Maybe I should not have done spinning yesterday.
My left knee aches and aches and this leads to my ass being chapped.
There is a physical therapist in my spin class and she said a compression brace may help some but to not let this go too long without seeing a doc...
It hurts to walk, sit on my left leg (yes...I know I'm not supposed to anyway) - stairs: killer (doesn't help I live on the 4th floor [OK Lynne... 3rd and 1/2 floor] of my apt bldg)...damn.

OK so I've been a little busy/irritated/distracted lately.
Haven't been a very good/dedicated "blogger". I figure some random thoughts are better than nothing at all...and they might make you laugh too.
From today:
Man my left knee really hurts.
How am I ever going to get a picture of that tree?
Is this the end of winter for this season?
I love mangoes.
How do you know when you’re generous enough?
I like what Obama’s talking about as far as teachers and education reform in this country: god knows we need it. We’re supposed to be the most powerful nation in the world… knowledge is power (as they say) and falling so far behind so many other nations’ on the education scale is scary.
Can I spin tonight: can I, can I? My knee really hurts…ok: is the question more: should I spin tonight??
I want a dog.
So glad I’m employed…and have my benefits…
I can’t believe our phones are still jacked up at the office.
I forgot to play Mega Millions last night: damn; now I’ll be convinced I missed my chance to win. Damn.

Random Thoughts 03/10/09
People are so freakin’ stupid and lazy.
Why don’t people understand the true meaning behind this quote/saying:
“The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory” – Aldo Gucci
Did the phone guy figure it the hell out yesterday or no? GOD he was annoying…
I really want to take a picture of that tree.
My left shin/calf kind of hurts.
Why doesn’t everyone exercise? I mean seriously people: c’mon.
I want a new car.
I want a dog.
I wish I could win the lottery (I play and play and play): I’d share and share and share: I’m very generous…
How do people not check their emails everyday?
Clients can be so freakin’ annoying.
Men who don’t cry freak me out.
Why do people eat so much pre-packaged/prepared food? C’Mon! Bad for the budget and most often: bad for the environment and bad for your pocketbook!
OMG if I have to listen to that guy clear his throat one-more-time I may scream!

A few random thoughts from today...
I love this advertisement for Jim Beam:
“If you’re not satisfied send it back; we’ll drink it.”
Was the boy I saw dressed in black, walking alongside the valley this morning contemplating suicide?
How much worse is it all going to get?
Are people grateful: truly grateful for what they have?
Did I turn off my alarm clock this morning?
Will I ever make-up with my little sister?
Can we ever be friends again and not just sisters?
Will my garden grow this year? I’ll have two plots!
Why doesn’t the video ‘Circle in the Sand’ ever show a circle in the sand?
Why aren’t people more responsible with reducing, reusing, recycling?
Living green/greener is not hard…
People are so freakin’ stupid/lazy.
There is so much garbage along I77 it’s really disturbing.
Could this guy here for our phones talk anymore or be anymore obnoxious?
Knowing the difference between (and knowing how/when to use each): to, two and too and their, they’re and there should be a requirement for moving on – to high school (at least).
Seriously?
Why would people buy an American car right now? I know there are deals galore out there but: hello?? So they say Ford has a couple good/ok cars right now (the Focus and the Fusion?): so what? That company has no record of reliability; the cars are new models so you have no idea how long they’ll be “decent” if they even start out that way. UGH. My dad’s a union guy and “has” to buy American: get it. I have three uncles who have raised their families because of the American car companies (2 with Ford, 1 with GM): get it. I’m also over it. I’d love to buy American: truly. Until they come up with models that are as reliable (overall) as my cars (HONDAs!) and build a track record like them as well (low maintenance, mileage, resale etc.); I’ll be spending my money wisely (for me)…on Honda (or Acura or Toyota or Lexus…maybe even Subaru…)

Dirty, Dirty, Dirty
MAN!
Can't wait to get my hands...dirty!
I ran to the store tonight and bought seeds (organic of course!) for my garden!
Can't believe it's nearly that time!
I have two plots with a community garden through an organization called "LEAF" (Lakewood Earth And Farm); it's great for us apartment dwellers!
I bought some herbs, peppers, tomato plants, scallions - I don't remember what else but I'm so excited.
I even saw buds on trees this weekend!

She's Got Her Ticket/Tracy Chapman
I love this song:
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave why not
Go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing
Young girl ain't got no chances
No roots to keep her strong
She's shed all pretenses
That someday she'll belong
Some folks call her a runaway
A failure in the race
But she knows where her ticket takes her
She will find her place in the sun
Why not leave why not
Go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
And she'll fly, fly, fly...
She's got her ticket
I think she gonna use it
I think she going to fly away
No one should try and stop her
Persuade her with their power
She says that her mind is made
Up
Why not leave why not
Go away
Too much hatred
Corruption and greed
Give your life
And invariably they leave you with
Nothing

Up
And she'll fly, fly, fly...

25 Random Facts About Me
1) When I was growing up I wanted to be a teacher during the week and a rock star on the weekends; really.
2) I paid $1500 for my first car: it had 131,000+ miles on it. I put 67,000+ miles on it and traded it in and got $1,000. I have owned nothing but Hondas since and will probably only ever own Hondas (or Acuras!).
3) I didn’t color/highlight/dye my hair until I was 31. After I turned 32 I went red and I don’t think I’ll ever go blonde again.
4) I don’t think there’s any dad better than mine!

6) I have never changed a diaper (that’s right folks: never!)!
7) I don’t like people names for pets.
8) I don’t like long hair on guys.
9) I am hardly flexible; no matter how hard I (or my Pilates trainer) try!
10) I cried when Tim Russert died and watched hours of footage of the funeral/memorials.
11) A Praying Mantis landed on my head once.
12) I graduated ‘cum laude’!
13) I have had a car payment every month since 1997 (and still have one!).
14) I haven’t paid a car off (since my first one) before trading it in (and rolling over WAY too much negative equity! Ugh)
15) I like peanut butter but not peanuts.
16) I received an eviction notice from my dad when I was 18 years old (I still have it – which totally chaps his ass!)!
17) I’d love to be published some day!
18) My driver’s license was suspended when I was 14: yes caught driving at 14!
19) My sisters are two of my favorite people: really!
20) My older sisters’ kids will grow up without pets and that makes me really sad for them.
21) I still think my first dog (black, fuzzy mutt named Daisy) was the best dog ever.
22) I was a cheerleader! Ha! YUP! Ra-Ra!
23) I hardly ever write in cursive.
24) I want to get re-married someday but will never change my name (even to hyphenate it) again.
25) I have only called off work 3x in 12 ½ years, haven’t had a full vacation day since 1999 and am not sure I actually know how to relax…
