My boss gave me a self help book for Christmas. Awesomest gift ever. Even though I am perfect there is always a little room to improve myself and this book is supposed to change my life in just 365 days.
Which letter should I send to the paper

Day 146: Famous Last Words: Prepare Yours Ahead of Time
I am laying nestled in Michelle's arms and she softly cries over me. Her sobs are slow as she is trying to hide them. She wants to be strong, but it is just too hard. I feel the warmth coming from her and remember when I felt warmth. I slowly lift my weak head and stare into her blue (?) eyes. I muster the breath and say, "I raged, bro."

Day 142: Senseless Day- Taste
So a day without using the sense of taste. I thought it would be easy since I'm supposed to be sleeping in a car to St. Joe right now, but that got cancelled last minute. I decided to eat minimal today (hard for a hungry girl). So I had a bowl full of homemade pseudo rice krispie treats (when reading a recipe read the whole recipe. Someone forgot the marshmallows) and a cheeseburger from Wendy's. I tasted them but I'm pretending not to. Now off to drink Rumchatta with Erin!

Day 143: Distibute Friendship Coupond
One thing has changed however. I cut my hair. No one has seemed to notice, but since I did it myself I am quite proud.
So today I was supposed to hand out friendship coupons. Considering it's the day after Christmas I'm not seeing anyone but Michelle, so I decided to text a few instead.
I sent Sheryl

Just Realized, This Is Day 135: Today Make Sure Your Parents Know You Love Them
I called my parents today to tell them I loved them. They never called me back. I'll bring them a cake tomorrow. And besides, I saw those bums yesterday.
Day 133: Subtext Day.
A few book examples (because I know you all love the book examples)...
Hi!
Shit!
How are?
Who are you?
I'm very well thanks, very well indeed.
Ask me how my career's going.
Fine, yeah, they made me account director actually.
Yes yes yes! I'm better than you.
Here's my number
Here's the number of a dry cleaner in New Jersey.
See you soon!
Drop dead.
So... I learned when my dad says, "Oh, I'm so glad you stopped by." What he really means is "Didn't we just get rid of you?"
My mom saying, "Sure you can work on your bed in our basement," is actually "You're keeping me up sawing when you have a freakin' place of your own. Go home."
They must think on the same wavelength cause when Dad says, "make this your last cut." Meaning, "I'm sick of holding this stupid piece of wood. Why did you not invest in proper clamps. My wife is trying to sleep. I'll pretend to be considerate."
Other things I read were...
Sure you can have a Magnum Bar
Aren't you in a fat bet cause that's going straight to your ass.
I'm ready to come home
I'm ready to come home, but please don't move into my basement.
Mark doesn't have any pallets.
Why does she keep asking ME where to get stuff. Doesn't she have a lot of free time on her hands. Afterall, she has time for a blog (I read that through a text message).
You're like a sister to me so, I'm going to interrogate whoever you're dating.
You are really good at dating idiots or you have an excellent picker.
And when Courtney says "you're smelly and stupid." She means, "take a bath and you're stupid." No subtext with that one!

Day 119: Go Through Today Without Using Your Sense of Hearing
But I feel like I was vibrating high (for those of you who are aware of my new self help book) and this task actually worked out. James would only talk to me when he was running the autoscrubber, making it impossible for me to hear him....Wait a minute?

Day 113: Today See A Movie That Begins With the Letter F
I have a feeling the book didn't think there would be anything playing that began with F since they said if you can't find one in your neighborhood, see one that begins with the letter Z. Really? Z? I think the only movie to ever begin with the letter Z is Zoolander (cough cough, I think I got the black lung, Pop).
So I look it up and there is a movie playing called 'For Greater Glory.' I decide to go after work, but unfortunately after a stressful day I totally forgot! I really hate myself right now. I was really looking forward to a historical flick that last almost 2 1/2 hours, staring Eva Longoria. I mean after watching however many seasons of Desperate Housewives, I know it will be easy to take her serious in a serious role.

Day 107: Globalization Day
Internet chat rooms just do not have the same appeal as they did back in the day when 46 year old pedafiles pretending to be 13 year old girls. I checked out a few the book recommended but some didn't even have chat rooms. Thank god none were porn sites since I was doing this as work. I figured why not multi task and chat it up while doing my favorite activity... filing. I finally ended up on delphi forums. This site sucked. All they asked was how old I was. No one said anything until the dark lord of satan blah blah blah left the chat room and someone said they were glad they finally left. I asked why and the response was lol. I thought internet chatters were supposed to have some social skills. Since no one was talking and filing is my favorite I began to focus on that. Then I left to clean a restroom, complain about co workers, chat it up with James, I think I might've even eaten something. Come back and remember that I'm chatting. Jokes on me they kicked me off because I was not responding. So no new friends for me :(

Day 105: Today Lie to Someone About Your Past
Today, a few people were shocked to discover that I experienced a traumatic situatin when my family decided to leave our Amish lifestyle for the new world. It was weird going from long skirts to pants. Funny thing, only one person looked at my skeptically.
I might try this one again tomorrow. The boys are working :)

Day 104: Various Relatives Day!
Suggested things to put in my card: Dear Mother, thank you for bringing me into this world and for your unconditional love (using). Dear Father, thank you for conceiving me (ew) and supporting me all those years. Dear Grandad and Grandma, thank you for being in the background creating a sense of security throughout my childhood (hmm, wonder if this applies since one lives in St. Joe, MO and the other three live in Heaven). Dear Aunt, I don't know you much but thanks anyhow. Dear Uncle, the bond between us is silent but strong (ew again). Dear Cousin, let's get married and freak everyone out (I think my cousin's 4). Dear Distant Relative, good luck with it all.
I'm only going to send them to my parents because they're the only ones who live in this of the state. I don't want to pay the extra postage. But come to think of it, I don't have any stamps. Luckily I'm going to my parents house so I'll just use theirs. Or maybe I'll ask my dad to get me stamps for Relative's Day!!!
Here are the cards I picked out for them
I also got confetti to add in them. I mean, who doesn't love confetti!!!

Day 100: Conterfeiting Day
Day 101: Today Become a Chocolate Junkie
This was easy considering my least favorite aunt, who has not visited me in almost 5 years, decided to pay a visit this weekend. I forgot how much junk I eat when she comes for her monthly visit. Yesterday, I had a chocolate toffee cookie, piece of chocolate wedding cake, resisted from eating my boss's piece of chocolate wedding cake, and too many Hershey kisses to count. Today I don't know how many brownies I ate, Dr. Pepper which is kind of chocolately, probably more cookies than brownies and of course a piece of apple pie. I know that's not chocolate, but at that point in might as well have been. Training tomorrow is going to be painful.

Day 98: No Swearing Day
I was driving somewhere yesterday when I was inspired to restart from this day. Why this day, you ask. And that is a great question. Becasuse when driving, America Fuck Yeah was playing on the radio. As I'm sure most of you are smart enough to know, they cannot say fuck on the radio. So instead of fuck, they were using the beep. I thought it would be awesome to say things like you're a beephole or a beephead. I did pretty well until once again I was driving and someone was riding on my bumper. Once again I began screaming, "get off my beeping, beep!" Only no beeps. Irony of this, that person was my boss. I still have a job so I guess she didn't hear me.

Day 92 Update Update
She finally responds last night (my computer was already dead, so that's why I didn't update you earlier. I'm sorry to those who lost sleep worrying about what was going to happen).
Unacceptable
I like how my lawyer is dictating to me what is acceptable and not when it comes to my life. I should really consider getting a new lawyer. Because of these thoughts I simply reminded her that it was acceptable by responding
Acceptable
Her response
No. I'm out drinking.... They are trying to make me eat jumbo slice. Big gross pizza. Ew. I'm opening it in the morning
I just love how professional she is. The she goes on talking about a party bus, but those messages are private :). Then says
Seriously, can I open the envelope or not?
I know what you're thinking, but no, she did not go to law school in the Dominican Republic.
Not until I die!
I had to remind her again. It obviously didn't work with this young professional because she responds
Waaaah I'm very torn. I really really want to open it.
I tried to reassure the crying girl by responding
[my third grader] says I'll be dead in 36
She did not repsond to that. I thought that that had done the trick. That the girl was reassured and would not open the letter until she is instructed to do so. Finally got her professional lawyerism going, but then when I left work at 9 am this morning (long day) I had a message from her. She had disobeyed the one rule she had and opened it
If you could amend your will, I would rather have your giant hoard of public hair.

Day 92 Update
So do I really have to wait until you die to open the envelope or are you trying to kill me with curiosity.
So professional she is
I reinformed her to wait until I die by simply replying
Wait until I die :)
As with all lawyers, her impatients grew as she responded (yes, I am still in class desperately trying to learn)
Do I HAVE to??
And I thought lawyers were a smart profession.
Am I dead?
I simply responded. She decides to get snippy and says
Are you texting me??? Can I PLEASE open it??
Aren't lawyers supposed to show some kind of patience. I mean seriously, what is another 50 or so years. But I did have a third grader (age 9) tell me the other day, that I would be dead by the time she's able to run for president. So if that kid's right, that's like 36 years.
I responded
Yes I/m texting you and I'm not dead.
Obviously not good with instruction, she replies
I'm gonna open it...
For those of you who don't speak lawyer, 'gonna' is lawyer slang for going .
I warned her saying
Be warned.
Just like a true lawyer, paranoia set in.
Is it anthrax? if you're dead, I should be, too, is that the idea?
I like that thought. I might send her an envelope of powder sugar just to see what happens.
She later informs me she is not at home and may not be able to hold out for another day saying
Lol, luckily for you I wasn't at home... I may not be able to hold out for another day.
And to think she gets paid the big bucks. Once again I reminded her
You have to hold out til I die
And just like a man, no response. But don't worry, I have a feeling this is not over. I will keep you posted.

Day 82: Sit in the Lotus Position for 30 Minutes Today
I am a pansy.
Oh yes I am
I am a pansy
Because I didn't think I can
My ankle started throbbing
And I felt like it was robbing
All the blood that I had
This was making me sad
I decided enough
Because I am not tough
And quit after pence
and a ten.
My ankle hurt. I quit after ten minutes. But I did feel relaxed while doing it. Oh well.

I actually might start this tomorrow. I just need a nail file and some wooden furniture.

I did just replace the table I made with a new one or, hey, Sheryl, what did you do with your old kitchen furniture!
