Random Tuesday Thoughts

The unmom is doing her weekly Random Tuesday Thoughts and I thought I'd join in. It seems that lately I've hit this wall with blogging. I'm too tired and exhausted, first off, to pay much attention to my blogging. It seems I'm not even reading blogs on my Reader lately either. Yes, I have become too lazy to blog! How can that happen? Anyways, I figured what better way of jumping back in then for someone else to tell me what to write about! I don't do well with being told what to do but I figured this one time can't hurt!

My Random Tuesday Thoughts, so far, have been....

The outfit I wore today? Lame! It is ok with my sweater on but guess what? I didn't look into the future when I'd be sitting here at my office working away and getting so hot (which, lets face it is EVERYDAY!!!! For some reason, people here like to keep the heat at 78 which means I'm sweating my ass off!) that I'd have to take off said sweater. Without the sweater, I'm basically in white from head to toe. And yes, I'm wearing white pants! I'm a rebel like that... So now I have to stay seated at my desk so I don't look like a fool, or put the sweater back on, which it's too hot to do!

Think anyone would notice if I just went home? That would fix the problem!

It's snowing like CRAZY out here in Utah. Big, fat, fluffy snowflakes that ARE sticking to the ground and roads. This morning it was beautiful and so peaceful to watch.

UNTIL I had to drive in the crap! Then it wasn't so cute.

I'm just wondering when it became socially acceptable for someone to make horrid bodily noises at their desk in the office for everyone to hear. And then repeat them every 10 minutes or so! Seriously!?!? There's a bathroom 50 feet away. USE IT! Other then that, this person is a beautiful, sweet woman who could be my best friend. Well, if she didn't make those noises!

I really wish I'd deposited more money in the checking account so I could pay the gas bill today. Which I completely forgot about until just now. Why do I have to make everything so difficult? I have the money. In my PURSE! Which doesn't help when I want to pay online! Ugh!

I'm also still fuming over a recent arcticle on Fibromyalgia where one of it's strongest supporters back in the day recently (last week) came out saying he takes back everything he proved to be true back then. That NOW he believes Fibro sufferers are a bunch of whiners who just don't know how to DEAL with their lives and problems. Yes, I'm still bitter! He proved all of these different things to show the world, and the government, that FMS was a REAL illness that deserved REAL treatment and respect. NOW he's basically telling us to stop whining, deal with our problems, and that we'll magically fix ourselves and never have pain again. Lame ass! And no, I won't link to him here because I don't want him getting more attention because he doesn't deserve it. And if I saw him on the street, I'd trip him the way Nicki tripped the "prophet" on Big Love. He feel allll the way down the stairs. It was awesome!

And I really want to start a separate blog that's about my Fibro and other health issues. I've wanted to do it for months now but things have held me back. Such as, what to name it for one. And I'm worried if I start a blog solely for that purpose, that I might dwell on my health more then I want to. BUT I don't know that I feel completely comfortable blogging about it here. I dunno why.

Anyways, that's my crappy Random Tuesday Thoughts post. Back to the regularly scheduled programming tomorrow...

SITS Giveaway! Check it out!

If you are not a fan of SITS, or a follower for that matter, and you are a blogger, you need to check this site out. Seriously. It's brought lots of traffic to my blog that I never had when I started blogging. And isn't that what we're all here for anyways? To have the validation through traffic and comments that someone other than ourselves is paying attention to our thoughts and dreams?

(Well, those and the whining that usually accompanies said thoughts and dreams...)

I love this site and right now they're giving away a fabulous prize for February, Bedroom Bliss.

No ladies, this does not mean that if you win, they will send some hot, sexy guy to your house to provide all the bedroom "bliss" you can handle.

Of course the prize will probably be delivered by a UPS or FX delivery driver...

Who will probably be male. (That's all that's ever delivered to my house.)

What you do when he gets there to deliver your prize is none of my concern... That's between you, him, and the nosey neighbor who will probably see you pulling him in your front door by his shirt.

SITS is giving away... (Drum roll please...)

An amazing 500 thread count sheet set (You choose the size)

A set of 2 Memory Foam Pillows

Sheet spray, lotion and candles

A set of soft and luxurious spa towels

$30 Gift Card to Target for anything we missed

And as an added bonus, as if the above stuff wasn't ENOUGH, (geez yer greedy!)...

The winner's blog will be SITS Friday Favorite the first Friday of March!

Which really means, they'll spotlight your very own blog, tell everyone about it, and hundreds of beautiful, intelligent people will race to your blog to check it out and leave comments filled with love and admiration about how smart, funny and witty you and your writing really is. Ok, well, maybe not EXACTLY that last part, but they will show up and comment on your blog. And since we're a group of friendly, wonderful people, you will get friendly, wonderful comments on your blogging.

What more could you ask for?? So go on... Go visit the links I've provided and enter to win. Not for nothing but I'm hoping I win this and not you! Spray 'n Wash ruined the last beautiful high thread count sheet set I bought when I sprayed it on one of the pillow cases. It bleached out the color! What's up with that?!?! So I really need to win this one!

Of course there are rules and stipulations on how you enter to win. So read through all the deets on their site to get all the info.

Happy Friday everyone!

My Promise to Myself!

I've been wondering how to get more readers to my blog. It's a little hard to reel in loyal visitors when there are so many wonderful, funny, talented bloggers out there. Even I have a hard time posting to my blog because there are so many great bloggers on my Google Reader that I'm trying to keep up with.

Someone suggested I put up a picture of boobs. Big, round, luscious boobs. In a red, lacy bra. With lots of cleavage. Well, it was supposed to be a picture of MY big knockers, not just ANY boobs. That would be a great way to bring more traffic to my blog! While my cleavage is very nice, it's not my style. And I'm not sure it would bring in the kind of readers I'm hoping would stick around. You know... The icky men who are googling "hot boobs" or "big boobs" or "cleavage" late at night, while sitting in their boxers, or worse, naked, in front of the computer. Not my idea of a reader I want to keep.

Someone suggested I run polls on my blog. About what I am not sure! And since I don't do well with other people telling me what to do, wouldn't help out in the end anyways lol.

Someone suggested writing about politics because that is a sure fire way to bring more traffic and get more comments on my blog. It would get people talking! Well, I suck at politics and about knowing what is actually happening in the world. Isn't Sarah Palin just a character on SNL? (I'm totally kidding. Nobody write to me to tell me who she REALLY is!)

Then I realized I would probably get more readers if I actually BLOGGED MORE! Imagine that! Maybe if I updated my blog more then once a month, and talked about it more, I'd actually get people coming back more often! That is one of my goals for this year. Notice I did not say "resolution" because you know how I feel about resolutions. So I'm trying to make a promise to myself that I will blog more often. It always makes me feel better when I blog. It's really therapuetic for me. It's the "me" time I so desparately need since I spend so much time taking care of everyone else around me except for me!

So it's a promise I've made myself that I need to make sure I keep! If you, my dear loyal readers/followers, don't see a recent post, I give you permission to email me and bug me about it! But seriously, don't ask me for the picture of my boobs. My profile pic has enough cleavage on it. That's about all I'm willing to share...
