It's snowing!!!

Anyone want to clean off my car??

coffee thought...

this is my cup of coffee as i am about to enjoy...

no other thoughts needed

that's all...

msc housekeeping items

#1-continuation from previous post (waiting for the water to drain) so plumber dude came, saw, plummed & knocked out a piece of wall & replaced another piece of pipe and snaked his way to the other apartment and FINALLY we had a clear drain. it has been 1 week since said incident and so far so good. ~(on another note did purchase 3 boot boxes just in case)
#2-also last Friday had the office Christmas party & the fact that I (with help of course) did amazingly creative,witty and fun things to make it a success and some people insist on being 'Debbie downer' really ruined my mood. basically shitted on all the efforts. whatever thats the end of that
#3-Saturday as u can see from previous post was an extravaganza of window shopping, bear shopping & movie watching (so much for cleaning my house).
#4- this is the final 4 days of work in 2009. just got to make it work
#5-Dion is home from ATL for the break & that lifts grandmas spirit. we have the annual bowling beat down on 12/28/08..last time mom was there
(apparently this turned into a to-do list or an is doing list or an on-going list...)
#6- bekas b-day was 12/16 and she turned the big 30 (yay!) this Saturday is supposed to be a smashing shindig only beks can do (w/ jai & mo of course) ~ I am excited & scared all at the same time (all the insecurities are surfacing again) whatever we keep it moving
#7- my dinner party on 12/27. on the positive side i have a menu. on the negative side i don't have a spic&span clean house nor funds to purchase said food items. this will be creative
#8-this holiday time is especially hard and i am confused as to if i am numb to my emotions or have really steeled myself & am now devoid of true emotion? like i think i am truly faking it to myself
#9- my godson turns 21 Saturday. from 9 days old to a grown person...wow. yesterday it snowed.

and finally

#10-the year is ending. still don't know how to feel.

yeah I'll try to get it together soon.....

Happiness is build-a-bear

if you have never had the experience to actually build-a-bear... it is a definite "must do" as the place itself is the epitome of happiness for some folks (as experienced by one of my pals TRS)

(can you see the smile??? Oh and check out the dude behind her...he'll make me smile!)

<--this bear is too sexy for his own good

more updates to come....

as I wait for the water to drain

i am sitting on my floor in my apartment WAITING for the plumber as another flood has happened in my kitchen.
oh didn't i mention?
couple of months ago, came home to the lovely sounds of water overflowing from my sink overflowed into my closet (which is located in the kitchen). yeah several buckets of water later & 3 ruined pairs of boots later (you know i am regretting NOT getting them boot boxes from The Container Store -- next time I will listen to my inner Diva) the plumber came and changed some pipe & viola ok-ness for about 2 months.
WELL fast forward.. and lo and behold it is happening again.
WHY??? WTF?
I am NOT throwing food down the drain in my house or large chunks of anything- Hell the last meal I cooked was Thanksgiving dinner... yeah the woman upstairs has a washing machine (illegal) and no strainer on her sink (meaning every article of food coming from her sink goes down there and clogs up the freakin thing which backs up my sink.)
Yes this is what it is like living in an old apartment building in NYC.
more details soon as I now have to let plumber dude in...
