You know you are old when.....

Someone drives by you in the city with their music turned all the way up and all you can think of is, "Wow, that is so damaging their ears."

What comes next? A new hip??? Jeez!!!!!!!

AC/DC Rules!

I wore my AC/DC Back in Black t-shirt into work today and on my way to the elevator, a guy in a wheelchair with Down's Syndrome was rolled by me by a nurse and after he passed me yelled "AC/DC Rules!" And when I mean yelled, he yeeeeeelled. It was so funny I laughed all the way to the third floor and during report.

And by the way, I'm repeating this story to anyone on the unit will listen and it's probably one of the highlights of my life. My lifelong goal is to lift the spirits of any mentally challanged person that is wheelchair bound.

Gym tourettes workout weirdo vocal freak guy

It seems like everyday, I find something new that bugs me. But this one is definitely one to blog about...
I went to the gym yesterday and EVERY elliptical was taken except for one (i guess it was prime time for gym going) and of coure 5 minutes into my workout, I realize the guy right next to me is "that guy". He kept yelling, VERY loudly, to get himself pumped about his workout. He kept yelling things like "woah! Yeah! That's what's up!!" At first I thought he was just getting really into the olympic swimming he was watching, but then he kept doing it during the commercials! It was at the point that he started yelling "Do it! Whats up now??? Do it!" and noticing everyone in the gym looking at him and subsuquently (sp?) me since I was a foot away from him, that I decided I was "tired" of the elliptical. No matter how loud your ipod was, you could hear him through out the entire gym.

I keep trying to come up with a name for this guy like workout weirdo or gym tourettes, but nothing that comes close to describing how weird and annoying he was.

Berries Berries Everywhere

I have some berries, called Pokeweed berries, growing in my backyard! And not just some, TONS. So I looked them up on the internet to see whether or not they were poisonous (just in case Rusty ate the fallen ones, we all know we don't need Rusty eating any more poisonous food!).
Well, sure enough, they are. Here is a copy of the description I found.

Pokeweed berries: Early September, 2003
The berries, though poisonous, are a source of a brilliant purple/dark red pigment used by natives to dye textiles and later to artificially color red wines (not allowed anymore due to the toxic nature of the juice). One of the toxic components found in the roots and in the berries causes clumping of the red blood cells and triggers abnormal division of, otherwise resting, B & T-lymphocytes.

What the crap!!!!!!!! I'm sure it won't kill you on contact, but from what the description says, they sound pretty bad. I should make a jam and give it to that Jewish princess girl at work.

Song of the week

I honestly can't stop listening to this song.

You can tell when I'm bored at work when...

A random picture of Rusty that my co-worker took in the car...



It's funny because it looks like he's smiling. He actually might be laughing at a joke I just told or one that he heard earlier that day. Or maybe he knew he was on his way to see Piper or saw a funny billboard. Who knows.

I did it all by myself

Yes, I joined a gym and my membership offcially starts today. Everybody, this is a first for me and I'm extremely nervous. A HUGE DEAL!

Also, Rusty has started a new game where he tries to grab the toilet paper out of your hand (with his teeth, not his paws) before you can reach your butt. I dunno...it's fun for him and semi-annoying for me but in the end, pretty dog-on cute.

Over.
