I wonder how they say " I Love You " in Kentucky ?

Retro Music Friday - I Forgot Today Was Friday.

No really, I did forget that today was Friday.
My bad.



At any rate, this is Super Freak by Rick James. And you know I have a story to go along with this.

My boss has a black standard Poodle. Lovely dog. Kinda nutty, but lovely none the less.
Anywho, last year Brock had come to my work Christmas party with me and had remarked to me ( in a whisper ) that my boss's dog very much resembled Rick James.
The resemblance had not occurred to me until that point. Now thanks to Brock every time I've seen this dog since last Christmas I hear his voice in my head saying " That dog looks just like Rick James. "

At this year's Christmas party I was sitting next to a coworker ( I forgot whom ) and had remarked ( not in a whisper ) that my boss's dog very much resembled Rick James.

Upon hearing this statement my boss then asked the question.......the question that had the few of us sitting in the room baffled.

" Who is Rick James ? "



Pardon ?
Who is Rick James ?
I thought she was kidding.

Upon hearing " Who is Rick James ? " from her the few of us in the room launched into either our best half-drunk karaoke version of Super Freak or a complete full-on reenactment of Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, including " Fuck yo couch !"



I still don't think my boss knows who Rick James is.


This song was released in 1981. I was 5 and in kindergarten.
Shit I'm getting old.

Confessions Of A Sexual Harrasser.

You know sometimes when what you say and what you meant don't exactly intersect ?
Yeah, that happened to me yesterday. The disconnect between my brain and my mouth resulted in me unintentionally sexually harassing Darrell yesterday......not that he seemed to mind.

Darrell was wearing a very festive looking plaid flannel shirt yesterday. It had shades of red, green, white and brown in it and I thought to myself...." Gee, that shirt pattern would make a really pretty Christmas tree skirt. "

So upon running into Darrell in the hallway yesterday I said to him " You know Darrell, I just wanna toss you under my Christmas tree.. "
Right after the word tree left my mouth I realized that what I had said came out all wrong.

Being the good sport he is Darrell went right along with it.....he said ( with a slight twinkle in his eye ) " Well, if you insist. "

Of course I was furiously back-peddling, trying to explain what I meant.
Eventually I just gave up and we both had a laugh. Then we hugged it out and went our separate ways for the afternoon.

I caught up with Darrell later in the day and upon parting ways again at the end of the day he said to me " Hey, Christmas morning look under your tree, I'll be there baby..."
I believe he also said something about " only wearing a bow.."

So I guess you could say that Darrell sexually harassed me right back, which is only fair.


I frequently share these little "work stories" with Brock and more often than not he says;
" You know, if I did that at my job I'd be fired. "


Happy Christmas Eve everyone !

Retro Music Friday.

As I have said in the past, Brock and I have some differences when it comes to our musical tastes. Occasionally we can agree that we both like a particular band. Like Soundgarden. However, even when we agree we disagree.

This is Black Hole Sun. Brock thinks this is one of the better Soundgarden tunes. I also think this is a killer song, however...........

I find myself diggin' Spoonman just a wee bit more than Black Hole Sun. I'm sure you can all hear Brock groaning when I play this. He calls this their " throw away song ".

Both of these songs we on their album Superknown, which was released in 1994. I was just a young lass of 18.

______________________________________________

In other news, my work Christmas party was last night. It was a lot of fun and a great time was had by all. We do Secret Santa gifts and I had the good fortune of picking the boss's name. I think she really liked her gift. And the dessert I made was a big hit.

Have a happy Friday all !

P.S. I think I might be swapping out Tim McGraw for Chris Cornell on my freebie list. ;-)

The Surefire Way To Get Written Out Of The Will.

I was wondering what I should get my Mom for Christmas.
THIS seems nice.

The Five Year Plan.

The Mister and I have always toyed with the idea of being Expats, leaving the country for parts unknown - no forwarding address given...


Occasionally we get really pie-eyed, the idea of taking up in some foreign ( preferably tropical ) country becomes so intense we can almost taste it.

I think we've kind of always had this itch. After all, we thought nothing of packing up and ping ponging across the country when the mood struck us. I've lost track of the number of places we've lived after I got to number 15.
Maybe it was a case of " the grass is greener ", which we've discovered is not always the case.
Maybe it's still a case of greener grass.


Where as most people find a place to get attached to and to call home, the only thing we seem to be attached to is each other. Home is wherever we happen to be at the moment....

Brock's dream for us, as he has so eloquently put it, is to " drink, fuck and live on the beach. "
Although he seems to think that I'd get antsy being in an understimulating environment for too long.


(As I've said previously about The Mister, there is no other person on Earth who knows me as well as he does. Which is wonderful and kind annoying at the same time.
I cannot get anything past him. He knows. Sometimes I don't even have to say anything.
The flip side of that is that I cannot BS him. He sees right through it. )



Now don't go freaking out. We're not going anywhere anytime soon.
Like I said, we toy with the idea.



Although the Amalfi Coast sounds nice, doesn't it ?

Retro Music Friday.

Now I'm not usually in the habit of taking requests, but since one of my co-workers is so stressing learning how to drive a stick shift I thought I'd throw her a bone.
She initially requested Mr. Telephone Man by New Edition.
Unfortunately I am not able to embed this video, so if you want to see it you'll have to CLICK HERE.
Check out a very young Bobby Brown ( wearing red ) in this vid.....so full of hope and promise.....what happened to Bobby ?

However, I have a little something else up my sleeve.
This is Tyrone by Erykah Badu. ( which is not her real name, btw. )
I happen to be very fond of this song, I know all of the words and no....you will not be seeing me sing this at karaoke. I could not find anyone else who knew of and appreciated this song until Tania started working in my office.
So without further adieu, here it is.
( Brock hates this song, btw. )

This song was released in 1997, I was a senior in college.

Enjoy.

I Got Your Update Right Here......

I have a new reader......Everyone, let's welcome Anthony to our cozy little group.

" Hi Anthony ! "

Anthony seemed a little disappointed the other day to not have seen an update to my blog since last week's RMF.

So Anthony, here ya go......this post is all for you.
Now don't go thinking you're special or anything. ( j/k ! )
_____________________________________________
Hmmm......what have I been up to since last Friday ??

Well, I painted the upstairs bathroom on Saturday. Dare I say it looks AWESOME !
I seem to have acquired a reputation of being a shitty painter, which is simply not true. Perhaps my methods of painting ( Brock calls me the Tasmanian Devil with a roller ) leave a little to be desired, but the end result is usually pretty impressive.

I also got the deal of a lifetime on a Kohler sink at the big orange home improvement mega store.
And since my last interaction with them was less than stellar I was glad that they've redeemed themselves.

The circa 1950 vanity got sanded down and painted the other night. As I've said before, it is amazing what a little paint can do.

And since the word " bathroom " sounds so pedestrian and unglamorous I'm calling the upstairs bath " the spa ".

I'm planning on putting in a new counter top to go with the new sink, a new light fixture and a new faucet.


So that's it really. Not too much else going on here......

Ladies and Gentlemen....I present to you for your viewing pleasure the fantastically brilliant crapulence that is Talk Dirty To Me.

I will whole-heartedly admit that I LOVED this song ( and Poison ) back in the day. Oh yeah, I'll go ahead and own that....I won't deny it. I loved me some Look What The Cat Dragged In.

I'm not sure what particular brand of psychotropic medication you'll need to ingest to enjoy this.....but do what ever works for you.

Sorry this is a day late.

After All That They Won't Even Cuddle With Me.

Cox is screwing me.

I signed up for what I thought was their super-magnificent bundle package.

Cable, Internet and phone all on one itty-bitty bill.

Yee Ha !

Turns out the bill is only itty-bitty if we don't talk on the phone........ever.

I got the BIGGEST cable bill I've ever gotten in my life today.

I almost passed out.

I proceeded to call Cox and yank their chains for about 10 minutes.

I got the bill knocked down by about 25.00.

Whoop Ding.

Now I have to find a new home phone carrier.

Boooooo !
