A very large tee and a hee

September 2, 2010 Written by Lisa

Yes, I know I spend a tad too much time haunting the Palin blogs but this was HILARIOUS! It’s a good thing I wasn’t drinking coffee when I watched it because I would have had to get a whole new laptop. You MUST watch! (Don’t be slurping anything, though.)

Doc visit Wednesday – that was fun (not). Endometrial biopsy – results next week. He didn’t think it looked to be anything to be worried about but wanted to be sure. The biopsy itself wasn’t overly fun – the aftermath, though, weird. Something called “vasovagel reaction” which involved profuse sweating, near-passing out and for me, this very odd completely-out-of-my-body feeling. I had to literally coax myself back into my body. The doc was nice and had me lie down and turned down the lights a bit so I could come back to normal but it was hella weird. Not uncommon (according to an interesting menopausal site called “Power Surge” – nice name, eh?) but not fun. All day I felt drained and washed out. Just bleah.

I so wanted to take tomorrow off but since my backup co-worker just returned from 2 weeks on vacation, I didn’t think I should because he has to do his job and mine and when you’re 2 weeks behind, none of that is fun. So, off to work I go.

But a 3 day weekend ahead so wooo-hooo!

Love and kisses,
Snarkela (who is not (at this moment) passing out or sweating)

Blah blah blah, Suckage

Quick Thoughts

December 11, 2009 Written by Lisa

Taking a break from the woo for a day (at least here on ye olde Snarkypants. IRL? Nevah!) and sharing some thoughts of the day because I know you are really waiting for them. (hahahah I know. Please to be letting me delude myownself, mmkay?)

1. Tiger Woods – oh for fuck’s sake. We get it. He’s done some stuff. And I know that his extremely low profile ‘lo these many years only fuels the media’s desire for more more MORE. But this is just ridiculous. I don’t want to read his texts, learn how well-endowed he is or how many chicks he was banging. Watching someone’s life come apart at the seams, regardless of who it is (Britney, Mark “Appalachian Trail” Sanford … whomever) is just so sad on so many levels. And try as I might, I cannot escape those dumbass headlines. Even scanning them makes me want to take a shower. What people will do for money is appalling to me. Bleah.

2. Speaking of what people will do for money – Hi Congress who are paid by all kinds of lobbyists to do their bidding. As I said before, with the exception of maybe (maybe!) five members between the House and the Senate, you all suck. I know money-getting is part and parcel of the election process and I think we’d all be better off if there were some regulation around campaign financing because what we have now isn’t working at all. This bullshit wrangling back and forth over opening up health care for all is such a sham. And I’m fucking sick of hearing about it.

3. Adding to that, I am glad to see President Obama’s decision to increase troops in Afghanistan has been roundly criticized. On this, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt since he has access to information we do not and never will have. We can’t know the scope of what’s going on there. Still, it kills me that more lives are being sacrificed for what appears to be a big fucking mess. But I can appreciate that he’s being held accountable for his actions and that those who are against it (me and a bizillion others) are being vocal about it.

4. I like Twitter but I think I have some peeps on there who are huge chatters back and forth and the noise-to-(something) ratio is a mess. I’m gonna have to unfollow some who clog up my feed with their chatting unless I can figure out a way to segregate it somehow. Yesterday, when I was having a shitty day at work, Twitter was the only place I could whine. Whining to co-workers about other co-workers isn’t cool and will come back to bite me in the ass.

5. Cookie baking tomorrow! With Luke! And Cousin O’Cool! YEY! I think I will wear a santa hat because I am just that dorky. Don’t know if they pulled all the ingredients together for Italian cookies but we’ll see.

How’s that for quick thoughts?

Can I get an Amen?

January 9, 2009 Written by Lisa

From the world famous Hoffmania:

[By David Aquarius, elevated from the comments]

You know, I have so much hope for this administration. Sure, it’s misplaced in a lot of ways and I am setting myself up for disappointment but I think I have to be optimistic. I know that I will disagree with a good portion of what Pres. Obama may end up doing to get us out of Bush’s septic tank. He’s in charge ’cause I voted to put him there. The economic recovery doesn’t have to have the David Aquarius Seal of Approval to take place. Yet, some of my expectations are shared by a great majority of Americans. One of them is that my leaders show some courage and intelligence.

So, having put that out there I have but one question.

What the fuck is going on?

Jesus Christ on a Bicycle, can we refrain from looking like a bad clown circus for one fucking week? Great Goddess, does Harry Reid have ADD?

Here’s a suggestion: Think BEFORE you make a decision.

Apparently, I was confused

January 8, 2009 Written by Lisa

…. the Master Cleanse program (10 days of fasting) begins MONDAY not later this month. OH. MY. GOD. I am now scrambling to cut back my coffee intake (sobs) and sugar intake (sobs) so that the withdrawal from those things won’t be the reason I bail from the cleanse. I keep checking in with the Universe asking if this is appropriate for me at this time and I keep getting a YES so I’m moving forward. Duty thinks I keep checking so if I get a “no”, then I can use it as an excuse to not do it. Thanks, honey, for the support. (Okay, he knows me, just shut up.) Cousin O’Flair has been mighty helpful with the tips and whatnot and I’m doing it with a group from Young Living so I’ve got support there. Surely you all want me to write about my fun 10 days, correct? hah (No, I won’t share the gory details no matter how much you beg me.)

In other news, the Spirit Guide readings I’m doing for friends are moving along nicely. I’m learning new and interesting ways to ask for information (thanks to the flyboy) and it’s been a good experience. Definitely preparation for whatever it is I will be doing next. I am still contemplating what fun kind of contest I can run with the prize being a reading with one of your guides. I want to make it something creative and goofy. Thoughts?

Clusterfuck to the White House continues with a special edition of “Idiots in the Senate” showing daily. Geez. Keep your eye on the ball, people. Blago was within his rights to appoint Burris. Stop with the drama. Not taking up for Mr. Hairclub for Men but really and c’mon … just get over it and move on. We have SO MUCH WORK to do to clean up this mess that I cannot understand all the wrangling and whatnot going on. Yeesh. Are you all really in high school? And Harry Reid? Dude … what can I say? You need to either purchase a pair of balls and make them your own or give over the SML position to someone who does.

Okay, off to work. Happy Thursday!

General, teh WooWoo

“Fatuous Condesending Lunatic”

January 6, 2009 Written by Lisa

When I watched this last night (Monday), I cracked up at KO’s commentary on Darth Cheney. “”Listen up you fatuous, condescending lunatic. Your task was not to deal with the aftermath of 9/11, it was to prevent 9/11.” LOVE IT.

I know there are actually people who think bushie has been in charge over the last long, sad eight years but there is no question in my (admittedly conspiratorial) mind that Darth has been at the helm all the way. Lots of horrendous crap is going to ooze out of DC once these criminals go off to Dubai or wherever they plan to hide.

Hmm, wonder if Darth’s bunker is portable.

In the immortal words of the Grateful Dead “What a long, strange trip it’s been …” Indeed.
