The LC

Catsup

Right, I know, been a while.

Tonight is the first night that Jake and I have been in the country alone for over a month I think.  With all the time I've been spending in the city, plus 51%'s Mom staying with us for three weeks, it just has worked out that we have all been together either here or there.  It is kind of strange actually to be alone...

But anyway, I have a few minutes to toss you some nuggets:

Easter: I can't believe it is this weekend.  It still seems like winter to me, I mean, didn't we just have Valentine's Day?  Sometimes Easter falls on my birthday, which is almost a month away. In any event, I have ordered the Honeybaked Ham, and we'll have a nice dinner on Sunday.  Or, I may scrap dinner and go here instead:

Spitzer:  Can't believe this for a minute.  It is always the completely buttoned-up, holier than thou types that end up in these scandals.  I would have never guessed this, and I feel bad for Silda.  She gave a great speech at last year's Empire Pride Agenda dinner, I instantly fell in love with her.

Bear Stearns Blind Item:  Which of your favorite bloggers decided that Bear's stock couldn't possibly go any lower and bought a bunch of it last week?

The Farm:  We are putting in a pool straight away so that we can be swimming come summer.  Really we are getting it put in for Jake, who LOVES to swim.  51% took him to Steep Rock this past weekend and Jake actually did a running dive into the river.  I'm told he swam for about 30 seconds until he realized how cold the water was. 

Summer Rental:  haven't.started.looking.     panic.setting.in.

American Idol:  I Tivo'd last night and tonight's results, so don't tell me.  I'm bummed that Hernandez got kicked off.  My favorites now are David Archuleta and David Cook.

The Hills:  Thank God.  Coming back on Monday the 24th.  Whitney and Lauren in Paris.  What could be better?

So work has been kicking my ass this past couple of weeks, I just haven't had time to get The LC updated too regularly.  Sorry about that. I'm like that guy you like that says he'll call but just doesn't get around to it. But anyway, it has been crazy but I have some mental post-its that I wanted to get up here.

• Barack - I am 100% percent for this guy.  I am spiritually lifted when I hear him talk.  He is like the very few inspirational leaders we have had in our history.  I hope he wins, but if not, I still love Hillary.  I just hope one of them can beat McCain.
• NIU Shootings - Terrible to have this type of thing happen again.  I only thank God there were fewer deaths than at VaTech.
• Jane Fonda - Cee U Next Tuesday is not morning show language Ms. Fonda.
• Why the hell is everyone saying this is a 3 day holiday weekend?  Since when?  Who the hell do you people work for? 
• Roidger Clemens - As I said below, this guy is sexy as hell when he is hot and bothered. Just wanted to be able to put up another pic. (who the hell knew the Trentonian was so salacious)

• I missed American Idol this week.  Tivo better have them or out the window he goes.
• Barney's Warehouse Sale started this week.  Attendance at Chelsea gyms drops dramatically.  I am always unnerved when I go upstairs with 51%'s mom and I see all these girls changing clothes in the corner.  What the hell is with their underwear?  Like, it is barely there. And tits flying everywhere. 
• Valentine's Day was awesome.  We went out to dinner the night before to LeGigot, had a great time, and we're making a big dinner tonight in the country.
• Speaking of the country, I am re-naming it the Arctic.  As soon as we get north of 84 it is like a different climate all together.  AND right now, about 80 feet of the hilliest part of our driveway is about 4 inches thick solid ice.  Last night I almost crashed the big truck into the little one. You'd think a 40,000 pound Denali could grip the ice.  Even more thought provoking - as I was sliding uncontrollably, my choices were to hit big jagged boulders on one side, a 80' tall tree on the other, or the other truck straight in my path.  I engaged the emergency brake (and pictured cat claws going into the ice), and once it finally stopped, took a breath, got out, and calmly went to back the other one down the driveway.  Then, I went back to the big one, released the emergency brake, and did the luge all the way down, somehow missing the other truck and my 68 Volvo.  Took 3 Xanax and drove the little one to Brewster to get 51%.  In a perfect example of how quickly we forget, took the big one out today, thinking that daylight would make this all easier, tried to get up the hill, and almost slid right into the well.  Tonight Mr. Big is spending the night at the top of the hill.
• Jake is obsessed with a stick that is frozen to the ground.  He keeps trying and trying to dig furiously around it to get it, tries to bite it free, but the fucking thing is frozen solid.  Sad to say but it is hilarious to watch.
• Still loving the new city apartment.  Still new places to order dinner from, and I'm wierdly obsessed with the fact that I have a 24 hour Duane Reade on the first floor.  I go twice a night just because I can.  And I buy nothing that I need.
• I've seen 2 different Maybachs in the country in the last few days.  Not a good sign.  New York is discovering our little town.

I'm sure there is more, but daylight is disappearing and I have to hit the grocery store before it closes.  At 6:00PM.  Yes, you read that right.

Have a happy Looooooooong weekend. Slackers.
