so. Ive taken to walking around the block at work during my lunch hour. Yes.. I get an hour for lunch, and Im 30 minutes away from home, so there isn't much for me to do. It is about a 10 -15 minute walk depending on how fast Im going.

So Ive been walking.. and its usually sunny out so me and my very sensitive eyes are usually looking at the ground as I go.. and I have to tell you I've seen some pretty odd things on the ground. Its a small little triangle of a block.. two roads aren't used much, the third is route one. Not much on the block, but a house and an antique shop. On the corner there is a couple of convenience stores. My first time around the block I notice all the usual side of the road junk, the 1000 cigarette butts, the coffee cups, the used scratch tickets... but there have been some odditites. some more so than others. There was the bunge cord - the kind that you use to secure your trunk when you can't shut it all the way. There was the small wicker basket. then there was the dead woodchuck.. who looked like he crawled up to the side of the road and died. the piece of a bank one credit card. There was a quarter... the four kittens (that someone dumped in front of the clinic and didn't put them in a carrier so they ran off into the field next to the clinic). then there was the piece of raw broccoli.

would really like to know the story behind the broccoli..

from the AP:

VATICAN CITY (AP) - A senior Vatican official who watched clips from Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion" offered enthusiastic praise Saturday for what he saw, despite concerns from Jewish groups that the movie will promote anti-Semitism.

Many conservative Christians say the unreleased film powerfully depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus' life. But Jewish leaders say the work suggests Jews were responsible for the death of Christ, and could trigger anti-Semitic attacks.


all I have to say is.. WELL DUH! the jews were responsible for the death of Christ.. but it was almost 2000 years ago, and it was part of God's plan.. now wasn't it..

I had a dream this morning that I woke up, was getting ready for work, and turned on the tv, and the macy's thanksgiving day parade was on... and I still had to go to work. Get the feeling that I don't want to be working this holiday season.. I do.

Ive been dreaming a lot about kittens too. Aadly I don't remember much of it so I can't put it in my dream blog, but it usually freaks me out. one I do remember is some grey tiger kittens escaping the kitten room, and wrestling with my own kitties. *sigh*

I do not want to go to work this morning.. help

so what is going on with blogger? past couple of times Ive gone to blog its been down. How strange is that?

well anyway.. lets see.. august 9th hun? what's been going on since then? Not a whole heck of a lot. I did win another prize from the radio station I listen to. The first time I won two rounds of golf for the hubby at a ritzy country club.. he was quite chuffed. Then I won two tickets to the local wine and cheese show thrown by the local grocery store. I really wanted to go, but I wasn't about to shell out the $30 per ticket - since I don't drink. I won tickets to go on thursday, and I had to work on thursday till 6, about 45 minutes away.. and it only went from 4-7. So we "crashed" on friday, and they let us in. Had a few cheeses I was currious about, some I didn't like, a few I loved. Im very much going to start looking for them in the stores.

We are starting to look into the basics of redoing the downstairs bedroom/bath combo that we've been dreaming about since we built the house a few years ago. We went to one ritzy place and she said her average bathrooms run about 30k. and that's just for the bathroom.. Going to have to find someone else. .. possibly do a lot of it ourselves, cause I was hoping to get it done for around 10 - 15k.

Ive also been an ebay fool lately.. got a couple of cute things.. oh speaking of which I got two packages today I have yet to open. It started by trying to find cute cat scrubs for work... then our remote control extender stopped working *looks at kitty who knocked it off the shelf* then I found a three year old annual magazine, so I searched to see if anyone was selling last years or this years.. and I found a cute dress. there was an absolutely adorable cat condo which I didn't buy

Ive also gotten a couple of things from some of the internet sites I signed up with.. Gotten a box of ceral and some coffee from a survey site.. gotten some gift certificates from Milesource and Memolink. I just love getting things in the mail.. well things that aren't bills.. lol.

Well I really should get off my butt and clean this house.. I have GOT to just get out a big trash can and heave a ton of stuff. Shuld get myself on that new TLC show, clean sweep.. but I highly doubt they'll do my whole house :)
