A fair number of my ex boyfriends married the girl they dated immediately after me.  How to take that?

I just blew my Christmas savings on this.  I’m sure my family will understand.

Expecting not to hear country on an 8-hour round trip car ride is just plain silly.  Didn’t I tell you I love country?

This link was posted by a friend on mine, and it features two voicemails left for a single gal from a total creeper Dimitri.  I’ve had my fair share of weirdo dudes approach me, but I am happy to have never met this total loser.

When utilizing your friend’s (free!!) laundry room, inquire as to the quicks of each machine.  i.e.: which dryer doesn’t work and which one is so hot every one of your items of clothes will shrink?

Ok, so I’ve been pretty MIA this summer, but don’t worry dear internet.  I’ve been pretty MIA in all aspects of life this summer.  Life is always hectic, but I actually got down to only one meal a day (or less) and no working out for about a two month period there.  If you know me at all, that is extremely abnormal: even during the tax season of 2008 with studying for the CPA I managed to work out and actually eat somewhat decent.

Basically, the summer of 2009 wasn’t necessarily according to plan, and its certainly been a very unexpected experience unlike any I’ve ever had.  I’m thinking 2010 (pronounced twenty-ten!) is going to be very spectacular…I’m interested in seeing how the hell my life will change any more before it hits.

I feel like I have a better handle on things now, so I’m hoping to get back on here to share with you random things about my life (not like you care…how narcissistic am I??).

First thing: I learned that the whole “two spaces after periods” is now back down to one.  Where was I for this?  Apparently its been like this for like 20 years, but for whatever reason I learned to type two spaces after periods.  I don’t think I can change my ways now…

Quote of the night from golf last night (not spoken by myself): “I want to fart, but I’m afraid of blowing bubbles.”

I felt like I was swimming on my run this morning.  Good thing I was wearing this underwear.  Its remarkable; order some now.

Life’s busy and crazy, but I was lucky this weekend when I caught Trace Adkins You’re Gonna Miss This on the radio, I realized that good ol’ Trace is right – I am going to miss this time in my life someday.  How wonderful it feels to be happy with where I’m at instead of waiting for the next big thing.  And to know it.  This may be the first time in my life I’ve ever been able to say that.  The song that triggered it, for no good reason whatsoever…its not even that great:

Ok, so I’ve gone pretty much full hippie and am in the process of switching over to all natural cleaning products.  I picked up this book for some handy household cleaning ideas, and I’ve learned that Dr. Bronners soap is a very resourceful product.  According to the totally weird label, you can use this soap for anything from washing your car, keeping away bugs, using it to brush your teeth, or whatever really.  Just this week I stocked up on the stuff and have been very pleased with the results so far.  I’ve used the soap to make handsoap, body wash, and shampoo, and I have many more plans for it.

Point of this post being, I’ve never heard of this stuff until I recently have been doing some research.  So I was amazed to find out that Eminem Brushes His Teeth With His Deodorant.

I am such a trendsetter!  Oh yeah, longer shorts (not capris, not slutty daisy dukes, the perfect mix.  Or just what happens when my tall lanky ass puts on capris) were totally my idea 2 summers before they were mainstream.  Copiers.

I almost missed pulling into work this morning because the entrance has all these green trees and flowers.  That’s my office?  Didn’t notice a single tree all winter.



Good Things Happening in Wisconsin

Two news stories this week may have pushed Wisconsin back into the #1 place to live slot in my heart: the whole state will be SMOKE-FREE in July 2010.  Doyle still needs to sign the bill, but as we read in his letter to me, he supports the ban.

On other news we won’t hear the result of until 2010, the state Supreme Court will hear a case on gay marriage in Wisconsin.  The case relates to a the amendment passed in 2006 defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.  I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that amendment was bogus – there was simply not enough wording put into the amendment to educate people on its actual ramifications.

I had a conversation recently with my very good gay friend and our very good not-gay friend regarding this issue, and it helped me see a lot of different perspectives.  People are confusing a legal union (state) with the marriage under God (church).  Last I checked, we are supposed to have a separation of church and state.  Why is it that only people married under a church-influenced definition of marriage can visit their loved ones in a hospital in their dying days or have parental rights to a child they helped raise?  When in actuality, a true legal union should allow those rights, gay or straight.

That’s it people – whatever your bible says, pull your heads out of your asses and be compassionate to your fellow human beings.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this hearing.  It would so great to see Wisconsin become one of first states to allow gay marraige – let’s show the rest of the country we are a kick ass, forward-thinking, wonderful place to live!  We’ve got a good start.
