My Stalker

October 29, 2006 by Tricia

My little old lady neighbor is at it again.

We took our window air-conditioners out about two weeks ago. When the living room / dining room air-conditioner was in the window Sofie couldn’t see me if I was sitting at my desktop computer. Now that that air-conditioner has been taken out and put away she has a clear view of me from her dining room window.

It’s an even clearer view when she moves her curtains aside and stands in her window staring at me.

I’ve taken to waving at her when I see her. She backs quickly away from her windows and the curtains close again. LOL Sofie- If you can see me, I can see you too!

If Chris and I are going out she’s often in her front window looking out or on her front porch. She always asks where we are going. Unfortunately my husband often tells her the truth – and often the truth is we are going to yet another doctors appointment for me. If she hears I’m going to the doctor she gets all worried and often gets teary. Why on earth does my husband tell her where we are going when he knows it makes her cry? Anyway, my doctors appointments are usually just routine appointments, it doesn’t mean I’m deathly ill just because I’m seeing a doctor.

If she hasn’t seen me sitting at my desktop computer she’ll often come to our back window and knock on it. She scares the crap out me every time she does this. I’m just never expecting a knock on the back window even though I should be by now since she does this every second or third day.

She’s nice little ol’ lady, and I know she’s lonely and that she worries about me, but her devotions really creeps me out.

Does anyone else have any overly friendly or overly nosy neighbors?

Tricia Needs …

October 28, 2006 by Tricia

This is something I saw on one of my visitors sites (Thanks Mary). The idea is to do a Google search “your name needs” and see what comes up. Here’s mine:

1. Tricia needs affection, stability and devotion, not charm and empty words – she’s made the right choice. Always!

2. Tricia needs Carlos more than ever and he leaves! Carlos, Carlos how could you do this to me! Wait, who is Carlos anyway?

3. Tricia needs to take a bathroom break. How did you know?

4. Tricia needs help, needs therapy, not the electric chair. Well, some might have differing opinions on that one.

5. Tricia needs to bring me out of the clouds. Does that mean I put you there?

6. Tricia needs the forms that were in your mailboxes last week. Don’t tell me you didn’t get them?

7. TRICIA NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS! Can’t hurt.

8. Tricia needs you. And you, and you and you!

9. Tricia needs your final payment by Monday. Please don’t give me the line that the cheques in the mail, I’m not stupid you know.

10. All Tricia needs is to have her favorite music and things around her. True, very true.

More comedy shows please

October 28, 2006 by Tricia

I was just flipping channels on the TV and I came across Married with Children. I haven’t seen that show in ages. Peggy and Al always cracked me up. LOL

This episode happened to be a particularly good one. I came across the show after the show had already started so I’m guessing that Peg must have entered a decorating contest. She re-did the main bathroom all in pink. If you ever watched this show in the past you might remember that Al liked his bathroom time. Well, he simply couldn’t use the washroom when it was all pink so he set out to get the bathroom back. On the day that she was showing the washroom to the contest judges Al loaded himself up with a combination of Tabasco sauce, tacos, refried beans- the works, and while the judges were viewing the bathroom Als meal kicked in. We don’t know exactly what happened up there, but everyone ran out of the house. I’m pretty sure that I can imagine what happened. Ewwww.

Al got his bathroom back after that. LOL

This wasn’t the best comedy show but it was funny. I found that last year there were very few good comedy shows on TV. The only really memorable one that stands out is “My Name is Earl”. This year a number of comedy shows have begun and I hope that a few of them make it through their first season. I think we’ve been over run with reality shows, murder-mystery, medical and detective type shows over the last few years. We need to get some good comedy back in the mix. Our lives are stressful, and nothing relieves stress better than a good laugh. Ok there’s a few other things, but laughter works well for most.

What comedy shows do you like? Are you enjoying any of the new comedy series that have started this year?

Star in a HP ad

October 27, 2006 by Tricia

This is so cool! Have you always wanted to star in a commercial?

Well, I’ve found a way that you can star in a HP computer ad. This is part of HP’s The computer is personal again ad campaign.

It’s really easy too. You simply go to the HP site where you can create your own personalized advertisements. You can upload it to your own site, or share it by email with your friends and family.

I think I could have played with this all day, uploading photos over and over again.

Here’s the HP Ad that I’m in – what do you think?



OMG! It makes my nose and mouth look funny! LOL My eyes were kind of puffy in that pic, can’t help that. Amazingly – the voice and the hands are very similar to my own. I’m going to play with this a bit more. Keep an eye on this post, I may change the HP ad.

Try this out for yourself! It’s fun.

BTW You know what’s really funny about this ad? I have two HP computers. One is a desktop, and the other is a laptop. I’d swear that that’s my laptop model at the end. LOL

TV sucks!

October 27, 2006 by Tricia

I got some bad news on Thursday afternoon and I needed to take my mind off of things by Thursday evening. Usually some of my favorite shows are on on Thursday night but it seems the networks in there wisdom have decided to show a bunch of re-runs this week.

I think the only show that was on last night that I wanted to watch that wasn’t something I’ve already seen was Ugly Betty. I do like that show. I should have added it to yesterdays Thursday thirteen list. Survivor was a rehashing of what’s already happened on the Island this season. I hate those kinds of shows.

I don’t understand why the big networks start new or returning shows in Mid-September or early October and then have the shows take a break for up to two weeks at the end of October. Whats the point in that? Then they usually show reruns again around the American Thanksgiving period, plus half or most of December ends up being re-runs.

Are TV seasons getting shorter and shorter or is it just my imagination? What do you think?
