Busy Randomness

Sorry folks, I've been pretty busy lately. I'm still working on my pictures, you'll notice I've started posting them back up at Through Frigga's Eyes. But my guilt doesn't allow me to go without posting something more substantial than the meager posts that I've written this week. In lieu of something really more substantial, I give you a few tidbits of randomness:

  • I dreamt of roller coasters last night. I don't remember much, just being scared, and there were roller coasters around. Or I was on one. Or under one.
  • Have you ever heard of a Maid of Honor being told she's not allowed to invite a guest?
  • Sometimes, even when you're an adult, Mommy really can make everything all better.
  • Having to shave my legs with cold water makes me cold and grumpy all day. Even when it's National Grump Out Day and people are suppose to have a pleasant attitude all day, I'm too grumpy to care.
  • I've transitioned from simply not liking our Receptionist, to full blown waiting for the day when she's no longer here. To make that long story short, she makes mistakes, lots of them. Then I have to fix them and when I try to ask her about it to help me go about fixing it, she's all about pointing the finger anywhere but towards herself. Oh, and usually I'm the one who deals with the customer, so I get them yelling at me, and to be the good "people" person I am, I take the blame and apologize and then fix it. I hate taking the blame for stuff I didn't do. :(

Deep Breath, Click Send

"Big Red,

Hello! I'm actually pretty surprised to hear from you. I've thought about you over these past years and I really hope you're doing well. Are you still living in our hometown? I had heard you moved away.

Wow, it has been a while. How are you?

Take Care,
Frigga :) "


If you don't know what that's about, please read the post below this one. And then come and give me feed back. Please, was that an acceptable response? I feel like I'm walking on egg shells....

MySpace Strikes Again

"finally you got myspace... been tryin to find you for a while... get back at me. my phone number is 555-555-5555. hope to hear from you soon."

That was from Big Red. You met her, briefly, in my 100 Things About MeMe post, and again in the I'll Pay For The Gas series. That series was the beginning of the end of our friendship. Now I don't know what to do.

On the one hand we used to be best friends, she meant a lot to me. On the other hand, I hear, "DANGER Will Robinson DANGER!" shouting at me in the back of my head. Which is crazy because I don't even know where that reference comes from...

So, my options are:

  1. Call her and forget all past hurts. It's a clean slate and we're both different people now.
  2. Write her a polite note saying, "Thanks, but no thanks."

I don't like either of those options. I don't know if I'm ready to forget. I don't want to close the door to our friendship forever. I think I always knew we would re-connect. I just thought I would be ready for it when it happened. I'm just not ready.

What should I do? What would you do?

Not A Real Post

But I felt the need to mention how I've been a bumbling idiot everytime Bear is around. My face is still red from embarrassment from our last convo. It was no big deal, but I can be such a doofus.

More on this later ;-)

Under Construction

Sorry, no post for today. I'm going throught the process of re-organizing all of my pictures - so I'll be pretty busy.

Did you spend your weekend doing fun things? Or chores and errands?

Thursday Thirteen #42

Here are 13 news stories that I found on the Internet:



  1. 9 Words That Don't Mean What You Think - This one's from Cracked, so please be aware that their humor may be a little harsh (read: not meant for people who get offended easily!)

  2. Dementia drug instant hit claim - This is a serious, and goes with number 3.

  3. Memory restoration breakthrough offers hope of Alzheimer's treatment - Goes with number 2.

  4. Facial yoga's the new craze for losing wrinkles... but be prepared to look ridiculous - They aren't lying about the ridiculous! Just go take a look at the pictures!! :-0

  5. Man talking on cell phone killed by train in San Leandro - Some people are literally too stupid to be alive. Literally.

  6. New Way to Kill Viruses: Shake Them to Death - This one interests me. I'd like to see more studies done.

  7. Newsflash: Time May Not Exist - Awww man, all this time contemplating time travel and now this!

  8. Dreams: Night School - Have I told you about my fascination with dreaming? This theory sounds like it makes sense. I'd like to learn more about it though.

  9. Robo-Roaches Can Control Insect Groups - Yes, the title is straight out of a horror film, but the reality is really just creepier for the Roach factor. It's more of a social expiriment, but with icky and ewwy cochroaches. Pretty interesting though!

  10. The world's first time machine? Tunnel to the past could open door to future within three months, say Russians - Wait, didn't we just learn that time may not exist? Whatever, if it's real, sign me up dude! ;-)

  11. Oops, I only have 10, so sue me 8-)
