After changing my neices diaper today up in her bedroom, I noticed that she no longer had her pacifier in her mouth.
Me: "Kie, where did your nunnie (pacifier) go?"
Kie: (putting her little hands up in a shrug gesture) " I no no...." (I don't know)
It's the little things............

Talk About a Conflict of Interest!
Sirhan Surhan, Robert F. Kennedy's assasin, comes up for parole this week.
The assassin's parole hearing at Corcoran State Prison on Wednesday — the 13th since his conviction and the first since Schwarzenegger's election in 2003 — will be heard by two board members, one of whom was appointed by Schwarzenegger.
IF, and that is a big if because it is VERY unlikely, he is recommended for parole ....the decision of whether to free Sirhan will fall to Schwarzenegger.
When I heard this on the news this morning, I absolutely laughed my head off. Looks like he will rot in prison.....
Anyone know why I laughed? I know it's quite obvious why I found this amusing, but I want to know what YOU think......

Foxwood's
On a whim (and because of Fridays bonus check and retro-active raise), we decided to try our luck at Foxwoods on Saturday, and stretch our rental car's legs (a Nissan Altima, I am only the second one to drive it...I WANT IT!)
While we lost everything that we went down with (we limited ourselves to a certain amount of money - we were NOT excessive), we DID have a good time.
Foxwoods is the ULTIMATE place to people watch, so I am going to share some of my people and general Foxwoods observations.....

Foxwoods is the ULTIMATE place to people watch, so I am going to share some of my people and general Foxwoods observations.....
- Don't people KNOW that they should NEVER EVER wear a fanny pack? I counted about 6, but this was in the period of the 45 minutes that we had to wait to get into the Hard Rock Cafe.
- The amount of "80's doo's" is APPALLING!
- If you come to Foxwoods on a bus tour, don't you know when you are leaving and what time to meet the bus? Why is it that you hear over the loud speaker EVERY 5 minutes " so-and so, please report to the bus terminal, your bus is ready to leave"?
- When I was sitting at a video poker machine,there was an ANCIENT guy sitting next to me. He had a photo of a nude woman propped up on the screen. Everytime he went to choose his "hold" cards...He touched the picture. Can you say "EIEEWWWW?"
- Although, NOT a smoker....I always find myself in the smoking casino? Why do you think that is?
- I find the .25 cent machines are better because it stretches your buck, or in MY case....BUCKS!
- It's always cold there from all the oxygen being pumped in.
- Time FLIES when you are losing your money!
- The ride home always SUCKS.
- Ok, THIS pissed me off a little bit. I saw a trailer trash fat ass couple sitting at the video poker machines with their VERY mentally and physically incapacitated son propped up next to them in a wheelchair. ADDICTED much??????????
- I found that when my boyfriend was sitting next to me, I would start to lose.....
We didn't stay there REALLLLLY long....long enough to lose our money and eat at the Hard Rock. All in all, it was a pretty good time.

On my A.M. Playlist.......
So I meant to post this yesterday,but go caught up in posting on the Idol board (because, again...I am a geek and ADDICTED). All will be quiet over there until Wednesday morning after the show. I am writing this at 6:00 A.M. on a SATURDAY.
Anyway, there are times when I actually get to DRIVE into work instead of taking the subway (you know, that HORRIBLE means of transportation where somehow the person who has just eaten an EVERYTHING bagel from Dunkin Donuts thinks that it's a good idea to sit next to me and breathe on me...), but I digress....
I love those times when I get to be in my car alone. Even though I hate driving, and there is usually bumper to bumper traffic, I look forward to it. These are the times where I can listen to any CD (without complaints from the peanut gallery) as loud as I WANT. My music choice is usually something that I can sing along to (which, now that I think about it does not distinguish any one CD from the other because I sing along to EVERYTHING).
I have always related songs to things and memories that have happened in my lifetime. A certain song on the radio can remind me of a period in my life (good or not so good). Yesterday's CD of choice was: The Police "Every Breath You Take - The Classics". I am going to run down the list of songs, and write down the memory that comes to mind. Some of them, I might skip over,just as I do on the CD because they are not my favorites. MOST of them will have a caption.
Roxanne: Every time I hear this one, it reminds me of Beverly Hill Cops, where Eddie Murphy is sitting on the bus with his headphones singing this song at the top of his lungs. Also reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit where Sting was the guest on the show. Dana Carvey see's him in an elevator and starts singing this song. It is so funny the way he sings it, because he is trying to do the front vocals AND the backround at the same time, coming out sort of like " Roxanne(putontheredlighhhhhhhhhhhhhht)Roxannnnnnne..." You would have to see it.....
Can't Stand Losing You: No particular memory for this one, but I DO love it. It SOMETIMES gets skipped over in order to hear the next song, which is......
Message In A Bottle: I remember my stepfather (or FORMER stepfather) playing the drums to this. Even though my general thought on him was that he was an ass, I DO have some good memories of him. He was definitely a Police fan, and I really liked listening to him play the drums to the various songs. I really think that if not for him playing their records (yes, they were RECORDS back then), I would not be SUCH a fan of them. Thinking back now, I'm sure that it was SOME form of OCD...ADD that made him play a song over and over again. That's ok though...Because now I know ALL the words, and I actually do that too...
Side note: This song was not the best song that he played the drums to. It was actually "Driven To Tears", which is not on this CD. You can bet, though, that I DO have that song on another CD, and do a pretty good imitation of him to it....(evil)
Walking On The Moon: Usually skipped over....
Don't Stand So Close To Me: So THIS song (most notably the video for it) was where I first noticed the male physique (and appreciated it) Side note: To my COUSIN who shall remain nameless...BILLY SQUIRE DOES NOT COUNT. Sting jumping around that classroom without his shirt on...Oh yeah. I could STILL watch that video....I wanna see it NOW! Also, I love the way he says "it's no use....He see's her (but the her sounds more like "HAH")"
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da: Usually skip over this one too. Remember this one for the obsessive compulsive drumming also....
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic: No real memory for this one except that whenever it is on the radio, my boyfriend says everytime (like CLOCKWORK) " This is the only song I like from the Police" When I say "everytime", I am not exaggerating. So whenever it comes on, I say "I KNOW" in a bitchy voice through my teeth before he even says it. I know, I'm so patient.....
Invisible Sun: This one is almost always skipped.....
Spirits In The Material World: Skipped, it's "ok", but not one of my faves.
Every Breath You Take: I usually skip over this one too, but it's not because I don't like it. It was a hot summer on Neillian. We had nothing to do but walk around the neighborhood with a boom box. The DJ on the radio at the time thought that it would be a good idea to play this particular song EVERY hour on the hour, because of the popularity of it. Not lying. So every hour it would come on, accompanied by groans of "awwwww mannnnnn.....Not againnnnnnn" by us, who were already irritated by the heat.
King Of Pain: Skipped over.....To get to......
Wrapped Around Your Finger: My FIRST slow dance with a BOY! 7th grade? 8th grade? Not so sure about that one. Won't name the name, because there is always the chance of a google, especially because now he is in a semi popular band - then I would feel like a DOOFUS. Give you a hint: "Blurry"
Don't Stand So Close To Me 86: Reminds me of my cousin when I listen to it because I know that she likes it. Makes me wish as though I had her in the car with me singing into whatever microphone substitutes I have in there. (I usually use my cell phone much to my boyfriend's chagrin)
Message In A Bottle: It's a different remastered version. I like to listen to this one instead of the other one because it has more of a powerful "blast factor". Side Note: I am constantly searching for the version of this song that Sting and Gwen Stefani sang at a Superbowl halftime show. I forget which one, but I have been looking for it ever since.
I usually am on Congress Street by this point ready to start my work day - yeeee-haw!
