What happened?
Well I tried some things in 2008 that failed. I have never been one to fall off the horse and lay there, but at the same time - I felt like the horse kicked me off, ate all the grass, and then returned with other horses to trample me. I'm relying heavy on metaphor here - quite simply I needed a break. So I fell off the horse and laid there.
I twitter now for the EF part of OEF. But now, I'm starting to feel the pangs of missed chronicles and abbreviated writing.
I'm going to halt Weight Watchers storyline. Turns out the system works better when I let go and let flow. It is working, I'm proud of myself, but I'm afraid it's just boring to read about. I've been 25 days without a full-blown can or sip or even hint of Mt. Dew and that in itself was an insurmountable feat. If I don't have the beach appearance by July that I want, I'm just going to wear hose. But who cares anyway, seriously - it's so hot!
Wine festival was a blast. This was my 4th in my whole time living here. Going into the first one, I was not a huge fan of wine. But after 1 tasting and 1 as general admittance and 3rd as non-drinking designated driver, I think I've found my "wine" at the Horton and Wintergreen tables. It's nice to look at the people sipping, swallowing, swishing, and in some rare cases - spitting (meh) and not feel like I'M the outsider for actually getting a glass and enjoying it.
I am vaguely aware that my impending wisdom tooth removal is scaring me. I've had it done before while being awake, and I made it through that okay. But the general post crap feeling (that and last time I nearly passed out in Hooters waiting for my friends to-go Wing tray) and days of mush food is not helping me look forward to it at all. It may just be the annoyance that this tooth waited to drop until after I had my others removed and that this could possibly be over with. This will make 4 and barring some mutant dragon tooth, hopefully until I have dentures this will be the last major teeth issue until my 50's. Fingers crossed.
The Geek Squad at Best Buy is officially on my "people-who-are-delusional-about-their-lot-in-life" list. I went there with a broken component on my external hard-drive, also known as my orange friend that travels with me everywhere. They basically opened it up, poked around at it and wanted to charge for $270 for something that only cost $50 to begin with, and give me no guarantee that they could save my files (after having opened it and exposed it's inner parts). I was passed from useless help, to useless help, with sales people trying to sell me crap I didn't need. At the end, with some advice from a friend, I ordered what I needed from Amazon for $15 bucks and upon it's 2/3 week shipping arrival..I'm looking forward to attempting to fix it myself. I'm not sure what "training" they have, but I'm thinking - I have google and some good friends to help me out ..so hopefully my orange best friend will be back up and running in the next couple of weeks.
I seen a skit about a guy who was shunned by the lady that worked at a lotion kiosk, and he said..
"You can't shun me, it's the end of the line for you here..you are essentially in a cardboard box with a register..there's no higher or lower..IT'S A KIOSK."
