SARA AND MOM, i hope you're both happy...

Do you see what happens when I start a blog, I immediately run out of things to talk about and even remotely interesting things STOP happening to me. RIDICULOUS. I blame you guys. So now I must go on blogging about nonsensical crap that no one really cares about but me...


THINGS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME (and probably don't care either way):


~Probably my greatest hobby is researching and planning cruises. I can easily spend hours and hours of my life pouring over every little detail and making lists of pros and cons and reading countless reviews and planning the perfect vacation. And every once in awhile, when I'm super lucky and the stars a line just right, I actually get to go on one. But even ON a cruise, I'm already putting thought into the NEXT one. It's almost as if planning and fantasizing about how great a cruise COULD be or might turn out, is almost more fun than actually experiencing it. This bizarre personality has followed me from back in my barbie days. Gretchen and I (the buddy bears) would spend hours and hours planning what are barbies were going to do. The planning stage is riddled with excitement and the possibility of "anything could happen" and then you get to the actual (whatever it is you're doing) and you realize what's actually happening and you're like "okay well this is still cool but ummm yeah I pictured it a lot better..."


~My brain doesn't really operate on a normal level. It goes at some kind of random warp speed that enables me to multi-task even within my own mind. For example: I can type reports and listen to books on tape. And be doing both with great accuracy. (Okay, average accuracy). Alright, good enough that I don't get fired.


~The perfect evening for me doesn't involve candlelight or dancing but rather really yummy food, eaten on the couch with craig, while watching a movie. And then later, snuggling with cooper while watching scooby doo.


~I'm not a fan of jewelry and I have no "accessorizing sense".


~My feet are completely flat and I find wearing high heels (or any kind of heels) very challenging to absolutely impossible. It is sadly hysterical to watch me attempt to walk in anything other than sneakers or flops.


~Sometimes when spelling my last name for people I linger on the S-E-X part just to watch their facial expressions.

~Sometimes I ponder idiotic crap such as the phrase "everything I touch turns to gold" then I analyze it in my head and I rationalize how I wouldn't want EVERYTHING I touched to turn to gold but maybe every third thing, that way I could count off what I did and didn't want to turn to gold. And then I thought what would really be cool is if I could just point to a thing and say "turn to gold" and that worked. And then I remembered that probably I'll never be able to turn anything to gold so all of this is a moot point.

~I really like how Joey (from friends) called it a MOO point and said it was like a cow's opinion, it didn't matter, it was MOO.

~I would have liked to have been present when certain phrases were coined such as: "The elephant in the room", 'It's raining cats and dogs", "break a leg", "steal one's thunder", "wild goose chase" "a skeleton in the closet", "run amuck" and well, the ever popular "Cluster ___". Except just kidding about the last one, bahahahaha.

~I'm glad I missed the making of these phrases: "Curiosity killed the cat", "going to hell in a handbasket", "speak of the devil", "don't let the bedbugs bite" and finally "the proof is in the pudding". I hate pudding

~Sometimes if ever forced to drink hot tea I literally gag.

~I hold the worst record as match maker...of anyone ever.

~I thought I wanted to read the entire Bible but I didn't enjoy that. I would sit down with my schedule and mindless try to race to the end of my allotted quota for the day. I do much better just sitting down and reading (even just a little bit) and absorbing what I'm reading and letting it sink in.

~I just realized that I would have also like to experience first hand "letting it sink in". That had to be a fun one.
