Well, good luck. I don't understand my own brain so why should you? It might be fun to try to figure it out though. Why Brain Garbage? It's a term my first Psych professor used to describe one of the possible explanations for dreams and I've never forgotten it.Mykahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11630081026279408779noreply@blogger.comBlogger751100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253067157766394823.post-69058639583435848982011-04-22T19:59:00.000-07:002011-04-22T20:06:33.370-07:00

It's Saturday. I've been at the front desk (my old post) of my office for almost 10 hours. It's kind of cloudy outside. Everyone else in the office is tucked away doing a "code sprint" and I don't even really know what that is or what the result will be. I've been cleaning up after them, setting up their meals, running little errands. Sounds miserable right?Nope.I'm getting paid OT to sit around

My first race has come and gone and it was amazing, liberating, fun, emotional...more than I thought it would be. It was fun! I had fun...running. I did it with my mom and my sister and that made it all the more special.Here's proof.and here is mom and I after the race with our MEDALS haha.I didn't try to be Supergirl and run the whole thing...I just did what my body told me...I'd walk briefly

One year ago today I said goodbye to my old life. One year ago today, my husband helped me put my half our stuff into my apartment and said goodbye. Neither of us thought it was for good. "We just have to make it six months..." we said. One year ago today, I was shattered, I was tired, I was terrified, I didn't even know how I would eat or breathe on my own.Today I got up and ran for over two

Ouch. Need I say more? Today was not easy. You'd think after doing a 20 minute run last weekend (YEP 20 MINUTES!!! EEEK!) that two ten minute runs would be easy. Ow, no. The weather sucked this week (NorCal sucked=cold and raining) (cold=anything below 65 degrees, I know I know) so I only got one treadmill run in.Whether it was the colder air, or my tired muscles, I'm not sure. Today was just

I'm reading a book about how to be more happy.This post is not about that.I'm human and I have many emotions and right now they are annoyance and frustration.Scene:Email-E to M, "Let's get together when I'm in town."

I've been meaning to blog for a while now. I have lots of topics lined up; books I've read, my reaction to The Fighter, dealing with the single life, etc.. I just haven't quite been able to plop myself in front of my home laptop in the evenings because I'm in front of a computer all day and it just get so...it's just too much.I've also been on an emotional roller coaster with all the feeling

Week three, session three, three minutes.I can jog for three minutes without stopping to walk. THREEWhen that realization hit me this evening as I did my cool down walk it was the most overwhelming feeling I've had in a long time. The sun was almost set, I'm in a neighborhood where nobody knows me (except maybe as the lady with the wiener dog), and I just achieved something I never thought I

"watcha gonna do? Do you wanna fight..." oh, oh sorry. I'm not used to being wide awake at 3 am on a Saturday with a hangover from a blue margarita. The moment I saw it was blue I knew I was in trouble but I chugged it down anyway. At least I didn't throw up the accompanying sushi.The good news? If I ever want to get completely hammered and I only have $8, all I have to do is take a short walk to

Training for a 5K isn't so hard. Relationships are.Couch to 5K week two training has begun and when session one was over I felt less challenged than the first week. It could be because I was on a treadmill. It could be the two minute rests between the 90 second runs. Maybe it was both. Maybe I'm in better shape than I thought. Regardless, I'm on the path to doing something new, something that

So I was going to be all "with it" and actually take my laptop out to my living room and put it on my LAP but then I accidentally jiggled the cords connected to my modem and the lights went out and my Internet was GONE.So I spent the last 3 minutes not touching anything willing all the green lights to come back to me.

Like the new look? I like black. It's clean, it's simple, you can wear it whenever. Apparently, you can't wear all black or you get called goth or a ninja or people ask who died, but whatever. Eh, new year new blog. I just wasn't feeling the trees (I still love you trees!).Anyway...You know those times...the times in between the moments of your life?

Happy New Year! Can I just say I am GLAD 2010 is over? It was really rough. I'm not saying it didn't have it's moments (boy did it have it's moments) but in general I'm just glad I get a symbolic fresh start.Before I talk about what lies ahead, I need to take a minute and remember what this last year has been. 2010 was me growing up. 2010 was me finding me again. I kinda like me. I need some work

Fear. It's pretty much been the emotion/force/whatever whatever that has guided my entire life. As a child I was afraid to grow up. Then I grew up and I was afraid to do grown up things. Then I did grown up things and I was just afraid.Will I be good enough?Will people like me?Will he love me forever?Remember MySpace? Remember when MySpace with the IT girl of social networking?

Look at the bright side...reading that had to make you feel like your life was freakin awesome!There will probably be no rhyme or reason to this post so just go with it...that's kind of what my life is like right now anyway.

The author of this blog (me) is officially screwed up. I just thought you'd all like to know. I wondered how everything that happened in the last year would impact me. Well, in a not good way. In a VERY not good way. (Yes, yes, I'm stronger from my failure and all the pain and I've grown up and blah blah yes I know that part) I don't trust people anymore. Mainly I don't trust ME anymore.My "

Maybe you don't care how I lost that last five pounds. Maybe you do. Maybe you "hate" me because I only weigh 100lbs and you are thinking "Oh gawd, you already have an advantage, you aren't me I don't care, shut up!" Fine. Whatever, get over yourself. I've been there. I still feel that way sometimes. It reminds me of those boys in 5th grade during fitness testing who could only do one pull up and

I have gotten more than a few text messages alluding to the fact that crazy lady has "fired" my mom multiple times and Mom is job hunting when she gets home. Thank God!

Is it just me or is it suuuper annoying that suddenly every Facebook status update is "Junior just did this...junior just said that...junior just went here."?I am 31 years old.

Today was our first monthly dinner...(yes we've had lunch a few times but those don't count, they have a time limit). It went well. I kept wanting to grab his hand like I always did but wasn't sure if I should. He looks well.He actually beat me to my apartment. I was walking Tully and heard a man walking fast behind me and I jumped a little inside and it was him. So we walked Tully together.

20 Days...that's how long I've been separated, "single", alone.I'm actually doing okay.I'm not going to lie. We do text each other daily. "Good morning" and "Good night" at a minimum. There are 143's and 823's (old pager code for I Love You and Thinking of You) and "miss you" 's in there too. Maybe we are breaking the rules of separation but whatever.

Let's just say, for the last year or so, the only blogging I've done has been OLD SKOOL, in an actual journal...

I've been planning on doing a blog about being thirty since well, I turned 30. I'm about to turn 31...yikes...so I guess I better share my thoughts, wisdom, etc soon.The only thing is, when I planned on writing this blog, I was in a much different place mentally than I am today. This year has probably been one of the most eye opening of my life, to put it gently. I thought I was just going to

I know, I know! I'm so lame right now...life is just kinda jacked up and I feel like all I do is talk about it so I've had very little desire to blog about it.Let's see...a little normalcy has returned so I did finish a book and squeeze a movie in this past week.The book is really old. I recently finished Firestarter by Stephen King.Review: Good to great classic King. Read it, you'll like it. I

I know it's been a long time...my life is well, kind of a mess. Rather than give personal details I'm just going to post the lyrics to "Can We Go Back" from Kelly Clarkson's latest album All I Ever Wanted. I think you are all smart enough to draw your own conclusions. It's almost scary how perfectly this describes what I'm dealing with....Can We Go BackYou're complicating thingsI need some room

Ok, so I kinda wanted Adam to win and I am a little bummed but...he doesn't have to sing that horrible song ever again.Overall, I thought the finale was great.Highlights: BEP, David Cook (what a tear jerker), Allison w/Cyndi Lauper (who is like, 55 or something and looked great, wow!), Kara vs. Bikini girl (Kara gave her a proper beat down both vocally and visually), Kris and Keith Urban (double

Well, this is the first time I like each of the final two enough that I'd buy both their albums. As usual the final showdown was kind of a letdown. I mean, by this time, everyone pretty much has their favorite and the contestants have had their best performances. This is just a formality really. Adam and Kris both had to sing 3 songs; their favorite from the season, a song picked by Nygel Lythgoe

This will be my first ever "Drunk Idol Review". Hehe. Hubby actually decided he wanted to go to Chili's and have margaritas on a Tuesday night (his weekend, not mine). Ok then! I was nice and tipsy by the time I hit play on the Tivo...Danny was up first and he sang some song by some artist I'd never heard of. It fit his voice...but I noticed he licks his lips a lot and it was grossing me out. I

I HATE it. I know hate is a strong word but it's the only one that fits. I mean really...come on, I'm NOT an idiot, but people try damn hard to make me feel that way.Most of this is going to be just vague generalizations because I do have to protect my livelihood as much as I'd love to rant openly about exactly what is driving me nuts.Look, times are tough.

A full year after their first televised appearance, they are still going strong (to the chagrin of husbands and boyfriends everywhere) and better than ever.Thanks to my friend Katie for the two soundcheck vids.Now I just have to get my butt home so I can see it on TV! I'll try not to scare Tully with my squealing (yes, I'm still squealing a year later).

I'm going to do things a little different this week...no organized recap of each performance. I'm feeling lazy. I'm tired. I've had a horrid cough all week...hopefully my abs have gotten a good workout. I am really happy Idol finally did a Rock week. The last few seasons it's been pretty apparent that "rock" performers can hold their own and it's about time they get to show what they can do.

Simon was saying the opposite of everything I expected this week...and how cool would it have been (for ME) if Joey Mac could have mentored....but Jamie Foxx was frickin' awesome anyway.Kris singing, "The Way You Look Tonight"- as soon as he started I felt a spontaneous EEK! rise from my gut. I had to stifle it, of course, because my significant other was iTouching right next to me. I love this

Ever had a moment where you suddenly feel like a stranger in your own life? I just did. Not really sure if it's going to change anything but still...odd feeling.Sorry, I know that is a little deep for a Thursday afternoon but I guess you can't always control these things...like PMS.

Top 7 take two:Well, it finally happened. Every year my husband says "I'm not watching anymore." when his favorite gets voted off. This year he really meant it. Alexis was his favorite so it's been 4 weeks now since he's even cared about the show (minus a couple Adam Lambert performances). With that, plus the fact that my house was 85 degrees inside, we weren't really in the mood to watch TV. We

I learned in Speech 1A in college that you never start anything with an apology. This isn't college however, this is real life, so I'm starting with an apology. This won't be my best review because this week has been tough personally and it was hard for me to care A LOT about Idol. Anyway, here it goes:Allison singing "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"- yikes...David Cook did this really well last

i see you looking at me like i`m some kinda of freak get up outta your seat why don`t you do somethin`?The lyrics to Britney's "Do Somethin'" were strangley ironic by the time she got to them Sunday night. By this point most of the audience was sitting and there wasn't much reason for us to get back out of our seats.I was soooo excited for this girls night with my mom and sister. Our theme song

Ok, so something pretty major happened today...something I never thought I'd do....something that I've been planning since October when I met a bunch of really awesome women online. Yeah, me...I made friends online. I will never tease anyone for doing that. Most people say, "20 years in the making" but if I said it, it would be a lie.

Talk about a disappointing week for me. I knew most of the songs would be from the 80's. I love 80's music...love it. Once again this group managed to pick mostly lame songs or perform them karaoke style. It was odd.I am glad the judges didn't do that walk out intro. Seriously, it's not about them and that just seemed indulgent (can I just say I'm sick of hearing that word? It's like, Simon's

You know, it's weird how you can go from thinking someone is quirky and cute to just annoying and rude.That is my "relationship" with Megan Joy from American Idol. She was eliminated yesterday and I am totally ok with it.What bothered me the most is she was so disrespectful. She was making weird faces the whole show and then she caw'd and "flew" over the elimination stool. Later she told Simon

I'm probably not the only person that was surprised by all the old songs the contestants sang last night. It was kind of a let down. I thought I was going to hear the idols' take on stuff we are downloading right now, that's playing on the radio now. Oh well. Next time I hope Ryan clarifies what download chart "Play that Funky Music" is doing well on. Let's get to my review, shall we?1. Anoop,

Gasp! Two blogs in two days!This will be short though...People can say what they want about pop music...that it has no soul, that it's manufactured, that it has a short shelf life but I have to disagree. Pop has given me more joy in my life than any classical piece (though there are a few that have a special place in my heart) has ever done.Anyway, in the words of the great Gaga (that's Lady Gaga

What a relief! Soooo much better than country week and also it is soooo obvious who the weakest performers are.Before I get into my recap/review though, a little about what is going on with me. Not much! Pretty boring stuff. I've just been working, chatting, Twittering, working out, and gardening. Hubby and I have some sprouts peeking through the soil...it will be interesting to see if we can

Due to wasting 3 hours of my evening watching the movie I reviewed in my previous post I can't do a play by play of American Idol this week...hubby and I power Tivo'd through 2 hours in 40 minutes.1. I always DREAD country music week. Not only am I NOT a big fan of country...for whatever reason, its almost impossible for the idols to make country music interesting.2. Kris Allen did great.3. Adam

When you've been with your husband for 10 years and he texts you and asks you on a date, you say "YES!". The date went fine, the movie however, was not. Hubby did not pick the movie, I sort of did and we agreed on it so the only people we can blame for wasting three hours (yeah, it's 3 hours...I had no idea) is ourselves.We decided on the "superhero movie" because, well, you can't really go wrong

Around 6pm I started getting tweets from my east coast friends saying things like "my ears are bleeding" "that person should never sing again" and "I'm remembering how talented MJ really is/was"...so needless to say, I was not very excited about what I was going to witness when I finally got to see the episode.Last night was the first of 10? weeks of the American Idol finals and the theme was the

Yes, that's right...after 10 years, Joe and I are finally going to the happiest place on earth together. Funny, someone I follow on Twitter is there today and they keep twittering about how packed it is and how unhappy she is. Surprising for February. It must be because today is a holiday. Hopefully everyone will be gone the rest of the week, lol.So, I'll fill you in next week. I'm sure I'll have

Her laugh alone...She was the only one I REALLY didn't want on the show. Fine she can sing...but last night she was hysterical before she even found out her fate...and her siren call mesmerized Paula into giving her a ring.

So, hubby is off on a tow and won't be home until it's tomorrow so why not share my thoughts as I kill time watching the Grammy's?Here we go. Ok, U2 is on. They are playing their new song about boots. Can't understand a word Bono is saying...must be why they have the lyrics on the screen behind him. Is he lip syncing? There is so much echo on the Grammy's compared to other award shows. Ooooh

Life is funny. Sometimes days go by and I can't think of anything to talk about and then there are days like today. In a three hour errand trip, I noticed some interesting things. 1.I was in line at Long's after picking up a few things, proudly unfolding my Chicobag and scanning the magazines when behind me I hear a dad say to his child "Who's that?" I realize he's pointing to a picture of

It's been a quiet week. My brain has been really consumed with getting ready for my yearly review. My FIRST review. I've been really paranoid. I know why I've been paranoid; influence from another persons experience, the economy, and my own standards. I'm not going to give details on who the other person is. Let's just say they were really worried about their job for a long time last year and

Finally! I don't feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Some of the decisions and statement the Bush Administration made, made me want to pull my hair out. How anybody with a brain could deny global warming has just boggled my mind...but we are talking about politicians.Out with the old, in with the new. President Obama (yay!) is getting stuff done! Check out his latest announcement. He's

1. Bush's Last Day. I've been counting down for two years.2. Obama's First Day.I have never considered myself very patriotic. I have always been proud to be an American but I always had this lingering sense that I didn't quite buy into a lot of what we are told about our country and what it represents. I have always been surrounded by all kinds of people growing up in the SF Bay Area so for me I

I literally just found this...I'm not going to bash on the guy because I think going out of your way to be mean to something is a waste of energy most of the time. Just so you know, supposedly the bearded guy is Joaquin Pheonix and he's retiring from acting to rap.The Hudson River crash-Is it really a miracle? That's what I've been hearing it being called. I don't really think trained

Hehe...hehe...NKOTB announced their Spring 2009 Tour Dates! LOL. Omg, you poor souls that go out of your way to hate them...you are going to be so drained by the end of summer you'll have to give in and accept they aren't going away. Unfortunately for me, they aren't rockin' anywhere near the west coast in March so I'm crossing my fingers for April...or this summer. Yes, they have said many

I get all excited about writing this blog and then on day two, my mind shuts up. In a way, that's nice. There are only a couple things that have caught my attention in the last 24 hours so here it goes:1. Biggest Loser Season 7-I'm only halfway through the second episode. (I Tivo everything so you must forgive my delay when it comes to shows) Joelle. What is that chick's deal? Does she think

Oh man. I'm so sorry. It's my first blog...and I'm reading over my description of why Brian Garbage and it totally sounds like I'm saying dreams are garbage. I don't think dreams are garbage at all. Dreams are great! Having dreams and goals is great...but I don't really know what mine are. No, I take that back. I do. I'm just not one of those people that latches on to things and believes in them
