Hmmpfttt

Yeah, that about describes my day. It was one of those days where I just can't stand the people I'm working with and can't wait to leave for the day. Luckily it is a Thursday before an off-Friday. Hopefully by Monday I'll feel better and be ready to go back to work. At least something happened tonight that made me feel better. And then tomorrow - Water World!

Remember Ken Jennings, the guy who won all that money on Jeopardy? I found a link to his blog, and it's hilarious. His geniusness and dry humor totally remind me of my friend Carl (speaking of, if you're reading this, Carl, update your blog!). A few weeks ago he posted a satirical letter to Jeopardy, part of which talked about how Alex Trebek is really a robot and how they need to change the colors and theme of the game. Apparently that made some people upset enough to get CNN on the case. They wrote an article about it, and later that day his blog and message boards were shut down due to excessive bandwidth. I still haven't checked out the message boards, but I'm sure they're pretty funny as well.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm turning 25 this week. In the past, I've always hated when people complain about their birthdays and how old they are and how everything is going downhill, etc, etc, etc. I absolutely never thought I'd be one of them. But as this birthday comes closer, I'm realizing that I'm getting older and how so not ready I am for it. I keep thinking about all the things I thought I'd have accomplished by now. And although it's only 25, I'm no longer in my early 20's, I'm in my mid-to-late 20s, where people expect you to finally grow up, settle down, and be an adult. It's a little scary. Even though a lot of my friends are older and still have as much fun as I do or more, I feel like this is it, this is what the rest of my life is going to be - get up early, go to the same job every day, come home and do housework, watch TV, sleep, and repeat. Ugh...I promise, I'll be back to normal in about a week, it's just hitting me right now. At least I'm throwing myself one heck of a party to celebrate! ;)

Ok, so I know we need rain...but this weekend I was going to get in so much bike riding, and every time I get ready to go it starts to rain again! GRRRR!!!!!! Great...so while I was typing that, I noticed the wrinkles on my hands. I'm so old!!!! LOL Ok, that's enough. I'll go upstairs and ride my exercise bike and pretend I'm outside...
