This is just me.... goofing around and saying whatever happens to pop into my head. I have to warn you that my brain is pretty much set to random mode at all times so this will probably reflect that. I also have to warn you that I usually operate in spurts so I'll have long periods of silence followed by bursts of nonsensical rambling... if you're cool with that then Hi! Welcome!
Awesome! Castles and cathedrals are awesome to me… i spent a lot of my non-drinking hours in Spain walking around and just being amazed at the architecture and the beauty of these buildings…. this took me right back. ♥

I’m still alive…
Been in a mental fuzzy place so I have neglected logging in here… I’m having trouble trying to juggle email (personal, work, and other work), FB, twitter, and this it seems which sucks because everyone uses something different and I ♥ someone on each too much to quit them… so I shall have to work on my juggling skills.
Updates- not much. Saw an old friend this week which reminded me that I miss my friends and need to make it a point to reconnect with those who provide a value add and spend less time worrying about those who don’t. Friendship= two way street. VERY important for me to remember… I have kids… they’re too old to coddle… so friends definately are. Don’t want to sound harsh because we all need a little coddling now and again- it makes us human. This, however should be the exception and not the rule. Say it again, my friends: Friendship= two way street.
Work- working on making a big change I never thought I would make… but only if things work out right. I will not follow my old pattern of making a change for the sake of needing something new and different and jumping into it only to find out later that it was a mistake and I am none the better for te change other than from an instant gratification standpoint. If it is right, I shall. If it is not then I shall not. That is all there is to it… but I hope it *does*.
Kids- kids are getting older which is making me realize I am getting older- fast. I lost a bunch of weight, look good for the first time in a long time, and think there might be a bit of that midlife “I look good and I want to have fun” crisis phase in me. Think the hubby and I need to come up with a little “no dogs, no kids, no worries” kinda fun… Now to figure out what to do… hmmm…
Weather is slowly and despite it’s best efforts getting almost spring-like. Not amused by the fact that today was mid-50’s and yesterday was mid-80’s. Can we maybe just get somewhere in the middle and stick with that, for fuck’s sake.
Ok, time to get the ankle biters to bed but wanted to get some sort of a damn update out here so I don’t feel guilty that I haven’t written people back… now I shall just point them here ;)
We find out Osama died.
Today is May 2.
Voldermort died May 2, 1998.COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT.
My theory on kids….
I think that kids are made so cute so you don’t kill them. I think kids exist to prove to us that it is possible to both love something and simultaneously want to choke the hell out of it sometimes. I think grand-kids were made so we can die happy watching our kids be tortured the same way they did to us… I think that’s why grandparents are so happy ;) Just a thought.
Grrr
I am so fucking tired of superficial people and their “me me me me” attitude. I need to realize that for some people it is all about them… so I should leave them where they are happiest- with themselves…alone. Done.
You always hear about a boy and his dog but I got photographic evidence that a GIRL and her dog can be just as cute :) Not sure who is enjoying cuddle time more but neither moved for a few hours until I forced the girl to get up to eat lunch. =D
Waiting until the last minute FTW?
I really need to work on my procrastination tendancies but I do have to say that aside from the stress it induces it works for me- I’m one of those people that do my best work under pressure. Trying to find a “happy middle ground” between how badly this stresses me out and how much it imporves the quality of my output is difficult. I think I need to accept that something might not be perfect but the quality of life value add is worth not waiting until the final hour… but how to take KNOWING this and actually APPLYING it proves to be difficult. I dunno… just a thought.
BACKGROUND: Major work thing tomorrow and slides due to my boss by the time he got into the office at 0730. I screwed around with the format and the pretty colors and font choice last night then went to bed. I started the content at 0645 and hit send at 0729… little too close for comfort on this one.
Banging hair
It’s amazing how much a really good haircut can improve your mood! Cut off four inches and got highlights and feel worlds better this afternoon and much more prepared to deal with the nasty schedule of work activities on the books this week that I’ve been kinda dreading. I guess having less hair to deal with= a less weighed down mind?
I once saw a bumper sticker that said,”Cinderella is proof that the right pair of shoes can change your life.” It took every ounce of being to not rip it off of that car and stick it across my forehead I love it so much. I’m a shoe girl… more exact, I’m a high heeled shoe girl… I love them. Nothing makes my day more than finding a beautiful pair of heels that look amazing and are comfortable enough to wear in a very large office building running to and fro to various meetings. These are my newest- and highest- pair but I loved them so much I had to get them. I actually cyber stalked them online for months before I finally gave in because I worried they were a little *too* high… but now they are here and I am happy :)
So it would seem the government should no longer allow menthol cigarettes to be sold because people can kill themselves with them… if this is the case they’d better also ban chocolate cake, french fries, beer, and anything else people use to harm their health. If we’re going to take away free will to harm ones health lets make sure we do it right because last time I looked I believe more people died from Obesity-related illnesses then smoking-related illnesses. It’s just socially ok to target smokers but a huge faux pas to say fatty, fat, or that someone is eating themselves to death.
Just in case anyone had any lingering doubts about what a classy lady Sandra Bullock was she yet again shows that she’s an amazing person…
