Pollen Sucks

Achoo!
That was me like 346 times today. Ugh!
I asked Dakota's TaeKwonDo Master today what size board he is supposed to break, so maybe I can go get some boards cut and he can practice. He said 3/8 of an inch, but because Dakota has a lot of 'power' he might up it. Shite, why did I say anything? It's super Dakota! Whoosh!
Achoo!
347.
So, I have been waking up with my ears plugged up, my sinuses feeling like they are exploding and I've been sneezing everywhere. A lot of times I can hear myself talking inside my own head...no I'm not schizo, I think you know what I am talking about. It annoys me. I hope I don't sound that weird to everyone else. I'm not even sick. So when is it going to end? Hopefully in the summer when it rains everyday and the crap gets washed away.
I am down to about 2 months left to quit smoking. Any tips? I have till August 8th, so if you think of or hear of anything, I don't care what, let me know!
The Set Up client came in today. She had the average lifespan dog with her. She saw me and said hello, I said Hi back and ran away. No more set ups for me!
The scrubs I wore today were a bit hit...lol. Anyhow everyone liked 'em so whee!
I feel like I am doing the update on the top ten stories of the year, but they are not top stories, and it was only a few days, and there's not ten, so maybe not so much after all. Hmm.
Have you ever gotten lost in Wikipedia? I have done that twice in the last week. I go to look something up, and there is all that linkage inside the pertinent information page, so I click it, and go to the next one, and see something else. Click click click. Eventually I am so far from what I originally looked up, I just hit the back button till I get back there. I didn't see Kevin Bacon on any of them.
Anyhow, it's pretty obvious to me and I am sure you, that I had nothing to say today, but I still wanted to write all about it. To all my adoring fans (ie: my 5 subscribers), thanks for being there! :)
Oh yeah, my car doesn't smell skunky anymore. Woot!
P.S. I forgot about the tradition when I have nothing to say today gets you an old story, so I'll give you a little shorty. You guys are going to know the whole life story of Jenn soon.
Before I found out I was afraid of heights, I used to jump off everything. Everything. The roof, the top of my tree house, the highest diving board etc etc. I did the typical jump off the roof with an umbrella thing, and I'm sure you know how that worked out. Damn that Mary Poppins!
One day, I dragged the little plastic kiddie pool over to the tree house and filled it up with dish soap and water, so it was all frothy and bubbly. See, I jumped out of the tree house and when I landed it kind of hurt my feet a bit, gave me a little stingy feeling. So, I figured jumping into a regular pool didn't really hurt, and bubbles were soft and fluffy, so those should help right? Right! Gotta try it!
I climbed up to the very top of the tree house, higher than ever before. I looked down at that foot deep kiddie pool full of bubbly water, felt a moment of exhilaration before flinging myself through the air, and jumped for it. But I didn't prepare to land on my feet. Oh no, I was just going to jump in and land on my tush in all those soft bubbles. A few seconds later I made splash down, right on my butt. That's when I found out those bubbles and foot of water didn't do jack shit for me. As I was gasping for the air that got knocked out of me, and trying not to drown in frothy bubbles while I was getting my injured tailbone off the ground, I told myself, never again.
And I didn't. For at least a week. After that though, I always planned to land on my feet, no matter what was under me to land on!
See, there's always a moral to Jenn stories. Isn't that great?

Funky Musky

My car smells funny. I think some big hairy man rubbed his pits all over my engine. Whenever I turn on the AC it smells like a skunk scratch and sniff sticker. I hope that goes away soon. Also, I hope that doesn't mean something else is wrong. I hope there isn't a skunk in my engine, that sprayed his last funky musky when I flipped that ignition switch and blew him to smithereens. It's been so hot here lately though, it would probably smell corpse like too. I'm afraid to check though!
I noticed when I get less sleep, I write less blog. I think I need at least 5-6 hours to make those creative juices flow. I'm on 4 right now, but it's Friday, so I can make it!
I have been thinking a lot lately of getting back out of Florida. Or maybe just out of Tampa. I'm really not sure, but the big city-ness is getting to me. People are annoying here, which I covered on another blog, so I won't go too much into that business. Anyhow, I have been thinking of Boone a lot lately. The pleasant folks, the slower way of life, the beauty of the area in general. But can I handle all that quiet? With all those nice people, I wouldn't have anything to biatch about either. Anyhow, just thinking about it. Oh yeah, and so are my Dad and sister apparently. In the future of course...but that would be interesting.
I think it was going to the sugar festival at dad's house. His neighborhood is always just so nice and relaxing. All the neighbors chat to each other, and visit, and are just friendly. It reminds me a lot of Boone, only more hot with more bugs.
We have a spudload of family coming in next weekend. As you know, it is Dakota's testing, so Dad, Gingeypants, Bob's Mom and Step dad are all coming into town to see him. It's his first belt promotion test, and with a famous Tae Kwon Do Grandmaster, so I am sure (I hope) it's just a one time thing. Maybe when he gets black-belt they will all come again, who knows? I have to say, those kids are so impressive. Any one of them could kick my ass around the block any day I am sure.
I finally broke down and purchased some scrubs for work wear. All the 'work clothes' I got 3 years ago are so....3 years ago. :p Anyhow, it's way cheaper to get 4 sets of scrubs then 4 new pairs of jeans and work safe shirts. My boss was supposed to be buying the staff some stuff to wear, but hey, I can't wait forever eh?
Right. Well, I am going to go get some coffee, and get ready for the weekend! Woohoo, I am SO happy it is here.
Love, snuggles, slobbery smoochies and big hugs.
Bu-bye!
