taxi

most hilarious taxi ride, maybe ever. well, probably ever ... i don't recall ever getting a marriage proposal in one before ... so, the taxi picked me up in front of Tiffany ... after I told him where I was headed, he asked me where I'm from, blah, blah, blah. I told him Los Angeles and he asked what I did there and I answered, work. he said that because I know he's a cab driver I should tell him my profession. I left it at a vp of sales ... he then decided that I couldn't be married because american men wouldn't propose to such an important woman, but that he would love to be married to me and how about it? ... I'm still laughing.

Lady Gaga tomorrow!!! "My religion is you."

so, sid's grandparents (we think) let the cat out of the bag about the potential move to the east coast. and i really need to reiterate POTENTIAL ... nothing has been decided. it's just something that is being explored. which is why sid was left out of the loop ... there is no point in advising an almost 10 year old of something major that MIGHT happen ... but, apparently, my opinion was not shared.

she is beside herself, but she won't say anything to me directly about it. however, her mom did tell me that she demanded to know whether or not i've actually interviewed for the position. she wanted to know because she thought it might be a good idea for she and her mom to slip something into my food before the interview that would make me throw up during said interview so that they wouldn't pick me. nice. bodily harm.

so of course, sid knowing makes this process all the more difficult. i am so over talking about it. seriously.

on a side note, sid did ask me today if we could still go to paris when she's a little older ... no matter where i happen to be living. so cute ... i reminded her that we've been talking about that trip since she was a wee little girl and that as soon as her mom gives us the go-ahead, that we're outta here. :-) that made her happy. i did tell her that she needs to get a passport ASAP so we're prepared. :-)

I like the old Victoria way better than the new one in Eclipse. Not a Howard family fan.

I'm in the process of evaluating my wolfpack. Some wolves are out, others are in.

I loathe fireworks.

pet or PEOPLE accidents?

nice merchandising

Promotion?
Higher education?
East Coast.

Love our nicknames ... Miss Sophia calls me JuJu and Joe "Juncle.".

Sophia is absolutely Kim's daughter! She can sleep anywhere ... Under any circumstance ... And FOREVER! I have been trying to wake Miss Sophia for 30 minutes ... Maybe bathtime will be better for all involved if I bathe her while she's sleeping?????

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey,
butane in my veins so I'm out to get the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs, spraypaint the vegetables,
dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose,
kill the headlights and put it in neutral,
stockcar flaming with a loser in the cruise control,
baby's in Reno with the vitamin D,
got a couple of couches, sleep on the love seat,
someone came sayin' I'm a saint (I'm insane)
to complain about a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt,
don't believe everything that you breathe,
you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve,
so shave your face with some mace in the dark,
saving all your food stamps for burning down the trailer park,yo, cut it

Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me,
double barrel buckshot,
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me,
forces of evil on a bozo nightmare,
ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
cause one's got a weasel and others got a flag,
one's on the pole, shove the other in the bag,
with the rerun shows and cocaine nose job,
the daytime crap of the folk singers slop,
he hung himself with a guitar string,
a slab of turkey neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing,
I can't write if ya' can't relate,
trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate,
and my time is a piece of wax, fallen on a termite, who's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
get crazy with the cheez-wiz,
Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me
drive, by, body pierce
yo bring it on down

Sometimes I think
What I need is a you intervention, yeah

I need to vent about the sheer madness of me not being in chicago next week for the candy show. It's been a lifelong dream to go ... Just once, I also missed the stationery show in NYC this week. It is going to take an awesome conference this weekend in scottsdale to make up for this serious disappointment. Dinner at mastro's and sprinkles cupcakes will be a good start ...

Rod Stewart's cover of Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back" is absolutely divine.

I am a pot stirrer.
And I love it.

Kim called last night, in hysterics, because Grandma called her asking if she knew to what "the thunder from down under" refers. Kim weenied out and didn't tell her.

So, of course, I had to call Grandma and make sure she knew what it was ... Unfortunately, I was too late!!!!! She asked my uncle.

I am terribly disappointed that I didn't get to explain it to Grandma.

The music's on and I'm dancing
I'm normally in the corner just standing
I'm feeling unusual
I don't care cause this is my night

I hate iTunes. I NEVER bought anything from them ... Until GLEE. Now I can't stop ... iTunes gets them first. Seriously. Do I not have any convictions??
