Huh?

Okay, winner of the weirdest FB status update for the day: “I was being born with this song playing, cool!” and a link to Journey’s “Open Arms” on Youtube.

God I love Austin.

Watching a preview for the nightly news, and I’d like to isolate this one sentence I heard in reference to a 90-something-year-old woman who managed to take down a purse snatcher… “It’s a Texas Granny SMACKDOWN!”

Little, subliminal FB postings from someone special that reference you…Like the cutest little inside joke ever 🙂

“It’ll be fine, he’s not Lady Gaga”

Every Sunday morning I make coffee and open my laptop to postsecret.com. That, or I wake up on whatever couch/bed I slept on and pull it up on my blackberry. I’ve been doing this since my sister introduced me to it sometime in college. What is Postsecret?PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people…

I am So Scared of Christmas 09.

Remember Big Mouth Billy Bass? When it came out, five of them came to our family Christmas. Know what’s out now? The effing Snuggie. Please pray for me… And Snuggie fans… Don’t worry… The found something to do with all that leftover fabric…

Where’s My Prince?

Dear Over-the-Seas Lover: I realize that you are taking your sweet ass time getting to me. No matter; when you take a break from ruling over your country and finally picking me out that classic Aston Martin that you will have personally delivered to me by Ricardo Alpert [:D]; I think this should finish off…

Seasonal Stress

This was our wellness tip for the week at work… Thought it was worth sharing: Welcome to the holiday season — that whirlwind of gift-giving holidays, marketing blitzes, holiday parties and activities galore that begins right after Halloween, builds to Thanksgiving, and continues gaining momentum through the end of the year. While this season is…

The BEST! #6

We had a corporate staff meeting today about the 2009 business plans accomplishments and where the 2010 business plan is going to go. I got a round of applause for my work during the 3rd hour of the meeting, for a project which was one of the five communications goals for the company. It is…

I Thought the Holidays Were Supposed to be Fun?

NO!THEY’RE STRESSFUL! There’s so much to do… Planning events for the family, planning get togethers with friends, being overloaded at work with huge projects and job transitions, trying to make sure everyone has everything. Eating too much. Cooking too much. Trying to get everything done on one of those stupid timelines. AND THEN, you have…

Kickin’ Christmas Confetti

Made these for my family Christmas party last year and they were amayyyyzing!! Definitely in my annual holiday rotation. From the 2008 Holiday Baking Contest through Texas Co-Op Power Magazine: $3,000 GRAND PRIZEWINNERDonna DeteauBluebonnet Electric Cooperative Donna, who lives in the small town of Paige, 15 miles northeast of Bastrop, is a woman of many…

The BEST! #4

When your boss comes in your office, sits down, and exercises deliberate intentions of not working, two hours after they paid for your lunch.

No, really, HOW did I get here?!

Lately, I am lucky. I live in Austin. I have foot pain from an INSANE weekend, but I know the home exercises on how to feel better thanks to the “Jumping for Joy is Bad For You” Episode of 2003. In the past week I have met two future stepbrothers, which forever changes holidays to…

The BEST! #2

Eating turkey/dressing/cranberry sandwiches the day after Thanksgiving. And still having a weekend to look forward to!

The BEST! #1

So in an unrelated Google search, I came across this posting on HubPages: “Oprah has been trying to get me to do this for ten years now and I once again am rolling my eyes and saying “You were right, Oprah.” It actually appears in nearly every writing on life skills I came across, in…

Hmmm…

I sure wish my readers would leave more comments.

Popular Santa letter program ends in Alaska

By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press Writer ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Starry-eyed children writing letters to the jolly man at the North Pole this holiday season likely won’t get a response from Santa Claus or his helpers. The U.S. Postal Service is dropping a popular national program begun in 1954 in the small Alaska town of North…

Conflicted Feelings about Customer Service…

I thought I would have a little bit of fun with the customer service people of freecreditreport.com. Yes, I got my free credit report from those people with the damn catchy songs, and yes, I fell victim to the “forgetting to turn it off after 2 months free”. Okay, so I’m out $14 or so….

This Makes Me Sad.

Researchers, who surveyed 3000 women aged 18-50, found on average they slept with eight men, but were drunk with at least five, and on two occasions couldn’t remember the man’s name the next day, the Herald Sun reports. Four out of 10 had been tipsy when sleeping with a partner for the first time. The…

Do Gooders: #1

Now, I’m more of a give-your-energy-than-your-money kind of do-gooder. So this is how I decided to do good this weekend: I bought the 2010 Austin Fireman’s Calendar (they also have a firewomen’s calendar if that’s really more your thing). Moneys from it are contributed to the Austin Firefighter’s Outreach fund, which help families with firemen/firewomen…

Fort Hood.

The blood I donated yesterday was through South Texas Blood & Tissue Center. They’re located in San Antonio. I can’t help but hope my small contribution may help someone in need in light of today’s tragedy… Scott & White around the Killeen/Temple/Fort Hood areas are asking people to come donate blood if they can. Visit…

Hope.

I hope I am always a balance of 80% gratefulness for who I am and what I have, and yet still remain that 20% that will always be dissatisfied and wanting more.

Another first!

Today, I donated blood for the first time. Like legitimately. Previous attempts have literally been a cheap ploy to get out of class or score free shirts in which to perform community service. Okay, maybe I did want to get out of about 45 minutes of work today… But I also genuinely wanted to do…

Thankful.

I am so thankful I am not entering into a situation where an in-law has a predisposition to hate me.I am so thankful I am not entering a union where I will be sacrificing more than I should.I am so thankful for my freedom.I am so thankful to be single and not married to the…
