5 minute 5 {Exhausted}

You know the drill by now people; this is my five minute five random thoughts. Here is some of what happens to be on my mind right now (no judgment).

1. Aaron Hernandez you are an idiot and apparently a gangsta thug killer.  Points that come to mind include be smarter, why waste your talent and ruin your money, and thank God you went to FL.  I’m not surprised but in part I really am surprised. Epic Fail!!!!!!

2. I can’t watch the Trayvon Martin news coverage. I just can’t.

3. Nobody cares about Paula Deen losing sponsors except the people that don’t know any better. This apology tour she is going on is a bit of a train wreck I’m just tired of hearing about it. Furthermore, I hope it opens up some real dialogue about the institutional nature of racism and the very real challenges that exist because of ignorant mindsets…but this is America so I know that will not be the case. *Le Sigh*

4. Power Naps should be allowed at work. In fact they should be mandated. I am so tired right now I could probably fall asleep standing up. With all the painting, moving, arguing, cleaning, shopping, lunching and crafting I have been doing this week I’m a bit tired.

5. Water damage in my apartment again!!!!! 2 floors above me a couple move out, took their washing machine but left the water on…what happens next involves water dripping from my ceiling, me visiting the leasing office 2 times, making countless phone calls and having contractors assess damage.  I’m OVER YOU LENOX HILLS!!!!

Oh and this was on my mind also…

5 Minute 5 (Fun Friday)

I’m almost ready to kick off my weekend and thought it would be a great idea to share my 5 minute 5. My randomness knows no bounds!

1. Verizon, NO NO – I am still reeling from my disgruntled morning interactions with Verizon’s  buckhead store. This is the third time in 3 weeks I have had to call them about something they messed up with my recent phone purchase.  First they didn’t give me my rebate instructions, then they changed my bill plan in such a way that it put me over my minutes and charged me extra money, today it was my rebate denial because they didn’t provide me with the correct receipt.  I despise you  right now and as a loyal customer for over 10 years today was the first day I actually reconsidered that decision.  And NO I don’t want to buy a tablet from you!!!!!!
2. Hungry like the Wolf – a last minute meeting prevented me from making it to the cafeteria before they closed so I haven’t had lunch. A hungry LC is not a happy LC (in case anybody was wondering). I could eat a hamburger right now which is big since I sort of gave up beef.  Duran Duran, why is the wolf hungry? Shouldn’t he eat? Did he miss lunch because the pack needed additional information about something they already knew the answer too?
3. World War Z – I plan to see that. That is really all I have to say about it.
4. Operation Get Shit Done – projects really do make me happy but in light of the fact that the working world only gives me 3 day weekends on special holidays my time will be stretched thin this weekend. Painting, building, crafting, moving, movie watching (see #3) and visiting all crammed into 2 days. I’m going to need a weekend to recover from my weekend.  Whew !!!!
   
5. Social Twerking – yes I have seen the Stevie TV clip and yes I think it is hilarious. I have also been reminding those closest to me that I can quit my twerking at any time.  I only do it socially!!!!!!! MUAHHAHAHAHA J

  

Happy Friday!

Happy First Day of Summer!

Happy 5 Minute 5!

5 minute 5 {Holiday Approaches}

It just hit me that this is a long weekend  (civil servitude means holidays off)! The excitement level associated with the realization of this fact is very high.  I decided to share five things I am going to do over the course of the weekend.
 

1. Dinner party - dining with some of my favorites (some folks are actually celebrating birthdays and graduations (i.e. Nita, Kels, Megs)!
2. Shopping – yeah so I leave for vacation in 9 days and all I really have at this point is one bathing suit that kinda fits and a ton of sun dresses. I am not ready for tropical weather and I don’t have a book picked out for the plane. Gap we have a date on Memorial Day, try to have a sale!
3. Packing – did you read the part where I said vacation in 9 days?!
4. Sweating – summer is creeping in with a vengeance. IT is supposed to be in the 80s this holiday weekend every fan I own will be on overdrive. My AC isn’t allowed on until late June (I’m a frugal weirdo like that).
5. Grillin and Chillin – it is Memorial Day so I need to get my cook and relaxation on. There will be grillin, there will be chillin, there won’t be Bobby Flay (which makes me sad).

Happy Tuesday (aka 3 more days until this weekend can begin day )!!!!

5 minute 5 {Good News}

These are some random thoughts for the day and a quick recap of my week of greatness!!!!

1. Congrats to Marlene and Keith of their recent engagement. I am so excited I could burst! Equally exciting was the fact that we celebrated with Jamaican food!
2. More Good News -- Woke up to good news about a new job for my best friend. Congrats sweetie!!!! She is on the move and is coming to Florida. Not only is she closer but now I have a place to stay near the beach and a Florida resident to get me amusement park tickets! LC= 3, Life= 0
3. Scandal!!!!! It does it to me every 2-3 weeks (we need to talk about this schedule for real). Huck got his swirl on (and has a son), Olivia is back on her Love-Hate-Sex grind with Fitz, Mellie is still a thorn in the side of all that is right and holy; and this secret killing machine dead poets society is up to no good! Scandal you are the only show I watch in real time (no DVR for you, your too important to me).
4. I want to win something other than merit awards. I decided I really want to win a radio contest or the lottery. Something fun!! I was listening to a giveaway on my drive into work and decided it is time to try.  Show me the money!!!!
5. Twilight is this weekend and I’m going to Athens, after this baby shower on Saturday! I’m infusing some fun and beer into my weekend. It better not rain on my parade and I need to charge my camera battery!

                                                                                                                                                                                        

 Enjoy your Friday people (it is the only one you get this week)!

5 minute 5 {Random Quickie}

These are some random thoughts for the day in no particular order with no particular logic:

1.  Ratchet Monday has been reinstated and I am excited. It is a brief moment in time where I indulge in the guilty pleasure of terrible reality TV and reflect on how much better my life really is compared to the tomfoolery I see on TV. Thank you VH1 for the perspective, my wine is already in my hand!
2. I am a fan of this new format of sharing a few of my prominent thoughts in brief.  Flash Gordon move over you are being replaced by a bad ass, super speedy, typing machine (aka a computer). I am fighting evil with random thoughts!
3. If you want something done (not even just done right) sometimes you have to do it yourself!!!  Or so says my inner control freak.
4. Does Smart Water make me smarter? I secretly (well publicly now) believe it does. I also don’t care what people say, it does have a taste and it is better than all the other waters I drink.  I heart you Smart Water and if people want to gift it to me just because I support that!
5. How would our lives be different if Pinky and the Brain really did take over the world (it would probably ruin your day North Korea)? Genetically enhanced lab mice/ dictators probably don’t condone unapproved missile launches.  However, I suspect there would be a great deal of rioting in the streets and fighting over cheese rations; plus we would all be animated.  I really miss that show.

Have a great afternoon folks!  Special prayers to all the peeps recovering from health issues, injuries, and all things medically related. Get well soon and start your plot for World Domination!

A Pinky and the Brain Future!
