Most of you know that my blog is really just a rant and rave. I do not generally update about the goings on in my life. I can if you want to but I find the other option more of an interesting read.
Below I have a list of apologies that I have come up with recently. Some are through my own experience (work mainly)and others are what I see going on for others. Some are related to people who cannot think outside of themselves. I am even sure some of you can relate to these.
I apologize for getting married and not hanging out with you the next day.
I apologize for allowing a family death to interfere with what was going on in your life.
I apologize for allowing my own health to interfere with your party.
I apologize for family staying over at the house and invading your space and needing somewhere to stay while they watched a loved one die.
I apologize that you are unable to be upset and angry with the people you should really be upset and angry with and are taking it out on me.
I apologize for my insensitivity through life and hope one day I can only be half the person you are and move past things as quick as you can.
I apologize that it took me too long to RSVP to your birthday.
I apologize for being busy and forgetting to do things. I know it must be hard to remember everything that needs to be done and never forget anything. I admire this quality the most about you.
I apologize for being honest. Next time I will beat around the bush and lie about how I feel.
I apologize for getting laid off work and finding it impossible to buy you a gift and wanting to save the embarassment of showing up to a party without one.
I apologize for not being a mind reader and knowing when you need help and support. As well as not being able to read your mind and understand exactly why you are angry.
I apologize for not finding you a doctor to get you medication for your borderline personality disorder.
I apologize for not being there for you enough. I will make an effort to call, text, and email everyday so I do not miss an opportunity to be supportive to you or offer help.
I apologize for not getting over things and I promise not to bring up things that have already been dealt with and be mad about it all over again.
I apologize for wanting to mend a friendship of over ten years now and not in two months when it seem convenient to you. I will leave my
I apologize for not thinking about you all day long and realizing the world revolves around you.
I apologize for how screwed up your life is and take full responsibility for your actions that caused it to be the way it is.
Wow... I feel better now that I have apologized to everyone. :)

Living Past 100
For those of you who want to live past 100 years old, put your hand up. Me neither.
I was watching TV the other day and saw a clip for an upcoming Oprah show about defying age and living past 100. Apparently there is a diet that can help in this process.
My first thought/reaction to this was: why are people so afraid to let themselves age naturally? C'mon. Let your body do what it is supposed to do. This fountain of youth crap is dumb.

Most of this age defying life extension diet comes down to eating healthy. Wow, what a concept. Eating food that is good for you helps you live longer? I hope CNN is on top of this one. The other thing that these people do is calorie restriction. Honestly, I don't have the time to limit my caloric intake. I enjoy food and I enjoy eating good food. I'm not a hoarder when it comes to food and I eat what I know will be good for me. I drink Youth Juice to help me get my essential vitamins and nutrients everyday. Let's be honest, it is almost impossible to get all the servings of fruits and veggies you need in one day. I find I waste more than I actually consume. Since I started drinking the juice I have not been sick.
Aside from that, if I did make it to 100 years old I'd probably be moving slower than molasses in the winter or in a nursing home. Neither of which appeal to me in the least degree. I realized this morning that if I died tomorrow, I'd be okay with it. I'm sure I'd have a lot to answer to for when God judged me but I feel I lived a full life and am proud of my accoplishments. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to die tomorrow. I'd be happy to see retirement and travel a bit more.
I honestly try and live in such a way that if I did die tomorrow I would not have any regrets and feel good about the things I did for myself and others. I never want to walk away from life thinking "I wish I had ________."

I Love Technology
Technology is every where you go and every day that passes there is something newer, faster, smaller, better.
My husband and I have a PVR - like a Tivo. We, or rather I, LOVE it! We can record whatever shows we want and watch them whenver. I love being able to fast forward through commercials because then I'm really not up for another hour watching something... I'm up for maybe 40-45 minutes.
There are two problems I have encountered with having a PVR:
First, the purpose of PVR, for me, is to record something and watch it when I am able or to record two shows at once. I stay up later watching a show I know I can watch tomorrow. I know the show will still be there tomorrow but on some level I suffer from FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and need to know what happens right then. Somehow I justify staying up later by saying to myself that I would be staying up even later had I not recorded the show, at least I can ffwd through commercials. It's really stupid but that's what I do.
Second - I feel like I should be able to fast forward through everything and find myself looking for the fast forward button or actively thinking "I need to ffwd" before I realise not everything is capable of this. For example, the radio.
The other device I have that I absolutely love is my iTouch. I love the applications I can put on it and the fact that I don't need a button to push but I just touch the screen and it does what I want (for the most part). The problem is obvious. I touch screens other than my iTouch expecting the same outcome. My work cell phone doesn't even have a camera on it and I try to access settings by touching the small one inch screen. I have found myself at my computer making the motion to swipe or push an icon and then a voice says "hey moron, you can't do that..." Not yet anyway.

Phone Calls.
A friend recently posted something on their blog related to phone calls in the middle of the night and why they are completely unnecessary. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to certain things in my life such as, making sure the car is locked even though I heard it beep I will press it at least two more times. I also double check and triple check my call forward number just in case I am forwarding my phone to the wrong number.
This second OCD habit is what my post is about. Years back I was having a telephone conversation with my mom when I got another call on the other line. It was some person with the wrong number and I politely told them, sorry you have the wrong number. They apologized and I went back to my mom. A few minutes later I received another call. I went over to the other line and this time it was a guy asking for the same girl. I told them again they had the wrong number. I told them what number they were calling and hung up.
I return to my conversation to my mom which had now changed to the morons who can't dial a number correctly. I get another call. This time, I kid you not, it's the operator. These people called the friggin' operator to make sure I had the right number. it was then that I suggested, "hmm, maybe their 'friend' forwarded their phone to the wrong number." I again told the operator my phone number. I went back to my mom and continued our conversation only to get another call on the other line. This time it was the 'owner' of the phone number calling. She told me she forwarded her phone accidentally to mine... "no kidding". She then asked me if I could tell her who called... almost like asking if she had any messages. I'm thinking "are you kidding me?" I told her I didn't know. She then asked what the guy sounded like. There are no words...

Blog Title
My attempt to drum up some ideas for a blog title sort of flopped. I was hoping for something unique and somewhat crazy. I opted out of calling it something related to my last name because I work for child welfare and there are a lot of crazies out there and I'd prefer not to be that accessible on the internet.
Anyway, so my new blog title will be (drum roll please)... something uneventful and unexciting...
My Antics. I just came up with it now. Enjoy it.

Blog title
So I am in need of a new blog title. I didn't like my last one and would like something catchy, funny, witty, etc... I need your help.
Please, comment and provide the best one you can come up. I will then post a new blog and have people vote. the one with the most votes wins. Any titles that are demeaning, derogatory, or offensive in any way, will not be included (you never know).
