Laptop Day

I've been working all day on my laptop. ALL. DAY. I love my laptop, don't get me wrong, but it has become an appendage, and I don't know if that is healthy. I work hard. I hope it pays off some day.

Driving in Seattle

A most beautiful day in Seattle, it's going to be in the 80's today! Woot! Anybody wanna ride the duck?

Cell phone pics and short nonsensical paragraphs.

I have not been writing lately. It has all been about cell phone pics and short nonsensical paragraphs. (If you're lucky.) I lost my inspiration, I guess. The cruel world of doldrums, workaholism and disappointment has stomped out all creativity. Perhaps summer will reveal some color and revival. One can only hope. I need a muse.

Kabob Prep

Kabob prep is a pain in the ass. But I love me some kabobs! Apparently, I need a bigger countertop. :-/

Is the Blog Era Ending?

So, I went to all my blog favs today hoping to catch up with my peeps since I haven't been able to in a while because of work, and so many of you are gone! What happened? I had to delete 6 broken links! Did you all delete your blogs? I'm sad. If you have just moved let me know!

Then, I realized I hadn't "upgraded" my blog template in eons because I'm too afraid I'll lose all my archives and settings. I need some html help. I want a new look, but I want to save my archives. I won't be able to remember my life if they get deleted. Seriously, I have quite a history here, but I'm sick of the design.

I worked almost 60 hours in 5 days last week, so I spent ALL of yesterday sleeping. Today, I'm going to BBQ some kabobs and my mom is coming up. It is sunny and nice, so we are going to enjoy the sun. If I can get off of the internet.

Too Many Hours

I got off work at 8pm last night and tonight. I started at 8am. I have an hour+ commute. I'm tired. I don't feel like cleaning, cooking, talking, eating, thinking, or even peeing. Nothing. This is becoming a habit and I don't like it. I need to find some balance.

Going to Cali on June 6th for a week.

Lazy Sunday with Dogs

Enjoying the nice 83-degree day on my patio. Pups are panting and I'm keeping cool with a margarita. I should be working but screw it.

Had eggs benedict for breakfast and am either going to grill some buffalo burgers or make pork tenderloin in a marsala wine sauce with shitake mushrooms and shallots. MMMM.

I Gots GPS!

Look who got a Garmin GPS! A new toy for me to play with! My ma decided I needed one and got it for me yesterday. The female voice? I call her Gladys. Remember, I name everything. My SUV's name is Ezmerelda.

LOL

Just so you know.

What happens at fondue, stays at fondue.

Music

Kickin' back listening to music tonight. Here's the lineup:

Sweet Jane (Cowboy Junkies)

Joey (Concrete Blonde)

I still haven't found what I'm looking for (U2)

Wanted Dead or Alive (Bon Jovi)

Sister Golden hair (America)

Chillin'. It's been a long week.

Yogurt hell and other fun things.

So, everyone keeps telling me to eat yogurt because it's good for me. It helps with digestion, weight loss, immune boosting, osteoporosis, blah, blah, blah. So, I'm eating it. Or should I say I'm choking it down. I'm not a big yogurt fan, much like I don't drink diet soda. I've found that the smoothie/drinkable ones are tolerable, so I'm going with those. We'll see just how damn healthy I get.

I am also drinking "authentic" Wu-Yi Source tea. (Not to be confused with fake Wu-Yi tea.) That's right. I am. I got some for free! With my luck, I'll get addicted to it and then have to spend my life savings buying the stuff. It is expensive as all get out!

I'm having a "get-pretty" day on Friday with my mom. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not feeling pretty. Or wanted. Or sexy. I'm pretty much feeling old, broken down, fat, pasty-white and mousy. NOT GOOD. I'm going to get some new clothes too, that always helps. I hate it when clothes start to fade and lose their color. Then, I'll be ready for my Cali trip in June!

My morning.

It was pouring rain. I had to get gas on the way to work, and the first gas station I stopped at had no working pumps due to a power surge from the storm. Upon discovering this and getting back into my car, the edge of the gas station over-hang dumped a waterfall of water on top of my head. Only me. This would ONLY happen to me.

The commute was NUTS. It took me 3 hours to get to work, and I had to pee so damn bad by the time I got there that my eyeballs were floating. Because I have to walk quite a few blocks from the parking garage to the building where I work, I wasn't going to make it so I stopped at the only open place I could find which was a Subway sandwich shop. I tried to run into their bathroom, but it was locked. LOCKED. I had to go to the counter, and they said I had to BUY something to get the key. OMFG! I bought a 54-cent motherfucking cookie so I could go pee. I almost threw my cookie at the clerk. Then my umbrella broke.

And you all wonder why I'm so grumpy all the time.

Always in a funk.

I'm in a funk today. Sometimes I don't get over things easily. I carry my heart on my sleeve, and it always gets bruised and battered. I need to just get rid of the stupid thing altogether and become a cold, mean, bitch, right? Can't touch this! Yeah, right. I don't know what I expect. Some of my friends have stopped blogging, some have changed their email, some have just left the building. Life can be cold and distant.

Work is super busy. It has taken over my life. Just what I wanted, to be a workaholic. They pay me well, and I can't complain because so many I know are unemployed. I should just shut the fuck up, I guess.

I may be taking a short trip to Cali in June. If I can get off work.
