um... does anyone have a spare stomach and/or head laying around that i can borrow?

*groan*

actually, not all that hungover - headachy. that's all.

this morning was the "sopping up the alcohol breakfast" at the diner (french fries with gravy, french toast, sausage, and a bacon egg & cheese sammich... apparently, my 1st resolution of the year is to gain 45 pounds.)

last night was a lot of fun, kerry, linda and i went to harpoon willy's for dinner - linda left (she has a cold) and ker & i stayed at the bar... it was a little dead there - so we crossed the bridge (by foot) and went to peterson's (actually, it's now called the marina grille , but i still call it the old name)

did a lot of dancing... yes. i danced. my damned legs are killing me!

eh, wound up flirting with some guy who had he girlfriend right next to him (she was a wet noodle.) danced with him to Crazy Train...

anyway - there was some huge italian guy who looked like he belonged on the sopranos... i kept passing him and yapping at him throughout the evening... but only addressing him as "Johnny FishHead"... no idea.

i mocked the band (Overboard). actually, just mocked the lead singer... some little weasly guy was in a kilt (i love guys in kilts, but he did nothing for me)

i discovered this morning that i lost the bracelet my aunt gave me last year for xmas - it was my nana's bracelet... i have calls out to the restaurants - visited peterson's. have to call willy's later - and i also walked back over the damned bridge to recreate the trek.

nothing.

i checked my cell phone this morning... a lot of drunken happy new year calls were made last night apparently *groan*

today = nothing. just sleeping and eating.

tomorrow - i have to go up to work in the office. *sigh*

how was everyone's new year's eve!!???

(oh... and i forgot to say "Rabbit, Rabbit" this morning because my cousin's dog jumped on my head and woke me up... looks like i have to say "Tibbar, Tibbar" tonight before bed)

ladies and gents... about 4 minutes ago, the first screaming match of the new year between gigglemom and myself just happened (note: i am not saying ended.)

where folks aren't getting screamed at by their mother at the age of 33...

go congratulate christine now!!

she had a very sparkly new year's eve

heh... well, let's see what y'all have been posting today...

• as we all know, christine just got engaged last night. again... congrats!

• wendy's been driving around rapping about anacondas invading iowa and driving in hondas

• michele is yapping about the orange terror hats

• jen's been living the life i want today.

• krix is resolving to still stalk admire keanu...

• kymberlie took a photo of some hot chick all gussied up for new year's

• michael's stomach is all acidy...

• paul's hunkering down and o.d'ing on college football

• skits seems to be obsessed with only one team

• jen is cackling at her swapping of images, thus, thwarting the evil image thieves that are in a flamewar

• c.c. is calling his resolutions "goals" now... and making j-lo bobblehead dolls (i think a bobble ass would sell better...)

me? well, i am dragging laundry downstairs in 4 minutes because mom's been yelling...

i resolve to regress to the point of being 11 years old again while living with my mother...

oh, that, and i'm gonna lose 50 pounds this year. you heard me. fitty.

and... gonna try to clean my room.

um... and that whole "get organized" thing, too.

ah... my first bit of hatemail in the new year (a response to an email sent a month ago regarding this post)... yay! everyone go and wish "Carly" a happy new year, hmmmmm?

guess what i forgot to do before hitting the hay last night!?!?

feeling like a monday.

well, here i am at the office. my work is done and it's 11am. *sigh*

anyway... let's see...

*sigh* the danged 10:45am meeting tomorrow has been canceled because the one guy's wife is ill and he has to take his granddaughter to see beauty and the beast.

i still will be chatting with the chairman at 12:30 though - hoping (but doubting) that the web guy will be there.

last night.... i went to bingo at st. mary's of the lake church.

i was 1 number away from winning $2248... and then some old lady screamed out "BINGO!!!!!!!!!!"

stepping back into mom's house after bingo was like taking a walk in the fresh country air.

seriously. there was a guy behind me that had 4 packs of cigarettes in front of him. he went through three between 7pm and 12am

during the progressive game, my eyes would not stop tearing from the thick cloud of smoke... yet i couldn't wipe them because the caller was going way fast... so, i let my eyes burn and the salt water flow down my cheeks...

yeah. i'm hardcore.

the guys walking around with bingo cards thought i was upset at the numbers...

um... no... the fact i can't see or breathe was to blame... just that. nothing big.

mother of god.

somehow - and i am going to recreate my steps here - i brushed my teeth, then i put my deodorant on... i guess i got some deodorant on my hand... somehow a blob of deodorant wound up on the corner of my mouth (no. i wasn't licking my armpit) and i thought it was toothpaste...

so, i wiped it off with my finger and to get the extra fresh breath, i licked it off...

it's degree powder fresh breath that i am sporting now.

i feel ill.

not for nothing, i am not trying to start a growlfest, but i sorta feel a little used.

about the previous post...

nate rocks :)

okay - i had been a member of the flylady.net site a couple of years ago, then i forgot about it...

in the spirit of the "get organized and get cleaning" resolution, i am rejoining the yahoo group...

go wish michael a fantastically happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so... and i am not believing this, i think he was framed or something.... my priest (when he was at st. denis, then at st. martha's) was arrested in Ireland the other day for "committing an act of gross indecency on or towards a child" over 30 years ago.

okay... just had a big ol' bronchial-esque cough blare out of me from deep within...

now am likkered up on cherry flavoured nyQuil.

(any excuse to do the Q, my friends...)

i nearly forgot to post the paltry amount of photos that i took on new year's eve... the batteries died at a record rate that night.

okay - i am not saying this is "gourmet" or anything, but, as far as diet foods go... the slimfast fettucini alfredo rocks!! i was afraid to try it, but i broke down...

best part - it's only 5 points on weight watchers...

sure, it's a bunch of carbs, but it's not bad!

so, it's good while i am on erin's-weight-watchin'-slimfast-lean-cuisine-trimspax32-south-beach-one-a-day-weight-smart diet.

trimspa x32 - 1st pill taken

[hopefully, this one makes me smaller and isn't the one that makes me 10 feet tall]

brewed a huge pot of coffee this morning - all ready to pour in my go cup and take to work... about 15 miles into my 70 mile commute, i reached down for the elixor and there wasn't a mug.

i'd forgotten to pour the damned thing.

*sigh*

too late to turn back and get the java

at least i had a hearty slimfast for breakfast.

okay. the day has consisted - so far - of:

i may not be as chunky as anna nicole, but i seem to be getting her brain...

hmmmm. let's see:

• achy shoulders and back
• dog tired
• sore throat
• deep cough
• slight chill
• (and i wanna go home and sleep)

um... well, doc... what's your prognosis?

i just took nyQuil and iiiiiatkdahkshdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

working from home today.

actually i feel like hell... mom growled at me to go into the office... so i got up, showered, was about to do my makeup and realized i am exhausted and achy and sneezy and coughy and - here's the worst part - i am whiny. very effing whiny.

yes. i realize that.

so i am working from home.

so, i posted that bit about the nyQuil last night. took it at 10:30. the last look at the clock that i remember was 10:39. how loopy is that? i love the big Q.

so as i said... working from home. so's my copywriter. and 4 others have been sick this week in my department alone.

*sniffle*

by the way... happy birthday elvis!

looks like the 2004 bloggies are calling for nominations again... a lot of controversy last year... i am sure there's more to be had this year... so, go over there and nominate your favourite blog(s)

okay, folks... here you go... have a blast... everyone is doing this... it's sweeping the nation...

happiness!

as seen on Not Me!...

i used to use something called pixelspy, but this is very sweet....

try Pixie...

(thanks, Shelli!)

awwww... mom just called from work, she's getting out of there and wanted to know if she should pick up dinner for me...

yes!

so she's getting a turkey dinner from Hinck's Turkey Farm

i love hinck's... the actual farm was where we had our very first class trip when i was in kindergarten

heh... so far, the stalker in the lead is brykmantra!
(mando? only 29 points!? *tsk*)

working from home again today.
still sick. (mom's home with the sickness as well.)

for some reason my stomach is wambling like mad this morning.

most likely from the flu (no, wait, i am not going to give in and call it the flu - it can't be the flu... i am in denial...)

i haven't seen LOTR 2 or 3 yet - but for all y'all who loves the gollum....

here you go...

so, i have a parade meeting tomorrow at 12:30... am supposed to go to lunch with one of the girls afterwards... right now i am feeling like having one soda downstairs at the shillelagh's and then heading home to sleep...

....

how sad is this... a california couple went to iran on vacation (i know. i don't know why, either) and were caught in the earthquake - the woman (who recently beat the cancer odds) is alive but the guy didn't make it... what made my throat close up was when they mentioned that he had just proposed to her the night before -- which would have been christmas...

....

on a not that sad, but kinda yeowch-shocking-note:
this guy woke up on the subway with a steak knife in him

gotta love the line:

"The wound did not require surgery, but Agapinan says it may speed up his plans to move out of the city."

i would have already been packing my things before the tip of the blade was pulled out of my chest...

... nah... who am i kidding? i didn't move out of philly after i was mugged at knifepoint (and sliced behind my ear) - nor did i move out of jersey city in 98 when i was stalked and followed into the park near my brownstone where the guy grabbed my arm and attempted to kiss me... where i somehow found the wits to use the heel of my palm and jammed his chin, then kneed the groin, then kicked him behind his knee as he was doubled over causing the jackass to fall to the ground where i kicked him 3 times in the stomach before running like a bat out of hell out of there...

never saw him again.

anyway... just took fresh nyQuil... hitting the hay.

so... since i started writing on MT (oct 02) i have accumulated 2999 comments (more if you count those i've deleted)

anyway - i have to drag myself into the shower - meeting is in an hour and it takes 10 min to get there...

it is WAY too effing cold out... 6 degrees. SIX.

michael is commenter #3000!!!

i am way too tired and achy to go to the meeting today - besides, i don't want to get everyone there sick - i know a few of them were sick last week... i'll go next weekend... in fact, i have to. mandatory, since the first fundraiser is on the 18th.

today... rest -- except for having to run to the grocery store (mom needs ingredients for desserts and stuff for the Hooha tomorrow)

woooooooo! go PATS!!!!

crap - i am flying solo at the hooha today - kerry bailed

so we were evacuated from my office (the entire building) today at 3pm... got home a little while ago.

apparently, there were 4 water main breaks in saddle brook.

so, i caught the very beginning of the sleet that's falling right now - glad i wasn't stuck in commuter traffic...

hey there - no, i haven't been exactly "following" the plan lately - desperately trying to kick myself back into gear.

but, heard on the radio (wplj) this morning that they are coming out with this stuff... Carb Options...

it's supposed to be in the grocery stores this week - if it's not there already... either in the low-carb/diet section or in a specific aisle (say you want low carb salad dressing... voila! it's in the salad dressing aisle)

it sounded pretty good - and they had them taste it during the interview and none of the dj's sounded like they were gagging, so i may have to purchase some of this stuff..

cheers!

(p.s. - had i mentioned lowcarb.allrecipes.com ever? probably not - seeing as i just had 7 pieces of rye bread tonight... *shaking my head and lowering it in shame* and no... i didn't take my trimspa today...)

i am leaving for Marathon Key in FL one month from tomorrow... i had better kick it into gear before i head down there looking like a sausage in a bathing suit who wishes that those old 1920's wrist to ankle suits were back in fashion!

10 DOG PEEVES ABOUT HUMANS

can't believe spalding gray is missing.

um... remember to either wear a sports bra - or don't jump up and down so much when you win a game show.

Though this is a little long — read it...

hey all - if you are in NJ this weekend - be sure to stop by the belmar st. patrick's day parade fundraiser on sunday - here's the info:

check out the NEW site - i just designed

i tried to talk them into having a guestbook - but for some ungodly reason, the web guy is opposed to it (or, maybe just opposed to me)

okay. i feel old. driving to work this morning, i was scanning the stations and they had "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" playing on wcbsfm... the oldies station.

i was 13 when that came out and now it's on an oldies station... noooooo... y'all are supposed to just play Del Shannon or the Platters or the Spinners or the Spinning Platters... or Del Shannon's Platter that Spins.

Not Cyndi Lauper.

snowing. got home around 10pm from the WOIH meeting - i am now officially registered with them...

so, it started snowing around 8:30... the meeting ended at 9:30ish... it seemed to start sticking right away.

so far we have about 2 inches i think... looks like anyway

now to hunker under the comforter and wait for the foot of snow they're calling for (actually, more since i live in ocean county)

if it's crazy-ass accumulation, it's a working-from-home-day
