January 4th, 2008
First off, I am blown away and so appreciative that people are actually reading my blog, and, bonus, commenting. I feel cool, wanted, interesting, all the things I never felt in junior high. I wonder if I should respond to your inquiries here or in the posts where the questions have been posed? As I didn’t think, outside of say two or so, that anyone would be compelled to join me, little me, on my 365 blog journey. To Sobe, yes, the coffee maker was just out of sorts, something with its programming. My very handy man husband (Mike, as I refer to him) fixed it by unplugging it and plugging it back in; a quick fix that obviously eluded me at 6 o’ clock in the morning. And to Erikka, yes, I remember you (!), the jean wall is this massive 16 foot section of wall space at my “job” which houses all of our selections of said denim blue jeans (dungarees, as my Dad would call them). To nancypearlwannabe, yes, I am really going to do this. And again, to Sobe, I’m really not sure how one would regulate.
I guess I never really took the time to introduce myself properly. Like I said before, I thought this would be me just typing into the dark here. I am surprised at the outpouring of generosity, curiosity and attention. I humbly thank you for joining me on my quest for 365 blogs and welcome you here.
I’m 32, married, keeper of cats, disgruntled retail manager (show me a retail manager who isn’t), desert resider, crafter, jeweler, collector, TV viewer, sci-fi fan, lover of all things cheese, chocolate and wine. I love stilettoheights and all that she does and is. I’ve known Aaron, of Funky Carter, since ‘93. And I’m usually the caboose commenter of blogs since I’m in the west. I’m originally from Derry, NH but I hate the snow so that is why I live among the cacti.
There is probably so much more and like the proverbial onion we’ll get through the layers together. I just wanted to say thanks and I plan on cropping up on your blogs too. My time is divided between things I must do: work, things I want to do: create for my Etsy shop and things that just have to get done but I don’t really want to do but I’ve put them off so long they are giving me anxiety: tidying up/paying bills/finding a new job, so don’t be sad if I am delayed in reading or commenting, as soon as I find the eighth day of the week I’ll drop on by your blogging doorstep.

I woke up with that line running around my head.
My coffee maker broke this morning… is that how we’re doing this then? Is this how this 3rd day of January, of my glorious new year is going to begin…?
We shall see.
Typical day, sales are failing so we’re over on payroll. I swear, I figured out what I’m going to do when I finally snap, I’m going to set the jean wall on fire and probably punch someone in the face.
Tara’s Lasagna for dinner tonight. It’s a recipe I’ll take to my grave unless of course I actually get around to having children, then and only maybe then if they turn out not to be complete disasters.
Is it Monday?
I have a feeling I’m going to have many posts that follow this format… bear with me. Maybe we’ll make this a theme day, like “Bullet Thursday” or “Odd Random Stuff Day”. I don’t think I’ve been blogging long enough to have theme days. Just a thought.

Why is it all of these odd discoveries are always made in places like Sweden? Didn’t Sweden produce ABBA and Ace of Base?
Anyhow.
Drinking coffee is supposed to shrink your breasts. Hhhmmm. I’m going to go with no on this one. Granted I have cut down tremendously on my caffeine intake over the years, and most if not all of my caffeine intake consists of coffee. And there is the weight gain after quitting smoking… yeah, still using that one as “the excuse”… but in reality the girls have never really been small. I think when I went through the tumultuous change at age 13 I went to bed with bug bites and woke up with watermelons. Yeah, it’s the best I got.
So, I saw nay to this silly theory. I’m a 36DD and I keep most of Starbucks in southern Arizona running smoothly.
*Because of this post, I’ve decided that I need a category just for “boobs”.
