Thursday Thoughts: A Bullet List of Excitement

I'm the type of "blogger" who randomly expounds upon topics that pop into my head at any given moment.  I've put "blogger" in quotes much like I used to put running in quotes.  This is because I believe that doing something periodically does not make you a person who does that thing.  For example, sometimes I paint; I am NOT a painter.  Anyway.  Lately I've been lacking when it comes to discussion topics.  Long gone are the days of dating blogs, the Bachelor live-blogs (you're welcome, J) and rumination on defining myself.  I'm finding myself stuck, for lack of a better term and mostly because I just mentioned painting, with an empty canvas.  I decided instead to list the things that are coming up shortly for which I am excited.

You guys... This isn't going to work...

So I signed up for AdSense and I got an email letting me know that they've checked my blog and they decided that I can have it.  This is great except that they sent me a whole list of terms and conditions.  Apparently I can't talk about adult content or anything unsuitable for children and I can't swear.  This clearly does not go well with the theme of my blog.  Apparently they need to check my blog periodically and look further into it as time goes on to make sure that I am with in all of the terms and conditions in order to have Adsense.  For those of you playing along at home what AdSense does is pay me for anyone who clicks on an ad from my blog but I can't suggest that people click it.

Reevaluating Street Walking and Psychological Health

Reevaluation.  n. The act of judging or determining the value or significance of an item.  We all reevaluate things in our lives.  If you don't, you should.  This morning alone I reevaluated the time for which my alarm was set by gracefully pounding the snooze button until it broke.  That's not an exaggeration, by the way... the fucker is stuck in the down position, permanently snoozing my life for 9 minutes at a time.  I'm choosing to not look at that as a metaphor.  While we all reevaluate things throughout our lives, I find that the most common times we do it knowingly is around life events: birthdays, holidays, impending doom nuptials, babies coming into the world, etc.  Often times these intrinsic times make us question what we've done up to this point and what we want to do from here forward.  Depending on what you take out of it, it can cause frustration, sadness, or excitement.  I've done a good amount of reevaluating over the last 2 months (which is my excuse for not writing anything lately, but is complete bullshit) and thought that maybe you would be interested in some of the things I've taken stock of and/or changed.

Answering Cosmo's 9 Questions for a Guy Guru - Girls Answer Better

So I just spent the better part of an hour sifting through blog ideas.  I realize it's been quite some time since I blogged and even longer since my blogging wasn't related to The Bachelor.

Top 10 Textversations I've Had on My Phone

Hello reader (or 4, or whatever).  As you may have noticed, the last 8 or so weeks I have gotten away from the original purpose of this blog.  For those of you who didn't notice, I'll safely assume you got to this blog in an attempt to see what happened on The Bachelor on a weekly basis.

Wide-Eyed and Bitchy, and Then There Were Two: Bachelor Live-Blog

Happy Week-Beginning.  First I'd like to thank the 70ish people who read this blog weekly to see what kind of crap I decide to bitch about related to the worst show in existence.

**Editor's note: I didn't edit this shit at all... enjoy**

Tonight we're drinking Moscato.  Leah, Gizmo, Bella and myself...kind of.  Bella and Gizmo are not drinking.

Because we're stupid moronic girls, we don't really remember our drinking game, but we're going to drink for the hell of it.  I feel like that's always a good call.

Top 10 Things I Need to Do Before Moving to Ft. Lauderdale

10. Dr's appointments - All completed
9. Switch from 5/3 Bank to Bank of America - Complete (it sucks, by the way. I really liked 5/3, but they don't have a branch close enough to where I'll be living or working.
8. Buy Sunpass - Yeah, that's right. Sun Pass. In Illinois we have an Ipass; in Florida, they get a pass to the sun.
7. Buy a "fall coat" - the only coats I own are snow or <30degree coats. I need a fall coat for 35-60 degree weather
6. Fix squealing tire on the new-to-me Hyundai Santa Fe - half complete...it has been brought to the shop...we are waiting to hear back.
5. Get Passport - Geez, it's expensive to get a passport! I got the pictures and filled out the forms, now I just need to go to the office and turn everything in. I am not planning to go anywhere, but just in case I get to travel with the team at all, I don't wanna be left behind.
4. Get haircut - I need to get the next two inches of blonde crap removed from the bottom of my hair and I could use a bang trim before I get on the road.
3. Look into the Purdue Alumni Association in Florida - I'll need to look into making some friends...
2. Set up some going away parties - one in the city and one in the suburbs.
