Gimme Gimme...

Since tonight is the night off from my OH so adventurous life I have decided to get a jump start on my Oprah is going to make my wildest dreams come true wish list. AKA Christmas list.

This lovely bicycle. It looks so cool and so modern yet retro at the same time. It comes in my favorite color too! Blue!

Yes.

I know.

I have a lovely bike at home but Oh the fun I could have with this one. However I don't have the money.

But I would like to dream of it.

See publicbikes.com for info if you want a cool commuter bike. Buy one and get me one too!

I Wanna Take Your Picture

There are certain things I have learned that with your siblings are the only ones who can accurately judge and support you. They are the only ones who survived all the mistakes your parents made.

I just want to thank them.

For dealing with me.

And still liking me.

It's kinda nice.

I think I'm going to keep them around.

For a little while at least.

I Think I will Sit Myself Down and Write a Letter

Dear self,

Will you today promise me one thing for today? Will you love yourself a little bit more and criticize yourself a little less? When you want to go into super crazy mode and want to stand on top of a park bench will you tell yourself to release it all and let it go?

Please be kind with me today. Some parts are barely holding with the duct tape work that is holding us together. We aren't as strong as you think we are. Will you say seven nice things to random strangers today? Put a smile on your face and go Que Sera Sera.

When somebody attacks us will you instead of blasting with all the pent up rage of teenager go you weren't very nice and walk away before you say something that you can't take back.

If you can do that for me today I promise you soon we will have a coke and piece of cake.

Best! Love!

Your best self.

I'm Not Calling You A Liar...

I want me some sugar!

No.

Not that kind of sugar.

The grainy kind.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

Its week two. And things are going great. I sleep better. My skin is clearing up and my insides are functioning a lot better. But it's a boring world without coke sometimes. I notice when I walk down the street I no longer want to teach the world to sing. However since giving up coke I notice how many people drink soda. We are a very happy soda drinking city here in O town. It comes in all sizes and shapes pretty and ugly it's a universal drink.

Yet I think how much I have spent on it.

For such a cheap drink and my bad math skills I figured if I spent 1.25 a day on a bottle that's 459.59 cents a year I would spend on just one bottle for everyday. That's a lot of sugar!

I'm a little obsessed. Can't you tell?

Hello Loved Ones...

Its been four days three hours and forty eight minutes since I've given up coke and cake. Today is the day where I want to start a a fight with a barn yard animal. Preferably a donkey or a pony. Why do I have such hatred toward ponies and donkey's? I really don't but it sounds so much fun to say when you are kinda punchy. I just want to punch a pony! Sounds much better than I want to punch a pillow!

For some reason I think it's funny. However seeing how ponies kick back hard I would probably lose. Its been one of those weeks.

It's Been A while...

Happy Labor Day!


I hope that you had a great labor day weekend. I did! I labored. It was actually pretty nice wonderful running weather. Glorious fall! Yay for no longer having to peel myself off of my sheets tossing and turning to find that one glorious cool spot. No more hiding myself inside during the hottest part of the day going I'm going to burn gonna burn! No? Maybe it's just me then.I will miss the warmth of early summer,sitting on the lani and reading a book with a bottle of mexican coke.

Some things about summer you just can't transfer over you know?

Ps.Day 4 with out any coke and the headaches have finally gone away! Yay! Just an update on the no sugarness. I have decided to gradually give up the sugary stuff. First Coke and Cake (not together although that does sound lovely) then on to the whole band wagon.

Running to Be Free

A forewarning this post has been a work in progress for the last two weeks since the wedding and I was trying to be ever so witty about how to answer the dreaded question "So how's your Love Life". I tried to answer the best way I can and all I got was this so I hope you enjoy it.

There are some days where I can sit down and all the words that have been tumbled upside my brain come spilling out like a big ole summer rain storm just letting everything spill out of me craving attention. Screaming notice me! Notice me!

Then there are days like today.

Where I sit down to write these deep thought provoking post and all I can think of is looking out of the window and yelling PARADE! and silently sneaking out the back door so you don't read this drivel crap I occasionally produce. By the way this parade trick works wonders when you are stuck in an awful conversation with someone. The kind where they want to know the oh! so juicy details of your life's most embarrassing moments like "When are you getting married?" it's quite simple my single friends. Point to the wall or window and yell with quite a bit of enthusiasm and conviction yell "Why look a parade!" and then while their head is turned dash for the nearest exit. Or also if you are in very close quarters a simple "ever since the accident'' and then trail off in the opposite direction works too. Cause people are often very polite and won't ask what kind of accident happened to you. I prefer to say this to when people ask about my love life well ever since my second marriage...

So if you are one of these people who ask such deep and probing questions about my love life you now know what three answers you will receive A. Parade B. Accident or C. Vague reference to a marriage that hasn't happened yet. You've been forewarned.

I'm afraid today is either/or kinda day. Either you will read this and go! Oh! Or you will righteously hand me a cigarette and a blindfold and say Adieu!
