The bored is moving too slowly for my patience (I am in queue on the phone for a service call).
So... whatever you want to say! Post it here!
I had a friggin nightmare of a day - bounced between the CEO, the VP of marketing, and the NEW VP of engineering to coordinate a project I wasn't even SUPPOSED to coordinate.
I am enjoying being home though. Windows open, hear the sea. My plumeria isn't blooming yet. That sucks.
Tomorrow I fly to Buffalo to visit one of my best friends. We're going to an 80's themed costume party on Saturday. I'm going as Joan Jett, and I just cut and dyed my hair into a reasonable variation of a Joan Jett do.
OMG Foxy that is SO COOL! Picture please? I love the 80s. That sounds like a blast.
And JR... you are a soxs fan right? Apologies in advance. As many can attest to, I really only pay attention to Football.
ETA: Foxy I actually just remembered! I saw Joan Jett and the Blackhearts open for the Police in Witchita Kansas in like.. what? 1980? She was awesome.

They were winning 1-0, now they're losing 3-1.
The Sox did win the first 7 games they played against the Yankees this year though (including the first 2 of this series).
Game isn't over yet. We'll see what happens.
Foxy - thanks for the cool points but I did love her then so much! It was amazing. My seats SUCKED, but just to be in her audience... splendid!
Toni Basil is a wicked cool idea! You two are going to be quite the splash at the party. I would love to see your hair. That is QUITE a commitment, cutting and dying your hair for a costume. You have guts.
PICTURE NOW!
ETA: Srsly? I just heard "OH Mandy" on the call waiting... REALLY?

LOL, ok, when it dries I will take a photo! I literally just washed out the dye. I don't know about having guts, but I have very little impulse control some days.
The party is an annual thing, and if it's anything like last year's photos, we will be two awesome costumes in a sea of Tiffany wanna-bes and break dancers.
The Police Picnic...a farm in Oakville, ON...198something...Joan Jett I believe they booed her. She didn't really belong there with bands like Oingo Boingo and Talking Heads.
Just like when Joe Jackson opened for a The Who "final" concert in Toronto. EVERYWHERE ELSE in North America The Clash opened but NOOOO, not in Toronto. I believe even I threw some stuff at him. Joe Jackson. Pfft. WTF??!!
About three weeks ago I had a dream where everywhere I walked I kept finding money sitting on the ground. Big stacks of money.
Since the night that dream happened I have been finding money on the ground in my real life almost every single day. Not big stacks of money, but single dollar bills and lots of quarters and dimes.
I never found money on the ground before in my life. But since that dream happened it hasn't stopped.
End of random comment about Twilight Zone-like event.
Tater! You are just like that Geiko commercial! are you complaining about finding money? That's sweet!
And FOXY YES YOU MUST! I want to see your cut and color. Dang? What does the shower/tub look like? I remember when my boys used to dye their hair... what a mess!
Ok, I even got out the hairdryer, which I haven't used in at least a year:
I think I maybe hit a little closer to Joey Ramone than Joan Jett, but not too shabby for a self cut and color. I'll probably still do a little more trimming here and there now that it's colored.
OK shut-up! You look amazingly HOT!!! SUCH an awesome cut and color for you!!!! I.am.impressed.
I have no idea what you looked like before, but this is the wow factor. HOWEVER (ahem) Joan's hair was much shorter and spiker... i like your new century twist on the punk.
You are going to rock it! What are you gonna wear? (can you tell I love the 80s?)
ETA: Those posters in the back? NIIIICE touch

Yeah, I was a little afraid to do the full on Joan Mullet:
But I'm hoping that with a little bit of back combing and maybe some mousse or something I can make it spikier and give it more height and get a close simulation.
I've got a pair of skin tight black Levis (I do not think leather pants are a good idea, ever), a black tshirt with a band logo (actually I have a few and haven't decided which one to go with), red Chucks, a couple of big belts, various chains and wrist bands, and once I get to town we're going to go to Wilson's leather, where if I am lucky, they will have one of these:
ETA: clearly, San Diego Satellite is not concerned with my issues. Or, they have an OVERLOAD of people bitching about the same thing. I was disconnected twice before I gave up.

3) My thing to say is that my last teaching day is not this coming Monday, but the one after. And since this past Monday, I have been teaching sex ed to the 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. Yesterday, I explained the function of the scrotum. Oh yeah baby. Up until this year, the boys and girls were separated for sex ed. Now they're in the same classroom and they are FREAKING OUT about it.
We have an "anonymous question box" for the kids to put questions in if they don't want to ask in class.
I'm going to ask the Board's opinion on one of the questions that came in, being that I am a proprietor of boobs, but not of a 'between of a guy's legs': One of the questions was about whether "If a girl gets hit in her boob is it the same pain as when a guy gets kicked in the between his legs"?
Another few grade 7 questions for your edification (with spelling unchanged):
"Why are there haters in my rear end?" (I think he meant "hairs", but I can't be sure)
"If a girl falls over, will it hurt her himan?"
"If my friend doesnt have her period yet is she still going to be okay? PS she is 12. PS it's not me."
"Um hi Mme. M., I no this mite sound like a joke question to waste ur time but I realy need to know if its true that u will die if u get an orgism (and then beside it they had written "from masterbathing" and then scribbled it out)".
So strange to finally see pictures of folks as they get up the nerve to post them (or they add me on FB, or I stalk them online on a boring Friday after they let slip a key piece of information).
I agree - people never look like how I picture them. You look beautiful Foxy, and I love the hair!
I wish I could go to an 80's party. Maybe I'd go as a smurf.
Awesome f-foxy. I admire you for going all out. What fun!
I agree with Squid, no one ever looks like I imagine. I guess it's the like when a movie is made from a book and you have all the characters in your head.
If I knew posting a photo was going to be such an ego booster, I'd have done it a long time ago! Yeah, actually I did post a photo a while ago, but it was the Halloween one with my "eye" dripping off my face.
My hair was a medium reddish-brown, mostly one length. I really don't have any good pictures of it like that. I should have taken a "before" photo. I bought my (first ever!) mascara last night and some black eyeliner, so there will be gobs!
Louise--Those are hilarious! But, is it true about the beets?
