I like the exterior color scheme too.
jenks - 05/16/06 16:59
Did you look at this house before? that dollhouse/model on the landing looks familiar. Either way- looks great, good luck!

Inhaler Madness and TB Shots
Category: health
I realized I have misplaced my inhaler. Today I have to be with some cats. This is a nightmare combination. The employee clinic at Roswell insisted that I get a TB shot.

The computer clears the records every year, so even though I got the shot 5 months ago, I need one again. I thought this, could work out maybe they can get me an inhaler. However, they can't. I would need to talk with my primary care physician, which I don't have yet. I should probably just go back after the cat experience and require oxygen instead, argh!

Apparently i have good blood pressure still even on my high protein diet.

1- what's that crap dressing they put on your arm?!
2- i hate when hospitals play dumb and won't give you meds. You're like 'i can see it it's sitting right there and I need it' and they're like 'yeah but you can't have it.' I was totally dying of a cold one night at work and they wouldn't give me sudafed.

Where on earth did you get that picture!
Best of luck with la casa.
leetee - 05/15/06 19:19
Good Luck with the inspection!

I used to walk past that house regularly. And we could see it from our bedroom windows when we were in the apartment.

I hope this house is everything that you, Matthew and Terry want!
dcoffee - 05/15/06 19:17
Looks great Paul! Hope all goes well.
metalpeter - 05/15/06 19:13
I wish you the best of luck with that.

Mother's Day Extravaganza
Category: food
My mother seriously outdid the last three mother's days. While waiting for the food to be ready I caught this on TV. A show called Po vs Connie where Husband and Wife duo Maurey Povich and Connie Chung do a liberal vs conservative schtick. What is the world coming to.

image

There was also a variety of new reality Television shows including Shalomn in the Home and some other show about the life of a family of dwarves. You would think the reality televsion bubble has got to burst soon.

I thought last years mother's day had the most food possible (e:paul,3303) but this year she had 5 kinds of meat. I wonder when I look back at the data after world war three what I will think of the excess we have now.

Old anger revisited
After looking around last year May on my journal, I realized how much my life has changed for the better. I went from the most unhappy time in my life to being satisiied with just about every aspect. I hope that it makes those of you who are unhappy now realize how much your world can change. I realized I truly hated this time last year and I am so glad those days are over. Nonna died, I had no money, and I didn't get the job that I thoughtwas my dream job. Now I have a job I love so much, awesome coworkers and money to buy a house. I really hate the fact that I doubted the future then.

I blame my unhappiness on working with too many old people whose talent had either dried up or who never had any. Looking back I realize now that Canisius was really holding me back on every level. I guess that is what happens when you work with mediocracy for too long - it just makes you complacent. I truly feel sorry for students that waste their money on that lame digital media program.
lilho - 05/15/06 16:59
does this mean that this time next year ill be way less of a bitch. i find myself yelling at people all the time for no apparent reason. my life sucks right now. well, when it comes to jobs and such, otherwise, i'm pretty lucky. being poor sucks. im po'. aw snap.
leetee - 05/15/06 09:36
Your mom must really love to cook. Not that mine does now (my dad is chief cook and bottle washer now), but back when she did, her mother's day always included a day in which she didn't have to cook. Not one that she made a huge meal...

I am very happy for you, Paul. Glad for you that you are happy with your life. Yay!
kara - 05/15/06 08:00
That is a serious amount of food.
mike - 05/15/06 01:14
how are we not fat? Three meat holidays used to be the norm, will five meat holidays put us over the edge?
