http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ My thoughts and observations about my life and life in general. en-us dandysue@gmail.com 2009-08-31T02:21:38+00:00 hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000352.html So I sort of got distracted by my work on www.officebeets.com and forgot about this blog for awhile. It has been fun working on that site although I have no real blogging skills besides the two lines of HTML that Asa taught me. I still feel cool (in a geeky way) every time I use them. I have had almost 4,000 visitors from all over the world. Not that much I know but we always say in theater that you have to give the same performance even if there is only one person in the audience. I was mentioned on... 352@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2009-08-31T02:21:38+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000343.html I'm still waiting on my new used car, an Infiniti i35. The current owner is waiting for the title to be sent from the bank. I am dying. In the meantime I am driving an old Olds that I borrowed from my parents. Two of the four doors are broken, it burns oil and has no air-conditioning among other things. Asa and I have been making an effort to build a storehouse of good memories lately. So, last week we went bowling for lack of anything better to do. I must say it was too expensive for what it... 343@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-10-16T03:53:48+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000339.html I'm so excited about the Season 4 DVD of The Office. I has so many deleted scenes and the bloopers are the best yet. The Target Deluxe Edition even included my question to Andy Buckley at The Office Convention. Even better talk for a second convention in May is circulating. The Office is back on iTunes and new promos for this season are out!! I can't wait two weeks. Note quick view of Jim kissing Pam in her dorm room at art school! Antother promo that aired tonight:... 339@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-09-12T04:54:35+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000335.html Oh, back to school. Oh, I have no words. But one good thing, I have until the first snow day before I have to watch another Wilford Brimley "Diabeetus" commercial. Seriously, it drives me insane. I thought it was just me, after all being a speech therapist I tune into these things. But as it turns out, other people are obsessed with it to! Funky Wilford There are many of these videos out there, some of them animated! I feel so much better. I also found a comment out there that I feel sums it up perfectly: strategy for selling... 335@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-08-21T01:40:03+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000333.html I just came across a certain video and got fired up. But then realized it wasn't all bad. I have run into people that don't seem to realize that the constant battle for the rights of the unborn is at an important place. Just listen to Obama, he acknowledges the distance that 'pro-lifers' like me have made in ending what I feel is the holocaust of the unborn. We support The Center for Bioethical Reform, shown here at good ole' BGSU He even dares to thank Planned Parenthood on behalf of all men!!!! I interpret that as thank you for... 333@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-08-08T02:24:29+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000332.html Thanks to Amanda for introducing me to this hilarious musical!

That's me tonight. It's about 2:30 a.m. and I thought I would write this entry. I would wait until tomorrow but I think I would chicken out. But if this helps one person understand then it was worth it. I am recovering from severe depression and doing well. I guess this post is my reaction to all those who have indicated that I should just "snap out of it". For all those terrible people at the hospital who lied to me, took... 331@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-07-23T07:56:51+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000330.html I finally got around to thinning down and posting some of our animal adventures in from Mexico. Check out Asa's face when he is given a second ride by the dolphins. I love it! It dosen't show our free swim with the manatees who are so sweet and lovable. The stingray scared us!... 330@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-07-19T03:42:55+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000329.html This is the best Office fan video I have ever seen and there are many. Also the office summer webisodes began last Thursday I love Kevin! Finally, if anyone wants to get me a gift in the future, I want these! I would also like someone to play them with! http://www.clearspring.com/widgets/487423dde2f0ebc6... 329@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-07-17T18:53:32+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000328.html Nothing gives me my daily dose of cheer like cuteoverload.com It is also responsible for my new lingo. Saturday is no longer Saturday but Caterday. Sunday is now Bunday. This clip put me over the edge the other day, totally redonkulous to have all those buns in one room!... 328@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-06-27T23:18:16+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000327.html Ever seen it? I just watched it on my 12 x 16 foot screen which Scott F. helped me to operate in my parent's new house in Arizona overlooking a vast snow capped mountain range. I discovered our theater when looking for damage from the two tornadoes that hit while we were swimming in our pools. Scott had just stopped by to return a music textbook he borrowed from me back in high school. Sometimes it's a real bummer to wake up! I have never even seen "Out of Africa" perhaps now I never will. I miss that house... 327@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-06-27T22:45:02+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000326.html Well if you are still there, I'm back! Last December my computer went nuts and then I went nuts and I couldn't blog. But here I am all set-up again. Asa and I just got back from Vegas, it was so much fun!! Check out our pictures! Asa was there for a conference and since he already had a room and food and such I just got a plane ticket to join him. Vegas wasn't exactly what I had imagined it would be but it was great! We saw Jubilee! and I was surprisingly comfortable with the topless girls. The... 326@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2008-06-11T18:14:45+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000322.html So it was a great day! I slept in until 11 and then made a late brunch. It started to snow soon after and it was a beautiful sight. I thought it was going to snow until we were trapped inside but it didn't. The mailman didn't even have trouble getting to us. I got the best surprise today!!! A signed autograph of Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) He wrote, "Mandy- join my army of champions! Rainn Wilson" it was on a picture of Dwight peeking out of the conference room during the Health Care episode in season one were he... 322@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2007-12-16T05:42:21+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000321.html Well I have to go back to work tomorrow. I'm pretty nervous about facing that place again after being off all week. I began getting sick on Sunday and losing my voice. It is just now coming back but is still pretty rough. I went to the doctor and she recommended that I stay home take some antibiotics and go on vocal rest. It really helped but now vacations over. I wish I had gotten more done during my break but I was too sick so I slept most of it away. What makes it interesting is that I began... 321@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2007-12-06T03:29:56+00:00 http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/archives/000320.html Woe is me. I couldn't even get out of bed this morning, well not without a lot of difficulty. See Thursday is the craziest day of the week!! The only this that has gotten me through the work day in the past is the knowledge that I would see The Office once I survived it. But that is over. :( It sounds like the writer's have been given another offer package to include new media so hopefully the strike will be over soon. But today just wasn't the same. So instead of watching the season 3 re-run that was on... 320@http://www.schemer.com/bourea/journal/mandy/ personal 2007-11-30T03:00:50+00:00
