Beth’s Gmail status = stevie b/expose/lisa lisa on the pandora
1:49 PM me: so many flashbacks happening at once is making me dizzy
1:50 PM Elizabeth: are you on rollerskates on any of these flashbacks?
it’s ok if you’re not
1:51 PM me: no, I’m in okinawa in a drunken state
Elizabeth: that’s kind of like being on rollerskates, right?
me: sort of – I was driving during some of them. So like really, really big motorized skates
1:52 PM Elizabeth: i just created this pandora station, and i’m wondering why it’s taken me so long to do such a thing.
me: I have several – Love pandora!
1:53 PM Elizabeth: i start out with one or two artists, and i start to add things and the stations never end up what i intend them to.
it’s quite an artform, creating the pandora stations.
me: you could be a pandora station consultant and hire yourself out on Craig’s list
1:54 PM Elizabeth: you are full of excellent ideas.
me: just have no ambition to do any of them
but I give them freely
1:55 PM Elizabeth: i want to live in a world where people pay me money to tell them that it is pointless to create a seperate new order and depeche mode station.
me: we do – people will pay you for anything!
if you want, you could do a short video tutorial and we’ll include it in the next Off Topic
which will be taped on Friday 1/22
1:56 PM Elizabeth: i have terrible follow through too. i’d say that i will, but in all actuality it won’t get done
me: we’re a match made in purgatory
that’s the place where you just hang around, right?
1:58 PM Elizabeth: i’m not catholic, nor have i ever been. so i think that’s what purgatory is…but i don’t know. i think that sounds wonderful. i would like to not make a decision for eternity.
me: now that would be heaven.
1:59 PM Elizabeth: we sound like a comedy routine
2:00 PM me: we could publish our chats
2:01 PM that doesn’t seem like too much work
2:02 PM Elizabeth: i wonder if the domain name www.cheriandbethtalkaboutstuff.com is taken?
2:04 PM me: I could put it on c-spot.
And now, another installment of Cheri and Beth Talk about Stuff…
2:05 PM Elizabeth: then we’d have to talk more often, seeings that we’d definitely have a following of rabid fans eager to hang on our every clever word.
me: there’s a lot of pressure involved.
2:06 PM I don’t know if either of us is up to that type of comittment.
should I post this one and see where it takes us?
I’ve been looking for a reason to keep c-spot up and running.
2:07 PM Elizabeth: yeah. post it. and if you have any of our previous chats that you deem to be hilarious, post those too.
me: I’ll take a peek.
I’v got a good feeling about this year. Not sure why, really. Maybe I’m feeling pretty good in general and am projecting. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the fact that I’ve been off of work for a week and still have the weekend coming.
Erin and I were chatting the other day, she had this week off, too. She commented that those people who say that they would never be happy not working were full of shit. I wholeheartedly agree. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time than reading, relaxing, taking care of my family, volunteering where and when I like, and just having time to think and to be.
Maybe one of us will buy a lottery ticket or two and get lucky. I really don’t want to wait until I retire. While time does go by quickly, I don’t want to wait that long. And since all of the non-work related hobbies I have won’t produce any money, I won’t have much luck there, either. Although, my google ads on the various blogspot sites I run have earned me a whopping two cents the last couple of days of 2009 so maybe there’s hope yet! Except whatever I get from that is going to Chuck for his work on a new site we’re working on. Which will also not bring in any money. Damn! I need more profitable hobbies!
Time to start entering all my Magic: The Gathering trading cards into a database and find out if they’re worth enough to support the family. Wish me luck!
Just got back from the wedding and we had a good time. There ceremony was great – short, sweet, and funny. I don’t know a lot of people who could pull off readings of Dr. Seuss and final vows by Shel Silverstein, but Beth and Nic could. We laughed, we cried…
We had fun getting ready for the event, too. Micah was easy as can be. Got him in a plain white T, black high-top Cons (to match mine, of course,) and greased his hair back. Oh, and a red “MOM” tattoo on his left bicep. I donned a plain black T, slicked back my hair, and received a red heart tattoo with “TJ” in the middle on my right bicep. My black leather biker jacket finished the look. TJ, on the other hand, was femtastic. She walked into the bathroom where Micah and I were getting ready and our son takes one look at her and says “Mommy’s going to the party as a princess!” And she certainly looked like a beautiful pink poodle skirt wearing princess with her white ankle socks and low-top pink Converse sneakers. She had a sheer black scarf, courtesy of my mom, and my Marine Corps ring around her neck on a black cord. After putting her long hair back in a high ponytail with a pink holder and a couple of delicate flower barrettes, she looked like she was ready to go to the hop.
Of course our camera was dead so we didn’t get any pictures. We’ll have to see if anyone snapped any of the Fuller Family. If so, I’ll share.
I hope everyone has a safe and hella fun halloween! Bwahahahahahaha
