Argh

I love that word - argh. Pretty much sums up how I am feeling right about now. Just realized that there are only FOUR days before Christmas Eve. Is it just me or did this sneaky Holiday come out of nowhere?
Just like when poor little Charlie Brown is trying to kick that football and Lucy Van Pelt pulls it away at the last minute. That's me. WHAM! It hits you. You are nowhere near ready for the "most wonderful time of the year". I am positive, whoever wrote that song was not a woman and a mother to boot.

By the way, when I was out searching the correct spelling of argh I found many interesting facts pertaining the word "ARGH" that I can honestly say I never realized. So as my gift to you this holiday - Lord knows I will never get around to purchasing something on this procrastinator's schedule, let alone wrap, mail etc. - here you go:

  • There are 9,080,000 results on Google for the word argh.
  • ARGH is an acronym for Augmented Reality Games on Handhelds. Some geeky oops "techie" thing that middle school kids can participate in.
  • Another techie thing Advanced Research in Graphics Hardware. The conference for members of ARGH must be one rip-roaring time. They must sit around and talk about Reordering for Cache Conscious Photon Mapping whatever that is and yell ARGH RULES.
  • There is an argH Gene Page for Acronym Resolving General Heuristics . Couldn't understand a darn word on the entire page. Must need to be Gregor Mendel to comprehend. They even had a book for $84.48 on Amazon. Would highly recommend as a stocking stuffer.
  • Argh for the most part on other pages are used for the same reason I used it. To express shock, anger, surprise or general exclamation. Sometimes sounds like a scream, yell or shout.

Have now just realized, if I wouldn't spend so much time blogging I would probably have everything done. Argh!

Argh is one of my favorite words too. I say that as I sit here addressing envelopes and looking up addresses that I never wrote down...somehow getting sidetracked by funny blogs.
Argh.

I like the bridget jones version, which is GAAAAAA!!! Carey--you never wrote down an address in your life, so I don't know who you think you're fooling. Susan--I would much rather have you writing blogs than purchasing gifts or getting organized...

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

What's your playlist?

Over the holidays I began the task of cleaning out my iPod. Some of the music I am proud to say I listen to and then there are the cringe worthy tunes I am too embarrassed to admit. In all there are 2,789 songs on my iPod (down from 3,643). I am amazed, how could I possibly listen to or know nearly 4,000 songs? Obviously the iPod has taken on a life of its own. While scrolling through the bazillion songs I began to think about all of these Celebrity playlists out on iTunes which are supposed to define who the person is in song and how the music shaped their lives. Some of the lists are lame and try to make the person sound more interesting and deeper than who they really are. Other lists have introduced me to music I would have never listened to before which I love, plus they sometimes give you a glimpse to moments in their lives. I am going to give my non-celebrity, hopefully non-lame playlist a shot. Thanks for letting me indulge. Here is my life (so far) in song: Dancing Queen - AB
