Wanna hear something funny?

Yesterday was my birthday. I am now two years away from 40.

So today at work, Deb brought a tray of sweet bread and Lily brought donuts and kolaches to celebrate this momentous event.

We all enjoyed the stuffs and had some laughs (at my expense, of course) then it was time to get back to work. So I say my thank yous and good-byes, they all leave and I turn to get to work.

Well, the tray of sweet bread was right in front of my computer screen. I had to move it to do get started with work, right? So, grab the tray while I'm getting up and something catches my foot (ok it is a freaking cord that goes to this heating pad/massage thingy that I have on my chair. I hardly ever even turn it on...).
I lose footing and I trip... The bread goes everywhere and there is this loud crashing. Surprisingly, only Lily is witness to the spectacle. So yeah, there's lots of crumbs on the floor. Here's the bad part --- shhh... I put the bread back on the tray and placed it on the file cabinet where the candy dish sits. shhh... let's see if anyone just comes and grabs some. I'll tell them they can have it if they don't mind the 10-second rule (since the bread did touch the ground and there is evidence that will stay there all day until the cleaning crew comes and vacuums it away). :)

Well anyway, I fell cos I'm getting old. And when you get old, you lose your senses, you're mobility gets strained, bones are weak... Its not a good thing. I mean, c'mon, the heating/massage chair pad thingy didn't give my age away?

Luckily, I was able to get back up, this time. But I'm thinking pretty soon I am definitely going to need one of those med alert bracelets. And possibly, I will be able audition to be the star of the next generation "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercial. I think I'm good enough for that gig.

Now this is Wild

This is going to be short and sweet.

I had not tweeted all day today. No big deal. Right? Right.
When I finally do, this is what happens. It blew my mind for a second.

You see it? huh? huh?


Well when I tweet I sometimes want to see it on the public time line. Its like seeing my name in lights or on the walk of fame and its cool. To me that is.

Well, check out what got me OMGing.

Just under my tweet. there is a mystical and a mstickel. right after one another. Now this could not have been planned, right? I mean, they can't be friends and thought they'd tweet at the same time so their names can come up together. right? its impossible. right? there are way too many twitterers tweeting to be able to do that, right? I don't know. I guess I'm still blown away.

ok maybe its no big deal to anyone... but it was to me. thus, my blogging about it. so there it is. Could I be totally sick with twitter? That I am actually blogging about it? and its bothering me? is it time to let it go? or what?



Tell me this is wild, please?

anyone?



anyone?

Ladies... what's in your purse?

I was at the grocery store this morning.
I had my big bag like most times.
Well not really.
I don't usually carry it around to the store. I usually take my Dooney & Bourke wristlet.
(I love that little thing). Mine is in this design,

but this style:

(normally I'd post a picture of my actual bag, but I no longer own a decent working camera)
My cousin Lauren has this bee themed one. She's a huge fan of the Astro's Killer Bees.
Cute, huh?


Anyway. At HEB, I'm ready to pay my bill so I pull out my little wristlet (cos I use it as a wallet in my huge ass bag) and I notice I have some sandals in there!!! a pair of sandals. I got a little embarrassed. What if I would have been in a shoe store and they had to call the cops?? well its a good thing the shoes looked to have been worn. See, I picked them up from my sister's house on Saturday cos she stole them from my house. So my purse was the most convenient place to put them to snatch them back. And I for got to pull them out when I got home. (they're out now and in their spot in the closet. Its one of those door-hangy-organizer-things)


So I had to laugh at myself and wondered what else I've been carrying in my bag.
Well here it goes:

• check book
• plastic envelope looking thing for my bills and pay stubs and other important info I THINK I need to carry around
• a coupon organizer -- and I hardly ever use coupons anymore.
• the usb cord for my mp3 player
• two sets of earbud headphones one black, one white... (I have to match the best I can)
• my mp3 player, in its case
• my 120 gig western digital portable hard drive and its usb cord
• a tube of lipstick that I never use
• several hair accessories - pony holders, clips, etc.
• a pen (yeah, one pen?? with all the other crap, you'd think I'd have several pens, huh?)
• some gobsomething or another jawbreaker like candy. (haven't even eaten one of 'em)
• a spoon. a real stainless steel spoon.
• a book of stamps
• a pair of sunglasses
• a book (cocktails for three, madeleine wickham)
• and some loose change.

oh guess what I didn't have in there? my cell. I forgot it at home. oh and my car keys were in my pocket. I hate to put them in my purse cos they get lost in the abyss that is the inside of my bag.

So, go ahead and take a look in your purse... what's in there?
anything interesting?
