A day in

the life of my brain, is truly terrifying. This I have decided, because it's becoming more and more common for me to feel the need to expound random thoughts. There is so much random shit floating around in my brain at any one given moment that it's a miracle that I am not in therapy or heavily medicated. Perhaps I should be.
Weight wise, we're doing good. We are A-ok, except I am dreaming of the burger Dan and Jaci ate last night at the Rusty Duck. (Hey-non dieters, if you want a great place to eat, head to Dexter and visit the Rusty Duck, its PHENOMENAL.) I am not exaggerating at all when I say the burger was the size of one of my ass cheeks. It was gigantic. Dan and Jaci shared it and could not finish it all. It was cooked perfectly, dripping with cheese and bacon and ooey-gooey yumminess. I'll admit, I ate a BITE of the meat, no bun, no cheese, just burger. It was orgasmic. I nearly got a to go box, packed up my measly little lettuce salad and ate in the car.
Life wise, again I am annoyed. I must be easily annoyed. Or maybe there are just a lot of freaking morons out there with nothing to do but annoy the holy hell out of people.
Annoyance #1. Does anyone know the definition of the word editor? If you do, could you please share that definition with said editor at my workplace and ask him why the fuck he does not follow such definition? Here's my example: (Teacher people, or really, anyone who passed jr. high English, feel free to chime in on how this group of thoughts is so extremely fucked up, how you would fix it and how, pray tell, you can call yourself an editor and allow this to be printed) "Before this year started, Exira-EHK's senior forward wanted to prove many people wrong. She thought many people were not going to think much of the Spartans this year and Nelson and the Spartans wanted to show people that the Spartans are a team to be reckoned with." It makes my skin crawl just retyping it. I had to start over three times because my brain was not allowing me to type such drivel. First and foremost, Nelson who? And how many times can we say Spartan in one sentence?  Try a pronoun asshat.
Annoyance #2. Our beloved company switched us from AFLAC to Colonial Life supplemental insurance. We are very accident prone people, I have an accident policy. It's supposedly cheaper, but gives back more money when you file a claim. Problem is, I filed a claim with my agent on Feb. 4. (actually 3 claims) I have no check yet, I tried checking on the status of my claim through the 800 number, and no such claim exists, and my agent won't call me back. Grrrr.....
Annoyance #3. The Royal Wedding. WHO GIVES A FLYING RATS ASS? Do we really need 10 minute updates EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY?  Show me a wedding picture or two after the event, I may be mildly interested, but for now, I'm really getting tired of the, "Kate took a shit today and evidently she had corn," style updates that are all over the television. Seriously, enough already.
Annoyance #4. Please don't get me wrong, I love my childrens' school, I really do, but we wonder why some of our athletic programs are lacking, when there are no coaches who open the weight room in the mornings, every morning. Yes, I understand we are in between seasons, BUT weight lifting should be a year long thing, not just during the seasons. I have a son who gets me up every morning to go to school and lift and he has to hunt down the janitor to open the weight room so he and a few other 8th graders can lift. Yes, I know we have started a weight lifting class for juniors and seniors, but that's too late. It needs to be for freshmen and sophomores. If you don't have a weight training program in place by the time you are a senior, forget it.
Merely random thoughts...I cannot for the life of me fathom why little bro doesn't like the Caramel Nut bars, but does like the strawberry shakes. I guess it really does take all kinds.
Good for Hawaii that they passed a same sex marriage law. Bad for Iowa. If Iowa and Hawaii were two states in which I could marry my same sex sweetie, I'm doubting Iowa is my first choice for a destination wedding...I'm just saying...
Wisconsin passes a bill (forgive me if I mis-state this) eliminating or limiting collective bargaining. Is Iowa next? I personally am a little torn on this. I think many unionized professions perform very important jobs, jobs that I myself, would not want to do. (Namely teacher people) HOWEVER, I think some of the public unions have gotten out of control. I think its sad that a courthouse janitor can get paid for work done two months ago that he failed to write down on a time card, because the union says he needs to get paid for it. If I forget to write hours down on my time card two months ago, I am shit outta luck. I also think that when budgets are tight, guaranteed pay raises and 100% paid insurance should go out the window, but because the union says so, it stays. I do not get to negotiate pay raises, I get laughed at and told "be thankful you have a job," (well, not literally, but its implied.) I do not get to negotiate what my insurance costs. It is X amount, take it or leave it. I do not get cost of living increases. We get 22 cents a mile mileage, up from 19 cents a mile since gas prices have increased. I don't think its wholly fair that I have to scrimp and scratch and save to pay for my health insurance, only to watch my property taxes increase so unionized public officials can get their health insurance for free. I don't know what the correct answer is on this and I know I am generalizing a bit here, but the two unions that I see the most are raping this county and we don't even get a kiss out of the deal.
Dear NBC, if you EVER cancel Parenthood, I will NEVER watch you again. Parenthood is BY FAR the best show on network television now and is in fact the only network show I watch, other than the Today Show. I want to be a Braverman.
Okay, I think my brain is empty again. Whew...thank God. Thanks for listening stalker friends.
