Exhaustion, Insanity & Tranny's Dresses

Life has been ridiculously exhausting lately. I am in the same routine, day after day. Not sure how much longer I'm going to last... I'm seriously loosing my mind.
I came into work on Tuesday only to find that my printers disappeared (from the print server). After putting in a helpdesk ticket and waiting about 7 hours, they were finally fixed. During the non-printer time, though, I was almost continuly cussing. I could not for the life of me remember that my printing capabilities were non-exsistent until actually reaching the "print/page setup" screen and clicking OK to print. I couldn't even "print to a pdf" (cutepdf); that was gone too. One of the most awful/fabulous dumb blonde moments came out of this, though. I got off the phone with a fund company, promising that they would recieve a document I had scanned into my computer a week or 2 prior. I open up the document, and for whatever reason, was thinking I needed to print it. I started "panicing" when I remembered my printer issues, and asked my co-worker if I could send it to her and she could print for me. Of course she said "OK," but then I realized what I was actually about to do... I was going to email it to her, have her print it out, so I could scan it into my inbox, and forward it to the rep from the fund company!!!! What a dumbass I was... I told her and we all had a good laugh about it, but yes... blonde moment indeed.

Moving on.
Was flipping through all things I can never afford, yesterday... million dollar houses, new cars, and Nordstroms.
Ran across a cute little dress and happened to scroll down to the review written on the dress.
Here is the dress pic & the review...

I'm amused by the fact 0 of 8 customers found this review helpful.

Nimoy

The time has come.

Leonard Nimoy has retired after 60 years of acting.

Let's take a quick snippet from Wikipedia... just because we can...

"Nimoy was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Yiddish-speaking Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Iziaslav, Ukraine His father, Max Nimoy, owned a barbershop. His mother, Dora Nimoy (née Spinner), was a homemaker. Nimoy began acting at the age of eight. His first major role was Ralphie in Clifford Odets' Awake and Sing, at 17. He studied photography at the University of California, Los Angeles and took Drama classes at Boston College in 1953 but he failed to complete his studies. Supposedly, He has an MA in Education and an honorary doctorate from Antioch University in Ohio.

Nimoy served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army from 1953 through 1955, alongside fellow actor Ken Berry."

From one Liz to another....Happy Birthday!

Potomac River pollution yields transgendered fish... uh what?

Only in DC...

The Potomac river, the main body of water by the nations capitol is terribly polluted. 

It's sad really.

But I saw this article earlier today is I just had to laugh!

Group Asks For More Study Of Potomac Intersex Fish

WASHINGTON (AP) ―More funding is needed for research on intersex fish in the Potomac River, a Washington environmental group said Tuesday while announcing a new "Fish Mystery" campaign to draw attention to the problem. The exact chemicals, or mix of pollutants responsible for male fish showing female characteristics such as producing eggs, has not been determined. That mystery highlights the need for more study, Vicki Blazer, a fish pathologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said during a conference call announcing the campaign. "We do believe it's a complex mixture and we're trying to get a handle on what chemicals are important and particularly if we can manage any of those chemicals," Blazer said. The conservancy has the support of Rep. James P. Moran, D-Va., who also participated in the conference call and said he is working to steer $30 million to fund research on the problem. Moran said he is concerned the pollutants that are causing intersex fish could also be causing human health problems. "We've got to fully study it so we know what we're talking about," he said. A 2008 study found as many as 77 percent of male smallmouth bass in the South Branch of the Potomac had started to produce eggs, with the highest percentages adjacent to farming and population centers. Some suspect drugs like birth-control pills and chemicals in household products that make their way through sewer systems and into waterways may be responsible. The conservancy said the problem is not limited to the Potomac, noting intersex fish have been found nationwide.
While the problem is studied, consumers can take steps to limit the problem by choosing the products they buy more carefully, said Hedrick Belin, president, Potomac Conservancy.  Many products contain sanitizing and antibiotic compounds whose environmental impact is not fully understood. Blazer said fertilizers are also being eyed as a possible cause and Belin urged consumers to consider whether they need to fertilize their lawns. Moran also urged people not to flush old prescription drugs down the toilet, but instead take them back to their drug store. "Don't flush pharmaceuticals down the toilet, they don't disappear when you flush them," Moran said. 

 

This is not the first time the Potomac has dealt with a strange species...

back in 2002  there was the snake head fish.

People were really freaked out by this little guy...

 But now we have upwards of 75% of male fish laying eggs!

There must be something crazy in those waters, and I don't plan on even putting a pinky toe in there!

Tribute?

I have no clue about anything, when it comes to history, geography, or even "my own people." I am 100% Polish, and though I know nothing, I feel the need to post the article regarding the Polish president. Do you think I can pull off a few days out of the office for mourning?


On a lighter note... Lego animals have taken over the Zoo!!

Please note, this next portion of the convo came after Tiffany came into the cage (my office of employment) while I was calling building maintenence reporting our bug issue. The beginning of the convo is a song from Yo Gabba Gabba (we both have 2 yr olds). It goes something like this... "I like bugs! I like bugs! What's that? That's an ant! What's that? That's an ant! And ants crawl around. Let's crawl like an ant. Let's crawl like an ant."

Tiffany- BUGS!!!!!!!! I LIKE BUGS!!!!!

LONDON - Two women were arrested at a British airport on suspicion of trying to smuggle a dead relative onto a flight bound for Germany, police said on Tuesday.

The 91-year-old deceased man was pushed in a wheelchair through Liverpool's John Lennon airport wearing sunglasses before check-in staff became suspicious on Saturday and he was prevented from boarding the plane.

He was believed to have been driven about 35 miles to the airport by taxi from Oldham, Greater Manchester, police added.

The women were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of a death and were released on bail.

"[P]olice at Liverpool John Lennon airport were alerted to the death of a 91-year-old man in the terminal building," police said in a statement.

"Two women aged 41 and 66 were arrested on suspicion of failing to give notification of death."

The cause of death is not known.

Unbeatable T-Shirt

OK, so Monday was not the most plesant day for me this week. However, there was one thing I saw that will stick with me forever and is a sure-fire cheer-up!
There are lots of, how do you say, hispanics around this "town." There is a local 7-11 where a large group of them sit/stand and wait to be picked up for a job.
On Monday, after getting gas, I was cutting through the 7-11 parking lot and waiting to turn onto the street. I glanced to my right and there was a large "crowd" of these eager gentleman. It took me a second to realize, but then I saw a guy wearing a tshirt that said "Pick Me!" It was the ONLY thing on the shirt.
I laughed hysterically. So fabulous!!

So this got me thinking... I think we should start a stereotypically thsirt company. We can't ignore the fact that white women love scarfs. With that being said, stereotypically tshirt number one will be for white women... babydoll style, with a graphic scarf around the neck of the tshirt.
Fabulous. I know.

Play time!

Hubby recently found a box of his toys from when he was a kid. Yes, I did a photo shoot as some were being revealed to me.

"You will die, cat. You understand?"

"Call me!"

Oh no! OH YEAH!

Michael Jackson. Too soon?

Trying to defeat the remote.

"Send out reinforcements!!"

"OK, cat! I've got you now!"

A true female...

"It's fun to stay at the YMCA!"

Stop Yawning!!

Just realized something about myself...

I have a habbit of ripping any type of document up before I throw it away.
I remember watching my parents do this with the mail when I was little; the ads or "unauthorized" marketing materials that would come through (i.e., credit card offers, donation forms, etc). They'd glance over the document, and then rip it up. These items would only be ripped in half. Sometimes once more, but no more than that.

I haven't noticed until recently, but I've been doing this for a few years, now. Pretty much since I've been recieving legit mail.
I even do this at work. Once I get done with an insurance license notice that comes through, or annual report notice, I rip it up and throw it away or shred it. Sometimes I find myself making notes on it before I rip it up. Completly pointless. Notes as if I am going to save this document for our records. As I'm writing the last word/letter, I decide I'm going to toss the item.

Again... pointless!!

I'm currently listening to Lil Wayne's GO DJ... this song reminds me of days in Scarface with Liz Marie #1.
Ahhh... I was an awesome DJ once upon a time... car dj, that is...
I had the fastest cd change times EVER! She used to time me.
It was pretty impressive.
I miss those days...
