BIG LOSS!

BIG LOTS IS CLOSING!!!!!!!!



Another one of my favorite neighborhood shops is closing down!!!! Grrrrr!!!!!! Big Lots (in the old Kmart building down the street) was where I went, without having to drive in this stupid-town, whenever I needed something. I am really sad! Now I'll end up at SHOPKO (for real!!!!!)

Thanksgiving Break Round-Up!

Short and Sassy Review of my time off for the festivities of the Turkey:

Wednesday:

1. Rather than racing straight home after my last class, I unexpectedly attended an impromptu lecture by visiting cable-teevee star Barry Wood of "Trading Spaces" and HGTV's "Hidden Potential." Informative and persuasive. ("Sketch, sketch, sketch!") He had a twinkle in his eye. Pics will be posted!






2. Dig-N-Save, my favorite store in the world, had me as a customer once again.




3. My last trip to Westfield Comics by Westgate Mall. They are inconveniently moving further west from me next week! Grrrrr! Pics will be posted!




Thursday:

1. My mother and I had our Thanksgiving meal with my great-aunt Lillian, who at 100 years old is still driving! After yummy stuffing and turkey (and watered-down, bland mashed potatoes) we drove out to the Hamden Cemetary.




2. Spent the rest of the day watching HGTV at my mom's and yelling at Tasha.

The kitties ACTUALLY SAT ON OUR LAPS!!!!


3. I made a mincemeat pie the night before, and it was still kinda good even though I fell on top of it the next morning as I walking out to my truck and I slipped on some stupid ice and landed right on my back. Ouch and yummy! Pics will be posted!





Friday:

1. My dad came down to Madison and we went to eat at Fazoli's! Lots of free breadsticks were consumed!

2. Jeremy came back from Seattle! Yay! I picked him up from the bus-stop by the Arby's.

Saturday:

1. Jeremy is back in Covance (for four days). I think he's becoming a lot like me!

2. Another Dig-N-Save expedition. I find a lot of goodies there!



3. Matt and Dale came over and helped me to tow Jeremy's van away to Goodyear around the corner to fix the starter cable. The van had been illegally parked every other night out on the wrong side of the street (damn you, alternate-side parking law!).

4. I ended up meeting them at Shamrock later on to buy them drinks for helping me out. I had a Bloody Mary...

Sunday:

1. It has been made painfully aware to me that I can not handle liquor. Who the hell gets a hangover from one stinking drink????? Grrrrrrrr!

2. I tried to do all my homework that I put off this whole break by trying to do it at Barriques downtown in one day. I end the study session deciding to toss out what I've been working on to go another route on a different project - only 15 schooldays left!!!!


Postscript: All the while, thinking about the upcoming AQUA-PARTY this coming Friday, Nov. 30th at my place! Yes, I am planning a party, if you didn't already know (from all my other sources...)

Something I HATE!

I WANT TO BREAK DOWN WALLS AND SMASH IN GLASS WHENEVER I "LOSE" SOMETHING AND SPEND HOURS AND HOURS REARRANGING THE ENTIRE MOTHER-EFFING APARTMENT, ONLY TO FIND "SAID ITEM" IN MY BACK-PACK- THE SAME BACKPACK I ONLY LOOKED THROUGH FIVE-HUNDRED-THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cat-Talk!

Tonight my mom once again held the phone up to an animal to make animal chatter or whatnot at me. Joey (the gray cat) purred! He was always aloof before Toby Cat died. Now, I think he has to suck up to us humans because Sammy Cat sure won't have anything to do with him.

Idea!---I'm going to write the first soap opera for Animal Planet, starring cats.

Hey, Professor!

Tonight some student at school walked into the classroom where I was working alone on my homework and started yapping at me like I was one of his instructors. He was going on and on about some game he just played, and I'm just kind of nodding along because I'm was trying to get my project done. Finally he turns around and leaves yelling, "Good night, professor!" through the door at me.

I'm thinking he must not be a very good student, if he doesn't know his instructors this late in the semester he's gotta be really hurtin'...

MATC is great.

Guess What My Winter Plans Are!

Looks like I'm going to try to be a guniea pig at Covance again! I called up today to schedule a screening date - can't wait!

Overheard!

Let's See, What Haven't I Blogged About...

Here's a checklist for all my Bull-Roar fans of material I haven't shared with you all for one reason or another (you know I have excuses) for the last couple of months - aw heck, the past half a year.

- that time a bunch of my fingernails fell out (at the buffet table, of all places - how embarrassing!)
- I found out I have a long-lost twin named Bernard
- the condo I bought in Paducah, Kentucky with Lorraine
- the death of Nibbles
- which in effect, led to the demise of Rusty
- my new job at a Christian pharmacy
- getting fired from the Jesus "Pharm" for what "they" called gross negligence
- losing my passport in Botswana (kindly advice: don't do it!)
- hints for collecting supermarket coupons

Sorry I haven't blogged about the above. Time, as it is, is fleeting - so I will probably never blog about the above items - ever. I'll just let you, my dear blog-devourer to imagine these happenings in the context of my illustrious life. Okay, back to gutting that 14-point deer I just shot (and it's baby)!

CSI: Beaver Dam!

Hiya Bull-Roar Fans!!!!

I'm back for a bit here. Sorry about shirking my duties as a blogger - school's keeping me waaaay toooo busy! Yikes!

Anyway, to the heart of this entry- my mom's yard in Beaver Dam was the scene of a criminal investigation! No, Tasha didn't maul anyone. From what she told me on the phone, some teenagers robbed a pizza delivery guy in the neighborhood and ran, dropping evidence, i.e. a gun and something else (maybe pizza crust?) behind her garage and by the life-size ceramic deer in her yard. It was taped off and everything! Tasha didn't bark at the criminals, but she did open her yap for the police.

Here's a link to a story from the Beaver Dam Daily Citizen:
