What a let down

Aaahhhhrrrgghhh!!

Why is this not in English!

Actually, I was kind of looking forward to reading it, mainly because I wanted to crawl inside the head of a complete deranged person every now and then. But alas, my own head will have to suffice for now.

Close call

You know, there really isn't anything better than stepping out of the shower, hearing the garbage men coming down the road, scrambling to put clothes on and wrap a towel around your head, grab all of the random trash in the house, snatch up the recycling bin, sprint outside to the curb and then discover that they were one street over from yours.

Smooth.

Blog forecast: 10 day look-ahead

Hey folks,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that my blogging may lighten up until the end of August. Yes, I know you're all wondering how you will waste countless minutes of your internet-surfing days if I go on a hiatus.

Well, check out these other fine blogs in case you get bored, in list format, of course:If I didn't list your link here, don't panic (because I know you're panicking...). I probably didn't have your URL handy, or I just don't like you. Except for you, Amar. I figured you would also be a bit too busy to blog for the next few days/weeks.

*Blogs are listed in no particular order*

Happy reading!

Open letter to the fine folks over at Bear Naked

Dear Bear Naked,
I love you. I really love you. Amar introduced me to you through some weird connections via Trilogy, and I'm so glad that he did.

You make some fine, healthy products, my friend. I'm currently munching on the Peak Protein granola, and yes, I'm loving it. Does a more perfect post-workout snack exist? I think not.

Thanks for making my day. I love the food. I love the site. I love the name. I love the concept.

Keep it up.

Open letter to the office AC unit

Hi there,
It's me. You know, the skinny white girl who can never feel her feet because of how cold you keep it around here. Yeah, me. How are you? You seem to be having a great day today, as usual.

I wanted to confront you about something. You seem to be a bit of a workaholic. I know, I know. It's 105 degrees outside so you feel obligated to keep us nice and cool while we're inside. You want to create for us a bit of an oasis. A refuge from the heat.

Well, I think you accomplished that awhile back. Pace yourself. Slow it down a bit. We work in cubicles, not meat lockers. We have refrigerators on each floor to store our food. You don't have to keep it cold enough at our desks to actually keep our lunches from going bad.

Please understand me here, I think you're great. But you can seriously take a break every now and then. Honestly, it's August and I'm wearing two sweaters at my desk. Something just isn't right about that.

An open letter to my chin

I see what you are trying to pull here, and you will not get away with it.

You very well know that the wedding is less than 3 weeks away. And yet you have the audacity to behave like a collection of pores that just took a week of work and headed to Vegas.

Well, what happens on the chin does not say on the chin.

You need to get your act together and start behaving more like the cheek, or the forehead. Get with the program here!

Open letter to my computer

This week I'll be posting a series of open letters to various entities/people in my life. Let's begin with an open letter to my computer.

Computer,
We've been together for quite some time now, going on about two years. It seems that in your old age, you have gotten a little moody. Know this, computer, that behavior will not be tolerated over the next four weeks.

It's crunch time, baby. I will have none of your random blue screens of death. There will be no poor performance. There will be a zero tolerance policy for data loss and/or hard drive crashes.

And that new motherboard of yours? You better get to know it really well, because that's all you're getting. I get you a spiffy new hard drive last month, and then you have the audacity to start complaining about your motherboard? I've had it! You, my friend, will make due with what you have.

You will open spreadsheets when I ask you to, especially if they are work or wedding related. You will display web pages promptly when asked. You will dock/undock when asked. You will recognize that you have a touchpad mouse, and it will function properly at all times. You will not lock up. Period. And you will clean your room!

If you fail to comply with any of these, your health and well-being are at stake. This is war, my friend, and you're either with me or against me.

Sincerely,
The person on whom your existence is totally dependent
