Random Friday Ruminations

Random thoughts:


• I love Michael Bublé’s new song “Hollywood”. It makes me want to dance around my office, which I often do. Sometimes you just have to give in to your urges.

• I have started walking up and down the stairs in my office building again to wake me up throughout the day and give me an energy boost. And possibly buns of steel. Or at least not so much buns of Jello.

• It is entirely possible that my most recent ex-boss and I are friends. Interesting. I had never really considered that possibility. I mean, she was my boss. I’m all about drawing lines and all that stuff and certain levels of protocol and all that crap. But after 2 lunches together in the past month and the likelihood that we’ll do it again, I have had to face the fact that she might actually consider me a friend. Hmmmm…I like that notion. She’s very cool. And she tells me how smart I am (that I am too smart for my current job). Can’t complain about that! LOL

• I am still praying daily about the 5 things I put on God’s list back in July. I’ve also gotten some other people interested in reading the book I got this from – Give God a Year, Change Your Life Forever. That’s so awesome! Even more awesome? I am seeing God’s hand at work in ALL 5 of my areas now! Woohoo! It might be small movement, but it’s there. I love it!! If I’ve seen such small changes so quickly, I can only imagine what will have come to pass when an entire year (end of July 2011) has passed.

• In spite of being able to clearly see God at work in areas of my life, I’m still struggling with having and keeping faith. That’s a big challenge for me. I can talk a good game, but I stop myself a lot and question whether I really believe what I’m saying. Do I really, truly, honestly believe God is going to work in those 5 areas of my life in the next year and turn things around? Or am I just paying lip service to the notion? Sometimes the answer to both of those questions is a resounding “YES!” How’s that for confusing?

• There is one area where God is working where I really hope I am finally making a breakthrough. Maybe it’s melodramatic to call it a “breakthrough”, so we’ll think of it as a positive change in behavior. Or something like that. I’m a believer that if you do not learn your lesson from an experience, you’ll keep on having that experience over and over again until you DO learn from it. You’ll make the same mistakes over and over again. And how much does that suck like a Hoover? Too much!! So while I am making a few of the same mistakes this time around, I’m actually not making as many. That’s pretty cool. And I’m not sure that all the mistakes were or are, in fact, mistakes. I’m certainly learning from whatever is going on. The situation is still eerily similar to things that have gone before, but the point is that I am changing how I react and how I view things. I really, truly hope this is me learning this particular lesson. I’d like to move on from this to something much more positive!!

• People are weird. ‘Nuff said

• I love Halloween, but I have no interest in finding a costume to wear. (Yes, I know it’s already November.)

• People are weird. Sometimes I am their Queen.

• Mean what you say and say what you mean. Otherwise you’re just blowing smoke. And you’re kinda annoying as well.

• I really appreciate it when people compliment my intelligence. You can change fat or ugly, but stupid lasts a lifetime.

• Men who look at women’s profile pictures on Facebook and randomly send them a friend request just because they think they are pretty are seriously creepy.

• I would not be a good stand-up comedian. I’d be a much better Dave Barry than Jerry Seinfeld. I’m much better in writing. I rock the written word. Sometimes…sort of…

• I think the first 4 seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210 were the best because of Brenda Walsh. It’s all about Brenda. And Donna Martin graduating…

• I should not be allowed to drink Diet Coke AND consume candy corn. Or Pop Rocks so I hear.

• I am so underappreciated by the men of the world. Of course, I have a very smallish list of the male gender that I truly appreciate so maybe we’re even. But those are actually 2 different kinds of appreciation and what was my point again?

• My car is named “DB” after, of course, the great David Bryan. He’s so dreamy. And the car is pretty groovy as well.

• I would if I could but I can’t so I won’t.

• Why do people rush straight from Halloween to Christmas? When did we start forgetting that Thanksgiving comes in the middle of all that?

• I think I’ll be napping all day on Thanksgiving. Those are my only, ONLY, plans. Aren’t you jealous?

• I don’t really want to put up any Christmas decorations this year. They are such a pain. Does that make me Scrooge?

• “The sweetest song is silence, that I’ve ever heard, funny how your feet in dreams, never touch the earth.”

• I like to quote song lyrics.

• “My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

• I also like to quote movies

• Oh, and by the way, damn I’m good.
