Atlanta bound

Well, I leave this evening for Atlanta, GA. I'm not particularly confortable flying, so hopefully everything will go smoothly. Besides the fact that I dont want to crash to my death in a plane while sitting by my annoying boss and some other person I've never met before, I have this "thing" about airplanes. It may be just me, but I get this completely grossed out feeling everytime I sit down in my seat. I start thinking about how they cant possibly have enough time to steam clean all the seats; therefore leaving it germy. I cant even put my head back in the seat, cause I start grossing out thinking about some greasy haired, non-bathed idiot just sat in that seat. I also cant stand the "talkers". I always take a book, in hopes that some babbling idiot wont start in about nothing. I am very outgoing, but I have the worst of luck in planes, when it comes to the person sitting next to me. Just once, I wish some 'good-looking', 'half-way intelligent' , recently bathed person would sit by me.

On the upside, I'm a fairly small framed person. So I dont require alot of space. I hope they are serving alcohal, cause I will definately need it. Hopefully, I will be reporting back to you all by Thursday morning. Have a good week and wish me luck!

My addictions

Addiction is a funny thing. When someone mentions the word, you would automatically think drugs. Well, I don't do drugs...but I have many addictions. And when I looked up the definition, it seems that I have even more addictions than I thought.


addiction

1a. Compulsive physiological and psychological need for a habit-forming substance: a drug used in the treatment of heroin addiction. b. An instance of this: a person with multiple chemical addictions.2a. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something. b. An instance of this: had an addiction for fast cars.

Here are some of my addictions in no particular order:

• chapstick
• lotion
• hand washing
• flossing
• coffee
• running (my boss says I have a disease, to him running=disease)
• message boards
• the need to wear black (I'm not goth or anthing, black just goes with everything)
• CSI-best tv program on earth
• LOST-awesome mystery tv program
• HOUSE-awesome satirical medical show(the lead actor is a super ass-I'm secretly in love with him)
• chocolate
• 80's music
• reading

Well, there are prolly alot more...BUT I dont want to sound like a freak or anything. What are some of your addictions? Or are you one of those perfect bitches/assholes that doesnt have any? lol

I may be crazy, but I did it!!

I ran my long run on Saturday. It was 15 degrees and the wind was blowing about 45-50 mph. I had a ski mask on. I thought it was weird that noone was waving back at me. I figured it was the ski mask, or the fact that they thought I was crazy for being out in that kind of weather. Anywho...I did the whole 10 miles and didnt die. YAYYY!!

I went bowling on Sunday with the youth group at church. I used to be in a league about 4 yrs. ago. I used to leave my ball at the bowling alley. Well, after I quit league I left my ball there and forgot about it. I went in Sunday and asked the owner if my ball was still there. He said "Hell, I dunno, go back and look" I couldnt believe it..There was my bowling bag. My new ball and shoes were in it and everthing!! The bag had about an inch of dust on it, but it was there!!! I bowled two hideous games and laughed the whole time. I missed it more than I thought. Good times.....

Long run ideas...anybody??

I run my long runs on Saturday morning. It can take me several hours or more, depending on the distance. This gives me alot of time to think....too much time. I dont like to carry any music since I run on the streets. I need ideas of things to think about while I'm out there. I usually get caught up in my time and then do these elaborate math problems in my head figuring exactly when I should reach a certain point at a specific pace. This can be rather draining. So come on people!! Get inventive here...something that will involve thought, but not put me in a bad mood.

I have been told to pray for a specific person at each mile. Thats a great idea, except I dont know 15 people that I would want to pray for. You can call me cynical if you want, but at least I speak the truth. So all your ideas would be appreciated.

I just ate 6 breadsticks!

I like to eat Frazolis on occasion, but thier drive-thru is deplorable. One time they didnt give me any silverware. WHO THE HELL, eats spaghetti with no silverware?!?! This other time they didnt give me any breadsticks. Today I went to lunch and ordered a small fettucine alfredo and 2 breadsticks. They gave me 6!! Imagine my surprise. I also got silverware AND A NAPKIN. I couldnt even eat for a couple minutes, as I was in a state of shock.

Anyhow, I got to looking through my email and was leisurely eating a breadstick. Before I even knew it, I had eaten ALL 6 of them!!! Do you think I subconsiously ate them really fast in fear of never getting them again?? I dunno, but I sure feel sick and my breath is REALLY garlicy.

*Heat wave*

It seems that today will be a heat wave here in NW Missouri. It is supposed to be a whole 40 degrees! *gasp* I have about 4 inches of ice on my sidewalk that needs melted. I know my miniature weiner dog will be happy. He has been going out to potty, and on his way back his steps get slower and slower. Its like he is freezing up, bit by bit. Pretty soon he falls over on his side and I have to walk out and pick him up. Its pretty pathetic, but funny in a sadistic way. I guess I'm kinda mean, since I know he's not gonna make it back. But I always watch and wait with anticipation to see him fall over. Dont get me wrong....He's my baby and I love him to bits. Dont hate me.

! HOLY MOLY- Its freezing here!

The high today is 10 degrees. This week has been completely horrible all the way around. Basically this is a list of all the sucky shit that has been happening this week.

• Freezing rain, snow, sleet, and more freezing rain.
• Freezing temperatures.
• Bad driving conditions.
• Candy machine not stocked all week.
• Work has been a huge bitch this week. It got really 'hairy' Wed. and Thur.
• Coffee pot overflowed somehow, causing coffee and grounds all over our kitchen counter here at work.
• Came to work this morning (coldest day this week) to an office that was 58 degrees.
• I havent ran in 3 days.
• The CSI teams are still split and the new blonde lady wont die.

I cant fathom the weekend being any worse than the whole week. Hope you are having it better than I.

*I'm off to St. Louis

I'll talk to you turds next Monday. I have a business meeting in St. Louis tomorrow morning, so I'm leaving today. Its like a 5 hr. drive *gag* Everytime I go there I wonder why they built the arch? Yes..I know, its the Gateway to the West. BUT, why would they construct it that way?

Ever been in it?? I rode up in it about 22 yrs ago. It was really claustraphobic. You ride up in these egg shaped pods, and it clanks like its breaking down the whole way. When you get to the top it had windows that looked straight down. I remember it swaying and telling my aunt that I needed to go back down, or else I was gonna puke. I'll never go in it again. The Sears tower made me sick too....hmmm. I guess I'm afraid of heights. Oh well, cya later gaters.

~U Cant touch this

So, this morning I'm driving to work and "U Cant Touch This" comes on the radio. Thinking that I'm well over this overplayed song, I dont turn it up...right away. Before I know it, I am jamming at a very loud sound level and my whole body is rockin. As I'm listening, I'm thinking "oh my favorite part is coming up" MY FAVORITE PART?!?! What has come over me? I lapse into this 80's like coma and imagine that I'm on my way to school instead of work. I turn the song up even louder. I sing to my favorite part...

"Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner"
"Mooooove, slide your rump"
"Just for a minute lets all do the bump"
"Bump bump bump yeeeeeah"

After this part, I have a smile on my face that is so big its making my cheeks hurt. I have come to realize that some songs just never lose thier zest. After that, the Macarena came on and I turned the station as fast a bolt of lightning. SOme got it, some dont! Hammer time!

2005 ~ whoopity doo

Its the new year. A time for renewal and all that garbage. I dont even know where 2004 went, so I guess I'm not that excited. I dont make New Years resolutions, so its going to be a boring 2 weeks for me. (Isnt that about how long people stick with thier resolutions?)

I am sitting here listening to 99 Red Luftballoons {whatever the hell that means}. I figure one of my resolutions could be to find out what the hell that means. I could also go on a quest to :

-find out whatever happened to that blonde guy that played on ChIpS
-find out how Vanna White landed such a pud job
-solve the bun and hotdog issue, once and for all. (bun # should match hotdog #)
-find out who in the hell keeps sending me the 'jackrabbit vibrator' email

what else could I do to pass the time, since I dont have any resolutions for the New Year?
