Monday Mish Mash

I “borrowed” this post’s title from Stephanie. I love it. Just got a whole bunch of crap whirring around in my head right now.

A.) Soooo, my daily interactions in the legal field don’t normally involve criminal law. Today was one of those rare days I got a glimpse into the drama-ridden, frightening world of criminal law and its defendants. (((Shudder))) It sucked for me that I had to start off my work week being stared down by a violent individual. Plus, walking down the corridor to the courtroom I see the faces of various defendants and my mind races thinking about why they are there and what’s going through their minds at that moment. I know I’d be scared out of my fucking mind. They are facing jail time!!!

B.) Well, I got that out of the way.

For lunch, I ordered an egg white salad sandwich on toasted sourdough. $5.45 from my favorite downtown deli. Arrived to pick it up, and the cashier rings up $6.25. I ask why?

She replies, “We toasted the bread.”

“Ummm, come again?”

“YA, we toasted the bread, so that makes it a hot sandwich, which is $6.25.”

“I’m sorry, that is a bit outrageous don’t you think? It is not like I added any extra ingredients. In fact, I subtracted the additional mayo.”

“YA, that is our policy. We toasted the bread.”

Grrrrrrrrrrr! My eyes bugged out red & flaming, I reached across the counter and ripped off her glued on eyebrows while screaming like a banshee!!!! AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

Ok, well, maybe not quite. But, it’s what I wanted to do. Instead, I said,

“I’m sorry to hear that. I wonder how long you’ve been charging me that additional 80 cents? No matter, I won’t be ordering from your restaurant EVER AGAIN. I’ll make sure to inform my coworkers of your ridiculous policy as well. Good luck with that in the current economy.”

I should have just left the sandwich and walked out, but it was almost 3 pm and I hadn’t eaten lunch yet. I hate getting the hungry shakes. Stomping back to my office, I cursed myself over and over for forgetting my lunch from home!!! I had delicious chicken korma and I forgot it in the fridge. Double Grrrrr!!!! The Ethiopian cab drivers must have thought I’d lost it as I stomped past them muttering to myself.

C.) The Fuerte avocadoes from yesterday’s farmer’s market were the BEST ‘EFFING AVOCADOES on this earth. WOW, WOW, WOW. Ed and I both agreed that the guacamole was the best we’d both ever had. Fuerte avocadoes are a thousand times creamier and smoother than Haas avocadoes. I’m going to plant a Fuerte avocado tree in our backyard after the remodel. We have 3 avocadoes left and I won’t be able to see Barry until the next farmer’s market. What are we going to do?!

D.) Ed is so damned handsome. He just is. I think he’s hot. I thought so that moment I first laid eyes on him. Shoulders as broad as a house, tall, dark, handsome, with velvety chocolate brown eyes. So completely smoochable!!! He wore his black suit, midnight purple shirt, and steel gray, black and dark purple tie this morning for work.

Mmmm, he looked good enough to throw on the grill, smack between a toasted onion roll, and gobble up. Belov-Ed is deeeeelish. Sometimes I just want to take a little bite out of him just to see if he tastes as delicious as he looks. I sound like a crazed cannibal, but I don’t care! He’s going to read this and then look at me *horrified*, deeply disturbed, and wondering if he should sleep in the guest bedroom with the door locked from now on. I seriously do not care. I love that man-boy to ‘effin pieces!!!

E.) I’m on my second cup of coffee. Great brew today. I’ve got the tizzies.

F.) New Kids on the Block is coming out with a new album. Did you hear? Wow. Those songs bring back some memories from my teens. I’m actually looking forward to hearing what they’ve put together.

G.) Anyone addicted to The Tudors on Showtime? GREAT historical series with amazing actors, especially Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who played Joe in “Bend it Like Beckham”, one of my all time favorite movies.

Well, after last night’s episode, in which Anne was called a whore for having slept around, while Henry VIII was noble and of good character even though he banged any willing (or unwilling) young maiden that crossed his path, I realized that not much has really changed when it comes to society’s attitude towards female and male promiscuity. I don’t think it ever will.

I would have been beheaded for saying the following back then, and in some parts of the world I still would be, but Henry VIII was a bigger MAN-WHORE than any of the women “whores” he ever “had”. Dumb king. There. I said it. I feel much better now. Still doesn’t change the fact that it is still very much a man’s world. Alas.

H.) A Yankees fan ran over and killed a Red Sox fan in New Hampshire. WHOA. I guess ya can’t refer to Red Sox Nation as “Massholes” anymore, seeing as to how the Yankees have an ASSHOLE in their midst now. I hope that one-up-manship was worth it for her because she’s looking at some serious time in a slammer FULL of New Hampshire Massholes. Good luck to ya Ivonne!...hmmm, I wonder if she’ll run into any Chicago White Sox fans while in the big house? Tee hee.

I.) Princess Piglet of Pottstown Pennsylvania rocks. So does her smart cookie mama. I’ve been trying to remember and recite Shakespeare lines all weekend long. Like I don’t have a thousand other things I should be attending to, right? ;-)

J.) Is it 5 o'clock yet? Can't wait to see my golden furball and green feathered babies!!!
