Happy Birthday To Me

Yes, it is my birthday. I am 32 (a lady never reveals her age, but since when am I a lady?). I've gotten 4 birthday wishes on Facebook thus far. I'm going to try to go back to sleep soon. In the morning, after I get dressed, I'm going to try to take a new profile photo. I also need to take meds, clean the house, and do my nails. Ciao!

Waiting for Tomorrow

Listening to "Unsent" by Alanis Morissette, and having a weird and silly text conversation with Carrie. I cannot wait until tomorrow night! My dad got tickets for me and Carrie to go see a film about Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. I turn 32 tomorrow.....I guess getting another year older is better than the alternative. I have no idea how I'm going to get to sleep tonight, though. I'm hyper as hell. I'm going to take meds soon, and try to be in bed by midnight. I have to be awake by 11 am.....I can never sleep when I have to be up by a certain time. Oh, well, que sera, sera. I'm going to play my Facebook games, and mess with ancestry.com a bit, for now. Listening to Jewel now....

My Girl

This is my lovely wife, Carrie!

My So-Called Life

I had a pretty good Thanksgiving this year, although it became painfully obvious that my family is a dysfunctional mess, lol. We must have the strangest conversations in Thanksgiving history. But, Thanksgiving dinner also doubled as a third birthday party for my little cousin Grace, and she is absolutely darling. Still, I wanted to go home about 2 earlier than I was able to....oh, well. I had an amazing weekend with Carrie. She is going to help me redecorate my apartment, so as soon as that comes together, I'll try to post photos on here....I feel absolutely in love, and am very happy. However. today is back to reality. I have two doctors appointments this afternoon. The first one includes a fasting blood test. I can't sleep, and now I have to go without food for about 12 more hours. Thus, I am slightly grouchy. Also, my mother is acting as chauffeur for me this afternoon, which means that I have to deal with her being picky and critical. But, I don't have to see her, or do anything unpleasant, until Thursday. And Thursday will be fun- Mum is taking me out to lunch, in honor of my 32nd birthday. Say what I will about Mum, she is usually extra sweet on my birthday. So....I'm going to go curl up in bed with a book, and perhaps try to get some sleep. Ciao!

My Tarot Card

Cass Elliot Tribute

Hey Jealousy

 Hey Jealousy

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

[Chorus:]
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy

And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you don't expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

[Chorus x2]

Tell me do you think it'd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
And anyway I've got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

[Chorus x2]

Hey jealousy
She took my heart
Well there's only one thing I couldn't start

Randomly Awake

Good morning. I'm awake randomly, and there's not a lot to do around 1:30 in the morning. I texted Marty, and email Carrie.....mostly, I'm craving a Hothead quesadilla, and of course, they're closed. So I'm checking up on the news, and checking Facebook. No terribly interesting news.....moving on to Twitter. I'll probably go back to bed pretty soon. Carrie is coming over in the afternoon. On Wednesday, I have to go to CVS, and then Thursday is a big extended family dinner.....sometime, I have to figure out to what to wear to said dinner that will not upset my mother. Oy vey. Now I'm going to get my daily tarot card on Facebook, think of something clever to tweet, then drag myself to bed.......

Goodnight!

Just a message for everyone tonight!

Morning

Good morning to all. I woke up in pain from my endometriosis, so I took a magic pill, and now all is well. I'm slightly hungry, but I can't decide what to eat. Perhaps some potato chips....I guess I only blog when I'm bored, b/c all my blogs have the line "bored off my ass today...." My life isn't actually as dull as it seems. However, today is Sunday, and as we practically live in a theocracy, there isn't much going on today. I need to do dishes, and I'd like to finish the book I'm reading, as well. Right now, I'm eating the afore-mentioned chips, and going through my email. Have a good day!

Oh, shit, it's mid-month!

I haven't written in awhile, b/c I spent most of the past week in the psych ward. I feel much better now- they raised my lithium. While I was gone, my Hanna crab molted- I think we were both creaky and in need of renewal. Now, I'm in need of a good housecleaning- this place is a pigsty!

Today's Song du Jour

"Foolish Games"
by Jewel
You took your coat off and stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside looking in on you.
You're always the mysterious one with
Dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive
But too cool to care.
You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees, and...

[Chorus]
These foolish games are tearing me apart,
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart.
You're breaking my heart.
You're always brilliant in the morning,
( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/jewel-lyrics/foolish-games-lyrics.html )
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you.
You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
You'd teach me of honest things,
Things that were daring, things that were clean.
Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean.
I hid my soiled hands behind my back.
Somewhere along the line, I must've gone
Off track with you.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, excuse me, guess I've mistaken you for somebody else,
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.
[Chorus]
You took your coat off,
Stood in the rain,
You're always crazy like that.

I miss the life I once had, the feelings I once had.....I w2ish I could go back to the days before I was numb.

Confessions of a Bored Insomniac

Insomnia strikes again, and I'm blogging in the wee small hours. Not much to do, except mess around on the computer. I have a load of clothes in the washer, and so far, none of the usual laundry hassles....knock on wood. The people in my building become blithering idiots when the laundry room is concerned, it seems, so I try to do mine during odd hours. Yawn. Even my blog is boring. I haven't been doing much lately, since I haven't felt well. I'm back to volunteering at the Dems this afternoon, and I'm very much looking forward to GOTV this year. Go, Democrats!

Election Humor

In honor of the election on Tuesday, my favorite comic strip of all time......
