Sometimes, Things Can Come Back And Bite You In The Ass

This is sorta a rant but things worked out so............But I'm going to bore you with the details anyway!

Part 1

There is a parking spot in back of our building that belongs to our office but thru the trickle of employee turnovers, another employee in another office muckled on to it with squatters rights. She thought! When anyone else parked there she was vicious, all four feet nothing of her. She held on to that spot with her life. She said the owner (my boss and owner of the building) said she could have it. I spoke with him about it and he said he did no such thing. He doesn't like confrontations so he didn't do anything about it.

Part II

I have had a fan in my operatory for the past two years. I found it in the basement and thought it belonged to us. My boss offered to get me an air-conditioner but I declined because the fan was suffice. WELL.........this week I went into work and my fan was GONE!!!! The other office just took it without saying a word to me. Let me just state for the record that the female dentist in that office is a bitch and she has her staff trained to be the same. I really don't know who the fan belonged to but it was the way they dealt with it that pissed me off.

Part III

I calmed myself down, went next door(to their office) exaggerated the way I was looking around(so they would get the picture) and said I would like to speak with the hygienist. (The one in MY parking spot). She immediately came over to see me and asked what was up.
I sweetly told her that I was car shopping and that I was giving her notice 'til the end of the week, that she could no longer park there. I was very nice about it. She rattled on about how she inherited it but I said that was irrelevant. Not a happy camper!

Part IV

My boss bought me the most beautiful fan (it even has a remote) that same evening, and left it outside my operatory with a big bow on it. For me to find the next morning. Sweet is his middle name!
He also told me that the hygienist in question, had called him at home the previous nite and offered to pay rent for the parking spot. What a jerk huh? "I'd love to rent you a spot", he said, "but I don't have one available".

How cool is that? Pardon the pun. (fan and all).

If they weren't such assholes about the fan, I probably wouldn't have said anything, hence my title for this post.

You're Only Six Once!!!!

Saturday, Sophia and I started the day(morning) by dropping in to my office to check out the Treasure Chest!!! She picked out lots of fun things.
Then we were off to the local Kermesse Fun fair that takes place once a year to raise funds for the local children's hospital. What a blast!
They had so many things to do, face painting and fun games to play with great prizes. She won a loot and had a ball. Her favorite was this one. You put on a vest(much to big for her) attached to a bungy cord and see how far you can get(run) before the bungy cord pulls you back.
What a hoot to watch her!





She has a cat painted on her face.









Then when we got home her aunt (my older sister) took us to lunch at a nice restaurant. She misbehaved a bit, but I think that was because my sister and I were talking and she got bored.
Later we went out to get a movie to watch that evening. We both fell asleep in the middle of it. :) Fat Albert.

Sunday we had chocolate and minature marshmallows pancakes for breakfast. With bacon of course, she loves crispy bacon. Then we went out and found a carwash to wash her daddies car. That took a while.

Then we had a picnic (we picked up McDonalds on our way home) outside on the deck. They don't have their patio furniture out yet, so we set it up on the upper level and sat on the steps. Correction, I sat on the steps, Sophia sat on the plastic tablecloth. Later on she remarked how hot it was, and I said, yes it is darling. She had her bathing suit on.

Then I cracked up laughing, SHE was sitting on plastic, no wonder she was hot!!
I put some napkins under her bum and it was better.
Then later I mentioned she had to wipe her mouth with one of them.
I was joking but she didn't know that.
I can't she said, "I farted on it".
I cracked up again, she's at that age where she knows she's supposed to say "poofed" or "tooted", but she gets a kick out of the F(arted) word.

I talked to her last nite and she said she misses me soooo much. She said whenever she walks by my empty bedroom she cries.
God love her, she is so sincere.

That's what being six is all about, and it only happens once!

Home Sweet Home

I'm not at home, I have been at my sister's since tuesday evening, house sitting and babysitting my six year old neice. What an experience this has been. Don't get me wrong, I love her dearly and she is a doll but very time consuming.

She considers me her personal play toy!

She wants to sleep with me every nite and I don't have the heart to deny her that. Last nite I had her, the two cats, and Rosey in my bed. I was tired and when I was reading her a bedtime story, she was interacting with all the animals, it was tooooo much. I told her she was going to have to go to her own bed.

Well........she started to cry and I told her she had to be a good girl then. Thru all the sobbing, she wailed, "I'm doing the best that I can". She'd make a good politican.

When I picked her up at school on Wednesday she asked me if her parents were still home. No, I said, they're gone. YEAH, she said.
Even when I go to the bathroom, I have the three animals and Sophia in there with me. No rest for the wicked.

I made a deal with her tonite, so that I could have some alone time (hence my being able to blog). Tomorrow is a big day, tons of activities for us to do.

That being said, it is actually a pleasure to be online and catch up with my favororite bloggers.

Thanks A Million

My Sweeties

I have a neice and nephew (twins) in Cape Breton that e-mail me to keep in touch. They are eight now but have been doing so since they were six. Callum is a bit AWOL with his writing (he's my soul mate) but Maddie drops me a line regularly.

I received this e-mail yesterday from Maddie ............

Subject: I Love You

Hi Aunt Maggie How are you doing?I am fine.I hope Rosie is doing good.Whats new with you?Irene is getting Big! And she still bites and it hurts alot! I hope you like these pictures!
(See photos Above )

Irene is a puppy that they got in March. Irene is also the name of their grandmother that died in December/06. Three months earlier! At first I was taken aback, not knowing what to make of the name calling.

After I thought about it for awhile, I realized that it was very appropriate. Their grandmother(mother's mom) was a such a kind and gentle soul she would have loved it. The twins are also sensitive and loving, so I'm sure they had their own logic for the honour they bestowed upon the puppy.

Ya gotta love kids, they have their own way of looking at the world........ thru innocent eyes.


Have A Groovy day!!

Thinking of You All

THINKING BLOGGER AWARDS

Heather over at , Fly With Me, honoured me with this award and I would like to take the time to respond with my own. I have very few and selected bloggers that I choose to share my time with, simply because that's just the way I am. I am the same way with friends, if I have too many, I can't give as much of myself as I would like.

That being said, I am going beyond the five allotted and they are in random order.





Bunny Lynn Boofay


Glamour Goddess of The Year
And what a Glamorous Gal she is! Whenever I read about her escapades, be it at the trailer park or Walmart, I just smile and life doesn't seem so bad. She is a genuine true treasure in every sense of the word. I love you Bunny and please never stop entertaining us.
Huggs, etc.




Fly With Me



If there ever was a Supermom, this is your girl. She runs a tight ship and makes sure it sails!
She is so honest in her writing, I sometimes think, "is she for real". She's real alright and is definitely someone I would be honored to have as a friend. She's also very funny and you have to be on your toes to get where she is coming from. Smart Woman.
Keep on rockin' us in the real world with your wonderful posts!

Steve's Whirlyworld

Now here's a guy that makes us believe that anything is possible. He is always positive and postive things happen to him. Good friends, jobs, travel, selling and buying homes, come as natural to him as breathing. Good Karma follows him because he allows it too. We can learn a lot from him. Sometimes good things do happen to good people. Cheers Steve!

Tiger By the Tale

Ahhhhh, TigerYogi. What would we do without him? He keeps me constantly entertained with his wit and wonderful way with words. He can take an ordinary day and spin it into a delicious television soap opera. My favorite (and most everyone) are his tales off "Mumsy"and his dysfunctional in-laws. I think you have a "pilot" for a sitcom there TY. We Love You. (We really do!)

Greedy Maelstrom

Lemuel, as Elizabeth Barrett Browning said......How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

Emotionally of course not physically. :)

Here is a gentleman who is so open and honest with his feelings, it's hard not to open up to him. He actually cares about us and in return his feelings are reciprocated many times over.

He is a kind and gentle soul that I truly admire. That's a Wrap and a Hug!

Spo-Reflections [Ur-Spo]

Here is a man that is stressed to the max with his job and still finds time to spend with his many readers daily. I find that amazing! He shares with us his wisdom and knowledge that enrich our lives and hopefuly makes us better human beings. He's very down to earth and explains the psyche in words that we can easily understand. That's not easy to do but he manages to do so effortlessly. For that I thank you Spo.

He can also carry off a Bow-tie with flair. Not too many guys can do that!

Farewell To Falwell

This is for my friend TY.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

I think this one says it all!!!

Devil Incarnate

Remember the urban legend where the babysitter was high on drugs and thought the baby was a turkey? Then the parents came home to find it in the oven cooking. That story was not true.

Well............this story is not an urban legend, it's a nightmare that's real. I still haven't come to terms with the bastard that did it. Lock him up and throw away the key is my first thought but better yet, just let good ole' Texas take care of him. I hope he rots in jail.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - The state has taken custody of a 2-month-old who was burned after police say her father put her in a microwave oven, officials said.

Children's Protective Services took custody of the child Tuesday, the day her father, 19-year-old Joshua Royce Mauldin of Warren, Ark., was arrested on a charge of felony injury to a child, CPS spokeswoman Gwen Carter said. The baby will be placed in foster care once she's released from the hospital.

Carter said CPS has asked that no family member be allowed to visit the child at Galveston's Shriners Burns Hospital, where physicians from the University of Texas Medical Branch have performed two skin grafts.

The child suffered burns on the left side of her face and to her left hand, police said.
Galveston County District Attorney Kurt Sistrunk said he had seen photographs of the child's injuries. "They clearly met the definition of serious bodily injury," he said.

A Galveston County grand jury indicted Mauldin on Wednesday after hearing evidence that he placed his daughter in a microwave at a motel for 10 to 20 seconds last week.

Mauldin, who said he came to Galveston with his wife and mother because he was called to be a "preacher", told police on May 10 that he put his daughter in the microwave because he was under stress. The family had arrived in Galveston the day before.
Police have said the mother and grandmother remain under investigation.

Writer's Block

I LOVE OSCAR!!!!

~ Oscar Wilde on Writer's Block
“Okay, so they get in the ship... and...”

The Writer's Block Act of 1897 was a bill passed by the senate that decreed all writers who have writer's block will...(follow up on this)
...........here come the suck police!

"Sir, did you write this?"
"Why yes I did!"
"Well it sucks, you're going to jail!"
"Oh no!"


Yeah, like I'm a writer.
There's no excuse for not writing every day, but mine is, I really don't have anything interesting to say. Some people have the knack to make their ordinary day seem quite interesting to read, I don't have that knack. :(

For example:

I had a fairly good day, went to work, went shopping, came home, took Rosey for a walk, made chili for supper. Ahhhhh! There's something I can tell you about, the secret to chili.

I was told this by a very cute Scot (a patient) a few years ago. Not only was he adorable but the accent, ohhhh, the accent would make you want to eat whatever he made. BUT, the secret to it is CHOCOLATE!! How great is that!

I miss my little Scot, he used to tell me the weirdest things when he was under nitrous oxide. Sometimes he would come in for his appointment in the morning and not been home from the nite before. Under the influence, he'd start telling me about his escapades from the nite before.

We'd always have a hug (PLATONIC LOVE), after his appointment. He was a sweetie and I do miss him.

Wow, I got sidetracked there for a minute, sorry! :)

Have A Great Weekend!!
