trying to be positive…

I am hearby declaring August 14, 2007 to be known as The Day of Sh*t. I’ve had a really bad day. No need to go into it because that doesn’t accomplish anything. Instead, allow me to make a list of current things that *could* apply to me right now but, thankfully, don’t.

And here they are:

I am not Lindsay Lohan.

I do not live Antarctica.

I am not one of Britney Spears’s children.

I never have to do a take-home exam again (at least in something really hard).

I will not get called a bitch at work anymore (unless I really eff something up or take the last Diet Coke without putting a new case in the refrigerator).

I am not Michael Vick.

I do not have psoriasis.

There is no reason why I would ever have to speak to Bill O’Reilly ever.

Any other suggestions? Please share…

new additions to the blogroll

Z is fo Zombie: My dear friend Maura’s leap into the wonderful world of the undead.

Literally, A Web Log: A crusade I can get behind. Literally.

Alicia: An addition that is way overdue. Her blog is one of my most favorites ever and she is wonderful.

Daniel: Another overdue addition. He’s married to Alicia and he, too, is wonderful. He is also tall.

Mosey on over there and check them out.

Things you should be thrilled about

Again, there is something seriously wrong with me.

  • I was the one that pointed out that the cartoon, talking igneous rock in today’s Science video looked like a piece of poop.
  • I was offered a piece of chocolate today and TURNED IT DOWN.
  • In the car on the way home from the gym I head Lionel Richie’s “Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady” and started bawling.
  • I am completely obsessed with the proper functioning of the folding door I just installed. Like to the point where I bet I won’t sleep tonight.
  • I have a very hard time *not* sharing with Ross what I learn during my kids’ family life classes, such as the difference between sperm and semen. That’s right. I just said sperm and semen.
