GottaLovet

I will be going to Africa (Nigeria) for the next couple of weeks and the posts wont be as frequent. Andy will still be here holding it down for me. I will miss him a whole lot and I hope to come back in one piece.

And to all of my gottalovet.com readers…please have a very Happy Holiday. I promise you I will post pictures (and videos) when I get back.

The Angels are singing tonight because Andy just admitted to me that he was WRONG! It was nothing serious but he brought up something which was very comical and I told him that it couldnt be true and he was emphatic that it was. He requested that I research this information and Boo Yow! He proved himself wrong. Hee Hee Hee!!! Let me tell you what happened…

While I was busy watching HGTV, Andy interrupted my regularly scheduled program to tell me that in case I am ever in a situation where I am being robbed at an ATM, I should input my pin # in reverse and this will prompt the police to come to my rescue and apprehend the suspect. Well he didnt say it in those words, but you get the idea.

Andy then went on to say that he got an email from a friend stating this information. Then I ask Andy, “Who sent you this email?” And he mentioned this “friend” who I dont care for too much. I told him, “Well if this email came from this person, then this information is definitely UNTRUE.”

Then I asked him if it’s true why dont the banks tell everyone about this. He said that its really true and that I should research this myself. So I looked it up on GOOGLE and I found an article that said Pin reversal to fool muggers is a HOAX. Hee Hee Hee! I’m sorry its really hard for me to type and laugh at the same time. Anyway, this article popped up and I laughed before I even read the headline to Andy. He asked me why was I laughing so I read the headline and he was shocked. He really thought this so called “pin reversal” mugger deterrent would bring the cops running. Its B.S.!

Andy then apologized and I burned a few extra calories from laughing. I thought the whole thing was cute :-).

BERLIN - A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.

The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.

New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.

Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.

A doctor called to the scene determined he had possibly life-threatening alcohol poisoning, and he was sent to a Nuremberg clinic for treatment.

The man, whose name was not released, is expected to be able to complete his journey home in a few days.

I wonder if he would have drank a bottle of Wray and Nephew Jamaican Overproof Rum?

I love this headline by the New York Post. It’s a play on words in case no one caught that. If you still dont get it–take your time and read it again. And if you still dont get it, then you’re out of luck.

I wonder how this happened. That’s why guns should only be for police officers and military. No one else.

I think Johnny Depp is a great actor but weird. And with his new movie, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street I thought it was interesting but I wasnt jumping off my seat to watch because I hear its a musical. But I may watch it only because again J.D. is a great actor but most importantly his co-star Helena Bonham Carter’s character name in the movie is, you guessed it, “Mrs. Lovett” :-).

No, I’m not self absorbed, but while I was growing up I always thought my name was unique and I that I was the only one with that name. And when I hear (or see) my name, I feel so special. Now I realize its more common than I thought but it’s still unique in comparison to other names.

Anyways, since I’m traveling next week and the movie doesnt come out until later this month, I will try to see it once I get back.

Today my mom and I went to NYC to stop by the Nigerian Consulate to get our visas. We still dont have our visas since we were given the run around but my mom will go back tomorrow with all of the paperwork. Anyways, we were getting hungry so we decided to go to this Chinese restaurant near Canal St. My mother has been there about 3 times now and she loves their food. The restaurant is called New Green Bo Chinese Restaurant. The food was great. But dont go by me because I’m used to eating at those unauthentic Chinese food restaurants.

We sat down at the restaurant and they served us tea. My mom ordered for me and since the portions were big, we shared. She ordered the scallion pancake. It’s an appetizer. It cost about $1.50 and it was big and tasty. Even the sauce that comes with the pancake tastes good. For the entree we had the pan fried seafood noodles. That was good too. And since New Green Bo is known for their dumplings…we had fried pork dumplings. They were good too. I was very happy with the food. And the price was ridiculous. For food for two, we paid only $18.75 with drinks (not including tip). Oh, I’m definitely coming back.

I have about eight days to go until my trip to NIGERIA! I am so excited. I need the vacation. I just hope that I (as well as my mom and my lil sis) have a safe trip. I will really, really, really miss Andy. Andy be safe. I’ll be back.
