Walk Like A.....Pigeon???

This morning I had a whole line of thought about how weird it must be to walk like a pigeon.  I mean, the way that head moves....can you imagine?  It seems like it would be impossible to walk and chew gum at the same time.  You would choke for sure!  I don't even think you could even have a conversation!

I think I have really gone around the bend.  I am going to blame it one hundred percent on the sinus meds!  Anyway, after reading this, I am sure my husband is going to have me committed, so it might be a while until my next post =D

Lollygaggers

We hear all the time about the crackdown on aggressive drivers.  What nobody talks about is the Lollygaggers.  These are the folks that have alllllll the time in the world.  They think that whatever speed they choose should be the acceptable rate of travel, and they will do everything in their power to make sure everyone else participates.  Known behaviors include:  putting in the left lane, riding with their foot on the brake pedal (even during acceleration), stopping at the beginning of a merge lane, and my personal favorite - blocking the left lane.

The blocking is what I consider the worst.  They will get right next to the back bumper of the slowest moving car in existence, and then take 27 miles to pass them.  Of course, while that's going on, traffic is backing up for miles, and everyone else is turning into the dreaded aggressive driver.  At least with aggressive drivers you can get out of their way.  Lollygaggers can't even get out of their OWN way!!!!!

There should be special penalties for these folks.  Something along the lines of a giant fist coming out of the car behind them and flattening them into a pancake sounds reasonable =)

It's the little things.....

I have got to be the most boring person in the world.  Truly.  Because it takes very little to make me crack up like an idiot.

Today's example is about smileys.  You know, the little happy, sad, winky faces you can add to a conversation.  Well, I have been introduced to a program with a huge variety of different smileys, so now I can say it as I see it.  So far, I have found uses for a vomiting smiley, a bouncy happy smiley, a smiley bashing his computer with a club, a smiley demanding to be fed........you get the idea.  But today, my friends, I had occasion to, in the most friendly and humorous way possible, flip someone off.  Yep, it's even called "flipping the finger."  For the full effect, it does it alternating with both hands!  This is AMAZING!

Yeah.  I really need to get out more.

Friday Pep Talk

What's that, you say?  Who needs a pep talk on a Friday???

I agree.

Yet, here I am, trying to convince myself that I can make it through the day without:
a) Sleeping on my desk
b) Crying like an imbecile
c) Threatening to go on a murderous rampage

I am sure there are other options, but presently those are the most likely.  So, I am going to tell myself that regardless of how long this week has been, how much my sinuses feel like they are going to make my head explode, or how emotional I feel, I CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY!!!

The Lesser of Two Evils

My husband and I are currently facing a biiiiiiiiiiig decision, and I can't help but feel trapped.  There is no good, ideal choice.  There is a side of awesome to each choice, and also a side of absolute sucky.  How in the world can one make a decision based on which is less sucky?  About anything?  I mean, if you wanted to go out to dinner, and both of the choices were poo, wouldn't you stay home and eat left-overs??  I am just so nervous because after all the crazy shenanigans in our lives, we are at a great place in our relationship, with our family, with our whole life, and I am so worried that this is going to put everything back in a tailspin.

What to do, what to do......

Box Tops for Education

My kids' schools participate in a program where you collect the little stamp-looking "Box Tops" off of food packages.  The schools use them to purchase supplies; each is worth 10 cents.  The schools send home papers to attach the Box Tops to, 10 at a time.  We have been collecting them all summer.  Tonight, it was I who received the education.  After discovering I have collected almost enough to fill a whole sheet from one product alone - butter, I have now been educated on why I am a fat kid.  Somehow I don't think that was what they were going for...... =(

Keeping up with the Joneses

What is it about people that make them feel like it is necessary to one-up people?  I have been thinking about this a lot, and I can't comprehend this mindset, I guess because I don't have it.  If one of my friends were to purchase a mansion on a hill, I would truly be happy for them.  Truth be told, I don't want a mansion on a hill; somebody has to clean that monster, and I just don't wanna.  But if I did, I still wouldn't feel the need to out-do them just to say I had something.  It's just silly to me!  Didn't you work hard for whatever you have now???  Can you never just appreciate where you are and be proud of yourself for getting there?  At some point, aren't you worried that someone is going to call you out on being a copycat and tell you they don't want to play with you on the playground??
