My Only Sunshine

1. I am so fascinated with the amount of fast food I see eaten at my work. I don't know exactly why, but it has something to do with the gobs of money I see spent on utter shit just from 8-5 on week days by ONE person. I was quite generous in my number crunching and I have figured out she spends a minimum of $165.00 a month. That's 41.25 a week. On just what I see her buy for herself from 8-5. And I low-balled bigtime. I spend that much in groceries (including shampoo, toothpaste, etc) for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I eat very healthy. I just... ugh. It's her body, but I'm the one that has to smell the Arby's.

2. Pinterest. I don't even know why I like it so much! I wish I didn't. No, I'm glad I do. No, wait... I wish I could like it a little less. Maybe.

3. Dear Target, get rid of the gourmet trail mix, because that shit gets me every time. And I read the calories finally. Yikers.

4. I don't understand how Jessica Simpson is still pregnant... it has been like a year and a half I swear. Maybe it's just water weight and fried chicken?

5. I have come to realize I have a Steven Tyler level scarf dependency. And I don't plan to seek help for it any time soon.

6. My Dad calls me an average of 3 times a week. He does it at night when he's UPSing it all over the Midwest and he thinks his bluetooth is magic. He tells me about his life, he asks me about mine. He's basically obsessed with me and thinks the sun rises and sets out of my ass. Yet... he still took the time to send me a card, in addition to my birthday card, with a dad twirling a little girl dancing that explained how "sometimes we forget to say the little things like how proud I am of you and how special you are". Complete with a great verse from 1 Corinthians at the bottom. Man, I love that guy.

7. I recently acquired a tub of Hope In A Jar. I think it's ok and was thrilled about the name until I went to look at the review online and now there's a product by the same company called When Hope Isn't Enough. Well... fuck. How will I know?

8. Winnie was here on Saturday night just giving me all her furry cuteness. When we had both fallen asleep on the couch watching Jersey Shore, I tried to put her in my bed without taking her out. She stared me right down and pissed on her sleepy blanket. Guess that showed me.

9. I wonder if there's a time when I will feel that I am "too old" for glittery nail polish. I hope not.

10. Today is my late Grandmother's birthday. I wonder, if she had lived long enough where my family was given the option to put her brain in a robot so she could live on forever as a cyborg if we would have taken the doctors up on that. Because I miss her so much, and wish I could have her advice on things, and think about her all the time and I bet she would be really proud that I finally learned to cook, iron and "wash myself properly". She was my sunshine.
