So it seems...

That all I talk about in my posts is food.
I'm obsessed? Or perhaps just hungry.
I honestly think it has a lot to do with this odd shift I work.

2pm-10pm I'm not a breakfast person, so most days I don't eat
before i come into work. so then do I eat twice?

Lots of perks to this job, the poor eating habits that stem from
this particular shift can be... adjusted accordingly.

damn vending machines
damn Doritos


Dinner tonight? popcorn, bottle of coke and some jolly ranchers.

Chocolate Cake for...

DINNER!

Fantastic idea. I don't know how many of you have ever heard a Bill Cosby skit.
OMG his chocolate cake for breakfast is hysterical. I came into work tonight and its someones birthday so there was chocolate cake and Neapolitan ice cream. (strawberry, vanilla and chocolate all in the same tub) HEAVEN! *happy dance*

So I sat here and ate a slice of cake bigger than I should have had, and a generous two scoops of ice cream. Yum. Washed it all down with a bottle of water. And lets not forget dessert. Starbursts and a piece of peppermint gum. I am quite the healthy eater tonight. HAHAHA.

Don't have much else to say tonight. Just figured I would stop by... if i let too much time pass between entries I will forget that I even have a blog.

Happy Thursday everyone! (happy Friday to you)

Freaking Freaks!

Toni and I were having a conversation in email today.
She said it and I said I must make that a blog post.
So I did.

That being said, I'm all together sure that I have absolutely nothing to talk about
of any real value except to me. And of course, since I am the only reason
I am actually writing this blog in the first place,then it would stand to reason that
I could write about anything I wanted to. Or not.
Right?

Which leads me back to my original point... wait, did I even have one?
I'm not entirely sure of that either, now that I think of it.

Just another manic monday...

woah woah... ahem, oh, Hi *mental note to self not to sing while writing in the blog*

Remember, although today is Tuesday for the rest of the world, its my Monday...

Just stopping in quick to say hello! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Umm, so here is what I did.

I traveled all the way to a small podunk town in the middle of Pennsylvania to visit my mom and step dad. Bedford PA. Google it, I dare ya. Its a great little tourist trap kind of a town. Lots of historical stuff and a Church on every corner.

So, in this little town of Bedford PA opened a store called Tylers Mystic Moon
Great place, I made an appointment so I could shop on Sunday. Spent some money, got some great stuff.
Enjoyed hanging out with my mom and stepdad. Weekend always goes by very fast when I'm visiting someone.

Now I'm back and I'm at work. Bleh.

Happy Monday. Perhaps I'll be inspired to write more later in the week.

What exactly IS Puce?

Jazz, this post is for you. I was always under the impression that puce was actually a greenish sickly color. Now I know its a reddish purple sickly color.
You learn something new every day!

Puce
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puce is a color generally considered to be dark rose to brownish-purple. A few sources define "puce" simply as "dark brown" [1]. It is occasionally referred to as pinkish-purple.
English usage dates from 1787. [from the French puce, literally "flea." It is speculated that it refers to the colour of a squashed flea or the colour of a flea full of blood. Another theory is that the color name comes from the flea's droppings of digested blood, which spread out in deep red stain when water contacts them.
The color puce is usually defined with adjectives such as "dark", "deep", "intense" and even "brilliant". The color example above is a lighter tint. On the other hand, the color may refer to blue-lavender of the Pennyroyal flower, also named puce in French. The name derives from the use of pungent Pennyroyal to ward off fleas. [2]
Prunes, which are dried plums, can also be said to be puce colored.

Happy Valentines Day!

So its February 14th
Toni posted some uh... sayings for Valentines day. I guess
the regular nice first line and the not so nice last line.
This was my favorite by far.
*chuckles*
So, Happy Valentines Day my friends.


Roses are red violets are blue
Sugar is sweet and so are you
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead
The sugar bowl's empty and so is your head

Its FRIDAY!!!

Something else you might not know about me.
Working in the transportation industry , I have a strange schedule.
My weekends are Sunday and Monday. So, today
for you is Saturday but for me... its FRIDAY BABY!!!

This means two things...first off, posts on this day usually will be
more incoherent than any other. (I'm guessing). And secondly it means that
you will have to go two whole entire days without a post. I can't say that I will
be logging in from home to write a post, unless something really prolific occurs.
Prolific... is that even the word I am wanting to use here?

Eh, whatever.

So , how was your day today? Me, I've been pretty tired. It was a long work week.
Saturdays are great here er, Fridays. ;) All the bosses are gone, and that means
portable DVD player and movies. So today I watched Freaky Friday (the new one with Jamie Lee Curtis) and now, I'm watching Coyote Ugly....
women dancing on the bar with pitchers of water... what could be better?

... aside from the obvious, that I could be there having a beer watching them in person
but, I digress...

2 more hours until I can go home and relax for the weekend.
Don't have any real plans. Just going to hang around and watch TV.
Take the dog to the vet, and perhaps go catch a movie Monday afternoon.

Have a great weekend everyone. I'll see you Tuesday.

almost 50 things about me

Again, Jazz ( her link is over there )
<-------------------- challenged me in my first post ever comment to write 50 things about myself.
Now Toni, said to do 100.
I'm going to shoot for 25 and see what happens.
I'm not in the greatest of moods today. In fact

Or maybe even puce. I feel like I'm puce today.

6 Weird things...

So Jazz has tagged me ( I don't know how to link the name yet, the blog address is to the left over there) <--------

I have to admit that I have an issue spelling weird. Usually comes out wired and then I change it. (I really did have to re-spell that the first time) I don't want to count that but apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. I am comforted by that.


So my list...

1. I ABSOLUTELY cannot touch frosted glass. I LOATH the way it feels. It makes me nauseous and sick and eeewww it makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it ( Think nails on a chalkboard, that feeling)

2. I can crack my knuckles, but hearing someone else do it gives me the heebie jeebies

3. I can honestly say that I have a paper and pen issue (fetish). I can't get enough. Really scary how many pens I have... and how much paper (blank journals, notebooks etc.)

4. I want to learn how to use the sewing machine. I have not yet, because I am afraid I will sew my finger(s).

5. I am very shy. I am a wallflower. Most people who know me, either online or in person, will disagree.

6. I hate tapioca pudding and cottage cheese. I don't like the texture. its gross. very gross... eeewww ick.

So what DO you write in the first entry?

Seriously...
Because I created this blog almost 12 hours ago and I've worried all day about what to write. A blank page is quite intimidating, especially for someone who tends to READ blogs not WRITE blogs.

*insert ticking clock noise here*

...writers block on the first day certainly is not a good sign is it? If I sit here for two more hours then I have to leave work and go home. Brilliant excuse not to write eh? I only have two hours. Not enough time to write anything even remotely interesting.

I should warn you in advance that I'm not even sure where this blog is headed. It will probably just end up being rambling thoughts and ideas from my head. Perhaps some of those list things I've seen in other blogs, things that interest me, I'm probably not going to discuss politics, nor do I want to debate any serious issues. As I sit here and think more and more about why I am creating this blog, I think really its more for ME. if I sit with a journal, blank and it stays blank. I carry it around in my bag and it stays blank until I start gluing things into it, articles and things printed from the Internet and it ends up a big book filled with stuff I put in it, but not stuff I've WRITTEN in it. I'm not going to call myself a writer, because I'm not... not by a long shot. My grandfather was the writer, may he rest in peace.

I am , however, an artist. I like to create things. As the days go by, if you don't get sick of my muddled thoughts, I'm sure we will get to know each other pretty well. Or, you, will get to know me pretty well. (as far as you know)

Purple is my favorite color.

Its a start, isn't it?
