Your Topic Tuesday

-
"Update your blog slacker." That was the text I got today from my niece. Nice way to talk to your aunt, Puddin' Pants.

I thought it might be fun to try a theme day. I'm going with Your Topic Tuesday where I post about a subject picked by one of you. (If I have any readers left after my two week hiatus). So feel free to post some ideas here or send me an email at martinicartwheels@gmail.com. If I don't know anything about the subject matter, I'll make it up. You in? Cool.

Random thoughts about nothing:
  • One month on Nutrisystem - 9 pounds lost!
  • I have a cold.
  • Anyone have any thoughts on things you shouldn't miss on your first visit to Vegas?
  • Northampton Pride this weekend!

Dude, you got no excess to lose, so that 9 lbs. must be from takin' off your cowboy boots!
Sorry to hear you're sick. Sounds like you need to stay home today.
I'd give ya some hints, but you know what they say...what happens in Vegas....well.
Take care, CJ.

A must see, bellagio fountains at night time.
And if you want to get out of the city there's a cool ride through red rock canyon.

Great, now we both have colds. Next time no tongue.

Congrats on your weight loss. If you want some ideas of what to do in Vegas, watch "The Hangover". Some dandy ideas in there. I don't recommend peeing in Mike Tyson's pool though.

Nine pounds! You are going to be one hot mama at the poolside. Then we'll stop by The Sirens of TI and wonder where feminism went so wrong...!

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

The Ring, Part 2

Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin
