Random Thoughts

1. Blogging long overdue. I was trying to be poetic the other day and the effort failed miserably. I will try it again when I am less tired and bitter.

2. California votes today (as does everyone else it seems). I sent my absentee ballot in two weeks ago. Good thing I did it early because it came back to me. Who knew you had to put a stamp on them? Go Obama! Michelle has been looking fierce lately too. (Fierce is a good gay way, not in a scary way straight people.)

3. Almost there with the new job. Have my "I'm not a crazy person!" interview tomorrow. I am hoping to be starting across the Bay the first week of March.

4. Valentine's Day is fast approaching. I am having thoughts of sending my ex-boyfriend flowers. Somebody hit me with a brick.

5. Today is my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!  I have a sneaking suspicion the flowers I sent from an orchid farm in Southern California never made it out yesterday.  I am hoping their website is horribly wrong.

6. Two minute (MY-NEWT) earthquakes tonight while I was at work. (So minute my coworkers had to tell me we were having an earthquake. Until I saw the Geological Survey website, I swore they were lying.) I printed out the Natural Disaster Preparedness Kit sheet and am putting my kit together this weekend. We are coming due for a big one in the next ten years or so.

7. Who would have predicted the Pats losing? Biggest upset in the history of football. Eli Manning's brother Peyton was in his senior year at Pitt when I did my one year stint. It seems like yesterday.

8. Girl Scout cookie time. My Thin Mints are a-coming.

9. I have somehow put on 5-7 pounds since Christmas and it's not coming off easily. Getting older sucks.

10. It is the Year of the Rat. Kung Hei Fat Choi!

11. Why was there no new Project Runway episode last week? Can we really deal with Ricky being the reigning challenge winner two weeks running? Negative. 

12. I need to get my loft in order. Paint, shelves, artwork, and more. I am gonna some stuff done this year. 

13. Recently heard somewhere. Life is what happens while you are making plans. Fucking brilliant and so true. 

Cuidate all.
