So my darling husband decided to be nice to me in my hour of emotional and physical need and take Alex to his guitar and drum lesson last night. I originally had planned on relaxing on the deck with a book and a glass of chardonnay (trader joe's, btw...it's very nice) But then I decided to ring up an old friend. My gorgeous roommate from college (who is still gorgeous at 35 after 2 kids, I secretly hate her a little) emailed me out of the blue the other day. We chit-chatted via email and caught up. Well I looked up her number and got her on the phone. We talked for the next 2 hours. It was great! Owen kept pacing past the sliding glass doors. "Wanna play croquet?" "I found some new yu-gi-oh cards on ebay" "Are we eating dinner?"
I guess I should have warned Cindy that I had muscle relaxer before I called her...and I had two glasses of wine during that conversation...oops. But I was still able to make dinner! Granted, it was 9:15 and I was making hot dogs and baked beans, but still! They weren't just any hot dogs...they were NATHAN's hot dogs. Brilliant. You know how we have Vienna Beef in the entryways of the Lowe's and Home Depot's out here? Well in PA, they have Nathan's...it's a NY institution and I love them. I recently discovered that they sell them here at the Wiseway and I splurge every now and again.
While the family ate we watched a re-run of "America's Got Talent" on Bravo. Have you seen this train wreck of a show? It's awesome! Some Brit, Brandy and David-fucking-Hasselhoff, otherwise known as "the man who cried when Taylor Hicks won American Idol", are the judges. And basically it's an advanced version of the gong show...where they can buzz people to stop them from embarrassing themselves. Some are really good, some are horrible. Like the 75 year old male stripper...but last night, little 11 year old Bianca Ryan blew me away. If you follow this link to the show's recap site you can see a video of her singing. Unbelievable. The Brit told her to change her hair, change her dress, change her shoes (thank the Lord, those white shoes were hideous) and she would win this thing. I completely agree.
Well, I know the Raganites don't have to work on Monday. I'll be here with bells on. Hopefully you all have a great weekend!

I thought Oksana Bieul (sp?) the figure skater was one of the judges, but she's not Brit, she's Russian (actually Ukrane). Anyway, I'm sorry, I haven't the stomach to watch that show! Really looks stupid.
I didn't think you were suppose to drink while on muscle relaxers. Must have really mellowed you out.
Sorry you have to work on Monday. That sounds like attorneys. More work, more money. Hey, now that they've got you being the IT person as well as Webmaster, how about a raise!
Have a fun, relaxing holiday.
Forgot to fill in my name!! Duh!!
No, the Brit is a guy...
Yeah, technically you're not supposed to drink when taking any medication, even aspirin/tylenol. I usually don't, but last night I need them both for different reasons! HA! I was very mellow, Kev-head was laughing at me.
The whole time I'm reading anonymous' entry I'm thinking, "who is this person?" How funny it turned out to be my MOM!
Well it's one big party here in Chicago for Megan. Typical Ragan style... toilet paper and cray paper decorations on her desk… cakes and such before 9:30am… mimosas and bloody marys (Meg’s getting along really well with the customers today!) … loud laughter you can hear at the other end of the hallway… Megan can’t stop talking about the 8-second-high she’ll be chasing tonight. Good times.
Happy Birthday Meg!!! Jealous of your mimosas...
Happy Birthday Megan!
Hi Rappie and Julie and all the rest of you!!! The tigger is still a faithful bloggee.....:)
HEY TIGGER, so glad to see you!!!
Tigger! Lovely to see you my dear...I was wondering when you were going to bring your not working ass to the blog...
;)
Miss your face. This place is horrible without you and the pea.
I'm trying to catch up but this one's not worth commenting about. Although, I did think about Tigger rubbing her boobs on Rebecca's window.
Ahhem that is the Pea that does the boob thing
