Random Musings

  • Are people on the eHarmony commercials really happier than your average couple?
  • Or do they just act like they invented love?
  • Is it wrong for me to think some of those guys are kinda hot?
  • But, also wonder how much shit they must get from their boys?
  • Cuz there’s whipped and then there’s… that.
  • Speaking of commercials…
  • I’m ashamed to admit how long it took me to realize what The Cleaner was about.
  • I thought it was a show where people called Benjamin Bratt to come help them clean up…
  •  After they murdered someone. Eek!
  • I’m serious.
  • I have a way too active imagination.
  • I miss Forensic Files, The First 48, shit like that.
  • I can’t watch it when R is away.
  • That active imagination thing again.
  • Granted, I live on the 3rd floor.
  • But what if Spider-man decided to become a serial killer, huh? What then?
  • Back to R.
  • I miss him.
  • You may think I sound like a broken record.
  • But it’s like a scab that never really heals.
  • I’m going to be super fun when he’s actually out of the country.
  • I prefer not to think about it.
  • A girl in the office and I were thinking of ways to keep me busy with R gone.
  • She suggested crafts.
  • I almost laughed heartily til I remembered…
  • She does crafts!
  • Therefore, she wasn’t joking.
  • Therefore, would not think it funny if I laughed at her hobby.
  • She suggested I Swarovski up some flip flops.
  • Am almost tempted to do it and wear them.
  • Good for a laugh at least.
  • The teen has been relatively nice lately.
  • Meaning, not acting like a total asshole.
  • When he starts heading down the asshole path…
  • I cock my head and look at him as if to say, “Really? That’s really what you want to do?”
  • It makes him laugh.
  • Well, crack a smile.
  • Good enough for me.
  • The challenge to not dress like a slob while R is away is going along swimmingly.
  • For the past 2 days. Ha.
  • At some point, I’m sure it will fall by the wayside.
  • Like, pretty much everything else I decide to do.
  • It’s a wonder I’ve had a blog this long.
  • Or a relationship.
  • Or a kid.
  • The last one is a joke.
  • I’m starting to get the hang of things at the job place.
  • Course now that I said that it will all come crashing down around my ears.
  • Haha. Ahem. Let’s hope not.
  • It’s almost lunch time.
  • Be jealous.

    GIRL I totally thought the cleaner was exactly what you thought! I was shocked when you just told me different :(

    Ben’s an “extreme interventionist” which I guess I could have figured out sooner since they show the commercial 4000 times during one showing of Intervention. I think helping people clean up after a murder sounds WAY more thrilling. ha.

    The previews for The Cleaner confused me too. I kind of thought it was about helping people disappear… like a DIY witness protection program. Stupid previews.

    I’m not a crafty person either… but last year after I got back from dropping Beetle off at the pier, I spent nine hours making a sock creature. I’m sure someone with crafting ability could have made it in an hour or less but I have NO skillz. It kept me from totally losing my shit. This year I’ve been busy decorating/re-decorating my house, visiting with Momma, and for the first time ever, I bought plants and I’m actually attempting to keep them alive. It’s not easy.

    The guy on eHarmony doesn’t have any boys. That’s why he’s so happy to be in a relationship! OR all his boys are married to the Stepford Wives, and now he’s IN!!!

    ROFLMAO!!!

    YOU ARE A MESS!

    BUT HOW TRUE IS THIS:

    # At some point, I’m sure it will fall by the wayside.
    # Like, pretty much everything else I decide to do.

    FOR ME! UGH. SO ANNOYING! I WILL NOT LET YOU LET IT FALL! YA HEAR!

    YES ALL CAPS…SORRY…MY PINKY IS TOO LAZY TO HIT THE UN-LOCK CAPS KEY - HA!

    Don’t judge the crafts! :P I do all sorts of craft stuff. Actually, I feel embarrassed that I’m destined to be an over-educated housewife lol. Well that’s some days, other days, usually when there are children around I think I’ll be one of those parents who sticks their kids in daycare from 7am till 7pm and work all day.

    Betty: I didn’t even think of that! That makes perfect sense. I kind of have my fill of interventions with, well, Intervention so I’ll doubt I’ll watch this show. If only to never hear the song from the preview ever again. I’ve only heard it 2 million times by now.

    A sock creature! I hope you Flickr’d it! Plants are a good idea. I kinda want to order those watering globe things that I’ve seen on the commercials. Problem is, my cats eat all plants. Even the fake ones. I bet the boys don’t do that!

    Mia: You had me dissolve into a giggle fit at my desk - he doesn’t have any boys! OMG. Can you imagine being one of the exes of those guys? Man I’d throw shit at the TV. “You said the same shit to me, asshole!”

    Jo: I’ll try really hard but I’m not sure how long I can keep it up. Haha. I’m so fickle! I’ll try really hard, though, but only for you!

    Nicola: I’m less judging the crafts more than I am my ability to do anything creative with any success whatsoever. I had to glue one little rhinestone back into a necklace I loved and I even messed THAT up. I’m just not crafty. :(

    Talk of the Cleaner made me realize I missed the new episode of The Closer. How similar in name. Lunch looks yummy.

    I LOVE your bulleted blogs!!!! :) Just so you know.

    Maybe you should start putting pics into albums or designing the albums. Something to keep you busy. Blurb is pretty awesome!

    Princess: I have watched The Closer before but I’m terrible remembering when things are on!! Dangit.

    Corey: Thanks doll! Hey you know what, I just may try that. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

    *I love looking at your daily pictures

    *If you fall off the wagon, will you still post the pics?

    *That is what I thought The Cleaner was about…no?

    *Crafts?? maybe to not miss a regular guy, but not R! he’s a big hunk of man! :) You’d have to knit a cozy for his car or something!

    * Thanks babe! I have been trying to take more pics of random stuff as well as to not make my photos all me, all the time. And I was wondering if I would post the pics off the wagon and I have to say yes, cuz it’s more honest. I feel an “off day” coming on actually. ha!

    * No it’s about Ben capturing people for an involuntary intervention. I want to say it’s based on party true events but I don’t know if I’ll watch. My plate is full with my reality trash.

    * I seriously can not stop laughing. His car is white so what color cozy should I knit? lmao… omg thanks for that.

    It should be patriotic, white with red and blue rosettes all over it!!
    Just picture yourself as a modern day Betsy Ross.

    Ok you totally enlightened me about the Cleaner…now I may tune in. LOL You have to try the Thai Chicken WW…its good. I mean its no real Thai, but its good.

    I constantly tell myself I need a hobby, other than eating, shopping and talking on the phone. I’ve been told those aren’t “real”

  16. Mary on Jul 21, 2008 | Reply

    MissPrissy: I told R about the cozy and he laughed. TOO FUNNY.

    Angel: I do like that one but one meal I’m currently in love with is the BBQ Chicken Pizza from Lean Cuisine. The people in the lunch room were all over it! Or, tried to be. ;)
