It’s been so quiet today, thanks to a couple of Baltimore’s finest. The police have been much more visible today and yesterday, and gee — no drug dealers on the block. Imagine. People are actually able to walk down the street without being accosted by dealers. I wish it was like this every day…sigh.
Many thanks to “our” officers — please keep up the good work. We need you.
Okay…something really wierd just happened. As soon as I typed “We need you” a little tan box about 3px by 10 px flashed on my screen that said “true”.
What the hell?
Life just keeps getting wierder…and I guess, sometimes it’s in a good way.
Okay it happened again.
Um, glad you agree with me…whoever you are? OMG I’m talking to my laptop. I need a nap.

Today’s been a wierd one, that’s for sure. I experienced some not-so-subtle intimidation from the local dope dealers…it actually started Friday and they came in again today — two of them. I made it quite clear that they weren’t welcome, and I managed to do it without being overtly rude, which was a stretch for me.
The police were here, telling me there’s nothing they can do because of the way the “system” is structured. To hell with that, and to hell with the system. Add that to my eulogy if you truly believe that. Otherwise, get the hell out of my way and allow me to protect my business, myself, and my family.
Because I’m not leaving, I’m not closing, I’m not going anywhere.

It would seem the Weather Genie is working overtime for me…which is nice…but our fundraiser has been postponed until March 11. So…plenty of time for more wardrobe suggestions.
Here’s a pic of the Weather Genie’s handiwork thus far:
That was taken around 4 this afternoon, and I believe the words “ice pellets” are in the forecast between now and 10 AM Monday. Woot!!

So I have to attend a fundraiser/party next Sunday and I’m completely at a loss when it comes to what to wear. I figured I’d have an easy time of it — maybe order a new pair of shoes and build an outfit around them.
Um, no. It hasn’t worked out that way. I ordered the shoes, but so far I’ve found no outfit. I wanted to get a pair of wide-leg black pants and a red wrap top…or kimono-sleeve top…something festive. It’s a Chinese New Year party. Well good farkin luck with that. I can’t find the pants (unless I want to plunk down $200+, which I do not want to do) and I can’t find a kimono top — other than a cropped one from Anthropologie…which is cute, but not the look I’m going for.
So…help?
Here are the shoes. I want a pair of black wide-leg pants that sit low-ish on the waist and are fitted (not tight) through the hips…and some kind of wide-sleeve Asian-y top that’s fitted (preferably one that wraps around) in the bodice.
Help? Suggestions, please.
Oh — and I have to get everything together well in advance of next Sunday. I know it’s a tall order…

So I guess the Weather Genie granted my wish for foul weather. Thanks, Weather Genie!! I was all geared up for a snow day tomorrow…you know, sleeping in, hanging out — all that good stuff. And then it hit me — DUH. I still need to get up early…and go to work. Oops. No snow day for me.
Oh well — it should be a fun day anyway. Neighbors will drop by for coffee. Can’t beat that!
On a personal note…things are okay. Nothing’s changed, relationship-wise, but I’m doing fine. I’m decidedly not bitter about the way things turned out. Angry, yes. But bitter and hateful? No. That would only muddy the waters and make things worse, and who needs that headache? I have a terrific group of friends, two great kids, a thriving business, and a possible change (a positive one) coming with regard to my residence…(you’ll have to stay tuned for that one)…life is good.
And…I got rid of the wierd stomach thing. There is a God.

I confess: I’m one of the people who live for snowstorms, icestorms, sleet…if it’s bad weather, I love it. So when I heard about the storm that’s supposedly headed our way — woo hoo! AND there’s no need for a rush to the grocery store, so bring it on!!
Beware the Wig Ladies…

Does anyone know how to display the link categories in the sidebar? I can’t find a way to make them visible…and I’d like them to be visible. Anyone?

What’s worse than being sick with a stomach virus?
Being sick with a stomach virus and having nobody to run to the store for 7-Up. Sigh…
Surely there’s a life lesson here somewhere…ugh. No more blogging. Must lie down again. Must watch scrapbooking shows on DIY. Must let brain turn to mush. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

As quickly as I typed “Google PageRank”…mine disappeared again. Oh whatEVER, Google. Sheesh. And tomorrow’s my birthday, too. So they should at least give me a 10/10 just for the day. I’m not asking for a cool me-related graphic on the search page or anything…no, that would be cool for the big 4-0 which is NOT happening until NEXT year.
Ahem.
So…I’m looking for pig-shaped candy. Anyone know where I can find some? Google searches pull up a positively vile-sounding recipe that involves bacon (that’s not pig-shaped!) or those peppermint pigs you smash to bits at holiday time. No, I want something like…hard candies? Chocolates? Something fun, in the shape of a pig. You’d think it would be a popular shape for candy, but no such luck so far.
