I’m sitting here with a Pirates of the Caribbean Mickey Mouse on my lap.

I’m starving, and I want spaghetti, but it’s too late and I’m too lazy to make it.

I’m also randomly craving a Philly Cheesesteak. Or since I get it sans peppers, onions, and mushrooms, I guess just a steak and cheese. *shrug*

My mind is racing too much about things that I really have no control over, or things that are way in the past and probably shouldn’t affect me as much as they are now, but they are. I hope I get over this soon. Sigh.

Work again tomorrow. Blah. At least I have several new CDs to upload.

I think I might be ready to start writing again.

I need a second job.

Yesterday, while in line for the Millennium Force, one of the boys in front of me asked his friend if he’d go back to the beginning of the line for $100. It was nearly our turns after 90 minutes of waiting. I chimed in and said “OH YEAH!” In a heartbeat, I would! I think the guy instantly fell in love with me. Heehee.

Ciana (starrlyte) says “eleventy&TM,” and I think it’s the funniest thing ever. She won’t tell me what it means, though.

The song Runaway by The Corrs is stuck in my head.

I have a poop-load of pictures to scan tomorrow, for my neighbor.

At Cedar Point, I was responsible for remembering where Craig parked the car. The row was 38B. How we remembered? Thirty-eight bitches on a bitch boat.

I’m really hot. Temperature hot, I mean.

Will Kirby is my hero. I love him.

I really, really want a tattoo soon.

And now, for a random survey stolen from hiddensarah:

Aidan’s Back!

Bad Quality Webcam Photo

Aidan’s back. As soon as he saw me, he jumped into my arms, and stuck a firefighter hat on me. He also farted on me no fewer than ten times. I guess boys will be boys.

He hugged Pandernoodle and said “I missed him SOOO much!” He liked all the new presents left for him in the house. Bedtime for him soon, and me too.

‘Til next time.

So Much for THE PLAN (Pictures)

Curly Sunday

Well, the plan for today was to isolate myself from the Internet World and spend time reading and doing a lot of thinking about some heavy stuff I’m going to have to deal with soon. Instead, I:

– Played on MySpace;
– Took pics of myself with my webcam and digital cam and uploaded them to Flickr;
– Changed my default icon here and on MySpace;
– Played with my Amazon wishlist.

In addition to all that, I did the following things today:
– Took a long shower in which I shaved AND washed my hair;
– Needlessly drove to Port Columbus Airport;
– Wished I was driving there to take a trip of my own;
– Read some of Wrath, but kept falling asleep (I’m having a hard time with it because Golden BLEW ME AWAY);
– Napped a lot (will need Tylenol PM to help get me to sleep tonight–I should go and take two of those now);
– Ate only chocolate chip cookie dough and ice cream (I haven’t had a real meal since Friday night);
– Talked to Aidan;
– Talked to my mom;
– Wished I was at Cedar Point;
– Listened to The Beatles a lot;
– Properly tagged all the rest of my MP3s in iTunes.

Anyway, wanna see some pics?

You know you want to!

A Glimpse Into My Life (Pictures)

thatgirlygirl listed what was in her bag. I’m going one step further and posting a picture!!!! 😀 Take that, girlygirl! 🙂 (Just kidding, you know I love you!)

Oh my, there’s a really bad joke up there. I wonder if anyone’ll get it? LOL.

What's In My Bag? - July 9, 2006

notebook with CRUSH notes · journal · cell phone · extra camera battery · keys · lots of pens! · camera · work ID · paperback book (going to start Planet Janet, thanks to adamselzer who told me about it) · bookmark (to go into said book once I start reading it) · brush and comb · eye drops · wallet/purse thingy · lip balm · face powder · medicine · planner · hair ties

And here is my computer space. I’d posted a pic of this in November, but it’s updated a little bit. See? 🙂

Workspace

♥

I think the desk would be more streamlined-looking if I had a black, flat panel monitor. However, that’s a $200 I don’t NEED to spend, especially just for aesthetic reasons. But man, wouldn’t it look sweet sitting here? 😀

/ family, life, ronni

On the way home from my mom’s today, I got caught in the most horrific thunderstorm ever.

Traffic was stopped. Everyone could only sit there with their hazards on and wait it out. Hail POUNDED the SUV. It was so loud I had to cover my ears. The lightening was terrific. Debris was flying all over the place. Visibility was minimal. The sky was pitch black.

It was simply incredible.

I had to marvel, because years ago, I would have had a hysterical fit. I would have had to pull over, scream, curl into a ball, something. Today, the most I did was grip the seat and cringe at the sound of the hail, and at the sight of the trees blowing like mad. Hoping and praying everyone on the road would make it home safely.

It was quite an experience.

I’m proud to say I didn’t have a panic attack. Actually, I can’t remember the last time I had a panic attack. Over anything. I think it’s been years. YAY.

I wanted to take pictures, but my camera was in my suitcase.

Hours before that, I’m ashamed to say I threw a temper tantrum. Well, not an actual *on the floor kicking and screaming* tantrum, but I sulked a lot. I just really HATE going to Heinen’s, and I especially hate it now because they don’t sell the damned chocolate Rice Krispies Split Stix.

I had fun, though, helping my mom pick out a new car. Well, it’s used, but still new. A 2002 Ford Taurus. Red. So much better than the 2002 Dodge Intrepid she was considering. I really don’t like that car. But she fell in love with the Taurus, is getting a great deal on it–but she wants to wait ’til my step-dad is with her to actually commit to it. She’ll hopefully be driving it home tomorrow or Tuesday.

And I had the most yummy dinner today. BBQ chicken and baked beans, and a slice of bread. Mmmmmm.

The agenda for tomorrow includes:

– Library;
– Meijer;
– Lunch with itskels;
– Kicking the boys out of the house to watch fireworks and stealing some ME time. >:)

You know what I realized? As lazy as I can be, I have a hard time relaxing. I always feel like I should be doing something. So, even though I could be stealing a nap, (say, the boys are out of the house or something) I always feel a twinge of guilt–because there is laundry to do. Website work to complete. Novels to revise and edit and work on. Library books to finish reading before tomorrow (yeah, about that…), friends and family to call. I often have to physically WORK to keep from grinding my teeth because I start to think and concentrate so much that I don’t even realize I’m doing it!

I neglected to mention I spent all day yesterday at Andy’s. He’s so cool. He cooked a lot of good food that make my tummy very happy. Spaghetti and grilled chicken. Mmmm. He grilled the chicken on a CHARCOAL grill, too. Oh wow, yum. Then he made chocolate chip cookies–mostly to keep me from eating all the raw cookie dough, I think. We watched movies all day. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (with that great Moaning Myrtle scene, plus anything involving Diggory), Pirates of the Caribbean, and …. oh shoot. Why can’t I remember the other movie we watched? Oh man. What the heck?

And seriously, bacon cooked in the oven is a piece of Heaven on Earth. Firstly, it SMELLS heavenly. Thirty minutes of … BACON. Mmm. And it tastes better than bacon cooked any other way. Although, Foremanized bacon isn’t bad either. But OVEN-COOKED BACON cannot be beat. Ever.

Had a weird dream. I was in Chicago, but a strange part of town with strange random girls. Shopping in strange, random stores. I wanted a box of earrings, but in silver. They only had gold. I remember waiting a long time to see if they could put in a special order for silver. But in the dream, I knew that I was broke, so I was trying to figure out how I was going to pay for the earrings. Turned out they couldn’t order them, so I was off the hook. I also remember getting Aidan from where a bunch of “guys” were hanging out (Chris included), and trying to get him in the stroller. Aidan was too big for the stroller and there weren’t wheels on it. I said the F word a lot.

What a weird dream.

Anyway, Aidan woke me up at 8:35 this morning, and I got a ten minute catnap early this afternoon. So I’m tired. G’night.

ETA: BATMAN BEGINS! That was the other movie!!! 😀
I also got my desktop computer back, all nicely rebuilt by Andy. Once my Windows XP disk comes (yay for OEM software!), I’ll install it and YAY, I’ll have a desktop up and running again WOOHOO!
