chelelev: (Red Hat Mama)
The Queen held her first meeting today and everyone got presents from the Queen. We have charter member red hats (note, when ironing purple bows, put something on the ironing board cover if you don't want it to be purple)and Mardi Gras beads (and no one had to flash for them). I just found a bunch of new stuff in Oriental Trading that I will order (flashing hat pins, some antenna balls - the XB does not have an antenna). My Vice Queen even got a tiara to wear too. I think it went well, anything that involves 2 martinis works for me.

When I got home, I saw that Mark's leather jacket was gone and figured (duh) he was out on the bike. Caller ID told me he had called, he was broken down up on Badger Mountain. I got out of going to get him when a member of the leather crowd called him back, Tom took a trailer out and picked him and the bike up and took them to the local Honda dealership. He had blown the master fuse (which was used, he had already blown one when he replaced the alternator). We have breakfast with the leather crowd tomorrow and part of the program is testimonies on Oops (Mark and master fuse) and one for someone who goes beyond the call of duty. Tom gets the beyond the call of duty and Mark is in the running for the oops. He has learned, he has an extra master fuse now.

Tomorrow begins the great computer swap out. I want Mark to go through his closet and get rid of the clothes that he has outgrown (which are a majority). Why is that men don't realize their clothes are not longer fitting? Is the stuffed sausage look ok in their eyes?

The crew that Mark is on at work wear "not me shirts". We scour Goodwill, etc. for shirts with other people's names on them. Give me a challenge and I am off and running, dragging home 10 at a time. He now has way too many and refuses to wear the Jaime or Susie shirts. I thought he was secure in his manhood but guess not. Once I depleted the not me shirts, I moved on to "don't work here" shirts, McDonalds, Albertsons, Microsoft, UPS, bars, wineries, US Postal Service, Pepsi, etc. Bonus is company and a different name. He really wants Jesus (Hispanic version) but I never find those.

One of our local plants just voted to go union free. It is not a good thing, even with the union in place, the plant was really pushing production and in a meat packing plant, you go too fast someone gets hurt.

I have always been a rock and roll girl. Led Zep, The Doors, Grateful Dead (big dead head), The Who.  Have gone to see lots and lots of Rock and Roll concerts.  For some reason I have been listening to country lately (for about the past year or so).  I don't know why.  I still don't like country country but I like rock and rolly country.  Big and Rich.  Love to gaze at Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney (too short for me but the cute butt gets me every time).  I know about every 7 years your body changes, wonder if your taste in music also changes?
