Water Adventures

In the last week I have had so many different water stories that they warrant a post.

Saturday
I got the keys to my new place on Friday naturally I set out on Saturday to start doing some cleaning. This plan came about on the Saturday morning when I was still fresh and fruity. By the afternoon I was exhausted from all the errands I had to do but still I couldn't put it off.
Armed with buckets and brushes and all kinds of sprays I set out to tackle the bathrooms first. I started out with my small guest bathroom. Water flowed like kids playing in the garden on a rare sunny summer day. Half an hour later I emerged wet but satisfied to go to the next assignment.
As soon as I turned the corner the sight of a lake in my main bedroom greeted me. The whole room was full of water. What in the world! I checked everywhere but I couldn't see where the water could possible be coming from. Behind me was dry so it couldn't have been the water ballet I just danced. It couldn't be coming from the main bathroom because that was dry as well.

Tuesday
Remember how much fun you used to have as kids. Watching my niece and nephews run around and squeal of laughter just because. Somewhere along the way we loose that innocence and start bitching about birthdays and rain. Fun becomes a mandatory thing and we forget to enjoy moments. So Tuesday afternoon I went on the balcony and I danced in the rain.

Wednesday
It's three in the afternoon and it is dark outside. Lightning and thunder are playing tag outside. Rivers of water are running where there never was water before. And I am waiting for the Disaster Management Team to tell us that we can go home.

    The previous renter forgot to plug the heating pipe. Took his heater with him and forgot to plug the pipe.
    Actually I am sure it was a woman as the bedrooms are painted purple and blue.

Celebrity spotter 10, 9,...

I added a new item to the list. Take pictures with 10 celebrities. Celebrity 10: Las t Friday we went to Jamie's new restaurant in Covent Garden. Standing there looking at the menu, I saw Gennaro. I've seen him on Saturday Kitchen before and remembered him because he said he didn't cook with olive oil; he only uses it for salads because it burns faster. Or so I remembered. After a lot of whispering I finally decided to approach him. So I asked him if he was the chef on Saturday Kitchen and if he was the one who doesn't cook with olive oil. He said No! I think that chef should be shot. I'm Italian and all Italians cook with olive oil, he says. He spoke with us for awhile and then moved on. Sitting there waiting for our food is when I added this item to my list. Gennaro is my first. After a very nice meal, we walk out of the restaurant and who do we spot? Louie Spence from Pineapple Dance Studio. Everyone loves him. He is just the most entertaining person to watch. Wo...

The Life of a Celebrity

I made the papers. Not once ... but twice! Yes y'all, my name and picture are in the newspapers and I didn't even have to commit a crime for it. All I had to do is my job. First article was all about the upcoming Census and our cooperation with the marking bureau. http://www.thedailyherald.com/islands/1-islands-news/10071-department-of-statistics-prepares-for-census-2011.html When I woke up that morning I ddin't realize I was going to be in the picture. I thought it was going to be just my Department Head but no! There I was in my bright pink shirt. Later that week we did the trainings for the Pilot Census and Bam! there I am again. http://www.thedailyherald.com/islands/1-islands-news/10214-statistics-dept-holds-final-training-for-pilot-census.html (Un)fortunately the picture is only in the papers and not on the internet. And just now, I am sitting at my desk waiting for the radio people to interview me. People here like my 'british' accent so should I thi...

Alone in the Office ...

Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. Maybe I have an active imagination, maybe have read too many books, maybe I have watched too much internet entertainment. I'm here working late, got to be ready for the holidays, right? Everyone has already gone home, Christmas shopping or just out having fun. Me? I am here enjoying some Ne-Yo ... One in a miiilllion parapapa. That boy is good. Even my Miss Independent self got to admit that he does make me go ooooohhh haaaaaa. Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. I start to think about hunky cleaners coming in after hours or an IT geek working long hours not realizing there is another person in the building. He makes himself comfortable .... really comfortable. See the air-conditioning can get very cold if you have been sitting in it for hours. I can understand that one might turn it off ... and then it gets to be sweltering hot. If you are wearing a suit and tie, you get hot. Really hot. Oh! Don't you know it .....
