I have a value pack of Aleve, 2 in my system already, and two-and-a-half days. Cross your fingers for me – forgive me for not bloghopping – and if I’m not back by Monday, dial 9-1-1.

Does it Matter?
April

2006
OMG – Does it really matter what channel the Administration has on the TV’s of Air Force One? Really? Is this what it’s all boiled down to?
Nah, that reporter shouldn’t have asked about the rising price of gas. He should’t have asked about a million other really important issues. Reporters should always and forever be interested in the stupid crap, the seriously trivial & stupid crap that screams “it figures” in our country. And look who reports the senseless drivel! The same station who is reporting this crap is wasting the Administration’s time having to watch it and read about it on the news now, thanks to this stupid reporter.
That guy got a PAYCHECK for that!! Ridiculous!
Now I know why I don’t watch the news. I just wasted 10 minutes typing about what freakin’ TV stations people watch on an airplane!

My other Thirteens
2. I’m skeert of the dark. I always think people are lurking in the dark. Wearing black. Gonna pounce – hurry up and shut the door – slam! Yes I am. Big. Fraidy. Cat.
3. I told someone to go away like, uhm, over a year ago, and it apparently never sunk in. Ever encounter anyone so thick? Just curious.
4. I love my new haircut. I feel like “me” again with short hair. Even my mom said she doesn’t like me with long hair. I must have been really stinky, or mean or something before my haircut. Did you notice? Why didn’t you say something?!
5. I was hired for a new project lastnight that is going to be super cool. Coming soon – three week deadline on that one! (Hint: illustrations.)
6. I have worn off the following letters on my keyboard: E, U, I, O, S, H, J, K, L, N and M. Strange, I didn’t know what they were when I looked, I had to type them. I still type over 90 wpm. My 4 year old knows which letters I’m missing too, by sight. Please send donations for a new keyboard to missingallmyletters@needanewkeyboard-dot-com.
7. I have a wicked nice tan already. I never tan – but I think my triple-sunburn in Florida last summer has prepped my skin for sun a little better. This year maybe I won’t burn when we get there!
8. We’re looking at spending over a week at the Nickelodeon property later this year. WooHoo!
9. Looks like this is going to be the weekend of big giant dumpster in the driveway. We’re starting the ripping apart of the house project. Wish me sanity – send Advil.
10. My BP just skyrocketed thinking about it.
11. I’m glad it didn’t drop instead. (My BP. haha!)
12. If you say “great TT, here’s mine!” and fly right by, I’ll hunt down your blog and spam it, by golly. Knock that crap off. ‘Nuff said.
13. The new Toyota commercial makes me cry. When does a car become more than just a car? For me, it was when I avoided an accident with ease, was able to brake on a dime, and turn up the stereo from the steering wheel. When did your car become more than just a car?
Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by!

MommaK, the goober, tagged me. I ran as fast as I could, but she’s faster than I am, even with her dancing shoes on. So here we go, more on me, because, well – it’s my blog and she said so. Oh yes, and a new haircut pic. There’s that, too. That ought to get you to stop looking at my cleavage.
I AM: On my first cup of jet black coffee this morning, and still trying to shake off the sleepies and remember the dream I had lastnight.
I WANT: To move. Really badly. But we can’t, until we have our home in listing condition. Getting there. Slowly but surely.
I WISH: There were more hours in a day to get everything done that I’d like to get done. I wish there were no distractions.
I HATE: That I allow people to use me, as I have – for the most part – an inability to say no. I tend to spread myself too thin, and wonder when I’m going to stop that.
I MISS: Something that I never had. Being a daddy’s girl. Having a dad that cares. One that actually calls on my birthday, or visits, or just gives a shit about me and my kids.
I FEAR: That my girls will lose their father and I will lose my husband far too soon. That would be my biggest fear.
I HEAR: Every single bird that chirps. It resonates in my head. It’s beautiful, and springy, and I like it.
I WONDER: If I’ll have enough time today to do the things I want to do.
I REGRET: I don’t regret much. Regrets kind of waste energy and time, which I’m trying to accumulate more of.
I AM NOT: All that and a bag of chips. I try to be, but I’m not.
I DANCE: Alone, usually. My girls won’t boogie yet, my husband doesn’t boogie at all.
I SING: A lot. All the time. Subconciously. Everywhere. Should I have been a singer?
I CRY: When I feel helpless. When I’m touched or reminded of a happy memory. When my girls do something pure and innocent and sweet.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: The friend I wish I could be.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: Something beautiful. Through everything I put my hands on, I try to make something beautiful, something that will be appreciated.
I WRITE: The way that I speak. If you’ve heard me talking, you’ve heard me writing. WYSIWYG.
I CONFUSE: A lot of people, and that’s okay. I’m an artist, artists tend to see things differently, and express feelings differently.
I NEED: Another cup of coffee. Be right back. Okay. Back. I need to win the lottery, so we can hire someone to do the work we need to do to this house to move, and also to buy the house I want for our family. It would be nice to not have to owe anyone anything.
I SHOULD: Play the lottery if I need to win it so bad. Can’t win if ya don’t play, eh?
I START: Chewing on my tongue as soon as my brush hits canvas. Today, I shall chew and chew, and chew. (See that big bird behind me?)
I FINISH: Most of the projects I start. I’m big on seeing things through, and I’m also big on seeing the results of hard work. It’s very gratifying.
I TAG: You, if you want to do it. You’re it! Let me know when you’re done and I’ll link you up.

Thoughts inside my head at this moment, in case you’re wondering:
- OMG, I’m really going to post this picture?
- I’m so impressed that he pressed the button at the right time. Nice job, honey!
- I can’t believe he’s making me post this.
- He’s really not making me post this, he just dared me. I am always up for a challenge. No matter how embarassing.
- I can do it, I can do it!
- Oh jeez, everyone is going to see my ink splotch.
- And my cleavage. Oy! Quit looking!
- I’m gonna hit the upload button…right…here…urgh….crap…okay. Sheesh. It’s done. I did it.
- Actually, this isn’t so bad, because 10 minutes after I saw this photograph, I went and got a haircut. So really, I don’t look anything like this today. Haha!
Also, I had more freaky dreams lastnight, if you want to read about them, visit my Dream Blog.

Man Pats
April
24
2006
Does your man give you “Man Pats”? I have to know. My sister and I had a long talk about Man Pats, and we were wondering if this is much more common among the opposite sex than we realized. Let me explain what they are:
- The Dog: The pat on the head and mussy hair action. Usually just one to two pats at a time with pauses inbetween that last for between 10-20 seconds.
- The Giddyup: The quick double pat on the thigh, butt, or back, that screams “giddy-up, woman!”
- The Citrus Squeeze: This doesn’t need explanation, does it?
- The Sway: Slow rocking from side to side during a hug.
- The Pelvic Sway: Just like The Sway, only with an Added Bonus!
- The Poker: Yes, the poker. You know what I’m talkin’ about.
Have we forgotten any? We’re sure that there are more, perhaps our men have an outdated version of the Man Pat Encyclopedia. Help a married woman out – are there New Fangled Pats available? Younger, more peppy versions of the Old Pats? Are there online tutorials? Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
