Only Read If You're Bored!

I don’t know if anyone else out there is feeling like me today.

* Easily distracted with random thoughts streaming through the brain.

* Don’t feel like working.

* Not feeling like writing (but actually do feel like it just don’t know what)

* Annoyed to be stranded at home with a surly electronics technician with a huge  attitude who expects to be here all (insert preferred swear word) day.

* Developing a huge attitude in response to his (arrow pointing up) stomping around

*Disappointed to be stuck inside on a gorgeous day (If you know me, you know how I get!)

* Eating everything that's not nailed down due to stuck state.

Possibly? Maybe?

I see this post going one of two ways; maybe three ways. Yes, I’m in a sassy/saucy mood too, which isn’t helping matters much over on this side of the screen.

I can tell you about fun stuff from my morning like an awesome rope workout (I’m partial to these even though my arms would like to fall off at the shoulders) with my favorite partner in the whole wide world, Big Dave. Foo Fighters and Kid Rock blaring on the stereo;

OR…

I can explain why I shouldn’t be left home with the “Geek Squad” while they hook up an elaborate TV/entertainment thingy someone took the time to explain to me last night so I could relate to said “Geeks” exactly how things should be set up. I apologize. I really wasn’t listening. My bad.

OR…

I can purge all the sassiness going through my brain at the moment. Just maybe, that should be an entirely different, stand-alone post for some other day. But I could write it, since I have time, then file under the folder “Totally Inappro-pro”!

I don’t believe I’ll write a post about any of those things, or anything at all!

Instead…

I’m checking to see what concerts are coming to Chicago this summer. Kenny Chesney, No. Keith Urban, Definitely Not. Drake, Nope. Who is One Direction? Enrique and JLO, Jimmy Buffett, No, No and No!

If only my guy, Bob Richie, was swinging through. Sadly, it’s not the case. He’s not coming :-( If he were, I’d be all over him…errrr, that (Not entirely kidding, however, I do try to maintain a soft “R” rating over here!)

AND if my girl Pink were coming, I’d be all over her too. I'm not one to discriminate. I'm an equal opportunity "all over you" concert enthusiast! Next year, I hear!

Hey! We all need/have guilty pleasures, right?

I essentially wrote about nothing. Sorry, my friends.

I PROMISE to be more engaging tomorrow!

Since this is so random, I’ll add two of my favorite pictures from the weekend.

I've Never Seen A Swan "Piggy Back" Ride Before, Have You?

Start of Sunday's E-Scow Race (boat smack in center is first all girls racing crew in 25 years...so proud)

What do you write about on a day you don’t feel like putting fingertips to keys?

Oh, and I just got Sir Crabby Pants “Geek Squad” guy to crack a smile. I’m making progress!!!

Peaking Early...Figures

Yesterday I wrote about "Things That Make Me Really Happy" and what appeared to be the makings for one of the most fabulous days in a while. Started out that way. I had the good Karma thing going on all over the place. I should have kept my mouth shut and relished privately in my good fortune.


Sadly, I peaked early or rather, my day did. It became purely average from the minute I pushed the publish button for the post.  That's when things began to really annoy me.


Why do your problems at college become my problems? Hell Week is called Hell Week for a reason so stop whining and suck it up. I was in a sorority. They gave me presents.


Stop asking for so much money. I'm retired right now. I don't have any, or not any I'm choosing to spare. Ask dad.


Don't text me at 2am and be mad at me the next morning when I don't reply! What in the world could I have done for you in the middle of the night? You know who you are. Arrow pointing up.


When your text woke me up at 2am, I realized I was going to be hung over in the morning. Thrilled to have the girl home but overindulged in fine red. Scott's fault for opening another bottle when we asked. Maybe I'm turning into a light weight?


I hate waking up hung over. It makes me very crabby. Thank God I set my alarm.


Why do people in a hurry for the train push in front of you at the coffee shop and then pay no attention to the fact that they let the heavy door slam shut in front of you...John Yeager, it's not your first offense. This is a small town, pal! Start walking earlier.

Why does someone have to be on my ass when I'm driving down a residential street going at least 5 miles over the speed limit? If I tap my brake, you're going to have a heart attack. 

Stop texting and driving while I'm around you. You aren't paying attention and you're swerving. By the way, its against the law in the state of Illinois. Also, you can't be on the phone within a mile of a school. Our town is one square mile, therefore, it's a problem.

Why do some people lack spacial awareness and have absolutely no clue where their body is in relation to mine? It's rude, especially at the gym. I'm taking about you, Tina! It's not all about you.

Lastly, back to a "your problem is my problem". Just because you don't have a driver's license (See "Bail Your Kid Out of Trouble or Not?") and your state I.D. is expired, it is not my top priority today to drive you to the DMV, sit there for two hours, so you can get a new one because you want to go to a bar for Super Bowl back at school.  This is not how I envisioned our afternoon.

Okay, rant over! Got it all out. There's more, like stop moving my stuff, but I'm taking a few deep breaths, pouring another cup of coffee and will happily start your laundry, Princess Pea. Did I mention, I abso-f'in-lutely despise laundry.

Hey everyone...Have a great day.
