More Gold Box Misses

Earlier today as I purchased my new Sony DSC-P71 Cyber-Shot 3MP Digital Camera, I was treated to these Amazon.com Gold Box Offers.

.: Time [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION]: not really interested, but this is closer to hitting the mark than most of my Gold Box offers have been!

.: Hamilton Beach 49291 Aroma Express 12-Cup Coffeemaker, White: I don't drink coffee and Steven just won a $160 Capresso MT500 coffee maker. Definitely don't need this.

.: Strange, but I got a "We just ran out of this item" message. Way to waste one of my offers.

.: Panasonic ES8003W Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Linear Shaver with 3D: I guess Steven might like this, but why do they offer me, a female who's never bought any men's products from Amazon, a shaver?

.: Opus 25153 Expeditions Copper Hummingbird Feeder: I guess I could hang this on the porch, but since I live in a condo and have no plants accessible to hummingbirds, not very useful!

Sunday Op-Ed

Time for Chris's Sunday Op-Ed!

1. Police
Who is someone that has a job I can't imagine having and someone who deserves incredible respect? I have such admiration and respect for policemen and women who, every day, go out and put their lives on the line so that we can be safer. If you happen to be a polie officer, thank you for all that you do.

2. Alcohol
What is something that I look forward to having on the weekend? A blender of raspberry piña coladas, a couple of shots of vanilla vodka, or a really good margarita definitely contributes to having a nice buzz and a great night.

3. Boobs
What is something of mine that I totally love? I have big boobs and I love them. They rock. :-)

Unveiling - Picture Fish!

After being inspired by all of the great photologs that I've seen and along with help from the wonderful Kristine, I am proud to unveil Picture Fish - Images From The Neurotic Fishbowl, my own photoblog! There's an issue with row alignment right now, but I hope to have that fixed pretty soon and didn't want to delay showing it to the world any longer. There are only pictures from the last trip to Vegas that Steven and I took, but you never know what else I might throw in there. Go take a look and enjoy the pictures!

Blogs and Pets

It seems like most bloggers have pets and like to talk about them, post their pictures, whatever. Christine M. has created a site for people to share their pet's pictures - Blogs & Pets. I sent in some pictures of my fish and joined the webring. If you've got pets, why not go visit and join up?

Saturday Scruples

Time for Phoxxe's Saturday Scruples!

1. A land settlement gives First nation people thousands of square miles and millions of dollars. Someone has a petition opposing any giveaway. Do you sign it? Probably not. Restitutions are not necessarily a bad thing. I guess it would depend on the terms of the settlement.

2. At the beginning of a job interview the owner remarks: "You're the first white face I've seen all day." Later when you're offered the job, do you take it? I would take the job if I was incredibly broke, out of work, and needed the money, but I would be looking for another one while I worked there. If I wasn't broke and out of work, I wouldn't take it and I would probably report the guy. I could never work for someone who's a racist.

3. You find a crisp $20 folded on the floor of a small store. Two other customers are in the store. Do you pocket the bill? Probably. No idea how long it's been there and if those two people even dropped it. If one of them started looking around for something, though, I would see if it was the money and give it to them if it was.

More Gold Box Misses

More misses in the Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today. I don't have a yard since I live in a condo, so birdbaths aren't really very useful to me. I wonder why I got a filter and an ultrasonic pest repellent today. Seems odd things just to offer people. The stainless steel double wheel pizza cutter is kind of cool (Steven makes homemade pizza, so we could use this), but $16 sounds a little high for a pizza cutter. Oh well. I'll just pass on them all. When am I going to get something cool like a book, video game, or foot spa like Christine got?

.: Sabatier Precision Kitchen Shears

.: Lentek PR10C Ultrasonic Pest Repeller

.: Opus 25130 Expeditions Copper Lilypad Birdbath

.: Hamilton Beach 04255 TrueAir Plug-Mount Odor Eliminator with Two Bonus Filters

Friday Five!

And now, time for today's Friday Five!

When was the last time I...

1. ...sent a handwritten letter? When I was going through a bad break-up in 1996, I wrote long letters to my friend John to help me get back on my feet and heal. They helped a lot. I have sent lots of cards with handwritten notes, though, some just a few months ago.

2. ...baked something from scratch or made something by hand? Um, never for the baking from scratch since I can't cook to save my life. As for making something by hand, I can't remember.

3. ...camped in a tent? Never. I am not an outdoors person.

4. ...volunteered your time to church, school, or community? Sadly, probably never.

5. ...helped a stranger? If you count things like charity, a few months ago I gave some money to Heifer International, probably my favorite charity.

Thursday Thumb-Twiddler

It's time for Dave's Thursday Thumb-Twiddler!

1. Would you rather die peacefully among friends at 50, or painfully and alone at 80? Assume that most of those thirty years would be "good" ones. That's kind of tough. Assuming that most of the thirty years in between would be good, I would say at 80.

2. Your teen arrives home one night with a big dent in his car fender. You find out the next day there was a hit-and-run in the neighborhood. Would you try to find out if your kid was involved? If you found out s/he was, would you notify the authorities? What if there was a death from the hit-and-run? I think I would have to. Otherwise the possibility that they were involved would hang over everything else for the rest of your life. Reporting them to the police, however, would be very difficult to do. I guess I might, though.

3. What would the title of your autobiography be (not including your name)? Easy. The Neurotic Fishbowl That Is My Life.

Threesome: The Sun--Enjoy the sun? What's your favorite outdoor activity? I'm not much of an outdoors person, so I guess driving around on a nice day with the top down on my Miata.

Thoughts of Steven Out of the Blue

For no reason today, I flashed back to when Steven and I first started dating. At the time, I was the secretary at the small actuarial firm where he was assistant vice president (he's a VP now). We started dating about six weeks after we met, but we kept it secret from every there except his best friend, another VP. I remembered today how we would end up in the library or the copy room and he would be giving me something to work on - a loan package, a letter to type, whatever. We kept it very professional in the office and I would look into his eyes and think, "Did I dream us up? Are we really together?" It was so strange being so close to someone, but yet having to keep that distance at the office. I don't know what really made me think of it today.

Time for Christine's This-or-That Tuesday:

  • Spam...the lunch meat. Yes or no?
  • Blah! No way!

  • The traffic light is green as you approach, but by the time you get there, it has turned yellow. Stop or go-go-go?
  • Depends, but more than likely go-go-go. If you don't go in Texas, you'll get rear-ended.

  • You are taking a trip...you have to decide whether to fly or take some sort of ground transportation. High or low?
  • High.

  • Someone asks you a question about why something is, and you don't know the answer. Try to find out *Why* or just say *I don't know*?
  • Usually I try and find out why.

  • You are at the mall, and you spot someone who tortured you when you were in high school. Hello or goodbye?
  • Probably goodbye. Why bother talking to them now?

Monday Mission 2.25

Here's PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.25:

1. Do you wear glasses/contact lenses? If so would you consider going through Lasik surgery? (Or if you already have, please tell us about it)
I wear contact lenses for the majority of the time and glasses at night or on the weekends around the house. I will have Lasik (or some similar surgery) by the time I am thirty. I hate wearing contact lenses and would love to wake up and be able to see.

2. Did you ever have to wear braces? How are your teeth? (any cavities, any pulled teeth, root canals, etc.)
I've never worn braces, though I think I may have to in the future. My bottom teeth are a little crooked, so I am planning on visiting a dentist this year to see about getting them straightened and whitened. I have about eight fillings.

3. What (if any) recent movies have moved you emotionally? Which one and how so?
Lately, I can't really think of any that have. That's sad, huh?

4. I visited my dear Mema in the managed care facility Sunday and while she is doing well, I was sad for her. Living out your final days/years someplace like that seems so lonely to me. Would you rather live the remainder of your golden years in a rest home, or pass away before it came to that?
Definitely pass away.

5. Sometimes, but not nearly often enough, I will just stop and marvel at the amazing planet on which we live. The eco-system, life and death, nature, the perfect balance that keeps us alive, the universe, it can all be mind-boggling if you let your mind get carried away. What natural creation or phenomenon just flat-out leaves you with a sense of wonder?
A few weeks ago I got to see a double rainbow. It was so beautiful. I also love how sunlight looks coming through clouds. It always makes me think of the divine.

6. Have you ever been in a fist fight or a situation where you had to get physically violent with someone else? How did that come about? Any consequences?
Aside from stuff with my brother when I was younger, not really.

7. Many times I look back in hindsight and think of how I should have handled a situation. Are there any recent happenings that you wish you would have handled differently? What happened and what do you wish you'd done?
Nothing that really comes to mind recently that I wish I would have done differently.

BONUS: How far away can you go, and still be dancing with me?
You know, this sounds really perverse.

Sunday Op-Ed

Time for Chris's Sunday Op-Ed!

1. Doughnuts
What is something that I love to have for breakfast even though it's really bad for me? I love Shipley Do-Nuts more than any other brand. My favorites are their chocolate filled, their chocolate covered with nuts, and their plain glazed. Yummy.

2. Coffee
What is something that I find disgusting and I can't even imagine why people like it? I hate how coffee tastes and smells. The only thing remotely okay about coffee is the way the beans smell.

3. Summer
What is something that I used to love as a kid, but don't like as much anymore? Now during summertime, I wish it was the fall so all the damn kids would be in school and not clogging the mall, the movies, restaurants, etc. that I go to. Plus, it's just so hot.

Eight From The Eighties

Here's Deb's Eight From The Eighties!

1) Is it going to be a cruel summer? Well, Houston summers are, by the very definition, cruel summers.

2) Are you where the heat is on? Yes, though after coming back from Arizona a few weeks ago, Houston seems fine!

3) How do you sleep while your beds are burning? Not very well. Luckily, though, I am one of those people that don't get hot too often.

4) I get delirious, whenever... I've stayed up too late at work. Right, Christine?

5) Everytime you go away, you... worry that I forgot something at home.

6) What happens in your wildest dreams? Usually I'm either killing someone or being chased by someone that wants to kill me. Pleasant, huh?

7) Are you an angel of the morning? Hell no. I hate mornings.

8) Tell me, tell me, tell me how to be a millionaire? I wish I knew! Hopefully, by making a decent salary and saving I'll accomplish it!

Kymberlie Is...

I had meant to do this a few days ago, but am just now getting around to playing the "Kymberlie is" game. If you haven't seen this before, basically what you do is go type "X is" (where X is your name) in Google and see what the results are. Mine are as follows:

.: Kymberlie is looking for volunteers to do research and report up-to-date information on individual states for questions such as 1) the procedure followed in bite cases (i.e: whether the ferret is quarantined or "killed and tested"), 2) the number of ferrets that have been killed and tested for rabies in the past three years, and how many tested positive; and 3) which animal control/humane societies are "ferret friendly" and will take in stray ferrets without automatically euthanizing them.
.: Kymberlie is also celebrating the ticking over of another year on this planet. (Yes, this was actually about me!)
.: Kymberlie is watching - she loves Sting.
.: Kymberlie is taking some well deserved time away. (Posted in my own blog by Promo.)
.: Kymberlie is right about this being on Jesus Christ Superstar, which I actually know most of because we had the record when we were growing up.
.: Kymberlie is inspired by the Muse Calliope. (This is my old GeoCities page!)
.: Kymberlie is from Spring, Texas.
.: Kymberlie is going to the show at noon (she took the day off just to see it!) so I just couldn't stand it. (Posted by Christine about me going to see Harry Potter.)

Sometimes it pays off having an unusually spelled name since every one of these entries actually was about me (except the one about ferret rescue). I bet I am the only blogger able to say that!

Saturday Scruples

Time for Phoxxe's Saturday Scruples!

1. You're starting a new restaurant. Video Lottery Terminals (VLT's) would bring in needed cash. Do you install them? I guess it would depend. Would they clash too much with the type of restaurant I was trying to make? VLTs don't exactly go with a classy restaurant. If not, I guess I might, though they would be illegal in Texas. ;-)

2. You're a personal trainer. You start an affair with a client who thinks the workouts now should be free. Do you insist on payment? If I really liked the person and wanted to continue the relationship and this was going to be a major point of contention, no. Otherwise, I probably would.

3. Your spouse would be upset if she knew you forgot the asthma kit when you took baby to the park. Do you lie to avoid a fight? Yes, if she doesn't know and nothing bad happened, why bring it up?

4. How many times have you moved in your life? I moved with my parents to the house they still live in when I was about six or so and then I moved in with Steven (officially) about two years ago or so.

Thursday Thumb-Twiddler

Since I like memes (I know; shoot me), I thought I would try out Dave's Thursday Thumb-Twiddler.

1. You receive notification of jury duty. Do you go willingly, or do you try and find some way to beg off (or get yourself disqualified)? What if you were told that the case you were being impaneled for might go on for months? I used to get them while I was in school which automatically lets you skip it. The one other time I got called I totally forgot about it and found the card months later. Personally, I would try to beg off, though I should do my civic duty and go.

2. Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? Considering how much peace I lack in my life, I just might. Man, oh man, would it be tough to hold out for a year, though!

3. What's the most violent television show you watch? What about the most sexually graphic? Hmmm. I don't really watch a lot of violent television shows. I guess I'd have to say 24 or maybe Witchblade. It's usually movies that are the most violent of the two. Sexually graphic would probably be Sex in the City or the occasional Real Sex episodes I catch.

Thursday Threesome

Time for Deb's Thursday Threesome!

Onesome. Do a Little Dance. Everyone loves to watch a good dancer, so tell us your all time favorite movie dance scene and why. When Gene Kelly sings and dances in the rain in "Singin' in the Rain." I feel in love with that movie the first time I saw it and every time I watch him splashing in puddles and dancing so freely it makes me cry.

Twosome. Make a Little Love...Spill it! What do you do to make the night romantic for that certain someone? Dim the lights, pour the drinks, and put some music on, something sexy like Maxwell is always a good start!

Threesome. Get Down Tonight! Party it up, Getting your Groove on, or whatever you call it, everyone has a different style that they consider a good time. Let us in on what yours is. Me, Steven, and some friends out for dancing (either club style or two stepping) works for me!

So, Maybe My List Won't Get Done

I was struck by inspiration on the way home from work and called Christine, whom I had just left at the office, and invited her to go have dinner with me at Lupe Tortilla's, the absolute best fajitas in town (and this is Houston, so that's saying a lot). She's on her way over now and should be here soon, so I may not do as much on that To Do List and I had wanted to. Oh, well! There's always tomorrow!

We Have A Winner!

I was going to mention this last night and got distracted, but the new M&M's color has been decided and it's purple (the color I voted for, btw). They have a cool map on their site to let you see how countries voted. Poor pink hardly swept any countries at all!
