According to Ms. Write Again Soon, I need a kick-start to my blog, and I can't disagree! She tagged me yesterday with this task, and if I didn't religiously check her blog (when I should be doing other things), I wouldn't have realized. So, I will partake...1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.3. People who

According to the birthday calendar:As of 1/26/2007 10:37:51 AM ESTI am 30 years old.I don't feel it, though.I am 366 months old.So, next time someone asks me my age, I'll be like those annoying parents who give their children's ages in months.I am 11,158 days old.My first thought was, "How many of those did I waste?"I am 267,802 hours old.At least 7,802 of them spent on the internet.On my next

Obviously, no funny shit has happened to me in quite some time, so I have to make things up for your viewing pleasure. I found this "advertisement" and I couldn't stop laughing.I need a good laugh these days — I'm so stressed out with the Biz that I'm actually having trouble staying asleep at night. I'm considering requesting Lunesta or Ambien at my doctor appointment at the end of the month...or

But, no. I have to run more errands for the Biz, then attend a Biz-related social event preceded by drinks with some of my girls. I anticipate that the pre-event drinks will be the best part of the evening. Other than, of course, falling into bed. I hope I don't get home too late.Jeez, I'm a party pooper.

While watching TV the other night, I saw a commercial for an upcoming "Hogan Knows Best" episode. Apparently some Hulk Hogan super-fan pays the Hogans a visit and gets to work out with Hulk. Somewhere along the line, the poor guy isn't feeling well and is shown tossing his cookies. The viewer is given a full-frontal view of the spew. (I promise you, I got this all from the teaser to the show—not

Ms. Write Again Soon is the source for this oh-so-fun personality test. Not sure I agree with the description, but the percentages are pretty accurate...HippieYou are 42% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 28% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant. You are the Hippie! Characterized by a strong sense of extroversion, irrationality, gentleness, humility, and a faint scent of marijuana, you no doubt frolic through

Something occurred to me while I was out shopping/banking/yoga-ing a few weeks ago...almost every person I came in contact with asked me if I was finished my Christmas shopping yet. The first thing I thought after realizing this, was that this seemingly innocent question is personal on so many levels. Think about it. Weird, huh?Although I have 1.5 scarves left to knit, all gifts to wrap, house

Remember that movie Groundhog Day? That's what life feels like to me lately. All my days are running together, and I'm feeling a little like a robot. Running a business + worrying about issues on the home front + being the only one in the house rounding up Christmas gifts + preparing to host 20 people on Christmas eve, does not = a happy girl. But alas, I've done it to myself! The colder weather

I have considered several times over the last months to start this blog. Since Ms. Write Again Soon has formally mentioned me in hers, I now feel compelled.Those of you who know me well, already know that "Pleasant Mornings" is a nickname bestowed upon me because I am horribly irritable when I get up in the morning. I'm not grumpy in general–I just need a fair amount of time, caffeine and peace
