new developments from yours truly...

·        if it’s spelled feb-RU-ary, why do people pronounce it feb-U-ary? this drives me crazy.

·        why are animals at the flea market always being handled/sold by people with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths? nothing against smokers, it’s just weird to me to blow smoke in an animal’s face like it’s inventory & not a living thing. i want to save every bunny, parakeet, chih-shund-yorkie-llasa-poo there! (i totally made up that breed, by the way…but, if it doesn’t exist yet, it probably will soon. so sad.)

·        having recently attended a military funeral, i decided that one has to be made of absolute stone to not be moved when ‘taps’ is played.

·        “yes, monkey! i do know every song ever made.” can i earn money from this knowledge?

·        why do people feel that their time is more important than mine? or have no concept of time at all?

·        i could go for a teeny, glass bottle of coke with peanuts right about now…don’t judge me!

·        when will lawmakers stop trying to tell me what i can/should do with my body? & others what to do with their hearts?

·        why are they called “baby gates?” you know you really use it to keep the dog in/out…or is that just me?

·        i wonder how hard it is to make a hula hoop.

·        i can never seem to find what i’m looking for until about 2 weeks after the fact.

·        despite my layers & boot socks, spring will be here soon. i need to start planning out a garden before it creeps up on me.

·        i still really want chickens!!

·        why do i still get blemishes at 35? is that like some cruel joke that i’m not in on?

·        conversational hearts are cute…i wish they tasted better.

·        a chocolate fountain at a buffet restaurant just doesn’t seem appetizing…at all.

·        i wish there was like a vegetarian fast food place. i’m in a hurry too, sometimes & i could use a drive thru.

·        how come some people get bent out of shape over tiny things, but totally ignore huge (affects everyone type) issues?

·        i would like very much to be a “morning person.” maybe i just live in the wrong time zone…nah, that doesn’t make any difference, does it?!

·        while practicing reading & spelling with monkey, i have become very aware of my drawl & proper enunciation. yes, i want my 7 year old to sound educated…is that so wrong?

·        i love the word cojones.

·        i like the idea of playing the lottery for fun, but am secretly terrified to win an obscene amount of money. (i know, right?!)

·        is it silly & lame-o that i am so thankful to have adele’s music in my life? i just adore her!

·        i know more about video games & arachnids than i ever thought possible.

·        in the mood for a kevin smith movie marathon.

·        there is a team of old scholars & scientists trying to fashion the calendar in a way that a certain date would fall on the same day every year, buuut we still don’t have a cure for cancer or AIDS…this makes absolutely no sense to me! (i question the priorities of those in position to really make things happen!)
