blog if i know
Greetings gentle readers!
I totally meant to blog, like, for the past week or so, but you would have no way of knowing that, so here I am, telling you.
*whew*
Glad we cleared that up.
One more thing I’d like to just get out of the way:
I have no blogging idea.
What up, blog?
Haters need to just blog off.
Who let the blogs out?
What crawled up your blog?
One day you’re blogstipated, the next you get blogorrhea.
K. I feel better now. If I don’t leech the dork occasionally, I get really backed up, and that’s no fun for anyone. Huzzah!
Right. So I’ve been a bit under the weather as well, but am on my way to being on the mend so all is well. I just need to be a turtle sometimes so I can ‘poor me’ myself into a better mood. Sounds crazy, but I *am* crazy, so I can get away with a lot of stuff. It’s a win/win.
Anyway, being that my insomnia is staying at about a constant rate, my brain is functioning at about 32% at my last calibration. Cut off another 10% or so due to illness, and you’re not left with much. Which can only mean two things:
1) Who will notice?
and 2) it must be time again for:
RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM A SLEEP-DEPRIVED BRAIN
(and just so you know, I did, in fact, have to scribble these things on the back of an envelope so I could even keep track of them until I had time to write this. Oh yes.)
………….
(I’m going to address these in reverse order from what I wrote on the envelope, though, since apparently my earlier ideas are now favored more. Again, this makes no difference to you and I’m not certain why I bother to bring it up. Guess that’s just how I roll.)
(and btw if you think I’m bad interrupting myself in my blogs, be thankful we’re not having a conversation. It can take me hours…even days.. to get to the point. It’s *that* important for me to set the right tone for the story.)
(thankfully, the ‘tone’ of this blog is my scatterbrainednessity, which I believe I have illustrated beautifully.)
(wow…I wonder what’s really in these ‘antibiotics’)
Ahem. Random thought 1: (or 3, if you’re paying attention)
I wish car insurance companies would make up their minds. Especially when the same one advertises special ‘good driver’ discounts, along with a promise that ‘your rates won’t go up just because of an accident’.
Well, gee. Can we re-examine the motivation here for not texting your honey with one hand whilst sneaking a few french fries in between changing the cd as your phone rings mid-text on the freeway, as I have witnessed so many others doing?? Hmm??
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t have a problem with this behavior at all, if everyone who did that kind of stuff all had to be on the road together at once…say, certain days of the week, thus ensuring more than a few wake-up calls amongst them.
In reality, though…..people just piss me off. And insurance companies that offer ‘accident forgiveness’ are just perpetrating the problem, imho. You’re driving. PAY AFARGINTENTION and all will be well. Or at least, a helluva lot safer than it would be with you reading a book balanced on your steering wheel as you swerve all over the highway in your Beemer (not making this up, either, sadly).
And yes, you may have noticed a common theme in my blogs about road safety or lack of. Let’s just say it’s a topic I’m even more passionate about as a mommy.
Ahem.
Random Thought 2: (which is also 2 since it’s in the middle)
I get a huge kick out of things like ‘sales’ at health clubs.
I know, I know, it’s a sale on memberships, etc etc….but the thing that would REALLY make it a worthwhile sale (guaranteed to bring in more business than they knew what to do with) would be a sort of, well….fitness sale…..you know like
“Work out for one hour but get the benefits of three!”
“Lose two pounds for the sweat of one!”
Now that would be a fitness sale to end all fitness sales!
And finally, (or firstly)….Random Thought 3:
More than once now I have seen advertisements (even online) for news shows….in hi-def.
Explain to me, please, what the selling point is, here?
“Join us at 11…where the blood is bloodier, the despair is palpable, and the crime sketches are crisper!”
What
Flippin
Ever
As far as I’m concerned, that is one more reason *not* to watch the news.
“Coming up at 6 o’clock….see hi-def slides of the e coli bacteria that’s killed 14 and sickened 30! Could you be next?”
Good grief.
“What you just ate could kill you in 15 minutes. The story…..in 30. Watch Channel 5 in hi-def!”
I’ll pass, thanks.
As you can tell so clearly, I don’t get enough sleep as it is
And now for your input….what really grinds your gears?
