Sorry, but this just made my morning. (and there’s a tangent in this blog... FYI)

Sorry, but this just made my morning. (and there’s a tangent in this blog... FYI)

During allergy season, I get so tired of saying and hearing the phrase "bless you..." Is there not something else we can say?

This morning alone, I sneezed six times before I even got to work. I can only imagine what the rest of my day has in store for me. (speaking of in-store, LTJ fans need to keep reading...)

So then I get to work early and I'm doing my morning routine: myspace, LOTD, shoebox, gmail, AIM, interpals. And when I get to shoeboxblog
on of the things I get to read is this:

Other Things Besides "Bless you" to Say When Someone Sneezes

"Biohazard!"
"Quarantine!"
"You'll die alone!"
"Thar she blows!"
"So's yer old man!"
"Blasphemy!"
"Get a room!"
"Incoming!"
"Your nose fell off."


My favorites are 'you'll die alone,' 'thar she blows!' and 'incoming!' For me, this is funnier than shit.

Other things I read on Shoebox today:

Archaeologists are planning a DNA test for a 3500-year-old mummy. They expect to prove conclusively that it's John McCain's father.

Researchers have discovered a tribe in the Amazon that has had no contact with the outside world until... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Starbucks! They now have a Starbucks!

41 million fewer Americans will be flying this year. So, somewhere, someone's got an insanely large mountain of tiny bags of peanuts.

A man who was attacked and beaten with his own artificial leg is unharmed and grateful he wasn't wearing the leg that knows kung fu.

Four Brits are attempting to row across the Atlantic Ocean in a 29-foot boat. It's going fine so far, except for the threats to drown the one guy who won't stop humming "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

The iconic courthouse set from "Back to the Future" was destroyed in a fire at Universal Studios Sunday. We're guessing lightning strike.



Now, the tangent:

In two weeks and two days, some friends and I are going to see Less Than Jake -- what's new, right?

How about the fact that we're seeing them twice in one day? Are we retards, probably ... NOT.

Someone busier than you is running right now.

I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I am Doris.

Thank you Laura for the link. This was interesting. I could relate to more than one of the posed situations. Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz... You Are a Doris! You are a Doris -- "I must help others." Dorises are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs. How to Get Along with Me * Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific. * Share fun times with me. * Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours. * Let me know that I am important and special to you. * Be gentle if you decide to criticize me. In Intimate Relationships * Reassure me that I am interesting to you. * Reassure me often that you love me. * Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me. What I Like About Being a Doris * being able to relate easily to people and to make friends * knowing what people need and being able to make their lives...

Go Relax! (And I have a question for my readers.)

Okay ... maybe I've been under a bit of stress lately. I'll admit, I have a tendency to carry a packed schedule. And for the most part, I can do this quite well. But there are times -- and I think they come in waves -- that I need to gtfo and decompress. This is why you suddenly find out I went to the beach, or was MIA for an entire weekend. It happens. It's been happening for my entire adult life. Those who know me, either embrace it, or get over the fact that I'm not changing. But I have to confess, even for me, the schedule lately has been an overwhelming one. At the end of May I was looking at my calendar and realized from that day through the middle of July, there isn't a single vacant weekend. I wish I were kidding. As much as I love being busy and having parties, volunteering, getting together with friends for coffee, and all of that fun stuff, if I don't get to take a long, retardedly hot shower every few nights and turn my phone off from time to time, ...
