Final thoughts and a special recipe...
One more entry for the night…
It’s been a strange – yet good – couple of days.
After last night’s momentous Martha Stewart bashing session, I had a panic attack (with tight chest this time…don’t like that…) and went to the emergency room to get checked out. I got my ‘scripts refilled and some good referrals for future help that I can hopefully afford while waiting for things to pan out for my job search and insurance acquisition therein. Doug and I are still on the great safari for the perfect condo, and have some possibilities.
But in the clouds, there is the sun. Why, do you ask?
Well, let me lay it on ya…
I had to go to the Manpower office to drop off some paperwork, and I ran into Zee, a person I had sat across the hall from during one of my first temp assignments for Manpower. We had become good friends last summer but had lost touch, and I thought she was angry at me for some reason. Turns out there had been a lot going on in her life as well and we just kind of put each other on hold. It was great – I squealed like my niece Courtney and we gave each other big old hugs and picked up where we left off. Turns out, her daughter is signing up with Manpower as a temp as well, trying to get footing in the job market. I kept her company while her daughter was testing on various skills and caught up with each other. Hopefully we’ll be able to catch up with each other more as summer turns into fall, etc. I’m just so happy…I was grinning like an idiot all the way home! It makes me so happy to make connections like that. I know it sounds hokey, but I really bonded with her…she made me think of my first husband’s mother, who I adored.
Well, let’s see…what else can I report?

Well, let’s see…what else can I report?
- Go to http://www.redcross.org/ and do your part to support Hurricane Katrina victims. I know I will try. I am embarrassed, though….I read on one of the Yahoo! News headlines that they rescued Fats Domino from all the chaos in New Orleans. Now, am I the only one that thought he had passed on a while ago? I can’t be the only one! I guess I need to make the “oldies” concert circuit more often, huh?
- Ol’ Gretchen “Redneck Woman” Wilson is stirring up trouble with her hit song “Skoal Ring”. I can’t honestly say I blame advocacy groups for this one, because if the saying holds true that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray, what does that say about kissing someone that chews? Yet another “thing that makes you go EEEWWW!”
- Britney “So I married a freeloader” Spears is considering a stint in Vegas after giving birth to her wee squab. Great…just what this country needs…another JOEY HEATHERTON. (For those of you who are reading this and don’t know who Joey is, look her up on the Internet or ask your parents/grandparents/anyone at least 25-40 years older than you.
- My buddy Jewel in TX has also brought up the fact that there is an “ad” (as in satirical) asking you to have a nice hot cup of shut the f**k up. Please understand that this is in no way similar to my EXCLUSIVE RANCHO SUDIEGIRL concoction of “Shut the Hell Up”. For the records, here is the recipe as concocted by my own bad self and my friend “Circe” (whose true identity must stay hidden for reasons beyond my control…basically, she asked me to, and I said yes.)
½ cup vinegar
½ cup jalapeno pepper juice
3 drops of Tabasco
Erthworms, fish entrails, and five-week old Oscar Mayer salami
Putrid gym socks (your average 15-year-old’s will do nicely)
Blood, spit, bile and other bodily fluids
(NOTE: please ask permission to obtain these…)
Preparation: Wear gas mask, combine ingredients in blender, hit “Frappe”…serve over ice to those you absolutely cannot stand. I guarantee they won’t say a word as they run to the restroom and immediately- shall we say – release the product?
And on that note…Smooches to all!
