Part 2: Operation "That's my bike Bee-Och!"

If you are following behind my bike and have no idea what I am talking about, please read the post below this and step your game up! So I woke up this morning feeling so fresh..fresh, and so clean..clean. Which was good because I had work to do. So let me be clear about my bike. Not only is it MY bike due to the unspoken "That's my spot Bee-Och" rule, but it is in a great location. I call it the Boardwalk/Park Place spot. Right when you walk in the room, it is on your first right..down one bike from Boardwalk. Minus the Luxury tax. My older friend rides on Boardwalk, and since I respect my elders (well not the bike stealer one)...I let that be her spot. I am respectful like that.

Soooo, I bike on Park Place. It has a nice view there, of the instructor and the clock. It is in a nice upper class neighborhood, with a fan just down the street...pointed right at us. I moved to the neighborhood about 4 years ago, and only left Park Place once. I took a brief sabbatical if you will for 8 months. I moved down 7 bikes to the corner "Go to Jail" spot. I got pregnant for the second time and moved to jail for 8 months so I could sit in the corner and have the fan directly behind me. For those of you that don't understand..you get very hot when you are prego, hence needing the fan. Well actually I really was sentenced to jail for 40 weeks, 10 months. But due to good behavior the fact that my belly wouldn't fit on the bike anymore, and that I had to leave class twice to pee, but not pee...I was released earlier. I was released, and only locked up for 8 months. After I was released and got out of jail, I went to rehab for a Doctor prescribed 6 weeks. But then I was back home a Park Places to reclaim my throne.

So needless to say, last week when I had the final straw..the last thread on my tires..I was sitting on Mediteranean Avenue. Paying $2 dollar rent with no view of a clock or fan, a bad part of the neighborhood lets just say. That is when I decided enough was enough, and implemented my plan.

So, this women had to go. I was going to reclaim my bike. I go up earlier, and the kids ready sooner. When I got there..she was no where to be found. Sweet, my Prune juice and Fiber cereal ads worked!! So I was good to go..when she finally arrived she was moved back to her old bike down at "Marvin Gardens"! HA! So class was great, my bike was so happy to see my sweet cheeks. Then at the end of class, during stretching, she looked back at me..and I smiled real nice back at her. But she knew what I was thinking.."See Bee-och, this is my bike and it's game over for you." "Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars."

Then I leave class and Captain Joesph LeatherFace pulls up to pick me up from class, and this is what I see: ME: Umm, CJLF..what are you doing with that face mask?
CJLF: Aye..Avast..we gotta go!
ME: Why..what did you do now? Have you been drinking Rum already this morning? You know you can't drive loaded!
CJLF: No, no, I am not loaded, I just placed a black spot on that lassy-landlubber who had been steal'in ye bike!
ME: What did you do? And why wear a pirate mask as a disguise you survey DOG! You are a PIRATE!
CJLF: YO, YO, ME hearty. That mask doesn't look nothing like ye lad. Don't be sweating all over me boots, and no landlubbers saw! I made sure of that. That wench won't be tak'in yer bike now.
ME: Oh...I knew I shouldn't have let you of the ship this morning..(I then look at the front of the suburban)
ME: What did you do!!. Ohh, She-ot..go..go!

Well now she is at the hospital under the care of my sister, singing "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" "Stars Keep Circling Around my Head" I will make sure my sis reminds her of the unspoken rule "That's my spot Bee-Och" and that's how she ended up there. Don't mess with me.

Yeah, cops.....I may be crazy, but I just may be the lunatic your looking for. See on the news!

A Rant from the Hamstercage: That's my bike Bee-och...

Well my new life in the 30's is off to a great start I tell ya. I have a whole other post for that..but this one is about how my day is already off to a great start. For those of you who are new here, the Hamster cage is code word for the gym. I wake up in the circus, then head off to my second home, the Hamster cage, then go back to the circus. The hamster cage is where I get on the big fancy wheel, and run in circles for at least a hour a day. So that is a brief back story. Now to the point.

So just like in high school and college, when you get to class for the first time...you select a chair to sit in for the next long boring year of lectures. There is a unspoken rule that goes on in this first week. Once you pick out this chair..it becomes yours for that particular class period. You may test drive a few more seats during the first week, but by Friday the chair you sit in is officially yours. No one talks about this rule, it is just unspoken. So that every time you get to class YOUR seat is waiting for you. Your friend till the end of the school year or semester. This unspoken "That's my spot Bee-och" rule also applies for my gym classes. Mainly my spin class. I have a bike that is MINE! MINE! MINE! But FOR some reason I have been getting the tires pulled out from underneath me!

Long story short...there is a retired teacher..who didn't go back to class after summer was over with the rest of the teachers. She stayed behind...and has taken a liking to MY bike. Now being that she is a teacher..doesn't she know about this unspoken "That's my spot Bee-och" rule? Since I have two little ones to feed and dress in the morning..it is hard to get there 30 minutes before class in order to get my spot. I have had this spot for over 3 years!! Now she comes in and is sweating all over it!!

Since this has started happening..I have been forced into a witness spinning program, going from bike to bike each day. Getting the leftovers. The ones no one wants. Like last week when I had to sit next to a elderly gentleman who is very nice, but was sweating out BENGAY all class hour and beating his chest with his arms like a dominate gorilla between songs. Or like today when I had to sit in the corner like a bad student (believe me I have been put in the corner several times in my student career) where you can't see the clock or have a fan!!! Don't these people know I NEED a clock to look at. To let me know when the torture is over how hard to push myself based upon time left! When to let out the reserves. Today I had to ask my friend across the room to please send out top secret hand codes during class to clue me in on the time left. Then on top of it the bike had a screw loose. So not only do I have a screw loose, but my bike did too. I had to fix it so it didn't wobble.

No really folks. These are desperate times. Forget the economy and bail outs..I got a bike stealer on my hands. She must not be the smartest grain of fiber in her breakfast cereal because she obviously doesn't know the lengths I will go to to get my spot in class. Poor women is in for it!

So today in class, I like a responsible American citizen, spent the hour plotting my new plan. Operation "take my bike back Bee-Och." I can't tell you everything yet, but it involves a broken hip, advertising for a prune juice and fiber cereal sale at exactly 9am M, W, F, and sending her DVDs of Sit and be Fit. Don't look at me like that! She is the one in the wrong class on the wrong bike....she is supposed to be here at Sit and be Fit singing "Raindrops keep falling on my head."

This is a mockery of the show, but usually they do sing that song! So how was your day?

Having the "talk" with Lucy about the Mac's and the PC's

So, as I previously blogged, Miss Lucy got herself in a bit of a situation. Due to these facts, I felt that I needed to have that much anticipated mother-daughter talk with Ms. Lucy Lay. You know the, the personal talk with your personal computer. The good ol' birds and the bees Mac's and the PC's kind of talk. I wasn't sure what exactly was the right age to have this talk, but she is 3 years old..and in computer years that is like....14 years old. Just in time for all the hormones algorithms to kick in. As far as she knew, she as adopted from Costco. Her parents were Hewlett and Packard.

**********************************
Me: (knot in stomach) Ummm, I think we need to talk.

Lucy: I know...

Me: Don't worry, I am not going to cursor you up one side and down the other. I just want a few questions wikipedia.

Lucy: I just feel a little embarrassed encrypting about this.

Me: Not as embarrassed as me having to tell Doctor Kevin that you were caught out in cyber space with your firewall down!

Lucy: MOM!

Me: I mean...I just can't believe by baby let someone defragment her!

Lucy: Ok, Ok, but couldn't you have just called online support and not let everyone KNOW?

Me: Well missy, this is not my default. You left me no choice. Daddy was working, and I had no back up disk.

Lucy: Does dad know?

Me: Not yet, but he will when he gets the bill for your debugging, scans and mal-ware checkup. Good thing we had JavaScript to help block all those telemarketers annoying pop up ads I have been getting trying to sell me sypware to help fix you.

Lucy: OMGosh, everyone knows, huh? I can't go to any chats rooms.

Me: Well you did leave quite the trail of cookies

Put your PC in a little pile and Dr. Kevin will sort it out for you

So I am officially back BABY, like New Kids on the Block. (Shout out to Joey with the blue eyes) Step by step, Dr. Kevin was able to get through to this girl...Lucy! For a blast to your past click here. I am sure this is what Dr. Kevin was singing as he worked on fixing Lucy.

He was able to get back all my pictures, over 500+ songs on my Itunes, Got my Costco Photo Organizer working again with all my pictures, repaired my Microsoft Office, got ALL my favorites back on Explorer, cleaned out some viruses, and the list goes on and on. Lucy was in deep trouble.

So after he emailed me all that good news, and I wetted in my Capri's, he then did another virus scan and my system crashed!! AGAIN!! No fear, after Dr. Kevin screamed a few choice words, he fixed the problem. I owe him my computer's life. So if anyone need a a great affordable computer guy..holla!
So I got Lucy back Saturday. I must say the distance only made us stronger. She is one mean, lean blogging machine. She has missed you all. It has not been all fun and games since her arrival however. She is now under strict Norton Internet Security. And I will be sitting her down for a nice mother-daughter "talk" about the birds and the bees Mac's and the PC's. Before I go, here is a pictures of my beautiful Lucy. Home all virus safe and sound. Word to my peeps, I am back on Skype..so web cam a girl!

Cormac's first day at Preschool: He's there to shake things up a bit!

Ok, it is time for a mommy post. No, I am not going to force down your throat how cute I think my kids are and smart....well maybe just a little.

Cormac is in 3 year Preschool this year. He started two weeks ago....and LOVES it! He is such a social butterfly, loves making friends and will chat up any kids who is eager to play. He always is telling me, "Momma that's my friend." He loves people. He also LOVES to learn. He gets that from his momma..sorry honey. He loves to learn anything you throw at him. He will sit down and scoot right up to the teacher during any story time and listen carefully. He already learned to count to 5 in Spanish on the first day. Harvard here we come!

So here he is being forced to pose for 1st day of Preschool pictures. I couldn't pick just one:

PUNK ROCK!!

Since he is such a kind and loving older brother, he gave Chloe hugs:She missed her best buddy while he was gone. When I picked him up I told him sissy missed him. He replied, "I missed Chloe too!" Awww.. So here is Miss Chloe up to no good as usual.When I went to drop Cormac off for school there was no problem. He didn't even care I was leaving and just went in the room and got ready for his Kindermusik class to begin. I was like,
"Hello? Heh..me over here? Could you at least pretend like you are nervous, scared or going to miss us a little?? You know, for mommies sake and ego?" "I mean you don't have to cause a scene, but you could play it out a little?" Nope he was like bye...see ya!

I am very luck to have two kids that are independent and self reliant. So thus begins my new life of shuttling to and from school, snack mom, homework, and show and tell. They asked for it, I will sure show them some things and tell them some things! I will be sure to help Cormac shake things up a little. What kind of mom would I be if I didn't? So here he is after his first day of class with one of his teachers, Becky. She is awesome:I am sure Cormac got her digits, even though he can't write them down yet....he will learn by the end of the school year. What? Don't hate the player..hate the game.

My PC has a name....

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful hoochy-mama names for my computer. Due to the quick response and number of names received, this leads me to believe you all may have a few skeleton's in your own closets. Maybe a pole or two in your past? I am just saying?? No worries, I have a "Don't ask, Don't tell " policy here at my blog thanks to Bill Clinton. A policy which I think he conveniently stole from his wife's wedding vows. So your secrets are safe with me. Unless....you do want to get some things off your chest..no pun intended. I am here for you. If that is the case, I am all ears. Just stop by and pour your little heart out. I will have a cold one waiting for you. That's just what good friends do...you shameless hussy's!

Back to the business at hand. After carefully sorting through the submitted comments, myspace messages, and emails, I have decided on one. My computer shall from here on be known as....Lucy! Lucy (loose-ey). This name was given by my dear friend, Brenda over at Bitch'in and Blogg'in. Since I have regrettably come to the conclusion that my PC had been acting a little "loose" recently and got a few viruses. So I thought this name would be fitting. Thanks Brenda..I will be getting you a bag of Special Ice and some India Antibiotics for your participation. With those two items on had...may all your dreams come true.
For those of you who have been concerned about Lucy's health, I will be updating you all on her status soon. She told me to tell you all thanks for the "I don't think your a hussy" cards, and the "Virus Protection for Dummies." books she has recieved. It had helped her through this difficult time in her life.

DOCTOR! DOCTOR! Give me some news. I've got a bad case of PC blues!

So I have been waiting for a update on my computer. Of course, everyone blames their parents for their "issues", so I am waiting to hear how this was all MY FAULT! Then yesterday I got a update from Dr. Kevin about my computer. He seems to be on the up and up on the blogging world. Possibly understands my warped sense of humor. I like that. So he emailed me the following in response to my computers issue:

The computer came to the home, rode hard (some dust under the hard drives), and formatted wet. Day 1 was spent mostly examining what was left of the hard drive. I did some simple search’s ignoring most of the programs and errors that popped up and stated they didn’t work. With some looking I was able to make some really good finds. It appears Windows wants nothing to do with any programs. Once I get Windows talking to some of the programs again I will start feeling better, but before I do that , I wanted to remove any programs that are causing pop-up errors, I went through and eliminated several programs that felt, "I didn’t love them." While this is true, I didn’t have the heart to fix them. Day 2 - Next I ran a boot scan through every file on the computer (4 hour scan) to see if we have any virus’s active or not. None could be found, so next I will be digging into the Mal-ware and if that goes well the computer will get Internet access and the rebuilding will begin. J - Happy trails.

So it sounds like she had to go through a wee bit of withdrawals, and has moved past the denial stage. Which is good. However, I can't believe my computer is a big "hussy"...getting all around the Internet, getting dirty, getting wet, possibly catching some nasty viruses! I did not boot her up like this I swear. I will be having a talk with her about software protection and how to put up her firewall against those bad boys. I think she had been spending to much time hanging out with Miley Cyrus's computer. Please keep my computer in your thoughts and google searches as he goes through her Mal-ware. I hope it is not to late, and she is not already lost in myspace land.....

Oh, I also just realized that I have not named my computer. What a crime. Many of you know I name everything. Somehow she got lost in the truffle shuffle. So I give this to you. NAME MY COMPUTER! Things you should know to help in the naming: It is a girl and apparently she is a little loose......may the best name win!

The waves keeping on crashing on me for some reason

Yep, just when when I stand up, they knock me down again. Just can't seem to get the saltwater out of my eyes. It is terrifying to be offline!! So this will be short and salty. While I have been away learning about PC recovery, a few things have happened. I did have my 30th birthday. I will let you all know about that soon. My great friend Kristi O. wrote a sweet post about me to wish me the big 3-0. Check it out: J to the M to the E. Thanks for all the kind words Kristi, that was one of the nicest things anyone has done for me. You are the best. I will bring you a diet coke any day. I was shocked you could actually come up with 10 positive things to say about me (laugh). That must have taken you a long time to brainstorm that post :) Also, in my defense, that picture was taken while we were on a vacation last year, and I was wearing my Lands'End walrus suit. That is a whole other blog...

Wonderful Tami Sue over at Sleepin' on the Job gave me one of these: Thanks, and I will get to the tag as soon as my computer gets past the first step: Denial. Other things to mention: Thanks to everyone for the nice birthday wishes. What sweethearts you ask are, that, or on happy pills! To those of you who emailed me questions for the WWJamieDo? series, yes I have got them and will be responding to them soon. Keep the questions coming! Also we are stilling looking for anyone who would like to join our Competitive Tetris League. Membership includes a FREE colored t-shirt!
Thanks for the playlist feedback...I am not sure what to do. Some of you want it to stay. Ohhh, what? What's that? Ohh, Dwight would like to say something on this matter too. Since he is trained in the art of surveillance, he wants me to tell you all that he has been watching all your participation (or lack there of) in the Theme Song voting. He would just like to let some of you know he is now mulling over which of you will be allowed back into my "Circle of Trust" based upon voting results. Those of you who do not make the cut will be forced to work at the Schrute Beet Farm. He also is telling me to reveal that he has many knives (and other weapons) strategically positioned throughout this blog. I am not sure why he is telling me this......??? I wouldn't take lightly his weaponry skills...remember the Spud Gun? Oh, and he would like to cast his vote for the theme song,"Battlestar Galactica" Ok, Dwight..enough!! I am starting to feel like Physic John Edwards.
Sorry about his threats. I think he has been drinking some of his Beet Wine again.

Ok..Lets try this again: Vote or Die!

Well maybe not die..who would read this blog? So Dwight and I are cleaning house around this here blog. I know there is a never ending blogger world disagreement. Some like music playlist's and some despise them like Newman despised Publisher's Clearinghouse day. It is a black and white issue. So I am thinking about taking mine off. This is where YOU come in. My playlist is complied of a 100 different theme songs. Most are from my childhood..either favorite movie, sitcom, or cartoon. It was just meant to be a little fun, and take you back down memory lane. Go ahead and "play" on my playlist. Grab your Lik-A-Maid candy, turn it on and enjoy a walk down memory lane. Don't look at what the theme title is......can you guess what it is from??? Can you? Can you?


So leave me a comment telling me if you like playlists, or mine for that matter. I may be taking it off. Then tell me what your favorite theme was and why. Here, I will go first.


1. Unsolved Mysteries- This one is not my favorite, but scares me the most. To this day every time I listen to this theme song...I get goose bumps. That show scared the crap out of me..yet drew me in to where I couldn't stop watching. Always made you draw up the covers. Robert Stack and his trench coat. Him and his voice appearing out of the fog! SPOOKY!! Those Wednesday nights always resulted in nightmares. Still couldn't stop watching it though. Not good for me as a young child who lived in Alaska. In the winter months we only had a few hours of daylight in the afternoon. So I went to school in the dark, and came home in the dark. I really did have to walk give ore take a mile, in 3+ feet of snow in the dark. All the while thinking about that crap I saw on Unsolved Mysteries the night before. I was just waiting for the UFO to land and take me away, or the serial killer to snatch me up. May have caused some emotional issue. My life coach is still trying to determine that.

2. Magnum PI and MaCGyver- I had crushes on these two hunk of men. Tom Selleck as Thomas Magnum, what a mustache, red sport scar, the Hawaiian t-shirts! I actually just really liked his voice for some reason. I will have to tell my husband to "talk Selleck" to me. I was also intrigued with the weird rich guy who owned the estate. The millionaire author Robin Masters. He just played with his Doberman Pinschers all day. My great Uncle in the 80's was a paparazzi, and when he would come visit he would bring a briefcase full of pictures he took of celebrities. I remember finding one he had of Tom Selleck, and he let me have it. I carried it around for a long time. I think I still have it! Ok, stop laughing now, ans start drooling:MacGyver- So resourceful and sexy at the same time! Always cool under pressure in life or death situations. Plus since I was/am a science nerd, I liked seeing how he would get all "MacGyverisms" on ya! Getting his spontaneous invention on. Nice dusty-blond-half mullet with his brown leather jacket...

Ohh la la. The smell of leather ! I love it when my hubby gets his MacGyverisms on!

Other favs: Mr. Belvedere,The Cosby Show, 90201 (yeah I typed it, Kelly groupie), Dallas, Family Matters, Family Ties, Full House.....and of course Goonies!! I will always be a Goonie. I have been trying to train Cormac to be a Goonie....Sloth scared him though. BaaabyRuuuth! I have taught him that "Goonies never say die!" Still work in progress though. I will get bak to ya on that one.

No gas in this rig, can't even get it started

I moving a little slow these days. Yep, one of my symptoms from this illness I have been having is confusion. I am so confused these days I don't know whether to drink or drive..or both. I have definitely been riding the short bus, and on few occasion had to raise my right hand. I know, I know, can you believe it? So I need your help ladies, my latest frustration is with this new program I have:

Adobe ImageReady 7.0

I think it may be a little over my head. I just wanted to do some editing on my pictures, and thought I should get the highest program they had...for it must be the best! Well, it says it is "the professional image-editing standard." I am about ready to uninstall the program and toss it. So, does anyone know about this program? If so, is it a program I should try to use...or is there another user friendly on I should get?? Don't leave me photoshoped-less???

Oh, and here is a video for you all. I just wanted to show you what I have been up to lately. I joined a competitive Tetris league. I thought it would be a great hobby to get into during the winter months. Especially since I may be forced by doctors order to not snowboard this winter. If you look hard enough you can see me. I am the one of the "Z" pieces in light blue. I am in one of the first rows that gets deleted. If anyone is interested, we are still needing a block group and a "L" group.

I be straight illin!

Yeah, I have been getting my butt kicked around here. I feel like I have had a few roundhouse kicks to my kidneys. I have been absent from many things right now, due to my health. I won't go into to much detail, but I have been battling many things for a while now. I just want to say I am still here, but ninjas keeping attacking me every time I turn around. So They have kinda kicked the funny out of me. I can't seem to get ahead. I still am pushing through the pain, and trying to go about my daily activities. I will try to get around to updating you all, but for now....you will just have to get a laugh at someones expense. I am closed today.

I would like to say thanks to my friends and family who have been so kind, and checking in on me. I REALLY appreciate it. It lets you known who your true friends are, and who you can depend on. Thanks, thanks, thanks. Also a big thanks to Kristi for visiting me in the ER room last month, and offering to bring me Pepsi. Also thanks to Kristi for taking me to the ER last night and sitting with me for hours. You rock....I promise to make it up to you in Diet Cokes. Please pray the Doctors will be able to help me, and I can avoid any major surgery. This is all I can muster right now.......
