New catty!

There are some very cute things in the catalog!

I still not feeling well. I may have to give up eating. The only thing I have done today is shower and watch a marathon of Northern Exposure.

I am of need of an electric stove, fridge and a storm door. I am putting this out and telling everyone (and the universe) that I need these and that they are coming my way.

What is everyone doing out there?

Mr. Fox Continues Time Story

Well, boss 1 came in today and was laughing and still laughing at me then told boss 2 about what I did and he laughed. So I laughed again. So FUNNY! Apparently, boss 1 little boy who is 6 years old kept asking him last night, "Is Rebecca going to work now?" "Why is Rebecca going to work at night?" Which made him laugh even harder!!!

I love to be the butt of everyone's joke...Nah! I am serious, I think it is a hoot and a half and really, really glad it was night time and not morning time. I don't like to be late and have to start off on the wrong foot.

What time is it Mr. Fox?

After dinner this evening I went into my room to work on my craft area. The next thing I remember is waking up, looking at the clock and total panic took over. I ran out of my room and into the bathroom. Then I went to the phone and dialed work and there was no answer. I called boss 1 cell phone. “OMG, I just woke up. I am going to take a fast shower and then will leave.” I then heard, “What wait a second.” Then he turned down his music. “What did you say?” I replied, “I just woke up. It is 9:15 and I have to shower then I will be right in.” He said, “Where are you going?” “TO WORK!” I said, “It is 9:15 and I am supposed to be in at 8:30!” He replied, “It is 9:15, yes 9:15 PM not AM. You have another 24 hours before you are actually late to work.” “OMG! Thank God! I thought I was late.” I hung up. Yet another reason why my boss is probably concerned that I am losing it….Darn Day Light Saving Time!!!

Update of sorts

What a stressful day today has been. I have put my earplugs in and listened to music all morning but one can’t help feel the tension. Boss 2 is, of course here. Boss 1 was here until 5 minutes ago. He normally works about 8 hours a week here and out in the field the rest of the time. I have started a log of days, which boss 2 is in the office. I am high lighting the days in my calendar. I am not sure if I will share the information to boss 1 or not. I just don’t know but one thing is for sure, you can’t be an outside salesman if you are sitting at a desk inside the office. What I want to come of the information I am collecting, I am not quite sure. I guess I am doing it for myself to see if it is me who is exaggerating his time in or if it really is happening. Depending on the outcome of the study will determine if the data needs to be shared.

I have lunch plans with my friend Laurie this Thursday. Is there another day, which my other friends would like to get together?

Today is my friend, Beth Zambrano, birthday. She is 40 years old today. Welcome to the club sister!

Butter vs Margarine

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings

DID YOU KNOW... The difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of Butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine..

Very high in Trans fatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC..

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: no flies, not even those pesky Fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something).

It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro organisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends...(If you want to 'butter them up')!

Up Down All Around

My mood is all over the place. I get really upset at a certain boss who won't go out and sell so I am very curt and short. Then I realize I have been curt and short and go back in to be nice. He must think I am just a moody witch!

Sleepy Time

Your Tuesday Update

I read while Paris is in jail, her parents are keeping themselves busy planning a party in Las Vegas for her when she gets out. I read her father has been in contact with several hot spots to see if they would be interested in hosting a party. I guess paying for the party yourself isn’t something the rich and famous do because the note stated he asked for $50,000.00 cash to be paid as well as hotel rooms and flights to and from paid in additional to the cash. Several of the big hot spots flat turned them down.

You know I find it interesting that Paris is going to get out of jail and hit the ground running to a party. It makes since though, it would be the closest thing to working for her since her real job includes getting paid thousands upon thousands of dollars making appearances at different hot spots.

I wonder if Paris will be shaking her money maker at one of those Las Vegas bars while her heart will actually be in Iraq with all the troops….

Poster and petals for the mentally challenged

I read online that since Paris now has first-hand experience on how it feels to be in jail while suffering from a "severe" psychological illness, activists wants her to be a poster girl for all of the mentally ill in jail.

I have also read that there are some florist who are putting up signs stating “Free Paris” and are having flowers on sale because flowers cheers up people who are depressed. I am thinking about stop taking my depression medication and just start buying myself flowers!

This is just “crazy” hot!

How you doing?

I haven’t been writing much, as a friend informed me today, on my blog. As each day passes I do tell me self I need to write but yet nothing very positive has been going on. Then I thought I could write about having nothing to write. Then it hit me. I have a lot to say and maybe it will be good to get it all down.

My step-father had a wake up call “heart-attack”. It wasn’t a full blown heart attack and they didn’t have to do surgery, but it is severe blockage. He is doing well except this morning my mom said he was getting dizzy. I say the man has always been “dizzy” in the head but I guess it isn’t what she is referring to. I am sure it is because of his blood being thinned but he will have it check out.

My step-father (now stay with me here…) grand daughter was found dead early last week. She was very, very young. I was very sad about her death. I did spend some time with her one time when she was little. She came and stayed with my parents and I remember taking her to a store. I ended up buying her a game…Don’t Spill The Beans…..I now wonder if she really had a chance at life. Both parents were losers and she was probably a drug baby. She died of a drug (heroin) overdose and left 2 small children. One a son, who is 3 and another, a daughter who she gave up for adoption…it is very sad.

My loser renter is no more! Well, let me rephrase this sentence….I no longer have a loser renter! I gave him the boot and he finally left. We haven’t seen the damage or what shape the house is in yet. It may be better to tear (just kidding…) the house down and sell the land. I asked the loser renter what I would find and he told me holes in the walls, he ripped up all the carpet, one room he laid down paneling ON THE FLOOR (what kind of crazy is that?), the electricity in the kitchen didn’t work and he was running an extension cord from the refrigerator to another part of the house! At this point, I think I just shut my ears off. I am sure it is going to be a disaster! This guy was a rent to own renter. When it came time to purchase he lied on his financial statements and the mortgage company tore up my signed paperwork.

My brother is having health problems. I can’t really go into more details about this right now. If you pray, pray for his health. His back is pretty messed up too.

Saturday night I went and spent sometime with my friends Luci and Ted at their new house. They live in the country!!! It was really nice. I brought over a crappy dinner. It is normally a very very tasty casserole. Fraubyers grandmother’s recipe but I some how screwed it up!! We ate it anyway ….they were very nice about it and even had seconds but I truly wonder…

I asked boss 1 to help me find a part-time job doing bookkeeping at home. He knows lots and lots of people. 2 days later he said he had something working and he thought my money was going to be returned to me here at work. He then left for an out of state trip and returned today. He has been running around here like a chicken with its head cut off. (Ever seen that??) Anyway, I haven’t asked and he hasn’t said anything so I still don’t know what that is all about.

That is pretty much a catch up of what is going on with me….How you doing?

Happened Today

I now receive my good from expected and unexpected sources:

This morning I went through Java Junction drive thru for a cup of coffee. I haven't been doing this because of the cost, however I was so tired I wanted to give myself a jolt. I also ordered a bagel, which is a huge treat and almost NEVER ordered. When I got to the window, their credit card machine broke and I was told "It's Free for you today!"

I am an unlimited being, accepting from an unlimited source, in an unlimited way.

I am blessed beyond my fondest dreams.

Pedicures!

Last night Maggie, Stephenie, Ariel and I went and had pedicures. It was a very nice treat!!
