Habit Forming


I go home tonight **fingers crossed** I'm trying to catch a midnight flight so I can get home early so My Guy and I can drive down to Florida to see his family. Speaking of which Monster in Law is on T.V..... I'm not sure how I feel about his "Florida family" they are nice enough I suppose but they aren't very emotional and it's difficult to get a good read on them. They didn't exactly seem overjoyed when My Guy told them we were engaged. I think she's afraid of losing her little boy. Oh well. I'm excited about the wedding and if his mama isn't then I guess that's too bad. On a side note TNT just called the Wedding Planner "another dramatic movie". I guess that's up to personal opinion....

Ungulates

Only 3 days in and I already missed  one. I'm back now though and I guess I need to add a day to my 365. So far I have no readers to my blog. I wonder how long it will take for someone to stumble across my genius and subscribe to my blogtastic postings. Not much went on today worth mentioning. I had a lot of business meetings and as I drove around Seattle I saw some beautiful sights. I went past a gorgeous field with 4 horses running through it. They looked so wild and free! I also drove past an Alpaca farm that was giving away FREE Alpacas! Unfortunately though I could probably fit one in my back seat i don't think I could get away with taking one as my carry on. Delta would frown on that, I assume. You can't get away with anything on planes anymore. You have to pay for your movies, headphones, food and now 2nd bag?  If you can't have more than one bag you probably can't take a Peruvian ungulate (Ungulates (meaning roughly "being hoofed" or "hoofed animal") are several groups of mammals most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole bodyweight while moving.)  Learning is fun!

Blind Date

So today I had to fly from Atlanta to Seattle for business. I go to either Portland or Seattle once a month now for a week at a time. I miss the time away from home and it's pretty lonely in the hotels but It's also a way for me to continue to live the solitary life that I tend to crave. Not that I want to be in the singles scene at all. I love my fiance dearly, I just feel like an animal that's been tamed. I know that the food is good and the shelter and love is consistent but man I miss the wind in my mane when I used to run through the open land..... anyway, I digress. 

I had boarded the plane and as I waited to find out who my seat mate would be I found myself judging people as they came down the aisle. I know it isn't right, I wouldn't want to be judged but there I was rating the passersby. Too old, too young, probably a nose breather... I find myself getting nervous like I'm waiting for a blind date. What if they don't like me? What if they're better at in flight trivia than I am? *gasp* what if they don't even like in flight trivia?! Well my seat mate pulled a fast one on me by coming up from the back of the plane. I had no judge time because out of nowhere BAM there he was. He was not too young, not too old and he even forgave me when I berated him for not giving me proper time to give him the once over. He played In Flight Trivia and was not as good as me. Perfect. I even slept with him. For about an hour and a half, with my mouth open. Who am I to judge others?

Virgin Blogger

I've never blogged before, though it's not as though the opportunity hasn't been there, it has. I like 78% of slightly embarrassed and completely obsessed individuals have a MySpace account. I tell people it's because I want my old school chums to be able o find me. That's crap, I hated them then and am pretty sure I wouldn't feel any fuzzier to them now. I think the only reason I have the account is so I can see the comments I get from my pictures. They're not sexy or anything, just ordinary pictures but it always gets me excited when I log on and see the red "new photo comment" bar on the side of my screen. I have the option to blog from my account but the only person who subscribes to that blog is my mother and probably my boss. Not exactly blogging with freedom there.

My life isn't what most people would call exciting but I am under the delusion that I have a unique point of view on things. Not the sardonic caustic point of view that many people fake because it's so cool not to care. If the Care Bears taught us anything it's that caring IS cool.... right? So here I am breaking my blogger cherry in the hopes that my blog will be read and enjoyed by others. I believe that there are so many bloggers out there that creating a blog is like writing in a diary and leaving it in Central Park with a million other diaries. It may be picked up and read, it may just get lost in the heap. Only time will tell.

Wish me luck in this endeavor. I am 4 1/2 months away from getting married. I think this next year will hold a lot for me and though I am no Anne Frank I believe that documenting this year will be important. Maybe I can put it into a book for my future babyme's. Maybe my Mother will stand up at my wedding to say that she and my father have been having a threesome with my fiance and then I can sell my blog to Jerry. You never know what the future will hold.

My promise to you, future blog readers:
I will never lie to you. I may exaggerate but once you get to know me you'll be able to tell when I'm "being creative" with the facts. I will share all the good and all the bad, but only in Readers Digest form, no need to keep you up all night right? I am going to Peru for my Honeymoon so forgive me if I have to put pen to paper for those 2 weeks. So there it is. I am woman hear me blog.
