Happy Birthday to me

Whew, almost missed my post. Ok, today's my birthday, I'm 46 hmmm can't think of anything rhymes with 46...it's kind of an odd age. I slept late which everyone should do on their b'day. I drank lots of coffee this morning. Met MJ for lunch, Thank You!

I curled at 5 pm and we won tonight! What a surprise! The team we played was/is much better than we are but they did not play so well and we did, YAY! Had several friends come up to the club tonight to help celebrate my b'day, that was really nice. Thanks!

That's about it! I had many other things floating around my head to write about today, but the beer is getting in the way so I'll write about them another day.

Peace, and thanks again to everyone for coming out for my b'day.

love ya!

HOME HAZARD

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer deaths among nonsmokers in America, claiming 20,000 lives each year.

Because you can't see, smell or taste radon, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has declared January as Radon Action Month to encourage Americans to test their homes for radon - the only way to know if there is a harmful level of the gas in your home. 

Getting a radon Test Kit is easy. Most home improvement and hardware stores carry them at inexpensive prices and many state health departments give them out free of charge. 

For more information about radon, you can go to the EPA's website.

Whiskey and Honey

I'm still without a voice, some might say that's good thing but I'm not very happy about it. I have several phone calls I need to make and I cannot make them. Example:

The bug guy came over the other day and I was not here when he arrived so he only sprayed the outside of the house and now I have a bill for it. I want them to come back and do the inside before I pay the bill, the cost is the same, so I want the full meal deal. I don't have a voice so I can't call. I'm sure they will want their payment but I'm not sending any money until they come back and finish the inside. Everyone knows I have bug issues, they simply do NOT belong in a person's house. Outside is fine, in the garden is fine, in my house NO way!

Speaking of bugs, I stayed home from work today in hopes of fighting this virus or whatever it is. I spent the entire day in the house, doing chores, laundry, dishes, cleaning, YUCK! not fun. I also shaved my head today, I just could not stand my hair any longer. it was waaaaay too poofy. We lesbians have a code we must honor when it comes to hair. We may not make many fashion statements but we do have hair rules. No lesbian in her right mind will be seen with poofy hair, it just ain't right.

I tried to talk with Val today as we were supposed to go xcountry skiing tonight, she did not recognize my voice when I called. She and Tara decided not to go and she said when she went skiing last week when she had the same thing as I have now that the cold air really bothered her throat. I reminded her that it is quite likely that she and/or Tara gave this cold to me and I am placing the blame squarely upon their shoulders. I wimped out of going skiing myself tonight. Coughing and skiing just don't seem to go together.

Margeaux, Loafy and I have decided we are going to car pool it out to Denver for the US Olympic Curling tryouts. That should be a super fun time. I can just imagine the chaos created when Margeaux, Loafy and I get in one car together. Good God! Look out Denver! We are volunteering to work the event so that we can get in for free, cheap bastards that we are. Right now we are pooling our friend resources to find free places to stay. We're also hoping to get a hook up in Breckenridge as a side trip.

Oh yeah, whiskey and honey, Margeaux suggested that I try whiskey and honey for my throat. The only whiskey I have in the house is Dr. McGillicuddy's Fireball, it's a cinnamon flavored whiskey. I don't have any honey left as I finished it off when I made the apricot bars over the holidays. So I'm having a shot, or three of the Doctor. It can't hurt, right?

Oops, I've already messed up my New Year's Resolution, I'll just have to post twice today. In my world it's still Tuesday but in reality it's already after midnight thereby making it Wednesday. Oh well, it was a super busy day. 

I woke up this morning around 0300 with a coughing fit and could not get back to sleep. At about 0345 I gave up and went out to the living room; I thought maybe if I sat up on the couch or chair I could doze off. Nope, no such luck. 

I went into work at 0600 and did not get out until after 1500. I was called into a meeting at 1400 and they just would not stop talking, I went into overtime pay at 1430 so I thought fine, keep on talking. On my way home from work there was a nasty car wreck on the Kellogg bridge which messed up traffic. It took me nearly 20 minutes to get over the bridge. I finally got home around 1600. I had to hurry up and feed Lash, let him out for a potty break and get back out the door at 1630 to meet Rhory for dinner at the Big Bowl in Rosedale.  I got to the restaurant at 1700, Rhory arrived shortly afterwards. We had a fantastic dinner. Vegetable pot stickers, curry vegetables with tofu and a couple Fat Tire beers. Yummy! After dinner we did a bit of shopping, well Rhory did some shopping I just tagged along with. We parted ways, Rhory went home and I headed to Walgreens for some cold medication. I stopped home to give Lash another potty break and change into my curling clothes. I was back out the door by about 2015, stopped for gas and got to the club about 2040. 

Our game tonight was pretty good. I thought for a while that we were in trouble; they had scored 4 points in the 3rd end. But in the 6th end we came back and scored 4 points which put us ahead by one. They scored 2 in the 7th end giving us the hammer for the 8th end. We were able to put two rocks in the house and keep them there, we won the game by 1 point! I have to say this was by far one of the longest games I have played. For whatever reason it was really slow, we did not finish until about 2315. I'm glad I don't have to work in the morning. I took the day off. 

I just finished my Alka Seltzer night time cold medication so I am off to bed.
