Away in a Flat, No Crib for a Bed

My container is stuck between London and Miami.Next week my family is going to be here. I have a loan futon and a loan chair, two lounge chairs and three bar stools. Oh! Let's not forget the twin air mattress.
Christmas is around the corner. I guess if Mary and Joseph could give birth in a manger, we could sit on the floor and eat grilled cheese sandwiches.

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 .....
