If I Could Change the World
Yes, I'm listening to Clapton from Chronicles. I love that CD!
Thanksgiving was OK. I missed the part where the Jaklynator got mad because she had to take a nap and was yelling "dammich! dammich!". She does that when she's mad and trying to say dammit. lol! The next day I had a WICKED cold. It only lasted one day tho, so that's cool. My mother in law came over Friday and we were going to have a porkroast that I put in the crockpot. Little did I know Mr. H. unplugged the power strip, so we would have ended up eating at 11pm or so, so I left it on low for about 12 hours. It was really good, but I put a ton of garlic in it and you couldn't taste it at all!! The flavor disintegrated or something. My mom sent us home w/some turkey, but not much, which was cool!
Kuroneko sprained his leg, so he's upstairs in a dog cage for a week because the moron won't sit still. He runs and jumps on it and keeps making it worse.
Last night I also sprained my ankle (again, same one as in May). Same way, getting off the computer w/a half numb leg. I have sprained that ankle 5 times now. I think I have to work on it when it heals I think.
We got our outdoor Christmas lights up over the weekend, and I got some up inside as well, and a couple decorations. We can't find anything because all the boxes were moved around when the waterproofers were here. Mr. H. washed and dusted everything in the basement and it's all covered w/concrete dust again. We're having our ducts blown out tomorrow. Yippee... 3 hrs w/the door open!!! Plus they have to move all our furniture. I'm not looking forward to it. I don't want to be here for that!
Something interesting: CHECK IT OUT...

Happy "Oppression of an Indigenous Peoples' Day"...
... as an old friend used to refer to Thanksgiving. I know it's a day early, but I won't have time to post tomorrow.
We FINALLY have the whole puter debacle worked out. After 4-5 service calls (Dell), because my CDRW sounded like a jet engine, and LOADS of communication with morons who had no clue, we received a whole new computer yesterday. No one told us we were to get a new computer, and they were telling us that we ORDERED another one!! It turns out it was a replacement for the current computer because the CDRW and DVD players were sounding so bad. So I'm going ballistic about transferring all my info onto yet ANOTHER hard drive. And Mr. H. is telling me to wind down, because he can just swap out hard drives. *whew*
Well it turned out it sounded horrible just like the others. Then we figured out it was the SOFTWARE the whole time!!! I can't use Realplayer or whatever, but Musicmatch Jukebox sounds great. GRRRRRRRRRRR! When I think of the hours spent on service calls, etc. It does the jet engine thing for about 60 seconds into every song, but I think that's the best I'm going to get... And I'm not willing to deal with it anymore. The old 16x CD ROMS sounded better, but you can't record on them.
I need to rest today so I can deal w/the Jaklynator tomorrow. (Just being in the same room w/her is exhausting!) We're all going to my mom's and Jakl will be frosting the cutout cookies... with her HANDS! I said "Then what? Are we supposed to spray Lysol on them?" hmmm... I'm bringing her a balloon. Every time I see her I bring her a cool helium balloon and she thinks I have a balloon factory! Helium balloons are her favorite things over all toys there are. She said she's going to ask Santa for a balloon when she goes to see him. (Mind you she has every toy ever made!) She tosses them aside and plays w/her balloons all the time! It's kind of like throwing aside a diamond bracelet and keeping the box... heheheheh...
On Sat. we're going to my dad's up north. (Not as north as Sawyer County! My grandpa used to live up there in the town of Winter tho.) That should be fun.
Sunday we're going to do our outdoor decorations. Oh boy. I hope we get a full strand of lights that works and we don't have to mess w/them. Most of our decorations for indoors are still covered with concrete dust so I don't think we'll be putting up too many of those. Our fiberoptic tree bulb is out and we have no clue where to get another one. Also, ornaments and trees are cat magnets!
Speaking of cats... Our bad boy, Kuroneko is limping around on 3 paws with one in the air. This happened once before. It's always because he jumped off something too high, or tried to jump onto something and missed and landed badly. So I've been calling him Hopalong Catsidy! :P I know... BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! He still can run and jump on 3 paws and still gets in loads of trouble. He ran outside this morning when Mr. H. was leaving for work and started running circles around the house w/hubby chasing him and of course the neighbors watching. *snicker*
You may have noticed this is a novel. It wasn't going to be, it just happened. You may also have noticed that I put a lot of bold in here. That's I guess because of the length of this, perhaps if you don't want to read it all, you may find a word that grabs you and read that part. lol! No one ever reads long entries... Not mine anyway. I read other peoples though!

Dead Man's Party...
I'm sure many of you have heard about THIS. Apparently this guy was from MN and didn't even speak English. Whether or not he was a citizen is unknown right now. Just sick. He had an assault rifle. Yeah, that's real sporting of him.
And I'm sure everyone's heard about this NBA BRAWL. How sporting. I hope these players are sued until they have nothing by the fans they hit.
Ahhh... blah blah blah... I think I'm going to take off... here's a kitty quiz!

The Moronathon... Blowing Off Steam... & Hitmen...
*GRRRRRRRRRR* STUPIDITY!!! Good God, y'all!!! According to Mr. H.'s bosses, he's working TOO much. THEY SEND HIM ON THE JOBS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!! They are so disconnected from the actual work, that they don't understand a damned thing! I could go on and on... Then they said they plan to keep running the company for 15 more years!!! OMG! It won't LAST that long! Mr. H, G, and D would be able to run it much better and make a better profit than the owners, easily, plus build clients. G & D, or just D is/are planning on buying the company after the owners retire, should it still be there, because their business decisions are soooo bad that they're chasing away customers. I was joking that D should hire a hitman to take them out. Mr. H. said he works w/a camera man from another company occasionally and his cousins are the "B's". (I CAN NOT write that name in here.) One of his cousins was blown up one day because he wouldn't cooperate w/the rest of the "family"... And I mean "FAMILY", as in Sicilian Mob. Their name is VERY familiar and seriously, I can't put it down here. I told Mr. H. he should get D to get this camera man to hire his cousins to hit their bosses so D could run the company. (BTW, I believe that's quite viable, if you knew who they were...) Mind you I'm joking, but why can't they just retire instead of complaining and yelling at the employees for doing their job, which the bosses don't even understand?? (Yeah... A little while ago I was yelling "Take 'em out! Take 'em out!"). Must be because I'm Italian. RANTIER THAN THE "RANTING SWEDE" I'D SAY!
You're Alberta. You're always up for a good time

Look Out Any Window... Any Morning... Any Evening Any Day...
...A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through...
This weekend... lol! The pumpkin smashers showed up. They tried to smash one of our pumpkins, but it was too hard so I found it in the street and spray painted it red w/Krylon and wrote "Hahahahaha!" and made a face on it and put it back. :D I sprayed another black, and the orange one I used black marker and wrote "Go ahead, make my day!" on it, with a face. We'll see what happens... I wanted to do my Cartman pumpkin again. 2 yrs in a row I painted Cartman pumpkins and took pics. They were perfect! Today I couldn't do that because I can't find shit in the basement. I started putting all my decorating stuff in order. The concrete dust was supposed to be gone... Of course not. I ended up choking w/an asthma attack and still can't find most my stuff. And what I have is quite ruined. All my stock... damn it!!! We're not talking a small investment here! GRRR!
Tomorrow the Dell dude shows up w/ my new RW CDR. I'm going to have window dude estimates probably this week... (yeah, tearing out a wall too... good bye custom blinds...), the basement dudes are showing up to put a vent in a cold air intake. And then dentist, and Dr. BLEAHHHH!!! I'm sooo in Grateful Dead mood, if any of you are Deadheads, you'd know by the title... OK this first quiz result is creepy!
You are Jack the Ripper. Yours were some of the
most brutal murders recorded in history--yet
your case is still to this day unsolved. You
came from out of the fog, killed violently and
quickly and disappeared without a trace. Then
for no apparent reason, you satisfy your blood
lust with ever-increasing ferocity, culminating
in the near destruction of your final victim,
and then you vanish from the scene forever. The
perfect ingredients for the perennial thriller.
You are quite the mysteriously demented?

Your element is Fire: Strong, hot tempered,
powerful, and passionate. Well now lets see,
being fire you are quite strong and powerful,
people look up to you greatly and often seek
your protection. You have the ability to gain
many friends and you are always one people can
count on to do what you say you will do. You
are extremely loyal be it friends or family
you'll stick up for them and you are never
willing to put them in a position that could
hurt them. You know what roll you play in life,
leader, and you intend to let people know it.
Not everyone is capable of leadership but you
certainly have the willpower and flare to do
it. You have quite a temper if it shows itself,
one that can often lead you into trouble. Once
your mind is made up there is no changing it
but no one said that was a bad thing.

I'll Stick Around...
LISTENING TO: Bleached Black "Circuitry Spiders"
DOING: Putting off calling the bank, window companies, doing errands, etc.
Well, as you might have noticed, my blog is sucky right now. My pics and subtitles and rainbow effects were linked to Jaz's web page, which must not be there, as her pics are gone as well. Her e-mail addys are gone too. If anyone gets in touch w/her, please have her get a hold of me thru nationstates or the forum or something. I want the links so I can eventually put them on my own web page,(that someone else will have to make for me, 'cause I don't know how *ahem* "Scorp"?). *Sigh... I'm seriously bumming over this. It looks awful. Jaz did such an amazing job with it too.
Dell is supposed to call today to make an appt to come out here and install a new RW CDR drive as all you can hear is the mechanics of the damned thing. Apparently that happens during shipping sometimes, so they're bringing a new one and installing it. Mr. H. paid for this extra warranty where they come out and replace anything free, no paying for parts or anything... Good deal!
Weird, it's Friday, like my FAVORITE DAY, and I'm in a mediocre mood. Dunno what's up w/that. I can sometimes fix it with music tho. I'm like that. I think I may go rent a movie or a bunch today. I won't have much time to watch anything tho, except on Sun. My mom is coming over in several hours. She lives an hour from me and is retired and since I don't work, comes down a lot and we just hang out or go shopping or if I'm not feeling well, she helps me w/things around the house. (Sad when your mother's in better shape than you!) I think I might be getting better tho. I'm going to get some of that nauseating MetRx Protein Powder to get some calories and protein. It makes me nauseous, but I have a script for anti-nausea pills (Tigan), so I'll take that first. Pretty bad when you know what you're going to ingest is going to make you nauseous so you take a script to prevent it first! I'm hoping to gain 5 lbs in the next 4 weeks. Wish me luck!!!
The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
believed to reside in groups apart from normal
humans, and many legends tell of their secret
citites hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
or underwater. In many tales, the naga is often
of royal lineage, or sometimes even divinity.
Nagas are often associated with water, and it
is said that they can control the weather.
As a naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
things in life and like to be pampered, and
you're not too keen on mixing and mingling with
the unwashed masses.

I'll Never Be An Accountant... (But I'll Make a Great "Potty Mouthed Mean Old Lady"...)
UGH! I just re-did our finances which were a debacle due to a certain husband of mine. (I hope he doesn't read this. He insists it isn't his fault.) Thus instead of having the extra cash I thought we had, we... don't. Oh, and I have a hair appointment today, so make it less-than-what-we-don't. This is infuriating to me! I'm glad the thought that this extra money shouldn't be was nagging at me before I went to bed because I checked this morning, and sure enough, where I thought there was a deposit, was actually a transfer. So I guess it's really sort of kind of partly my fault for not catching the error as household *cough cough choke* accountant. I'm waiting for the bank to open to have them adjust our accounts. So, I would make a crappy accountant for not even noticing the error until now. I'm surprised I even noticed it. I'll never be an accountant. Woohooo!!! I hate accounting and it was my worst grade in college! (I only went twice besides exams...heheheheh!)
However, I'll make a great mean old lady!!! This past weekend Saturday night at about 11 or 12 pm, I decided to just watch TV and crash on the couch and my mom was over so she was sleeping in the guest room, when I heard a bunch of guys, about 17ish I would guess, maybe older, walking down the street swearing at the top of their lungs. It sounded like they were coming toward my front door, so I got pissed off (having had one of my flower pots knocked over in the past), and opened the front door and walked outside, (we were about one of 3 people w/lights on and we have a really dark neighborhood), and I'm of course wearing only a shortie little kimono...lol!, and I saw about two houses down in the middle of the road, maybe 10-15 guys and I screamed at the top of my lungs "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!" They started running down the street by then. (I must have scared them!) Two of my neighbors came out at the same time and we heard these thuds and I thought it was some sort of gun, but it was just loser delinquent pumpkin smashers. (No Smashing Pumpkins jokes... already had one yesterday!!! *virtually smacks Pony in the head*) The pumpkins belonged to my neighbors across the street. Mine were in tact. I was so mad thinking initially that they were possibly coming after our pumpkins, and that if I saw them in our yard, I was going to go get our replica of the Narsil sword and start whacking! (The brats, not the pumpkins!) It's not sharp, but would cause some damage, and if hit w/the end, could cause some real damage. Then I'd be charged w/assault and battery. I thought perhaps I'd get those double sided nails and cover my pumpkins w/those and decorate them like "Pinhead" so any idiot trying to grab one would have pierced hands... hehehehee! Attractive nuisance liability my ass! If you're THAT old, you should know not to trespass. Anyhoo... Since the neighbors were out when I was yelling my obscenities, I'm sure I'm known as the neighborhood potty mouth now. But it worked! Those brats ran like hell!!! Having been both, I can say it's far more fun being cranky homeowner than teenage pumpkin smasher. (Sounds like a bad movie: "I was a Teenage Pumpkin Smasher" :P )
OK, so I just get a phone call from Mr. H. after we had our phone discussion about the financial issue. He got a bit cranky and said something mildly cocky to his boss. He and his boss were dropping an item off somewhere and his boss went down a one way street the wrong way or something and there was a loading dock on the other side, and Mr. H. said something like "Well, you could have pulled into the loading dock." (That's cocky around his boss.) His boss said "Fuck you" and threw a TV at him! And Mr. H. won't see him until tomorrow because he's out on a job. YIKES! Mr. H.'s boss can have a short temper, but has a short memory concerning it as well and will probably be cool about it tomorrow, I HOPE!
I don't think my cats agree with the results of this quiz. They kind of ignore me 'cause I ignore them a lot as I'm allergic to them. They only suck up when it's meal time...

Gone To Earth...
Well, it's safe to say I'm still unhappy about the election results AND that the Republicans have congress. So the rich corporate slobs will get richer and the rest of us will suffer. *sigh... When Bush fucks up, at least I can say "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE MORON!!!...THREE TIMES IN THE CASE OF SOME MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS!!!" (I think they avoided that this year; at least I hope so.) There were 3000 extra votes in Mke in the last presidential election... or was that just Marquette students? Well they do have a good law school. I guess they're just practicing being unethical as soon as they can. ;P

If 72 Years of Election History Continue to 73...
Kerry will be our new president! For those not in the know, for 72 years straight, if the Washington Redskins WIN the game they play just before the election, the incumbent wins. If they LOSE (like they did to the PACKERS!), we get a new president! Please don't let history change now! After the Red Sox won the WS, I'm a bit concerned. They both have Red in the name, and skin goes in socks, right? OK, it's early and maybe that makes no sense, but if one tradition/curse can be broken, so can another, and I hope to God this one sticks! As you may have guessed, I voted for Kerry yesterday. I am still laughing at Byrdy's comment on my last post. Check it out... HYSTERICAL! I went and voted early because the insulation bizzos were supposed to be here RIGHT NOW, but I just got a call that one of his employees called in sick so they can't come until tomorrow. >-/ Well, doesn't matter to me. Mr. H. is in Charlotte for a week and I talked to him last night just before he was going to go hit the bar to watch Monday Night Football w/the guy he's working with, since they're at a Marriott and not the Bates Motel, this time. But he said it's NOT like the Chicago Marriotts. I'm like, "No kidding...?"
I did a dullard thing yesterday... I went to get gas and decided to get a car wash... while it was raining. Yep, that meteor ate my brain, fo' sho'! It's a crummy rainy day again today. And I got up early for these guys who didn't show up.
And of course I mentioned we ran out of candy twice Sat. night, which was trick or treat here. Mr. H. ran out and got more candy. I told him to skip it and we'd give the rest of the kids Valium... heheheheheh! I bet the parents would have appreciated it!
Here's a quiz... I don't remember what it was about or if it was good, just that it had a pic... I drafted that part yesterday, and I don't remember much from day to day. So let me end this post by saying... LET THE BEST KERRY WIN!
Fire. Impulsive. Unlike Air, you do jump before you
