I do my friends, I do.

Remember when you donned your favorite salmon colored cable knit sweater for picture day because even then you knew deep down that cable knit was forever.

I do my friends, I do.

Remember when you didn't have your own sense of hair-style so you and your Mom just shared a hair-style.

I do my friends, I do.

Should I just post this picture of little dancing kids, probably.

Oh, how this article (posted on the good ol fb by a friend) takes me back to my orchestra days. 

The day in 8th grade where I tried crying in front of my best friends parents (a.k.a. the middle and high school orchestra directors) to convince them to let me out.

The day a few years ago when I discovered an old monthly practice card where clearly I hadn't put in the alleged 30 minutes a day or I would have been better, right?  I mean, you would think.

Not when I was feverishly moving my fingers in time or trying to remain under-the-radar did I ever stop to think that the guys in the section might be dealing with scrot-issues such as this.

]]>cocks!http://www.thelagniappe.net/the-lagniappe/2009/1/28/cocks.htmlGina Gatto2009-01-28T02:31:00ZDue to this whole knee-surgery-recovery shenanigan which limits my radius of neighborhood mobility and the fact that the Slope's B&N has nada tiny calendar selection, it's taken me 3+ weeks of the new year to procure 2009's small wall calendar for my working-cube.


At the low price of $4 per calendar they must have been flying off the Borders shelves because my only options were:

dragons

transformers

and

proud rooster

]]>happy new year to you toohttp://www.thelagniappe.net/the-lagniappe/2009/1/23/happy-new-year-to-you-too.htmlGina Gatto2009-01-23T03:59:34ZThat last post was good for reading over and over and over wasn't it, since December 4th? No! No it wasn't, that was a huge test and everyone I mean EVERYONE failed. What if the PeTA people had come and taken me away because of my harsh lash out against their stupid plea for people to stop eating fish. Deal with it PeTA! Fish are delicious and what are people who claim they are vegetarian supposed to eat for nutrients if they can't have fish, sea kittens, fish whatever.

Wait though, back to the rant at hand. No one stops and thinks hey I hope my favorite blogger isn't in grave danger she hasn't posted in awhile. Not one of you 7 (that might be being generous) people said ANYTHING. If you see something, say something. If you see nothing, say something.

The truth of the matter is I have not heard a peep from PeTA, really my absence is due to the break I took back in mid-to-late December to experiment with having another person's Achilles' tendon fashioned to replace the shredded piece of tendon that used to be my makeshift ACL since 1998. Basically, I had surgery, I know that was a lot of big medical words and also acronyms, but that's the short of it.

But I'm ready now, ready to feel funny again. Here we go '09.
