Mission Accomplished

I told him and all is well.

But I found this, and it made me think of how I was really feeling when I told him.



I hope he doesn’t read my blog one day….Hmmmm…if you are reading this post right now …sorry, but you know I couldn't resist. :-)

Help...

What is the best way to tell someone that the reason their computer is infected with spyware and had to be rebuilt was because of the porn sites they spent time on? Do you just tell them they need to be more selective of how they find it? Do you tell them that they would be better off buying some DVDs from the local porn shop? Won't this embarrass them? I feel like a doctor that has to tell her patient that he has syphilis.

The Elusive Answer

You are all on the right track.

The song is called "Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me". This is not be confused with "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from U2. Here are the lyrics, the last five lines are the part from my clip.

Hold me, hold me,
Never let me go until you’ve told me, told me,
What I want to know and then just hold me, hold me
Make me tell you I’m in love with you.

Thrill me, thrill me,
Walk me down the lane where shadows will be, will be
Hiding lovers just the same as we’ll be, we’ll be,
When you make me tell you I love you.

They told me be sensible with your new love,
Don’t be fooled thinking this is the last you’ll find.
But they never stood in the dark with you love,
When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.

Kiss me, kiss me,
And when you do I’ll know you that you will miss me, miss me,
If we ever say adieu so kiss me, kiss me,
Make me tell you I’m in love with you.

A Conversation in One Act

So, yesterday morning me and two guys from work decided to get tickets to the Avalanche Pre-season opener last night. While coordinating the logistics of getting to the game (the three of us work in three different buildings in three different parts of town), this is the conversation we had.

The parts in this play:

Tom: A pretty funny guy
Candi: Tom’s “with child” wife
Marcus: Another pretty funny guy
Linnea: Uhm…me.
Mookie: What Marcus calls any child, kid, or fetus.

Marcus: Don't Need to Ask No Stink'in Wife. I'd like to go. I do ride the bus so I would need a lift to the bus station after the game and I didn't drive to the bus stop today so that means that I have to have Barb pick me up so I guess I do have to ask her if I can go. I'm making the call now.

Tom: since candi is driving down.. we can drive you to the station...or heck we could drive you to the edge of the freeway at least....

Marcus: I have my rides worked out...the K's will drive me to the edge of Denver and I'll thumb from there. I’ve been informed that we have to be prepared to throw our bodies in front of any oncoming puck heading for Mookie, are you ready for this Linnea? When should I be at the building?

Marcus: I can make to the building by 6...I'd like a cold one waiting for me.

Linnea: Sounds fine by me. I don't have a jacket/sweatshirt to get home in on my scooter. Anyone have a giant one they can lend me?

Marcus: you can be the first to wear the Av's jersey we're buying

Linnea: Hmmm...will that be warm enough? :-)

Tom: I have one in my locker in my cube

Marcus: Fine, I'll wear the Av's jersey.

Tom: I could have candi bring my avoholics jersey

Linnea: How bout I just wear the one in Tom's locker (if it is giant enough) and doesn't smell bad.... Then you two can fight over the avaholic one...

Marcus: Naw, I want one with Gretzky's number

Tom: Gordie howe

Linnea: Do you even know what Gretzky's number was?

Marcus: I just know he was one of the greatest Avalanchers to ever lace of a pair of skis

Tom: Or wear a garter

Marcus: Skis, skates it's really all the same...one of those Commie sports

Marcus: Have Candi stop by a pick up a 12'er and some brats...and make sure she cools the beer down...will she be able to lift the grill into your truck?

Tom: Honey... Here is a request for you...

Marcus: It will be good to see you again, Candi. Please don't hurt yourself with the grill...get a neighbor to help you (if Tom hasn't pissed off all of them).

Tom: oh i pissed most off.. a few have been more resilient than i would have thought

Marcus: I just wouldn't want the baby to come early, I know that grill is heavy.

Candi: OK, I can do the beer and brats but don't think I can lift the grill in the
truck. So, any other plans???

Tom: Of course not, the tailgate is too high..Put it in the car.. Geez.. I have to think of everything..

Marcus: Maybe you can stop and buy a hibachi?

Tom to Candi: You know what a hibachi is, Hefe?

Marcus: I just spit sunflower seeds all over my self...Tom, you're the man.

Candi: hahahahaha. I'll do what I can for ya but lifting the grill just isn't gonna happen. Besides Tom has got it locked down and doesn't give me a key for fears that I'll ruin his baby.

Linnea: The Grill "baby" or the real baby?

Tom: We all know the answer to that

Candi: The grill baby.

Marcus: That'll all change in a few months...I feel sorry for the baby already, not that his life is ruined, but T is his dad.

Tom: Ok, candi has agreed to pick us up at pat's.. So hussle up

A Jail Story

Last week my sister and I went to visit a friend in jail. (Well, actually, more of Verity’s friend than mine, but she won’t go to the jail alone). Next to us in the visiting area were two sisters and their kids. They were visiting one of the sister’s husband/boyfriend/baby-daddy. When the visit was over, the 4 year old boy was just screaming and crying because he didn’t want to leave his daddy. On the way back to the elevators, Ver and I were talking about our families with a lady and her niece that had been visiting someone on the other side of us. The niece (about 15 years old) was FLOORED, FLABERGASTED, and just plain AMAZED that Verity and I have the same MOM and DAD, and that we have two more siblings…from the same MOM and DAD! She was so shocked that we didn’t even bother to tell them that they were actually married too!

You always hear about the break down of the family, but this was the first time I have ever been confronted by someone who thought that a “normal” family set up was extremely “abnormal”.

Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc.

For the first time in a LONG time I read the first blog I enjoyed. It is the TVGal Blog at zap2it. She had a post about the TV characters she would love to be. So, I started thinking...in my life, which TV characters have I wanted to be. Here is my list.

The first years... (I spent my TV time with Nickelodeon)

• Mary Stone -- "The Donna Reed Show"
• Patty OR Cathy Lane -- "The Patty Duke Show"

• 1989-1992 D.J. Tanner -- "Full House"
• 1992-1993 Blossom -- "Blossom" (only because I was jealous of her hat collection)
• 1993-1996 Lois Lane -- but ONLY from "Lois & Clark"

Hmmm...no TV during college... so .... Post-college

• C.J. Cregg -- "The West Wing"
• Kaylee Frye --"Firefly"

What TV character did you want to be (or grow up to be)?
