Random Tuesday Thoughts

You would think after years of typing that I would get better and faster... but no... seems I get slower and make more mistakes that I have to go back and correct. I never was good at typing... I blame it on my fingers (my wild heart has nothing to do with it... that's a Stevie Nicks reference in case you didn't get it)... they are dyslexic... I gave up years ago on typing the correct way because my fingers never would go where they were supposed to anyway... so I'm one of those that just lets them go to the keys at random... whichever finger wants to hit it hits it. I made an A in typing class in college... even though I was slow and made lots of mistakes.... I still made 100's on the written exams and all of the other stuff... so I got an A... strange huh?.... I should have barely passed that class.

Last week I was using some EC credits to advertise on other blogs... sometimes my ad gets declined... it usually doesn't bother me... I just think "whatever" and go on about my business. Have you ever had your ad declined? Here are a few of the reasons the decliners gave.... "Not appropriate".... Hmmm I didn't realize that my button or my blog had inappropriate things on them..... "Design clash"..... I also didn't realize that my design had to match the blog I'm advertising on..... "Not relevant".... ok... so now I'm irrelevant. This is the one that bothered me... why???.... because this was from a blog I have been following since I first joined EC... I've dropped on that blog... and I even had her button on my blog!.... oh well whatever.... I have lots of wonderful bloggy friends :) Have you ever declined an EC ad... I don't mean a paid one... just an ad from a regular EC user...

I just got out of a nice cool shower.... and I'm dripping in sweat already... it's 85 degrees in here! Our air is messed up (again) today.... we have soooo much trouble with our unit... it drives me insane. Adrian was supposed to be off today... but of course he had to go take care of some issues... off the clock of course... not that it matters he doesn't get paid by the hour anyway... but still... he's suposed to be off. He went to work yesterday at 3:00 am and got home last night at 10:30 pm.... at least he didn't have to go in for anything on Sunday. When he gets home he's supposed to fix the air.... when he gets home... so for now I have my own personal sauna.... I don't like saunas... they're too hot... this is the south... it's hot enough without saunas.

Oh wait! He just called... he's on his way home! I'll have air soon! And we'll find something fun to do! I can stop rambling now!

Random Tuesday Thoughts

Well at least I got the right day this time... right??!! Casey from Half As Good As You is guest hosting RTT this week since Keely from The Un Mom is on vacation.... and Casey says we're supposed to be naked for this.... do you really think she's telling us the truth???? Or do you think she just really wants to see if we'll do it??? Well since it's soooo hot down here in the south right now.... what's the harm right???

So far neither the bank nor Cricket want to refund my $34 INF fee for the double payment taken from my account last week that was Cricket's fault.... so I'm not a happy camper. Maybe if I had gone to the bank naked to make my request.... naaahhh... they would have just thrown clothes at me.

The last few weeks have been insane... not for any particular reason... I just can't seem to get the things done that I need to get done... but I already said that didn't I... did you know that some people clean their house completely naked????

Jodi... just out of curiosity I opened up IE and went to my blog... and sure enough not only was my EC missing.... so was my Followers list. It seemed to be fine on the other blogs I checked to see if theirs were working... so I wonder what's up with my blog and Internet Explorer. If anyone knows what the problem is please let me know. I use Firefox 99.9% of the time. Thanks for visiting me Jodi... even if ya can't drop.... my blog is naked too....

More blog stuff... I keep seeing people talk about page rank on their blogs... how do find your page rank??..... I haven't got a clue. And someone else was talking about what people are searching for that brings them to your blog... I don't know how to find that either.... it would be interesting to know though. And how do people get all of these products to review and giveaway?? That would be a lot of fun! Maybe if they think I'm naked they'll send me clothes to review... I prefer black...

Now here's a question for you.... If you .... go to your Mother's house... or your friend's house.... or your friend's Mother's house..... etc.... and you see a sign nicely taped to the top of her computer monitor that says
"Do Not Even Think About Using This Computer!"
Do you automatically assume that you are exempt from this and sit down and start surfing and typing anyway??? Just wondering... maybe if I change the sign to "Must Be Naked To Use This Computer... No Exceptions!" they will have second thoughts. But then again maybe not... and I really don't some people's naked butts in my chair... ya know!!

I was up until 4:30 am the last 3 nights watching the first season of True Blood... I had heard a lot about the show but since I don't get HBO I haven't been able to watch it. A friend let me borrow the first season the other night and it is awesome! So I watched all 12 episodes in 3 nights.... now I can't watch the second season which is on now :( .... what's a girl to do??? I don't want to wait a year to see what's going on... and needless to say... I'm need some sleep... oh... and there was a lot of nakedness on that show!!! No Kidding!!

Random Tuesday Thoughts

This seemed to fit because today's thoughts have been pretty random...

I woke up this morning and went to brush my teeth and it hurt... I have a couple of teeth that are sensitive sometimes... today they are in overdrive... they hurt all day... until I finally put a clove on the most painful one... now it feels better. I just hope this isn't the beginning of some dental issues... I have no insurance and going to the dentist is a luxury.

I would love to have a pedicure... my feet look awful and with my excess weight it's hard to comfortably reach my toes to make them pretty. Can you believe at my age I've never had a pedicure??? My fingernails could use some work too... I used to do my own nails all the time... but for some reason I quit and haven't done them in years. In short my body is falling apart. We won't even go into my hair... it has major issues.

Steffie is in bed and the house is quiet. Adrian is still at work. This is what I consider "my time" of the day.... I don't have to worry about doing anything for anybody... well unless Steffie happens to wake up.

Lil Austie will be here bright and early in the morning to spend the day. I'm not a morning person... so I hope I'm not grumpy. I also hope he doesn't put toys in the air vent this time. He's so darned cute! And it's a good thing too... I can't get too upset with his cute lil self.

Adrian is off work on Saturday... I really don't want to sit home all day again and do nothing. He's had several weekends off while he's been in management training but that will be ending... this may be his last Saturday off for awhile... and it seems like most those weekends off we've just sat home and done pretty much nothing.

Earlier I was thinking about my Grandpa and the playhouse he built me when I was about 5... when Granny sold that house I sooo wanted to get my playhouse but I couldn't afford to have someone move it for me... so now it's gone. She sold the house about 15 years ago... and my playhouse in the back yard with it. We drove by there a few years ago and my playhouse was gone.... if they only knew the memories of that lil house with the strawberry patch beside it... maybe they would have had second thoughts about tearing it down... or whatever they did with it. He worked so hard to build it for me because I was his baby girl... I remember dancing on the floor of it before he even built the walls... and I remember planting the strawberries... and picking them every summer after. Oh well... my Grandpa and my playhouse and my strawberry patch may be gone.... but I'll always have the memories.

Maybe someday Steffie can have a playhouse and a strawberry patch... or maybe that's just another random wish that will fade with time...

I really need to get all of my shows recorded off my DVR and put onto DVD... I'm running out of recording room and I have another big batch of Friday the 13th the tv series scheduled to record next week. I love that show... and SciFi shows episodes of it in big blocks just randomly so I've been recording them and then putting them on DVD... it's pretty rare to find reruns of it airing.

So that's enough randomness for one day... I'm sure tomorrow will be insane with the two kids running around getting into everything they can find... maybe they'll find some of the things that have turned up missing lately!
