Friday March 17th--Happy Birthday to me!

1. There seems to be concern from an anonymous reader that I am wasting the Church's money by writing these every day.  In the spirit of love and sisterly concern, I would like to thank you for your feedback and assure that 1. My salary does not come from tithing dollars and 2. While I DO work for the LDS Church, we are still employees of a corporation who are not only entitled but required to take (2) 15 minute breaks and (1) 45-minute lunch.  I don't judge the friends who play solitaire on their breaks, I would rather not be judged for compiling passing points during mine. 

2. P5 has been on hiatus due to a migraine.  I learned many things from this happy experience: A. it is unethical for hospitals to give you morphine then ask if you want to write a check for your $75 copay.  B. Throwing up is bad enough without having said flying matter splash up in your face.

3. I think I'm gonna barf.

4. While I have no medical proof to back this up, I have convinced myself that all this was brought on by my kicking the Diet Coke habit.  Believing this to be truth, I have taken the stance that caffeine is a horrible, horrible thing.  The thought of drinking a D.C. right now makes me want to hurl.  (See #3)

5. I'm also convinced that Stephen King is one messed up dude.  I mean, a relatively normal friend could crank out one, maybe two crazy novels, but how many has he written?  Like a million?  Where does he get his inspiration?  They say you should write about what you know, which leads me to firmly NOT want to know him.

6. I realize it's a culture thing, but if I'm being honest (and those of you who know me well know that I am!) I have to say it sounds strange to me to hear an adult refer to his/her parents as "Mama" and "Daddy." I'm not passing judgement, I'm just saying it sounds strange to me.

7. Someone (who's birthday I completely forgot!) gave me a birthday card today. I really feel bad--it's one of those homemade ones that he SEWED around the edges.  Now that is some crazy work.

8. Just say yes to being, basically, a happy person.  What good does it do to live a bitter life?  Who wants to hang out with a fern whose glass is ALWAYS half empty?  Everyone has their days, but isn't it so much better to be positive?  I agree.

9. I think the French are misunderstood.  (I think a lot of people are, really, but give me a break, I'm already on number 9!) I've never met a group of people more loyal in my life.  Plus, they invented pain au chocolat, so in my heart they can do no wrong.

10. With the exception of the Ellen show, I hate daytime television.  (If you want to have some seriously crazy dreams, fall asleep during one of those judge shows! The other day, I dreamt people were dancing around like they were in a Burger King commerical with that scary king.) Anyhoo...all of the commericals seem to be geared towards accident victims ("one call, that's all!"), unemployed people and friends who need to write post-dated checks.  Are the demographics of friends watching TV during the day that sad?  Good grief.
