stupidhead

Once upon a time I wrote a list of 25 things about me & posted it on Facebook.  Since that time, Facebook has changed to the point that I can't find the list...But one of the things I wrote has been rattling around my brain this week.   It went something like this...I can't stand stupidheads, yet I can be one of the biggest stupidheads around.
That's how I've felt this week...so many stupidheads...and me being a stupidhead right back.
Complaining.
I need to stop complaining.
It's negative energy.
It is bad new bears.

In other news... I almost got smashed into pieces by a speeding ambulance on my way to work this morning.

Or I heard the siren, realized it was coming down Bennett (I was on 20), and put on my breaks to stop at the intersection.  Since I was planning to turn on Bennett, I wasn't going very fast, but my car did not want to come to a complete and final stop.  It was sliding in the snow & I could picture us sliding right into the intersection & getting struck by the ambulance.  I stopped, but there was adrenaline involved.


I FOUND where FB hid my notes!  Here's the note I wrote 2/2/2009:  {I was referring to #18}

1. As a child I was in love with Speed Racer. Like, really in love. I was devastated when I realized he was a cartoon and I could never marry him. 

2. I was a varsity wrestling coach for one season. 

3. I would buy coffee or a latte from McDonald’s everyday, but I think 40 is too young to be a McDonald’s regular. 

4. I became a jock at the age of 38. Then I broke my arm. 

5. I think my toes are really cute. 

6. I, not so secretly, love to wear my hair in pig tales. 

7. I will eat Twizzlers ‘till my stomach hurts…and, if there’s any left in the bag, I’ll eat more. 

8. I’m kinda bossy. 

9.I’m sad that my family is spread so far apart. I really envy people who have close families. 

10. I LOVE Sharpie markers. They come in many colors and styles. If I had to pick a favorite it’d be the hot pink ultra fine point…but I love all the regular sharpies, the ultra fine ones, the retractable ones, and the short ultra fine ones. I saw a kid at school with a retractable ultra fine one…I want that. 

11. Someone gave me a pack of Bic Mark It markers once. I wanted to hate them, and be loyal to Sharpie…but I tried them and I really like them too. They are slightly different than Sharpies ~ a little wider point ~ so I don’t feel totally disloyal. 

12. I hate to be late. Even when I try to be fashionably late I end up on time. 

13. If you don’t know who the father of your child is, I will judge you. 

14. I’m beginning to realize that all those powerful people who make all the rules and make all the money really don’t know any more than I do. 

15. When I walk into Wal-mart in July and they’ve just put up their Back-To-School display, I moan and groan with my kids, but I’m secretly happy and I usually buy something. School supplies bring me joy. 

16. I believe you should do things that bring you joy. 

17. I also believe that you should find the joy in everything. 

18. I have no patience for stupid-heads, yet I can be the biggest stupid-head I know. 

19. I am truly AMAZED by technology. I can take a picture with my phone and email it to my mother within seconds. I can do it, but I can’t understand it. I’m typing on my laptop…not attached to anything and I can post to something that so many others can see immediately. How does it get there? 

20. I was born in Oklahoma but I never lived there. 

21. I’ve lived in Coffeyville, Kansas; Homewood, Illinois; Hudson, Ohio; Chardon, Ohio; Thompson, Ohio; and Madison, Ohio. I love my house that was reportedly built in 1814 and redone from the studs by my husband. I will never move ~ not because I’m really against living anywhere else, but because I have WAY too much STUFF to ever pack and move. Heaven forbid I throw anything away…that’s what attics are for. 

22. My friend tells me I should throw it away or I’ll have daughter-in-laws that talk bad about me. 

23. I never really understood why people text…’till I started texting. It’s kind of fun. 

24. I keep a journal where I write down things from books I’m reading or quotes I like. It’s really geeky. But it brings me joy. (see #16) 

25. I’m very content with my life. I love my husband, my kids, my job…God is good.
