In honor of the doom that is RAPTURE, I will blog

Not that this will have anything to do with the end of the world as we know it...but still.

I was going to buy a new keyboard for work this weekend, but I think I'll buy a magnetic whiteboard to display my kids' artwork instead.

I don't buy this End of the World bullshit, but it's fun to joke about...I'll give God that.

I've been doing a lot of contemplating about what/who/what I need in my life, and have determined that I'm just fine with the status quo.  Are there moments when I want/need someone to prop me up, take care of me, and support my decisions?  Sure.  But, truth the told, the hours I want my independence totally outweigh those piddly little moments.  I am good, thank you.

Like the rest of my life, stuff at work in flux.  We are merging with another company.  Many jobs gone, my job - for now - remains.  What I do changes.  My main account goes away soon.  I love my main account...feel I'm good at it and such, and will miss it.  New stuff?  Not scary.  Just want to do my best, be successful, and feel good about the junk I do.  Oh, and new shift, too:  Wednesday through Saturday, 8am - 6pm.  New kid-sharing schedule, which I think will be better.  Less time between having/seeing the kids.  I think it'll be beneficial to all parties involved. 

You know that song by Michael Jackson...Man in the Mirror?  Today, I just realized how much I like it.  Back in, like, 1987, my Aunt Angie totally loved that song.  Of course, she also loved that song, Lady in Red...

In other music-related news, I am pissed!  I had finally found a local radio station that I mostly liked.  Much like they do when you find a deodorant you dig, they go and change that shit.  It was Frequency 94.1, playing mainly alternative tunes.  Now?  It's crazy.  All of the sudden, it's Journey 94.1...90s, 80s, Now!  Bullcrap!  I call Bullcrap!  Whatever, I'm going back to iPod in the car.  Losers.

I am going to St. Louis at the end of June to see one of my best friends and I am so excited!  Also, photography will be involved!  To say I am looking forward to this trip isn't enough.  I am bursting!

I used to blow dry my hair to the point of relative-straightness daily.  It was a pain...hairdryers are hot, and make me sweat.  Sweat is counter-productive to straightness.  The result?  A struggle.  For some time now, though, I've embraced the messy/wavy/curliness that is my natural gift.  And I am happy!  I'm happy with my minimal hair-fussage, happy with the results, and not bothered with excessive heat and sweat.  Why did it take me this long?
