… when i have questioned my decision to start a blog. those particular times seem to happen when i take a looksee at one of the many lists the french blogmasters formulate about my site. the google searches that get people here (really now… ‘asian babies with foot?’ what the hell is that about?), the pages people look at while there here (some of you are a little obsessed with the cat, i can see). and some of the websites that maybe link here. and some that are unaware that i can see that they’re stealing my pictures and claiming them as their own.
i may be a little grumpy about that.
anyway, i’ve decided to make a list. because while it’s nice to be back on the medication (now, there’s a phrase i never thought i’d find myself typing), i’m not back to my usual self. although, i did use the phrase ‘lung butter’ to describe sputum (phlegm for you regular folks). so… uh… getting back to being myself. and this list is just random bits of stuff. feel free to check back in a week or so, when i am back to using my powers for good or for awesome.
- turn on your speakers. go here. you may need to change your pants after. we here at the hospital just spent a few minutes laughing hysterically over that video.
- i am all about smells today. i bought a body spray that calls itself ‘juicy pomegranate’, and it smells divine. i’d really llike to smell like that at all times.
- as an aside, i can’t eat pomegranates. the medication i’m on, that keeps my heart inside my ribcage? pomegranates and grapefruit are contraindicated. actually… i don’t have to give them up forever. in combination with the medication, these fruits will sedate me further. which may not be a good idea most of the time.
- i was invited to an honest-to-god keg party. my friend and co-worker is thorwing this shindig that relates somehow to football. so, beer! and a port-a-potty at the end of his driveway! good times! i’m normally not a beer person, but this promises to be a fun few hours. it just sounds silly – people over 30 hosting a kegger. seriously, it will be sheer silliness. i’m charging my camera batteries as we speak.
- i had my first exam in phlebotomy class. i didn’t spend a lot of time studying for it, because i felt pretty well-prepared. i had read all the materials, been to all the lectures, blah blah blah. with the exception of one or two minor points, i think i did fantastically well. which could be really good, or really bad. hope to find out in a day or two.
- i know i keep whining about this, but crazy aunt purl is coming this week, and i can’t go. because i can’t miss school. i have seriously considered trying to put the cat on the train out to powell’s. since she’s a cat person – which may be a bit of an understatement – i’m sure she would make sure kitten got back to the house safely. and she could have my book autographed. hey! if you’re free thursday night, drive over to cedar hills. the bookstore is massive, and laurie is hysterically funny.
- i still love my car. if you were curious.
- i have another knitting post coming up, because i might have finished two projects in the last few days. i was so excited, i ripped back something else, and started another something else!
that’s all i’ve got for right now. but hey – thanks for stopping by!
