GetSheila

What did I miss while I was gone?

I stopped writing for a few mere months and now suddenly it is hard. Who knew?

Since tax season ended, I want to tell you I:

1. Used my overtime money to end hunger in a third world country re-named "GetSheilaLand" in my honor;
2. Had so much overtime money left after that I paid off my house;
3. Got a boyfriend;
4. Remodeled my house;
5. Started a rigorous exercise program and am now slim and healthy.

But here is what really happened:

1. Used my overtime money to replace my "it's so old it's Harvest Gold - crawl inside the drum to reach the lint screen - give it three extra go's at the end of each cycle to get the clothes actually dry" dryer with a brand new digitally programmable steam dryer on a pedestal;
2. Had a chunk of change to put down against my Prius loan but got depressed when I realized it will still take me over a year to pay off the balance;
3. Got a Wii;
4. Moved all my furniture around so the living room is now actually the living space and the family room - the only carpeted room in the house - is now the exercise room, complete with formerly unused treadmill from the bedroom and yoga DVD's;
5. Have been on the treadmill a total of two times since tax season ended but I do still do yoga every morning and am now adding it to my evenings. Some days are more bendy than others.

Sooooooo, I feel a tad out of touch these days. Did I miss anything good?

No I am not dead, thanks for asking

I'm baaaaaaack. Well, sort of. I shall begin posting regularly again soon. Just how regularly, I have not yet decided. Any preference?

In the meantime, please go watch this video:An Engineer's Guide to Kittehs. It is approximately six and a half minutes long and entirely worth it if you are a cat person. Or perhaps if you just like engineers. Or both.

Some snips to pique your interest:

1. A rigorous lounge training schedule;
2. The Corporal Cuddling Method;
3. And my personal favorite: Cat yodeling.

I would write more but there is a bag of chocolate chips on my kitchen counter calling my name. Maybe I will actually bake them this time. Then again, is there anything more yummy than raw chocolate chip cookie dough? No, no there is not.

Are brain-eating zombies just outside the door? They do not say.

I know. I have not posted in forever and now I am posting this lame thing. But it freaked me out!

One of the questions it asks to determine how long you could survive trapped in your home is if you have any pets. Why? Not because the love they share with you will keep your spirit healthy. No. Because they are a potential FOOD SOURCE.

Gah!

I beat Hsien, who can only last a mere 56 days. Peanuts! Then again, she does have three people to feed compared to my mere one.

Hm, they did not ask how many CHILDREN you have to use a potential food source. I wonder why...
