Welcome to My World

1] Paying for cable TV and Internet service is lame. Not only are they going to charge me a premium price [and then tack on all the extras] each month, that's only the special 3-month introductory offer. Joy.

2] Filing for an extension rather than filing for my REFUND is really making me angry. Don't people know that slow and unorganized is just NOT the way I roll? Yes, please let me pay $100 to wait even longer to get MY money back. Thank you.

3] I [heart] office supplies.

4] This weekend my six-year-old niece asked me if I was having another baby. I'm not sure if she meant because I looked like it or not, but it's messed with my head ever since.

5] Tried to start eating healthier again [see #4]. Rocked Monday. Little slip Tuesday. Eating leftover nachos Wednesday. Chocolate and donuts are due to be on the agenda tomorrow.

6] Sometimes worrying about other people's money for them becomes really draining. Okay. A lot of times.

7] Does anyone else have an easier time getting up in the morning when the total hours of sleep for the night are 5 or under? I will never understand this phenomenon I experience.

8] Are babies lives so stressful that they already have to grind their brand new nubby teeth while they sleep?

9] What the crap did I do that caused Microsoft, the United Nations Office, Barrister Jerry Bogon, Mr. Ming Yang, AND the FBI to want to urgently contact me/congratulate me for winning the lottery/approve me for obscene loans/or write me emails with "Beloved" in the subject line ALL DAY LONG?

10] It's clean and move time. We're in the home stretch! Picking the truck up Saturday at 8:00. I'm going to continue to pretend we'll have it all done by noon. Works better in my head that way.

11] Why would Jeff have me order all the door hardware [i.e. knobby things and locking things] from the Internet? How was I supposed to know you are supposed to specially tell them to key all the locks the same? Doesn't my massive order imply that they all need to be the same? No? Cue the locksmith.

12] Old people are funny. And endearing.

13] Am I the only one who goes nuts [in my head of course] when someone says "I could care less." It's I COULDN'T care less. To say you could care less means that you actually do care at least a little bit, and therefore you negate the whole point of making the snippy comment meant to demoralize whoever/whatever you couldn't care less about. Breathe...

14] Is it bad that all I think about is the pant hanging racks from IKEA? Only they don't make them in the right width to fit my closet, so I'm constantly trying to think of ways to make them work/find replacements on the Internet.

15] Today I sent my mom an instant message questioning whether it would be considered bad taste to remit a suicide note via instant message since I was ready to kill myself over trying to fix our company's timeclock....AGAIN. She thought it probably would.

16] Kaeden wants to snuggle to fall asleep EVERY NIGHT. Inside I secretly LOVE it. I know. It's bad. But so good at the same time. If this is my poison, I think I'll pick it.

17] I think that blogging/blog reading/overall Internet use have increasingly [make that exponentially] made me ADHD.

18] Why do I try to continue my abusive relationship with Redbox? Every time we rent a movie from one we are always left wondering what happened after the movie freezes in a pixelated screen shot half way through.

19] I wish I were a technological guru. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to program software or crack binary code. I just want to be able to efficiently and effectively network my computers and peripherals like I imagine them in my head. I've gotten pretty good, but I KNOW those tech nerds could do it sooooo much better.

20] Something I've been secretly stressing over lately? What if my new house is haunted? I can't deal with the paranormal. One sign of something freaky, and I will keel over right then and there. I remember having this same irrational, keep-you-awake-at-night-near-tears fear before I moved into my last house. Oh, and when I thought about labor and delivery. Turns out I was completely wrong about the previous two. Let's hope it's three-for-three.
