Thoughts that are rattlin' around the 'ol noggin:1) No SoxFest tickets this year. Bummer. Gees, and I had such a swell time hugging Chops with my eyes closed last year. Then on top of it, they went and traded that finely toothed specimen of manliness. Sigh. Gees, he was lovely.
2) I really hate that sound the Wii makes when I step on the fitness board. It sort of goes "Oooh", like it is wincing from pain. Note to Wii--this sound makes me not want to get on the board.
3) I do like that Wii Fit Plus has a pet feature. Now when I work out, cartoon Hobbes comes along and runs with me. But it is a much skinnier version of Hobbes, and it doesn't meow every 3 seconds like the real one does.
4) I hate office politics/gossip/B.S. It's just such a downer and too easy to get caught up in it. Ugh.
5) It's late January and do you know what that means??? Casi Cielo at Starbucks. Yes! If you like coffee, this Guatemalan bad boy is the one for you. Hurry, it's only available for a few weeks.
6) Have I mentioned Hobbes is meowing like every 3 seconds? Yeah. It's really annoying.
7) I caught sight of Ozzie Guillen (White Sox Mgr) on the Sox website this weekend and gees, that man can dress. I'm so not into Latin guys, but sheesh, when you look at him, you just know he smells good too. (Em likes that--it's my new saying)
8) You know, there are just some people who make me belly laugh. My cousin, Kelly, is one of those people.
9) Instead of SoxFest tickets, Joe and Colin got Blackhawk tickets instead--seventh row up from the glass. Free. Tickets that cannot be bought anywhere these days. I didn't want to go, so I stayed home. They think they are cool now.
10) Colin got Beatles Rock Band for Christmas and I love to point out that those songs only got as dirty as "I wanna hold your hand" or "I wanna be your man". It drives my kids nuts. I think that means I am officially old.
11) Somebody's dog tried friending me on Facebook the other day. I was like "Rufus, who??" and hit ignore. I don't know about you, but I think my life is going wrong when my friends on Facebook are dogs.
Feel free to comment or just roll your eyes and suck your teeth.

Sprinting to Starbucks now! (Mind you, this is the only thing that can get me to run other than an explosion).
I wonder if you can add your pet to other Wii stuff. Our son had a blast adding Anastasia's entire family to the peanut gallery in Wii bowling.
Irish is in heat and she is bat-shit crazy today. She has defeated the sliding door and keeps hi-tailing it to the basement and then 1st floor, then 2nd. I'm about to lose my mind.
Thanks for the giggle Lin. I agree with you about the Wii fit board, I always feel like I am hurting it when I step on!
Hobbes is asking Is it Spring yet? Is it Spring yet?
Starbucks has almost heaven coffee?
Still trying to get rid of the sinus issues from my cold. I think I will just be sick the rest of the winter. I give up.
Friend a dog? The stripey one would never approve of that.
What's the story on Almost Heaven coffee from Starbucks?
So, Facebook has, indeed, gone to the dogs. Thought it might.
Well, I'm not particularly a sports fan (except the Yankees... don't throw tomatoes), but I celebrate with you. PS I hate Facebook. I spend my life perfecting my non-social skills and then people want me to be friends because I know their cousin's blog commenter. NOT.
I don't know I am friends with Daisy on facebook and she is a cat....
Well I have a cartoon otter as a friend on facebook and he is delightful - no offense to my human friends...just sayin'
I love me some Beatles Rock Band, too much fun!
As everyone knows I am FaceBook challenged but even so, I don't want dogs for friends. No.
lol! I have a hard time taking it serious when someone's pet asks to be my friend. Really? Your dog is now on facebook. Uh huh. Right. I think someone needs a life. Now they're posting about themselves and their pet.
But on a lighter note, I do so love me some Casi Cielo. I must get there soon!
Jen
Maybe Hobbes meowing every three seconds mean he's gonna be laying eggs like Taz?
Both my cats have been very vocal lately. It seems as if they have something extremely important to say. Then they just fall asleep. I guess it couldn't have been that important.
I'm going to have to comment because trying to roll my eyes and suck my teeth at the same time would only confuse me.
I love me wii fit to. But that strange grown or Ohhh always makes me wince a little bit too.
Hugs!
I'm not a sports fan but I do love me some Wii - I consider it my sport of choice. Beatles Rock Band is BEAST!!! I have mini concerts with my husband in the basement on a fairly heavy rotation.
Quite a list but the meowing caught my attention--does Hobbs just need attention? Or is something wrong and that's why he needs attention? I hope the orange one is OK!
DG--Run, do not walk, to get some Casi Cielo!! You will not regret it. Although Joe keeps telling me to quit telling folks because it just makes our supply dwindle.
Lola--DanG! You need to get that cat fixed. Oh wait, that means more $$$$. Ugh. I think the only pet thing I saw on Wii is the Wit Fit Plus. You can weigh your pet and create a Mii. I call it a Mii-ow.
Hot Rocks--I have a lot of issues with Wii Fit. I don't like them ragging at you all the time and I HATE that insipid sound. It is very discouraging.
Helene--Oh, Helene, I hope you feel better soon! It's been a horrible winter for you. Bummer. Go get that Casi Cielo--you will LOVE it!!
Chuck--I'm not friending a dog. Not that I don't like dogs, but I just hate Facebook that much. I mean, really?! You're posing as your dog???! 2 words on the coffee, Chuck--Casi Cielo. Good stuff.
Vanilla--I hate Facebook. It's just not my bag.
Sharky--It scares me that they suggest that I can be "friends" with Emma's friends brother who is in the 4th grade. That's just creepy.
Pricilla--I'm friends with Daisy too. I just thought it weird that this person (who I don't know very well) is pretending to be her dog and is friending me. There is just something wrong with that.
Grace--I love that otter! See above for my reasoning. It's just weird to pretend you are a dog.
Buggys--I so suck at Rock Band. But I like to sing on it--that's all I can do, so I do it LOUD. It's fun to annoy the teens with my musical skills. :) I'm NOT friending a dog--no way.
Jen--Oh, do you like Casi Cielo??? We actually drive around to all the Starbuck's when it starts to go away around mid-February and stock up. Kinda scary. But not as scary as posing as a dog on Facebook.
Tracy--More like he wants to go outside--the outside that is warm and sunny like Spring. Not the cold and snowy winter outside. I think he is protesting.
JD--It's Cabin Fever, I'm convinced. He looks at me, meows, and then looks at his toy on the top of the fridge. He gets his message across. He is spoiled.
Ann--You can do it in steps--my kids do. I'm actually getting used to it. It's their special way of saying "I Love You, Mom".
Katherine--Does it do that to you too??! I HATE that sound! It is soooo discouraging.
Bee--I am so uncoordinated--I can't do the drums or the guitar on Rock Band!! I'm the designated singer, which is okay with me. The cats and the family--not so much, but I dig it. When in doubt, sing loud. (That's my motto)
Will Oaks--Oh, he is fine. He is bored and wants someone to play ALL the time. Or he wants to go outside, but it is too cold. He has a box to play in, a new fishing pole with feathers on the end, and a new scratchy box. He is just VERY people oriented and needs to discuss things a LOT. We are going to the vet on Friday, we'll make sure he is feeling well. Thanks for alerting me though. :)
Nate loves making all of us and his Pappy looks just like the real Pappy and he so loves to have Pappy doing things with him on their Wii and we crack up every time we see it.
Jude--That is fun with the Wii, isn't it?? I love when you do the bowling and your whole family is in the background. The Wii is a hoot. :)
Oh I hate that Wii sound too! It sounds like it's saying "holy cow woman, you are really heavy today!" I thought it was just me that it did that too - so glad it's not!
LOL even my dogs aren't on Facebook!
And yes, I hate the Wii noise when I get on it too. It makes me paranoid!
you're funny...and Rufus is heartbroken...lmbo!!
Every time I see that guy in that picture he reminds me of a young Donny Osmond (swoons).
You'd think I see that guy all the time. I've only seen him twice. Here on your blog. And last year sometime on your blog.
Beaded Tail--Oh, I'm glad it does it to you too! I don't like that and how negative the talking scale is. It just discourages me from working out.
Storm--Okay, so I'm friends with Daisy on Facebook, but that's different. I asked HER to be MY friend. This was a friend of a friend pretending to be her dog. It was just weird. No thanks. And NO, I'm not getting Hobbes an account.
Roschelle--I didn't even KNOW Rufus' humans and they want me to "chat" with their dog????! Yeah, no. And what do we talk about--if he licked himself today???
CG--Isn't he lovely? Gees, I loved Clayton Richard and I was so sad when they traded him. We were at a game and he was due to pitch, and while we waited for the players to warm up, they announced a pitcher change, saying that they had traded him. I was very, very sad. :( It will never be the same without "Chops".
Ha, a dog friending you on FB? Too weird. I have the regular Wii Fit and it makes the same sound, not cool.
