See ya soon kids(hopefully)

I'm at the airport, waiting to board. I don't want to miss the opportunity to blog, since we get into Miami late, so I'm quickly letting you guys off the hook of reading anything of mine tonight. I know it's not interesting ANYWAY but ya know.

So hey, one of the TSA officials was on her cell phone while checking boarding passes and ID's. One guy was coloring instead of looking at the xray machine. Oh Airtran. You never cease to amaze me.

Moving My Lips, Forming A Smile

These things made me smile in the last 24 hours:

1) Vicky Cristina Barcelona
2) Being a rockstar at work
3) Portia di Rossi in "Better Off Ted"
4) Buying "The Hangover" which will allow me to remember such great quotes as:
"Not at the table Carlos."
"They should call them floories...or rapies."
"Is that a man purse??....IT'S A SATCHEL!"
"Do you know if the hotel is pager friendly?"

5)Knowing that I'll be on a plane to Miami in less than 24 hours.
6) My co-worker Jared cursing the world because he lost another hubcap on his new Jetta. AAHAHA. Ok, sorry J.
7) The maple cinnamon bun I bought from Ohlin's Bakery this morning.

Hey kids, I'll be traveling the next few days, but will be blogging from my phone or when I have a second at the hotel. Don't forget about me, k?

Smooches and Toblerone kisses,

Lovin' It

Because it's the holiday season, I'm about to share with you a few things that I'm currently jonesin' on. You don't have to check them out or even care, but I've fallen in love with:

1) Temple Bar in Cambridge
I went there for brunch yesterday with ManLosch, DiDi and Paul. OMG SOOO GOOD! The homefries were amazing and the bacon was just perfect. Wanna go? Let me know, I'll sooo go back soon.

2) www.freekibble.com
You visit this site daily and answer a trivia question. You don't have to answer it right, but everytime you answer a trivia question 10 pieces of kibble are donated to local animal shelters!

3) The Vitamin String Quartet
Awesome group of strings that remakes modern songs like "Seven Nation Army," "Flashing Lights," and "Love Lockdown." Awesome stuff.

4) Beatbox Harmonica
This is an amazing song that's maybe not even quite 3 minutes, but it's exactly what the title of the song dictates. And it makes me want to shake it all over the place.

5) Soul Pancake
I'm diggin this site. Srsly. Check it out yourself or when amongst friends and wait for the conversation to fly.

Productive LaLosch

9am (maybe a little late) breakfast with Nora?
Check. And my chocolate croissant and part of her maple frosted bun? AND eating both with mocha flavored coffee at her apartment? AMAZING.

10am Mass?
Besides the old man who gave me my Jeezit and I noticed he had dirt caked under his fingernails? Besides the screaming orchestra of rugrats? Besides the baptism we weren't prepared for so Mass took a little longer? Eh. It was alright. I sucked it up.

11:30am Crockery?
Check. Placed my pork roast in the crockpot to make pulled pork later.

12:00pm Brunch at Temple Bar with DiDi and Paul?
Check. OMG SOOOO good. And the conversation wasn't too bad either DiDi. :)

2:45pm Outlet Shopping?
Check. Bought the ManLosch his Christmas gift. Got my cousin a gift. Got the ParentalLosch gifts. Got myself a cute little shirt.

4:30pm Best Buy?
Check. Got my mom an AWESOME gift.

6pm Home?
Damn homie. Pulled the pork which fell apart very tenderly. Started some black bean soup for a side dish and for lunch this week. ManLosch vaccuumed and went to the store. He also ordered some gifts online and I painted my toes. All before 8pm. Damn we're good.

10pm?
Shit. Watching tv. Relaxing. Wondering why Oprah just got kissed by the President and I'm stuck at home in my sweatpants, looking terrible. Ready to snooze. Productive Losch. Yes. Amen.

Night.........

Volunteering is Ridic Awesome!

ManLosch and I volunteered with the kitties again tonight. If we for sure knew that Jordan would get along with the cats, we might adopt one. So we're volunteering every other weekend now, and we may do more during the week if we can. They are soo adorable. What WASN'T adorable was when we let one out on his own and he knocked over his entire food bowl. Or the cat who hissed and tried to attack BOTH ManLosch and I. Otherwise.....they are awesome. :)

LoschDog: IQ 200

The LoschDog, also sometimes referred to by his common name Jordan, has been wearing the e-collar again. He's been licking his paws again due to what our lovely vets call "seasonal allergies." So he's wearing it to keep him from further irritating his paws. We've probably spent over $1000 at the vet for them to send us home with the same shit that doesn't work.

Well, Jordan has outsmarted us all. He has found a way to lick his paws WITH the e-collar on. I didn't think it was possible, but he figured it out last night. So this morning he was going to town on his back paws and ManLosch says to me over the phone, "Um I had to put the booties on him."

When I got home, apparently, the booties had long come off because he pulled them off. So I caught him licking his paws again when I got home and I said, "Okay, booties are going back on." See the above picture of the back paws outfitted with booties.

I have video of him walking with them on because he looks like a horse and you should watch it below....hilarious to me. Either way, I'm floored that he can still lick his paws even with the e-collar on. That $25 collar ain't doin shit.

So My Wife Thinks She Can Dance

I watched Tuesday night's "So You Think You Can Dance." There's the part right after the dancer does his/her solo where they give you the phone number to vote for your favorite dancer.
So on this season, a married couple has made it to the Top 8. They've never danced together, but they are ballroom dancers. The wife, Ashleigh, had a slipped shoulder or something. It fell out during rehearsal for a Bollywood routine. So she couldn't perform, BUT they are letting America vote for her anyway. The husband, Ryan, just did his solo, right? He was dancer # 8. And the host always lets the dancer say their number. She she says, "To vote for Ryan, call 1-866-Tempo-0_"

He says, "1. Please, don' t forget Ashleigh, she worked so hard....please vote for her, she really deserves your votes. I love you baby."

WHAT?! DUDE! This is a competition. Your number was 8. Tempo08, not 1. You're still competing against her, and you tell America to vote for her, AND YOU CRIED WHILE YOU SAID IT!!!

Totally ridic. Sorry man. You're stupid. Your wife's arm is in a cast. Take advantage of it!!! Ridic.

In Case of an Emergency

In case of an emergency crash landing on the ground or in water where the plane will most likely immediately break into millions of pieces or submerge itself in water, please remember, NO SMOKING AT ALL TIMES.

In the event of such crash, remember:
Cross your arms on the seat in front of you if you are a minority.
If no one is sitting next to you, wrap your arms around your legs in such yoga position and stare at your awesome shoes that you got on sale at DSW.
If traveling with a small child, remember to yoke the kid up by his neck and force it down. Pressing down onto the back of the child's head will ensure definite survival while you burn.
If you are expecting and traveling, well uh....grabbing the back of the seat isn't going to really help you. But no effort is gone unnoticed. At least you were not caught smoking and you earned some double miles today.

Thanks for flying with us, but you really shouldn't have choosen us today. Sorry about that. The drink service will begin when the cans and bottles are flying down the aisles uncontrallably.





(P.S. Thanks to everyone who commented on the "Damn You Karma" blog. I used www.random.org again. Congrats to Stefanie! You'll be receiving a $15 gift card from Target shortly.)

Airtran Sucks

First, we decided we don't like this kid. He's been all up in my shit aka my business, everytime I say something.

Second, the flight attendant yelled at me for placing my jacket in the overhead because bags weren't in there first. I said, "but there's nothing in there." He said, "Ma'am. Ma'am. Just take it out." I've already made it loudly known that I was not happy. My co-worker said, "can I put my jacket up?" I said, "Does it have wheels?" He said, "No." So I said, "then no."

WTF?! This is some recockulous shit.
