worst friends E-V-E-R

Q: Wow, you ask for love, support, and a little creative-license, and what do you get?

A: Only the most humiliating confirmation from your truest of true friends that you are officially 'weird'.

Life Lesson Learned: never post a one-question survey where the answers from your greater readership will most assuredly determine and confirm your worst possible nightmare. No, I am not speaking of limb amputation this time. I am specifically referring to that common human thread which binds us all together in perfect insecurity: the dreaded, "am I weird?" question.

Yes. I am. And you know what? I embrace it. If preferring pancakes with no syrup throws me outside of the social breakfast circles of the world, then so be it.

I don't need your stinking approval anyways.

can't wait until tomorrow...I'm so in the mood for a good old-fashioned dry pancake. mmmm....
if anyone wants to partake, breakfast will be served at my place around 9am. BYOS. I think you know what I mean.

I immediately thought "Breakfast Club"
and started humming, "Don't you....forget about me...."

aww ... we still love you even if you are a little weird. In my opinion, of what I've seen of you so far anyway, that's the only weird thing you have going for you. Don't we all need at least that ONE thing??

when did weird start being, well, weird? i'm telling you, REAL maple syrup will make a new person out of you. On the other hand, some people do munch to the beat of a different drummer...

Ok, this SO made me want to eat pancakes this morning!! When I asked the hubby if he would make pancakes this morning he willingly said yes :) They were so yummy! We added dark chocolate chips to them - WAY YUM! Even though I do like to eat my pancakes with syrup I do agree that it is not necessary especially if the pancakes are warm and contain chocolate of some kind (I have never had M&M pancakes before!). So, since I do agree with you even though I do like syrup on my pancakes, am I your favorite cousin-in-law or what!? :)

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey ...

local Nashville girl turns 30...

...and the intersection of Murfreesboro Rd. and Thompson Ln. wins "No. 1 site for car accidents in Metro Nashville." Coincidence?? I think not. When something this great happens, everyone wants a piece of the action. Finally, the happiest day of the year has come. After a whole weekend of pre-party celebrating, my big day is here, and bigger than ever. I am thirty today. It's been a long road. I thirty year road. I worked hard to get here. Survived countless potential car accidents, dodged all possible life-threatening illnesses, and legions of unknown potential mortal hazards just to be here today. Not everyone can say that. I'm not even kidding actually. I feel really blessed to have made it this far; witnessing tragedy around me, but never really coming face to face with it. I'm not really sure why I get to lead such a charmed life while the world around seems to be crumbling. All I know is I'm thankful. Details to come on why this is the B-E-S-T birthday ...

my very second blogger meet-up

I was remiss in posting about my very first blogger meet-up, which was over the Christmas holiday. Somehow, the stars aligned, and my sister & I (who live in Nashville) were able to meet Lisa (who lives in VA) and her family, in Florida. Nothin' like the comforts of common territory when meeting those all-elusive 'internet' friends for the first time. Lisa's dad is also a blogger, and the night before we all met, I happened to see a comment of his on my preacher's blog . Additionally, for the first time that night, I noticed that Lisa has blogrolled a friend of mine from college who I didn't even know had a blog. We can play 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon later. I need to get back to my post here... But before I do, I want to say thanks to Lisa & her family for being my very first blogger meet-up! It was fun. But more than that, it brought a sense of satisfaction that this thing we all do called 'blogging' is not just a hobby, or a hope for recognition...
