Today's Grab Bag of Thoughts

I enjoy gum. I like the fresh breath you can get. I like blowing bubbles, in the appropriate places which is not the office, the train, or any where that you can annoy someone. BUT I do not enjoy hearing someone else chew, snap or smack their gum. I don't know what it is in our DNA that gives us our pet peeves but chewing, slurping, lip smacking drives me bonkers. Sometimes I even sit there and try to talk myself into patience and tolerance for it but then I go crazy. I just have to thank God that earphones were invented and mobile music players. P.s. random thought for the day, yes totally unrelated to my post - add a few Christmas songs to your iPod play lists and listen to it on shuffle. It is like a special present of Christmas all year long when one of the come on randomly. I told you it was a random thought.

This is just sad, poor kitty.  I understand there were probably reason, but take the poor guy to a zoo or something. It is much better than death. Mountain lion found in Santa Monica fatally shot by police - San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.com

A cousin posted this on facebook today and I laughed, so I thought I would share.  Hope you enjoy!

Ever wonder all those times you were walking upstairs behind someone if you'd know if they farted on you? Or how many times someone probably has farted in your face and you didn't know? Oh come on...how many times have you done it. Do you really think you got away with it? I walk over a hundred stairs daily in my commute just think of my odds! Seriously I am doomed to have gas released on me. It is bad enough at times I have to smell B.O. and pot heads...NOW my crazy brain thinks of this. Ugh. Shameless plug don't forget to join as a follower :-) I like to feel needed.

Or just hand me back the money I spent on those 3 pairs of tennis shoes that promised me I'd never have to step foot in the gym again? Haha seriously? I love my shape ups but never once thought they'd be my saving grave from going to the gym. They are just shoes. Ya got to at least walk in them. Lol BUT, hey I won't say no to my part of a multi-million dollar settlement. Bring on the cash. Yes, I know I will probably never see a penny but a girl has to blog about something.

So yesterday one of our new office neighbors was sad and complaining about the fish on her desk dying and that she just could not get herself to clean him out or flush him. So this morning a group of us decided that we'd help her out but taking care of the funeral plans for Pete the dead Beta fish before she got into the office. I had a fishnet not the tights but an actual net from the last Beta fish our group had that died and used that to scoop up Pete. We all said goodbye and I said a little prayer for him before sending him to his final watery resting place. The whole day goes by before she even notices he is gone and then all heck breaks loose. Not only is she not thankful, she is pissed. Steaming fire out of her ears that someone was in her cube (open to all) while she was gone. Pissed that we touched her stuff, which we didn't. Wow, so much for trying to be nice to someone. Now I have to apologize for my actions just to stop a big inter-office feud. If I was doin

Today one of my loyal readers told me that he really needs me to update my blog more often.  He was tired of reading that I am "yellow" and he said that he sees me more as a "Peach".  LOL  I said I don't and probably will never own anything peach, come to think of it I don't even own anything yellow. So here are a few things that crossed my mind today. This morning when I got dressed in my room, I really thought my outfit matched.  Then after further consideration and better light at work I decided that I did not match at all. :-) I used to think that getting my nails done was a waste of money, but I really want to go get pedicure. I wish those belly belts that say they will tone your tummy actually worked, I'd wear it daily. If Nacho was a baby, I think he would never learn how to walk because I love him so much I'd carry him everywhere...but since he's a cat he'd scratch my eyes out if I tried. I miss fried foods. Sometimes I thin

Definitely Yellow Congratulations, Teresa, you are a YELLOW personality with the driving Core Motivation of FUN. This does not mean that you are constantly looking for a party (although you usually do know where to find one!). You are instinctively happy and gravitate to people and situations that provide carefree adventure and playful interactions. Even under the most serious of circumstances or daunting tasks, you and your YELLOW (buddies/girlfriends), will seek an element of personal fulfillment and spontaneous enjoyment in the experience. Spontaneous play and genuine "in the moment" FUN are not merely important to you - they are as essential to your very being as eating. As a YELLOW, you are inviting and embrace life as a party that you're hosting. You love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. You are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. YELLOWS need to be adored and praised, especially by their partners. While you a

Today I was trying to motivate my lazy self to go downstairs to the gym at 4:05pm. My brain was saying "Oh no Terri you don't have enough time.  You should just workout when you get home"    To which I answered: "Really, you honestly think I'll workout when I get home?"    My brain just laughed at me. In the end my body won the argument, well sort of.  I grabbed my gym bag and went all the way downstairs to the gym. Thinking: GREAT JOB SELF!   WAY TO GO!!! Best part I don't actually have any gym clothes in my bag, I took them home to wash.  AWESOME, THANKS SELF! Back upstairs to sit on my butt and not workout. It must have been fate!  :-)
