blood:water mission

There are a lot of things in my life that I do because they sound like a great idea...I give it very little thought and then I'm committed. I haven't quite decided if this is a good or bad thing at this point. It is generally not life altering decisions, those take more thought but small things that at times turn into big things. The current one is a challenge from blood:water mission. They work to fight AIDS in Africa and also provide clean drinking water. So the challenge is to only drink water for 40 days, no coke, coffee, tea or alcohol - just water! Whatever money you save you then donate to their project to provide fresh drinking water in Uganda. Sounds like a great idea...Day 1: I have a headache and am extremely hydrated.

Cadbury Creme...Ahhhhhh!

I went downstairs to grab lunch, and wandered into the company store, and there it was, the Cadbury Creme Egg display...light shone all around it, such delight! I let out a little bit of a scream, ahhh, they're here! Eileen the store manager quipped that they were not discounted. Oh, but I do not care, don't you realize, these are creme eggs! I was like a little kid in a candy shop, the candy that I wait for every year was here, and I couldn't resist. I bought three, now I know that this should send me straight to the dentist but again, I don't care! If I knew how to type giddy sounds I would...woo hooo!!!!!

Mush...

My head hurts and I can't quite seem to form a logical sentence. The first signs of a migraine - woo hoo - and completely scatter brained.

So here are some of my scattered thoughts...

-Easy Cheese - yumm!
-I really wish I had some pretzels, and gummi bears...
-I wish this phone was easier to work, as in if I pick it up, it should answer and stop ringing...DUH!
-I just got an e-mail from Wayne Simien and I feel special...why because I do and this means that KU still loves me as much as I love them...oh wait I think they just love my money...wha wha

My head hurts...ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK - We're #1!

I want 'em, gotta have 'em!

I really want some Haribo Gummi Bears right now...GOLD series! The other kinds are just not as good. Would you still be my friend if I bought in bulk? They're just really hard to find!!!

Time Warp

I understand that the world operates in different time zones and that this is necessary but at times it is really annoying. Like right now, when I need someone on the west coast to fix a software glitch and they're not at work yet, and late at night when I want to call my friend Caroline for some girl time and she's already asleep. Or whenver I want to talk to Diana, Oz is so far off that I don't even know which way is up half the time. Basically I wish there was some way that whenever I am up everyone else was too. I fully realize this is not a possibility, but it'd be nice.

Procrastination CENTRAL

I have located procrastination central...it is in my room, in the silence sitting in my bed. The books that I intend to read tonight are scattered about, some of which need to be read before I can go to my first meeting tomorrow. But am I reading them, for some reason no. I think this is the behavior that drove my mother crazy all through my high school years...either sitting around, or completely wasting time until I am up against the wire.

I had myself convinced this behavior was gone, but alas it has returned. Hmm, maybe I should paint my nails, or read some e-mails, talk on the phone...oh my goodness WHERE DID THE LAST 2 HOURS GO?!?!?

Spring has NOT Sprung!!!

Every now and then I think it would be a good idea to have a TV in my room. This seems like a good idea when it's cold and rainy and I want to watch a movie and a really bad idea when I know that I would stay up far too late watching Law & Order re-runs I'd already seen 15 times. Yes I do that!

But today a TV would have been super helpful...in my morning rush I could have turned it on to either the news or the weather channel and I would have walked out the door with a coat on in mid-January. I know it sounds crazy but it was 45degrees outside yesterday and I was all excited that spring had sprung and nevermind the calendar. Well I stepped outside and spring had definately not sprung, in fact it was snowing...but oh well off I go, down the block to my car. At this point it seemed like a good idea to turn around, but I was late. So I drove to work, about half way there I realized how dumb this was, it's 30 degrees outside and snowing and I left my coat at home. Hmm, wow, smart one, Einstein! By the time I walked from my parking spot in Siberia to the office I was contimplating going and purchasing a coat at lunch...so basically the moral of the story is...I haven't found one yet, but I'm COLD!
