weather changing - hormonal headaches PItA...

Ok, I've grown weary
weary of my monthly headaches
sinusy-weather changing - funny how they happen around
"that time of the month" headaches...
Sometimes ibprophen works
Sometimes tylenol (generic) works
Sometimes Excederine (again-generic) works
Sometimes heat, sometimes cold
never quite the same combination
any two headache bouts in a row
Even neti potted my schnoz
trying to free the back-up
congestion
Didn't really help
Besides backing up into my throat and
making me gag...
But now, this darn headache seems to be fading
slowly but surely
I am hoping it stays away...

I am rambling...

Did you know there is a "Money Crisis"
that the "Economy is on a downturn"
bla bla bla - yeah, I get it - it sucks - but it will get better.

The news seriously finds something to latch onto
and stew about, and spread depressing stories
and keep us all down, anxiety-ridden, begging
our government to help us...

I believe everything happens for a reason
I've been downsized b4, when there was no
economic reason to do so - and I survived,
and I was thankful, it was like the universe hit
a restart button for me - life is better.

Upside - loving life, ultimately I do
I wish I could be suzy sunshine every day
it would probably be less stressful
but I'm realistic, and I get pissy and
can be a cranky beeyotch, a smart ass...
I recognize, I'm human, and it's ok
to turn the tv, and shush people when
they want to talk about everything
that is negative in this world, and
instead, focus on something, anything
that is good...

This blog post is all over the board,
I know, but I'm a wee tired, looped up
on popping pain killers all day, listening
to yet another sub-par epi of SNL
and randomly writing about this that and
the other thing. When I look over at both
my cats, snuggled up tight on themselves,
each on their favorite chairs, delightfully
asleep - blissfully dreaming, I
smile myself, and think... it might be
time to crawl into bed myself,
set my clock an hour ahead
and listen to "Trust Your Vibes" via
my iPod, and drift off to sleep...

February is nearly over...

my oh my, I haven't blogged in awhile - have I? shameful really :)

What's new in my world? Uhm, I am now the proud owner of an Xbox 360 - the middle level one, I caved and bought it when Circuit City had it discounted 20%... I think the best I could have done would have been 30% before they were all gone, but it was soooo hard to resist when I saw it, so I bought it - after tax refunds arrived. Of course, I continued to pick at the decaying carcus called Circuit City - buying games here and there as the prices dipped lower and lower. Currently I am playing "GTA IV" and am utterly addicted. So far there is only one "job" that I am not fond of in the game - a street race, I suck at driving during the "job's" when time is of the essence, I crash into things left and right - flip my car... I just realized the "health and armour" cheat code repairs your car if you are in it when you use it... so now I have my cell phone cued up to cheats while driving so I can inentionally bust the shat out of my car... let's just say so far my favorite car to go on a rampage with is the GTA version of a Hummer... I have to find out of there is a cheat code that will spawn one... that buster can drive over taxi's etc without taking much - if any - damage... Listen to me! See, I told you - addicted.

A bonus with the Xbox being linked to the 'net is that I can fill my Netflix instant access cue up and have a bunch of movies at my disposal. Fun fun!

Things at work have been crazy busy - and I'm ok with that! I'd be a little scurrred if work slowed down too much! We're getting an addition to our dept officially next Monday (3/2) - a friend and co-worker "Val" will be joining us in the role of "Markting Assistant" which is sooo gonna rock, we have needed someone with her skills desperately. It doesn't hurt that we are friends and all three of us ladies have similar senses of humor - but enough difference for a healthy balance.

This morning my car was nearly completely covered in a ridiculously difficult coat of ice. I am now thinking it might have been better had it snowed instead of rain. I had to wait about 15 minutes to leave the parking lot - the only thing that would even budge the ice on the windshield etc was running the car and jacking up the defroster. By the time I got to work I was dying from the heat (in the car)!!! I need to start carrying my camera with me - I would have LOVED a photo of the state of my car this a.m. It happens so rare (thank gawd!).

I am happy it's Friday - I already shut my alarm off so I can sleep in tomorrow - be an indulgent slug for the day. Sunday is off to celebrate Julie (sis n' law)'s birthday. I look forward to seeing my niece :)

Oh - another quick dity to blog about - I am all over the place - recently on Facebook I've had the WONDERFUL luck of reconnecting with some old high school classmates of mine. In fact, I set up a "reunion" group on Facebook so that hopefully anyone from my highschool, graduating year, can find it and join - already people are posting old pictures and I am delighted in all the memories rising up. It is hard to believe that it has been about 22 years since I graduated... all these memory flashbacks make it feel like it was maybe five years ago... our generation looks wonderful for being either 40 - or soon to turn 40 this year... I can't quite grasp the concept of being very close to turning 40... What is 40?

I'll end on that :)

just curious

why people can be so selfish
so stuck in their own little worlds
it's exhausting
i fear becoming one of them
giving in, giving up
but i'm finding my voice
less afraid 2 stand up
to have hope, stand firm

360 move
i am realizing
i have a horrible potty mouth
when i commute 2 n from
work everyday
all those selfish
self absorbed
mccain/palin stickered drivers
getting the fock in my way
dodedodedo la la la
i'm a gonna go 25 in a 40

back 2 life
back 2 reality
hoping for a stress free
fun filled
non-fear mongering
weekend - i best keep
the yadda yadda news off

Should be reading...

and settling in for winters sleep - but instead
I dink around the computer
obsessively reading tweets
skip hop hopping from one
profile 2 the next
I am going 2 start writing
as tho I have 2 keep it under
140 characters if I'm not
careful! Anydoodle -
I do need to pop the
allergy pill, turn da fish
lite off (poor hugh hefner guppy
is gulping his last breath, as
he leaves this world, knowing
he bred tons o' babbbbby gggguuuupppppiiiiiieeeeeessssss)
an aside

and get up 2morrow n' enjoy

Only one post in January???

Ok - this is weak - I started this blog hoping I would keep on actively adding stuff to it, and here we are, Jan 31st and I see only one entry for the month - well, now there are two... A little randomness about everything and nothing - was an exhausting and entertaining week at work - majority of my days spent in a hotel meeting room discussing Insurance stuff, visiting with our out of town sales and service reps, and having dinners in the evening... totally burned out... how did I do this back in the day - working for the fest, twelve, fourteen, eighteen hour days, days on end, for weeks in the summer??? I guess once I left that world and adjusted, I liked having a life outside of work... not that being in meetings all day and dinners at night was bad - not at all - just pooped me out :) It's always great to see everyone and learn a little more about what it is we do - us creative marketing gals absorb it in and it helps when contemplating campaigns and such.

Anywoodle - life in WI, it's supposed to get up as high as 31 today - woo hoo - heat wave! I'm off to take on the day, later on tonight I have a game night to go over to which usually involves fits of laughter... totally looking forward to it...

cold

It's really f'ing cold out. I'm really tired of the cold. I should remember this when it's 100 degrees in the summertime and we are all complaining about the heat, oh the stifling heat... hopefully my car will start - she's been a little fussy with this bitter cold weather - I'm sure I need a new battery as I'm about due for a new one (of course). I am, however, incredibly grateful to have a warm place to rest my head in while mother nature freezes our state... I do enjoy the wide variation of weather in Wisconsin, but sometimes - as is human nature - you just get a little weary after awhile...

I am off to start the car, take her for a drive to warm her up and probaby pop over at Target to find a box to organize my photos in. I've suddenly been on a kick to scan in old pictures and add them to my Facebook acct because it's fun to remember all those past events. I'm a little frustrated with myself that my old photos are here - there - everywhere in misc boxes, wedged in old photo albums, MIA... Also sad that I hated having my picture taken for so long, thus I have limited photos of my teen-twenties years... so, hopefully friends will understand why I take so many now - with the advant and availablitly of digital cameras/photography - it's even more tempting to take obnoxious amounts of photos. Everytime I hesitate and decide not to take too many photos in fear of annoying people, I really regret not having them down the line... every single time I avoid taking them, I regret it later. So, I probably will stop stopping myself... deal with it! :) Everyone cherishes those captured moments down the line...
