I got nothin’
Ayup.
Let’s have a big ol’ entry about nothing. Stream of thought ahead.
Let’s see…
I didn’t see my work girlfriend yesterday. She was in negotiations until about 9 p.m. What’s the point of going into the office on a Tuesday if I don’t get to see Instigator? Precious little, I can tell you.
Oh, however, Fresh Express did come by to let me know that the building would be providing breakfast for everyone tomorrow. Like that one time her boyfriend came into the office just for breakfast and fell asleep at a conference table with a chocolate eclair in one hand and a glass of orange juice in the other.
Speaking of, she hasn’t cut out any newspaper articles for me recently. Which, I am sure, the library is quite pleased about.
My sister called me today and told me that movies like Saw and Hostel scare her. I don’t really enjoy those movies but they don’t much scare me. And then we had a discussion about stranger danger which I seemingly have none of. But don’t worry. I still hate people. (I love mankind! It’s people I can’t stand. -LVP)
And the stranger danger made me think of Boss who had massive kinds of stranger danger. Also, I thought about her when Debra from Rubbermoon told me she bought a stamp.
Boss invited me to her kindergarten classroom for Christmas. Lots of donations for the kids, many of whom didn’t have Halloween costumes. We used to sponsor some kindergarten kids in Detroit. I wanted to go to take pictures of them getting their gifts and then have them printed for the families but she had to move the dates around and it didn’t happen. Sure the kids were really happy. heh.
I found a gray hair earlier in the week. At first I thought, “What the hell? I’m only 36!” Then I remembered that this is the third of fourth one I’ve found this year. Then I thought, “Well,whatthefuckever.”
I’ve been obsessing the last few days over something I am not sure how to handle.
I think part of what is bugging me is that I have not made plans for a large trip out of the country yet for 2010. I usually go in May. I need 2 weeks away and I suspect it will be Spain this year – Barcelona and Madrid for 9 days and then London for 4.
I sleep with my patio door cracked open because I like the cold air. When I wake, it is usually about 58 degrees. I call this perfect sleeping weather.
I feel like taking a risk.
Let’s hope I don’t quit my job.
Who knows? Who gives a shit?

So, are *you* going to be “show ‘n tell” for Boss?….or *stranger danger*! Please don’t say you’re going to be Rudolph.
And, what about the pyramids? Did they get knocked off your list?

The guy I’m seeing also likes to keep the window open… and in turn he has to deal with my icy cold ass… which turns into a heat seaking missle in the middle of the night.
What can I say, don’t want my icy cold hiney on your delicate nether region? Close the damn window!!
Lucky for both of us he has yet to complain.

Cheer up, I am 29 and am starting to sprout gray hair.
I need a trip too ! You would love Barcelona ! I lived there for a year I had so much fun.
I am trying to save up for Paris and Amsterdam next year if things work out.
How cool would it be to meet up in a foreign country ?
I can tell you’re stressed out. I hope you feel better soon.

I dunno Debra, I’d be pretty happy if he said he -was- going to be Rudolph. -grin-
Mmmh Barcelona. Take me with you…is that risky enough?
I have gray hair and I’m just 28, started getting it when I was 21 (not that it stays gray for long!) so 36 is nothing.

I was going to write a response to this post, but then I realized: Hey. I’ve got nothin’, too.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:06 am
I work with mostly women… Can I be a work lesbian?

@debra – Pyramids still happening! But we’ve decided to make it 2011. Egypt may be off travel advisory list by then (not likely…but we’ll see!).
@Tiffany – Hiney, cold or not, usually welcome by nether regions, fyi.
@Sandra – It would be surreal to meet a blogger in another country!
@Susan – I laughed at “is that risky enough?” I’d say that’d probably get at least one of us in trouble and at least one of us beat up.
@MommaSunshine – Ayup.
@Jules – I am confident you can. In fact, I’d probably enjoy work a whole lot more if more lesbianism was involved. Let me know how it works out.

Yeah, I found my first grey at 25, and thought “How’d I get Noxema in my hair all the way up there?”
December 16th, 2009 at 7:58 am
For optimum sleep, I require the temperature to be around 60. Then I can huddle under lots of covers and be perfectly cozy. The issue is, of course, that it is not optimum getting up weather. So I am frequently late to work.
Please do not ask what I do in the summer.

As you know, a very successful tv show was about nothin’.
I can’t sleep when it’s too hot and NEED the cool air for a good night’s sleep.
Just wait till you start finding grays in your eyebrows.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:52 am
My friend Gretchen and I are going to Spain in May. We should meet up! We studied there in college – on a trip to Prague I ran into Stacey Obringer on the street. It is surreal to see people you know outside the country, especially by accident!

You have nothing to worry about. I started finding gray hairs at 21 and it started to speed up in the 30’s- then I passed the mid-30 mark and I am ….are you ready for this….75% gray now. yep. Even find them in my eyebrows but luckily I can pull them out without an obvious gap in the ole brow showing. I get my hair coloured every 4 weeks and if by chance I have to wait an extra week to get in my hubby and kids think it’s HILARIOUS to start calling it my skunk tail. I don’t find it as funny at all…. Thankfully I am sure people find my auburn hair with the big caramel streak my natural colour so I am not worried
I hope to go to Ireland again in the near future. I found I actually liked most of the people there. Same kind of wit as me and everything had a lovely glow- could have been from the beer but who cares.
Hope your day gets better and your work girlfriend was in today. I am also very glad Fresh Experss is still making the stories…that girl cracks me up.

I really want to go on a cycling tour in Spain. That will be my present for my 40th birthday planned for 2011. I am a little bummed because I am not sure I get a foreign vacation next year. Sucky economy.
December 16th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
@Beth – That made me laugh.
@Jane – You know, Jane, you’re an oddly charming woman. I hope that comes out as a compliment because that’s how I mean it.
@mindymom – If I find a gray hair in my eyebrows, I’m going to call you and just scream into the phone. Except probably? I won’t notice and won’t care. Whatever!
@Christineroose! My sister and my niece will be in London – I’ll be meeting up with them either before or after time in Spain. I can’t believe you ran into Stacey Obringer. Man, I forgot her name. That brings back memories.
@andrea m – Whoa, every 4 weeks! Yeah, I think Besos did something like that. What a Pain. In. The. Ass. My day *is* in fact better – and my work girlfriend *is* in fact in the office and Fresh Express is still all over the map. I was heading downstairs to grab coffee and she got out of the elevator with a plate of breakfast food. She said, “OH, are you going downstairs?” Which, of course, I thought was obvious but really? NOTHING is obvious with Fresh Express.
@RK – That’s a great gift to yourself! Hm. I was about to invite myself along but, of course, I don’t want you to think I’m getting clingy and/or needy.
As for next year’s trip…if you don’t get one, that’s just another year to save up to make the Spain trip that much better. Man, that really sounds good, the cycling trip.
December 16th, 2009 at 12:41 pm
Glad your day is better!
December 16th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I doubt you would ever be confused with clingy.
A cycling tour like that needs a group of people. I am trying to talk a few of my friends into going. So far either they do not want to ride a bike or their kids are too little. There is still time so I am hoping I can change their mind.
This year I did a solo trip to Costa Rica to learn to surf. It was awesome.

Gray hair? Yep, a head FULL of it…it *glows*
I definitely don’t give a shit. …one of the biggest joys of being over 50.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
Wait til you find gray hairs in your …..
Oh nevermind. That’s what laser hair removal is for.
And um, if you need a European travel partner, let me kn…. oh wait. Rascal might have something to say about that.
OK, have fun and we’ll live vicariously through you!
((squishy booby hugs))

Dude, Fresh Express is a hotbed for mockery. I’m laughing and feeling sorry for her all at the same time.
The laughter wins…
