What was your name?

I had several errands to run the other day, so I loaded up the 'mater car and off I went in search of my bare necessities!  Thought since I was in the neighborhood I would drop by my cell phone provider and see what kind of deals they had this month.  I'm always on the outlook for a good deal when it comes to my phone.  After much haggling and hair pulling (on their part!) it looks like I might be interested in an I-phone come February.  We shall see....after all I did escape their clutches didn't I?  lol  At any rate, while I stood in line to pay my bill I over heard someone declaring to anyone in earshot they were going to the major competition!  What????  How dare they!!  So being the person I am and also knowing what I know about all cell phone carriers (I've used them all!) I proceeded to tell this person why my current carrier is the best and will always be the best until a better one comes around.  Let's just say I should go to work for them......after all I wouldn't let my dog pee on some of those carriers!  Did you know that those roll over minutes you get every month will continue to accumulate til they reach a year old?  Do you know what happens when they reach a year old?  They disappear!  So again what's the point in saving them if they are going to disappear after a year?  I once worked for a man who never listened to a thing I told him.  I begged him to get a decent cell provider for his workers so I wouldn't have to send some of them out with my personal cell phone.  No he couldn't do that he had to go with the cheapest he could find.  And when he didn't get good service he would scream at me!  So I would scream at the cell provider company!  And now you know why I have high blood pressure! lol

I was talking to my friend the other day about a wonderful book I just read.  It's by the Cleveland Clinic on Menopause.   Now most of you ladies and men alike can't see what could be wonderful about menopause but this book explained a lot to me.  Like why I keep calling my daughters by each others names and why I call my son by the Hubs name.  It's all about the hormones or so the book says.....  My poor sister just stares at me with tears in her eyes and whispers "I just wish for once you would call me by my name."  And I for one can't remember what her name is.

I find myself at a loss of words in the middle of a sentence too.  Sometimes I will be looking right at the clothes basket and can't tell you what it is called.  Strangest thing I have ever gone through!  They say it is caused by a dip in the estrogen level in the brain.  Whatever!  So my alternative is to take Hormone Replacement Therapy.  No can do!  Causes breast cancer in our family.  Don't want it.  Everyone has had it but me and the Mondee so I don't know about her but I for one will avoid it at all cost!

Lately I have been trying to kill the fat lady that ate me.  Hasn't been working out like I planned.  Seems whenever I get my heart rate up to about 140 I start coughing and feeling a tightness in my chest.  I thought it was caused by a recent flu.  I'll know more about what is causing it later this week.  But that book I just read told me this too can be caused by low estrogen levels.  Amazing stuff this estrogen!  And I thought it just kept me from growing a full beard!

Well I got rid of the Chosen One and his buddy yesterday.  No I didn't use the backhoe.  I just threw him out on I-95 with his luggage and patted him on his head, wished him well.  He'll be back in about 3 months or so.  He's in Ocala, Florida chasing horses and designing sets for pretty little girls to jump with their pretty little ponies.  What a life!

Got stuck with Ace the Wonder Dog so imagine my dismay when I pulled up in the yard last night to discover this lump on my front porch.  When it stood up I figured out it wasn't human, it was DOG.  Oh Boy!  Joy and Rapture!  Now I get to catch Ace the Wonder Dog!  You try catching a Stafford shire Terrier  in full blown gallop! He was racing around the house so fast his feet weren't even touching the ground!  I swear!  Of course he was acting like a mad man all because he saw me getting out of the car.  And when I called his name, he just stopped and stared at me.  I had to think, his name is Ace....right?  Of course....Ace.....  So I went in the house, slamming the door in his face.  He just knocks on the front door.  I hook him up and off to the run we go.  So easy....Beats the heck out of chasing him around the yard like a mad woman screaming his name, whatever it is.....

Oh well, I hope I have given you some fuel to fight next time someone says you never remember anything!  Now if I could just remember where I put my car keys I just might make it to the gym today!
