Foot Loose & Fancy Pants

all walls come down

2008-07-16T16:00:00.000-07:00

Even in yucky grey cubicles.

Yesterday afternoon, maintenance came and took my cubical and my huge over sized (but I loved it) desk and gave me a table to put my computer on...A 4ft table at that, and basically told me i get to live out of a box for another 2 or three weeks. Hmmmm sounds like a plan, I guess. See, my place of employment is doing a building wide remodel which includes moving my department from one side of the building to the complete opposite...its good for us because we get all new furniture and a brandy-new renovated storage space with a WALL OF WINDOWS. But like i said not for 2 or three weeks. Mind you the renovation has been on going since June when i started! In the mean time...I have to sit out in the open....I feel like I'm in a fish bowl, Everyone can see me and what I'm doing on my computer and if I'm picking my nose or if my socks don't match, or if I'm not doing exactly work on my computer. Ugh. Oh well, all in the name of progress.

hmm can i copy?

2008-07-15T20:34:00.000-07:00

so after not being on line for a bit and deciding to try to catch up with some old pals and their lives and some of us I can say lack there of...i decided after reading that:

A. I'm a blog slacker. I started this blog with the purpose of letting you know and documenting for myself the trials and tribulations of me and my relationship...hmmm like I said I'm a slacker.

B. OR MAYBE I found other things to do and forgot about this thing.

C. I'm going back to my original themes and going to get my balls rolling ie..."you might need this"...Thankful Thursdays (something I would do on message boards thanks to OPRAH)...and thanks to another friend I think I'm going to have a joke day....lets start today.....

The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight , 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m. , a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckoo-ed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckoo-ed another 9 times... I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him.(Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT !)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him ' MIDNIGHT '.. . he didn't seem ticked off in the least. Whew, I got away with that one! Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.' When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckoo-ed three times, then said 'oh sh&%.' Cuckoo-ed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckoo-ed another three times, giggled, cuckoo-ed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

Bike to the Bay 2008

2008-07-03T15:55:00.000-07:00

Well, we survived. In one piece Im not sure how. Bike the Bay kicked my butt this year. I finished 2 hours later then I had planned. But, when the wind is blowing so hard your fastest peddel is only 8 mph you arent going to get very far. The first day we got stuck at the 50 mile marker and the tour was shut down, we were bussed out and bikes loaded on to a truck and we were dropped at the Port Clinton high school where the sun was shining bright. (figures)

the second day the wind made the ride no fun and we all consider quiting a many times that day...in the end finally rolling over the finish line...soaked by the rain or not was totally worth it.

Being team captain has its challenges as well. This year 18 people road the tour and 14 people stayed over night . Trying to keep everyone straight and together is like being a soriety mom. It was fun though dont get me wrong. I do believe the hotel smelled like a retirement comunity on saturday afternoon, Ice hot everywhere!

One day down and all is well...

2008-06-03T04:55:00.000-07:00

I survived the first day. While I came home with a headache like I had been in class for eight hours I still like my new job. As it usually is the first day was a lot to take in. My very organized manager (which is a nice change) had my day planned out for me when I came in. A list of things to accomplish and read. On top of re introducing myself to one program and learning a whole new one.

At the start of the day a picture was taken of me at my desk for the "briefing". I was thinking it was a meeting of some sorts for all the managers or something like that. About 20 minutes later all the girls in my department were talking about me. Apparently a briefing is sent out everyday to brief everyone of the goings ons. So, for the rest of the day everyone knew who I was and had no qualms about introducing themselves. Especially in the lunch room.

It was a good start. maybe I might have to take some aspirin to work today.

#3 on the list of "you might need this"

2008-05-31T19:46:00.000-07:00

For this addition of the list I shed a little light on the fact that during a class I took on investing...I did not pay attention.

Savings Bonds. They make a great gift for Baptisms, graduations, and Birthdays.

After being educated on the different kinds of Bonds you can purchase for the giftee, I have decided everyone and their dogs need one (well, dogs dont have social security numbers so I dont know how that would work)

http://www.savingsbonds.gov/ here is site you may like to look at.

BATH HOUSE SOAPS IS TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM. Check out the soap ladies latest and greatest at http://www.bathhousesoaps.com/

where have you been?

2008-04-29T12:48:00.000-07:00

This past Sunday I went to an event downtown at the docks. Some of you have heard of it.
I have to say its one of the best fundraisers I have been to. We ate some great food, and we tried a variety of wines from all over the world. Not only did I get to dress up and wear something other than sneakers (which came pretty hard on Sunday...the last time I wore a dress was my own wedding) I actually felt like a lady! It's nice getting compliments from people who see you everyday in your average cloths! (Supposedly I clean up pretty well!) After spending a few hours perusing the many restaurants under the American Rent All tents we were called inside to the Navy Bistro's event center and danced the night away to The Bridges. Oh it was fabulous evening and only hope that next year I can include this event in my social calendar!

Ladies and Gentlemen, its Graduation season!

2008-04-24T12:12:00.000-07:00

Its April. Your son or daughter has known their graduation date for at least a year, they have been counting down since christmas. You've known your child was going to graduate from High school the moment they were born. (This is not a trend! MOST kids DO graduate!) Why in the world do you need to call me and yell at me because you failed to plan?
Yes, people book their parties months in advance.
Yes, when you plan a party you need to do it more than a month in advance if you want rental equipment the same weekend the rest of the city does.
NO, I do not have a field in the back of my warehouse that just grows tents that I go harvest when you want one. DO you really need to get an attitude with me because you want to party on a beer budget but get that champagne taste?

YOUR KILLING ME SMALLS!

This is why my writings have been few are far between.
Ladies and Gentlemen its graduation season. If you want a tent for June 7th, tough cookies.

Want a challange?

2008-04-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

Well, with bike to the bay training in full swing I developed a "Challange" for my team. If your interested in challanging yourself or even joining in on the actual challenge....Here ya go! Its edited a little for those of you not doing it for money or with us at the gym.

Body Challenge
April 6th-May 18th 2008

The Body Challenge is a six week contest that I "formulated" to help reach your fitness goals. If you are trying to lose weight, tone up, or just become more aware of yourself and your habits, I believe this challenge will do all that and more! The Body challenge is based on a points system and the honors system. I want this to be fun and competitive. But if you are not into that, you’re only cheating yourself by being untruthful about your points.

Basically earn up to 5 points a day...most points win.

Points
Earn points by doing the following. Remember your goal is to change your body. Weights are recommended to be done 3 times a week. Cardio is a requirement in any healthy life styles but how much you do is up to you!

Cardio
1 point for 30 minutes of outdoor 1 point for 30 minutes of indoor 2 points for a cardio class

FITNESS (up to 5 daily)
Weights:
1 point for 20 minutes of Upper body
1 Point for 20 minutes of Lower Body
1 point for 20 minutes of Core work

Cardio:
1 point for 30 minutes of outdoor
1 point for 30 minutes of indoor
2 points for a cardio class

Food Challenges:
Week 1: 4/6-4/12
Drink half your body weight in ounces every day. (ie: Ann’s weight is 200. Half of her weight is 100. Therefore she must drink 100 ounces of water a day) Keep this documented on your food journal for easy tracking. Earn 1 point for every day you accomplish this goal

Week 2: 4/13-4/19
Stay away from Caffeine. Switch to De-cafe. Challenge your self to stay away from Soda and chocolate or however else you get your fix. For every coffee, soda, or caffeine containing product you consume lose 1 point.

Week 3: 4/20-4/26
Eat your veggies. 3 servings everyday. Earn 1 point for everyday you accomplish this goal.

Week 4: 4/27-5/3
NO FRIED Food. Nothing. Not a chip Not a frie. NOT a chicken nugget. Focus on eating healthy. Cut out that un-needed fat. LOSE 1 point for every meal you consume fried food.

Week 5: 5/4-5/10
Eat your Fruits! 3 servings everyday. Earn 1 Point for everyday you accomplish this goal. (That food journal is starting to get full!)

Week 6: 5/11-5/17
No sweets. Cut out the cookies, ice cream, soda, cakes, muffins, stuff you just really don’t need. If it isn’t naturally occurring sugar like in yogurt, fruit or veggies you don’t need it. Lose 1 point for every sugar filled product you consume.

April Fools!

2008-04-02T07:03:00.000-07:00

In honor of April Fools day, yesterday, myself and a colleague got up extra early and went into work at 6:30 to "get" the manager of our store.

Back story: She collects pigs. She has a ton of pigs of every shape, size and material on her shelves in her office. If you have ever seen a preview of the Simpson's movie you know what I'm talking about when I say "spider pig". Well, we did our own version of spider pig on her office ceiling earlier this year.

Flash forward April 1st 2008:

Here is part of the collection of pigs:

We took all of the pigs our of her office and left a note on her office door and left the door open a crack:

It reads: "Dear Mom, We got sick of watching your office. So, we went to see Spider Pig in action on the big screen. Its a 7:30 showing. You should come!"

Then we took all the pigs out into the warehouse of our building. Set up folding chairs theater style. Set up a projector screen and over head projector. Set the pigs on all the seats and gave them all popcorn. We then attached spider pig to the screen. Turned off all the lights except the over head projector. Hid my car. And then we went and hid ourselves.

The funny thing is when she came in (7:45 she is normally there earlier) she came out into the warehouse to shut the door to the office...the lights weren't on but she saw the chairs and it didn't click. So at that point we just sat there and waited. She still didn't come back out into the warehouse. I had the Karaoke machine cued up to play the theme song to the show "Jack Ass" when she walked out. We decided to turn it on extra loud so she would come out and wonder what was going on. When she finally came out, I was laughing so hard I was crying and couldn't see straight and I'm pretty sure she was too! It was priceless.

Earth Hour

2008-03-28T15:25:00.000-07:00

It started with a question: How can we inspire people to take action on climate change?
The answer: Ask the people of Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour.

On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.
With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off, and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

Do your part!

#2 on the list of things "You Might Need This"

2008-03-25T10:00:00.000-07:00

Everyone needs a photographer friend who actually has time to do just that, photography.

This week John learned some new techniques and spiced up some photo's...

What do you think?

MOST Impressive extra HUGE:

every VOTE counts

2008-03-20T08:21:00.000-07:00

So we are coming up on our "6 month" anniversary. Can you believe its been six months of wedded bliss? Now we are the dorky couple that celebrated our "negative one year anniversary". That is: One year before our big day (exactly on the date) we went to our wedding reception site to see what it would be like. It was raining 42 degrees windy and muddy as all get out. Then we went to dinner.

Needless to say that was not a reflection of our wedding day by far!

So the man I married says to me:
"Do we give each other presents on our 6 month anniversary?"
I give this look as if to say what you want to buy me something?
Hubby continues: "Cause I think i saw some where that the 1 year anniversary is a paper anniversary and I'm pretty sure it said that the 6 month anniversary is electronics."
Now I know where this is going.
Loving Bride: "Electronics, huh?"
Handsome Husband: "yeas, And I do believe this house hold needs a PS3 and some games to go with."
Puzzled Bride: "Did you get a raise that I didn't know about?"

Anyway the 6 month is this Saturday...we'll see if a raise miraculously happens between now and then.

So in Honor of our "6 month anniversary" I have entered a few wedding pictures in a contest for "real brides" on The Knot. (& I would really love to go on a safari some day that's one of my items on my "bucket list" (you know the movie...))

So if your interested or you just want to help a girl out...check out a few pictures I submitted...

Fishy Reviews

2008-03-18T06:05:00.000-07:00

With the Lenten season coming to an end, I thought you should know about the local fish market. I'm not talking about the place down at the water front (usually Seattle) where the guys in waders throw fish around. I'm talking about where to order your fish for lunch & dinner.

Lunch: McDonald's : 2 fat thumbs down
If you like your fish tasteless and full of Tarter sauce go for it. The bun is like rubber and its defiantly not a sandwich to be throwing cheese on! And then when you ask to put Tomato on it what do they do? Charge you 10 cents for a small tomato slice...one measly slice! McDonald's you may have a few good salads, but now that I am a gown up and not into the happy meals...YOU have Failed me.

Arby's: 1 thumb up and 1 down
The fish is crispy yet thin. Yet again the darn sandwich is drenched in Tartar sauce. I don't understand, I asked for a fish sandwich not a TARTAR Sandwich. They have added some shredded lettuce to this one. Nice touch but its messy and never stays on the sandwich! The Bun was warm, which is a plus but it was almost too warm! Helping that lettuce to fall off. Arby's you did better then Micky-D's but I think you should stick to the roast Beef.

Wendy's: 2 thumbs up all the way
Not only does your fish have a name (and not like Nemo or Flounder) "North Atlantic Cod" but it has taste and its looks like there is even fish on the sandwich! The fish is very flavor full but, yet again why must we smoother the fish with Tartar sauce for Pete sake people! Other then that the Red headed lady got it right!

P.S. You should just stay away from fast food anyway. Its called fast for a reason and it usually tastes that way.

Dinner: Shawn's Irish Tavern: Can I barrow your thumb? I Give them 3 thumbs up.
Not only does Shawn's give you a choice of fishes but they also give your choice of preparations. Friday night is defiantly fish night and the city of Maumee and South Toledo knows it! The dinner is huge with your choice of Potato and usually served with a coleslaw and the VOD (vegi of the day). I love my grouper blackened and my perch fried. The Irish men can do it all.

Stella's: I have to barrow thumbs again. This ones a 3 as well.
Plank seared walley with the mash potato fort around is fab. The selection is fresh and defiantly a seasonal plate yet it hasn't lost it flavor and there is no tartar sauce in site...just a nice juicy lemon. Perfect.

Texas Road House: Um can we say 4 thumbs?
OK I ordered fish at a steak house. But hey it was my gift certificate I can do what i want. (pass me a Cowboy margarita too while your at it) Salmon. Do you like salmon? Well on Wednesday nights you will. From the grill to your plate it almost taste freshly caught. (you know its not) Nice portion size and lots of taste!

Dad and Brads walley: Everyone stick your thumbs in!
Granted this is not usually during Lent that we get to eat such a freshly caught meal but it makes you crave the fishy goodness that is lake Erie in the middle of Ohio winters. Nothing beats a family fish fry or just a spare of the moment fish dinner on the grill. I love walley all minus the itty bitty bones that freak Brad out.

Have any fishy suggestions? Let me know.

Happy St Pattys day!

2008-03-17T06:02:00.001-07:00

And Happy Monday! I've been a little behind I guess we need to catch up.....

Lion King is something to be added to my "things everybody needs list" as in a Ticket to see it.
It was a fabulouse show and worth every penny. Next time I will have to pay full price for a ticket so I can sit alittle closer and not with a bunch of little girl scouts :) I think next time I may even dress up. Not that I didnt look presentable. Just felt a little underdressed with my Jeans on.
As for the show, the colors, actors and special effects were all very impressive. Its amazing what a little imagination can do!

No plans for St. Pattys day. We had our "st. Practice day" on saturday. Yes, thats St. Practice day. We get in all of our green gear and party like its that beer drinking day. We usually do it the weekend before...and still manage to go out the next weekend for the actually March 17th. This year it was only the saturday before...it worked out well none the less. Played a little Rock band and then went and closed down our favorite watering hole Shawns Irish Tavern.
Ill have to share some pictures of Jess and I in our great greenness!

Hmmm, what else is happening? Oh yeas, I ran out of gas this morning just as I pulled up to the gate at work. That was very nerve racking. My car did that little cough it does right before it runs out of gas as I was pulling onto River Rd. Thats when my heart starts racing and I start praying "Oh dear Lord, I have to open this morning and lots of people are depending on me to open the door. I cant walk at 6 am on this freezing cold morning." As I coast into the back of the building my car laughed at me, proably saying..."now what cha gonna do?"

Well, Luck of the Irish to you! May you never run out of Gas.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Little Brother!

2008-03-09T14:22:00.000-07:00

This is the cake that was made by Angi for the big 18.

BG stands for Bowling Green State University

and its a construction man for my brothers field.

And here is the inside:

As you can see Eddys slow Churned Cookie dough Ice Cream goes very well with BG colored Cake.

Thanks Angi for all your help!

Broadway here we come!

2008-03-07T07:23:00.000-08:00

Well , Kind of. Not so much New York. Not so much fancy theater. More like just a musical from Broadway. Yeas, I'm talking about non other than the LION KING. Tomorrow afternoon I will be studying the circle of life with all of its colorful Disney goodness.

OH I'm psyched! Did I ever tell you I used to work at Disney World? And I worked half the time at the Lion King show? Yeas, You can say it. "Good Lord, this girls a dork why am I reading her blog?"

Here is how big of a dork I am. Actually I consider myself creatively inclined.

For my Brother's, girlfriend's birthday I gave her a birthday card that I made:

It looks suspiciously like the real ticket Ill give her tomorrow. I'm excited!

Expect a full review tomorrow!

New vegetables discovered

2008-03-06T12:44:00.001-08:00

A new study at my place of employment shows that bread is a vegetable.
This is because: bread is made from wheat and wheat grows in the ground...just like vegetables. And Lemonade Girl Scout cookies are fruits.
Because they are made with a lemon flavoring which of course had to be from a lemon.

But this is only true on Thursdays.

On Fridays food warps its way back in the correct food groups and standings on the food pyramid.
So happy Thursday to those of you who are on a diet. You never know what vegetable you may find on your plate.

By the way this study was conducted by delivery guys at a party rental store.

Brittinee Suprise

2008-03-05T16:26:00.000-08:00

I don't know if you plan your dinners out for the week or if you just wing it and hope that by 8 pm you are full with some kind of meal that either you or someone else has created. I've tried the plan the week out with meals deal. But for some reason it doesn't always work (you know the feeling that you get after a long day and you just don't want to cook). So we go with the plan..."make sure we have food in the house and we'll come up with something". hmmm, it works kinda. Many times we end up with "Brittinee Surprise"...You know when you take what ever you find and make some kind of casserole or goulash out of it. In other words "brittinee surprise" is always a surprise.

So, What Happens when there is basically no food in the house, and no motivation to cook and no money in the bank account? Tonight's dinner.

I am surprised at how well it turned out and recommend it to any one and everyone on the nights you don't want to cook. Its kind of a version of Brittinee surprise and oh i think i can make the picture look better than the one on this recipe .

take one bag of frozen enchiladas and lay in a 13x9 dish
Take some taco meat and spread over the top.
Pour a jar of salsa over this.
To make it pretty and extra tasty pour some ranch dressing over this...(i like to make designs but what ever you want will do)
Sprinkle some cheese on top. and any thing else you might like on your enchiladas that will bake in the oven well.

throw into oven at 375 for 25 minutes.

Wahla!....So the recipe called for enchilada sauce....I didn't have. The salsa and taco meat made a great substitute!

Happy baking!

First edition to the "You might need this" List

2008-03-04T10:21:00.000-08:00

I spent the weekend with some of the areas favorite talents at the Toledo Craftsmans Guilds Craft show at the Lucas County Rec Center. (Maybe Amy can add it to her Fun Things to do in Ohio blog). I helped "the Momma" with her soaps (http://www.bathhousesoaps.com/) and caught up on the latest goings ons in the life of the soap lady and her friends.

Now, I enjoy a good craft show every now and again (especially the Grand Rapids Apple Butter Fest in october) But you know, there are only a few vendors that really stick out in your mind when you go and give you that reason to vist their booth again. It's that talent that makes you wonder why they havent been discovered and going all the way with their "Big Idea" (Yes, Wednesday nights at 10 on CNBC, Im watching).

Take for instance: Sassy Sacks This women has got it all figured out and was a plethera of knowledge for a business person just starting out. Cyndy is such and awesome and talented person. And her Sassy Sacks are some of the best hand made purses I have seen. I'm pretty sure that every fashionista needs one!

The new additon to my purse family

Sassy Sacks hail from southern Ohio and have been around for about 20 years. You can order her bags online and she'll make them to order too!

New National Holiday

2008-02-29T10:30:00.000-08:00

Happy February 29th! You wont hear this again for another 4 years! And it wont be on a friday for a while. Dont you think thats a big deal? We try to keep up with mother nature and miraculousely we get another day in the year!?

Guys like it. Cause if they propose or set their wedding date for this day they only have to worry about remembering it every four years (I dont think that will help them remember any better but hey its the thought that counts).
Did you know a tradition was introduced many centuries ago to allow women to propose to men during a leap year. AKA sadie hawkins day! This privilege of proposing was restricted to leap day in some areas. A man was expected to pay a penalty, such as a gown or money, if he refused a marriage offer from a woman.

H & R Block likes it. One more day of tax season!
Historians like it....one more day of Black History month.

If you are 5 and a quarter leap years old you can have a beer.

I think thats a big deal worth celebrating. I think it should be like a new years but on a bigger scale. We'll make resolutions for the next four years that we wont keep, We'll binge on shrimp cocktail, chex mix and little smokies. At midnight we can watch the ball drop in NYC but it needs to be 4 times the size it is for new years. Confetti and noisemakers every where! And since its Girl Scout cookie time Im going to pass out trays of cookies with the champagne toast!

Just imagine... We're given an extra day and we waste it.

Recovering from the night before.

"is a 64" table 8' ?"......

2008-02-28T12:12:00.000-08:00

I've lived in this town my whole life. (minus the 6 month spree of college ridiculous...but that's a story for another show)
I've held over 10 different jobs (while holding at least one steady job)
I've met people from all walks of life (its amazing who you'll meet here).
I'm not very good at math...just hand me a calculator and ill tell you what you want.
I am not even that smart ...just smarter then your average blond.

I work at a party rental store. I know how to throw a party. I've met people with all different ideas on how to throw a party, all kinds of budgets for me to do as i wish with, and all kinds of people who have no clue what their doing but just want me to tell them whats right. I can do that.

Maybe it was the full moon last week or maybe it was just the snow storm that have thrown people out of whack but I have received some of the most ridiculous questions ever in my job.
This past Tuesday tops them all....

Phone rings.
Potential Client (PC) says: " Hi, I'm just calling to make sure I'm correct in my thinking here."
Me: " Okay what may I help you with?"
PC " Is a 64 inch round table 8 foot?"
