It’s Me, the Cynic.

Posted on by

Well, Christmas has come and gone. Another year, another round of family and presents.

Christmas is always fun because you get to see people, eat good food, and open things specially picked out for you, but in reality, it’s just another day. This isn’t me being cynical, it’s just me realizing that we put all this pressure on certain days to be more amazing then regular days, but the bottom line is, they are just days. The sun comes up, the sun goes down, whether its Christmas, or your Wedding day, or a Tuesday.

I’ve been through quite a few ‘momentus’ days in my time. There is all this build up, this pressure, this expectation of what it is going to be like, and then it comes and then it goes, and you realize that the build up is better then the day itself. I’ve always found that about Christmas. I love the decorating and the preparation, the shopping, and the planning, but the day itself, well it’s just a day like any other day, and then, in a matter of hours, it’s over.

And then there is New Years Eve. For some reason this has become very important to us as a society. New Years Eve. I’ve never really been a fan. Again, there is all this pressure to make it amazing. Lets get all our friends together and get dressed up and drink as much as possible and then stay up ALL NIGHT LONG! No thanks. Ok, maybe I am cynical about New Years Eve. Every party, event, or gathering that I have ever been to has never fulfilled my expectations. It’s not that my expectations are very high, it’s just that there is never that magic, that spark that turns a night from fun to amazing.

Maybe I’m just an old goat.

I think I am itching for a change. A life change. I’ll keep Chad, but maybe we can change the things around us.

I can feel it in my bones. 2011 – the year of change? Sounds good to me.

Halls in my Mouf

Don’t mind me as I ramble…

It seems that this past weekend and it’s late nights has now trained me to not want to go to sleep  before 11:30. This is very unusual. What is more unusual is that I am neither a Morning person or a Night person. I’m kind of ‘In the Middle’ person. I can’t handle early mornings and I can’t handle late nights. Am I just the pickiest person ever when it comes to being awake?

I called my Doctor yesterday morning to make an appointment to get my Thyroid Pills. This year has been kind of annoying with how many times I’ve had my prescription changed on me and how many times I’ve had to go for blood tests, but I guess in all reality they are just trying to make sure I’m on the right path. I have a bad habit of waiting until the last minute to get my prescription filled. I always think I have way more pills left then I actually do. This time I thought I would be proactive about it. I have 48 days of pills left, but when, you may ask, is the next time I can see my Doctor? Oh, he is booking for Feb 10th…Excuse me!? Oh but wait, they are having an open clinic next Monday which I can go to try and get my life saving prescription filled. I just have to wait in a room for hours on end until they see me. You know how clinics are, TOTAL DISASTERS. I do not have a lot of faith in this working out for me :S

Every single time I touch my hair, it falls out. Not in clumps, but in strands. Am I shedding for the Winter season!? I get that 30 hairs fall out of your head every day, but if I actually counted the number of hairs that fall out, it would be way more then 30. I know I am over reacting, but it is HAIR and I am a GIRL and I don’t like the thought of LOSING it.

I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat. I haven’t had a sore throat like this in years. I was, however, smart enough to grab my Oil of Oregano and down some. It’s weird how something you use to season your food (to make it taste better) can taste so absolutely horrible when you take it as concentrated oil. It worked for a good two hours, but now I am back in pain. Must find juice to drown out the flavour.

95% of my Holiday Adventure Plans have been canceled thus far. I am not a happy camper! I tried to organize everything this season so that I would be able to enjoy all that this city has to offer, but my efforts have been fruitless. Friday night is on the cusp of being canceled and I am counting on Chad to save it.

Tonight I get to decorate the Family Christmas tree. NOTHING will ruin it, you hear!

Inner nose Cold Sore!!! *FIST PUMP*

Ugh

I slept well last night. I went to bed early and actually had good dreams. I felt good waking up today, and now I feel like the life has been sucked out of me, probably by my cold sore.

It is going to be a long slow paced day.

On a positive note, I am having a great hair day.

Theres Never Any TIME!

Someone get me some Caffeine pills, cause I can’t seem to catch up on ANYTHING.

Here’s to another night working late and another night where I will attempt to catch up on my blogging.

I’m so excited…I’M SO EXCITED…I’m so…SCARED!

At least I found this.

“Time? TIME??! There’s never any time! I don’t have time to study! I’ll never get into Stanford! I’ll let everyone down! I’m so confused.”

Ugh. My life is falling apart.

Topics of Conversation

Posted on by

These are the current topics of conversation that are on my mind this wonderful and enlightening Monday Morning…

Things that make the morning commute intolerable.
- Cyclist – Thank you for making us all slow down and move over just so we don’t run your slow ass over. Thank you also for cutting us off and scaring the crap out of us.
- Buses, especially on and around Commerical & Broadway – Thank you for taking up two lanes and piling up in the intersections allowing no one to get through.
- Hungry Commuters – Thank you for causing a traffic jam trying to get into the line for the McDonalds drive through. I’m sure pure crap and coffee is an excellent way to start your day.

My disdain for this weather.
When we came back from Italy, I knew that I had to get our deck in order. Before leaving I cleaned up most of the stuff, but since 95% of the plants were still alive and thriving I figured I would let them be. Once we got back, however, I decided it was time to clean everything up. I got everything in order but couldn’t cover it all up with our tarp as everything was soaking wet. So I left it. I left it for a day in which the sun would come out and dry up the deck enough that I could tarp it and prep it for winter. Well, this day has still not arrived. There have been a few week days where the sun has been out, but by the time I get home it is pitch black and even with the small light we have, you can not see a thing. I fear we might loose our deck to the winter weather.

Facebook Events.
We had this conversation about Facebook events on the weekend. One Pet Peeve that was brought up was peoples total lack of effort. We have taken the time to set up an event that we wish to invite you to. You are on Facebook 100 times a day stalking people, and yet you can’t take 3 seconds out of your day to respond to our event. Thank you for ignoring us. Another one, which personally stabs me in the side, is peoples pure rudeness. Again, we take the time to create an event and we invite you to it. You seemingly wish to attend and reply as such. You them bring up the fact that one of your friends is not invited to this event and so we go back and invite them. You create conversation on the event wall, and as far as we are concerned, you seem quite positive about this event. Then, the day comes, its time for the event, and oh, whats that? Oh, you just don’t show up. You don’t show up and you don’t make any effort to contact us to let us know you aren’t planning to show up. Are you kidding me? As far as I am concerned, I really don’t care if you want to come to our event or not. We have invited you because we thought you might enjoy the company and might have a good time, but if its not your thing, or you are busy, then just say so. What the hell is the point of telling us you plan to attend our event, when in reality, you are are just going to be rude and lame and not show up at all? Now, some might say – Oh it’s just a silly Facebook event, aren’t you over reacting? No, I am not over reacting. This is just a perfect example of how people these days have no integrity.

Fruit Flies.
It is November. Why in the hell does our office still have fruit flies? Are we that disgusting?

Shaz.
I kind of think I am obsessed. I hope that doesn’t sound too creepy. She brought me chocolates.

I think I am just kind of fickle this morning. Actually, I think I am just fickle, period.
