Apparebtly he prefers to be carried since he gets tored on long walks.

He does not like Michael Vic.

Adventures in Retail...When dealing with a Cell Phone Utilizer...


I work in retail and i despise people on cell phones while you are trying to help them. so when i am at the register and someone is on the phone..i just stop what i am doing and wait for them to get off...and because they are annoyed that i am not ringing up their stuff...;they get off phone and then i restart ringing in their order and thank them for not talking on the phone because i want to make sure they are understanding what they are buying. :)

Sometimes if someone is talking on the cellphone and i am waiting for them to get off the phone
i start to ask them questions
that i know i do not need to ask
just to throw their concentration off.

its awful
but
it always
works.

Sweep the Rockies with some SOX!

original Bostonian....all the way!

Life can be so complex..Kinda like sushi.

Its friday by the time you read this and therefore maybe the Red Sox have won another game. Maybe not. Its a tough call now to say that because i write this Thursday Night.

HAPPY FRIDAY.

Life seems to be better this week. My alignment on the car from hell
seems to be working fine. There may possibly be a freelance job (finally)
in my corner. I am trying to work out the details . Please say a few thousand
hail marys for me as if you do I might possibly carry this freelance job out to fruition. I will not say what the freelance job is until its finalised.

It feels good to say that though....I may possibly have a freelance job.
BUT i am being positive and taking care of myself.
I have to be thankful to myself that i work hard.

Where is this post going? I am not sure. I am half thinking as the Red Sox play a tight game with the Rockies as we speak. I cannot watch the tv. Its too stressful.
May the best team win game 2 of the world series. May it be the Red SOX

GO SOX!

frosting on the cake

frost·ing (frô'stĭng, frŏs'tĭng) n.
Icing, as on a cake.
A roughened or speckled surface imparted to glass or metal.
REGIONAL NOTE Although both frosting and icing are widespread, people in New England, the Upper Midwest, and the Western U.S. tend to put frosting on cake. In Pennsylvania, New Jersey, the Lower Midwest, and all of the South, the preferred term is icing. There is some overlap, especially in upstate New York, Michigan, and California, but the regions in which the two words predominate are surprisingly distinct. A few people in the South call it by a third name, filling, even when it goes on top.


LADIES AND GENTS
I HAVE GONE TO THE DARK SIDE
I AM GETTING MY ALIGNMENT DONE BY ANOTHER SHOP
AT 1230 pm EST

its been a long time waiting......going on DAY 4

more to come later
in the meantime....enjoy the frosting

Sushi Cat with a Bad Attitude: a side note

Today is day 3 of me waiting for the alignment to be done on my car.

about the alignment technician

(yes that is a fendi bag.....no its not mine)

i spend our money on lemon scented VW's)

Everything I do, I do with love & P-A-S-S-I-O-N

That quote above though I will not take credit for. It was uttered
by the shake your bon bon star of hip shaking glamour...
Ricky Martin.

I do share his thoughts though.
Besides my car being a frightful lemon
its not the worst of the worst
and i play on
and work through it
because there is still a free day
to do whatever i want
when i want
and i have a whole mess of people
that cheer me on.

Thank you all for being so supportive.
I will make you all PUMPKIN RAVIOLI
and if you let me cook for you
you will not be disappointed.

Thumb Twins FOREVER!

Ok i was looking on people.com today and I see this Pic of
Jessica Alba. Seriously, MY THUMBS DO THE SAME THING!
HOW COOL! I am triple jointed. I always have been. My mom and dad used to
tease me about this Trait. But now I could be famous!

now i do not feel like a freak anymore.

Marisa:)

Feelin Feisty !

I must go out and buy this talented singers cd
she is formerly a guitarist in a canadian punk rock band named Placebo
(not to be confused with Placebo the English Band)

Feist is the singers name
(in case you have not noticed the album cover in the picture)
and you may have seen her cool video for "1234"
(when MtV plays videos....right on Justin with your proclaiming
they need to play VIDEOS)
and
you may have heard her song in the new
NANO IPOD COMMERCIAL....come on people...do you want to watch VIDEO on a NANO?

I got my hair restyled and dark like this fabuless lady
and it feels soooooo good. Its amazing what a new do'
will do' for you.

If that is FAT then we must all be Heiffers!

To say that Britney is fat
is not very kind. I feel bad for her.
She wanted to make a comeback....and her song is great!
Her performance of it could have been better. SOME parts of the choreography
worked, some parts obviously did not.

Maybe a stylist should be fired for dressing her like that.
BUt hey, if you had TWO kids TWO years in a row
WOULD YOU LOOK ANY BETTER?

give the poor girl a chance.
Hollywood needs to eat something.
Its about time someone like Britney shows she is a real woman.

It frustrates me that
everyone thinks Britney is a fatty.
SHE IS SO NOT. i personally think she is still hot.
She has had some bad luck and she goes the way of giselle
with the bikini waxes....BUT she will come back
and as long as she gets back on being a better parent

she is so much better off now than when she was with that
LOUSE of a ex-husband....FEder WHO?

Gelato! Sorbetto! Melto!!!!!

Hi there everyone.
The South Sore Plaza has come into a new kind of fast food joint.
Its a california chain called MELT.
They serve gelato and sorbetto. They also make sweet and savory crepes.

I do not know how healthy it is
but i had a ANDALUSIAN CREPE yesterday before my shift at the Kitchen store.
It had mushroom, spinach, avocado and cheese
and it was tasty!

I have to go back and try the gelato at some point but there
are only so many calories to be had in one day.

OH YEAH....My husband presented me with my birthday present yesterday.
Its' none other than the ring i have wanted for awhile....
A 7 carat Green amethyst with little diamonds all around it.
Can you say....Happy Birthday? i am so excited and happy and thankful.

THANK YOU DAVE!
xoxo
