speak up

The other day a commercial sparked a random thought in Boy Child's mind and then the conversation went something like this:

Boy Child: I wish I had a hearing aid so I could turn it all the way down
Me: (laughing) Why?
Boy Child: Because some people just annoy me!

Apparently he isn't aware of the selective hearing ability he already has!

no real direction

I'm a real fan of lists. I make them and will accomplish what is on them or... sometimes I won't even come close.
Other times I will make a list just to organize my thoughts, and because I need to slow down my racing mind at this very moment here's a list:

- I want to skip dating
- movie and dinner dates should be banned
- I wish more non-traditional dates were accepted
- feel free to send me non-traditional date ideas
- I think we would be better off apart- forever, even your friendship is becoming toxic
- less anxiety would be nice
- I want to go shopping again and not need a crutch (Boy Child, cell phone)
- I hate that I'm always looking for the nearest exit
- cookies! you've added 5 pounds to my thighs. Thanks. Not really.
- apparently junk food isn't bothering my stomach.
- motivation is missing in action. If you find it, send it home.
- I'm going on a date this weekend
- I really hate dating
- I think I need a separate blog post about dating

think the thoughts

Just a few thoughts:

Hilary Swank is looking fantabulously beautiful on the cover of this months marie claire.
Jon and Kate need to go away. Forever.
I'm seriously addicted to Accidentally on Purpose. Jenna Elfman has done it again!
It's refreshing to finally have a medical professional listen and take action.
I'm excited for the possible changes.
I can't please everyone.
My decisions are my own.
You're damned if you do; you're damned if you don't.
Auctioning Elvis' hair? It's true!
I need a night of deep sleep. I want to wake up feeling refreshed!
I am beyond ready to get rid of my car and welcome my new car home. That's right-- a new (to me) car!
I'm so cool that on a Friday night I'm on the couch snuggled up with Baxter, in my jammies and this is all before 7pm.
Reese's miniature peanut butter cups are really salty. I'm not such a fan anymore but I can't stop shoving them down my gullet!
Fall means pumpkin!
Pumpkin coffee, cappachino, ice cream, cream cheese rolls, muffins! Oh my!!
Before fall is over... I'm close to turning into a pumpkin!
I mention I'm getting a new car?

Last night I was chatting online with my greatest friend in the whole world, Amanda about, well we put a whole new spin on random.

Amanda: that is wrong
Amanda: PETA would have thrown paint on that!!!!
Me: PETA would have thrown paint at the whole thing
animals in cages-- blah blah
it was horrible
Amanda: yeah....I am not loving the whole fair farm thing
Me: yea-- I'm just not into it that much anymore
Boy Child loves the goats so much that I just want to open the gate and yell... run!!
Amanda: LMAO
Me: I'm serious! they're so flippin' cute

Amanda: really.....yeah there are more than that.....I think
Me: that's disturbing!

Amanda: You have me dying over here......yes I will......farmese is easy to understand

Me: umm Amanda

Amanda: lol

Me: and kinda gross
Amanda: it was the first thing that came to mind

Even though she has moved away, we still have crazy random conversations whether they are via IM, facebook, or twitter but it's just not the same.

I miss my friend.
