Yeah, yeah, I know...

I'm horrible at this shit. I'm lazy. I do other stuff instead of blogging. Oh well!

I had a great "first line" the other night and I literally dropped everything I was doing just so I could write it down. Maybe it's the start of something good...

A New Year, Another Promise

I vow to write more, or at least try to be a little more productive in the coming year. I haven't accomplished much this year, but I will really really work on it this year...

My poor poor hand...

I just spent the past 2 hours writing out 35 Christmas cards. I'm very positive I've forgotten some people, although I'm not sure who...I guess I'll just send out a few more towards the end of the month to make up for it. I haven't sent out cards in a few years due to me being extremely pregnant last year and just moving to my new house the year before. We got three in the mail today, so I took that as a signal to get my ass in gear and get them out. I'm proud of myself for finishing them but my hand is cramped and my forefinger and middle fingers are sore as hell.

For lack of better things to write...

five things on my to-do list:

1. get caught up on my laundry. my daughter apparently has more clothing than i do.
2. watch "american gangster". i've owned this movie for almost a month now and i haven't bothered to open the cellophane yet.
3. run the vaccum. the in-laws are coming over on saturday...
4. play "viva pinata" one more time before my xbox live gold account subscription expires.

five things i would do if i were a millionaire:

1. pay off all my debt, brad's, my parent's, and probably other select close relatives
2. buy a new honda accord, 4 door of course...
3. throw some money at CVES and CVHS...they always need new things and funds are usually pretty tight.
4. travel in europe. not backpacking, that's for dirty hippies. and i'd take a cruise ship across the atlantic, no flying for me!
5. liposuction. no matter what i do, i can't get rid of this damn sack of a stomach that kayleigh left me with 10+ months ago.

i'm not going to tag people, i'm not really sure who actually reads my blog...

Michael Crichton

I read "Jurassic Park" when I was 10, before the movie came out. I have a severely ear-marked copy of it (white paperback, black t-rex sillouette) that I've read dozens of times. I also read "Disclosure" (didn't like that one too much) and "Timeline" (the movie was better). And of course, who isn't an avid follower of "ER"? (well, not the new season anyways.)

He had such a great mind, even if the media thought he was kooky for "State of Fear".

You say "tomato"...

I got into an argument with a coworker today about this: when you say the word "the", do you pronounce it like "thuh" or "thee"?? And when you say the word "a", as in "I took 'a' bath today", is it pronounced like "ay" or "uh"?? I've found out that I use both pronunciations of both words, mostly depending on the sentence I'm spitting out.

It's nice to know that my air-headed associates actually think of stimulating topics once in a while.

Blah Blah Blah!

I'm at a "blah" stage right now. I feel so apathetic about everything in my life at this point in time and I can't bear to try and be creative about my writing. Hell, I'm down to about two blogs a week, if I'm motivated enough. Most nights, my brain is so revved up that I cannot calm down and I resort to either a "House" marathon on USA (very serial-like, each episode is virtually the same) or playing mindless card games. Each night, I fall asleep with Stephen Colbert (when I'm able to go to sleep on time), and the next day repeats itself. I hate working weekends, it sucks the life out of me and leaves me with almost no time for my family & friends.

Blah blah blah.

I almost wish I could go back to working part-time, but if I were to do that, Kayleigh wouldn't go to daycare any more and I'd still be just as busy at home.

Blah.
