Comment on my lack of creative juices.....

So for awhile there I had all kinds of blog post ideas running around my head-as if I could post comments for years.

And then I lost it.

What caused this loss? Among other things I blame:
  1. Work which sucks my imagination and creativity dry.
  2. The onset of the Fall TV Season. Yes, I capitalized that as if it's a national holiday because for me, it is. Speaking of which-I'm loving Glee (as previously mentioned), Mercy, SYTYCD, The Biggest Loser, The Good Wife, The Office, Community, etc. etc. etc. Yes, I have a problem. Admission is the first step.
  3. Going to Idaho to visit my parents-I go and then I never leave-only due to impending shifts at work do I come back-at the last possible second.

I think I'm coming back though. I had a few thoughts I'd like to throw out to the internets:

I'm freezing. The last three days (aka my nights) I've slept in sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and socks with extra blankets on my bed. Because I'm freezing in my apartment I overdress and end up being too hot when I go outside. That's something I hate about "Indian Summer". Speaking of Indian Summer-shouldn't it be renamed Native American Summer? It just seems more PC.

I hate emptying the dishwasher. I will load it till the cows come home-but emptying it takes me forever to get around to doing. I think it's because the tupperwares get all tossed around and filled with water and then I have to dry them. Ugh.

I swear whenever I meet a cute guy he's either married or gay. Yes, that's right-I said it. Even if dude isn't wearing a ring I still assume he's married or gay-not every guy wears a ring. I think they should just so I don't bother with unneccessary conversation.

I read A Thousand Splendid Suns basically in one night shift (don't tell my managers). I loved it.

My place of business needs to always have bran muffins for the night shift workers. Or just one for me. I love them.

I'm pretty sure that edamame gives me heartburn. I'm also pretty sure that excessive diet coke drinking has given me heartburn. I was going to cut back on diet coke, but I decided to pick up some Pepsid AC at Walgreen's today so that won't be necessary.

I'm coming down with a cold. I hate that feeling. The headache, the semi-nauseated stomach (or at least that's just me), the sore throat, the combo of Alka Seltzer Cold, TheraFlu, and Airborne. Yuck.

Zupa's has the best Wild Mushroom Bisque soup. I had some tonight-I ordered the combo and barely touched the salad because the soup was just that good. Combine that with catching up with one of my favorite people and it was a good night (can't wait to do it again Marie-preferably in Seattle!).

My Aunt Pat makes the lightest, flakiest, most tasty (I hate that word but it works here) peach pie ever-holy crap! I had half a piece tonight and may need to go back in for the rest of it.....

That's all for now. I can feel those creative juices flowing-hallelujah-I'm back!

Random comment on Indian Summer vs. Native American Summer...so I'm taking an Anthropology of Native American class (general requirement), and the first day the instructor told us that Indians prefer to be called Indians, not Native Americans. We can discuss at a later time my personal feelings on the matter.
Love the comment about no longer needing to cut back on diet coke.

I love my Mom's peach pie too. I miss it. I guess I better figure out how to make it since I don't live close :(

So happy to spend time with you Jen. It went by too fast. I need to get my creative mojo back too. Here's to a fall full of creativity. And running. :()
