This is me, just the way I am. There will probably be some ranting and ravings at some point. I probably give too much personal information for the average persons taste. Most people tell me I'm weird. I think that I'm normal and everyone else is weird! I guess you can be the judge of that. Although, even if you think I'm weird .... I don't care ... I think you're on crack!

Things that are new with me:

1) A couple of weekends ago at a work conference, we decided to go out for dinner afterwards. I discovered an Indian buffet. It looked kinda scarey from the outside, but we saw a lot of Indians going in and we decided to give it a try. Oh my goodness!!!!! The food was amazing!! We pretty much rolled out of there. Absolutely NO room for dessert..I was that full. I'm considering driving the 2 1/2 hrs just to go have dinner at that restaurant. My mouth is salivating just thinking about it. The only downside to the restaurant?? I discovered what 'ring of fire' means!! Ouch! (TMI .... sorry)

2) Just outside of the grocery store yesterday...my friend looks at me and tells me I have a white hair. I'm thinking...I'm 30...of course I have white hair! Then she points out that it's an EYEBROW HAIR!!! I HAD A WHITE EYEBROW HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUH????????? Isn't that not supposed to happen until your in your 70's or 80's? I refused to go in the store until I managed to pluck it out. I am still traumatized by that event.


3) I'm 3 weeks late for my period. No...I'm not pregnant. Yes...I'm MOST positive! Anyways...I've been a bit emotional. My sister is on some kind of hormone thing for her IVF, it's supposed to make her emotional...I like to think I'm having 'sympathy' hormones. My best friend/roommate says she hopes I get my period soon so I go back to my sweet, lovable self. Just so you know what I've been like....

A) Last Monday I did some more grocery shopping. Going up the stairs to the apartment (with my hands very full btw) I tripped up the stairs....**grumble, grumble, grumble** ... Then,when I managed to get to my floor...I couldn't get the door open with all the stuff in my hands... ** more grumbles** ... I had to set the things down to open the door...**more grumbles** ... then I opened the door, I leaned down to pick up the groceries and the door whacks me in the butt. (not a nice spank...a ...oh my crack hurts kind of whack!) .... **Extremely loud grumbles..ready to bite someones head off kind of grumbles**...I pick up the groceries...THE STINKIN BAG RIPS OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!** I'm too mad to think about picking everything up. So I kick the littered groceries down the hall. That's right...I kicked the bloody things! I'm struggling to get my keys out and my best friend hears me...so she comes and opens the door for me. (silly girl) She opens the door to me whipping groceries past her. I actually threw things into the apartment. Those kleenex boxes..They hit the far wall. Even the dogs were afraid to come near me.

B) I watched Dog the Bounty Hunter...I don't usually watch this. MMhmm. I cried. IT'S NOT A SAD SHOW!!!!!! What's with that??

C) I had to call a company last week, the person I had to talk to was in a bit of a mood. So I popped a message to my boss. I said...somebody pee'd in her cornflakes this morning. My boss messages me back....'maybe your vibe is rubbing off on her'. I wrote back to my boss to shut up. (I'm so glad my boss & I can joke around!)

D) At a 4 way stop today, it was my turn to go...since I GOT THERE FIRST!!! WAAAYYY before the other car. (who had another car infront of them when I arrived at the stop) Anyways this Moronic woman decided to run through the stop sign after the person in front of her. So I sped up like I was going to hit her and layed on the horn. I hope I gave her a near heart attack.

Does insurance cover PMS??

What Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavor Am I?

You Are The Godfather Ice Cream

Someone crosses you, and they'll end up with a scoop of this in their bed
I am the Godfather....be afraid, be very afraid!

How Quirky Are You?

Your Quirk Factor: 53%

You're a pretty quirky person, but you're just normal enough to hide it.
Congratulations - you've fooled other people into thinking you're just like them!
Hmm, what do you have to say about that Kim??

My Mythological Being...

You Are a Mermaid

You are a total daydreamer, and people tend to think you're flakier than you actually are.
While your head is often in the clouds, you'll always come back to earth to help someone in need.
Beyond being a caring person, you are also very intelligent and rational.
You understand the connections of the universe better than almost anyone else.






People think I'm a flake????? I'm weird...not flakey!!
