homestead because of them.

So DD wrote about toilet paper and I feel sorry for myself that only two people had checked in and told me I was naked yesterday and we get all kinds of responses.

Just so you know, I have turned into a lurker on most of your blogs, I just don't have much to share that would be any better then what others have posted most of the time or I just don't know what to say. So know I am reading and when I get inspired I will comment.

In other interesting news some of the items that have shown up on Stats Counter:
Department of Veterans Affairs, Chicago
Ministry of National Development, Singapore
Law Firm, Milwaukee
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Reston, Virginia
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Isreal
Gurgaon, Haryana, India
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Stockton, California
Culpeper, Virginia
Derry, New Hampshire
Phoenix, Arizona
Minneapolis, Minnesota
San Francisco, California

Atlanta, Georgia
Denver, Colorado
Seattle, Washington
Rensselaer, New York
Medford, Massachusetts
Cherry Hill, New Jersey
Everett, Washington
Euclid, Ohio
St.Paul, Minnesota
Maitland, Florida
Dearborn, Michigan

This is what showed up on my stats counter. What is funny is that I know where some of you are from and that is not showing up on stats counter. Like Kellie and DD, you are on there, so where the hell do those internet connections go when you sign on? Kind of weird.

So I want to welcome all that have come from wherever and stopped here. If you found this due to a loss, I am so sorry, if you found this because of my swearing, again so sorry. Leave a comment and put your mark on the map. I know that there are still some of you out there that haven't done that yet. Hint, hint. ;)

So this what entertains me most days. Have a good one and again, I am sorry if I missed saying thanks for being there for me and leaving comments, none of you are chopped liver, you are way better then that. Take care.

Hi Catherine and Jess!

Ok, I have to apologize to Catherine and Jess, they are regular commenters and I have not been providing any posts for them to comment on. Sorry about that.

Jess asked about the new house.
Well I am getting it homey, finally. I have decided what color I will paint the living room once it is nice enough to open the windows. The color is Gooseberry, it is a dark plum color. I have an area rug that has a square this color and other squares in the rug will match up with my furniture and if not then I will just recover the furniture.

Still waiting for the damn trailer to sell, anyone want to buy a 14 X 70, 2 bedroom, 2 bath trailer? If one of the previous owners had not taken the axles off and SOLD them I would say it is movable, but unfortunately unless you have a set of axles it is stuck in the trailer park. The whole inside has been redone, like new.

So once the trailer sells I will be redoing the bathroom so that the tub drains when you are showering and have a tub that has a bottom that you could possibly set your bottom on if you wanted to take a bath. I have uploaded some pictures of the house to a photobucket account so if you want to see some pictures of the place email me and I will give you the user name and password, if I can remember them. ;)

I still need to decide what color to paint the dining room, that red is driving me nuts. It does turn out nice in the pictures though, which is weird, maybe if we had a light in the room that was bright instead of the damn broken "mood" lighting that we have going on now.

I was doing the feel sorry for Shanna post with saying no one comments, I guess how can you comment when I haven't been posting? So that is going to change, maybe, or not, who knows. I do appreciate you commenting when you feel the urge and I know my posts have been incredibly boring lately, I guess the ADs are making me pretty boring. I kind of feel like I just don't care about anything, not much sets me off anymore and I just don't feel like doing much.

So Kellie, I am a lazy friend but for you will put more effort into it so that we can get out of our houses once in a while and go do stuff. ;)

Copy Cat Day For Me I Guess


You are The Empress


Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.


The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.


The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.


What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.



I took this from Sarah. Looks like a few of us have decided to throw our luck in to the Tarot Cards and see what happens. Don't you think the part about being "the womb where it gestates" is so not me? Hello! Nothing happening in here for over a year now, not really a nurturing environment to gestate and grow.

Wanted to give a shout out to the new people who braved putting their dot on my map. Thanks! Glad you stopped by and hope you stop by and delurk. Leave a comment, even if it is just to say hi. I am sure Kellie and DD are getting tired of being the only ones leaving me comments and I think it cause they feel sorry for me, sniff, sniff. So help them out, take a bit of burden off of them with comments, ok? Thanks.

Oh and Kellie, totally hurt about your post on the no friend thing, what am I? Chopped Liver? sniff, sniff. I keep begging for you to call me, are you mad that DD called me first? ;) Just giving you crap. I actually tracked down a girl that was one of my best friends in college and then for years after until I told her what I thought about a guy(jerk) she was dating and probably is married to by now. She is in Chicago still and I am debating about emailing her.

If you are reading here from the law firm in Milwaukee, that is kind of freaking me out as I work with people at that firm occassionally.

I Got Nothing

Really, not alot happening here in Wisconsin. The holidays are over and unfortunately the psycho sister-in-law must have been taking her meds as she was fairly normal. The brat children tormented the dog the whole time we were there and she was very happy to come home to the pissy cats. At least they don't chase her around the house non-stop.

I am attempting to do this "create a face" thing and get it to post on my profile. So bear with me today as that will most likely cause several times of posting, checking, changing and all that good stuff.

So here is goes, I think I have to post it here and then move it to my profile. I want to thank the creators of the Portrait Illustration for letting me use their software.



Couldn't really get the whole crooked nose thing on here so imagine the nose leaning to the left a bit.

Update, Since it was pointed out that I was NAKED in the last picture I suppose I will attempt to dress myself, they don't have the whole, ear muffs, winter coat and gloves thing so I did the best I could. Notice the trees of Wisconsin behind me? Some of my trees still have a couple green leaves and the grass is still green in my yard, it is freaking January, hello global warming, I love you!
