you know that feeling when you know you should go to bed because its really late but you don’t want to because your mind is whirling and you can’t shut your brain off, plus you’re not really sleepy and are just in that dreamy state of mind where random bizarre thoughts pop into your head and you are really considering driving to the airport and … Continue reading

zombie brain
My “grey matter” as a former English teacher used to refer to our adolescent brains, has been completely mush the last couple of days. Maybe its too much Dora and not enough veggies or something, I dunno. I do the whole zoning out thing quite well but some days its way worse than others. I need a challenge of some sort. Some new stimulation or … Continue reading zombie brain
go away crazy world
What is up? Mass craziness, that’s what. Lets see…Fisher is out, Egypt has completely lost its mind and I can’t get past Level 12 of Angry Birds. Some of my friends are going through tough times and I feel helpless. This week at work has been the most maddening yet and my potential new career seems to be held up in some sort of limbo-land. To combat the … Continue reading go away crazy world
various and sundry
I always read that word in my head as “Sun Dry”…as in, “I let my wet shirt sun dry”…or something…ok, wait, actually I guess I would really say “I let my wet shirt dry in the sun” or “I let my wet shirt air dry” or “I threw that wet shirt in the dern dryer”. Yeah, probably that last one. Whatever. Yes, I’m back to sporadic … Continue reading various and sundry
limbo
i’m contemplating lunch. what to have, what can i get for $6? do i go out, sit in my air conditioned car in the park, bring something back? if i get a happy meal do i get the boy or the girl version? it makes all the difference in the toy you get. should i go get a drink of water first? do i go at 1:00 … Continue reading limbo
yawning
I have the worst time coming up with post titles…so I just called this one what I happened to be doing at the moment. I have discovered that when I’m stressed or tense, I hold my breath. Not to the point of passing out or feeling lightheaded, but just enough to make my chest tighten and feel weird. Its an annoying habit. Um, I’m pretty … Continue reading yawning
the flood
so, nashville, i love you. the last several days have been madness as you all know by now. no damage at our house. but so many others…there are just no words. besides the greater heartbreak of the stories of loss and death and unbelievable survival, how surreal was it to see nashville and it’s landmarks consumed by floodwaters? and it’s not just nashville. we can’t … Continue reading the flood
aaaaaand here we are
Hi. I’m in one of those “I feel like talking/typing but I have nothing of value to say but am going to post anyway” kind of moods. Which usually ends up to be long rambling paragraphs about baby poop or the dream I had last night. But you don’t mind or else you wouldn’t be here reading. Or maybe you’ve already clicked off and are … Continue reading aaaaaand here we are

tower pics
I just now turned my office calendar to April. Yes, that’s me, always a few days behind the rest of the world. Anyway, it’s a Paris, France calendar and this is the picture for April. This is a picture either me or hubs took on our trip there that I just found on my computer. That’s it. I’m turning in my notice and going to … Continue reading tower pics
well here we are but where is that?
Life is messed up. Generally speaking. Things don’t make sense, get all crazy, aren’t logical and sure as hell aren’t black and white. Sometimes I think I will never figure things out. Never figure out what I’m supposed to be doing here, what I want to do here. I envy those people who know what they want and just go do it without overthinking things. Or … Continue reading well here we are but where is that?
too early for this stuff
Up at 3:30 this morning to get to the gym by 4:00. I made it and could definitely tell that I hadn’t been there in about a week. But I was there and am back on track. The PMS week gets me every time so really, I only expect to do ok at this diet and exercise stuff 3/4 of the month. TMI? Heh, sorry. … Continue reading too early for this stuff
in which i shake my fist at the universe…
…and she laughs in my face, and then spits snow in it. Today was just bizarre. Here was my plan…take kiddo to day care, come home, make quick grocery run, get ready and drive back to town for an interview, interview, knock their socks off and get an offer on the spot, do jubilant cartwheels down the hall and all the way to my car, pick up kiddo at … Continue reading in which i shake my fist at the universe…

template stuff & a sam pic
I’m thinking of changing my template again. I’m very partial to the current one but…you guessed it…I’m bored, need a change…oh well, in the meantime, here’s a picture of Sam being goofy. In this particular instance she would get into this position, then turn her head to look at me and say “poop”, then resume position…I have no idea either…I think she just likes to … Continue reading template stuff & a sam pic
two very important things
1) I hate cheesy ringtones. To be more specific, I hate ringtones in general. This quirk of mine came to mind because some random person just walked in my office and his phone lets out an obnoxious and somehow techy-pervy “BOW-CHICA-BOW-BOW”…I mean, really? And there’s nothing like doing your business in the ladies room when the chick’s phone in the stall next to you sings out “I WILL SURVIVE, … Continue reading two very important things
this happened to me today & i was super bummed
know what i hate? when oatmeal raisin cookies fool me and i think they’re chocolate chip cookies and i buy them looking forward to a yummy snack only to discover the awful truth when i bite into a perfectly good grape that has been shriveled up and is all wrinkly and chewy and sticks in my teeth. that sucks. just had to get that out. in other … Continue reading this happened to me today & i was super bummed
the vicks thing
Oh, so I’ve gotten several questions about what in the world was I doing, where did I hear of such a thing, you are a crazy person…regarding putting Vicks Vapor Rub on Sam’s feet at night to help with the congestion/coughing. I read about it once on a mommy message board but never tried it until last night. And you know what? It did seem … Continue reading the vicks thing
padoodiddyloo
don’t go all nerdy on me or nuthin’ and be googling “padoodiddyloo”. i just made it up. i saw this quote today and snickered (people do not use the word “snicker” nearly enough do they? dang i need some chocolate now…) because it reminded me of myself…Henry S. Haskins said…”The time to stop talking is when the other person nods his head affirmatively but says nothing.” … Continue reading padoodiddyloo
just me…talking about stuff
First and most importantly, the earthquake in Haiti…horrible, tragic, unimaginable…things like this put my silly whining and craziness into severe perspective. You can donate at several places but two of my favs are the American Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. Speaking of things these tragedies put into perspective, I keep hearing all these rumblings about some guy named Lane Kiffin leaving TN and heading … Continue reading just me…talking about stuff
inky dinky rinky

10 things on a Wednesday
#1. I am not having a mid-life crisis, a quarter-life crisis, an end-of-life crisis, or ANY kind of crisis. Just so you know. So please stop freaking out. #2. I am off tomorrow and I am going to spend mass amounts of money (via a giftcard, don’t panic you-know-who) on new workout gear. #3. I am headed back west this weekend to visit grandparents and such … Continue reading 10 things on a Wednesday
what i would’ve given to have seen this…
Rumor on the streets is that my mother (Maw Finn, you might know her, she comments here sometimes) performed some kick-butt karaoke this morning at a middle school talent show. Its official. I live in BizarroWorld. And that’s cool with me. Love you mom. You crazy lady. Go here to read about the show. Thanks ‘Coma. Continue reading what i would’ve given to have seen this…

ok
why doesn’t the name “wally” rhyme with “sally”? this occurred to me on the drive in this morning and will not go away from my brain. much like my question about why the last part of the word “arkansas” is not pronounced like the word “kansas”, or vice versa. these things bug me. and this is why i do not care for grammar. if whoever … Continue reading ok
