- I’m in a somewhat of a cranky mood so I am going to vant for a moment.
- I promise these will be funny vants though. No panicking, loyal subjects…I mean gentle readers.
- So my friend Annette lent me a book series which I may read. They are about vampires and I like vampire books (It’s actually more of a fondness of the paranormal, not the actual “I really hope that I meet a vampire” feeling). But one thing is keeping me from possibly discovering another author that I might absolutely adore and have another way of staving off boredom. And that is that the woman who wrote the books is named Raven Hart. Right. Your parents decided that you should be named dark deer. Please. I am fine with nom de plumes but does it have to be so cheesy? Sheesh.
- I am sick. I am sick of being sick. So very sick. Sadness.
- Okay, that wasn’t so funny. Unless you could hear me singing the sickness song in my completely off-key, scratchy voice.
- I like to sing. It amuses me.
- Huh. I think that might be it. Is the only thing making me cranky the fact that I don’t like this woman’s name and that I’m sick? That can’t be right.
- Oh, wait, I forgot. We’re out of Mountain Dew in the break room and no one will go up to SA for me. Amber offered me an apple. I am not sure how an apple is going to work. She said she doesn’t have any symphathy for me because there are plenty of other pops. Beau said there is no substitute for Mountain Dew and I agreed.
- Beau also rejected candy earlier today from Keem because candy doesn’t have caffiene.
- I think Pepsi should make a Mountain Dew flavored candy. That is sugar free and tastes just like the pop and has no calories and would stave off my cravings for the sweet, sweet nectar of the gods.
- Rykken left early. I am all alone in my corner of the office. Aloooooooooooone.
Okay, I think I’m done. Except it is supposed to snow and I reject the snow. I wish I could greet it with the enthusiasm of Kalli (she chatters when she sees it and it is seriously cute. Will post video someday) or this cat.
Stupid LOL cats. They ruin a good crankiness with their cuteness. Now I am smiling.

Raven Hart? Are you serious? I’d have been snorfling through the entire book from the sheer absurdity of that name. 🙂
I adore the idea of Mountain Dew flavored candy. They should make LipSmackers with that flavor, too. Also, I’d have totally eaten the candy, caffeine or no caffeine. Because candy is awesome.

I hope you’re singing now that you hopefully feel better.
Happy New Year!

Hope your weekend was better, and that your feeling food, and that there’s diet Mt. Dew in the vending machine when you go to work today.
I wanted to tell you that I’ve made a goal to walk 1000 miles on the treadmill this year (and you KNOW how I feel about exercise). Colorado Springs is 1000 miles from Minneapolis, so in my mind, I’ll be walking to your apartment. I’ll see you on New Year’s Eve, 2009. Have some good snacks, because I’ll be tired.

Miss, you’re absolutely right. Candy is awesome and I did have some. LipSmackers in Mountain Dew would be awesome. AWESOME.
Fred, I am still sick and I am sick of it. Grr. Happy New Year to you as well. I am spending it with my friend Beth for the great scrapbooking extravaganza! Woo-Hoo! I’ll probably be hacking up a lung but I’ll be there, dang it.
Sheryl, please. Diet Mountain Dew? Never. I have 3 liters of Mountain Dew for today because I got maybe 4 hours of sleep due to the cold from heck and the kitten deciding I was sleeping on the couch for her entertainment. I could hear her little brain working “AHA! You have toes! I like to eat toes!”
Dagnabit. Now you’re inspiring me. I may not use the treadmill but I’ll attempt to bounce on the yoga ball to Colorado Springs. Maybe if I imagine showing up at your place, it’ll get me to work. I will be tired as well but gosh, it’ll be a great party.

Keep it up, and get better.

I thought I had commented. Dang it! I didn’t. Hmmm. What did I think I say? I don’t know.
I’m sooooooooooo (enough of the o’s, right?) about this upcoming weekend. The iPod is charged and ready for some “Ask the iPod.” I was thinking – want to grab a nice meal on NYE? Also, we should go shopping at some point (early) in the weekend because you know how I eat and you’d starve for 4 1/2 days/nights. I’m thinking of making a pot roast again for you. That was nice. Plus, we can see if I can do it without Mom supervising.
I’m hoping you feel a little better and really looking forward to this weekend.

Dana … just wanted you to know that I think of you often and always wish good things your way. I hope you’re having a nice new year so far though, it’s not that far in yet… but sending you all my best vibes for a peace-filled and music packed new year… while you enjoy better health and tons of laughs!
So happy to see that, although you moved, you’re still at the blog!
