TG's Diet

Brainstorm! For your reading pleasure, I have decided to start a running list of all of the things that TG has eaten. I started a sidebar and I will continue to add little notes as she demolishes things around the house. When I get a chance, I will take a picture of the carnage!

JR Got a Yard of Beef Over HisYard of Beef!

My mom was Jewish. Not a practicing Jew...but Jewish by heritage. That in turn made my sister and I Jewish. We started celebrating Chanukah about 10 years ago. Sarah and I learned some of the prayers and we light the candles and enjoy having a small part of my mom around every holiday season. With that said...

JR's ship came home one day early and I am super duper excited to have him back. We had a lot of catching up to do since he had missed the first 6 nights. Tonight, we all sat down to exchange the gifts and I have to say...I know my boy!

He received a new book, two new movies, a book light, a new CD, gelt...and a Yard of Beef. He could have cared less about the other stuff. My husband is addicted to long, thick sausages. He jumped up and went to cut it open. Just before, however, he did make us proud and did the Happy Gilmore with it.

Note to self: Christmas of 2007, try to find a meter of beef!

T Minus 14 hours and Counting...

For those of you that care...my sister will be landing in San Diego in 14 hours. I swear I could not be more excited! I have an entire closet full of shit that needs to be wrapped and my best little elf is about to arrive. Oh the things that I need to do before she arrives:

*Clean up the guest room
*Dismantle the "Sex Dungeon" currently in the guest room
*Dust and vaccuum
*Hide the crack
*Clean sheets on the bed
*Bury the bodies
*Scrub the bathroom
*Breakdown bathroom meth lab
*Wrap Sarah's presents
*Return the "I Love George W. Bush" poster I originally bought for Sarah for Christmas
*Wash the dishes

and last but not least...

Cut the tree in the front yard so that it looks like a giant middle finger for all my neighbors!

Got to run...lots to do!

The boss is drunk...

My office holiday party was last night. On a Monday? Hell yes on a Monday...we don't have to be in until noon on Tuesday and I am all about that.

So, I am the one who bought all of the booze (being reimbursed of course) for the party and I happen to know that there was a lot of booze there. When I started to make my exit at about midnight...I noticed that only about 1/8 of the booze was left. We all had some beers, a few cocktails, a sip or two of wine and a champagne toast.

MY BOSS GOT HAMMERED!

Now, I'm not talking "had a nice buzz going". Or even slurring a word or two. I mean stumbling over carpet lint, eyes half closed, words all jumbled, hugging on whoever was closest every two minutes ass crazy hammered. It was awesome.

Oh the walk of shame she will have to endure as she opens up Suite 100's door this afternoon!

Pet Peeves...

I love when people start their sentences out with..."you know what really bugs me..." or "One of my biggest pet peeves is..." I love to know what pisses people off and most of the time they make me laugh. In fact, one of the guys that I work with hates red heads who wear green so much that he started a new website call www.weargreenseered.com. It should be pretty entertaining so check it occasionally.

Well, tonight I was checking my e-mail and came across something that is a really big pet peeve of mine. I thought I would share...

Why is it that someone will receive an e-mail, decide to forward it on, and never check who it was sent to in the first place? If they are just speedy enough and I don't check my e-mail 50 times a day...I could actually end up getting an identical e-mail from two different people. Why must I delete both copies? Why can't you check who it was originally sent to (Aunty Linda) and not send it to me a second time (JR's mom)?

A little food for thought...what's your pet peeve?

Oh the Holidays...

MIA...I know. I have been just awful about writing this year and I think it may have been one of my resolutions. Oh well...to go 0for 7 on resolutions doesn't really make you a loser...does it? This year has been such a blur and yet crawled by so slowly at the same time. Just to get you up to speed:

Beth had Ali
Saw Sarah graduate
Sarah is now engaged (about damn time Josue)
Tried IVF...failed miserably
Trying again in early 2007
Got pooped on by a pigeon
Saw the Padres blow it in the Post season again
My best friend, Kelly, had a little boy named Ryan
My friend, Ryan, had a little boy named Caleb
Coordinated quite a few weddings this year
JR re-enlisted
Had laryngitis


All the things that TG chewed/ate in 2006:

*Woke up this morning to find that TG had chewed up my Econ notebook...considering I only have one more week of class and I can use my notes on my final...I thought I might kill her.
*McDonalds nuggets (6), french fries (Large), a ketchup packet and a honey mustard pack
*Countless magazines
*1 Inhaler
*1 Bottle of Lotion
*1 Bean and Cheese burrito from Del Taco (w/ green sauce)
*1 brand new pair of sunlgasses...had not even taken the tags off yet. She did though!
*1 Dog bed
*1 Nascar book
*4 movies
*2 XBox games


This pretty much sums up my year. I am not promising anything...but I really have missed the blog scene and will try to be better. Will that suffice?

Peace!

I'm back!

I know that it has been awhile! Things around have sure picked up over the last 8 weeks. We had my sister in town for the Christmas holiday...JR's parents were in town for a little over a week...Beth's baby shower...JR's surgery...I think I am ready for a nap! Our holidays were wonderful - so wonderful that thus far I have refused to take my Christmas lights down. Yes, we are the neighbors (the only neighbors) that will be leaving our lights up the entire month of January! Get over it...you don't pay my electric bill! I am truly looking forward to an awesome 2006 and one of my resolutions was to blog more. Here are some of my other resolutions:

I resolved...

1. To be better about keeping in touch with some important people in my life.
2. To swear less...but who the shit ass fuck am I kidding??? It doesn't really count if you type it, right?
3. To not be sick the entire year of 2006 - unless I get pregnant.
4. To get pregnant...is it right to make this a resolution? Can you really "resolve" such a thing?
5. To read more - I really miss those Garfield comic books!
6. To see my sister walk in her graduation from AIC - I suppose this isn't really my resolution but rather a large hint at Sarah that to not walk is not an option!
7. To get both business up and running and generating cash flow so that I have the freedom to do whatever I want...and to buy/drive a Mini Cooper! Fat woman in a little car!
8. To lose another 50 pounds or so - I have already lost a bet with JR for this month...so I have to put out! I will not let that happen again, dammit!

I am sure that there will be other resolutions. You can't come up with all of the resolutions you are not going to achieve in just one day...this is a month long process! Hope your first few weeks have been awesome (minus all you sick people - your lives have pretty much sucked) and I look forward to seeing what 2006 has in store for each of you!

Adios mi amigos!

Gatherings

Well ladies and gents...I figure if I can start one business...why not start a second. So, I present to you my event coordinating endeavors...Gatherings. The e-mail address is: gatheringsbynaomi@yahoo.com and the website will be: gatheringscoordination.com. My uncle Josh is currently working on designs for both logos...website URL's have been purchased...and licensing and permits are being filed. It's very exciting and very overwhelming all at the same time! JR is a little skeptical...he likes the guaranteed money that my 9-5er brings...every other Friday! I keep promising him that I will not leave my job until one or both of these businesses is completely up and running and making money consistently. You know JR though...a bit on the prudish side when it comes to our funds! So, the hope is that when we have visitors this holiday season...I will have some awesome websites already up and running, products selling and events to plan. Wish me luck!!!

I am the proud owner of a new website!!!

As you all know, I have decided to start my own business...well, this week was a landmark. I have chosen a name!!! Joy's Teaspoon! Already bought the domain name: www.joysteaspoon.com and registered an e-mail address: joysteaspoon@yahoo.com.

Licensing, health permits, inventory and packaging are next! No pressure!!

Let me know what you think!!

Damn it...I wanted to be in Lambda Lambda Lambda...wrong movie!

Hufflepuff! The Sorting Hat has spoken! You've got 75 House Points!

Head of House: Professor Sprout House Colors: Yellow and Black House Animal: The Badger Hufflepuff chose the students everyone else didnt want. Or those who didn't fit too easily into any category. Those who were cunning, but not ambitious. Those who were hardworking, though perhaps not TOO brave. Good people none the less. You are most likely the friend everyone would like to have, loyal, trustworthy, hardworking. Love sports too! You are cool in my book. The majority of people will wind up right here with you, so chances are, you will make some great friends! Some students of Hufflepuff include... Susan Bones, Justin Flinch-Fletchley, and Cedric Diggory.
