I knew I jinxed myself yesterday...

Sooooo, I left work in my super mood, headed towards Tyson's to have dinner w/my Mom at PF Chang's (excelllent food... Mmm Mmm good!) and feeling good, singing along in my jeep (you see where this is going, don't you?) and traffic is hellacious. I'm taking back roads to get to where I need to get but it's just not moving, I'm at this light that's only letting like 3 cars through at a time before turning yellow and red again quickly and I'm behind about 10 cars at the light and hear this 'ding ding ding' which prompts me to look at my dashboard and suddenly I see that my jeep's overheating and not just overheating but at max temperature. Ooops! My heart starts racing because there's no where I can go, I'm surrounded by cars and in this eternal light, all I'm left to do is just turn the car off there on the road, then turn it back on to inch forward when a couple more cars are let through the light. I immediately call Danny and tel...

I think I'm ok for today...

I'm having a ridiculously good night and someone's about to jump out of my closet and say "JUST KIDDING SUCKAH, You just got Punked! " any minute now. First of all, I'm just in a good mood, there's peace across the board on all my relationships/friendships, I don't think i'm on one person's S'list at all, not that I deserve to be but still, it's nice when I know that all's well on all fronts, you know? I'm in touch w/everyone who I care about, I'm not ducking any phone calls. Just, all's well. Ok, so 2nd of all the guy from Quicken Loans called me today and is getting the ball rolling on my new interest only loan for the refi. Said if I were trying to keep the house for another 5 or so years, this would not be a good loan for me but because this is just a loan I'm getting to hold on to the house for another year tops (till I'm able to sell it once I move out West and not lose money on it) it's perfect and cuts m...

Some little girls dream of being princesses. I dream of being a balsero...

In my dream last night I was apparently swimming around the shore lines of the Philippines (I knew for a fact in my dream that it was the Phlippines and I honed in on the visual of my dream from above the Island like a Google Maps zooming in) but on a raft and it was weird though because it was like Venice in that you could swim right up to buildings (some really beautiful and gothic looking buildings/churches but there were quite a few people on rafts who weren't allowed to get on the land (some were refugees trying to gain entrance on the island, others were tourists or just chillin', dunno). I was on a really weak kinda raft and saw whales (well, the SeaWorld killer whales) swimming underneath me and I was sooo scared and screamed when they'd look like they were coming up closer to the surface of the water towards me but everyone else was calm and doing their thing on their makeshift rafts. Everytime I thought I was drifting in closer to the land, a strong current wou...

One has nothing to do w/the other

Just 2 songs that struck chords w/me today: Toni Braxtong - Just be a man about it (I won't go into which lines got me because I shouldn't air out dirty laundry on here but suffice it to say some lines hit a bit too close to home, no, not the opening lines said by the man...) The Cure - Plainsong (this song breaks my heart everytime I hear it yet I put it on repeat when I come across it periodically) No, really, I got my own closure over some things but it's not to say that songs don't still trigger a lil memory here and there. When you're going through heartache, falling in love or feeling it intensly, you start feeling like some songs just speak to you. Been there on different levels and have felt all of them but especially after a breakup, I've nodded my head feverishly at the lyrics of a song and thought 'Yeah, they know exactly what I'm going through, lemme sing along as if I was a big winded R&B singer and show 'em all... I don't ha...

Men don't like the anti-Rapunzel

Ok, so I got my first non-compliment on my hair today. I walked into the kitchen to get a cup of water and one of the contractors who's working w/our company is in there and he tilts his head to the side and is just observing me getting my water. I'm thinking "he's done too much coding today and is zoning, I'll just ignore and all's well...". Nope, I start walking away and hear him softly say "you changed". I stop in my tracks and turn around and say "yes, I did". Mind you, he's got a thick accent so he kinda talks broken English. He tilts his head again and says "why?". "um, because I wanted a change and thought, 'why not?' and went ahead and did". He's got this big awkward smile on, tilts his head to the other side and says "I liked before". I nod. "Oh, well, um, thank you and sorry to disappoint.". He's still got this vacant smile on and says "um, before, bette...

Does blogging work like the government holiday schedule?

Image
Ok, I have no place to say but it seems like all bloggers are already on vacation. Is everyone that blogs really a government employee? I gots nothing showing on my Bloglines for the most part ('cept for Gibson, way to set an example... Oh, and Harms, you're not too much of a slacker either but you've been a busy bee, right?) and it's making me feel like maybe I shouldn't be at work either. Maybe we should all checkout and come back after New Years? It'd be ideal, except I don't work for the government and do have to worry that if there's no work, then there's no pay. No pay = Sad/hungry/cold Clussy. Wanted a change, so I cut the head hairs. I actually walked into Hair Cuttery (I know, I'm brave... or poor, whichever you want to go with), pointed to my hair and said "cut please. make it fun. not scurred to lose some length.". At that point, the overzealous Vietnamese lady went to town. I was good w/it at first but then she kept ...

If I can't have him, then Natalie can...

Image
Yay, these GORGEOUS faces are back together. I wanted to write in my diary from the back of his motorcycle but I understand we're too far apart, he's Mexican and well, me not liking Mexican food would be a huge obstacle for us and he's just not that into me (details, details...) so, I've come to terms w/the fact that Gael Garcia Bernal is not meant to be my soulmate. But, apparently him and Natalie Portman are an item again and what a hot ass couple they make! The babies would unfortunately be ugly though. I mean, you mix 2 stellar gene pools like that and the baby's destined to have extra limbs and contorted features. As Tim would say, Make it work!

As I was saying... I want to believe but...

Image
I just read the sad news... Is there any hope for us at all? I mean, they just had their second baby and we all just knew they were going to make it. The picture perfect couple w/class, grace and talent. This can't be the end. A publicity stunt for KFed's new record maybe?
