random morning "lori thoughts"

1- i think im going to get a job as a weather-person on the news. ill have some kookie name, like 'susie sunshine', "lori lightning' or 'dallas raines', (oops...that one is already taken); and ill have a year round orange perma-tan. ill do a newscast saying there will be a huuuge snowstorm starting at 1am. then you wake up at at 4:30 and the streets look as clear as they do on a hot summers day; so i start my newscast saying "mother nature...blah blah blah....tricked us again....blah blah." and when if it eventually snows, (which it will), ...ill say, "see...there comes the snow!!!!....it was just delayed!"...(or some other version of that.) i could tooootally do this job. and i think it would be fun. until then...ill go get my kids stuff ready for school, because you dont have snow days without snow.

2- house foreclosures. the economy sucks, and you drive by all of these empty and forlorn foreclosed homes. its so sad. the homes look sad; as if they miss their owners. i wonder..."where did these people all move to?" they have to be somewhere and it costs money to be somewhere. so heres my thinking. why not just let the people live in their home? i mean...its sitting there empty anyway, and the homes look sad and unkempt. if people were living there, at least the homes would look nicer if someone wanted to come and buy it. why should people have to suffer on the "street" somewhere, if there is a perfectly good house just sitting vacant! and its theirs!!!  (by the way...i feel this way about the airlines too....with empty seats in first class) :) this sounds like a great plan to me. it actually seems like a total no-brainer; (which is most likely why i came up with this thought in the first place.) the only thing i cant work out...is how to deal with the electric/heating/house maintenance stuff. i dont think those could be comped, and unless you live in hawaii...you will most likey need heating or air. any ideas anyone????

3-i was in the hospital yesterday. routine treatment...and i repeat...ROUTINE TREATMENT!!!!! (i made the mistake of posting that i was on my way to the hopsital....and all pandemonium broke loose! but thanx for caring guys!!!:)) so instead of discussing all of the medical crap i was there to do, i decided to chat with my allergist about services they should offer in hospital rooms. you know...mani/pedis, massages. etc. serioulsy...youre there all day anyway, and why not check off some beauty things you need to get done while sitting there? i think its brilliant. serioulsy...totally brilliant. anyone out there who wants to make some bucks? start this business!!!! people. will. do. it. kind of like if you build a baseball field in the middle of an iowa field. if you build it. they will come. (tho to this day...im not really sure why all of those cars did drive to the baseball field in 'field of dreams' in the middle of nowhere. i would sooooo rather get beauty services at the hospital!) anyway....i think the discussion with my allergist went well. i think he agreed or at least saw some good points, because our discussion was like, 10 minutes. either that...or he was thinking, "who is this kook, and why is she wasting 10 minutes of my time that i need to spend on my other patients?!?!?) hmmm....id like to think that we were on to a new business. anyway.....if i have time, i will post more about my hospital experience later! :) 

till then....happy 'non-snow day', signing out...
