Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 22:21:04 GMT

One of my boyfriends, Netflix, is really pissing me off lately. Several years ago when we first hooked up, he was there for me, every day. If I mailed a movie back, I received a notification email the next day and would get a new movie in a few more days. Lately, it seems like it takes a week for them to mail me a movie. I think he is seeing someone else. They are always so loyal in the beginning of the relationship, have you ever noticed? However, the other day, I received a movie...

Clyde Drexler is no Emmitt Smith

Lately, I have been feeling much more overwhelmed than usual. Everything seems to come crashing down all at the same time. I have found that when a new year starts, I do not necessarily set goals for the year, but have found myself in recent years falling into the trap of saying, "Please oh please let this year be better." Basically, I would settle for it not sucking. I think I would be happy to make it through the next few months and be able to say, "That didn't suck...

Friday. . . HI!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've written here. I have had too many things going on lately and really was not motivated to share them here. I have seen lots of movies, read lots of books, watched lots of TV, and basically moped around. I hate it when I have no motivation to do anything. I cannot stop laughing at this commercial. It reminds me of those times when you do something stupid, like trip and...

This season's American Idol has brought out different feelings in me than usual. I must be feeling sentimental. Usually, I watch this show and size up the contestants and try to figure out who is going to break down under the pressure and who will make it, who is the better singer, all that boring stuff. After watching last night, I found that I was smiling when the camera would cut to the contestant's parents, and wanted to clap along with them and share their pride in their...

Today, while I was in the grocery store (trying to organize all my coupons to check out, but that OCD post with my new handy, dandy, coupon...

I've Got the Blues, the Reds and the Pinks

Flowers wither, but stone dies not. Beauty fades, but truth holds strength. Accept what, and who, you are. Endure. Do you ever have this feeling inside you that you have so much to say, and you just cannot put it into words? When will technology be so advanced that we can plug in a USB cable into our ear and the thoughts will just write themselves? Lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting about my custody trial in 2004. Any mother spends too much time obsessing about being a...

Earplugs are Wonderful Things

I had my suspicions, but they were proven true last night. I'm just not a Monster Truck Jam kinda girl.

Last night I had a dream that I was being chased by a man with a gun but I could not see his face. Luckily, I ran into Paula Abdul who was hiding behind a tree, and she showed me how to hide so he would not see us. It was kinda like the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. I am now officially a white trash redneck. I am taking my son and his friend to the Monster Truck Jam this weekend. We have nose bleed seats and I am happy because I do not expect it to be quiet in there. In fact,...

No Love From My Corner Store

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 16:01:43 GMT

I am boycotting my corner grocery store. They are dead to me. I will drive two extra blocks to go to their competitor. This is one of those corner stores that sells newspapers, candy, calling cards, cokes, etc. We run in there at least five to six times a week and the couple who own the store know me and always chat and say hello. Yesterday, I ran in there to get an early edition of the Sunday paper. I had been out running errands and had forgotten that I had just used all my cash...

I have never understood those paper towels that are perforated in different places so you can tear off a little piece instead of using a whole paper towel. It is so annoying to go pull a paper towel off the roll and one little square comes off. If those are made to use less paper products, I am defeating their purpose. I have to pull off more paper towel than I originally wanted just to get the size I need to use. I can't imagine what went on during a brainstorming meeting where...
