Clue #3:

Oh. My. Gosh.  I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad it’s Friday.  I honestly don’t know why, but I am just glad.  This has been a long week and honestly it was just a 4 day week.  Sheesh.  I have a lot to do this weekend regarding homework.  I just looked at my classes this quarter and they are somewhat a metaphor of myself right now.

Into to Theatre

Alanis:  Isn’t it ironic?
Priscilla:  Don’t you think?

A big shout out to my baby brother for winning a shining star at his place of work.  Hands up for Marty!  He so rightfully deserves it.  Should be running the damn place if you ask me.  And give another shout out to my girl scout troop.  They turned in their cookie pre-orders today.  Who knew selling cookies could be so stressful.  Thus why they earned the stress badge today.  Still taking orders if you have a hankering for them delicious cookies.  Only $3.50 a box!

Peace out fellow people . . .

The Secret Word Is: January 20, 2010

I’m gonna give a shout out to one of my favorite people from my childhood – Pee Wee Herman.  Who did not love Pee Wee’s Playhouse or Pee Wee’s Big Adventure growing up?  He is truly one of a kind!  Remember how Pee Wee would always have a secret word?  Well, I hope he doesn’t mind . . . but I am going to “borrow” his secret word idea and incorporate it into my own personal secret.  At each blog I do, I will list one word that is a clue to my secret.  Today is day 99.  98 more clues to go . . . WOW!  That’s a lot of clues.  If anyone figures it out my secret in advance (#pleasedontruinsurprise), I will personally make them a basket of my world famous partymix.

Today’s clue is:

100 Days January 19, 2010

Greetings to you all!  I have apparently flaked on my commitment to blogging everyday for the New Year.  Well, I’ll just have to do the best I can and get up, dust off my shoulders, and start over.  So here goes!

As of Monday – January 18 – I have given up sodas . . . until at least my birthday (which is in 39 days, but who’s counting) .  Yesterday was a tornado in the world of #singlemommyhood.  But I did not waiver, even though there is a Coke (glass bottle, I might add) sitting next to my microwave staring at me and saying “drink me.”  But I have to persevere and say no!  The goal was to go back to the gym too (for New Years and Monday), but let’s not get ahead of ourself.  It’s nice to know that even though I can’t be committed or consistent with certain things, my ADHD is consistent and committed in not letting me follow through with my goals.  Bastard.  🙂

So I am sitting here eating my ice cream topped with magic shell and I’d like to invite you to play a little game.  I have a secret and no one, except my mother, brother, and hairdresser know.  It’s not of the typical fancy – I’m not pregnant, I’m dating anyone, or do I have a new job.  It’s of the fun, variety sense – an adventure of sorts.  So in 100 days – you will find out the answer to my secret.  Each time I blog, I will start off with (1) word, a.k.a. a clue,  and if you follow along, perhaps you will figure out the mystery before the 100 days.  But in all honesty, it will be very hard to keep my trap shut, since keeping secrets is not my forte.  Although in my defense, I have gotten better with age.

So ready for that clue?  Well here it is . . . . .  “The Sign of the Green Tree.”

Twitter Me This January 6, 2010

So I have missed a couple of days.  Boo hoo.  I hate I flaked on my commitment, but the past few days were hectic.  I had to start school on Monday and Spencer started back Tuesday.  We also had to travel back to Rome from Macon after being gone for almost three weeks.  So me, the kid, two dogs, extra stuff left the Conga at 4:19 AM on Tuesday and headed up I-75 South in the fahreezing cold!  Anyhoo, back now and somewhat settled.  Supposedly we are to get snow tomorrow.  People are kind of freaking out.  After-school activities are being canceled, we’re on alert as to whether actual school will be canceled.  I’m kind of glad I live in a state where you say the word “snow” and everyone is all “the sky is falling, the sky is falling.”  Yeah, people in Seattle are like that too.  Macon and Seattle have this in common – say the word SNOW – and all the grocery store shelves become bare and the gas stations fill up while the pumps fill down.  Why is it gas stations become so happening during possible snowstorms.  Not like anyone can go anywhere.  Black ice people, hello?

Ok, so another reason why I haven’t blogged is because of my new obsession . . .  Twitter And I am talking this is full on lust, oh my gawd, this is the most exciting thing EVAH.  Yeah, I’ve got no life.  Ha ha!  No, it’s really a lot of fun.  I’ve been on Twitter for awhile, I just wasn’t into it that much a.k.a. I didn’t know how it worked.  Well, I now know somewhat how it works and am getting the hang of it.  It’s celebrity driven, but there are regular folk like you and me on there.  It’s interesting how you can strike up a conversation with certain people and see what you have in common.  You’re free to “follow” anyone (unless they protect their tweets) and if you’re lucky, they’ll add you back.  Which is the polite thing to do.  You should try it and once you get the hang of it, you’ll be tweeting Twitter’s praises in no time!

Bass Ackwards January 2, 2010

Ugghh . . . day 2 of the new year and my sleep schedule, not to mention my offspring’s as well, is totally flipped.  I am gonna blame it on the full/blue moon.  Which is beautiful by the way.  I am going to go outside in a moment to take a few pics.  I took some this AM when we went to J. Christopher’s for breakfast.  I just got a giggle while rereading what I just wrote and am amazed at the obvious of ADHD at it’s finest.  One moment it’s sleep patterns, another moment it’s the moon.  I guess I am supposed to roll with it.

Being the infinite-tasking gal that I am . . . I am gung ho about some Twitter.  At first I was like, “what is the fuss?”  But now, I may be getting into the swing of it.  I don’t think I’m totally down with it, but give me a few days.  We shall see.  It is a neat concept to be able to communicate via tweets to people (a.k.a. celebrities).  I mean c’mon . . . isn’t the real reason people primarily use Twitter is to communicate with the likes of John Mayer, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, etc.  It’s ironic to me that most people don’t protect their tweets on Twitter, but they majorly lockdown their Facebook info.  Anyhoo, I think it’s cool that celebrities use it to talk with us regular folk, it’s just boggling that some morons are rude and degrading to some celebrities.  For example, some jerk off was blatantly rude to Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey.  And the things he said to her were disgusting.  Why people even think it’s okay to talk like that is beyond me.  Get your head checked out buddy.

Another good thing about the new year is Facebook giving me the opportunity to catch up with an old family friend.  This person was so special to me and my family and getting in touch with him was like no time had passed.  He was the one who loaned me his car to take my driver’s license exam – which will be 20 years ago come this February 27.  My how time flies.  Moments like this is when I love Facebook’s purpose.

So we will be heading back to Rome either tomorrow or Monday or possible in the wee hours of Tuesday.  I have had such a great time at Mom’s.  I start back to school Monday, Spencer goes back to school Tuesday which also means I start back to the gym.  I am not intending to go into this with the goal of losing all my weight.  My intentions are just to incorporate the gym into my daily life because it’s something that should be done.  I want to go to the gym as if it’s something I like to do, not something I have to do.  Know what I mean?

Out with the old, and in with the new January 1, 2010

What a year 2009 has been.  Looking back it didn’t seem all that crazy, but when I sit down – peach margarita in hand – and think what all went on, I am a little overwhelmed I managed to survive.  What’s even more crazy is that a whole decade is over.  I can’t believe that!  Where does the time really go?

I am not much of a resolution person during the New Year, but did come across a few I felt that were realistic and beneficial.  I am going to make a conscious effort to get back to blogging.  Watching the move “Julie & Julia” over the holidays has inspired me.  It has inspired me as well to not be so lost – a feeling I feel quite so often.  So even though I am finishing up my Associate’s Degree this year (I’m on the 10 year plan for the 2 year degree), I am heavily thinking of going to the vocational school in Rome to learn a skill.  My other resolutions I have made are simple, yet so important.  The first (which I began before the New Year) is texting while driving.  It seems rather hypocritical of me to say “don’t drink and drive” when I have (notice have as in past tense) texted while driving.  So that is done, no more of that.  “I’m a safety girl!”  Anyone tell me what movie that’s from??  My second resolution is to go to the gym on a more realistic/consistent basis.  At least until my birthday.  Since being diagnosed with adult ADHD this year, I have realized that this is what inhibits my ability to follow through with things, so at the recommendation of an article I read, I have to take steps (baby steps it seems) in order to follow through.  So no more 3 hours, 2 times a day spells at the gym trying to be Wonder Woman and burn myself out in a week.  I’ll go for no more than 2 hours after I take Spencer to school.  So definitely stay tuned.
