Pig spleens predict a nasty winter

Oh Mark Sundluv, I LOVE that you posted this article on Facebook today. And we thought Sheridan, NY was a small town.

Schulz: Pig spleens predict a nasty winter

RURAL PINGREE, N.D. — It may not be the most hygienic of weather-predicting methods, but one Jamestown man says he’s never been wrong.

Norbert Schulz uses the width and height of pig spleens to determine if the up-coming winter will be mild and dry or cold and snowy. His outlook this year: buy a new shovel.

“It is a bad winter,” he said. “It’s going to turn real nasty.”

Extreme Makeover Buffalo!

Extreme Makeover’s Green Deconstruction

With TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” in town, a group of volunteers took apart a West Side family’s home. It will be replaced by a beautiful new home this week.

Extreme Makeover’ comes knocking for Buffalo family

Tis also VERY COOL that Buffalo Reuse is salvaging pieces of this home. Most Extreme Makeover homes end up in landfills. YAY BUFFALO and Buffalo ReUse!

PLUS RUMOUR HAS IT that Buffalo has provided largest group of volunteers ever in the history of the show!

20 Years

Berlin celebrates demise of Wall

I do recall this on the news 20 years ago. I remember thinking my dad should have still been around to see this…he passed in September the same year and was stationed in Germany during his time in the Army.

I WAS JUST STARTING TO FEEL BETTER!!!

Michael Vick to Buffalo?

“But I think a dark horse is Buffalo. They talked originally. There was some communication there. I think that could be a good spot.”

From my dear friend Craig in Boston who is trying to make me throw up.

Hurry down the chimney tonight… ;)

Not my swine flu

Um, this Swine Flu looks almost cute. Not “knock you on your ass with a fever for 7 days. ” I want to hug it.

Out and about!

Wooooooo! Feeling better! Doctor told me I can *go back to work* on Monday.

So…I stepped out last night, for the first time in two weeks.

Even better, it was the SABRES game (box seats, thank you Buffalo News and BFF.) WITH THREE MEN from Philly. Which proved to be a fun (fun as in harassing fun) time until you know, the Sabres stopped playing hockey and let the Flyers win. Perhaps it was my fault for wearing a Sabres hat belonging to a Flyers fan that night?

Oh well. Life goes on.

Did I mention the free beer and food?

And believe it or not. I mean I don’t want to ruin the reputation of those evil Philly fans… but the boys were REALLY WELL BEHAVED. I mean without the glimpses of orange, it was hard to tell at all that they were the mortal enemy.

Then again, we were sitting in the Buffalo News box…and look at the cute, innocent faces on those handsome single men (even if they are Philly fans!) Harmless right? Ah, boys.

Fun times. Stepping out in style. Come back and see us real soon Hunter Vegan and Don. (I never did come up with a name for Don…next time. Don, I promise.) Still waiting to meet Snuffy…

One of these days I’m gonna have to *gasp* pay for seats somewhere not in the Box or Club Level. (Oh, GOD am I becoming a hockey fan?) I’m pretty spoiled thus far with my visits to the HSBC Arena. Two games in a box and two games in Club Seats.

The perks of knowing people and working for a non-profit with cool Board Members. It’s not just the rich salary folks. Hahahahahahha. And seriously? Who else gets to say their boss invited them out to a hockey game in  box seats after being out sick for two weeks? I’m damn lucky and yes, I know it.

WINDOW(S) Shopping

Computer WINDOWS that is…

Ok. Someone confirm that it is OK for me to love the Fair Isle Sweaters.

And even MAYBE the adorable snowflake sweaters…

But under no circumstance, unless I am a 1st grade teacher should I think about a penguin sweater…nyah, it’s not even that cute.

HOWEVER. What about the FAIR ISLE PENGUIN SNOWFLAKE SWEATER?

AHHHH! I want despite knowing better!!!! OH MY GOD IT’S SO CUTE!

I was one lousy, whiny miserable wench the past few weeks. Wah, wah, wah…all alone. Whatever. Shaking it off…shaking it off.

I have amazing friends and family who look out for me and check in on me. I hardly deserve all the blessings they give. Thank you everyone.

Damn.

What a year it’s been! I admit I spent time thinking about Mark while sick in bed alone alone alone. Just wondering about all the things that went wrong over-thinking kind of stuff.

Seeing all the happy family pictures of my friends on Facebook with the kiddos made me feel even lonelier these past few weeks. In an alternative life, once I find the person I want to be the father of my children…I want those moments too. Desperately at times despite knowing I’m actually very happy where I am and who I am right now. The Road Not Traveled or something.

So in addition to being sick. I was feeling VERY VERY DOWN and sorry for myself. I’m sorry for those I have not been a good friend to lately because of this selfish mood. I’m not proud, but it happens from time to time. Thank you for loving me despite myself.

Happy Penguin Undies

Oh dear…want. Want. Want. Want.

Kitten Mittens

I can’t stop laughing…

Will someone please make my cats Kitten Mittens?

I need a musical proposal in my life…

TOY Hall of Fame

Ball, Big Wheel, Game Boy make Toy Hall of Fame

Wait, you mean to tell me GAME BOY made it the same year as the BALL?

I shake my fist at our techy video game dependent society.
