The End

It's over! NaBloPoMo is over! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, it's been an adventure in discipline, but, I'm glad it's over. I don't have to post tomorrow! You don't know how good that feels. You may not hear from me for weeks!

I'm also excited because Leah and I have finally decided on a date to do our Spa day, and boy--do we have a package planned. Both of us had toyed with the idea of handing our extra gift certificates to this particular spa over to someone else, but in the end, we decided--nah. We'll get a deluxe day of treatment with minimum cost to us. It's going to be soooooooo nice. A whole day of pampering. Just what the doctor ordered.

So, here's to you: NaBloPoMoers! Lift your favorite drink and give yourself a toast! Drain it with gusto! We deserve it!

Because I can

I'm watching the Cowboys and the Packers on the NFL network because I can. I don't have Time Warner Cable and they don't carry NFL network. I have Grande and they do, so I don't have to worry about a satellite dish going out in bad weather, either.

Time Warner Cable sucks! Their customer service is crap! Their prices are outrageous and they don't have anything more special than any other cable network can offer. Okay..they have News 8 Austin. But I have the NFL Network and don't have to spend $5 on A Beer at a sports bar to see a really BIG game.

Unfortunately, the Packers aren't doing so well. I can't stand the Cowboys. My intense hatred of them stems from living in Dallas for nearly 10 years and seeing members of the team get away with stuff you and I would never be able to get away with. The Dallas police kept arresting them, but the judges kept dismissing them. They would interrupt regular programming on tv to report that Emmit Smith had twisted his ankle and spend 20 minutes on it. It was ridiculous! And Jerry Jones...don't even get me started on him. I went to one game when I lived there and I got to see them get badly beaten by the Eagles. It was nice, though I did enjoy my victory very quietly.

Oh well...there's my two cents. Hey! Two....one more day to go!

Three

I'm sure by now you all know how I feel about this.
And there you have it.

The Count

I feel like The Count from Sesame Street: "4! 4 more days of the NaBloPoMo! Ah-ha-ha-haaaaaa!"

Really...much more of this and I'll be Oscar the Grouch.

I admit. I'm a boring person! I have nothing to write about in my life! My life is not exciting! I get up, I go to work, I deal with people--sometimes very difficult people--I come home...nothing happens. I am no longer that girl that Mother warned you about. People always thought I was, but I really wasn't. I was always the more responsible one in our wild group.

Wonder what they're doing now? Certainly not trying to write a blog a day.

5 more days

I can't wait for this bloody month to be over!

I can't write a blog every day. Well, I can, but I don't like doing it. I don't like feeling like I have to do it. It doesn't flow if I feel like I have to do it. I really don't have to do it this month; it's not like someone's holding a gun to my head or anything like that, but I said I would do it. So I did. I am.

And after tonight, there'll be four more. And then....a nice long break:)

6 more days

6 more days for this in November. Then, you'll probably never hear from me again! Just kidding.

This weekend has been weird. Friday felt like Saturday, Saturday felt like Sunday, and Sunday I had no idea what day it was, but it was cold and rainy. Being that it was cold and rainy and I have only five dollars until payday, I didn't do much of anything. I have noticed my new neighbors, though.

MG, they're loud. They don't go up or down the stairs without yelling to each other in the parking lot. On the stairs, they sound like a herd of something heavy, but too quick to be elephants. And the boy, who is about 9 or 10, is constantly yelling his sister's name..."Anna!...Anna!" How can people be so loud? Why would they want to be? This isn't a mansion that they live in alone. Why do people seem to no longer have any respect for their neighbors?

I can't wait to move to the mountains. Too bad it's going to be a long time from now.

Family Trees

I've spent the last 3 hours on Ancestry.com building my family tree. Fascinating stuff. I've discovered that I am a descendant of the Medicis of Italy. That's a big WOWIE! The Medicis were the most powerful family in Italy for over a century. They had their hands in everything.

So...I'm going back to the website now to find out how many connections I have to the Medicis. So far, I have two.
