• I just finished mowing the lawn. I mowed the front yard, the back yard, my neighbor’s front yard, and my neighbor’s side yard. When my OCD kicks in, you’d better look out. I’ll mow right over ya’!  

• I’m going to be seeing another new doctor tomorrow. I’m hoping this one will be good. The last one I went to was alright, but clearly seemed overwhelmed by the amount of issues I’ve got going on. I need someone who is strong and able to take the issues on and beat them into submission!

• I cannot get that freakin’ “Chocolate Rain” song out of my head. It’s not the original, thank God. It’s the Chad Vader version. I loves me some Chad Vader. His videos are SO funny.

• My Mom already lost her job. :sigh: The people sent her home today…telling her it wasn’t a “good fit”…whatever the heck that means. Here she goes again, though. The job hunt continues.  

• Do I even need to bother saying that I have nothing planned for dinner? It’s a given at this point, isn’t it? I never plan this stuff out.

• I’m wearing a pair of Lonnie’s boxer shorts (blue) with a v-neck undershirt of his. I look so feminine and dainty right now.       I was hot, so I grabbed whatever was close to put on!

• I surprised Lonnie with a bagel a little while ago. I toasted it and put cream cheese on half and butter & strawberry jam on the other half. I thought it’d be a nice gesture. Well, when I brought it to him, I got a, “Oh, thanks”…and that was about it. I said, “Hmm…I thought it was pretty nice of me to do that for you.” He said that it was and that he appreciated it. Once again - actions speaking louder than words.

• Smoked Almonds are the shiznit.

• My son’s Math teacher called a little while ago. He has a big, fat F in Math. Wonderful. Here we go again.

• I still have yet to hook my webcam up.

• I’ve got a hilarious Photoshop idea going on in my head. I need to pump that sucker out soon…Casey knows what it is. I’m sure she’s anxious to see it, too!    

• I gotta turn some music on before this whole Chocolate Rain thing drills a hole right through my frontal lobe.

• Okay, Danzig it is.

• We watched a movie last night. I can’t even remember which one it was. That pretty much says how much I enjoyed it, huh?

• Meh…Danzig is not hitting the spot. Time to look for something else…

• Skinless it is.

• Lonnie probably wants to smack me for paying some real music. I can’t help it. A person can only listen to that other jive for so long ’til they just NEED a fix of the stuff that makes ‘em truly happy.

• It pisses me off that I can’t bake my kid treates to bring to school on her birthday. They have to be prepackaged bullshit treats. Not cool. As if I’m going to poison my child’s classmates? I mean, come on! Isn’t that taking it a bit far? I want to make the most adorable cupcakes ever, but they won’t let me.    

• I am completely addicted to Plackers. I use those things at least twice per day. They make flossing SO much easier! I have ‘em in my purse, in my car, in my bathroom…everywhere I might end up needing them! They’re really thrifty, too! Totally worth each cent.

• GAH! I’m not enjoying this music, either! I’m so indecisive today. Gotta go look for something better….

• Okay, now I’m going with Devildriver. Most certainly not my favorite band on the planet, but darn it. I just cannot make up my mind!

• There’s a basket of clean clothes sitting on my bed waiting to be hung up. That is SO not like me! I can’t believe they’re just sitting there. I’m not even going nuts wanting to hang them up, either. I wonder if that new medication is starting to actually work. I kinda hope not. I mean, if it makes me lazy, who the heck needs that?!

• I feel like baking something. Cupcakes, a pie, maybe even some candy. Not sure. Just something. I’ll have to look through my cookbooks and my online sources.

• Alrighty…I guess I’m done babbling about absolutely nothing. Thanks for hanging in there with me. If not for you, my readers, I’d have a sucky life! You guys keep me going…especially those of you who comment. I love you guys!

Today’s Random Person was spotted doing some groundskeeping in front of Taco Bell. What a lovely job he’s done thus far, too. Very well kept. I hope he’s very proud of his handy work, because without him and his green thumb, the place simply wouldn’t look nearly as nice as it does!

• I’m listening to Radiohead again. Yes, I know…again.    I can’t help it.  I love ‘em.

• I’m kinda blah today. Not sad, not depressed, not…whatever. Just blah. I’m here.

• I just changed my sidebar mood thingy to “Just here.”

• I’ve been posting the heck out of Twitter lately. I’m not sure why, but that thing’s addictive! I was sitting here looking at their site earlier and was in awe over the simplicity of it. Seriously. Why couldn’t I have thought of that?! It’s SO simple! Between Lonnie & me, we could’ve built that sucker in a couple days…or less. Oh well…more power to ‘em! I’m happy for whomever came up with the idea. It’s a gem.

• I mowed the lawn yesterday. BIG freakin’ mistake. Ouch…I’m paying for it. My back was totally not up to it…but it had to be done. I could have asked someone else to do it, but umm…I think not. I’m way to picky and anal retentive for that. If they didn’t do it the same exact way I do it, it’d drive me crazy until I went back over it…which would make them feel like crap (rightfully so)…which would have led to resentment…etc. Sooo, the back pain is worth it to save my family! Wow…my logic is so screwy!

• The lawn looks flippin’ awesome!

• Lonnie made me something yesterday…oh man…SOOOO cute! I am going to take pictures and post them. I want everyone to see how much my man loves me. Hehe

• I’m going to make him a loaf of Banana Bread in return. He doesn’t expect anything in return, but I just gotta.

• I spoke with my Dad on Friday of last week. He sounds MUCH better. He said he’s feeling better, but he’s still in quite a bit of pain. That’s to be expected. I cannot wait until he’s fully healed and able to do lots of stuff he hasn’t been able to do in a long time. It’ll really make me happy to know that he’s enjoying life.

• My online store got its first sale!!! Yay! Casey AKA Princess Pwn (haha) bought a Short Bus Hoodie! I am SO stoked! I cannot wait to see a picture of it…and to hear how she likes it, etc.

• I’m supposed to be working right now…on a layout design for a fireworks company. I’m not exactly sure which way to go with it. I have a few ideas roaming around in my head, but nothing solid yet. It should actually be a pretty fun layout to create. I’ve got a lot of creative freedom in this one…which is so killer! That doesn’t happen so often.

• I have this really bad habit of clenching my jaw too much. I do it so much that I give myself headaches. That’s what’s going on right now. As soon as I realize I’m clenching my jaw, I stop myself…but then a few minutes later I catch myself doing it again. I’m such a dipstick!

• I hate it when the coffee at the very bottom of my cup gets cold and I accidentally take a drink of it thinking that it’s still hot. GAH! What a rude awakening!

• GRRRR!!! I was just clenching my jaw again! :slaps self:

• It’s gloomy again today. I’m noticing a drastic increase in gloomy days as of late. :sigh: Boo & hiss! That means Fall’s on the way….I dread this time of year. It used to be my favorite time of year in Montana, but here in Oregon and Washington it’s absolutely miserable. I actually used to love rain, but now I loathe it. It’d be one thing if it rained a lot in Fall & Winter….but not constantly. It literally rains every single day for months. Before we moved here people were telling me, “I hope you like rain!” and, “It’s hard to get used to the rain”…etc. At the time I thought, “Psssht. Whatever. I love rain! I can handle it.” Wow, was I wrong! It’s truly the most depressing thing ever. I already have problems with depression…and especially seasonal depression. But to add this incessant rain into the mix - well, I don’t know how I’m going to make it through another year of it. I’m going to look into purchasing a light box, though. My insurance should cover it, so at least there’s a little glimmer of hope.

• Alright, it’s time to go work now. I’ve procrastinated about four hours away so far. I’m sure Lonnie’s totally thrilled about it, too! Haha…have a killer day, everyone! :love:

 • I don’t have much time, but I at least want to get a couple random things rattled out.

• The reason I don’t have much time is that I’ve got to make dinner for everyone. I’m not sure what to make yet, so I’ll just have to wing it.

• I wonder when the first day of school is around here? I’ll have to call around and ask.

• I’ve been drinking this bottled water called Earth2O lately. It’s excellent. I know most people are like, “Give me a break. Water is water.” …but it’s not. Not to me, anyway. There are some waters that taste raunchy and others that are good. Earth2O is a good one.

• I’ve been in a really snuggly and cuddly mood for the past three or four days. I kinda like it. I’ve missed being all affectionate. I think that Lonnie and I kinda chilled on the affection when we were having to share a hotel room with my mother and two kids for three weeks. Now that we’re in our own home, we need to get back in the snuggly mood!

• I mowed my lawn and also the neighbor’s lawn yesterday. I’m amazed at how awesome the lawn looks after only three weeks of being here. It went from being all dead and icky to being one of the nicest lawns in the entire development! Yay!

• I got a really ugly rash on my neck and upper chest two days ago. It’s still there, too. I have absolutely no idea what it’s from. I’m thinking it’s an allergic reaction to either my new conditioner or my new facial scrub. I’ve discontinued using both of them and once the rash has cleared up, I’ll try them again…one at a time. Hopefully that’ll tell me what’s causing the reaction. Until then, I hope this goes away…it’s freakin’ gross!

• We installed an air conditioner in my son’s room a little while ago. He overheats pretty easily and when that happens, he gets really bad nosebleeds. He’s been that way since he was a toddler. Hopefully it’ll stop now that his room is the same temperature as a meat locker.

• My daughter made friends with the 7 year old little boy who lives next door. His name is Ronnie…or Ronny…whichever. He’s a really well behaved boy with wonderful manners. Such a pleasant change from the kids I’m used to her hanging around.

• My Dad goes in tomorrow for his heart surgery. I’m nervous and worried. I’m sure he’ll be okay, but still…how could I not worry?!

•  Well, my kid just came in to ask what I’m making for dinner, so that’s my cue to get off of here. Have a wonderful evening/day/afternoon…whatever it is when you’re reading this. Catch ya’ later!
