Waiting in line:

• Aaargh, my knee.  It's being a little funny recently.  Aspirin kills it sometimes.  Anti-inflammatory helps sometimes.  Ben Gay whole knee wrap may help.  Hanging upside down by my ankle with my full body weight on that knee is probably not helping.
• Kiddo has taken to questioning me.  Lord help me to not smack her teeth out of her mouth.  My word is rule!
• Teachers who wait until the last minute to grade my work.  I didn't wait till the last minute to turn it in, dammit!
• Oh, economy, please get better soon.
• Wanting to do 85,000 things and having zero creativity and even less time.
• Too many fees at Kiddo's school.  Fees for freaking everything!

Riding the coaster:

• Got my Wii Fit!!  Can't wait to go home and try it out.
• 110 days until I'm halfway done with my degree!
• Super nice thank you notes. :-)  It may take a couple years to get to taco Tuesdays, but I hope to one day.
• Being right.
• CIRCUS!  Finally got that damn chute half-turn (and the camera was rolling!). 

Building my callouses:

• Yeah, I'm dwelling on this one...first circus class (in quite some time) tonight!
• Dude, Kiddo is freaking funny
• The back yard area is looking good
• Requests to assist in news stories and performances (film at 11...if it happens)
• Being excited about something in Miami besides stuff I can't afford
• Ha!  Lost another pound
• Fantabulous nookie (TMI?  Too bad!)
• 1.5 weeks left of Biology (blecch) 
• Steelers def. Eagles (so what if preseason doesn't count)

Rippin' em off:

• Rain and/or hurricanes.  Hopefully we'll be spared the latter.
• Realized that 120 isn't a realistic goal for me but a lower body fat percentage is
• My car needs a gasket replaced...booo!
• Way too long till September 7

Pinwheel, pinwheel spinning around, look at my pinwheel and see what I've found.

Pinwheel, pinwheel, where have you been?  Hello, how are you and may I come in?

Pinwheel, pinwheel spinning around. Look at my Pinwheel and see what I found.

Pinwheel, pinwheel, breezy and bright. Spin me good morning, spin me good night.

These things I wish would arrive faster:

Long-winded?  Me?  Shut up!  No way!  That's a lotta intro for a list. :-)

Things that sit as well with me as a bowl full of ice cream in a lactose-intolerant tummy:

• The amount of tired I am currently experiencing.  Can't find my energy anywhere.  Who stolt it?
• A limited food intake that does nothing towards my goal of not weighing too much for my height/body type.
• The fact that the first two more than likely go together.
• Parking tickets on the beach.  Screw you parking authority.  You have no authority over me.  I spit on your $18 ticket (and then I pay it).
• Today is my last day of peace for 42 more days.
• Florida on fire.
• Nothing has tasted right for the last two days except the bacon I "borrowed" from Lovey's omlette this morning.
• Knowing I need to do things and not having the gumption to do them.

Things that feel like sunshine on my shoulders making me happy:

• Walking into the house and looking at the pretty living room.
• Pole classes even though they remind me that I am a slug that needs to stretch.
• Fire-Roasted Tomato and Olive Oil Triscuits.  Deelish.  When paired with the Carribbean Chicken salad from Publix, it's like sex in your mouth (and not that he-just-had-asparagus-sex either).
• Writing things that make people say, "DUDE! GROSS!"
• MommaShyner getting an all-clear at her latest doctor's appointment.
• Free scoop of ice cream today at Haagen Dazs!
• Free iced coffee on Friday at Dunkin Donuts.  'Merica runs on Dunkin. 
• My soon-to-be-rearranged personal space.
• My negative twin shooting through Miami this week, or at least he'd better.
• QT with Lovey on the balcony.
• Kiddo and her notebook notes.
• The knowledge that I am about to take over the world and there is not a damn thing that anyone can do to stop me.
• Writing things that make people say, "WTF is she talking about?!?!"
• Sunshine on my shoulders.

Things that I am waiting for that are nearly making me explode with anticipation:

• VACATION!  In 59 days I will be 1000% loving life, talking to squirrels on the deck while I have my morning coffee, hitting the hot tub at night, the sandbar during the day (along with nekkid boating), and equal world-rocking for Lovey and I.
• MORE VACATION! A mere 262 days until we jet off to Park City where I can have two of the best massages I've ever had.  EVER.  One to warm me up for busting my ass on the mountain and one for relief from busting my ass on the mountain.  No one ever told me that black folks don't do winter sports, so sue me. :-P
• GRADUATION! This one's still pretty far out on the horizon.  So many days that I don't have a count on it, but everything in my evil plan is progressing quite nicely.
• MOVING! Miami can kiss the crack of my blac..oh, sorry, I forgot where I was.  Right, so I've had enough of Miami and am ready to leave city living.

That's all I've got for you.  I love you. What?  Oh, nothing.

Indeed, it is time for Things on Tuesday.  Nothing witty, just the things.

• Toga wedding in two years-ish

Let's just jump right in, shall we?

Things that get my panties in a bunch:

• Wedgies.  Wait, that's not what I was supposed to say.
• Having to sorta write my job description.  Why?  Because it points out how much nothing I really do all day.
• People that don't want to pitch in on a group project.  Come on people, it's your grade too!
• Not much else really.  I'm a happy camper!

Things that make me tingly:

• Tiger balm.  Damn, off topic again.

• A nice round 80 days left till vacation.
• A new restaurant opening down the street from our vacation spot.  Close enough to stumble home if necessary.
• L.E.M. the Workout - this guy is sheer evil and his medicine ball can go straight to hell but damn if he's not gonna get me all toned up.
• Kiddo's on her best behavior so she can go to camp.
• Lovey starts his new job in T-8 days and counting.
• I have still avoided the Blackberry.
• It's the last week of International Business and with class ending on Sunday, I'm way ahead of the game AND might still squeak out an A.
• My new travel mug from work.  Yes, it's slightly cheesy but it was still free.  Happy Earth Day.
• Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day and that means free lunch at China Grill.  Hell yeah for their Cracklin Calamari Salad.  Diet be damned.
• When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty.....

And, new for me. 

Things I want to accomplish (no time frame, but sooner rather than later would be better)

• I've really gotta learn Spanish.  For these last two years I've got here in Miami, it would be helpful.
• Obtain a personal trainer certification.
• MCTS (SQL Server 2005) and MCITP (DBA) certifications.
• Must.  Learn.  PHP.  Also.
• Read more books.
• Become a practicing Wiccan.
• Schedule my time more wisely and STICK TO THE SCHEDULE!

• Grow bigger boobs.  HAHAHAHAHA.

Okay, okay, that's enough.  Have a great day folks!
