A Mish Mash to match Leeners Monster Mash

Let's start with Gray's:

• I love McSteamy! Love him. Addy slaps him and he just grins. And he stuck around.
• Izzy and Evil Spawn I believe will get back together.
• Meredith is annoying me completely. And if she is pregnant, I may physically vomit.

Let's talk Men in Trees:

• My new favorite show.
• He is better than McDreamy any day. Just need a Mc Name for him....any suggestion?

Aileen talked about Iowa in her blog:

Gotta say I disagree with you on the Michigan fans being worse that Iowa fans. I think it is pretty much a tie. Who took the Bucky Badger off my desk and put it in a noose and hung it up over my desk at work -- Iowa fans! Let's not give Iowa fans too much credit, my friend. I am surrounded by them...and they suck.

Flirting via text message:

• I've been doing a lot of flirting via test message recently. And then the Foley story breaks, granted I am flirting with someone who is of age and someone I take classes with, but I suddenly see a life of political office slipping from my fingers. Bummer. Haha.

Chicago commercial:

There is a commercial in the Chicago area that I saw while in town this weekend. I don't know what this commercial is for, but the guy is talking about being married with three daughters and a female dog and female cats, and that he is swimming in the deep end of the estrogen pool. This cracked me up and made me think of my friend Dan who I was picking up at the airport on Saturday morning and told him about this commercial. He laughed and said I think I dived head first into the deep end of the estrogen pool. I have the Christmas picture of his three daughters from last year....Beautiful girls....estrogen pool or not, he did good!

I'm out for tonight, gotta pack for a business trip. Later all! Dolce Beijos!

Political Season

Come November, we have to vote for a new governor here in corn country. As you can imagine every other commercial on TV is a political advertisement. Which for the very few hours a week I watch TV it is tolerable.

Tonight while watching Grey's Anatomy, I heard a statistic that I find almost laughable. They state that 80% of meth in this fine state comes from Mexico and that little stat is their justification for immigration laws. Not the fact that it is illegal to come waltzing into any country without checking in and in some cases having your picture taken, and fingerprint filed. Yes, I know this from experience. However, I'd rather deal with the little drug stat.

Let's blame the meth problem on the Mexicans, not on the fact that we have a lot of bored people in this state with nothing better to do with their time than to play with a little chemistry set. Until a law was passed about a year and a half ago that requires me to sign away my first child several times in order to get cold and allergy medicine, there was at least one news story a week about some moron who blew up his/her house with the meth lab in the basement.

If 80% of meth in this state is brought in from Mexico, it is only because their is legislation now to protect people from their own stupidity. Unfortunately, I firmly believe those morons are also smart enough, and determined enough to find a way around the law which makes my life more difficult at a time when I would like things to be easier since I am the first to admit, I'm a bitchy sick person.

Occupational Laughter

I work in Dilbert cube hell. So I get the great honor of hearing my co-workers all day as they do too get the pleasure of listening to me all day. We even have a woman in the next aisle that suddenly and when you don't even know she is there or listening will give her two cents into our conversations, usually causing irritation. Today though catching a portion brought humor to us all.

Coworker 1 (female) says to coworker 2 (male): What's your wife's name?
Coworker 2: Her name is ___
Coworker 1: Well then who is ___ (a name not his wife's)?
This brought a chorus of laughter from the rest of us.
Coworker 2: Are you insinuating I have a girlfriend? (in a completely joking non defensive tone)
This brought more laughter, and poor coworker 1 was left stammering about what she meant.

Within 10 seconds of conversation being worked out and finished.
Coworker 2 says to Coworker 1: Hey, how are ya doing with that little stud of yours?
Causing me to nearly spray my computer with diet soda. The little stud was actually a part which I knew but come on, how can one not find that funny after the prior lead in?

I hope this isn't one of those stories you had to be there, because I'm still grinning over it.

Miscellania

• If you are a fan of Grey's and haven't watched Men in Trees, I highly recommend it. I can't watch it when it is on, because I am busy on Friday nights, but I DVR it and watch it on Sunday mornings. Its my reward for another week of school survived.
• I've been picking up Dan at O'hare on Saturday mornings. I gets me up and going and I enjoy his company on the drive into downtown. However, I miss the wake up call from my favorite little men. This week I got a voice mail message during first break. Little voices saying "Hi Miss Tammy, we came down to wake you up and you were already gone. Have fun at school and study hard." It put the biggest smile on my face for the rest of the day!
• Sorry Leeners...I like Finn. Bad movie past or not, I like Finn, though I know she will not pick him. I hadn't heard that McSteamy had signed for the rest of the season that is truly awesome news! I like him too!
• First full week back on WW is almost over. the first few days were pretty easy, the weekend has been more difficult. Especially yesterday having lunch with the guys, and seeing their burgers, while I was eating salmon and veggies.
