Motif Maybe

Wow! Ok, so I did not intentually go this long without posting again. This was not a lesson in patience or an understanding of myself. It boils down to being lazy, neglectful, and out of the state. Sorry!

1. I have decided to try out a motif for my blog. I think having a goal of saying 3 things to whomever ends up reading this will ultimately make it easier to come up with ideas for a new entry, compose the blog, and for you to read. I do not want this to become a chore for either of us. :-)


2. My mattress idea. Mattresses are really supportive of one position: back. If you are a tummy tumbler, then your feet and the fact that you have a face gets in your way--unless you are faceless. If you are, please comment below as to how you are reading this. If you sleep on your side (as I do), you are wishing to amputate an arm so that you can lie comfortably--or maybe pop them on and off like a doll. My idea is to have a piece of the mattress that you can move...well 4 pieces.  A foot from the top and the bottom of the mattress would be the removable sections; 2 at each end. That way you can drop your arm down so you are no longer laying on it, place that face out of the way...and if you're tall enough, drop those toesies. (I believe that to be the proper spelling.) The only thing is you would have to make special sheets for these mattresses--but that's not my problem. ;-)


3. I HATE AOL EMAIL. I suppose I should give it props first for sending and receiving emails. The plus side ends there. Ever since my Dell Inspiron went kaput (keys popped off, parts of the screen broke and now it refuses to close, and the battery is worthless) I have been using a netbook for my computer needs. The main page that you work from is so saturated with unneeded schtuff that the space you are given to read the email is approximately an inch long. To remedy that I got Thunderbird--yes I'm a Firefox-y lady--no big deal. The biggest problem I have with AOL mail is that it notifies me of non-existent messages. I will have a new email and Thunderbird or my phone (or both) will notify me of that. I will then, naturally, check the email and save it or delete it accordingly. Within 10 minutes I will receive another notification that I've received a new email and there will be nothing new there! It drives me absolutely insane. Sometimes I will receive 2 or 3 more notifications for non-existent email. It's nearly to the point of me deleting my account or alerting everyone/business to use a different email.

Ok word count is nearing 500, so I'll shut up for now and release you to other distractions or to your planned day--kudos for those who are not procrastinating!

3 Things

I have at least that many things to tell you although it may turn into more. They make you put your title first and then you write the comment, but for someone who hasn't figured out her life yet expecting her to know what she is going to say is a little much. So...I might as well get started.

1. I didn't post immediately the day of my first post or the day after because I didn't want to apply that kind of consistency pressure to myself. Which I guess goes to show a good understanding of myself. Much like Wii Fit, this site would become a constant guilt trip and I don't need the same kind of judgment that I get from a bendy white CG board. The reason I didn't post any time from the next day until now is because I was visiting someone and ended up being snowed in with no laptop.

2. I am working on a list of words that I can make from my name and so far have come up with 49. My favorites are: fleck, dare, bard, rare, and breaker. Now for the 50th word...*is thinking*...dealer.

3. I hate it when women with really fair features wear dark eye makeup. For instance the woman who plays Tess on "27 Dresses." I feel like I'm trying to figure out what her real eyes look like and as I lean in to figure it out her face is going to change into a soul-sucking monster and I don't realize what's happened until *wham!* Too. Late. I'm also tired of these people who look absolutely perfect at every moment of every scene. No one is like that. It's like the entertainment industry have a collection of marionette dolls to choose from for every show and movie--most of whom are interchangeable.

Ok that's it for now. I'll be a good blogger and stick to my title.

Hello

This is my very first blog and I am very nervous. My hope is that it will be accidentally great because not much that I do that I hope is great ever works out as I wish. However, things I find small and pointless (much like myself) tend to mean something to someone. Usually when this is the case I find out years later. My hope is to find some point to this and to myself while making others laugh and smile.

I hope someone out there will enjoy. Thank you.
