Friday is here again! Woo hoo
This was a HARD week. Every project I have been working on here has hit a brick wall, (ok, not just me, for my whole group!). Everybody in my circle is sick or has a sick relative, its been bad. My sister Jodi (Mush...from my first post) was admitted to Beth Israel on Monday with pneumonia and possible TB(!!!!), my nanny has been dealing w/terrible asthma and heart palpitations, my husband's family's dearest "matron" relative was in the hospital for a blood clot in her leg, and now we are told she has cancer, and my best friend's mom is STILL in the hospital trying to get off the ventilator. Oh yea, and both my kids have this weird fever thing on..its been rough week.
On a more positive note, I ran a race. I am not a runner, I am an elliptical trainer person, no impact, nice fluid motion. Running always knocks the crap out of me, and I usually avoid it all costs. But this year, when the JP Chase Corporate Challenge emails started flying at work, I decided to sign up. For a few weeks before I started running a bit on the treadnill, but it was killing me, so I stopped. Then Tuesday night, race night...uh oh! But I did it, I ran all 3.5 miles in 95+ degree weather, in 41 minutes! My only goal in this thing was to finish, and try to at least do a 12 minute mile, and I did, I ran, and beat the 42 minutes that I was targeting. But oh man, have I been paying for this. I have to walk downstairs sideways, and I have a constant stitch in my side. Today is the first day when I don't hold on to my desk when I stand up from my chair!
I am going to continue running I think... I say this now, but we will see. I can see why people get hooked on it. Now if I can just get rid of all the charleyhorses before I get back on the treadmill, or try to run on pavement again!
Time to get the hell out of Dodge

Battle of the Wonkas
Samantha went to a birthday pary yesterday, at the movie theater. They were seeing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , so I decided to tag along. We have basically raised Sammy on the Gene Wilder version, and Chris and I were ecstatic about the remake starring one of our favorite actors, Jonny Depp as Wonka.
Alas, we knew there was risk involved...whenever Tim Burton directs a movie, there is always risk. I was not impressed w/this newer version. It's not that I thought the Gene Wilder version was perfect either, it was not true to the story. Roald Dahl intended the book to be "dark", but Tim Burton went too far. And who told Johnny Depp to recreate Mr. Wonka in Wacko Jacko's image? I found myself cringing whenever he laughed, and began to worry that poor Charlie Bucket was in for more than a tour of the chocolate factory, and instead would end up hostage in Neverland!
The other thing missing was the "magic" of the factory itself. Not enough time was spent on the machines and the candy. That was the best part of the Gene Wilder version, the candy and the machines that made it.
And the Oompa Loompa's! I mean the Oompa Loompa! There was just one guy, and they used CGI to make it look like there were several oompa loompas. The songs were still a tale of lessons learned, but the Oompa Loompa was a bit creepy.
It was still an entertaining movie, but I am glad I got to see it for free instead of shelling out the $9.50!
Oompa Loompo Doompadee Do! (click for lyrics to all Oompa Loompa songs from the original version)

Bonus Schmonus
When I joined this lovely company that I work for(a very large Cable company), my compensation consisted of a salary and an incentive plan. Unfortunately, 2 yeras after I joined the company,Wall Street decided it was tired of giving telecom and cable companies capital....so...the incentive plans and raises were "temporarily suspended"..and I lost about 20% of my compensation.
(I should add here, that I am also an ex-MCI employee, who lost her shirt in the Worldcom debacle...by shirt I mean 7 years of 401K, my pension, and stock, totalling close to $200K! It was a bad financial year...and also the year my husband got laid off, and little Melanie was born. Bernie gets 25 years, and I have to work for at least another 25 years to get back what I lost!
BIG NEWS from Wall Street this week and yippee yay!! Long time coming, but YES! I am getting my dough.
Now for the pathetic part...do I get to buy a new car? NO! Do I get to buy some fancy clothes? NO. Why you ask? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! I have waited 3 years for this money, and I want to do something "fun" with it. As someone here said "put it in the Jamie slush fund" C'mon you WOHM's, you know how it is...whats their's is ours, and what's mine is mine! ;-)

Romero has done it again
We got to see Land of the Dead last night. It did not disappoint! Gory, scary, and freakily close to reality....it was awesome.
We were 2 in a crowd of maybe 10...but hey, it was a Tuesday night.
I love that this genre has migrated towards Zombies showing survival instincts. In the past, zombies have been dumber than dirt, coming across "food" by sheer dumb luck. 28 Days Later did have the speedy and super human strength zombies, but still...no instincts. Romero's latest zombies begin to remember things they did before they were dead, (like the gas station attendant who continues to try and pump gas,or the Zombie RagTime Band who is still in their park gazebo, making random sounds on waht is left of their instruments). It's brilliant, and I highly recommend this movie to all you zombie lovers out there

The hospital conundrum
If I ever get sick, please let me be sick at home!
So, my friends' mom is still in ICU, and now, thanks to her confinement in such a place, and having been intubated for so long, she has now contracted an ICU-related bacteria, that can prove life threatening should she become infected. Right now, she is classified as colonized, but has not been classified as infected. Basically, she is a freakin host for somthing that may end up killing her, and to top it off...she gets this because of the treatments she has been given to keep her alive while she battles pneumonia. How fucking unfair is this? I read some of the literature, and it is scary. It is antibiotic resistant, and even drugs that it does react to....can become ineffective as this bacteria has shown itself to become resistant to the very drug used to treat it.

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intenton killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profilecertain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of profiling.Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds andother dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwartcommon sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it,"Stupid is as stupid does."Come on people wake up!!!
I don't remember if I mentioned that I was raised by hippie parents, who taught me that peace love and happiness is all we need to live..."all you need is love"... Ok, I am not naive enough to believe that if all sit around and sing kumbayah that we will all be healthy, happy and properous. However, I have always believed that things like racial profiling are wrong and un-American. But when you look at the examples above, it makes you think....as Americans, are we so blinded by our principles that we endanger the lives of our citizens?
I am one of the lucky New Yorkers that didn't lose anyone personally on 9/11, and I was employed at Tower 2 in 1993 when the bomb exploded in the basement...luckily I was out "in the field" selling when it happened. But one of my closest and oldest friends was in the basement of Tower 2 when the 1993 bomb hit. She survived to relay her fears and nightmares, and moved on with her life. But on 9/11, working further north in NYC, she was shaken to her bones as she was forced to relive what she had been through only 8 years earlier.
Could 9/11 have been prevented if we used racial profiling before allowing things like pilots licenses, car rentals, airline ticket purchases??? Are we so American that we continue to be a victim to those who want us destroyed? Have I lost all of my flower child naivete? Its a very sad day when you begin to doubt what your parents value so much. This is what the people who target our country and the people of the countries who reached out to us in our time of need have taken from us. Our innocence is gone. I have never been a supporter of the war in Iraq, and I still do not agree with what we are doing. But what is the answer? how do we end all this? Anyone wanna grab hands and sing Kumbayah? I'm game if you are.

Are my eyes even open?
I am soooo tired today. The work day is just about done, but I was bone tired when I got in. Melanie has wet the bed 2x in the past 2 days, plus she has had several potty accidents in the past 24 hours. Not sure what is going on here, is she mad that I am back at work? Is she a normal 3 year old just having a setback? So when my sitter called me to tell me that Melanie was running a low fever, I of course jumped to the most logical explanation..."UTI!", but no, the pediatrician has assured us that she is fine.
I have not gotten a good nights sleep, as in more than a consecutive 2 hour block in several days now. My Origins "No Puffery" eye gel is becoming a daily essential! Samantha has taken to asking me why my blue eyes are black!
I went to the gym though, it wakes me up for a bit. Until about now...right before I have to get in my hot car and drive home. Where I will be met with 2 excited girls who can't wait to see their mommy...the mommy who will pretend she is awake and not about to keel over from exhaustion, but will somehow manage to bathe them, play with them, read stories, talk about our day... I treasure all of this, I really really do, but I am sooooo tired. Why can't I take a nap first? I promise I would be much better company if I could nap.

Firecracker Firecracker Boom Boom Boom
Happy Birthday America!
Is it wrong that we didn't see fireworks this year? Are my kids going to be scarred for life? Having grown up in Brooklyn, fireworks on the 4th (and of course the 5th...leftovers you know) are, in the words of the great Tevya, "Tradition". Living on Long Island, I have had to adjust what I consider how to celebrate the 4th. No block party, just random house parties, where some of them have fireworks, but no big "displays" or sharing with the rest of the neighborhood. While various houses in my neighborhood were beginning to light their assortment of firecrackers, roman candles, jumping jacks and pinwheels, my girls were tucked safely in their beds, sneaking a peak through their windows. Maybe next year we should drive down to redneck country and buy us some of them there explosives.
By the way, my husband tells me that he did have fireworks growing up on Long Island, but I am betting that he never saw his across the street neighbor light a belt of firecrackers from his 2nd floor terrace, that accidentally spilled over onto my next door neighbor's lawn under a tree, where a box FULL of various fireworks was waiting....can you say call 911??
We got back from Vegas a few days ago, we had a great time. Before we left, I was sort of ambivalent about going, my oldest daughter Samantha was upset that her pal Jackie couldn't come, and I knew I'd miss Brig and just the whole dynamic that we are so used to. But Brig was not able to come, her mom is still in the hospital, trying to fight this evil pneumonia. I think her prognosis has improved, but she had to have an operation over the weekend to help her healing along, and she is looking at least another 2 weeks in the hospital to recover from the surgery and get off the ventilator...the vent is the key. She has to be able to breathe on her own.
But our family of 4 survived the trip, and we really enjoyed ourselves. My sister in law drove out from southern California, and spent 36 hours or so with us, and it was really nice. All of our kids' cousins live in California and Hawaii, so we don't get to "visit" much. This was a treat.
Are you wondering why the word "visit" is in quotes? Did you ever get told by your mother, after spending an entire day (or even weekend!) w/her and the rest of the family, that is was nice to see you, but that we still didn't have a "nice visit"? Well, if it hasn't happened to you yet...BEWARE. You will not know how to react. You will only be able to roll your eyes as you walk away, or if you were lucky enough to hear this over the phone, hang up the receiver. Family!
