Random thoughts from 25-35 year olds
- I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter?
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
-That's enough, Nickelback.
-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?
-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.
-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.
-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
- LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.
- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?
- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and i nstinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
- Bad decisions make good stories
-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!
- Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.
-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.
-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?
- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
-When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking.
-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...
-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
-It really pisses me off when I want to read a story on CNN.com and the link takes me to a video instead of text.
-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

Dear ________,
Dear friends that I don't see at least once a week,
Please don't put music on your blog. It makes my hot mess of a computer crash when all I really want is to catch up on your life because I don't have your phone number. Also, I miss you and love where your lives are.
Dear friends I saw last night,
Thanks you so much for the dinner and laughs. I appreciate you filling in the blanks and the opportunity to spend time together outside of our regular spot. This is something that needs to continue. I hope you know how much I appreciate you and the relationship that has grown between us.
Dear Mom,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I wish we could have spent the day together. I love you and appreciate your patience and kindness and am so grateful to have you as my mother.
Dear sister,
Next year, I promise to sing the opera birthday song at least twice. I wish I knew my little niece better, but I swear the next time we are in Vegas, I am coming to see you and spend time with your beautiful family. You have everything I have ever wanted and I am so grateful for the relationship we have as adults, considering where we were at many years ago.
Dear boyfriend,
Thank you for all you do and thank you for being in my life. I am a much better person because of you and I don't go a day without thinking of you, talking with you and laughing with you. I am so blessed and I love your stinking guts.
Dear Rosko,
Please stop eating my underwear, twigs and the carpet. I love you, but not enough to clean up what you regurgitate. You are way too expensive but way worth it when you cuddle up to us when we sleep.
Dear guy I bought my light from at the car parts store,
Hi. I'm hot, I'm tall and I'm blonde. You couldn't take 10 minutes to help me do something I obviously had no idea about?
Dear universe,
Please send me a job soon or I may go crazy. Also, a million dollars would helpful.
Love,
Karly

A week and a smidge left
This is not quite the view from Tyler's hotel room in Costa Rica, but hopefully he'll get a chance to experience this soon. He's been in the country for work for a little over a week so far and it's going well. Because there are quite a bit of robberies and crime, he employed a personal driver and bodyguard. The safety feature is key but I think it also makes him feels like a little bit like a VIP. Which, of course, he is.
I know its been awhile since I've had any updates, but things are pretty level, except for the international trip. I lost my job at the end of April and am still looking. The job market is pretty bleak, although there are a couple of leads I'm working on. The dog hasn't had any serious vet visits either so that's been a relief. We've got some exciting things coming up this summer, so hopefully I'll be posting more often!

Twig and Berries
Just a quick update- Rosko recently got neutered and I was informed by the vet that they found two tumors while doing the surgery. They have sent the masses out for a biopsy, and we should know the outcome in about a week. Because his berries hadn't dropped, the vet had to go in through his abdomen, like a spay and he now has to wear an inflatable collar that looks like a doughnut for about two weeks. Rosko's behavior is back to normal, thankfully, and hopefully we won't have any terrible news in a week.
We have two weddings coming up in May, which starts the beginning of the busy social season. Summer is slowly getting booked up which is both good and bad. I just wish I could say no once in awhile, but all the events sound too good to pass up.
Over the last weekend, I had calls from two extended family members that I haven't talked to in a very long time. I haven't had communication from one cousin for at least 10 years! I'm kicking myself for not checking my voicemail, because he was in the San Francisco area and wanted to get together. It makes me feel really grateful for family and people that you can call after many years and it feels like you just talked to them yesterday.
My brain is a little fried after a day of non-stop calling at work. Maybe next time I'll have something clever to say.

Putting things in perspective
I just found some sad news about one of my sister's best friends. Although I haven't seen her friend in many, many years, she was around quite a bit when we were growing up and was almost like another little sister. I really feel for her and her husband. They are so lucky to have the strong support of friends and family and a belief system that gives them hope. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Would you rather...
Would you rather go to brunch at Scott's over Easter or 
go to the A's opening game vs the Mariners?
go to the A's opening game vs the Mariners? For some reason, this is a really tough decision for me.
Help!

Going dutch
Ugh. I had a horrible day yesterday and decided it would be a good idea to walk into a cheap salon and get my hair cut. I know look like a cross between these two, minus the bangs. And yes, it does look exactly like a bad wig. I feel like I need to go stick my finger in a dam. I will not be leaving the house, minus going to work and errands, for at least two weeks.

Merry Belated Christmas!
This past weekend I finally got around to mailing Christmas gifts to my sister and her family. I am such a procrastinator! Fortunately, they seemed like everything that I sent. Included was a little alligator that when you add it to water, it triples in size. You can see the picture of Noah below waiting for it to get bigger. That kid is such a cutie. I wish we lived closer to them so that I could spoil them even more.

Domestic Dork
I had a dream last night that i was involved in some sort of contest and I won! My prize was a stack of paper plates. I was really excited about winning these paper goods. I'm a little scared that I am slowly, but surely,becoming domesticated (and kind of enjoying it).
Some examples:
Some examples:
- I own multiple aprons
- Purchasing my first cake stand was really spectacular
- The decision on which vacuum to buy took 1.5 hrs
- I'd rather stay at home with the dog and bf than go out
- I'm really looking forward to having a bridal shower in the future
- Research on juicers is enjoyable
- I wish I would have chosen the KitchenAid as my birthday gift
- I've bookmarked cooking websites
- My garden has already been planned out and we don't even have a backyard yet
Also, I've discovered that I'm a giant nerd. The new movie, Watchmen, looks really interesting but it's hard to get a general storyline from the previews. I've borrowed the book from my friend and on Sunday, stayed up until almost one o'clock reading it. I'm a little ashamed of myself but according to Tyler, I'm a geek's fantasy.

In passing
My sweet grandma Kari recently passed away. Fortunately, I was able to make it home for the funeral to celebrate her life. She was originally from Norway and carried over so many traditions that my family still celebrates. Although I haven't been close with her over the past couple of years due to various reasons, she will truly be missed. Thanks to everyone for their kind words over these past few days as well.

Chit chat
With Tuesday almost done with and the fact that I haven't achieved much today, I guess I will blog. It's been awhile but to be honest, there hasn't been much going on. The dog is getting huge and a little out of control. He's now humping things, specifically a stuffed corgi and some pillows. Tyler wants to breed him because he's so bad ass, but with so many unwanted animals out there, I really don't think it's responsible. Plus, I couldn't handle him taking advantage of legs when we have people over since our friends are so hot. I think he'd turn into a puppywhore.
Tyler is headed out to Utah again which means I turn into a hermit. I haven't purposely become antisocial; sometimes I would rather chill at home with my dog than go out. Its also a little tough for me to go out by myself because I sometimes feel like i'm still a newbie.
Here's a picture of me punching Rob in the face
Fondue Freds
Paula's birthday crawl in Rockridge
And finally, my ginourmous pup
(No, he's not humping this pillow)
