I am stupid.

I have lost my paycheck. In the years I've been working, I have never lost a check. I put it in a bag of clothes I had to return and I'm relatively sure it is now in the trash at that store. But they say they don't have it. Who knows. Maybe it fell out in the parking lot. Anyway, I'm super happy because it has all of my information, including my social security number. Yay for identity theft!

Edit: The paycheck has been located. I put it in a different bag. I'm really not very bright.

Cooking, Work, Wedding

I wish that potted herb was basil because I ran out tonight making pasta sauce. I tried the gorgonzola cream sauce and it smells a bit rank. Maybe I still don't like blue cheese. I thought my tastes had matured enough for it. The rankness could also be the wine I used, which was certainly not a high quality wine, but it didn't look shady by any means. Hmm. I have yet to taste it. The tomato basil is cooking away now, so I will taste both when that's done.

Everyone who shopped at Michaels today had a return. I'm sick of the damn returns. Also, everyone wants to ring their shit up in seperate transactions which ruins my front end effectiveness. You don't have to understand this, just understand that it is a bad thing. Oh, also, every pregnant woman in the Northeastern Ohio area went to Michaels today. I swear, there were thousands.

Laura's wedding is Saturday and I still don't have an outfit. I think that's tomorrow night's project. Tonight's project is wrapping the present and making the card. I got some super cute stickers/embellishments for the card and I imagine that it will be beautiful. Yay!

The rain is messing up my take-lots-of-walks plan. It's irritating.

Herpes-free is also assumed

Tuesday shall be 'If I Had a Boyfriend Day', because we don't have our camera yet and that will make 'Look at What I'm Knitting Day' a wee bit more difficult.

(Note on 'If I Had a Boyfriend': These statements describe the ideal boyfriend. I don't want to hear your horror stories about what boyfriends are like in reality. No one needs that.)

If I had a boyfriend: He would know never to bring flowers, but he might come over with a potted herb every now and then.

Every Monday is President's Day

We start with Gerald Ford, in a serious moment:

Positive Energy

I made a relatively angsty post last night about being frustrated and angry and crap. I felt the need to purge this blog of such negativeness. Life is a lovely thing and I must concentrate on that. Otherwise, my head may pop off.

But, I will repeat my excitement for the nice weather. I will be taking walks often and I really think I want to try golfing. This is a new development. I have never given two shits about golf, but it looks like such fun. Are you still allowed to drink beer on the course? Anyway, I think I will drag a family member or friend to a range and see what's up. If I hate it, then I won't attempt the course.

Ruby (my reaver ship of a car) is getting a new part tomorrow. I'm told it will reduce the volume of the car by at least 50%. Here's hoping.

My current favorite song...

Don’t tell me what to think
Cause I don’t care this time
Don’t tell me what you believe
Cause you won’t be there
To catch me when I fall
But you’ll need me when I’m not here at all
Miss me when I’m gone again
I’m going down in flames
I’m falling into this again
-"Going Down In Flames" by 3 Doors Down

Seriously!

Hurray for Ronald Reagan! The other day the people on the radio were playing clips of his Challenger speech and I really think I felt my panties drop a few inches. And that's from the grave. Thank God I was underage when he was in office.

I'm thinking of coming up with a plan. Something specific to post each day. A category, if you will. Because it's hard to share the tales of my life without being whiny.

Presidents

Jenny and I have found a new hobby. We take pictures of past presidents and caption them. It makes us happy. Here are a couple...

I am a genious.

Alright, I came up with this genious idea for Jenny and I to share a blog. It makes all the sense in the world because, really, neither of us is interesting enough alone to fill up a blog. But together? We are a powerful force.



I'm bored.
