The moments when you start realizing that you're getting old are sad moments indeed. I know I still try to
trick people into thinking that I'm only 19, but I know that I don't have the same mentality as a normal 19 year old.
Things that normal 19 year olds do, drive me crazy sometimes. These were things I did myself when I was still in school,
around that age. But now I'm scoffing at the behavior. Maybe I've just been at this campus too long. I'm certainly not
the essence of maturity, particularly when I'm out and about in my social life. Guess it's just the hypocritcal, old fogey
woman speaking out in this rant.

It's really funny that I'm not more of a neat freak. Some people may disagree, but I find it amusing because
I can't stand to have my hands dirty. When I'm cooking, I will wash my hands like 5 times just to ensure that no ickiness
I may have picked up in the course of cooking as gotten into the food. But yet, sometimes I find myself standing on a
really dirty floor, and it doesn't bother me like it should. I don't know why I let things get so out of hand sometimes
with cleanliness. I don't like living in filth. And if I would just clean as I go, it wouldn't be so bad. But alas,
I'm a lazy bum sometimes and would just rather leave it for later. Perhaps soon I will get my domestic duties through
my thick skull.

Yes, it has been a few days since I posted. Want to know why? Because I got into a car accident last
Wednesday after work. It wasn't my fault. I'm a careful driver. The only other car accident I've been involved with
was last year, and I was a passenger for that one. I didn't get hurt...it was very minor. But my car is in the shop,
and I'm stuck with a rental. Scared the crap out of me though (not literally, of course). My leg was shaking so badly,
I could barely get out of my car. Thank goodness it wasn't my fault, and I don't have to pay for it. Other news is that
I went to a Microbrews of America party this weekend. It was fun. I got to try some beers I'd never had before, and it's
always fun hanging out with that wild and crazy group. Photos can be viewed via the group
website. I have also posted a
few that feature me on this site (if you're a regular, you know where to go).

Ok, mission accomplished. I finally got some event pics posted to the party site. I also put a couple
new ones on my Pic page, as well as putting a few of the group shots on my
Social page (which is now separated over multiple pages to account for new years in my social
life). Thank goodness that's done. The funny thing is that I like uploading pics and showing off the fun time that the
group has. And I like seeing what pics we got from the events. I guess it's just getting over the procrastination of
sitting at the computer to upload and lighten them. As long as it gets done though.

The Mean Green Party was a lot of fun. Photos can be seen on the 20/30
Something PARTY! Group page. To see a photo of my outfit, click here. We didn't know if
Meetup.com would like pics of pasties on their site. So, I had to post them here, which is fine by me. Anyway, no real
rants to speak of. I've been busy with event planning lately. The only rant I have is about the weather, and I'm not even
going to go there. So, I'll just keep event planning and recruiting worthy party people. Now, if I can just remember to
post the event pictures I have to share...

There's still so much left to do. The party is tonight. I still have to paint my fingernails green, get
prettied up, and make sure we can replicate my outfit the way that Cliff designed. Thank goodness Heather, Chris, and Karen
came over to the club last night to help get things decorated. I got the soda bread baked and the pickle sandwiches made.
The only other prep work I've got to do is slice the bread, set out the dips, and make the punch. I'm actually starting
to get excited about the party now. Hopefully, it will live up to the Naughty/Nice party. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.
Hope you remembered to wear your green, and if you didn't, I hope you learned your lesson from all the pinches.

There's only 3 days left until the party. I'm not nearly ready. I haven't made my costume/outfit. I
haven't cleaned up. I haven't gotten any decorations. I haven't done anything, really. I'm not looking forward to this
party like I was for the Naughty/Nice party. I'm hoping I'll get into it soon. Maybe it's just the lingering "getting over
my sickness" that's bringing me down. I hope so...

Nah nah nah nah nah...I get to see Jerry Seinfeld tonight, and you don't. Well, maybe you do. I don't know
who has tickets and who actually reads my blog. But tonight I get to see Jerry Seinfeld's stand-up act in person. I got
the tickets as a gift for Cliff. Hopefully, it won't be the same old material we see on all the reruns of the show.

Ok, who's the culprit? Who's the one who gave me this cold? Was it one of my co-workers? Or was it
one of my friends? I have serious chest congestion, and I'm a little feverish today. I had to miss work yesterday
because I felt so bad. I don't like being sick. So now all I want to do is whine. Whine, whine, whine. Ok, I'm over
the whining part now. Here are some issues I'm having at the moment. I can't focus on work. Whenever I try to focus,
I get sidetracked by something else. Of late, Meetup has been the primary source
of my attention. I don't know why I get on there so much. I spend a lot of time making suggestions to the Meetup
staff about how to improve the software. When I'm not making suggestions, I'm checking on all my groups to see if there
is new activity and to post any new event findings I know of to various message boards. When I'm not checking Meetup,
I spend some time on Myspace looking at the topics of the groups I'm on, scrolling
through the event listings, or reading my friends' bulletins. If they ever take away my internet privileges at work, I'll
go completely batty.

Why do the chip makers coat chips with greasy nastiness that sticks to your fingers while you eat them?
Do people really like that? I had some Cheetos today, which was a mistake because they made me feel kinda sick anyway.
But now there is also a little orange dye on my fingertips. It's like the chip makers thought it would be a good idea
to mark the people who indulge as if saying, "hey, look who's been eating junk food". I don't know why it bothers me
so much. It's just one of those things that I don't like about junk food.

Last night was a Mardi Gras event with the party group. I had a great time. And I'm pleased to announce
that my uninhibited ways secured me with the coveted (well, maybe by just me) Bead Whore award. I didn't get crowned
queen of Mardi Gras, but that's not really my style anyway. All in all, it was a fun event and put me back into party
mode. Now, if I can just get with it for planning the Mean Green Party...
