Happy Anniversary!

Five days late. Ugh, I didn't even remember to post this on the actual date of one year.  Here's to perhaps more posting, but probably not (who am I kidding?) in the next year!  Happy 1 year and 5 days of existence to the blog I haven't posted to in over five months. A song just for you.

I have to find a new route to work

I'm weirded out right now.  I was walking to work this morning and a guy who lives on the cross street to mine, pulls out of his driveway after I walked past.

Then I noticed the cell phone over his shoulder and I wonder "Did that guy just take a picture of me!?"   I could be wrong by why would he have his phone hanging out the window and pointing at me?  He had the phone in his right hand, crossed over himself and out the driver's side window. Why?

My first thought was, OMG, he's going to upload that to some site where they make fun of fat ugly people and I will be mocked.  Criticized.  Belittled. Because that's how my mind works.  My second thought was, do I look good today?  Maybe he thinks I'm hot (HAHAHAHA) Next thought was, what does any of that matter, why would random, sort of neighbor guy take my picture.  Weirdo.

What do you think, paranoia?  I'd probably agree with you.

On another note, I'm feeling a little better today.  Hopefully I will kick this sinus/respiratory thing this week.

Super Bug

This blog is only six months old and this is probably my third or fourth time saying this, but here I go again - I'm sorry for being a crummy blogger.  You see, I'm still sick.  Like, since late July sick.  I begin my fourth round of antibiotics today, something stronger for what appears to be a drug resistant bacteria.  I'm a lucky girl.

This is seriously kicking my ass.  I'm so tired and rundown, I can barely think.  My sinuses and lungs are so clogged, I can't breathe.  All my energy goes to getting up, getting dressed and trying to look alert at work since I don't feel alert.  I started a jewelry class this week for my 40 before I'm 40 list,  and went to a Phillies game for Rick's company picnic and I'm paying for it.  My normally fast-paced gait has turned into a lopsided shuffle.  I'm in bad shape.

So, you see, trying to recount my life in some mildy amusing anecdotes isn't happening.  I can't even think of anything remotely funny or interesting to say.  I'm kind of sleep walking through everything.  I have ridiculous stories I want to tell you guys, but if I did it now, it would come out in two sentences and two boring ones at that.  I guess I could just whine here everyday.  Would that be alright?

I ain't too proud to beg - stick with me.   I have fun things coming up, I need to be healthy for them and I want to be able to recount my adventures here.  This stronger antibiotic better work.  Next weekend I have a trip to New York planned, the next I'll be going to two concerts, the next I'll be heading north to Easton, PA for a brewfest with good friends I haven't seen in forever.  I'm sure hijinks and mayhem will ensue, I need to be 100%.  Or at least somewhere approaching that.

Stay well peeps.

Retro Monday - Far Gone and Out

I first heard this song on an episode of the The Real World, the first season.  You know, the good one in New York in 1992.  I believe Eric and Julie were running around the city having fun, with this song as the soundtrack.  Why, why, why do I remember that?  My brain is filled with useless things.

Do you ever have that feeling, when you hear a song and you know you'll just love it forever?  For me, this is one of those songs.  The lyrics don't really mean anything to me (which I'm very big on), I just love the sound and how I feel when I hear it.  Anyway, this was my introduction to the Scottish band The Jesus & Mary Chain.  I ran out and bought the album "Honey's Dead" and it was put on heavy rotation, the whole thing is good.  It was usually the CD I listened to while getting ready to go out on the weekends  My hair was still permed and poofy, so this took some time, along with proper application of black liquid eyeliner.

So go poof your hair, apply your black eyeliner and get moving!!

the cuteness will kill you

Saw this on Petunia Face's blog and had to share.



How adorable is that kid?!  She made me smile on an otherwise crummy day.  Yes, I realize it's a commercial, but it's a good one.

Wouldn't life be great if we all that kind of an energy and ability to dance with total abandon?  I would also prefer life to have fun choreographed dance numbers, but that's just me.

I'm off to turn the music up and shake it.

Retro Monday - The raddest jeans you've ever seen. And the supernatural.

The year was 1986, I was a sophomore in high school and obviously very cool.  You can tell by my fake Ray-Bans, a sure sign of my awesomeness. What about those pants you ask?  That's right, you are feasting your eyes on...floral jeans.  You know you want 'em.  You can pick up these or these or these.  If only I'd saved mine to sell at a huge markup on the internet.

I just have to say again.  Floral.  Jeans.

I wish I had been wearing what I usually wore with these magical pants, which would be a baby blue, deep v, large knit, acrylic sweater.  With a white tank top underneath of course.  And big, baby blue gemstone drop earrings.  Don't forget white and baby blue scrunchy socks with my white high top Reeboks.  I had that garanimal shit down pat!  I really did love that outfit.  My best friend Althea, had the same pair of jeans and we used to wear them on the same day.  OMG, we were cool.

So, has anyone noticed, what the heck is that above my head?  Did my hair fly up? Is that some shadow?  I am now convinced it's a ghost holding the sickle of death.  I always thought that house was haunted!  Do I have some ghost attached to me?  Is it following me through life and creating bad energy.   That could totally happen because I saw it once on an episode of Ghost Whisperer (or as Rick calls it, Boob Whisperer starring Jennifer Boob Hewitt).  Great.  Now I need her to come and see the ghost and talk it over to the other side and deliver some message to me about something in which the ghost will say all kinds of stuff and she will translate in to three words.

Ugh.  Happy Monday.
