Things I Wondered, Part 4

First and foremost:

We will NEVER FORGET 9/11. 

I honestly can not believe that it was already 12 years ago that the attacks happened.  I was 15 years old, sitting in an SAT Prep Class.  They didn't tell us what happened.  "Smartphones" didn't exist. Later on in the afternoon, certain students were called down to the office via the speaker system, but no reason was given. I had to wait till after school to see what was going on. I was shocked, and glued to my television all night. What an awful, awful day.

May the victims of 9/11/01 Rest in Peace and never be forgotten.

and THANK YOU to those who have SERVED our country.

• Why do bloggers say "I've been such a bad blogger this week" ?? I mean, if "bad blogger" means not posting as often as Sally Sue does which is 5 times a week at 8:30am on the dot, well then I guess I'm a bad blogger, too.  Seriously though, who made up the blogging rules? Why does every blogger feel as if they have to post a minimum of 4 times a week?  I'm not apologizing for that.  It's called life people.  We have lives outside of this dot com world! 
• Another thing about blogging: people always putting their best images on their pages. I mean, I try to keep it real, and I am one of the first ones to update a GOOD photo. But every blog I see lately is like professional sessions. What the hell? But where are the real pics people? Ones like this:

• My office remodel is coming along quite nicely.  I couldn't help but to snap some sneak pics on instagram! 
• My husband started his new job this week. He so loves it (so far). I'm so happy for him and completely jealous because they have FREE POPCORN everyday at 2pm. What I wouldn't give for free popcorn at my job!!
• I'm freaking exhausted.  It all started with a Friday evening out in Hoboken. It began with some drama (don't care to share), and ended on a FANTASTICAL note. See this picture for the reason why:

I MET VAL!!!! LIVE! IN REAL LIFE. YAY! <-- okay was that weird enough for you?

Here's something even weirder. I told her that I was mesmerized by her. MESMERIZED. While grabbing a drink at the bar. That MIGHT have been the drinks talking, but lets be real, I was totally telling her the truth and beyond freaking excited to finally meet her.

I started questioning my life when I was throwing out some really random old drunk stories (picking up a dead crow and other things), but I know she still likes me because she even texted me the next day :) phew. thank goodness.

• It's Wednesday, 9/11. The eleventh. This Sunday is the 15th, where is time going? I felt like Labor Day was just yesterday.
• I'm considering checking myself into an addiction program. AN ADDICTION TO EBAY. Seriously? Who is addicted to eBay? It's taken over my LIFE. I stalk items I'm bidding on like its going out of style.  I set reminders in my phone for an hour, 1/2 and 5 minutes before the auction ends.  I sit at my computer and watch the countdown, refreshing the page every few seconds...even going as far to have the next bid amount preset in the little box.  It's BAD. BUT I did score a wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my mac at  HALF PRICE. SCORE!
• Does anyone watch Mistresses? Holy hell Season 1 finale.  I have to wait until NEXT SEASON to see what happens to Savi and Karen!?!?!? WTH.
• Revenge starts VERY SOON. I'm so so excited.
• I hate my galaxy s4.  This isn't the first time I'm mentioning this. TAKE IT BACK! I HATE YOU STUPID PHONE. As soon as I can get another phone (ohmylanta, almost 2 years with this piece of shit) I am going back to the iphone. I will never betray you again Apple, I swear.

things i wondered, part 3 of ?

Since I tend to often write what's on my mind, I might as well make some kind of fancy button for it, right?

• You know whats inappropriate and frustrating? Babies in the workplace.

CRYING babies in the workplace, even more specifically.

People.  If you go out on maternity leave, and decide to grace your work's presence with your glowing-post-baby self, with infant in tow, make sure to have a damn pacifier!

I'm currently sitting at my desk and this is going on. I mean, if this isn't birth control, I don't know what is.

Harsh much? Maybe.  But I think I have a right to be mildly annoyed to blog about it. (p.s. i miss that miley!)

• And the fact that it looks like a tornado is going to form at any minute outside doesn't help the situation either. What is this weather? Seriously it was supposed to be sunny and 85.
• Why can't they make designer kids sunglasses?  I'm pissed that I can't find sunglasses that ACTUALLY fit my head (even my ray ban petites are a little big on me).  Does anyone know if kids designer shades exist? P.S. please don't even suggest ray-ban because the kids ones suck.
• I'm really ready to throw my galaxy out the window. Who here has an iphone5 they want to trade for the galaxy?!? ANY TAKERS? PLEEEASSEEE??
• This cloudy vision is starting to get old, real fast. But good news today is that I can see better. And the redness is finally starting to disappear!
• I felt really foolish when I walked in yesterday and saw they had set up a birthday surprise for me. Last week I texted my friend saying "they forgot my birthday! i'm NEVER participating in birthday celebrations again! ROAR!" and proceeded to stomp around like this:

pleeeasseee tell me you know what movie this is from!

truth be told: i react this way quite often to various things that make me angry.

• I just got netflix and Friday Night Lights is one awesome show.  I love Connie Britton in this show, and Kyle Chandler.  Speaking of Kyle Chandler, who hear remembers "Early Edition"? He was the star of the show, a man who would receive the following day's newspaper a day early.  I think I came across this show one time on some random channel. 

• It's only 1:45pm, EST, and I didn't take lunch, and I'm about ready to pretend that I have a stomach virus so I can go home. I'm so tired - - I don't even know why because I go to bed at 9pm like an old lady.  Is anyone else feeling really tired lately? I might blame it on the lack of exercise I've had in the past month and half.

And I guess that's all I really have for you on this Wednesday. Sorry it's just fluff, but I was really wondering these things and had to share.  Also, enjoy this cute video of baby ostriches dancing :)

Things I wondered, Part 2 of ?

• Why do people feel it's necessary to speed in the morning? My guess is that they are late. What good is it going to do if you arrive 2 minutes earlier? Late is late. And no one is that excited to get to work.
• The ladies in work thrive on gossip. It's so irritating to the point where I become a big baby and slam my desk drawers when they are whispering right outside my desk.  I have to walk away and let it be known it's annoying me because they shouldn't be doing that!
• When are people ever going to learn to be courteous?
• My nails need some good TLC.  I think I'm due for a manicure.
• My glasses are starting to leave a bruise on my nose.  That ticks me off.
• For anyone who wears glasses: did you ever drive with glasses and then have to glance down for a second for whatever reason, and get really scared because you can't see shit once your eyes look below your lenses?
• Did you ever try showering and shaving your legs or blow drying your hair with out glasses or contacts in? It's a really hard task!
• I'm really getting sick of the love/hate relationship I have with family members.
• Why it feels like FALL outside lately. STOP. The summer is not over.  I will not accept temperatures below 80 degrees until September 22nd, 2013!
• Speaking of fall, people...STOP PINNING FALL OUTFITS ON PINTEREST. JUST STOP.
• What is it in coffee that makes you have to pee every 15-20 minutes?
• Speaking of peeing... oh my god. When you are in the bathroom, and you are doing your business there is something called a COURTESY FLUSH. Learn how to do it.  And don't deny that your shit doesn't stink because everyone's does.
• I would really be okay if the NFL didn't come on this year. Too bad that's wishful thinking.
• True story: You know you're a cat lady when....your coworker brings toys in for your cats.  

• True story #2: I just put this brush in my Amazon cart after reading Raven's post about dry brushing. But I'm not ordering it because I could probably find something similar in Walmart. I am going tonight. If you haven't guessed, I'm pretty impatient.
• I just had to google spell check the word attendance.  It looked funny on the piece of paper I printed it out on, and then I just felt like a big idiot when I saw how it looked even funnier spelled "attendence"

Well there you have it, a bunch of random thoughts going on in my little head right now. 

In other news, since the official countdown has begun to my big surgery date, I've decided that I'm not going to the gym until I am able to work out without glasses.  I found the Daisy Duke Jessica Simpson work out and I'm going to try it.  I'll let you know how that goes. It's a bunch of squats, planks, weights... you know, basically all the pinterest pins I pin to my exercise board (that I never do).

Who doesn't agree with me that Jessica Simpson looked damn fine in this movie? Don't deny it. Some might say that she was way too thin, but I happen to think that she looks AMAZING. If I could look that way when I walked in the red boots I don't have, I would.

things i wondered. part 1 of ?

I just love starting this blog post with a disappointed Jess face. It is so accurate on how I am feeling lately.

To start, I had my coffee mug on the roof of my car when I parked in the garage at work.  I was getting my things from the passenger side (with the door wide open), and this stupid mug decides that it's just going to fall right off, in the most ungraceful way possible, and spill all over my passenger seat, the windows of the rear passenger, and half of it on to the floor.  It was a miracle that it didn't get on my crispy white pants.  But to make matters even more annoying, I knocked it over again while trying to frantically find some paper towels, or starbucks napkins in my glove box. So more of it is gone. Ok, no problem. Why don't I just drop my badge in the pool of coffee while I'm at it too? and THEN, I kid you not, I spilled the mug on my desk just an hour ago.  It's been a bad start to the day.

I have a bunch of questions that don't require answers, they are more, Things I'm wondering today.

• It's freezing.  Can't these clowns get the temperature right in the office? 
• fashion bloggers, and their look down and smile at the dirty ground pictures, why?
• people complaining about their significant others...it's not nice! my coworker does this ALL the time, and thanks to all her stories, i just see him as one big bump on a log.
• wearing any thing light with a black bra. stop. you look white trash.
• and coming into work with your hair wet, in a half up half down, the half up portion in a bun, with a SCRUNCHIE and a CLAW on top of that. WHAT?!
• Leg hair has grown half an inch from this cold air, when I just shaved them this morning
• Why do I blame the weather on not going to the gym
• I'm wondering how Mike is doing today on his interviews
• Why is it such a task for me to walk to the ladies room? I'd rather hold it all day than get up off my ass and go there.
• I already ate my chips and salsa and i fear i'm starting to smell like an onion
• I love the fact I'm saving money by staying at my parents but I hate staying there because they eat garbage processed food, all the time!
• People who are always coughing need to invest in a throat losenger...
• The fact I have NO work to do seriously scares me

#endrant for the carefree portion of todays post. Thank you for listening :)

On a more serious note: I am feeling, somewhat sad when it comes to blogger. I feel neglected lately.  I blame this on myself.  I up and deleted my old blog without even letting my blog-friends know. I can't help but wonder if they feel hurt and don't want to take the time to recognize my new space on the internet for this reason.  I know that people have lives outside of blogger and it's really unfair of me to judge how or when they follow along with me.  And it's even sad that I think I'm the reason they haven't been by. Full of myself, much?  Yes, maybe.  But who isn't?  Should I have not bought a domain? {it was only $3.00 on godaddy.com!}  Why is it hard for people to commit to a blog by "following" them? It's easier to just type in the web address and read that way?  Why am I getting upset about a stupid number? I don't get how the internet could make me feel so insecure. But it does, as I'm sure it does for others too.  Also, I feel like some of my relationships with certain people have taken a turn down the abandoned lane. Is it me? Is it them? Is it that we don't mix well together?  What do you do when you have the blogger blues??
