monday monday ....

monday was memorial day, monday was a day off from work, I didnt travel back from Massachusetts on monday because i didnt go there... i didnt travel anywhere.. I stayed in NYC...

Monday, i got up early... (all weekend..i got up early) each day about 7:30am.. Combination of going to sleep early and a cat who thinks its 6am. I used the time constructively..Yesterday, i spoke to my sister for a while (something i hadnt done in ages) Saturday, i talked to my dad and brother on the phone. Sunday, i walked and went to the grocery store. Yesterday, i showered and walked to the F train at Prospect Park. along the way, i saw a woman with a cat carrier. She had two little cats under a year old, one about 4 months and one 8 months. She saw a man release the 4 month old one in the park, and when she went to look at the cat, she saw the carrier in the trash, she rescued both of them and was taking them to her vet..

i tried to go to Porto Rico coffee place and it was closed for Memorial Day. i figured it was when i called the order line and they said the office was closed. They didnt mention the store so i went to Gormet Garage anyway. it was almost 1pm and i wanted to check out the street fair at Madison and grand central but i was feeling nauseous and took the bus uptown.. I ended up buying sandles at Modells and went through the street fair..
I saw the cosmetics counter and these three west side women or Long Island women who were treating the asian sales help like they were invisible..I wanted to say something but didnt..Just because they were working, doesnt mean they can be ignored over a 3.00 discount..

i went to 57th street and talked over to carnegie hall and took the train home..

i got home for oprah and made sauteed spinach with garlic and onions over these yam noodles that i bought..

i watched Nanny 911...(forgot it was monday) GO nanny Deb.. teaching communication skills to the MCBarrys who scream scream scream..

then i watched Hells Kitchen.. a chef who humiliates his contestants. the teams of restaurant help all want to win their own restaurant... some have experience, some not,
they had to cook their signature dish, Chef spit, curses and humiliated the cooks attempts,
the two teams had to simulate a restaurant with real diners..
Chef had to approve the dishes going on the floor...

He is mean and humiliating and cruel.. I dont like those shows that humilate people.. i turned off the first week or so of American Idol, i dont think making fun of people is funny.. These contestants, good or bad are trying or think they have talent. They can be told in a way that doesnt degrade them...

Hells kitchen is a disaster piece..
