“Crap! I haven’t posted since Thursday morning! I HAVE to post something! Anything!” as if I entered into a legally binding contractual agreement I signed in blood that says if I don’t post at least every other day I’m condemend to wear those pesky stirrup pants and hypercolor tees we talked about earlier this week.
I feel that way on random Sundays (ha- lie. I feel that way everyday!) when I have nothing to write. So, to spare the rest of you- get the crap out of here! What you are about to read is useless boring information that might make you feel the need to bang your head against the nearest desk. Or wall. Or door. Or really, whatever is close enough to help you forget the reality of this post. SAVE YOURSELVES!!
* I’ve been feverishly (ha) transferring my old archives over to the new blog. Gotta tell you- it’s been a lot of fun. In fact, I totally made myself laugh out loud this morning. How embarrassing. My coworker just looked at me like I was an idiot. Then again, she normally looks at me that way…
It’s been fun to look back at the past two years here. Well, fun and sad. I was homesick like all of 2005-2006. You poor souls! How did you put up with those posts?!
* Father’s Day is next Sunday, and quite frankly I suck. Hopefully you don’t.
* I really, really like Starbucks but am a big fat cheap-o. I did the math. Did you know I would spend $763.20 a year in coffee if I had Starbucks three times a week? What a rip. I’m trying to restrict myself to once or twice. There are several other good options (Caribou, The Coffee Bean, etc), but they’re all about the same. I guess I could splurge and actually invest in a coffee maker, but it’s just not the same. I need Tito to make my Venti Vanilla Iced Latte with Skim Milk special (oh, and Annie-since you came out of the closet about your 6 packs of Equal, I will too).
They only make it special at Starbucks, you know.
* It’s starting to get hot. Not just “Whew! Turn on the AC! It’s hot in here” type hot. More like- “I think the heat has made me sterile” kind of hot.
You’ll hear me complain about this topic a lot from here on out. It’s hard to imagine it getting a good 20-40 degrees hotter, but it can, and it will. The only plus to this inferno is that the sun heats the water tanks on top of all the apartment buildings. That means there is no such thing is cold water (which is a pain sometimes) and you can take the longest showers EVER.
* Will and I started season three of 24. I can’t believe we never watched it back home. In fact, almost all the box sets we have and watch are of shows we rarely caught back home. Did we live in a cave? Perhaps. I guess we had busier weekends back then- but alas! that is all about to change. That post will come later this week.
* I’m almost positive my maid is a Girl Scout. Yep. Apparently they have a troop in Kuwait and my maid is the Troop Leader. I came to this conclusion a few weeks ago when I came home and she had craftily used old scraps of Will’s t-shirts to create a toy for the pups. She also created a top knot mechanism to cure my broken shower scrubbie. If I’m a betting woman this week I’ll come home to a cozy fire and smore fixings, not to mention an assortment of Tagalongs. I wonder if she cleans with her badge sash on??…
* I’m a Purpose Driven Life failure (don’t tell anyone, okay?). Do you realize I was supposed to be finished with the book like a month ago!!? What a loser. I ended up going back to my original Bible study stuff recently. I don’t know I just randomly up and stop reading. I only have like 3 more days to go. I think I’ll finish this week and then go back to what I was doing.
* I’m totally siked (did I just say siked!? Am I allowed to say that anymore??) about one of the gifts I came up with for my Summer Swap buddy. Hopefully she’ll like it too.
Okay… I’m “nothinged” out! That’s all I’ve got.
Lord help us all. Let’s hope I have something to write about tomorrow!
