Just some thoughts and events that I've had that I wanted to share with you. Consider this my twitter feed of the last week or so (since I don't actually have one to post these unimportant and yet so important musings on):
I changed/updated my facebook profile picture for the first time...ever. After 7 years with my original picture, the new facebook page designs that were forced upon me whilst on vacation dictated that I start fresh again...I miss that old picture, but hoping for good things to come with a new start!
My mom called me a hussy in text message, followed by a "good job." I took it all as a compliment. Warped mother/daughter relationship? Perhaps.
I'm actually cheering for Tony Romo to do well with the Cowboys this year, because he's my quarterback on my fantasy football team. I hate it. I feel dirty because of that. Not that I really have divisional reasons to hate the Cowboys, but I'm a football fan who's not from Dallas, so I automatically dislike them by nature. But he got me 30 points in my first game of the season, and I'm rather pleased about it. This internal conflict is difficult. Joe Flacco might be getting started sooner than later just so my stomach can settle and my anxiety can go down.
In other fantasy football news, Aaron Rodgers is right where's he's supposed to be, starting for Mrs. Aaron Rodgers's team (the name of my team in my office league). So glad to see the family is happy and together again!
Every once in a while, I feel like I've got a grain of sand in my eye..residual from a wonderful and relaxing long weekend at the beach. When I feel that sand in my eye, I feel both happy to remember my weekend, and a lot of pain because having something in your eye that you can't get out IS THE WORST.
Walking out of the metro last night, 3 guys were singing with a bowl in front of them for spare change. One guy was doing a pitiful beatbox, and the other two were just singing "oooooooooooooooooooo" in imperfect harmony, just moving up and down their range of notes however they pleased. They did not receive my spare change.
Tuesday at work, I yanked out a long hair I saw growing from the side of my neck! I was horrified. HORRIFIED! I'm just hoping it wasn't pointed out to me over the weekend because no one saw it, rather than because no one was willing to point it out to me....the horror.
I am now the proud owner of a nice, sun-kissed tan. No lobster red for me this time around! I've never been more pleased with the state of my skin after a beach weekend. My face is not glowing in the dark, and I did not burn my ears, hair part, or upper lip area, all of which have been problem spots for me and the sun this year. Nailed it!
The same cannot be said for avoiding mosquitoes. I have roughly 7 mosquitos bites - on one leg - that I'm battling, plus about 15 more I'm trying to ignore as much as possible. Basically, I'm one giant itch fest.
I've been at my new job for about a week and a half now, and the Members come back to town next week. It will be my first week with my big boss back in the office, and looking at his calendar, he is BUSY. I'm about to be thrown underwater...let's hope I don't drown!
I'm kind of obsessed with Shelfari, by amazon.com, right now. If you couldn't tell by the two, TWO, widgets on the side of my blog now. I couldn't decide which books to display, lay off already! I went with books I'm reading (slash I've opened/started on audible/read the first chapter on amazon like I do sometimes...). I want to put all the books I've ever written on there. It's a tall order, but I'm going for it.
And last but not least - I have a post coming to you soon, quickly recapping my trip to the Homeland/Midwest. It doesn't do the 10 days justice by any means, but it has a nice list of awesome moments and will include some pictures when I'm done with it. So stayed tuned, patiently (I'm talking to you, Chris).
