TaaaaDaaaaa...
Remember the story of "The Dad...The tree stump...The Handsaw...The Shovel....and the empty bucket?"
Well here is the Happy Ending. Of course along the way there was a brother who is both A.D.D. and alcoholic AND was operating a chainsaw!
Oh yes, it was a scary afternoon here with "that" all happening. But the stump is gone. The hole is filled and hell, even the birds left some seed on the ground for grass to start growing!

Work....
So I have it really "good" at work. My store manager loves me.....LOVES ME.....
He's Irish....I'm Irish.
He's sarcastic....I've been known to be sarcastic.
He expects people to do their work and then some without being told. That's how I work anyway.
So with all that in mind, I seem to be able to "get away" with some of the things that others in the store can't. I know when to "not" push my luck.
Anyway, so there is a "dress code" we are all suppose to follow.
Black shoes, dark pants, white shirts, company vest or smock and a name badge.
I NEVER wear a vest- smock- or name badge. He nevers says anything to me about it unless the big wigs are coming in for a visit.
The other day I wore a red shirt, with black jeans and black shoes. He asked me the dress code. I gladly recited it to him and then said "How's that working out for ya?" He laughed and walked away from me shaking his head.
Well I know he wants me to wear at the very least a "light colored" shirt. So I got this today. Can't wait to wear it to work!

WTF?????
As if I'm not disgusted enough with our government!
Today I read this online:
WASHINGTON (June 19) - A Pentagon document classifies homosexuality as a mental disorder, decades after mental health experts abandoned that position.
The document outlines retirement or other discharge policies for service members with physical disabilities, and in a section on defects lists homosexuality alongside mental retardation and personality disorders.

Ok...so I lied
When I first saw Callie on top of the refridgerator, I thought she was just exploring and stuff.
BUT- Apparently she actually "LIKES" it up there!

Paper or Plastic?
You would never know that I work in a supermarket for 25 years, would you?
Perhaps I should start a list and do alittle food shopping this week.

Dear o Dad......
I'm doing this entry a day early, just in case.....You know just in case the world actually "does" end tomorrow on 06/06/06.
June 6th is my Dad's birthday......how old? He will be 65. All things considered, I guess he is still in pretty good health. The main thing he suffers from, is stubborness!
My parents and I share a two family house. We have a nice size yard. In the yard for the whole 40-something years we have lived here there has always been 2 large pine trees in the yard. They were huge. As tall as the house. Wide...so wide that they started touching the neighbor's house next door.
So what does the stubborn - mule of a Dad - do? Trim them? Heck NO! Too easy I guess!
HE...HAD...THEM...CUT....DOWN!!!!
Now everyone and their Mothers can see from the street into the backyard! Now, I at least don't feel safe letting the kids even go out in the yard on the swings alone! JACKA$$.....I mean MULE!
Oh, and instead of renting a tree trunk remover, he is going to "do it himself" This ought to take him about 2 years to do! Hell, he isnt even using a chainsaw.....he's been using a HANDsaw!
Yup, a shovel, a handsaw and sitting on an empty pail, that's his gameplan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UGH! Anyway.....Happy Birthday Dad!

20 days of observations....
Okay, I promise I will move on from the Callie entries soon...
Here are some observations--
- I'm still waiting for the "cage anger" to come out....
- Callie's catnip mice MUST first be soaked in her water bowl before she will play with them. She does all the dipping and removing from the water bowl herself!
- Every room - even the bathroom, MUST have at least one catnip mouse in it.
- She loves the Sunday newspaper.
- She is obsessed with the tub/shower.
- She will come running from any room in the apartment as soon as she hears the toilet flush!
- She is quick as --- well as a rabbit! She races from one end of the apartment to the other before I can even turn my head!
- She has a conversation from the kitchen window every morning with a squirrel outside in the yard, I actually think its the same damn squirrel everyday too.
- She can never get enough love from me or whoever is here!
- She plays "tag" with my 2 year old niece! Oh and today they had a tea party! Of course Callie cup was filled with Pounce cat treats!
- She thinks that if she jumps on the bed @ 4am and wacks me in the face, that I'm going to get up and feed her. Right! Let me know how that works for ya furball.
-If she had her chance I think she would claw to death the guy who invented the Dyson vacuum cleaners!
- Her p**p really stinks some days!
- She MUST check out the closet EVERYDAY! Like anything in there changes.
- She is a total joy!
-Even my Dad likes her! And he wants everyone to think he is a harda$$.

I am a single lesbian living in northern NJ. My likes are the NY Yankees, my rabbit CC, NYC shows, and too many things to mention.
