>Just another manic Monday

Filed under: Uncategorized
June 24, 2010

>Wait, what, it’s Thursday? Oh bother.

I knew that, I’m just sitting here with no earthly idea what to say and hoping inspiration will hit. Preferably with a sledge hammer. But its not happening. Nope not at all. So you may have to weed through a page of drivel. This year I had every intention of posting every day. I was going to have a nice blog post so my devoted readers could read everything I was doing. When I fell behind, I recommitted to twice a day to catch up. I think I am well past that and will not be able to reach my goal of 365 posts in 2010. Mainly because I seem to have lost the ability to take a thought and expand it into a coherent blog post.

Maybe I should rephrase that, I get thoughts, and I roll them around in my head and think, I should blog that, then when I eventually get to my computer or phone e-mail I have forgotten everything I wanted to say.

Of course there are also the things that happen (like right now I am dealing with family stuff) that I don’t want out there on the internet, some things that involve other people so I don’t really want to publicize the either. The family stuff with probably show up here eventually, and the other things to, but after they are resolved. I am kind of like that.

So it’s just a dry spell, I should be back soon, maybe with 3 posts a day.

>Time for bed

>Sitting here trying to think of something to say while I stuff myself with Milk Duds®. I can’t even of what I wanted to post earlier. Here’s the thing, on the train in the morning, I always am thinking of what I want to post, normally I get my phone out and send an e-mail here to post. This morning I was just so tired I didn’t. I kept thinking about all day and never did, and now I don’t remember.

The shower is leaking, D can’t do anything to fix it right now because he is still recovering from his surgery. I did my hair last night so I needed to wash it tonight, I figured the best thing to do would be to go to the gym. Then I decided since I was going to the gym I should work out and now my legs are sore.

Well, I am just rambling here so I will say goodnight.

>why I can’t get up early, I know why, it’s because I don’t go to bed early enough!

Tonight is a perfect example, I keep saying, to myself, your head is aching, you have to get up early in the morning, you have a monster sunburn that you are not going to sleep well, and my answer to myself? You have to type your blog post before you sleep! The problem is, when I am tired and achy, I can’t think of anything to say!

This weekend was very busy, and this week promises to also be busy. Got a meeting and my off day and D is having surgery this week. So yes, now I am going to bed.

>I’m back (once again)

Filed under: Uncategorized

>For all of you who commented on my PFF, I have approved your comments and thank you for them. I was away from my home computer for a few days. I mean I was home, but had no time or was too tired to even turn on my computer. I have less of an urgency to do it now that my e-mail comes to my phone, and I can go on DITL, Facebook and Twitter on my phone, and those are 4 of the 6 main reasons I go on the computer, 5th is blogging and 6th is the other sites I can’t get to my phone. That is not necessarily in order of importance.

Yesterday I was not sun smart (as my doctor tells me to be) and so my legs are fried. I don’t know how long I will be able to keep this laptop on my lap. My shoulders and back are also burnt but not as red. I don’t know if you can see how truly red my legs are here, but they are very red and painful. My shoulders are also burnt, but not as bad.

Something else making me happy is seeing all the flags lighting up on my blog. I have worldwide appeal! I never thought I would have people visiting my blog from all over. Very nice.

>So two short posts today. I hate posting when I have nothing to say, especially when I read other blogs with their elegant prose. I don’t have the ability to strings words together to make beautiful phrases and provoke deep thought. However, I have discovered that the more I post, the more I have to say, I remember what happens and find creative ways to say it. However, tonight my brain is not coming out with any profound thoughts.

If you came here hoping to be entertained or enlightened and are disappointed, I am sorry. Just in a slump, I am sure it will lift soon.

>To my blogging. I think the only way is to start blogging again by e-mail, that way at least something is going up. Since baseball has started up I have been concentrating my attention there. Time to find some balance.

Em and I went to the game last night, got home very late hence I am super tired right now. Add to that the fact that I am getting my nails done (regular appointment) adds to the longness of today and means I will miss most of today’s game.

On the other hand I still love my Palm Pre.

>I was away too long

>I didn’t tell you about “Timestalks – Rob Thomas, Singer-Songwriter; A conversation about music”, I didn’t get to tell you about the new washer. I missed posting my postcard on PFF. I have it scanned though and I will do it next week.

Timestalks was an interview with Rob Thomas, there was an audience and toward the end they opened it up for questions from the audience. It wasn’t a concert per se, but he brought his guitar and did some playing and singing, and now for the funny. Tigger was attending a lecture at John Jay. Em was getting her nails done so she asked me to walk down there with him. Which I did, then I walked back to meet her at the Timescenter Stage. She went there from her appointment but needed to find a bathroom. So she starts walking down 41st Street. She sees these two rather large men, and with them, Rob Thomas, she was 5 feet from him and didn’t even say hi. She was very upset, so of course I was razzing her, then she would say something like, “This coming from the person who when she met ….. ” It was a fun time.

Sometime in the past week or so the washer died. Completely. Normally D can get it running again, but this time it was a burnt out motor so no way. Thursday, on our way home from the city, Gwen sent Em a text about Em’s anniversary present. D had found a washer somewhere for a fantastic price. Its a front loader, which is what Em wanted, large capacity, also what Em wanted, and has sensors and things so you don’t have to measure the soap. You set the water temp, the type of clothes you are washing, how well you want them spun out. The washer weighs the clothes and puts in the right amount of soap and water. I did my first load tonight, and the clothes were almost dry coming out of the washer, I didn’t notice any nasty lint on them either like with the old washer. It has a hand wash setting. I may put my tights in see how that works.

The old washer was a washer dryer combination, so we no longer have a dryer. I had to clip my socks to hangers to dry them and hang the towels over the bottom of a hanger. I have a drying rack, but no place to put it. I’m am not really going to miss a dryer, I only used it for towels, sheets and socks and it steamed up the basement horribly.

I am pretty sure there was more to say, that is what I get for not blogging all week. Oh, I got a Palm Pre and got in a minor accident. I will have to talk about those things later.

>No longer cranky

April 5, 2010

>I was planning on typing a post up Sunday, it was going to have the title, Still Cranky, cause I was. Instead of getting ready to watch baseball I was at the laundromat because our washer died. Em is upset because going to the laundromat is taking away from her workout time. Not only that but buying a new washer means she won’t be able to get her iPad when she wants. Or her piercing. Except she has decided not to get the dermal piercing because her naval piercing isn’t healing.

On me, my naval piercing has healed beautifully, its my ear lobes that won’t heal. Go figure.

It is so late, and I am so tired, I can’t remember what else I was going to say.

Good-night all.

I am annoyed

Filed under: Miscellanea
March 31, 2010

and not just with my co-worker (who I might just kill before I leave work tonight). I was thinking I would start with the minor annoyances and move up, then I realized they were all minor. I mean, if they were major, they would be problems not annoyances.

The first is I can’t customize my Yankee blog. It is on MLB.com and they have 3 different templates and no way to add widgets or any cool stuff. It is their site and apparently they want the blogs to have a more or less uniform look. I already found out they censor the language. **laughs** I suppose I could always start another blog with blogger and make it pretty, but I have no way of transferring my blog posts to it, or I don’t really want to try, so I will just go along with a Yankee blog with no cool gadgets. I will just have to dress it up with pictures of cool guys.

The other thing that annoyed me today was I had a blog post all typed out on my phone to send, I pressed said, I got a message that said there was a problem, try again, so I did and the message was deleted. I was very annoyed because I jammed my thumbnail last night and it hurts to type out on my phone. The train was pulling into GCT so there was no time to retype it. It took me that long because I kept falling asleep. I am now wondering if I should include jamming my thumbnail as an annoyance, but I don’t think I will, that is more like an injury then an annoyance.

Now that I start listing these things it seems there are not that many things annoying me right now. I can only thing of one more thing. Wachovia is annoying me. I had insufficient fund fees over $200 last month (this week). What really annoys me, is I went to get cash Monday and I checked the balance first, the ATM showed a balance of around $80 dollars. So I got $20 out, one of the overdraft charges is for that withdrawal, it seems at that point I was already overdrawn. If the ATM had showed a negative balance, I wouldn’t have gotten money out. I hate Wachovia. I used to think they were an O.K. bank. Now I hate them.

That seems to be it. I can’t think of anything else bothering me, and now that I have written this out, these things are no longer bothering me. My blog is my therapist.

>More tweeking

>You know how it is, when you just get that bug to redecorate. Since I live in a basement, my decorating opportunities are limited, so I rearrange things here.

My book blog has three columns, and I just never thought this one would. One reason was the background is not conducive to text, very pretty but sometimes you can’t read the words. Then I learned how to put a solid background behind the text. Cool. From that, the decision to put 3 columns was easy. I was tired of how far to scroll and things just kept piling up on the side, so now it is a little more even.

What do you think? Don’t be shy, comment away!
