Gathering my thoughts...

Considering it's been December of 2009 since I last posted, this is quite an event. But I have to admit, I've recently been inspired. A young lady in my office, Brittney, has a blog that CRACKS me up! Okay, Brittney cracks me up and her blog is just a reminder of how funny she is! She is guaranteed to make you smile! Check her out: http://brittneysorrdinarylife.blogspot.com

So a lot has changed since December of 2009. Michael Jackson is dead, Oprah is off the air and my hair has red and blonde highlights. Yes, I drank the cool-aid and subjected myself to getting my hair dyed. So, now I'm a slave to the little, foil wrappers and have a plan to keep my hair dresser's pockets padded. It's the least I can do for her. After all, she does take 2 hours out of her day to rid me of my gray. Apparently it was hideous.

I also now possess an iPhone. Again, cool-aid drinker, right here. It's actually my work phone and it took me FOREVER to give up my Blackberry and trade it in for the device that seems to become an extension of your dominant hand. I'm convinced Steve Jobs is way smarter than we give him credit and one day our iThings are going to sprout legs and fangs and suck out our brains. (I know that sounds gruesome but I have an active imagination.)

I'm telling you, my left leg will vibrate 5 seconds before my iPhone even starts ringing. It tells me when to get up and has even sung me to sleep. It reminds me to buy birthday gifts, counts how many steps I take a day, tells me when my dog needs vaccinated, shows me which way is North and lets me know what song is playing in the elevator. If it only folded clothes and cooked, I wouldn't really have a need for any humans in my life. Steve Jobs is evil.

And that's what I've been up to since December of 2009. I've been mourning MJ, saying goodbye to Oprah, dying my hair and becoming completely dependant on my iPhone. Oh, and reading Brittney's blog! Check it out! Especially the post about Humpty Dumpty. I played the role of one of the king's men. Or maybe one of the king's horses. It all depends on how you look at it. The key thing is, I played a role!
