Happy Monday! Not for real...

So, I woke up late this morning. Typically, it doesn't matter if I'm a few minutes late because I work late almost everyday anyway. However, today we were celebrating our Administrative staff and I was responsible for bringing the breakfast drinks (orange juice, chocolate milk and coffee creamer) for everyone. Needless to say that I didn't venture to the store on Sunday, so that was going to make me even later. It took me loads of time longer than I usually take to get up and I caught (yep caught) myself just sitting on the end of the bed staring at the closet doors. What the crap was that all about. My head was a little tilted too which made it even more bizarre. Anyway, I moved myself along and finally left the apartment at 9:02. The celebration was scheduled to start at 8:30. I sent a test that said I was on my way and I flew to the car. Ok, I actually walked, but I figured I was already late and if they hadn't gotten anything to drink by now then they could just wait a little longer.

Anywho, I'm driving thinking about how long it's going to take me to get in and out of Walmart... I decided that was out of the question. QT was my next choice. Let's just hope that the upscale gast station has chocolate milk, orange juice and coffee creamer. It has everything else including my morning coffee when I can't afford Starbucks or at least shouldn't spend 5 bucks on it. Low and behold, QT has everything I'm looking for. Granted, it's all much smalled than I need, but I can't be choosy. I load my arms with double of everything including the legit coffee creamer (french vanilla and sweet cream)and head to the counter. I'm on the way to work by 9:15 and I'm thinking, man did I make good time. I'll try to hide the gas station bags when I get to the kitchen. Didn't happen, boss man was walking out of his office and graciously took the bags from me. My fingers were a bit cramped. Whatever, it's not like I don't buy stuff from there for me. If it's good enough for me, it's good enough for you.

Oh, I didn't mention the monsoon that engulfed us all today. Again, a bit dramatic, but when you're already moving slow, any rain especially lots of it doesn't help at all.

The rest of the day was pretty mild. We figured out where we're going for our staff retreat and I'm super excited. That post will come in a few weeks.

In other news, the blogging challenge is officially underway. I was a little skeptical about it happening being that a few of us have moved or are in the process of moving. It took an act of God to get it going in the first place, so let's just say I'm a bit shocked, but uber excited that it's happening. I have already read a few posts from fellow bloggers and so far so good. Looking forward to reading frim veterans and newcomers. I really enjoy this challenge and hope it happens every year until forever. I'm just kind flying by the seat of my knickers for this year. I thought about doing things that disgust me and cause internal vomiting, but figured that may be a little too much for the challenge, so I might just throw a couple in hear of there.

Well, I guess that's about all for the moment... Oh, I just rented Wall Street and the next 3 days and I'm about to try to watch them both. I'm taking off tomorrow so I can go look for an apartment, but who says I can't sleep in for a bit. :)

Happy Blogging!

Theme of the Month

It was hard for me to think of a theme that was broad enough to not get bored or stumped, yet specific enough to not get frustrated with the broadness of it. I am pretty spastic with my writing.  I like to jump around and just write whatever.  That is probably true in everything that I do including, but not limited to living arrangements, jobs, journaling, reading, traveling, other hobbies, etc.

So, with this in mind, my theme for the month is not really a theme.  It is more of a leading statement that I will use to begin my post each day.  This will give me the freedom to be spastic, while also limiting my spastic-ness just a little.  My goal is to not be boring or repetitive, but instead to be creative and have a reason to say all the things that I wouldn't actually say out loud.  Maybe some of them, but definitely not all of them. You could probably consider this month to be a series of rants that were initiated by events, interactions, or random mumblings in my machinery (machinery = my brain - It was in a movie I watched yesterday- that’s kind of weird in a sentence though) I’m not really sure what will happen, or how this will pan out.... but hear me now and hear me clearly…. 

My plan is to stick this out for the entire month.  If I get bored, I will do something else.

So here is what I have come up with after many many hours of trying to come up with a leading sentence… 

Side Note:  If you are thinking what the crap??? You worked for many hours and that is what you came up with....then you should stop reading my blog now because it is only downhill from here.

Side Note 2:  I'm not really sure if it was hours, minutes, or seconds

So, here it is...... If I were to really let go, ......................... and then the sh!t would hit the fan That is how I will begin each post.
