5:15 PM|and whilst i am still sitting here (waiting for copy to be handed to me so i can design the last minute web thing that has to go out tonight - the thing that is causing me to leave late, hitting mega-benny traffic and cancel out on tonight's festivies - post-poning them til tomorrow....) i am bored and taking photos of my back. this is down the back of my shirt... ah.... see the fresh new skin that's going to fry tomorrow as i garden?

guys, doesn't this make you want to run your hands all over my back??? sexy, eh?


(ok. ok. i am hiding the photo, so you have to click here to be disgusted!)



thank you. this has been the Friday Five Layers of Peeling Skin Update at 5PM

2:36 PM|Scratchy MacFarland coming to you live from saddle brook new jersey....

i am heading down the shore for the weekend again.... i PROMISE to wear sunblock as i mulch...

(supposed to go out with kerry, jen and linda tonight - possibly to the union landing, but it's supposed to thunderstorm tonight, so the patio there might not be the best bet...)

11:11 PM|i didn't pick up the NYTimes this past sunday... i should have... these incredible articles were in it....

102 MINUTES : Fighting to Live as the Towers Died


and

Accounts From the North Tower


as well as

Accounts From the South Tower


(you might have to register with the NY Times if you can't view the article... don't worry, it's free...)

9:03 PM|so.... something happened today at work at around 3:30pm... the transformer in the building blew... no power... fire trucks everywhere... we were evacuated...

so, what did the marketing team do? well, we did what anyone in a crisis should do and we went directly across the street to the bar in the hotel there and started drinking. i had sour apple martinis... mother of pearl they were nice!!!!

then we went out for hibachi and i had hibachi shrimp and chicken... yun... and JUST walked in the door about 5 minutes ago... it's 9pm now....for some reason blogger's new version keeps messing up the time stamp

all in all, twas a great day at work!!!

2:14 PM|mmmm... chicken crepes and bruscietta (sp?) were the specials in the corporate cafeteria today... had a smidge and a big ol' bucket of fruit salad... yep... i HAVE to get on that weight watchers bandwagon again... at least i haven't gained the weight i lost over the past year back... just sort of hovering in Fat Purgatory for the past few months...

but when the heck can i find the time to go to a meeting. never know when i will get outta work... and there IS a meeting nearly everyday in paramus... here's the sad thing... i get paid on friday, and i am down to my last 9 dollars. crazy. this is the closest i have been to the nitty gritty since i was unemployed. damned bills. anyway, meetings are between $9.95 and $12.95 per week... not to mention the fact that i have to re-register..... that's at least $25

*whine* whine* whine*

okay... so, i had been 198 about a year and a half ago.. and i am now still in the 160's (gonna go out on a limb and say HIGH 160's) since losing weight over the past year....

don't mind me, i am just trying to talk myself into re-joining ww again... pay no heed...

i just figure that if i am going to be subjecting all y'all to images of me in a bathing suit, it might as well look keen.

blah blah blah. now back to the cafeteria to purchase a bucket of coffee... really am slacking today and i shouldn't be. have a major deadline.

7:39 AM|the stinging has actually subsided now... a little pain, but not anything like the past few days...although now my back seems to be turning into an armadillo... oh well.

now to think about work instead of how my skin will be peeling off my back easier than when i stripped the wallpaper in my bathroom... gotta hop in the shower in a minute...

i have to go back down the shore on friday, though, to put down mulch and plant flowers and put up some fencing stuff...

not for nothing, but i pray that there is a BIG cloud hovering over my mom's condo so i am not in the sun.... or maybe i will splurge on SPF 80

anyway, there's a show at sweet caroline's in NYC (46th street & 9th avenue) this friday at 8pm - I AM NOT IN IT - but if anyone is at a loss for something to do, go check it out... my comedy sister Monica Hargrove is co-running it... she asked me last night to perform, but i had plans already dagnabit....


12:53 AM|tired as heck. can't sleep.each time i move in my bed i have needles jabbing into my back.... am i a little melodramatic about the sunburn? hoping that by morning it will be a deep dark luxorious tan.... for 27 minutes before i become a leper and start molting.

6:42 PM|okay.... another photo to give y'all a peek into my life that is about to be chock full o' skin cancer



and this is saturday and sunday... what i was doing to get burnt...(i am whining.)




yes. i broke a shovel. and yes, i lost my mind when i dug up those roots and such... those babies were at LEAST 40 pounds each! and mother of Gawd, my chest looks HUGE (i was leaning on an angle holding the root thing with one hand and snapping athe camera with my other hand...it was heavy!).... i do post my most "flattering" photos don't i!? har.

yes. i was showing off my muscles, yet it looks as if i was just showing y'all that i shave my armpits. stay tuned... in a few days i plan to have some NICE peeling skin photos!!! mmmmmmmmm!!!!

so the sunburn is killing me... BUT i have found something that is helping make me feel a helluvalot better... the vincent van go*go cd arrived in the mail today!!! yay!!! hoopty, darlin'... you ROCK!!!

3:57 PM|so... i mentioned how i had been slaving away for my mom this weekend, digging up umpteen bushes and ivy and lugging gardening supplies hither and tither all over god's country in the blazing hot sun for 3 days... right??? this photo doesn't do my back justice. i am in pain. and guys, let me tell you, i hate this torture device called a bra that i am sporting right now as it digs into my flesh with all it's victoria's secret thorns...

pretty, eh?


9:24 AM|and on a happier note... the review of gigglechick (version 2) is up and running on the weblog review...
so go check it out and vote (with a 5 thank you) and keep me in the reader's top 5 -- right under wil wheaton...

9:12 AM|oh joy. some lovely fella (or lady... who knows) posted porn in my guestbook for the second time in a week... that's so sweet of them...so for today i have left it up there (so hide the kiddies if you don't want to scare them...)i have left it up there because i have contacted the companies and alerted them to the number of the person who posted... IP address: 172.182.94.75
179.chicago-36-37rs.il.dial-access.att.net


(note: hey JACKASS, you didn't think you really could get away with this did you?!? keep posting them, because i am only going to take them down in an hour after the folks at - what was it? - nastydollars.com and last week's delightful site get you for stealing their images. no skin off my nose, pal. porn doesn't shock me, and writing that those photos are of me "making my money"... well thanks for thinking that i am an anorexic blonde that is doing so... apparently you aren't an avid reader of my site... i only whore my design skills and that is obviously Miss Clairol #197 FlaxenWhore, while i am a Natural Instincts "Tweed" color... and come on... my rack is on the hoopty rack browser already, why would i need to post it on MY site)

anyway folks, pardon the porn.
