How silly.
Last night as I was walking to my porch the nice neighbor next door was coming out of her house and asked me “Are you by chance, one of Buffalo’s top 5 bloggers?”
I laughed. How random!
She continued to say that she was browsing Artvoice and saw my name which looked familiar and thought she knew me. And she did.
How odd. 
But fun…
Side note? I took a quiz on Facebook and found out my last name is the #1 most common last name in AMERICA and my first name is #6. Jane Doe indeed.
So I’m walking down the street and I see these two youngish men outside a bar having a smoke. I’d say 25? And the one is talking to the other saying “you don’t understand everyone has something good going on in their life but me…so and so had a girlfriend, so and so two has a girlfriend, so and so three is engaged and you have someone and I have no one.”
Ummm. Definition of “something good going on in life” equals relationship? Really? Can you not be happy without one in this world?
Interesting food for thought.
I have a one-legged gnome that lives in my house who apparently is stealing only ONE black piece of footwear at a time.
No joke. I’m missing one boot. One buckle shoe. And now one clog too.
What the hell?
Or even better, look what I wrote long time ago. 27 (times 3) things about me!
1. My favourite number is 27, so I shall give 27 random things about me.
2. Yes, I prefer spelling favourite with a u, thank you very much.
3. One of these days I’m gonna write a book…and be published.
4. Today is not one of those days.
5. I use and abuse … and
6. I love a good sale.
7. In an alternate life, in a parallel universe…I live and work and play and love in Washington D.C.
8. I’m not a phone person. Really, I talk WAY too much and can never get off the phone, email me.
9. I don’t know what I would do without my blog as an outlet. Seriously.
10. If Sausage Egg McMuffin sandwiches didn’t exist I would EASILY be 27 pounds lighter.
11. I’m completely, totally and unabashedly in love with my almost 4 year old niece and am constantly in awe and wonder over my brother and sister-in-law’s parenting skills.
12. I tend to have many, many crushes. I can’t help it. I love a great brain…
13. I’m a very good girl.
14. But not *all* the time.
15. I’m not a fan of cotton balls MY GOD do I hate the thought of reaching in an ibuprofen bottle to remove the piece of cotton. Who am I kidding, I don’t. I hate it.
16. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen my favourite musician of all time, Ron Hawkins.
17. But I can vividly remember being as giddy as a schoolgirl meeting him the first time…
18. I delete. Frequently. Don’t want to keep things out there too long. I can’t count how many secret blogs I’ve started and deleted…
19. I love eggs. From my head down to my legs.
20. Not a fan of hot weather and humidity, love love love love SNOW and yet not a skier or ice skater.
21. Some might say I’m an extrovert
Um, the Myers-Briggs test I took last year actually scored me at the very top of the extroverted curve. Imagine that.
22. Boy do I enjoy time on my own too though…I might get my energy from others but I soak in the quiet moments as well.
23. Give me a bookstore and a cup of coffee (or two) and I am utterly content for…hours.
24. The word cancer terrifies me and rightfully so…
25. When I was in college and interning in a Development Office for the YMCA I recall the Executive Director telling me he saw me as a fundraiser and running a non-profit someday. I was all “uh-uh, I’m going to law school…work as a childrens advocate.” Well, I did go to law school, I did work with at-risk children for 5 years and now, I can’t IMAGINE doing anything other than I’m doing now. I love where I’ve landed. Although I still think being President (of the United States) would be cool, I am now old enough.
26. Someecards might be the greatest website ever.
27. I have no idea which people to tag for this little note…hmmmm.
Oh dear GOD I HATE GOING TO WEGMANS ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Dumb Jennifer. But now I’m home and gonna make pizza dough and pizza for dinner. Pauldub is right, buying groceries makes people happy.
Has anyone else ever thought that the email address Yahoo gives as an example on their email login page (e.g.free2rhyme@yahoo.com.) is a stupid, stupid email address? Cause I do every single time I log into my email.
This morning while listening to Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me I heard about the greatest contraption ever the “Wake & Bake BACON ALARM CLOCK.” Mark says without a second thought, “oh yeah I’ve heard of that.” To which I *loudly* replied “YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BACON ALARM CLOCK AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME!” I think that could be considered grounds for divorce…in my world.
My house smells of an unfortunate mixture of post drinking beer/wine farts, breakfast and stuffy humidity. I’ll be cleaning all the floors and scrubbing out those litter boxes, right after I finish blogging.
I’m listening to my *RAIN* mix CD. While looking for the CD I found a bunch of Great Big Sea mixes I’m going to play next. And then, I realized I sang myself to drunken sleep last night at 1 am singing Lukey and Run Runaway. No wonder Mark’s drunk ass fell asleep on the futon watching the History Channel, I’m not sure I would want to go to bed with a drunk me laughing through lyrics of Mari Mac while falling asleep either…
Damn, now I feel the need to make some banana pancakes. “Can’t you see that’s it’s just raining, there ain’t no need to go outside.”
All of these thoughts would have been better as Twits.
Carry on my wayward sons…
Do you know how much I don’t care at all about
Brett Favre playing for the Jets?
About Paris Hilton’s response to John McCain’s pathetic ad? (White hair dude?)
I could care less about Pineapple Express, which looks sooooooo stuuuupid to me.
And I’m not hyped up at all about the Olympics. (In fact on Facebook, I can say *Meh* to the Olympics.)
Debate Cheer Protest Meh
Do you know that for the first time in a long time I was weepy and wanted to have a baby? And then I chose to look up the cost of daycare and knocked myself back into reality.
This thunderstorm outside matches my mood.
I could blog for 3 days straight and still have 1000 things to say. Things I’ve missed this week?
I have CNN playing in background right now and I just heard a snippet about McCain feeling left out of all the media coverage. I know this was mentioned in local news, but um, John McCain was in BUFFALO on Monday and didn’t even allow for an interview. Of course grabbing a quick million from WNY isn’t newsworthy and politically speaking why would he spend time in New York anyhow, other than to grab money from Republicans to spend in states that matter. But c’mon, Barack Obama was on his world tour, no crap it’s a little more newsworthy. Why can’t everyone just let it be?
I said legwarmer. Mark said curtain. Buf of course, duh! It’s a….
The following post has me STILL laughing out loud, especially when clicking the link to the meatballs.
These little critters make me laugh. I want one. Or two. Every plant guy needs a friend, right?
Even better, everyone needs a little naked pink man running across their blog… (SERIOUSLY, IF YOU AREN’T A LINK CLICKER ON MY BLOG YOU NEED TO CLICK THIS ONE.)
Hello!!! I’ve been saving this one for a while. That ridiculous proud GPA smile makes the shirt even better.
This post? A little disturbing, I didn’t laugh until I got to the 6th comment…
Won’t You Wear a Sweater on March 20th?
In honor of what would have been Mister Rogers 80th birthday on March 20, Mr. McFeely aka David Newell, the public relations director for Family Communications, Inc. (the nonprofit company founded in 1971 by Fred Rogers) has a special request.
“We’re asking everyone everywhere, from Pittsburgh to Paris to wear their favorite sweater on that day,” he asks in his best speedy delivery voice. “It doesn’t have to have a zipper down the front like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it just has to be special to you.”
And now, you know what to wear tomorrow.
