Random Thoughts and Musings

I was tagged by my ladybug, @NotAMeanGirl, back in December. I kept intending to get the post up on my blog … but I kept forgetting to blog. The last month has pretty much been a blur.

So, finally, here is my post.

Rules first!

• Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules in your post.

• Share seven random/weird facts about yourself.

• Tag seven random people and link to their blogs.

• Let each person know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment in their blog.

Factoid 1: I hate white walls. I do not know where this factoid came from, but I do. White walls are boring. Clean, yes. Lighten a room, yes. Boring? CHECK! Bah. I want to own a house again, so I can paint the walls.

Factoid 2: I have selfish friends. This came up because today, my friend called me when she got fantastic news. I squealed, jumped on my bed, and cried with her. I called her with the same news 9 years ago. Know what she did? She said, “Oh … how cool. You’ll have to invite me over sometime,” and rushed off the phone. Today, I mentioned it after we had talked about her news a few times. Her explanation, “I was jealous.” This is not the only example of selfishness this - or any - of my friends have displayed. It is just the one that came up today. On the other hand, my selfish friends all have pretty amazing lives. Hmmmm … something to think on, mayhap.

Factoid 3: I misspelled “news” every time I typed it in that previous factoid. I spelled it “knews.” What the hell? No, I do not know why, nor do I think it has some subliminal message. I only wanted to point that out because I have several friends that believe I have a red pen duct-taped to my hand. I do not … I swear!  I make mistakes often. I do not even re-read blog posts and emails to find them - they just scream out at me most of the time. Sometimes I do not catch them … usually, though, I forget to go back and correct. I have a lousy memory.

Factoid 4: I like fans. I hate when I watch design shows (which, admittedly, I grew out of a few years back … but was addicted to for the several years prior) and they remove the ceiling fan in the bedroom to put in a fancy light of some sort. Uhm, scuse me. What the fuck are you doing? Now, the a/c has to be turned on in what would have been an otherwise perfectly comfortable room if it had a ceiling fan! and I do not mean those rinky-dink fans with sissy blades. I love the fans with the big fat blades and really strong motors.

Factoid 5: I am deathly worried about Baby S. I cannot STAND the thought of something happening to her. I do my best not to cry or get upset in front of C & B. I find myself crying myself to sleep at night when they are not around though. I have nightmares about how it would affect all of us, about what it would mean to us.

Factoid 6: I am not superwoman. I am spending less time doing things I want to do and more time doing things I have to do, and it is starting to get to me. I want a vacation. I want to go to Disney World and play for a week. I want to go get a massage. I want a manicure/pedicure. I want a Brazilian. I want some divinely sexy man to take me out to dinner and order a bottle of champagne. I would settle for the massage, actually. Hot stone massage, given in a dim room with soft music playing and candles lit all around me. Le purrrr. Back to the point: I am not superwoman. I am not superwoman. Le sigh.

Factoid 7: I have a lot of weight to lose. I have lost some on my own, and will continue to do so. I want, though, to go to the doctor and get a prescription and eat nothing but good foods. Do you know how EXPENSIVE it is to eat healthy? It may not seem like it to some people, but when I have to be prepared to share everything I buy with at LEAST 6 other people … it costs a fortune. So, I want a job that will pay me enough money that i can afford to pay $300 to start the medical program and $100/month to maintain it, and buy all healthy foods and not this crap we keep in the house now. There are a million things I *should* want that amount of money for … a million things I could do with it, a million people I could help with it … but I - very selfishly - want it for me.

And there it is, folks. I feel like I should go back and swap those around so I do not end on a completely selfish note, but that is the order that the “randomness” ran in my mind. This whole blog was literally a bunch of ramblings thrown in together.
