Happy Birthday Oregon!

Chained

I am blessed…yet I have a hard time smiling about it. It seems that everything wonderful has some dark side to it. The cliché “every rose has its thorn”, in all the paraphrasal nonsense that it presents, is the echo of my emotions.

Finding happiness and having my delicate triangle interrupted by another form of happiness is making everything seem like too much good is a bad thing.

My career is rewarding, social, important and exciting. Everyone my age that dreams of getting into the political world would fight for my job. Golden opportunities abound. I love my career and value it. It is just that during this time of year it is also so demanding that it keeps me second guessing when I can find time for the most important thing in my world; love.

The demands keep me here and yet his arms are calling out for me to run to him. I feel chained against a concrete wall just out of reach from the precious cup of life-saving water. I need him to be here and I need to be there with him. I want to break the chains on my desk preventing me from satisfying the burning desire to kiss him again.

This distance…is killing me.

I would give up my position, money, status, life…just to be his forever.

*grumble*

Someone lied when they told these two women that they had talent...

Britney:

You "ARE" a circus. That's the only reason people still follow you.

Beyonce:

Yeah, the only thing you "put a ring on" is within my ear drums.

Seriously folks...if we stop buying their albums...they might go away.

Clue

Me, in the office, with the pencil...

Seriously, what gives my coworker the right to disrupt my day by sharpening EVERY pencil we have in the office.

She's nuts!

Joyous

Sorry Blog…I haven’t written in a while.

The holiday season is something that I loathe each year, as you can tell from reading my previous blogs posts around this time of year. My allergy to Christmas trees is somehow magnified each year with extreme intensity and I take comfort in my conifer-free home. A cold front has ripped through the valley and I’ve been snowed in literally the last week. The “Ho-Ho-Ho’s” and off-key holiday music sung by 8-yr-olds makes my skin crawl across my bones. Don’t forget the millions of cards and newsletters that are sent by people. Everyone really should just go “paperless” and send their crap via the net. Maybe I’m just negative, but this so-called “joyous time of year” is anything but “joyous” imo. I’m just incredibly thankful that it is all over for another 365 days. Now that…is “joyous”!

At least I can say that I am looking forward to a new year and that I think that 2009 will be the best year I’ve had in a long time. I think after everything else I’ve earned it.

That's so Ellen!

Today we are confirming executive appointments in senate session and I'm sporting a navy blue/hot pink pinstrip suit, hot pink tacky 80's style earring and necklace, white camisole and of course...just like Ellen DeGeneres would...white sneakers. Go me! :D

For Rent

I'm not ready for this...someone tell me it that I'm going to be okay? Please?

Quack Attack!

His & Hers

Can't Sleep

I can't sleep.

Too many worries, thoughts, fears, wishes and questions plaguing me.
When will it all be clear?
