Friday Observations

some random thoughts that have entered my mind at one point or another on this grand day:

Personal space – keep out. If I can smell ya or feel ya, you are too close.

Attention men! Necklaces - never a good idea. Never. This applies to shell, gold, rope, beaded, string, hemp. If it goes around the neck it doesn't belong!

When speaking with a customer service rep, try to refrain from asking “are you a lady or a man”? The “lady” I spoke with earlier today did not seem to find it amusing when broached with this question.

If you can help it, never move. Packing might be the worst chore created by man. What could top that? Unpacking. If I could afford it, I'd dispose of all my personal belongings with every move and acquire new stuff. This morning at 1 am I hit my breaking point. In a state of delirium I employed this impractical practice of trashing anything I could get my hands on.

While flipping through many greeting cards earlier it became clear that I have a very sick sense of humor. Is it bad that I become agitated with the greeting cards containing a religious connotation?

I should not be allowed to have a vehicle with a sunroof. Hell, windows. If I had a dollar for every time I have driven around town in a mildew-scented vehicle while sitting on a towel barely able to see through the windshield due to condensation I would be living the high life, my friend. It is rather sad that every one of my co-workers has learned to give me a buzz whenever a cloud appears in the sky. I am serious.

Well guys I am off for a 7 day holiday to the lovely city of San Diego. Can't wait! July has been a crazy month and thus I have not had a lot of time for creativity or writing. I suspect this is what I can look foward to through August with my impending move across town. Oy!

In closing, I would like to wish MATTHEW a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Can't wait to spend it with you. Me and You, darling.

ANNOUNCEMENT:

I would personally like to take this time on behalf of myself and Kenneth J. McClellan to ask you, friends and family, to share in our immense joy during this special time. Kenneth and I will make our union one in October 2010 when I proudly accept the title as Mrs. J. McClellan. I am so happy.

To those of you unaware Mr. McClellan and I came to a unique understanding upon turning 30 that if he and I are respectively single by the time we turn 35 (incidentally we are the same age) we shall take a stroll down the aisle. In this case, we shall walk hand-in-hand down a sandy white beach sans shoes. It is the belief of my future husband that we should stop the game and make this happen now, but I am not one to break a vow.

In determining our wedding destination, my adorable husband-to-be coyly says "family would like us to do something closer to home but at the end of the day it comes down to us." You know what? He is right. You see, my sweetheart knows I do not want a big wedding, just a private and intimate ceremony on the beach. We're debating coasts at the moment but really that's just a technicality. We'll work out the details within the next year. My pumpkin said "I will marry you anywhere. What I want to know is where are we going to live". Sigh. I considered quitting my job to be with him anywhere in the United States as long as his lucrative career in art can support me, but ultimately decide I will write to supplement our income and support our family.

Cards and money are welcome.

Feeling a little creative today or perhaps maybe not at all. I do know that my A.D.D. is working overtime today. Nonetheless, I decided for my next blog to take the first sentence from every text message I have received (not sent) within the past week and create a story. Punctuation marks indicate the beginning/end of a text. I have not manipulated the sequence nor have I changed the lingo in any shape or form. Use your imaginations.

My whole crisper was full of wine! The ‘rents are visiting. I’m probably going to be late. He is precious and he cries at work. I know! We’ll play with a ghost. Watermelons are freakin’ huge! Black black? That would be ok. Good morning gorgeous. Carlos Mencia is going to be there in Oct. I’m missing you a lot a lot. I guess you are right about all we have is the weather. Shrimp? Driving home. Is that ok? Or we can just go together? Jacob got a steak. You hear about the brother that got shot by the cops in Boston? Hopefully it will be sunny. I don’t think I can afford it either. Mandi said she might sub. I just put your wetsuit in the car. Tell me about it. Wish I could have seen you today. It's magic and not to be taken lightly. Sweet. Just got home too. I’m an overachiever. Are you guys meeting anywhere before hand? It’s otay. That’s hilarious picturing you so confident. Give me a buzz if you figure out what you are going to do tonight. That’s good! Ya! Lunch? We will have to get bottle rockets. Darling I hope you are having a good day. Yo fool! I’m headed your way in a few min. I hope your planning to see me. Next weekend will have to be cheap. Meow. Yep girl definitely. That’s cool. Good morning darling. I agree commitment is the best thing in the world. Can you think of anything else? It’s a theme. Do you think 24 pieces of assortment chicken is enough? Sounds like a fun weekend. Everyone agreed. Hey girl. Don’t work too hard. Headed to bed. Field 6. Maybe you better run that picture by me first. What’s the plan tonight? I just now got to read your wax story. Will you call our landlord this week? Exhausted. Hey gorgeous. I made it home safely. If you still want to go. We’re about to eat some pizza. Jon just came over. If you play SB I’ll play. Where do you want to meet? Sure. See ya’ll there in a little bit. Excuse me, getting. What time are ya’ll heading out? You not getting out I guess? Level headed. You awake yet? I think I will. Gonna be a little late. When are you guys looking to move? I’ll leave now. That’s cool doing my toes. Weird about my phone. Sooo glad its Friday. Good morning kitten. What time are you going to see E and I? Will 2:30 be too early for softball? Jess and I are hungry. Just call me silly. The one by Jess’ house. At Taco Bell. Hey cutie. What kind of adventurous tale? Funny! That sounds lovely. I also remembered to remind you. Not sure about details, but. Are they trying to say 60 days? Taken care of. Did we really hang out with a random pot head last night on my porch? Well she’s got a GREAT selection. You guys are a great couple. I never really got a straight answer to that question myself.

Wasn't that fun...or just a big waste of time? It's Friday, guyz and girlz and I'm lovin' it...

Cheers.

A Perfect Day

Sleeping in.
A morning run in the rain.
Breakfast with my family.
Walking through the grass barefoot.
A fierce game of wiffleball.
Hearing your child say “I love You”.
Getting a phone call from a friend – just because.
Catching a stare from the one you love.
Laughing so hard your stomach aches.
Running into a long lost friend.
Hearing a good song you had forgotten about.
Devouring a grilled, juicy steak.
Sunshine, a patio, and good friends.
Little kisses.
Laying in the grass gazing at the stars.
Falling asleep during a thunderstorm

snuggled up to someone special.
