Random Tuesday Thoughts...

If you're looking for some great entertainment, be sure to pop over and visit The Un Mom. If you're looking for some other form of entertainment, read on.
  • My son received his first college acceptance letter in the mail. He has been accepted to the Multimedia Production & Design Technician program at Humber College in Toronto. He’s still holding out for the Film and Television Production program. I’m hopeful his wishes will come true.
  • My baby boy is growing up and now, I have the tuition bill to prove it. I’m so proud of him, but at the same time, I’m not sure I’m 100% in love with the idea. *sigh*
  • Most days, I’m still in love my husband, but I’m not sure how I feel about sharing an “empty nest” with him. God help us both.

That’s enough about that depressing subject…

  • My boss will be returning from his vacation today. Not that he is a bad guy or anything, but I’ll be the first to admit that I like my job much better when he is out of the office.
  • Everything that was an “emergency” last week that I was unable to deal with on my own - will today, become a full blown pandemic.
  • This past weekend, I went to see “From Paris With Love”, starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. It won’t be nominated for any academy awards, but it had plenty of action, violence, attitude and gun play. John Travolta’s character was over-the-top and fun. If there was one negative - I would have to say it was Jonathan Rhys-Meyers’ moustache.
  • We are expecting a snow storm tomorrow. Even though I hate winter, I really hope a blizzard arrives. I could use a “snow day”.

I hope you get the snow day too!!! I'd love one of those as well, however the university NEVER closes and Wed is my "busy" day there...so I don't want it to snow 'til Wed night after I'm home...hee!!

Is the film & production program your son wants to get into in Vancouver? My cousin did the one year program over/up there! He loved it.

Gosh, that almost makes me sad to think about my kiddo growing up so fast and *gasp* college! It will be here so fast I am sure!

I want to see that movie too - I really like JRM. He is cute but I really started liking him after watching that series "the tudors". I love that show and love his acting in it. Did his 'stache make him look scary?

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she ask...

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un...

Heard It Through A Cube Wall...Version 3.0

The saga of my neighbors in the HR Department continues.  As hard as they are to believe, these are true stories – based on true accounts.  I try not to engage these individuals in conversation because, honestly - I just don’t have the energy.  BUT since I happen to sit in close vicinity to them, I can’t hide from their stupid questions or avoid getting sucked into their conversations. HR Assistant:     (yelling over the wall at me) - How do you spell “dub-a-u”? Me:   Huh? HR Assistant:   I said, how do you spell “dub-ah-u”? Me:   Do you have something in your mouth?  What language are you speaking? HR Assistant:   I’m not speaking anything.  I’m trying to type the word “dub-a-hu” and spell check is telling me it is spelled wrong. Me:   Are you trying the type the word “W”, as in the lette...
