I'm in a right snit as my British better half would say.
Absolutely Bananas went and took away my Monday fun stuff. Just like that. Says she's suspending it. Ya know, there's been a whole lotta that goin' on lately. First Romney suspends his campaign and then Clinton suspends hers and now AB is suspending MMLM. Oiy! Ok ok, I suppose the bunch in my panties could have a teensy weensy bit to do with the fact that MMLM was a huge traffic driver to Casa Barking Mad. But to be honest, I've been trying to reach out of my comfort zone and get to know some of my other favourite bloggers and whaddayaknow, they've been visiting me! ME! Can you believe it! I'm gobsmacked.
In all seriousness, I understand why AB suspended MMLM. And it really is up to me to pull up my big girl panties and go out and make friends on my own and not have someone else hold my hand.
Anyhow, Monday's can be sort of tough can't they? It always seems like there's never enough caffeine to get you over the weekend and through the start of the week. So I had this little thought. Yes m'dears, most of them are indeed little. Anything bigger than a little thought would be too taxing for the hamsters that power the wheel for the locomotion upstairs. So I have to keep my thoughts manageable, which means little.
Where was I?
Oh yeah, that thought....I am thinking about starting my own Monday "thing."
Now, because Monday's are typically so disjointed anyways, I thought I'd keep it loose and free and pick a theme each week, keeping in mind, nothing too taxing (who knows, there may be others out there, who like me, are running on limited steam, upstairs!) and because I have about a million things running through my head right now, today's theme is Random Thoughts. It seems like I'm not the only one who is down with the randomness....the Little Imp's future Mother-in-Law is all about the randomness. Well she was the other day.
So here, for my inaugural Monday Madness post, are my Random Thoughts.....
- Comment Constipation - I seem to be totally and completely unable to leave comments for other bloggers whose work I admire and appreciate and I'm trying to decide if it's because I feel as if I have nothing genuinely worthwhile to say or that my comments will get lost amongst the myriad other comments on their posts. I want to be genuine, but I also want to make sure I'm leaving a comment that doesn't sound like every other comment there and it's not left out of a selfish desire to see said author come and visit me and leave a comment.
- Vampires - I like 'em. I love me a good vampire book. Always have...since I was about 8 years old. Love vampire movies too. Just not the cheesy over-the-top ones. But I've been wondering, would it be so bad to be a vampire? Oh sure, there's that little niggling issue with the eternal damnation thing, and the total avoidance of sunlight, and I'm not too sure I'd be down with drinking blood either...but the rest of it seems like a pretty nifty concept. And I'm already pale as the undead. Bring on the fangs!
- MySpace and Facebook - Why? What's the point? And the bigger question is why do I have accounts (mostly neglected) on both services?
- 16,000 - That is the number of text messages my 18 year old daughter sent in the last month. SIXTEEN THOUSAND!!!!!!! That's roughly 533 messages a day. At the rate she's going, I will be surprised if she, or any of her friends can verbalize simple sentences in five years time. Thank goodness we have unlimited texting on our cell phone plan.
- Ground Beef - it's kinda gross if you think about it.
- Oprah Winfrey - I had a dream the other night that she was the Anti-Christ. Seriously dudes. She was freaking scary as hell....all Grrrrrr and Arrrrrggggggg. She had fangs and her eyes were red and she had hooves. I'm never going to be able to watch her show (not that I do anyhow) again without cringing.
- WordPress - I really REALLY want to move the blog over to WordPress. I'm about up to my tatas in frustration with TypePad right now. Alas, I know nothing about CSS and how to make all the cool stuff I see that is possible with WordPress, work. So I was supposed to go to Borders tonight and get one of those idiot books about CSS. I did in fact go to Borders, it's just that I came home with another vampire book (Oh and what's bad about this one is that its mostly for teens! But I got sucked into the series, oh well!) and some other books. Not one of them was CSS for Idiots. Oops.
- Twitter - I totally and completely blame MommyPie for this one. She had a recent post about it. So I remembered that I had a twitter account, and by golly started tweeting away. Yeah, it's a huge timesuck but I'm addicted! So um, does this make me a New Media Douchebag? And don't ANYONE suggest Plurk to me. I've got it and I don't get it. I don't have any more time to waste as it is. It's bad enough that I'm already teaching the Little Imp to do the laundry and attaching microfiber clothes to the cats and dog's legs in an attempt to get them to mop the floors all in an effort to allow me time to catch up on all the blogs in my reader!
So there you have it, my random thoughts for Monday Madness. Hey, I didn't promise they were interesting, I just said they'd be random.
