This Does Not Have a Unifying Theme

Remember how in high school you would have to make little index cards for research papers? I always procrastinated in a perilous fashion because it was a near impossibility for me to create a cohesive piece when all my thoughts were divided among 150 index cards.

This post would probably be graded harshly--at least for my use of "you" in the opening sentence. The other problem, of course, is the sans-unification and fragmentation-ness (oh yeah, red marks for making up words too).

Since I have writer's block (aka semi-boring week), I will now present some random information.

-Why is it that even though I love working out in the mornings, I still have to fight myself to lace up my sneakers and drag out the yoga mat? At 6:12 am, I am all yin-yang, yawning while desperately reminding myself of how great I feel post-crunch-and-bicep-curl.

-Do y'all have Comcast On Demand? If you go to "Sports and Fitness" then "Exercise TV," there are lots of workout options that change every couple of weeks. I am having a lot of fun selecting new things to do. It is oddly relaxing to watch other people work out.

-I haven't given up on Jillian, but one of my trainer buddies told me not to do lunges every day. Now I really look forward to the variety of the non-Jillian days. Thanks Comcast.

-Have you seen the "25 Random Things" tag on FB? I like reading what people choose to write about themselves. I have been tagged, and suddenly cannot think of anything. At all. Then, of course, I have the following now-not-so-secret fear: what if no one comments on my 25 Things? Am I then The Most Boring Person on Facebook?

-I am trying to find something to drink. Diet Dr. Pepper is now hurting my tummy and martinis are fattening and illegal at work. Water is boring-ish. I thought I found the magic combo: water with a touch of lemon. How was I rewarded for this ingenious idea? Heartburn. What do y'all drink? Water, Sweet Tea, Crystal Light, Cristal? Help a sister out.

-And lastly, while I'm pimping y'all for answers to the meaning of life...which celeb has the most imitation-worthy hair? I need a new 'do. I am completely bored with my hair and have no ideas. I do think a hair magazine entitled, "You are Thirtysomething and Have a Real Job, Now What?" would be a colossal hit. So far the only folks with professional looking hair that I can find are TV detectives and anchorwomen. Maybe the ponytail isn't so bad after all.

I love reading everyone's "25" on FB, but just can't bring myself to write mine. I hate writer's block!

I love your allusion to the notecards! You know the really smart students don't do well with notecards!! {This is true} So that can be one of your 25 - "A retired English teacher told me that I am REALLY smart."

I like Katie Homes's haircut! Or you could consider just adding bangs and keeping your length? I did that about a year and a half ago and it was the perfect change!

I know what you mean about FB! i finally filled it out after having four people tag me.

The memory of notecards just hurt my feelings because I hated that so much. I was more of a pencil-paper kinda gal. Then, I got a word processor in college.

I wish they woulda had laptops in college. I could write a killer paper now if I wanted to.

But I don't want to.

I'm sorry about the issues with the DDP :o(

I enjoyed the random writings. I am stuck on Strawberry Kiwi Propel, Sprite, and Dr. Pepper. Good Luck to you finding a new drink.

Can't wait to see your new hairstyle.

I loathed, absoulutely loathed, the index card as a tool to assist in writing English papers. I used to get them all mixed up or lose some. I think Preppy 101 is right. I have a degree in English and am a licensed English teacher. I never did well on notecards either. She's right. We're just TOO smart for that;) Haha!

I am having trouble with my 25 FB list too. Good luck with the search for a new hairstyle. Keep us posted!

I found it hard to do my 25 things-not on FB but on my blog I am not on face book my hubs has enough issues with my obsession with blogs.

I drink Coke Zero or Diet Mt. Dew I love love love me some Mt. Dew but obviously can't drink it all the time so I settle for the diet version. Coke Zero is good I liked the C2 better but for some reason they stopped selling them
