things i do not like #18.

you know when you pack a banana for your breakfast in your lunch bag and then decide not to eat? and then when you go to eat your honey dijon kettle chips later, they taste like banana honey dijon chips?

i do not like that. chips should not taste like banana.

the meme.

okay... i don't normally do these, but i'm always open to new things. that's actually a lie. i'm not really open to new things. but it sounds good, right?

jen tagged me to do this... a meme. not sure what a meme is, but i'm going with it anyway. just because i like her! ;)

the apparent rules:
each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. people who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. you need to choose seven people to tag and list their names. don't forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. today, i'm wearing a blue shirt. two of them, in fact.

2. in junior high, my best friend was a girl named sara miller. i wish that i knew where she was now... and i don't think i'll ever find out.

3. i love to make my own bread. without a machine.

4. i wish i were in a place where i could smell the rain right now.

5. jane austen is my favorite author.

6. the dahlias were my favorite, but they're too time-intensive, so i had to let them die.

7. i love pom pomegranate peach passion white tea.


let's see... who's next?

patrick... he's been rather absent in blogworld as well.
johnny... because the man just isn't busy enough. ;)
erin... just because i like her!
steven... because i'm hoping he still reads this... !
julia... just trying to help her get back in the game as well.
kim... she's quite clever and certain to come up with good stuff.
and last but certainly not least... kristin. because she needs to start a blog.

i'm an idiot.

today, i went to the bank. i made a deposit. and while this may seem like a fairly minor thing, it's actually an act worthy of clapping. or some shaking of the head. so go ahead. shake your head.

i should have gone to the bank two weeks ago. when i first started collecting checks in my purse. but i didn't. i'd get in my car after work, turn up the music, put my hands on the wheel and drive. and stop thinking. knowing that i was only going home and i'd have to start working again, i used my commute as my downtime. and every day, i drove right by the bank. and forgot to deposit the checks.

i kept getting checks, too. and the back of my mind had this really terrible idea that made no sense at all... wow. i keep getting more checks, the longer i wait to deposit these. maybe i'll keep getting checks if i don't ever make it to the bank. like i said. dumb. this type of thinking is the result of someone not getting much sleep since october. and that someone is me. so i have lots of really dumb thoughts these days.

monday, i overdrafted. this is why i am an idiot. i have the money. it's not like times are so hard and i'm not sure where my next meal is going to come from. i do.

from one of those checks sitting in my dumb purse.

and so, i passed my pennies worth of paper over to the teller this afternoon and she turned it into roughly $1500. it's really a good deal.

i should try it more often.

things you missed while i wasn't blogging.

so i've been on a break. kind of like a ross and rachel thing, but really not. more of an out-of-the-habit thing. and a life-got-really-busy thing. i wrote a bit, but i didn't get around to posting anything. so while stories of snowy mornings and early spring may seem out of place in this green, green spring, i post them anyway. enjoy!
