Misconceptions
Tomorrow, I will tell you all about the weekend. Tonight, I will talk about misconceptions.
It cracks me up when people get the wrong idea about some things, we all do it, every day. Have you ever asked a woman if she’s pregnant and she’s not? I have, not a fun experience, for either of you!
Well, this weekend, I had one, a douzy. I have been wearing my mom’s diamond ring since she passed, I wear it on my right ring finger and as I said, I have worn it since my mom died, ten years ago. There have been times that I meet someone and they ask if it’s my engagement ring from when I was married, nope.
This weekend…PSM took a picture of me drinking a stout. A bunch of people couldn’t believe I was drinking, which I wasn’t, it was a goof, a bunch of people just liked my nail polish, a fabulous blue that PSM actually selected a while back and the rest…”Did I have any news?” “Beautiful ring!” “details” What? My sister said people were even reaching out to her! Any news?
Thanks people, but this was my mom’s ring, I have been wearing it for ten years and it’s on my right hand.
Promise…I’ll let you know if there is something to know!

The things you overhear
Sometimes, it’s just hard not to listen.
We’ve all been in this situation…you’re out somewhere in public and people are talking loud enough for you to hear and you start listening, you just can’t help it. If they wanted their conversation to be truly private, they should whisper or have it somewhere else!
Sometimes it’s a fun conversation, sometimes…not so much. This morning, PSM and I were having breakfast and there was some turmoil going on in the kitchen, big open window into the kitchen, someone was having a bad day! At lunch, the women at the table next to us started talking about needing mani’s and Pedi’s and the pros and cons of gel polish, I could have given them my two cents!
Tonight, we were having dinner at a pub and there were very few people there with us. Two tables back were a pair of guys having a drink and talking. First, it was about the Marvel Universe, how it’s changing and how it needs to, then Stan Lee, then the merits of X-Men, finishing up with building a bar in the basement and friends would come over. I’m sure they would!
I love people watching, I know people are doing it to me and I’m ok with that!
What did you happen to hear tonight?

Furry love
I absolutely love having my cats with me.
Even though I saw the cats on the weekends when I was on the road, I really missed having them with me. So, when the opportunity to have them with me full time while I am on this project, I took it!
I don’t know what I’ll do when this project is up and I have to move on to the next project/location, maybe I’ll be able to find a pet friendly hotel and have them with me. I could rent a car and drive to the location, I don’t think they would fly very well, unless I could knock them out, who knows, never tried.
Even though Peanut is having some issues right now, I love having them with me. I come back to the room every night and they greet me, of course they want food or treats, but I’ll take it. What I really love is when I sit on the sofa, they are right there next to me, one on each side and then when I get in bed, here they come, either sitting on me or just to my side.
What could be better than warm, soft, purring, cuddles? Not much!

Take a…
break…take a moment…take your time…
All these things feature the words “Take a…” did you ever wonder, we are taking these things, and I know it’s just an expression, but what are we taking, where are we taking them?
But the big question is, we are taking these things, but are we giving anything back?
Nothing more philosophical tonight…Take some time to ponder your answer!

Would it be alright if I finished ordering before you interrupt?
Just a little frustrating…
This has happened on more than one occasion and I’ve had enough and want to say something and then I hope I’m done, so here’s my rant.
I order the same drink from the big named coffee place, you fill in the blank. I don’t order very many things, so I tend to stick to the same ones for a long time. Since this place now offers coconut milk, and I am excited about it, I have one drink that I order.
It’s the largest one they have, coconut milk, “hot or cold?” excuse me? “hot or cold” well, if you would let me finish my order you would know what I want, extra hot. Then I ask for the decaf chai, we don’t have that, yes you do have decaf, it’s in the tea bags, “that’s a latte” fine, decaf chai latte, which I have gotten with coffee before, no thank you! no water, no foam, extra hot, by the time they get the ingredients, I have to yell out “no water!” and they have to start over since they poured water into the cup.
Please let me finish ordering before you ask questions, I am sure I will answer all your questions by the time I am through.
Rant over, thank you!

A new laptop…please!!!
My laptop is H O T!!!
Last week I went into the Boston office because my laptop wasn’t recognizing the charger I had attached and it was burning up!
I know laptops get warm, but wow! My laptop is on fire! If I get cold, I sit it on my lap!
Forget the fact that it’s older and heavy as a brick! But one of the frustrating things is the CD drive, I accidentally hit or brush the button and the drive opens, frustrating, yes!
But…August, I get my new laptop! I already ordered it through the company and I cannot wait! A touch screen that will be nice and light! I cannot wait!

Auto corret…Love/Hate relationships
We’ve all fallen victim to auto correct once or twice, right?
Ok, come on, be honest, it’s like hundreds of times, right? Have you ever looked at what the phone auto corrected with and felt like sinking into the floor? Sometimes it picks words as a suggestion that have nothing to do with what you are typing or thinking. Does your phone stick words in the middle of your sentence without you realizing it sometimes? The worst part is when you don’t catch it and hit send! Then you try to fix it and it makes it worse? Ugh!
Now, there are all sorts of sites dedicated to this lovely situation and I often wonder…could these actually be real? Some people say no, but after going through it myself, I have to wonder. Although, with some, I might have to agree, they seem too extreme to be a simple mistake. I do love the ones between kids and their parents.
Now, one of the websites I like is “Damn you autocorrect!” I’m not going to post the link because sometimes the first one that shows may not something I want to be to be associated with, so I will just let you go there if you so choose.
The thing I love is that when I click on one, I start laughing at some of them, sometimes so hard I’m crying. What I don’t love is getting sucked in and an hour later, I’m still looking at these crazy things!
Enjoy! [I was trying to think of something funny to pretend to auto-correct, but it’s just not working, so enjoy!]

Driving a hybrid
This weekend I am driving a Toyota Prius.
I’ve driven hybrids before but this one was different. Is very quiet, sometimes you don’t realize if the car is on. You start the car by putting your foot on the break and pushing the button, again, so quiet, you don’t know of its on, you have to look at the dash to see if it says “Ready”, then use the shifter to put it in gear.
The dash is cool, you can change the display to show you what the output is, an internal view of what’s going on, there are hand controls on the steering wheel that when you touch them, to control the temperature or radio, show on the dash.
You can control the a/c from 30 feet away, I need to try that! Check out their page, it’s interesting all the things involved with the creating and running of the car.
The car has been fun to drive, roomy, good pickup, quiet, a little dangerous because the pick up is so good and it’s quiet, you get up there in speed without realizing it, dangerous for me, for those of you who you know me!
The gas mileage is terrific, good sound system, good cargo space, passenger space. All around a good car.
It’s great for the environment, and I’m not saying I want a Prius, but if VW came out with a hybrid beetle bug, I’d be the first one in line to test drive it!
