Of all the things I feel I must share, not a single one of them is worthy of its own post. So, you get the joys of yet another totally random post filled with the bits of our lives that amuse me. (more…)
Yesterday, I got a call from a friend checking in on me and she said, “wow, your posts have been more snarky than usual.” Um, I hadn’t thought so. Ranting, yes; but was there true snark there? Possibly. I mean seriously, I’m never too far from the snark. So, today, I bring you true paragraphs that have nothing to do with each other.
If you think YOU were the one who rained on my parade* (more…)
I’m not sure if I should announce this or not, but since everyone knows I’m headed off on a cruise and will probably be looking for the inevidiable list of things I’ve done to make people laugh at me. I have pre-written a few things for your enjoyment before I leave. While I truly hope to scope out a signal long enough to post some real cruise updates, I’ll be writing the whole week and will upload as I get the chance. (more…)
…everyone would be ok with watching the Superbowl like me, 4 hours after it was over and fast forwarding through all the boring football parts. Yup, it took me about an hour to push through the entire game and watch every single commerical. It is like reverse TIVO. (more…)
I once heard that what you are doing at midnight when the new year begins is what you will do the whole year. I can firmly attest that this is a lie of MAJOR proportions. In fact, I want my money back this is such a lie. I have been sound asleep for the dawning of a new year for many a year and never ONCE has it brought me a year of sleeping well. Seriously, if I’d wanted wakeful nights for a year, I’d be awake at midnight.
No, you see my specific brand of insomnia doesn’t truly begin until 2am. In fact, since returning home from my 8 billion mile journey, I have been begging to not be awake at any point from 4 to 6 am. I can tell you truthfully, that I’ve yet to get my wish. It was so bad this morning, that I was actually so sick of laying in bed wide awake by 7am that I got up and made breakfast. Seriously, this is getting old.
So, my little sweet internet friends, I must leave you and get some sleep, in hopes that the baby New Year ‘07 will finally be kind to me and allow me to great him well rested and later in the morning.
I tell you, I live a most exciting life. You wish you were me, I can just feel it. Seriously, let’s hope in 2007, I get to talk about more than my addiction to coffee and lack of sleep.
It began just three little months ago — when *I*, the last of the royals took my turn at turning “3.” However, when the clock flipped over to midnight o’one, Prince has now ruined it. Yup — can you guess? Today, Prince turned 34. Seriously, I don’t think he was as thrilled to be a part of the “all of us are three” thing as me. But alas, he has gotten his wish — he is no longer 3.
Now, I’m late on the special, tear-jerking, overly sweet Christmas post, sue me. You see, I’ve been a wee bit quiet lately — because I’ve been away!!! I’ve been hesitant to mention my travel plans for Christmas, lest it not be totally secret — much like a covert operation to have the President in Iraq for a photo-op.
(alternate title: Reason why the Queen is not smart #1,043)
Dear Santa:
I’ve been a very good Queen this year. I’ve tried to keep a good home, raise a good child, and do good to others. I’ve begun this very blog in a partial effort to make others feel better about themselves by comparison. I have a happy child who is looking forward to your visit late on Christmas Eve. We have even made cookies for you — with sprinkles.
One might argue that there are more things I don’t get than things I do, but I counter with a simple, “I’m a bright girl; I’m capable of lots of things…however, this (whatever this is at the time) is just whack.” (Note, cleaver use of slang you will never ACTUALLY hear come out of my mouth until it has been dead for 10+ years. I’m cool like that.)
In theory I should dedicate today’s post to the men and women of our Armed Forces. Did everyone check your calendars and remember that today is Veteran’s Day? No? Did it go by un-noticed and forgotten yet again? If you are not a government employee, did you even have the day off? Bank employees don’t count — you people make-up days just to take them off 
And yet this year has seemed strangly slient on the matter of Veteran’s Day. So, while I probably should write a detailed post about how we should honor then men and women who serve, I shall not. I will honor my veteran in some way — perhaps by cooking his dinner and maybe (only if he is very good) finishing the laundry. Feel free to go here and thank him for his service and remind him to pick up his socks.
