Ornery

It's been a nothing kinda' day: nothing bad but nothing good either!

Why do I seem so predictable to people that they feel confident enough to make decisions for me without asking first? My answer just might have been different if I'd been given a choice!

Why do people drive like they are the only ones on the road? I almost got side-swiped by "the only person on the road."

It cracks me up how self-important some people are on their blogs. Life isn't that serious! Get a sense of humor and a life- it's a lot more interesting for the reader that way.

Also blog related: people who don't post on their own blogs shouldn't be allowed to read or comment on everyone else's. Hey, if I'm giving you entertainment, you can give me some, too! :)

I wish the X-10 ghost would stop turning lights on and off in the house.

How can you have so much energy for house chores/projects one day and no energy for it for three weeks or so after?

Daylight Savings Time sucks! There I said it! I know that some of you agree- you're just not as vocal as the Sun worshippers out there. I don't think I'll get used to the time change until sometime around Halloween. Our state legislature is actually considering killing Daylight Savings Time in Nevada. Probably won't happen, but we can dream (with one less hour, for now- he-he).

Why is every allergy season "the worst ever"?

Why is every Triduum "the best ever"?

Why are you compelled to mess up the sheets on the bed right after you've washed them? :)

Does everyone "grow-up" someday? I guess not if your name is Michael Jackson. (It's called Peter Pan Syndrome.)

Are Katie, Christine and Mark ever going to get here?! Is Andy ever going to create a blog? I'd read it. I want to know what you crusty Englishmen have to say about the world. (Lights out- the X-10 ghost strikes again!)

Why do parents throw huge first birthday parties? Wait until the kid can actually remember and maybe appreciate it.

Why do some people expect college to be a continuation of High School? Get over it- the "glory days" are over.

Am I always this cranky? No- just today. I'll be Mary Sunshine again tomorrow after complaining about how much earlier 7AM feels this week than it did last week.

Here's my addition to the B------ Book of Song Lyrics
(By the way, it DOESN'T mean a thing- I just like the song. But... Laura, give me your take on it one of these days.)

Hold On
by Sarah McLachlan
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing
My love
You know that you're my best friend
You know i'd do anything for you
My love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true

Am i in heaven here or am i...
At the crossroads i am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face

Oh god if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
Oh god the man i love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door

Am i in heaven here or am i in hell
At the crossroads i am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face...

Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
