Attention Wal-Mart Shopper's

I was at WalMart buying a bag of Purina dog chow for my dog , in the check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Why else would I be buying dog chow, RIGHT ??? So on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again, and that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in inten..................sive care, with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a Perfect Diet and all you do is load your pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.) Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care, because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off a curb to sniff a poodle's butt and a car hit me. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Better watch what you ask me and be prepared for my answer. I have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say........................ now that you've read it I have to confess, I copied it from someone else.. share and make someone else smile today :)

PJ's the new casual dress?

Last night I was walking into the local CVS and passed not one but two women dressed like they were leaving a sleep lab. And to make matters worse they were flannel baggies with kiddie cartoon character's all over them.

So today I am driving my daughter to the dentist and on one street there is a woman mowing her lawn in pink flannel pajamas with snowmen all over them. I turn the corner and on the next street there's a woman playing with her inflatable Christmas ornaments on the front lawn in her flannels. Have pajama's become the new sweat pants? Did these people just wake up, or are they going to bed soon? Maybe they suffer from sleep apnea and fall asleep frequently. Dammit people put something decent on. If I wanted to see Doris Day in her PJ's I would watch the "Pajama Game"!

I can understand if it is the middle of the night and someone has a craving for ice cream, and just throws on some pajamas to go to Walmart or something. Or, if someone has a medical emergency, and these clothes were the closest things that they had to throw on after getting out of bed, (if they don't sleep in pajamas that is). But in the middle of the day, in public? This is just extremely lazy dressing, and that is exactly what people think of them when they are out and about outside. Is it so hard to just go the extra mile and throw on a pair of pants and a top?

I know many people leave the gym in sweats or yoga pants and quickly run a few errands before going home to shower and change. We all get that. Chiseling time to workout and capitalizing on the 24hourse we all have makes wearing workout clothes acceptable when pressed for time. But let’s make this perfectly clear…sweats and yoga attire are not pajamas. Yes, we may sleep in our sweats but rolling out of bed and wearing what you slept in out in public is not an approved etiquette-friendly decision.

It’s the public areas, where you are walking around in something others changed out of because they slept in them, that you are compromising your image and their comfort. If you are going to get out of bed and change into clean, unslept in pajamas, that may be more hygienic. But unless you wear a sign that says “These are clean, the slept in ones I changed out of”, people are still going to question your motivation for wearing something that’s supposed to be worn in bed.

I like to sleep in the buff, but you don't see me out and about wearing that now do ya? Just saying!

Well,I think I will get into my "pajama's" and call it a day my eyes are sore.

Bobby Valentine News Conference: Valentine Introduced as New Red Sox Manager

Highlights:

45th Club Manager

5:50 p.m.:  Valentine has made it clear throughout the process that he would love to have this job, and he's sticking with that now. 

Valentine says that he's going to exhaust his resources to find out as much information as he can before he gets going.

5:47 p.m.:  "I would hopefully have learned from mistakes [in the past]," Valentine said when asked about the tumultuous end to his tenure with the Mets and with GM Steve Philips.

5:41 p.m.:  Valentine says he's looking forward to speaking with the players after being asked about his on-air criticisms of some players when he was working for ESPN. 

5:39 p.m.:  Valentine seems pretty eager to separate himself from the late-season collapse in 2011. Not much surprise there. He's ready to move on from that by the sounds of it.

Valentine was on the verge of tears as he wrapped up his opening remarks.

5:36 p.m.: "I'm honored, I'm humbled and I'm pretty damn excited," Valentine says. 

"I understand. I understand how difficult this was for the organization because of the outstanding candidates. I understand the rich tradition of baseball in this city ... I understand the rivalries this team has. I understand the great talent that has been assembled."

5:34 p.m.: "I really look forward to working with him," Cherington says before congratulating the new skipper and presenting him with his Red Sox jersey.
