Why did I ever believe I could do this?

Yes I mean blogging on a regular basis. This could mean a few things. I have more of a social life that before. or. I go out too much. I have nothing to write about. Its not important. Nobody reads this thing anyway. All sorts of thing.

I have a weird dream last night. It involved old friends, family, a MCTS bus and a Applebee's style restaurant. There were a lot of people I didn't know also. I have no clue what that was about but my subconscious created it so I guess.

Well maybe I will make a better attempt at blogging.

I turned on my ipod this morning which I desperately need new earbuds for and then browsed to a song, I've got to have you by Carly Simon. This made me think that a person music collection must say something about them. I am sure mine would say she is just a few steps away from being absolutely nuts. I like whole albums not just one sone from here and there. Of course I don't have some single songs. For instance the Carly Simon song.

Well who knows.

Today's word: boundaries

I know I am slightly weird about my whole strangers being touchy but if you have been in the situations that I have been in, you would more like see my point. Today I had a close encounter, a stranger appeared from what seemed like nowhere and stood like 2 inches away from me while I was trying to pay for coffee.

I pay and had to side step my way out of the situation. I really do wonder why people stand so close. This does not improve my mood which is already on shaky ground. Anyway I went over to the coffee stand and hear that he is buying coffee. This is an 'oh shit' moment for me because now I have to speed through coffee pouring so we don't have a repeat occurrence. I did not make it. There he was again all over me.

I quickly gathered cream and sugar and high tailed it out of there.

What should I even make of today??

Someone turned my key

Well I am about to blur the line between reality and sci-fi/fiction. Maybe because I have started to watch the final episodes of the fading in popularity tv show Heroes again.

I will one day be horrifically murdered. That is if people start to gain the ability to read minds. Today I was at the bus stop with someone I deemed "weirdo factory". What does that mean? I later came to the realization that that doesn't make any sense but at the time it was an accurate description.

This guy must of entered the Starbucks shortly after I exited because he was clutching his Starbucks iced coffee and bakery goods, his ipod and a bag that I can only assume held his other technologies. Normally this behavior would have not set of alarms, not the "man this guy is weird" alarms. Except he was frigidity, the type that makes others around you nervous. Plus I learned this morning about a serial killer in Milwaukee. Which led me to believe that if this guy could read minds he would murder me on this bus and who would help me. The bus driver would have to stop the bus not leaving him with much time to help. Certainly not the woman talking to herself on the bus, obviously her mind is preoccupied.

It may be time for me to turn off the tv, at least for a little while. I believe this wild fantasy is indication that my brain has not been able to creatively express itself in a while. I just hope that telepathy remains where it is, in my tv.

Not Pants

So it is so warm out today and I hope that tomorrow we get similar weather for the Brewers game.

What does 'not pants' mean? I am wearing capris today to accommodate for the outside temp. The inside temp is still odd.

Stop it you're annoying me!!

I like to know stuff, about people, place and things. Sure some might call this compelling need to find information stalking. And if it is, I pride myself in being an non-intrusive stalker. Yes I might follow your every move on the internet but I don't in turn follow it up with a message to the person that I'm inquisitive about. I must say now that someone is doing it to me and will probably some how find my blog and will read this, I say stop it you are freaking me out.

ted.

So far so good

I had the goal of blogging more. So far I have. I just hope you all like what you get. From what I know about the internet you guys aren't picky about what you get as long as you get something.

Wish me luck in the weeks to come. As a result of the blogging more I have been twittering less. I need to find a good balance.

Happy Monday.

Happy New Year

Well I hope 2009 is great for everyone. I had a lot of fun last year and I hope to have way more this year. One thing I want to do that I can't make resolutions or goals.

Be happier in 2009 than I was in 2008.

My resolution will be the same as in past years.
Don't sabotage myself. (I will continue to make this my one and only resolution until I get it right. When I look back and think I made the best out of every situation, I can move on to another.)

My sub-resolutions goals. I think I will borrow from years past.

Learn to cook something new at least monthly.
Entertain more.
Read more. (I got to get serious about this one)
Write more. (non blog writing)
Blog more. (I slacked this year)
Go to more concerts. (I like music I should enjoy it live)
Become more organized.
Be less crazy. (I don't know if that is at all possible but we'll see)

Any body got any good resolutions or goals. I hope everyone has a great year.

Welcome to the world baby Ian Michael Ver Haag

One Laptop Per Child

So a digital John Lennon appears in an ad for One Laptop per Child. I don't know I think it is always a little weird(maybe even creepy) when dead people are undeaded (I know its not a word) for tv/movies and such.

What do you think??

It's Been A While

Well I haven't blogged in a while. Life sure does get busy. I know there is lot of stuff I would love to share. I want to do a music favorites list. I haven't ventured out very far musically but music that caught my attention I think have been very good.

So expect more soon.

The Space Heater

So today I come into my cube and there is a dusty space heater in here. Why? I don't know. I don't know it was manufactured by the Sears Roebuck Co. (which makes the thing older than me).

It didn't come with a note either. Weird I know.

Theories:

Someone wants to kill me (by "accident")
Someone wants to burn down my cube (by "accident")

I'll post a couple pictures then you tell me.






It says, "Source of possible igniton - high temperature. Keep combustible material away from front of heater."

I'm just say it looks suspicion.

ugh

I know that I am a little nutty so I thing I have the right to judge other crazies. I have deemed someone to be batshit crazy and to hear them talk incessantly for thirty minutes to an hour will drive me out of my mind.

If we're friends (and you don't work at UWM (in some cases))...

you can send me a text message that says "do you want to go to a fish fry on friday 4 my work fundraiser?"

and I will say yes (if I am not already booked) because that's what friends do.

ok I like fish.

Plus I am a sucker for raising money for good organizations and friends that need help.

If we're friends (without any stipulations of where you work)...

you could text me and say "do you want to go to Chuck E. Cheese so we can make fun of kids and their parents while eating pizza and drinking beer" I'd say yes because that sounds like a fun time.

There are tons of text messages you could send me and I would say yes to, except for maybe going to a dairy eating contest (and I'd think long and hard about this especially if it was and ice cream and cheese eating contest (i'm lactose intolerant - and I think I would go but not participate) before saying I don't know.

If we're not friends, I'd tell you to suck it and never text me again. (ok that wouldn't happen - I'd probably say no (and then when you asked why I'd say 'because I don't want to, get off my back').

I also think that I may be losing my mind.

A change in affliction

So I use to post about how bad my nose was behaving and although it still has its moments. I take a slew of meds for my allergies so my nose is ok. I made a post yesterday on Twitter about how the dentist was taking over my life. I have a dentist appointment to day in fact. I just had this really weird thought about what I could use as a replacement to the nose posts. Get ready for this...

"My teeth haven't fallen out yet"

I know it is bizarre which now makes me want to look up why teeth would just fall out without extensive trauma.

Well how did you spend your Labor Day weekend??

Well I went to Ikea on Sunday. Then I put together my chair and the dresser that I bought I am going to say June 13th. I know but its together and in my bedroom. Awaiting fresh laundry to be put in there. I think it may be time for me to throw away some clothes again.

So there are a few more things that I would like to purchase:

• a black 5-shelf bookcase


• some sort of table for my sewing machine


• folding table w/ chairs in case I never live in a place that has room for a dining table

Too busy to finish this but take this.

Pants-off

SO I was getting dressed this morning and while searching for pants I picked up the pair that I wore on Saturday for the Zorn b-day party. Then it come to me, the memory of the mustard incident. I was there to help out with party setup and then to have some fun. Well after setting things out we decide its eating time. So I go for one of my favorite, the hamburger. Well as I am trying to put on the condiments I realize that the mustard is not open. Being the self-sufficient girl that I am decide that instead of taking the help that Erin offers, I can open the mustard while holding on you my plate.

I put the mustard being my thighs so I can unscrew the top, I did that fine. Then I go to remove the pull lid which I did just fine. Except for the splash of mustard on the leg of my pants. Erin is getting a good chuckle as she says, "I told you I could help". Now I have to clean up the mustard which I thought I did. All the while Erin is laughing and telling my there is more. Yes I have mustard all over my crotchal region. Kinda funny. Not like that was the first time that happened. I have a incident at work with something white (I wish I could remember what it was).

SO to avoid this I say no pants.

Well I got nothing really

This post is mainly to force my friend Kim in to reading my blog she said she would read all posts where she was mentioned.

Kim the internet isn't a bad place.

Well yesterday was Jamie's birthday, we went to Hooligan's for drinks and dinner. I had one of each. Then I went home and watched some tv.

Oh while we were at Hooligan's we got yelled at by a woman asking for money. She was very pissed because we didn't give her. She also said that she wanted to have fun and drink, eat and other such things that we seem to be partaking in.

I understand that people get into situations. I understand that you aren't always mentally stable to take care of your business but don't get mad because other people can.

I know a little bit about struggle and I know that it can be hard to navigate at some times but there are people and places that will try to help you better your situation. The point of the story, don't yell at Kim and that guy that I can't recall his name.

Even with that I had a fun time.

I am annoyed right now

It totally something at work and I won't blog about it. Well I went to Kiel this weekend and got a little wastie. I don't know how it happened but it did. The parade was ok, nothing spectacular. Now I face another busy week.

Today I really need to go to the grocery store. I need lunch stuff for Great America on Wednesday. Then ingredients for stuffed shells for Italian night on Thursday. Tuesday is Harry's night. Friday is the first book club meeting where we will discuss The Kite Runner. Saturday I am double booked and I don't know what I will be doing Leah's having a going away party (she's off to teach English in South Korea) and Kim and Corey are having a housewarming party.

At some point I have to finish the book, which mean I am going to have to cut out some television. I hope the tivo is ready to work.

Wish me luck.

What to do

I am going to keep telling myself that i ma going to blog more until it actually happen.

So I got my remaining (2) wisdom teeth pulled Friday. I don't remembered what happened the last time I had an impacted wisdom tooth pulled because I slept through it. Yes with only local anesthesia. The weekend was something, I was in pain for most of it. I think the dentist tried to break my jaw. I still can't open my mouth fully. Which makes eating hard.

So I went out and bought SingStar 90s this weekend and sang a couple of songs. I know people are a fan of the 80s edition but I know this one is fun and I know a lot of the songs.

I think it is time for me to do a music moment once again on my blog. So that's what the next post will be about. Watch for it.

Oh Diddy (or whatever he is calling himself these days) has a new reality show starting today. Where people compete to be his assistant. I think I will watch just to see what his old assistants have to say.

Time

Did I get anything that I wanted to get done tonight done??

Well the big answer to that is no. I wanted to do laundry, didn't happen. I wanted to clean, didn't happen. I wanted to post on my blog. Ok that happened but just barely.

So today I went to see The Dark Knight. I must say that I loved it. I don't know what the pull is for me toward Batman. The Caped Crusader, right? There is something about vigilante justice that makes a good movie for me. The only good justice is justice you make for yourself. That statement I am sure will come back to haunt me I'm sure. Maybe when I am on trial. Anyway, I thought the Joker performance was great and I laughed maniacally at how truly off kilter the Joker can be. Well you do have to suspend belief. (Spiderman sucks - not the movie the character)

Going to see the movie has inspired me to put a new poll on my blog. I was told that it seemed a little crazy to go to a movie alone. Whatever, I enjoy my own company.

Well before I put that poll up and I venture off to bed, I have to make the statement that my eye hurts. I don't know if this is cause to worry but oh well.

Why I blog less

At first I thought it was because I was too busy. I now realized that I drink less wine and wine is the key to the success of every nonsensical blog.

Drink up.
