The things in my head go ’round and ’round

This is my life. You can’t have it.

Archive for the ‘whining’


Time for soup

The weather is cooling down. I am so sick of air conditioning that I could absolutely scream. Not that I hate ac, I am just tired of it.

It has been really humid around here lately, what with all of the hurricanes coming up from the gulf pushing tropical air up our heinies. And I am not a fan of humid air, either. Maybe I am whining just a tad here. So what. Anyway, after a nice long day trying not to kill the good people of central pa who are only wanting to buy food for their families, I walk through the nice humid air to The Red Beast, get in and crank the ac.

And that is what I am hating. That cold air hitting my skin, so that I have my arm hairs freezing, and then melting in a continual cycle. That sucks. So now today with the dewpoint at a reasonable level, life was good. Real good.

Life is even going to get better when the temp during the day gets down in the 60’s so that I can start brewing again.

Life is good.

Yet another Jonas Brothers update

Is it wrong for me to use the Jo Bros as a title knowing that it will rank higher in Google searches?

Knowing that some tweener in the middle of the night is going to be searching for some sniglet of information that she doesn’t already know about her one true love, and end up here? Is that wrong?

Somehow the parent in me wants to know what the heck that tweener is doing up in the middle of the night doing searches, instead of being in bed like they should be.

Moving on.

Only a scant few hours lie between me and 13 tweeners who will be coming to my house to help The Princess ransack and destroy said house. Yes, you read that correctly. 13 girls. All between the ages of 12, and 13. In my house. Overnight. And I have to work the next morning. Go to a meeting, actually, but it is a meeting that I can’t nod off in. Bummer.

The tweeners descend upon our house at 6pm Wednesday evening. We will do the obligatory present opening thing to get it out of the way first, and then we will be piling into vehicles to ferry said tweeners to The Sports Emporium.

Ominous background music inserted here.

At the Emporium of Sports we will be playing a raucous, and blood-thirsty game of laser tag. I get to play. Because I whined about it. After that, we come home. Eat cake, ice cream, and fire up the computers in the house so that dancing and merriment can commence.

I will be retreating to my back yard with a beer, ok lots of beer, a cigar, and The Roxinator. She doesn’t do well with large groups of people. She can’t focus on everything that is going on and it makes her fretful. Wimpy hound.

During all of this I just know that Google will be getting billions of hits off of my 2 computers for The Jonas Brothers. The Princess is going to their concert on Friday, while a couple of her friends saw them last week in Hershey. We were on vacation at the time, so she was unable to attend that particular show.

Much wailing, and gnashing of teeth inserted here.

So, you are now up to date on the goings on in my life. Other than the return to the soul sucking waste of time called my job that I had to return to yesterday.

But I don’t talk about work here.

Namaste.

Ragin’ with the ‘roids

And I am not talking about hemorrhoids either.

Still on the Prednisone train. Doing the 3-a-day now, down from the 4-a-day. Still have 9 days to go. Oh joy.

If I could get rid of this feeling that taking a cheese grater to my leg is what I really want to do, I think that everything would be fine. And that overwhelming feeling that I really do not need people to talk to me right now. Not a good thing to have when you are a manager of people.

Can’t they just do their jobs and NOT TALK TO ME!!!!!!!!

So, what is up with you?

Poison. As in Ivy

Brett Michaels, whose last name Sychak comes from Mechanicsburg, Pa. MLW’s first husband used to hang out with him when they were young. MLW’s first MIL used to chase Brett out of her house on a regular basis.

Small world, eh?

But the poison I want to talk about comes from a plant. Poison Ivy. I hate this crap. We seem to have an abundance of it in our yard, as every year I come down with a hefty dose.

This year I have it on my right arm, the back of my right leg, and on my upper lip. A lot better than the year that I managed to get it on my crotchular area. That wasn’t fun explaining to my woman Dr. how I managed to do that. When the best answer that I could come up with was I didn’t wash my hands BEFORE I went to the bathroom. Highly uncomfortable.

Anyway……it itches, I try not to itch it, and then find myself itching it without thinking about it. I should have stock in the companies that make hydrocortisone.

What’s on your mind today?

Namaste.

The Things in My Head - Monday

The Things in My Head today are:

Fresh mulch stinks worse than pig shit. Believe me. Ok. Maybe not worse, but the smell of fresh mulch really gets on my nerves.

I have had the last 3 days off, and I have been one dish washing machine. Who do the people who live in this house think that they are? And how can 3 people go through so many freaking dishes?

I have lawn mowing to do today, along with turning the compost. Sounds like wild, and crazy times doesn’t it?

The Things in My Head – Tuesday

The Things in My Head hate morning TV. I am really sick of Crossing Jordan about now.

Depression is not the laugh a minute state that I thought it was.

Though the manic parts of it are pretty interesting.

And I am really hating the fact that I woke up an hour earlier than I needed to because I forgot to change the alarm before I went to bed last night.

I am not happy.

Namaste.

I have mentioned

that colds this time of year suck ass, haven’t I?

I am pretty sure that I have. The post nasal drip. The coughing. The dripping of crap out of my nose.

I am not amused.

And it is still raining out. My front lawn looks like the field from the opening scenes from “Little House on the Prairie”. And my neighbor was out mowing the four lawns that he mows. Last night. First he does his. Then he does the one on the other side of his, and then the one next to that, and the 2 across the street.

No, wait. That is 5 lawns that he mows. Idiot. With too much time on his hands.

Namaste.

Spring time colds

Suck big time.

My nose is raw from wiping. My throat hurts, I am sneezing like a demon. And this isn’t allergies.

Crap.
