My (old) job, for a long time now, was like reliving the beginning of Rumplestiltskin over and over again. I've felt like the miller's daughter, being locked in a room with piles and piles of straw and told to turn it into gold. And everyday, by hook or by crook, I managed to get it done. I went home tired, sore, and frustrated every single day. And then the next ...
When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7 years old, I had this giant metal see-saw. I mean when I was a kid it looked huge, it had these big handlebars on the sides that probably came up to around my waist if I were standing next to it. At some point I got it in my head that I could jump over that thing. And I did, several times. I'd ...
I loved the song "Voices Carry" by Til Tuesday when I was a kid. For YEARS I thought they were saying, "Hush, hush, keep it down now, this is Carrie." It wasn't til I was in my teens that I realised it was "voices carry." DUH. And when "Livin La Vida Loca" came out, the line "Lips are devil red" - I thought he was saying, "Lips like deviled eggs."
Things I need to stop doing: automatically assuming the worst about people.
Well, we don't know if maybe Chase had food poisoning or a virus and I caught it, because yesterday morning I got sick. I tried to go on into work, but after an hour of sheer exhaustion, fever and nausea I realised it was futile and went home. I couldn't even walk from the living room to the bathroom without being completely winded and having to stop and catch my ...
I didn't think my hair was that much longer, but when I compare it to 2011, yeah, my hair practically looks shoulder length in 2011 pics. Which means it only took me 4 years to get over the hair chop of 2009 :P Boy did I regret that hair cut.
I cleaned out my bag this morning in preparation to switch to my TARDIS purse for Chicago next weekend. This isn't the weirdest haul I've ever seen but I thought I'd take a pic: Wallet Bp gift card a ton of receipts (already thrown away before the picture) a business card from Greyhound Adoptions camera charger chapstick 4 (!) medication bottles (2 were empty. 1 had 1 ibuprofen in it. The other is my migraine ...
Well I figured I'd write some about stuff that's been going on lately. I've been trying to sew some stuff for my etsy store but haven't had a ton of time; after getting back from Disney Indy got really sick. It was back and forth from the vet to the animal hospital to the vet - they finally diagnosed her with pancreatitis. She had to get a lot of fluids ...
Me: (fowards a Melting Pot special to Chase) let's do this, it sounds so fun Chase: I get those emails too. We cant afford it right now Me:
Totally random, but I thought I'd compile a list of my MST3k collection. I started collecting tapes when I was a teenager, so unfortunately over the years I've LOST a lot of my originals, either just misplaced or taped over, you know how it goes. I started buying some of them on VHS when Rhino started putting them out, and occasionally I'll buy a few of the DVD collections. ...
