Just a quick question.....

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow!

So long, cruel world!

I am departing from JAQQ. Shed a tear for me. BUT... I am moving to a new location... a JAQQ2 of sorts. It's all explained in the first post of JAQQ2.

Pretty, Pretty Princess

2007-01-06T22:18:00.000-05:00

So, I've realized I have finally gotten to the point in life where I seem to have time on my hands! How great is that! So I'm going to try to start the whole blogger thing again. Hopefully it'll stick!

So, I've decided to spoil myself and go to Barnes and Noble once a week. I get my amazing Starbuck's coffee (most, if not all, Barnes' have a Starbucks in them), grab a book, and sit in a comfy chair and read for 4 or 5 hours. It's great! I've been going normally Wednesdays, as soon as the school day is over. I'll read, then write down what page I've left off at, then go back the following week to finish it. It is SOOOO relaxing!

I heard once that going to Barnes is a great place to pick up guys. Hmmmm... It quite possible may be true. The one night, I sat and was reading my book. There was a very attractive guy sitting in the chair across from me. At one point, he started talking to me. Every half hour or so, we'd talk about our books. Well, some random guy came up to him, and was like, "Dude, do I know you from somewhere?" and hottie replied, "you do look familiar. Not sure where though." THey talked a bit about where they grew up, etc. Then hottie said, in an attempt to get rid of him, said, "I'm sure it'll come to you later," and wierd guy left. Hottie and I talked about how odd that was. We wnet back to reading. Half an hour or so later, wierd guy comes back. He's adimant that he knows him somehow. They talk. Hottie says he's a personal trainer, and weird guy wants to loose weight. So hottie gives the guy his phone number, and guy left. Then hottie started in on how he shouldn't have given guy his number. What if the guy turns into a needy stalker? At this point, I think to myself, well, guess I won't ask for his number. He'll think I'm a needy stalker girl. Who picks up guys at book stores, anyway, right? Ah, well. The dream was fun while it lasted!

Then another time, I went back. I sat near this cute African American guy. He was dressed like he was from the 'hood or something. But the book he was reading was the most shoking thing in the world. He was reading a book from the Princess Diaries series! How strange! So I avoided talking to him... He's probably gay and in denial!

So the question is, where is the best place to pick up a guy or girl? Where is (or was) your "playing field?"

And, is that guy gay? Or is he just in touch with his feminine side? ... The world may never know!

Death of a Salesman

2006-12-02T23:45:00.000-05:00

So, I've heard that's a good play and all- D. of a SM. Never read it though. (It is a play, right?)

Regardless, I thought it a good title for my newest, last post.

Give myself a grand finale of sorts.

But this isn't going to be grand, just a finale. I didn't want people to stumble across this blog and say- I wonder where this chick went to. Or my old fans to wonder if I died all of a sudden. Though, those people also know that Becky L is my sister, and she still writes about me occassionally.

I just got too busy with life in general. No, I didn't get swept off my feet by Prince Charming... not even by Prince Not-Quite-So-Charming-But-Will-Do. (Didn't you know the the S in Abigail S means Single?)

Nothing at all exciting. I'm working 2 jobs, teaching Kindergarten and working at a women's clothing store. Crazy Busy!

One awesome thing- for my old peeps, if they ever wander back. I finally moved out of my parents'! Now I live w/ anotehr teacher from my school, only 5 minutes away from the school! No more hour drives every day! ... Though my second job is an hour away... but that's only 3x a week, not everyday.

You may be thinking "Why don't you just delete this blog?" Well, here's why. I hold the smallest glimmer of hope that one day I may get to the point where I can pick it back up. "Cuz (as cocky as it may sound) I think this is a great blog! A very unique idea. So, that's that!

Well, goodbye my friends. Til we meet again! Kiss, kiss, hug, hug.

Cars

2006-07-24T19:07:00.000-04:00

This post is in honor of the new Disney movie: Cars!

So, I like my car. It's been faithful to me. Listen to these great stories about how my car got my back.

After I graduated college May '05, I drove by myself from Georgia to Pennsylvania. That's about a 13 hour drive. Not a single problem during the trip. It was a smooth ride! I get home, park my car, and unpack my stuff. The very next morning, not 12 hours later, I went to go to the store, and I had a flat tire! Isn't that awesome! I was so thankful that it was after my trip, and not somewhere in Virginia.

Then more recently, Becky and I drove down to Georgia for a wedding. This was oh, 2 months ago. Trip was fine. The day after we got back, my car died. So sad, yet at least it wasn't in Virginia!

So, now let's practice some math. Before this recent trip to GA, a little light saying "O/D OFF" came on. Having never seen it before, I took it in to the garage. Sometimes, that comes on when a car needs a transmission fluid change. I spent $85 on that. The next day, the light came on again. I took the car back to the same place. They did some "tests" and said that "blaa" needed to be fixed- $275(I forget what was wrong). A week or so after the $275 bill, I left for Georgia with my sis, as mentioned above. Well, while in GA, I realized I was overdue for an oil change, so I got that done- $40ish. While there, the rednecks (no offense) pocked a hole in the pan that holds the precious transmission fluid that I had just replaced. All the trip home, I leaked fluid. And like I said, the day after I got back from GA, my car broked. I had to replace the fluid again (3/4 had leaked out) and replace the pan. Total of around $460. Well, 3 weeks later, I had to get state inspection done, plus yet another oil change. This was $95. Then (oh yes, there is another 'then!') I noticed my car had this yucky smell if I drove it more than 10 minutes. And it started jerking and shaking. So I took it into the car hospital yet again. They had to replace something inside the transmission itself. That bill was $2,100! Eek! I got my car back. They said my car should be good for several years now. THEN! 4 days later, my "service engine soon" light came on. What now! Well, I took it in yet again, ready for a fight. Here they did something wrong or something. They acceptable resposibility for it, and fixed it for free. Darn tootin'!

Calculator, please. Hmmm, add this, then that, that, and... grand total of around $3,055!

Good times!

Any similar car stories?

The New Beer

2006-07-09T22:58:00.000-04:00

I get a kick out of all these alcoholic beverage commercials out now. They all have a tiny note on the bottom of the screen that says stuff like "drink responsibly" or "only in moderation." Some even venture to say the given words out loud, though quickly and very quietly!

The best one the I've seen is for... Oh crap! I forget one kind of drink it was for... ah well. I can still describe the commercial. It was at a fancy-shmancy party, and there was a guy pigging out on the shrimp coctail. It was actually kinda gross looking... Any the spokesperson comes out and says "The same thing about shrimp coctail is true of all coctails... Always in moderation." Hillarious! I laugh every time!

Well, just now I was watching a movie on TV... And I saw a commercial that made me giggle and gave me a great idea for a post. It was for Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate (beautiful stuff!). And I noticed on the bottom of the screen was written the words: "enjoy in moderation." I about lost it! I thought- "What?! Is chocolate the new beer?!"

So, here's the question- Some people love dark chocolate, others HATE it. Which are you? When you get a bag of assorted mini Hershey candy bars, which do you gobble up first? The Krackle, Mr. Goodbar, Milk Choc, Special Dark Choc? Do you mix it up, eating a few of each? Of eat all the Mr. Goodbar, and then move on to the Krackle. Or do you detest all things chocolate?

Well, whatever your answer, remember:

ENJOY IN MODERATION!

Life happened!

2006-06-26T01:38:00.000-04:00

As you can tell, I took a little hiatus from the world of blogdom. Why? Life happened. That's my newest phrase.

I'm a teacher, so I was busy with end of the school year stuff. There was a trip to Georgia over Memorial Day weekend, the Kidergarten graduation to plan and prepare for, trying to get a summer job, my car died on me (took $450 to fix), a trip to Iowa, starting my summer job, etc. etc. etc.

By the by, I LOVE my summer job! I'm working at a nearby Dress Barn, a clothing store for women. It is great, and I'm good at it, too! My job is to actively help the customers. You know how at some stores, the workers say "hi," and that's it? Well, at DB, I help women find the perfect outfit, or hopefully outfits! When they are done shopping, I am supposed to ring up them up personally. The computer keeps count of how much money each worker sells. The more I sell, the more hours I get.

Well, I am awesome at doing all that! I'll be helping five customers at once. I bring in the money! Each day, we have a $ goal, usually between 400 and 500. I always reach above my goal. On Saturday, I was the top sales person at over $1200! I rock!

Well, there's no question for today, just this update. I'll try to post regularly now. And visit yall's blogs, too!

These are a few of my favorite things...

2006-06-05T19:08:00.000-04:00

girls in white dresses with red satin sashes

snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes

brown paper packages tied up with string

THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!!!

okay, so i probably completely messed up the lyrics. So sorry. however, the concept remains... What are some of your favorite things?

Especially in regards to summertime! Okay, so many bloggers live in various parts of the country/world. So your climates are vastly different from Pennsylvania. Oh well. The question still will remain: what are some of your favorite summer things???

I like picnics in parks :-) Though i've rarely done this in the past few years. I do hope to this summer though. Its just so much fun. Take a blanket, sit on the grass, enjoy the warm weather and nice breeze.

What's your favorite things?

Deal or No Deal?

2006-06-01T10:13:00.000-04:00

So, whats the deal with the whole bird flu thing??? is it something we should really be thinking about and preparing for?

I thought: "no-- people just like to worry about silly little things."

but then of course, oprah had a segment about it. She was talking with some Infectious Disease Specialist guy. And he said that this strand of flu is extrememly similar to the 1918 flu pandemic.

So, of course, if oprah says it, it must be true. So, as soon as my precious little daughter wakes up from her nap, we're off to the grocery store to buy lots of bottled water and canned foods.

Question for you:
-Are you worried about the bird flu?
-Is it something that we need to all prepare for?

story time at JAQQ

2006-05-17T09:59:00.000-04:00

its story time!

i'm the kind of person who LOVES telling stories. No, i dont mean fictional kinds: i'm not gonna type up some cutesy story of a pennyless girl who ended up marrying a prince.

i'm talking about real stories that happen to me. When in college, i worked in the library [no, i'm not a nerd]. And each time i went in, i'd share my latest stories. Well, the one guy said: "your stories are always lame." i took offense to that.

one day i came in with a GREAT story though. That morning i had been to the local gas station to buy some coffee. Yum! I love french vanilla coffee with french vanilla creamer. so good... Well, as i went to get my coffee, i noticed that it was all empty. SAD DAY! the little old lady behind the counter said: "oh here-- i just made a new pot of it." So, she thought she'd be nice and pour it for me.

Unfortunately, her aged hands werent quite so steady-- She poured scalding hot coffee all over my hand!!!

the first thought that crossed my mind was: "She's somebody's grandmother." So, i didnt scream, i didnt cuss, i didnt throw a fit. I just breathed in, breathed out, and said "its okay. no problem."

Then i proceeded to drive to college, though one-handed since my burned hand was in so much pain. I walked into the library and shared my story-- which this guy claimed was equally lame.

Question for my readers:
1) Is my story really that lame?
2) Share your own story with us!

The Ups and Downs of Finales

2006-05-14T00:02:00.000-04:00

Tis the season... when season finales are coming around on tv. Some of them are terrible- they leave you with a huge cliff-hanger of an ending, like "Oh crap! My favorite character might be dead!"

Then there's the great season finales- they leave off on a happy side, having your wildest fantasies come true.

And you have some that do both. So I'd call them "So-Sos" or some such word.

But despite which kind of season finale it is, they all have one common suckiness in common- You have to wait until September to find out what happens next! Talk about torture. Plus having to deal with reruns all summer long!

So, I absolutely LOVE the tv show "The Office" on NBC. It is so freakin' funny! But the main reason I love it is because of the underlying love triangle of Roy, Pam, and Jim. Pam has dated Roy since high school, and they are now engaged. Pam and Jim are best friends at "the office." Jim secretly loves Pam, and Pam secretly loves Jim, but she feels stuck. (None of this is ever said outloud- Just in certain looks, etc.) Well, on Thursday's season finale... Jim tells Pam that he loves her... She says she just sees him as a friend. He sheds a tear and leaves. (Boy broke my heart!) Well, she goes and calls Mommy dearest and sounds all confused. Jim walks in, Pam hangs up the phone, and without saying anything, Jim goes right up to her and kisses her. She, in turn, kisses him back. I started cheering! It's about time! And then it ended. So, it was a happy ending. But it sucks having to wait until September to see what happens next- does she dump Roy, regret kissing Jim, run away scared? Who knows! But for now- I'm sticking with the "excited" bit.

Then, you have your series finales. Those suck, cuz you hate to see a good show go. But at the same time... Now you have some closure. It'll be sad to see Alias, West Wing, and Will & Grace go.

There are some good summer series on. TNT has an awesome one called "The Closer" and USA has a show called "The 4400," which is AMAZING!!! If you've never seen "The 4400," get it on DVD. I promise you that you'll love it! The 1st season only had 5 episodes. The 2nd seson had 12. The third season is starting June 11th. I'm so excited! It's about 4400 people who were abducted over the period of 50 (or so) years. Then, all at one time, they all reappear. The government is trying to figure out what happened and what to do with these people, especially when it becomes apparent that many of them have "special powers." Season 2 left with a HUGE cliff-hanger. So I'm glad it starts up again soon.

Well, share your thoughts on season finales. Any good ones, bad ones, so-so ones? Let's hear it!

UPDATE:
Check out this website for an awesome video of Pam and Jim. If you've never seen the show, you can still check it out. See what great stuff you're missing!

Well Hello There Mr. Officer... Part 2

2006-05-11T20:30:00.000-04:00

So last week, my dad got pulled over by a cop. He was going 70 in a 35 zone (or something close to that... I forget the particulars). I guess the cop was feeling particularly forgiving that day, because he let Pops off with just a warning. Talk about LUCKY! I mean, seriously! You can get your licence taken away for going 20 over the speed limit.

Now comes the question.

Are you a smooth talker? Can you get yourself out of a speeding ticket? Or, if you're like me and have never been pulled over, what do you think you'd do?

Be silly or serious with your responses. I love them all!

Well Hello There, Mr. Officer... Part 1

2006-05-07T14:47:00.000-04:00

So, a cop car almost hit me yesterday. So that got me thinking... Hmmm, maybe there could be a question in here about that.

So I came up with this:

You know how women are always saying that they have a thing for a man in uniform. Well, ladies, do you? And which kind of uniforms? Police, military, etc?

And guys- you aren't getting off the hook. I then started wondering... Do guys have a thing for women in uniform? Or is a turn off?

And then, what is it about the uniform that makes the person appealing? Just the looks? Or the meaning behind the uniform?

what would you do??? [get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses...]

2006-05-02T10:32:00.000-04:00

Okay, so awhile back i saw a little segment on TV news testing the whole "good samaritan" principle. Trying to see if people would help a victim. This time, a child.

On a really busy street in NY, a man was kidnapping a 12 year old girl. He'd walk up to her and say: "where have you been? i've been looking everywhere for you!" [pretending to be her dad, mad that she ran away.] He grabbed her arm and started dragging her away. She was screaming out: "leave me alone! leave me alone! you're not my dad!"

And, did people stop? Did anyone even call 911???
What would you have done?

They went thru this time after time. For over 2 hours. And NO ONE intervened. I couldnt believe it. Finally, two guys did come to the rescue; it was kinda comical-- b/c they were gonna beat the crap out of the guy; he quickly let go of the girl, but his hands in the air, and shouted out to them: "TV! this is for tv. The cop is right over there!" [b/c the whole thing was being very supervised.]

It made me so sad, and so MAD! this is a child's life at stake. A defenseless child. And no one helped.

What would you have done?

Will thinking about this now change what you may do in a future situation?

Standardized Crap

2006-04-27T17:38:00.000-04:00

Well, all this week, I've been torturing my students. Mwa-ha-ha!

OK, so it's against my will. I have to torture them. Sad, but true. How, do you ask, am I torturing them? The answer is simple:

SAT's!

Every grade in my class has to take them. Yip, my poor Kindergarten kids have to suffer through the SAT's. Every day this week, we do about one hour of testing in the morning. I try to break it up, with a snack/stretch break inbetween parts.

I feel bad for these poor kids. Heck, I feel bad for me! It's so boring... Yet at the same time, I don't have to prepare any lessons! After the tests, we mainly just play the rest of the day. Poor kids!

The test is so mean. It really tries to trick these kids. It makes me so mad! They're only six! Stop trying to mess them up! Grrr! Poor, poor kids.

So, what do you think I should do to make it up to them? ... A party? ... Movie? ... Cheat sheet? (totally JUST kidding!)

its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring...

2006-04-24T17:39:00.000-04:00

So, you wake up from an awful night's sleep. You stretch and yawn, trying to think positively about the day. But, before you even get a chance to start the mantra of: "i think i can, i think i can, i think i can," you notice a foreboding sound outside.

its raining! its pouring! winds are gusting and leaves are falling everywhere. How are you most apt to respond:

A) AWESOME! i love playing in the rain; it makes me want to be a kid again
B) Go for your morning jog anyway; you'll be soaking wet, but at least you got your adrenaline going
C) Say: "stink it!" and climb back in bed
D) Make a cup of coffee [tea, or coccoa if you prefer], sit next to the window, and watch the rain pour down; you imagine it washing away your stress

It's Been A While...

2006-04-22T13:30:00.000-04:00

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. I've been super-crazy-busy.... With some super-crazy-lazy mixed in.

At this current time, I cannot think of any questions. So maybe I'll just talk and a question will pop in my head.

I'm probably happier now than I've been in a long time. For so long, I haven't really had any contact with people my age. Everyone is either older than me and married, or younger than me and in college. Now, there's nothing wrong with being married or in college. It's just that I have very little in common with those people. It's that way at my church. There's a young adults group that gets together every once in a while. But they're all younger than me. As a person out of college who's working for a living, I feel like I don't fit in. It's just kind of depressing. I've been staying at work until 6ish every day, and I've been going in on weekends. I guess keeping busy kind of took my mind off being lonely.

Well, a few weeks ago, I met someone who introduced me to someone my age. She's been going to a young adults' gathering at a church in the area. So I started going with her. But it's only the first and third Saturday of each month.

It is so much fun! There's maybe 40/50 people there who are all like me! Looking for a place to belong. Well, at that Saturday night place, someone told us about a Friday night one at another church, which meets every week. So she and I went there last night! It was so much fun! I'm a very shy person, but I was really able to connect with people. I guess they're just as eager as me to find people to connect with.

So, no question. I just wanted to vent my excitement!

King of the Burgers

2006-04-13T16:04:00.000-04:00

I decided to get Burger King for lunch. I LOVE their chicken sandwiches. Yum!

You know how different fast food places decorate their cups, bags, etc. in various themes? Like right now, McDonald's is "I'm Lovin' It." (Which, quite frankly, is getting a little old AND more than a little annoying!).

Anyway, back to BK. They have different funny saying on their bags, wrappers, etc, that have to do with the given product. Well, there was one that made me laugh... and reminisce. It was on the take-out bag, and said as follows:

"OFFICIAL BAGGLER PROCEDURE"
Frech fries that have attempted to escape from their containers only to strand themselves in the bottom of the bag are called "bagglers." Bagglers are fair game. The first to open the bag and retrieve the baggler gets to eat the baggler. Therefore, it is in one's best interest to be the keeper of the bag.

Well, what made me appreciate this so much is the fact that growing up, my siblings and I used to fight over these "bagglers." Even to this day, those stranded fries seem to taste better that the others. I feel special, like I was given a bonus treat. And I get mad (seriously!) when there are no fries at the bottom of the bag.

I'm a loser.

So question: Growing up, what kind of fights did you get in to with siblings over food? Which slice of pizza is bigger? Which carton of fries is the fullest? Which salad has more croutons?

Blogger, You Suck!

2006-04-13T08:44:00.000-04:00

What's going on! Arg!

I just spent 20 minutes composing a good post. I hit the "Publish Post" button. And somehow, it got deleted!

So now I need to retype it. Well, I'm not gonna make it fancy with links or pics. Sorry about that.

So the post was supposed to be titled: Yes, No, Maybe So.

Som the other day, Becky and I were watching the Today Show. They were interviewing some doctors. Because of medical advancements, people have been living longer. We now have several people living past the age of 100. Well, apparently, people will soon be living to 150+.

No thank you! There's no way I'd want to live that long! To me, 80 sounds like a good age to end on. Enough time to live life, but not enough to fall into major bouts of dymentia, loneliness, depression, weakness. There's no way I'd want to spend 60 years in a nursing home, never getting any visitors, dying slowly. No way!

How about you? Would you want to live to 150?

Sorry for such a depressing post! I just found the concept of living to 150 to be very interesting and worthy of discussion.

When You Wish Upon a Star!

2006-04-08T23:58:00.000-04:00

So my silly sister got me on this Avatars kick. I tried making a person who looked like me. So I put mine and Becky's on the sidebar by our profiles (Aren't we cute?!)

Then I decided to make my dream guy. This is how he turned out:

Pretty sexy, huh! And romantic, too! Gotta get me one of those! ... Too bad I don't even know any single guys. That would help things. Ah well.

So making my dream guy got me to thinking. What is my "type?" I'm not too sure. Whatever it is, I never dated it. Each guy I've dated has been so extremely different from the others. How about you? Do you date your type? Or for some, did you marry your type?

PS... Check out the sidebar. I added some other stuff besides our Avatars pics.

Road Kill

2006-04-05T10:12:00.000-04:00

Imagine this:

its late one night... You're driving down some dark, deserted road. Its late... really late. You were headed to a party, but were given bad directions. You had gotten so completely and utterly lost: hence, the dark and deserted road. Needless to say, you never made it to the function. And you're starving. You skipped lunch that afternoon because you knew you'd be stuffing your face full of fantastic food that evening... but now you've missed out on that fancy food!!!

your mind is racing with these thoughts... your stomache is growling and cramping in hunger.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, a tiny little rodent-like animal jumps out in front of you on the road. Do you...

A. Swerve to miss the animal, subsequently crashing your car into a tree. You suffer severe bodily harm, but at least the animal is okay.

B. Slam on the brakes! You dont stop in time, and your back tire ends up directly on top of the rodent, pinning him to the ground. Your car is covered in guts, but at least you tried.

C. Speed up and laugh to yourself while picturing in your mind the look of terror on its face... Hey, you're tired and grouchy; you need something to cheer you up.

D. Hit him straight on. Then, pull your car over, get out your lighter, and start a fire on the side of the road. Cook the little rodent... you're starving and dont care WHAT it is that you're eating.

[this is meant to be funny. so, have a little humor in your answers.]

turn the other... ear?

2006-04-01T10:22:00.000-05:00

okay, you may have heard the saying: "turn the other cheek." aka: if someone does something crappy to you, just let it go; breathe in, breathe out; stay calm.

but do you have to turn the other ear?

here's a dilema... My surrounding community thinks its "cool" to blare their music loud when its nice outside. They turn on their cars, roll down the windows, and turn the music up really loud. And half the time they arent even outside when its playing. On many occassions, there are four or five cars doing this all at the same time, but with different songs.

it drives me nuts.

SO... here is my devious thought: i'm gonna go out, turn on my car, roll down the windows, and blare my music... but i'm gonna play kids' music. Perhaps everyone will see how obnoxious "The wheels on the bus go round and round" is, and rethink their own music.

is that mean? or should i turn the other ear?

Jack the Ripper

2006-03-24T14:07:00.000-05:00

Ok, so my post isn't really going to be about Jack the Ripper. I try to come up with fun titles that semi-match my question. And the ? is about ripping your pants. So Jack the Ripper is all I could think of. And now I had to waste my and your precious time by explaining that. Ah well. (The movie poster is for a great Jack the Ripper movie. You gotta see it. Since it is about J the R, it is very gory. Just a little warning there.)

So, moving on.

You're out to lunch with your coworkers. Not your buddy coworkers. The higher up kind that you really want to impress. You sit down... You hear and feel a RIP! Oh crap! Did you just rip your pants? To check, when no one is looking, you slip your hand under your bottom and yup... there's a rip there. It's a good sized one too. Oh crap! Inside your head, you think every curse word you know... and invent some too. (Yes, I said 'bottom' and not butt. I guess it's a teacher thing)

Now, luckily the meal just began, so you have time to think out a plan of what to do. The waitress comes, you order a water and a salad (You want to impress your coworkers by having them think you're a very health-conscious person... Very mature). The waitress comes back and goes to hand you the water. As you reach for it, you feel another RIP! Oh crap! The rip just got bigger! You try to act cool. You gotta figure out a course of action.

Do you:

All stealth-like text message your sister saying to call you in about 20 minutes. Perfect timing, she calls you just as everyone is getting up to go. Tell everyone it's a business call, that they should go on, and you'll take a taxi back to work. Then run to the nearest Walmart and buy a quick pair of pants that look similar to the ones you just ripped.
When it's time to leave, tell everyone to go ahead while you pay the check. This way you'll stay behind them the whole time, and so not showing them your holey bottom. Paying the $100 is a small price to pay. Besides, you'd also be impressing them with your generosity. Spend the rest of the day carefully manuvering around the office so as to not expose that bottom.
Feign illness. That chicken in your salad must have been under-cooked. Food poisening... Works every time! And hey- maybe you can even take the next day off work too! Party hardy!
Just tell them... It's a risk, but maybe they'd get a kick out of it. You could turn into the cool kid!

By the by... Did anyone every figure out who Jack the Ripper was? Or is it still a mystery?

I Can Hear!

Well, hello blogger friends.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I've been gone for 3 or 4 weeks. Becky's the one who's been running things. I've been a bit depressed. Dunno why, just have been. But I'm back now. Let's hope it sticks!

So, I can hear! Woot! For the past 3 weeks, I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear. Or more like, it was really muffled. Put your hand over your ear- you can hear, but not really. That's how it was like.

So I just got back from the Dr's office. Here it was major ear wax blockage. He flushed out both my ears... and I can hear! This is going to take some getting used to. Three cheers for hearing!

So the question:

If you had to lose one of your 5 senses, which would you give up? For those who didn't make it through Kindergarten, the 5 senses are:

Sight
Hearing
Touch
Taste
Smell

Or conversely, which would you hate losing? For those who already lost a sense, would you trade it for another?

(I know it's not Easter time yet... But other than that, I thought the cartoon fits!)
