Random Thoughts

I haven't posted in a while because A. I was on spring break and so were my kids...which translates into never seeing my computer.  And B. because I have had a lot of random thoughts, but nothing I thought I could make a whole entry about and C. I have had a research paper hanging over my head and thought I should work on that rather than a blog entry.

So now spring break is over and I get my computer from 9-3 every day.  My paper is mostly written and I'm using the excuse of needing to sleep on it and read it again in the morning to take a break.  I still don't have a topic so I'll just write down my random thoughts...perhaps I'll develop them into complete blog entries someday.

Hugs...I love hugs and some people are much better at giving them than others.  My husband happens to be an excellent hug giver and knows when I really need one.  My friends are not much on the whole hugging thing but all his friends are great huggers and hug me whenever I see them.  I'm thinking this says something about me.

Hair is such an issue in my life.  I'm okay most times with the hair on my head, except it is super annoying when it is windy...but why does our culture insist on no hair on our legs.  I prefer no hair, but if I had never shaved my legs I wouldn't know it felt better that way.  It's such an annoyance to have to shave all the time.  Why are men allowed hair on their legs but not women?

Dreams...I love hearing about dreams and trying to figure out what they mean.  Most of my dreams center around frustration, what does that say about me?

Weight...why is it so easy to find and so difficult to lose.  Why can't weight be more like the remote control and be lost all the time.

I have two cats...nice cat and mean cat.  Mean cat is mine and nice cat is my husband's.  I'm willing to give mean cat away, but my husband is too soft-hearted, even though mean cat terrorizes nice cat.  Mean cat is the first cat I have ever known that hates to be touched.  I thought all cats were kinesthetic...not my mean cat.  But I know she does love me because she is always around me.  When I'm on the computer she is up on the desk...if I'm in the bedroom she is up on the back of the chair.  I feel bad for disliking mean cat at times...but come on...don't swat at me when I want to pet you.

Laundry...how many of us have come up with inventions in our heads to make doing laundry better.  For example the washer/dryer combo so we didn't have to move the laundry.  Or the laundry shoot that automatically emptied into the combo washer/dryer and when it was full it started automatically and then shot all the clothes into the closets.  Or better yet...clothes that never need washing.  And don't you hate it when you do every last scrap of laundry in the house and then go into your child's room and find another couple loads.

Birthdays...I want to remember everyone's birthday and send them a great gift to let them know I was thinking about them.  In reality all that happens is...oh shoot...yesterday was so and so's birthday.  Thanks goodness for Facebook...at least I can post a quick happy birthday post on their wall.  It makes me feel a little bit better. 

PMS...why do we women have to suffer through it and put our loved ones through it as well.  I have been grumpy for a week and I'm sick of it.  I feel bad about being snippy and cranky...but I can't seem to do anything about it.  Perhaps my family just needs to let me go hide with a giant bag of chocolate until I feel better.

Mmmm...chocolate...already did that post.  PMS and being on a diet do not mix well...perhaps this is the reason for the extended crankiness this month.

Well I hope you enjoyed my ADD post.  If there was any topic you want to hear me rant about further please let me know and I may be able to oblige :-)
