  Today, the minutes ticked away at a granny snail's pace at work. It should have been at least two days - that's how long it was! And I didn't have a single thing to do pretty much the entire day besides track down presentations for our Production Dept that my boss was reviewing. Oh, and I strutted around in my new white skirt with the purple and tan flowers on it that I bought yesterday, along with the purple v-neck shirt that matches. Everyone has complimented me on it - even my boss who for the past 3 years has taken absolutely no notice of what I've worn. Today he says, "I really like what you have on today. " I'm like, "Thanks! " And that was that.&nbsp; Until I get off the train today at my stop after work.&nbsp; I walk down the first set of stairs, go through the turnstile, round the corner and nearly bump into a girl wearing my skirt and a lighter purple shirt.&nbsp; Damn, thought I'd gotten hold of a good skirt there, but now I'm afraid I'll be seeing it everywhere. The weather is really crappy today and if I remember correctly, the weather report this morning was for monsoon-like rains.
Lovely. Because that's the kind of rain we've had the entire day. Perhaps one day soon it will decide to get sunny & warm before "summer" is over. Oh! Lightening just now! With the faintest hint of thunder. What I wouldn't give to be back on the farm with a nice tin roof listening to that rain come down! From what I hear, my nephew, Jackson, is in Louisiana having a good ole time. It's been reported that he loves this Grandaddy's new pond and tractor.
His grandmother, Mimi as we call her, has already bought him a pair of rubber boots and some new tennis shoes - or sneakers as these Yankees call them - and some sandals.
Oh!
I nearly forgot - I saw a girl get hit by a car yesterday! Ok, maybe I should say that with a little less enthusiasm: i saw a girl get hit by a car yesterday. She wasn't really hurt. She was jaywalking and a cab driver was backing up so he could parallel park along 49th Street &amp; 7th Avenue.
He bumped her and she did the rollover & flip thing in her teeny tiny skirt. I'm sure someone caught sight of her undies, but not me. Not that I'm interested in that sort of thing - you know, other girls undies. Anyway, all's well &amp; good with her, I guess, though I imagine her leg has to hurt today where he hit her. So earlier, I ventured over to Newsfeed - News for Bloggers, News for Junkies, where I stumbled upon this story: urlLink US food scientists working for the US military have developed a dried food ration that troops can hydrate by adding dirty water or urine. Now, I don't know about you, but I just don't think I could live with myself knowing that I rehydrated my food by pissing on it.
I just couldn't do it. You? And then I read a story on MSNBC.com today that tells us what we already know: urlLink Howard Stern, blogs and voter virgins hold the key to the election. I watched this video a couple of weeks ago, but since I've heard about it all over the news I figured people might be looking for the link to urlLink This Land &nbsp;by brothers Greg and Evan Spiridellis.&nbsp; It's a spoof of this fabulous show we call Election Year 2004.&nbsp; Watch it!&nbsp; You'll love it!
