Tuesday's Ramblings

1. I've just recently figured out that my hair is .01 millimeters past my shoulders (after only six months of letting it grow out after the worst haircut of ALL TIME). This means that I spend approximately 83% of my day flipping my hair BEHIND my shoulder. Like a model on a shampoo commercial.

2. Husband generally has really good taste in food. There's only one exception. Bologna. He LOVES it. I bought some on Saturday because it was on sale. All he needs in the world to be happy is bologna, bread, and Kraft Singles.

3. I went to a birthday party for a dog on Sunday. Really.

4. I don't understand people who post pregnancy pictures on their blogs when you can't even tell they're pregnant. Then they make some silly statement like, "I'm 25 weeks. I feel like a whale." Let me tell you, when I'm 25 weeks pregnant, you are going to KNOW it. There' s just no where in my body for my baby tummy to go other than OUT.

5. I'm trying to decide which I can deal with better- rabid humidity or the stench from the paper plant when there's no humidity that's right up there with "scent of pig farm". Those of you who have lived near a paper plant know what I'm talking about.

6. The Doctor refuses to write paper prescriptions. Instead, we have to get the pharmacist on the phone and he talks to them directly. I swear that every pharmacist in the city hates our office because every time we call they say, "You know, we have automated lines for that now." Yes, I know. And if you could talk the doctor into using those instead of having me spend half of my day on hold waiting for the pharmacist that hates me, I would really appreciate it.

7. I really want to wear fake eyelashes. I'm the only person in my family to be born without long, luscious, natural eyelashes..

8. We have a next door neighbor who apparently can't stay in his house to talk on the phone. Instead, he stands right by my back door and whispers sweet nothings into the phone. DUDE! I can hear EVERYTHING you are saying.

9. My mom answered the phone the other day and thought the person calling had asked for me. She said, "No, she got married and moved away from home." The person on the phone asked incredulously, "BROTHER NEFF DID?"

10. Going right along with that, my cell phone rang at the office - my ring tone is Darth Vader breathing. When The Doctor heard it, he jumped out of his chair and said, "WHAT IS THAT?" It's just my phone, Doctor. He relaxed and said, "Oh. I thought someone was having a problem with their trach."

As all of us who have lived in the thriving metropolis of Kushiro know all too well, a paper factory is the worst smell in the world. The smell isn't just putrid beyond words, it has the added benefit of making you sick, dizzy, and giving you headaches.

That's why we call Lewiston, Idaho "Lewistink". Ha ha ha. We're pretty funny, huh. Oh, why don't you do a rambling about the fact that RIGHT NOW and as early as two weeks ago, there's a radio station already playing 24 hours of Christmas music. I'm currently listening to either George Michael or Wham sing "Last Christmas." Really puts you in the holiday mood, doesn't it?

Last Christmas is every Japanese person's favorite American song. Seriously. Every time I went to karaoke I had to sing it - along with the Titanic theme song.

I don't really care about people playing Christmas music early (even though I am VERY upset there is no Halloween or Thanksgiving music to go along with it), but what I do have a problem with is the fact that in Beaumont, they are still cutting the grass on Christmas day. Kind of takes the magic out of it when there's a weed eater repeatedly passing by your door.

Oh, c'mon. You know that was the coolest party ever.
