Sincerely Yours

Good Morning Planet Earth,

I am two days from my move to Texas.  I'm becoming okay with the move, knowing it's for the best, but can't help but wish things had turned out differently here in Kentucky.  This outcome isn't what I had envisioned, not what I had hoped for.  People keep telling me that things happen for a reason.... funny, I have found that people say that when they feel bad something happened and don't know what else to say. 

Take Care, and keep in touch
Me

Get The Beer Tree Ready, I Plan On Doing Some Harvesting

Moving!!! Ugggghhhh....Who in God's name invented moving???  Probably someone who has never had to do it I bet.  I have toyed with the idea of just grabbing my laptop and hitting the road to Texas....and screw the rest.  Well grabbing my laptop and television, and just taking off....mmmmm my laptop, television, and Packer stuff...yeah BAM, I'm outta here......uhhhhhhhh well my laptop, television, Packer stuff, and DVD player, SHAZAM GONE!!  Hold on hold on....my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, and printer....KAPOW!! TEXEEEEEUS HERE I COME!!!  Whoa now, make that my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, printer, and Turkish carpets....TEXAPALOOZA HERE I COME!!!!! What did you say??? My griddle??? ohhhh yeah, I wuvs my griddle....so my laptop, television, Packer stuff, DVD player, printer, Turkish carpets, and griddle...PUT THEM LONGHORNS ON THE GRILL IMA COMIN!!! 

Oh hell, I'd better get to packin......

Something To Squee About

I Have Been Schooled

I have added a new word to my vocabulary...*Squee* is now part of my daily repertoire of words.

YIPPPEEEEEEEE

Well, I've packed my wine glasses....so looks like it's back to swilling my wine straight from the bottle.

I Am Such A Trekkie...And Proud Of It

*Squint*

I did a good job with my coffee this morning.  I have to admit that I don't consider my coffee the best.  I've tried different ratios with the water to coffee mix, but just haven't found the secret formula.  Today for some reason I seem to have found the right grain amount....or something, because I liiiiiiiike it.

Taking Applications

Come on...I know you all want to come here.  You know all of you out there in those *sub-par* countries want to come here....suuuuure you do. 

Hmmmm Good

I love my morning coffee. Thats all for now, I love my morning coffee. I'll be back after I have my morning coffee. Did I say how much I love my morning coffee yet??

Better Than A Horseshoe

I used to live in New Mexico, and loved it.  People there paint their doors blue because they feel it brings good luck.  I want to retire in Albuquerque, NM.

To Go Please...

As the sun peeks over the horizon, it bids me a fond good morning.  As it kisses my skin with it's warmth, I can't help but feel the emptiness within me....the knot in the pit of my stomach....I need something more, something that will fill my soul.  Then it hits me...the knowledge of what I have been missing all of these tear filled weeks.  What I have been missing is the love of a jelly filled Krispy Kreme doughnut.  

That's A Wrap...

Thank you for all for the movie suggestions.  Some I haven't seen and will definitely check them out.  I belong to Netflix, and my Queue is getting pretty thin.  I've listed the movie suggestions you all gave me.

Backspace

I have sat staring at this page sooooo often...just staring.  I know exactly what I want to put down, exactly what I want to type.  I will type a few sentences....and the words will just effortless flow from my mind to my fingertips.  Then, I'll stop....re-read the sentences I have written so far...and hit the backspace key until they are all gone.  What I want to put down are my feelings....my thoughts, and although there have been times when I've been able to put some down, post them and leave them behind on my blog.....there are other thoughts that I just cannot seem to put down....am unable to allow out of the privacy of my mind...and my heart.  I want to put them down on here...really I do, but just can't do it. I go through this ritual most everyday....open up a blank page....start to type...stop, then delete.  I will keep attempting to get these thoughts out....perhaps tomorrow, yes maybe tomorrow.

Ewwwww They're Kissing....

I know it's hard to have just one favorite movie...but could whoever might read this tell me a few of their favorites???   I'm always looking for  a good movie.  Here are a few of mine, in no particular order.

I Have Concerns

Dear Planet Earth,

     You are so round.  No really, you are so friggen round, and I sure wish I knew how this whole gravity thing works, because sometimes when I'm drinking I wonder why we all don't just fall off???  I admit I worry sometimes when our part of the world is on the bottom that gravity will give out and off I go.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours
Me

Excuse me, but is there a McDonalds in Zion???

I'm watching the Matrix, and if it were me...I'd say put the plug back in.

"Well hello there, I'm from...."

I have always wanted to be from somewhere exotic.  I think it would be soooo cool to live in Sydney, Australia....or London, England.  To be able to tell people I live in Amsterdam, or Vienna...would be pretty neat. 

Right now I live in a pretty nice small town, but there is absolutely nothing exotic about it.  It's one of those towns that tries to sell itself as a "destination"...a town that wants you to think it's worthy of getting off the interstate to visit, but it's really not. I like the town...Hollywood even made a movie using my town as the backdrop...with Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom...They  used the our name as the title, but it was a pretty lousy movie, such is life...no one gets off the interstate to check it out.

Excuse Me, Are You Using That Pennie?

I've purposely led a pretty boring existence lately. Now don't get me wrong, I would never call my life exciting, but in an effort to save some money, I've intentionally laid low as of late.  I'll be honest, and tell you that laying low hasn't helped my shitty summer get any better, but with my world hopefully looking up, this summer will have been worth it.  If it wasn't for beer and Ramen I'm not sure how I would be making it.

Who Are You Again?

Sometimes, when I'm remembering something from years ago, I seem to find myself remembering in the third person.  I mean, remembering it like I wasn't the one in the memory....like it's someone else.  I don't know which year in my past is the line....the point where my memory became only facts, as opposed to an emotion.  Sometimes I attribute this to the fact I've had so many phases to my life...so many things have happened, so many people have come into my life...so many people have left my life.  It's just that sometimes when I look back, it just doesn't seem like it's me in my memories ya know???

HELP ME!!!!!

They say the first step in admitting you have a problem is to actually admit there is a problem.  So okay here goes....."Hi my name is Unobserved, and I need to do laundry".  Whew that did feel good, like removing a load off of my shoulders....well time to watch some T.V.

Discard Pile

Okay I can't be with you, I get that....we have spent days hashing all of that out.  What I need to know is that I won't just keep sinking to the bottom of your heart, and won't ultimately find myself in the discard pile alongside the Cabbage Patch Doll, and your My Pretty Pony collection.  I would love to find a small little niche about halfway down your heart...right next to the Dirty Dancing movie.  I can live with spending my days there.

Oklahoma City

I love to travel, and if I were financially able would do a lot more.  I would love to travel the world....to see other countries.  I would also love to just throw a bag in my car and hit the road,  traveling around the United States.  I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to do a lot of traveling so far in my life...I've seen Mount Rushmore....the Grand Canyon....have driven on the famous Route 66....visited the Alamo...climbed the stairs of the Statue of Liberty.....I've been to the top of the World Trade Center.

One site I was very lucky to visit was the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial.  The tragedy of the bombing is enough to bring one's emotions to the surface, knowing there had been a daycare located in the building made me sad, but the memorial is so somber...so well done that when you enter the grounds you automatically begin to whisper..one of those places ya know????

There are many aspects of the memorial, but a few really touched me, such as the gates at either end of the grounds.  Two gates....on the top of the entrance gate only says "9:01"....when the bomb went off....and the gate located at the other end of the site only says "9:03", the length explosion, the 3 minutes that changed so many lives forever.  There are chairs set up...one dedicated to each of the people killed in the explosion, but as you walk among them, you notice there are smaller chairs, each one dedicated to a child from the daycare. 

I know Oklahoma City isn't exactly a destination city, but if you are ever in the area, please plan to visit the memorial, it is something that will forever stay with you. I have only mentioned a small part of the memorial....there is a museum, and several other areas to visit.
