I wonder how many spiders I'm going to end up swallowing tonight.
I've got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine... Oh my god, make it stop!!!
What was that noise? I can't get murdered tonight, I'm wearing my period underwear!
Too hot! Blanket off. Too cold! Blanket back on. Leg out. Ahhhh....just right.
Hello, husband. Thank you for repeatedly putting your elbow into my spine. I do not need to sleep tonight.
So, if a fire broke out in-between my room and my son's room, would I be able to break through the wall to get to him? These apartments were built pretty crappy. Yeah, I could take that wall.
If my husband gave a free pass to be with any of the men that I swoon over (and they had to go along with it) who would I choose? Do I choose by the mood I'm in? Do I choose based on who I think would be the least repulsed by me? Do I have to choose only one? How can I only choose one?!
Oh man, are they fighting downstairs again? What if they own a gun and it accidentally goes off and shoots one of us in our sleep?
This is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that doesn't end. Yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was...
Okay, if I fall asleep now, I could probably still get 5 hours and be okay tomorrow, right? Who am I kidding. I'm old. I'll be able to pack for a month-long trip to the Alps in the bags that are going to be under my eyes.
I should really be sleeping right now.

appreciate an admin
Today is the day that my cohort in admin duties and I take bets as to whether or not the people around the office will remember Administrative Professionals Day (the holiday formerly known as secretary's day) tomorrow.
Once upon a time, we were treated to lunch out, alcohol and gifts. As time went on we had lunch in, then a plant, then it was forgotten altogether and we were given "Oh crap!" gifts in the afternoon when a manager had time to go out and grab something quick from the local grocery store during her hour-and-a-half lunch break. Last year, the two of us took ourselves out to lunch because we had no mention of the day at all...until someone asked us why we went out, word got around to our managers and someone ended up ordering flowers that arrived 2 minutes before we left for the day. Look, it's not the gifts that matter, it's knowing that maybe for one day, for one moment, they'll say, "Hey...you're kind of helpful. You do good work. Thanks!"
If you're reading this and you know anyone who falls under the "Administrative Professional" title whether they're in your office, if you talk to them on the phone, or if they're a friend of yours, please take a moment tomorrow and thank them for what they do. They probably don't hear it nearly as often as they should.

drink up, tra la la!
Something I saw on the internet today that I had to share:
This is a group game requiring at least two players, the more the merrier!
Anyone who has watched Labyrinth is aware that David Bowie (playing the Goblin King) is wearing tights that leave nothing to the imagination and frequently juggles crystal balls during this film.
I think this is a great excuse to have a party, don't you?
David Bowie's Package
This is a group game requiring at least two players, the more the merrier!
Anyone who has watched Labyrinth is aware that David Bowie (playing the Goblin King) is wearing tights that leave nothing to the imagination and frequently juggles crystal balls during this film.
- Whenever you see a little too much of what Bowie's packing, shout "David Bowie's Package!" The last one to shout must drink.
- Whenever Bowie starts juggling the crystal balls, shout "He's playing with his balls again!" The last one to shout must drink.
- If you call "David Bowie's Package!" or "He's playing with his balls again!" incorrectly you must drink instead.
- Optional extra rule: whenever a character who is not played by Bowie starts a song, shout "Stop that infernal racket!" The last person to do so must drink. This only counts if the first person to sing is not Bowie.
- If you call "Stop that infernal racket!" and Bowie was the first one to start singing, you have displeased the Goblin King: drink until the song ends.

son of jor-el!
The husband and I were going through a list of summer movie releases and trying to figure out which ones we were going to shell out $30 to see at the theater. We really only go out to movies when we know that only a big screen will do them justice.
We both said Iron Man 3 immediately and he chimed in with the new Star Trek movie, which I couldn't care less about, but that's him. He also mentioned that he wanted to see the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. I was completely let down by Superman Returns and have been completely leery of this new take on Supe as well.
Until last night.
The new trailer came out and instead of little vignettes, it showed actual action and emotion and, well, I'm a little more hopeful now.
Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me. It's the era I was raised in. I had a secret crush on him for years when I was a kid. Henry Cavill?
Yeah, I think I can make a little room for him in my vision of the ideal Superman...as long as the rest of the movie doesn't disappoint.

why wait?
Why do we wait until it's too late to tell someone "Thank you" or compliment them on an admirable trait or apologize for one of those things you did when you were young and foolish but you now look back at and cringe? I've been to far too many memorial services recently where I heard (and sometimes thought), "If I had only told them..." Well, why didn't you?
Why not just do it now?
When you friend that person on facebook or see them at the county fair or even at your next class reunion, say those things that you've always wanted to say but haven't had the opportunity (or nerve) to. Tell them they always had a great smile. Let them know you had the biggest crush on them in high school. Thank them for making you smile during a point in your life when you felt really low.
There's nothing better than hearing something positive from someone. Wouldn't you love to hear something like that? Many people wonder if anyone has ever really noticed them or if they've made a difference to anyone. Let them know. Spread the love.
Don't wait until you can't.

music therapy
Because I seem to be having a low day today, (feeling fat, old, stuck, melancholy, ancient, achy, unaccomplished, uninteresting, lethargic, and did I mention old?), I decided to try to enlighten and enrich my day with this Massive Attack song. I'm not sure that it worked, but it still has a good message so I thought I'd share it with you.
