Unconscious Mutterings 311:
I’m hoping this week won’t be so bad. For one thing, I’m getting taken off the phones every other week for a while. I’m really hoping it starts this week. I’ve just about had it with this company. I don’t know how they stay in business.
On a more positive note, the snow has finally melted completely away! And it raining! We even had a rain storm recently. My coworkers looked askance at me when I kept coming back from my breaks all wet and I’d explain enthusiastically that I’d been running around in the rain. What can I say? I hate snow. I LOVE rain!
My Systers of the Grand Cauldron of Mischief did make their yearly snowslide. Apparently, it got up to 10 feet high this time!! At one part, it’s higher than their roof. Yeah, um, I’ll pass again on trying their slide. Maybe next year… *ahem*

This after we just had a snow storm and were expecting another weekend (which came). And I seriously needed rest. I mean, geez! I’m already going over there on Tuesday for the Chanukkah party!
Still, Tigger is one of the people whose birthday I couldn’t miss. So, I went.
We ate white/chocolate chip challah, watched Hancock and did some dancing. Of course, being with this crowd, I really enjoyed myself. Except when Samson and Le Bullfrog ganged up on me, picking me up and tossing me back and forth to each other. They just better be glad they didn’t drop me…I would have mauled them! 
Without going into any further detail, I love my crazy, retarded friends! And BOO to the snow!

Anyway, with my Prince actually shipping out in a matter of days, I’ll be working feverishly to keep myself occupied and avoid lonesomeness. Small wonder that my dance itch has returned, my vocal practice has resumed, and my obsessive/compulsive writing goes with me everywhere except the bathroom (and even there, I’m still working on it in my head).
Of course, I have other things to keep me busy as well. I plan on becoming a Jew through and through. My Prince is actually quite orthodox and if our relationship is going to continue, I’ll have to cease with my lazy observance of Judaism. So, I have a lot of stuff to study while he’s gone. Fortunately, I find the structure of Judaism comforting…and magical as well. I really do love it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t work with my Prince. I’m the type of girl who has a million rules regarding who I’ll fall in love with and even more rules for who I’ll marry. Seriously, I was pretty sure I’d never find someone up to my standards–especially not in the U.S. (no offense, guys). So, yeah, I consider myself the luckiest lady in the world to have found my Prince. My soulmate.
Ok, that’s all for tonight. I’m going to bed and listen to New Moon.

Unconscious Mutterings week 292:
Anyway, after that, we were still kind of wet, so I insisted on stopping at a nearby restaurant for some piping hot coffee and a warm meal. We both felt better, but at that point it was getting dark. We made calls to our friends but no one was available to hang out with–no one who could pick us up, that is. So we sauntered home to change into totally DRY clothes and relax for the rest of the evening. He had to get back to the base today, though, because he has a couple of reports that have to be done by Tuesday. At least I got to see him. Those weeks without him were torture.
Anywhoo…I’ve got things to do! Have a good Labor Day!

Unconscious Mutterings, week 283:
1. What are your plans for today? I need to get ready for the week. I start my new job on Tuesday!!
2. Who was the last person you talked on the phone with? Imah.
3. What was the last tv program you watched? I watched a recording of Burn Notice. Jeffrey Donovan is awesome!
4. What was the last thing you ate? Oven baked pizza. A surprisingly delectable one!
5. What time did you get out of bed today? Around 9am.
Ugh. It’s so hot today! I’m so grateful for cool, refreshing water and sugarless, coffee-flavored ice cream! 
My Prince came over this weekend and we had a Dune movie marathon. We almost finished it, too, but we had to drive him down to the bus station. That’s ok. I know what happens to poor Alia. I know what course of destiny Leto chooses for himself. The movie was actually very good. It didn’t follow the books, naturally–there’s just so much to cover–but it did a good job.
Now, I must prepare for the week. Tomorrow is my last day off before I start my new job. I’ll be sure to chronicle my complaints next Sunday. LOL!
Farewell!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward hoping to seeing my Prince, tomorrow my plans include getting briefed by an “insider” on my new job and Sunday, I want to welcome my Evil Twin back from camp!
Yesterday was quite an adventure. I took a short walk to get my nails done (gold again) and, seeing I had plenty of time before the next bus came by, walked back home and had lunch. I took the bus to Walmart for the first time–only to discover that, though the bus passes right by the store, it doesn’t actually stop anywhere near there. Great. Well, I got my exercise for the day walking back to the store. Good thing it was a nice (but not too hot) day.
Met Imah there while I was shopping. She offered to take me home to drop off my stuff and then swing me over to my appointed visit with my Systers of the Grand Cauldron of Mischief (as my Prince calls my Girls).
Once with my other family, I got suckered into watching Johnny English by the boys. Gag me! What a horrible movie. And the villian! I have never heard a worse French accent. He totally butchered it!
Well, I must go. Imah is on her way home, and she wants me to help her out with some stuff. Farewell for now!

When was the last time you had a really bad week? Uh, that would be this week. Today and yesterday were hellish. I almost walked off the job today, but knew I was too sick and emotionally distraught to make such a drastic decision.

3. Name five people who have strongly influenced your life, both good and bad,… not counting family! JP and Dennis Prager - for the good. Two former religious teachers - for the bad (although, looking at it from a positive standpoint, they made me see that EVERY group has it’s bad apples and not to trust someone just because they’re "religious"). Last but not least, my Prince - for the WONDERFUL.
4. Name five things you have accomplished that you are proud of, big or small! My first novel. 50+ sit ups. Touching the floor with my knees–over my head. Learning the alphabet before age 2. Uh…I’m struggling here…reading a 200+ word novel in one sitting.
5. Name five things you still want to do in your life. Become a published authoress. The splits (I’m SO close!!). Travel the world. Earn a doctorate (in something!). Get married.

It’s so nice to be doing memes again. Now that my weekends are free, I’ll doing this regularly–if only once a week.
It was so nice spending yesterday with My Prince. We hung out for a while at a coffee shop (mm–white mocha!) and then walked (in the rain) for about 45 min (hey, rain exhilarates me). to the movie theather where we watched The Forbidden Kingdom. It was awesome!!! I want it when it comes out on DVD. The Prince liked it, too. Then, since we needed to kill some time, we waited to watch Iron Man. That was when we met C4 and her man coming out from just seeing–guess…–Iron Man! My Prince had wanted to see that one, as well, so they convinced me it was worth watching. After buying tickets, we were taken out for a quick lunch by C4 and her man and then dropped back off at the theater. Iron Man wasn’t as bad as I had expected. (I’m terribly suspicious of movies that get lots of hype in the media).
Following the movie, we went over to my Sisters of the Grand Cauldron of Mischief. Yay! They finally met my Prince! And they got along SO well! Actually, it kind of scares me how well they got along. They actually teamed up to tease me at one point. Don’t those girls realize I know where they sleep?
Well, that’s all for now. Enjoy the memes below. I’m going to eat some of that deliciousness my Prince cooked for me.
Unconscious Mutterings, Week 275:
1. what is your favorite time of the day? Anytime I am with my Prince.
2. who is your hero? My Prince comes the closest.
3. what is your favorite television program? NCIS.
4. do you have a hobby? Writing or reading, mostly. All I have time for anymore.
5. how long have you been blogging? Off and on for a few years.
6. what is your dream job? Don’t really have one. If I could live off the novels I write, that would be ideal.
7. what is your favorite place to buy clothes? Wherever they’re not outrageously priced.
8. do you have any bad habits? I pick at my nails and often leave my clothes laying around.
9. do you feel younger or older than your current age? Younger.
10. what is your dream vacation? Wherever my Prince would take me (he is well-traveled and has excellent taste).

What was your first “real” job? Tutoring kids during the summer. I was paid $20-50 a day.
Soup
Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity? I’d go to my bedroom and crank up the music (the question is: Do I feel like Andrew Lloyd Weber or Queen? I told you I have a broad taste in music).
Salad
Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when…I do something that makes me look stupid. Then, I laugh.
Main Course
What values did your parents instill in you? Respect your elders, wash your hands often, boys are DANGEROUS. LOL!
Dessert
Name 3 fads from your teenage years. I wasn’t really into fads when I was a teen. The few times I was interested in one, Imah nipped it in the bud. Now, however, I am into fashion arm warmers (especially fishnet), princess stuff, and my camera phone (those are kind of faddish).
Friday5: So Why Don’t You Slide?
1. The things I give thanks for this Thanksgiving are family and food. What could be better? 
2. My Thanksgiving traditions include visiting with the family I rarely see, making the cooks feel their food is superior to any famous chef, watching the family play Pit (from a safe distance–maybe with some headphones on).
3. The best part about Thanksgiving is the food.
4. My favorite Thanksgiving food is: oh dear, I can’t answer that! It’s all so good!!
5. Wearing the gravy was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me on Thanksgiving.
6. After the meal, I sprawl in front of the TV. When I’m done eating, I can’t move too much.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to bed, tomorrow my plans include waiting for my special package and Sunday, I want to prepare the welcome-back gift for My Evil Twin!
Well, this has been an interesting week. I think my impatience for a certain gift is taking its toll on me. The beginning of this week, I was cheery, chipper, perky, irrepressible. Yesterday and today, nothing can go right. I couldn’t be more accident prone if I was doing it on purpose! Plus, yesterday, I had several crabby customers. It was probably because it was raining cats and dogs, but geez, don’t take it out on me! I nearly cried but instead ground my teeth together. You’ll not see my tears, you crabs!
Now (having decorated the kitchen with raw egg in my pitiful attempt to make breakfast), I fear today will be very much the same. At least I haven’t fallen down the stairs…a second time.
Shalom and Happy Thanksgiving!
