In Case You Were Wondering...

... the three of you who read this blog...

I'm not dead. I think I'm avoiding blogging because I've been doing a lot of "writing" lately -- I change my resume for every job for which I've applied in the last few weeks. And, believe it or not, I've been keeping busy as best I can! Wouldn't want to get rusty and lay around all day.

Now I think I'm blogging to avoid blocking Steel Magnolias. I'll do it. In an hour or so.

I feel the most boring blog entry coming along.

Oh alright. Here is Zeta. She practically owns the house now. The Sexy Beast and I can hardly stand how much we love this little dog!!!!

Here she is snoozing (she can sleep like this, or on her back stretched out or sideways and hardly anything will disturb her sleep even a photographer-- she gets that from her Sexy Beast Mom):


Alright! Now I have satisfied the Sexy Beast's desire for another photo of Zeta -- who, as you can see, is not quite black (Zeta, not the Sexy Beast) . As she has grown up, her beard is brown, and she has some salt and pepper on the back of her ears, and even more salt on the backs of her legs....zzzzzzzz ohmigoodness boring, boring, boring -- it's like we're parents of a toddler or something!

Ok, try this: my favorite new drink is Lime LaCroix but I have to have to almond stuffed green olives in it as a garnish. And they MUST be the HEB brand. We've started to call HEB, "THUH HEB" in my house because we have friends who are HEB careerists and they call it that -- and occassionally I go to Randall's and that makes me a Randallist. It's a thing in my house -- The Sexy Beast says "I'm going to THUH Heb... (note the emphasis on the "H" when I grew up emphasizing the "B")" Or, she'll say I'm going to Round Rock 4 or Round Rock 2 and I don't know what the f*ck that is! I just say... Ok, please get me some olives.

Go figure.

And THUH Heb version of LaCroix isn't so bad either!

I'm gonna do a "My HEB" commercial -- it'll be me sitting on the patio furniture shouting at people in the parking lot and not letting them in the store. "Nope! Sorry. This is MY HEB -- keep moving, that's right... try the 7-11."

How did this blog get to be about HEB?

OH... I'm sorry. THUH "H"EB.

Just for good measure, here is Zeta again -- looking like the cranky old man Schnauzers are accused of looking like! She needs a 'do -- we're taking her to get one tomorrow. After a 'do, she looks very distinguished -- I'll try to remember to post another photo. After she gets a hairdo, her eyebrows resemble Brook Shields even more than in the photo below.


Now. I'm out of La Croix so I'm going to run to Randall's and get some.

Yeah. You heard me.

Randall's # whatever.

Liz Clairborne No Iron Shirt

I don't think so.


I haven't had a shirt that gets so wrinkled since the button down Polo's I wore in the 80's.

How does this guy do it?

I'm just ...

speechless.

Swift Boater Gets New Berth

Employment

I've not been out of work in probably twenty years. That changed last week.

This is my first real adventure as a person who is not employed by a company. The IRS tells me I am self employed and makes sure they get the benefit of it, so I can't really say I'm not employed. However, self-employment hasn't paid a majority of the bills. YET.

I am looking for new avenues of income that please me -- and the perfect way to create it.

Here are some things I've noticed today, that would please me about "work." Working at home would be kinda cool. Here's why:

1. A short commute. It took me 20 seconds to get to work today.
2. A pet friendly environment. My dogs came to work with me today.
3. I can control the temperature in my office to suit me.
4. The coffee is just the way I like it.
5. I can leave at any time to run personal errands.
6. Naps. This is negotiable.
7. My coworkers are like family.
8. There is time to strategize.

NxNW Theatre's First Fundraiser!

Join us for our first fundraiser!

You won't be disappointed.

I'll link the banner as soon as our webmaster does his stuff, but for now... I just feel thrilled to have such a creative marketing director on my team who has put such an effort into the consistency our our look. She's wonderful, and the above is her creation.

Hate Crimes Legislation

It's hard to not feel hate, anger or vengeance against such people as the man who attacked Andrew Anthos .

Instead, please simply urge your Congressman to pass a Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

I prefer a Honor All People Act but until then, a hate crimes prevention act will have to do.

Peace.

It's Me Again...

Oh alright it's been a long time -- you're right.

Here's why:

1. Big fat new job wherein I am just now getting over the 90 day learning curve. I was working a lot and made myself a little sick even -- I got a cold last week. It's been hectic since the infamous two day freeze that Gladys Hardy told Ellen about on Ellen's show.

2. Three really big events with NxNW Theatre. A fundraiser cabaret in April, another fundraiser in May, and a show in June. Wow!

3. We're now in a Law of Attraction Club, long a part of our thought processes - you've probably lately seen The Secret rise to the top of the NY Times Best Seller list, Amazon.com, and/or seen or heard about it being on Oprah. I've had the banner in my right hand corner up there for quite some time.

4. This weekend we got a new HDTV and home theatre system. These guys have gotten quite reasonable in price. The screen is BIG! OMG. That's not why I haven't blogged in awhile -- but it is the latest news. Oh... that and Zeta will be a year old next month and we've just got to have a party!

Mostly I've just been working! Blech. Now that I'm feeling more secure in my position, I can relax a little.

I got the HDTV system set up with a friend yesterday but have not mounted my speakers in the most opportune locations yet. No wise cracks.

Today the Sexy Beast is rehearsing for a murder mystery musical! I'm so glad she's out being creative -- as for me, today I will just relax in my living room and stare at the big screen.


Here's the TV!
