Insanity or Why me

1. I seem to have a problem. I wake up every night somewhere between 2 and 4. Last night when I woke up I realized I was having a bad dream. My mouth was cotton and my heart was racing. I thought I was going over the edge, into the abyss. I took a pain pill, for no apparent reason other than they make me sleep. I woke up today feeling wonderful. I can see the attraction for abuse here.

2. I completed my gifting. As usual I'm pretty insecure about whether it will be well received. I got something in a cool shade of pink!

3. My laptop is being looked at for damage assessment.

4. Big Brother time of the year makes me manic.

5. Do kids ever grow up? Seriously! Are you all grown?

6. Lists make me melancholy. See below.

7. What's the meaning of life? Is it to squeeze every enjoyment out? Is it to experience pain? Is it just boredom? Procreation? Recreation? Separation? Castration? Emulation? *now I'm just being silly*

8. Is it true that if you want to emigrate to Canada you need $10,000 in cash? Or is it $100,000? Someone at work told me that. I have a total of: One dollar two ninety-nine. What happened to your poor and weary? Oh, that's us.

9. It sure has been hot. People are wanting fall. Not me. The boredom and darkness of winter are close enough. I'll take hot over cold.

10. I ran into a neighbor at the grocery last night. I haven't seen her for a couple of years. She talked to me for 15-20 minutes in front of the frozen pizza case. I just wanted to get home and put the pizza in the oven.

11. I've heard that winning the lottery can make you miserable. I want to be miserable as I travel around visiting all of you. Please make me miserable.

12. I'm thinking about learning Spanish. Is it to late for my brain to comprehend?

eta:

14. *giggle* There are just some things that need to be said. If said things are bothering you for over an hour, then it's best to get it out. right? will i be banned? have i said lately that i ****dispise**** him. Some find him bravely trying to get his point across, i find him ignorant and purposely inciting.

Trucker Woman

I will spare you most of the miserable trip last Friday. Suffice to say that I had airline delays and missed connections and arrived to find the truck hadn't even been rented. I wanted to get on the road almost as soon as I arrived so I wouldn't spend the entire weekend driving.

We finally left West Palm at 5:00 p.m. and spent the night somewhere in bumfuckGeorgia. Saturday we left bumfuckGeorgia and drove all the way to Ohio. Well, we didn't, I did. Yep I drove 100% of the time.

Unfortunately I made a comment about truck drivers and hemorrhoids which made my "childbirth" hemorrhoids protrude.

Damn, I think I could get a new profession. I became a pro truck driver.

Anyone want to see America and join my trucker team?

I'm back

I'm back from our vacation to Florida.

When dbf said he would like to drive through Atlanta on the way to Florida (for different scenery), I quickly said "Let's do it". I was thinking about two of my all time favorite peeps living in Atlanta. I sent a message to said peeps and asked if they were available for lunch on Friday. Yes, was the reply. I was sooooo excited. Then we started out Thursday and stayed in Tennessee. Friday on the way to Atlanta I started wondering why, why did I ask for lunch. What if they don't like me? Am I causing an inconvenience? What will I say?

Then I told my self, "everyone does it, even Nutzy now". But, Nutzy is smart and funny! Geezzee peezzee. There were phone calls back and forth.

We arrived at the designated lunch locale first- phew! Then they came. I was instantly in love. With all four of them. Although I was still nervous I've known since my first time on OT that I would absolutely love both of them. And the kids were sooo cute.

Yes, I met Syren and CSTL, Ryan and James. I have two wonderful pictures but my 'puter at home is broken and my computer at work doesn't have a USB port. I'll have my dbf email the pics here at work so I can post them.

Suffice to say, I'm so glad I came out of my box and asked for lunch. Love you two!!

The rest of the trip was good also. We swam, visited flee markets, drove to South Beach and a short distance out to the Keys. I finished Middlesex. I meet another of his sisters - this one I like alot. His sister and parents came to the hotel and spent two nights with us. Said sister and I sat at the Tiki bar, drank strawberry daiquiris and had a good time. A band played with some awesome singers. They sang mainly 50's and 60's. I especially liked the Dean Martin song. What I enjoyed the most was the crowd. It was an older crowd, 40 - 80. I loved that the people of the higher age were having a blast, singing and dancing. If I make 80 I want to sing and dance.

On the way back we stopped at my sister's in NC (it was 102) and the next day stopped at my brother's in WV. My oldest moved to WV and is living with my brother and trying to get a job at the Toyota plant in Buffalo. Keep your fingers crossed for him.

Guess what. I have to fly to Florida Friday a.m. to help my friend drive the moving truck back to Ohio. I just made that drive. The drive was fun but the drive in a damn truck will be hell. Why?
