I'm still here

My internet is no longer working. I have limited access to the computer at work. I am going to take a leave of absence until I get my internet situation figured out. I will be back.....Promise!

Hair dryer blues

Sunday afternoon I was drying my hair. I had barely gotten started and sparks flew everywhere and the dryer stopped. It was defiantly dead. I was faced with go through not only the day, church and Monday with no hair dryer or rush out and buy one. I hate my hair being wet when I go out in public. I have to at least dry my bangs. I stood in my bathroom staring at my now dead hair dryer contemplating this. I decided to buy one. I put my wet hair up and dash to the store. I picked one out quickly. This is unusual for me. I have a hard time making decisions. I have to see all my options, then decide. I still looked at all the hair dryers just really fast. I went home and finished my hair. I thought it did an okay job. Today, I don't like my new hair dryer. I want my old one back! There's no way its making a recovery. Do I keep my new hair dryer? Give it a chance or get a new new hair dryer?

Monday

I didn't get enough sleep on Sunday
A teacher's out today
When the craziness begins
I have too many friends
And the day never seems to end
Thank you for our nap today
Please let me make it to Tuesday!

Strange things are happening

My sweet Gizmo has been doing strange things lately.....

He's been digging in the trash. He's probably looking for a yummy used tissue to chew on. Yuck! He chewed on my mascera. Thankfully it was the clear kind and it didn't come open. I don't even know how he got a hold of it in the first place. He tore up one of my beaded pontail holders. There were beads and wire all over the place. I sure hope he didn't swallow any of them. How did he get that?

When is he doing all of this? When I'm on the computer. I think he's trying to tell me...." Mom, get off that stupid computer and spend some more time with me! ". Okay, okay! I get the hint!

Missing stuff

You ever spend forever looking for something? I do. I'll do it two or three times a week. Especially with clothing items and keys. The most recent was when I was getting dressed to run an errand. I wanted to wear a tank top. I couldn't find my strapless bra. I looked in all the usual places I would keep it. I just keep going back to all those places...drawer, laundry basket ( yes, the clean laundry ) , dryer and finally the washer. I'm so determined to find it. I'm not wearing something else. My mind is made up. I spend five minutes looking and find it in the laundry basket.

Keys are the worst. You have to have keys to go anywhere and I'm usually in a rush to get out the door by that time. It can be very annoying and frustrating. I spend a lot of time just looking for things.

Glistening

I'm sitting here in my stinking hot apartment trying to save money on my electric bill. I'm wondering if its doing any good at all. I just got my electric bill and it went up ten dollars from last month. I feel like all my efforts have been wasted. Maybe I should say all my sweating. Oh that's right women don't sweat, we glisten. All my glistening has been wasted. I'm ready for the hot months to be over and the cheap electric bills to be here.

Give me a break

On my weekly Monday movie night, my friend and I decided to get Chinese for dinner. Yum! It was my turn to go to my friends house. I gather up Gizmo and head over to pick her up to get our food. I clearly park in the take-out only parking. We get out and a man walks up to me and says, " Excuse me? Your not eating here are you? " He says this while he's gesturing to Giz in the car. I tell him, " No, we are picking up our food and will be right out. " We were in there at the most a minute. When we come out the mans little girl is barking at Giz. This is making Giz nuts. The man says " look like your dog and my daughter have made friends. ". I choose to ignore this remark. If he is so worried about my dog he should keep his daughter away from my car and my dog. I appreciated his concern but, I wanted to tell him to mind his own business.
