Sheridan Trails

I have to listen to music at work. I love listening to music at work. I need it for my existence. I work for a non-profit, so my office is in some donated space from a church. The church office is open until 12:30 everyday. I usually keep my music pretty mellow and quiet until after lunch. Then I crank it up. I have dubbed this action "ghetto blasting" Because you can basically hear whatever I am listening to in all parts of the church. But it's just me here, so I don't think I am offending anyone. I come into work today. Sit down, fire up my computer, and start checking emails. Then, with no prior warning, the hallelujah chorus starts playing. I am guessing the church choir is practicing, but they are seriously ghetto blasting the shit out of that song. They played it about 7 times. I become some sort of rage monster. I can't handle it. I want to start pounding on the walls for them to turn it down. I don't think it would of worked. My walls are cement, I wo...

This past week/end was the official start of the NFL's football season. If you haven't figured it out already, my brother plays in the NFL. So football season is pretty huge for my family. We are basically consumed by it. Don't ask me to do anything on a night when Joe is playing, unless I am able to watch the game. It's a pretty fun life. It has taken me YEARS to understand football, and actually enjoy the game. I don't think I have been this dedicated to anything else in my entire life. I am a football junky. You can write that on my headstone. So yesterday, I watched 2 games. The Lions vs. the Bears and the 49ers vs. the Seahawks. The Lions game was so emotionally draining. I like both teams, but being from Michigan, I was secretly rooting for the Lions. (sorry Jake and Brenda...mostly Jake. Please let me come over to your house to watch the games still.) Jake like the Bears. A lot. So after watching the insane Lions/Bears game, I was ready for a swift 49ers vict...

Another lovely story from my childhood. My body started it's 'womanly change' sooner than most. In third grade I had to start wearing a training bra. I was mortified by this. I think I was the only girl in my class that had to do this...so naturally I got one of two reactions. evil reactions from flat-chested little girls awkward bra snaps from little boys I hated my training bra. A ton. So picture day was coming up, and I really really wanted to wear my lime green sparkly crushed velvet shirt. There was only one bad thing about it...it had a pretty wide neckline. Didn't realize this was a problem until I made it to school. My jockey training bra was clearly visible in this shirt. Sticking out on all sides. I freaked out. So ideacided the only way to hide it was to raise my shoulders. Like you do when you shrug. I thought by raising my shoulders, it would cause my shirt to cover my bra. Well it did cover my bra, but it also made me look constipated too. So unfortunately...

I've been getting the True Blood series from netflix for a couple weeks now. I am basically addicted to it. I know it is about vampires and only preteen girls with braces and acne problems are supposed to be the only one that like them. But this show is so fricken addicting. Last night, I watched the last episode on the disc I had. It was already 9:30p.m. If anyone knows me, they know I generally have a bedtime of about 8p.m. during the week. I'm an old woman. But I didn't care, I wanted to send the disc back the next day, so I decided to watch it. I went to my bedroom to watch it, because...I have no idea. I just did. It started out all nice and true Bloody-kinda normal. Normal vampire/human issues. Then is started to get weird. One of the characters, Tara, has a crazy mom. This crazy mom was talking all this nonsense about demons and junk. So naturally I start thinking I have a demon in me. And get REALLY freaked out. Then Tara's mom goes to this voodoo lady to get ...

I am addicted to pioneer woman. I try reallly hard not to let this obsession be creepy. But I must follow my heart, and my heart is creepy. Every so often, there are photo assignments on her websites. If you win, you get gift cards and junk. I don't really care about the winnings. I have never entered because I don't take pictures for beauty. I take pictures to remember that I have been places. And also to make people jealous of my cool excursions. I'm sorry, I know that's rude. I entered my first p-dub photo assignment yesterday. The category was 'funny'. This is the picture I entered. I sexied it up on picnik.com. I prefer editing photos on the paint program, but I don't think my picture would have been accepted in that form. I hope I get picked. My username for that is Dr. Dreface...makes me laugh

I feel lazy all the time. I'm usually busy, but I still feel lazy. Then I started thinking about why that is the case. And I figured it out. All my friends are fricken type A over-achieving freaks. Here are a few examples. Friend #1: Cooks everything from scratch Sews just about everything Nannies for 2 families Gardens Raises chickens Friend #2: Taking guitar lessons Mountain bikes any chance he gets Helps out at Habitat Is (finally) reading all of the Harry Potter books Hikes...a bunch. Friend #3: Is in about 30 bands in a bunch of plays wakes up really early in the morning Friend #4: is doing her nuke-med internship interning as a pharmaceutical technician has a successful relationship OK, well some of those things I should be able to handle...but honestly, I have no motivation. Good thing my sister is quite similar to me.... Actually she isnt.......GOSH!!!!!
