I’m WORLDWIDE y’all:
“do you realise that by having me follow your writings you have an international audience? I’m from New Jersey, but I married a Brit and live in England”
Going for it:
Last night I met one of my neighbors. She was walking with her granddaughter who lives with her and a little chihuahua that was a mix of short and long hair. It kind of looked like a little tiny lion. I introduced myself and we got to chatting (shock? not). She informed me, in the course of our conversation, that she was a hair stylist in her younger days, but had gone back to college at 60 and...

Dear Bicycle Rider Dude,
I bet you didn’t know those spandex shorts you are wearing are totally sheer. Please rethink your choice to go commando. Thanks.
Srsly. Dude. If you go any slower, you’ll be travelling backwards through time.
It’s hard to get out of bed when it’s crashing thunder and raining.
ME: How come the whole house is freezing cold except our bedroom which is steaming hot?
CHUCK: Coz I'm in it.

Little Mindie got married last night. I think I cried almost as much as her momma. After we left Chuck and I got way nostalgic about the last 20 years of knowing that family. Dang. We love them.
“Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.” John Denver was right coz I am sitting on my couch and the sun is shining right in my face and my eyes are watering like mad. Crazy.

Chat from my Computer
ME: omg my boss is sometimes JUST like my dad
CHUCK: a dude? 6 foot tall?
ME: No. she says to me "Carmen, your shredder needs to be emptied. I don't want it to catch fire."
ME: like if my shredder is full, it may spontaneously combust
CHUCK: lol good thing she never saw the one at home
ME: i mean for real
CHUCK: it was so full the lid started to pop off
ME: has anyone ever seen a shredder catch fire because it was full?
CHUCK: not me personally, but once I knew this guy that his brother's best friend's boss said it could happen...he would know cause he was a boss.
ME: O M G R O F L
ME: i guess if something metal got in there and it sparked it could catch fire
CHUCK: you do shred alot of foil
ME: *dies*

seriously, I really don’t care one way or another about the giant puffy dress, HOWEVER: I.WANT.THOSE.SHOES.
Having someone purchase my art is flattering. But having my daughter ask for a drawing and then saying “I’m going to take it now before my sister asks for it” is a heart treasure that is far more valuable than all the money on earth.
A (tiny) picture paints a thousand grrs.
I have gmail. Within gmail I can chat with other gmail users that I know that are online (mostly Chuck). Within the chat there are smileys you can use. There are 4 types of smileys you can use but I like the square ones. They are animated. My favorite smiley is the angry smiley (there’s a contradiction for ya).
If you type in x-( it turns over and becomes a little red square with...

I removed several blogs from my RSS feed today because I realized that they all seemed to be blogging about blogging and how to blog and how to get people to read your blog and how to invite others to be a guest blogger on your blog and I realized there was no real content there other than blogging. Huh. And I have been reading this slog for like a month before I realize it was slog. I do not...

God has blessed me with the most beautiful girlfriends. I’m sooooo grateful.
If only everyone else could just NOT drive while I’m driving…
I seem to be having one of those days where I think all the jokes I make are incredibly funny but nobody else laughs. I’m not going to let this kill my buzz.
My computer is broke. How will I live? Oh wait. I’ll use Chuck’s.

I am beginning to think everyone on the internet is a life coach/professional blogger. I was thinking about quitting my job and blogging full time, but I think all the good blogging jobs have been taken by young hipster life coaches. *sigh*. If only I was a young hipster. Can one be an OLD hipster? Probably not. It would end up seeming desperate and kind of lame. Also, am I the only person who...

The word than is a conjunction or a preposition. (I would rather go with you than with her.) The word then is an adverb, adjective, or a noun. (I will go with you first, then I will go with her.)
