A long day – gets better

So what suck about my job – aside from management- is that if you take a day off you have to work 12 hour days for 2 days to make it up. I took off 2 days so I have to work 6am – 6pm for the rest of the week to catch up.
I got in to work today at 5:40 am and left at 5:55 pm and went to the gym I was tired and in a pissy mood, but if I went home – I would have sat and ate…so pilates it was.
I got home at 7:45 is – maybe even 8pm ish. I opened my garage and finished cleaning it up. I watered my lawn - I did – the hose worked, which if it worked a few weeks ago – I wouldn’t have had the whole problem….but
I pulled into my garage today. And tomorrow, when I go to work, I get to pull out of the garage and not have dew on my car that takes forever and ever to clean off and not fog up my windows….that makes me happy.
…………………………..
So my office is a little cold….and a lot of people have fish….this is what happens when you are overworked, tired and cold…it’s between, S me and J. S started it.
S: Ok, it is so cold in here I think we need fish cozies.
J: Aww. Rachel’s mother knits.
Me: I dare you to call my mom and ask her to make fish cozies.
J: I bet if I did, she’d do it.
Me: I bet if you did – she would tell me I can’t be friends with you.
J: No she wouldn’t. I’m as crazy as the rest of you.
Me: No – because no one in my family would want a fish cozy. A tea cozy maybe but not a fish cozy. Unless the fish was in the disposal
J: Ok. We’ll call them tea cozies then. And I’m ignoring that last sentence.
Me: I sorta thought you meant a cozy for the fish – not the bowl.
J: If it was for the fish, it would be called a sweater.
Me: A little fish sweater. It couldn’t be made of wool – it would get icky in water
J: And cotton gets all stretchy and smelly when it’s wet
Me: So probably a fish sweater – not a good idea
J: Maybe an insulated rubber wet suit
Me: I am not putting a wet suit on a fish
You said rubber
S: I think M’s idea of a warming lamp is probably more practical.
(now, there is a really funny picture of a fish that S drew- but I can’t get it on here - trust me- it’s bizarre)
There was another email that S & I were doing – and S & J were doing that was just as bizarre…..we make our own fun so we don’t go postal at our job…except since we don’t work for the post office – it’s not postal as much as - well, for those of you who know where I work…..you know what it is.
A joke

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with Broccoli, Cauliflower and Spinach, green and ye llow and red Vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would l ive Long a nd Healthy Lives.

Then using God’s great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, “You want chocolate with that?” And Man said, “Yes!” and Woman said, “and as long as you’re at it, add some sprinkles.” And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful Yogurt that Woman might keep the Figure that Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, “Try my fresh green salad.”

And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, “I have sent you heart healthy vegetables, and olive oil in which to cook them.”

And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

So I went to get a massage on Saturday.
My sister and the princess slept over Thursday night. I had taken Friday and Monday off. I took the princess to my parents Friday. So we crashed around 9:30 or so (guess who was the or so) I planned on leaving around 5 to miss traffic. I woke up at 3:30 AM and was out of the house by 4:30. The princess was in the car. She slept, then she woke up, then she slept. She was awake when I crossed the Verrazano bridge and there were 2 boats/ships A mommy boat and a baby boat. Then I told her about boats so big you can land planes on them. That’s amazing said the 2 1/2 year old. Then she fell asleep until we got to the exit for my parents house. It was about 6:30 am or so. I fell back asleep and by 10 we went to Home Depot and Sears. We were gonna go to the food store, but someone was tired and needed a nap. I took one, guess who didn’t. So we went food shopping and went home. She said I tired and fell asleep for a few hours. Kids are funny.
Saturday woke up and went to her room. She was sitting in the corner of her bed and said I peed. So I changed her and then she went to her grandparents and proudly said – i peed on the bed.
R came over and we went to the LIRR and for massages. A 90 minute hot stone massage. It was heaven. We got food after and got home around 10pm.
Sunday – poured – left my parents around 1 – pulled over because it was raining so hard I couldn ‘t see. 5 hours later I got to my house. And collapsed.
I am off work today. They are coming to paint the garage (done, should be able to put it back together in an hour) and the electrician is supposed to come to put the remote in my ceiling fan.
Now, if someone wants to come help me hang some pictures – all would be swell.
Did I tell you I was getting a new kitchen counter It’s formica now. Nice and still in good condtion, but I wanted Corrian so I am getting new counter and sink. It’s really nice. The color of the counter is Clamshell, which is a bisque based color (since my appliances are bisque) and a white sink - I am so excited. hopefully- w/in the next 2 weeks.
It’s her birthday

I’m not sure what this movie is about, or what it’s called but I’m guessing it starts
If you can tell me what it’s about- or the title (which honestly, could be 1-18-08) I would appreciate it.
But this one - this looks funny and has a great cast.
You said it
