Look how nice I am not laughing at you.
Aside from this consistent headache, life hasn’t been overly bad. Boring, but not horrible. Yesterday, I discovered a new writer who I am in adoration about… Shelly Mazzanoble released a book called Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: A Girl’s Guide to the Dungeons & Dragons game. Absolutely hilarious. If you play or you know anyone who plays or is thinking of playing, I suggest getting this book. Shelly introduces the game by way of her own introduction into D&D, which considering she works at Wizards of the Coast, came quite late in her life. However, having been also a late convert to the game, I completely understand her immersion into the game dynamics and how life is really not that much different. As she says, if you played with dolls as a child, this is no different. I laughed often as I read this book. Her website also has several other articles by her that also will make you laugh and shake your head in empathy, all while just slightly getting you interested in the new 4.0 version.
My work this week was interestingly dull. My fave co-worker is away on another continent, having fun. The first three days were spent being used and abused (mostly abused by the end of the three days) by the be-yotch of the office who thankfully is away for a few weeks. And goodness, I realized how much I depend on the fave co-worker to keep me sane and looking busy. So many days were spent with nothing pressing to do. Not that I didn’t have anything to do, just nothing pressing and nothing time-consuming. Meanwhile, the prodigal return has stolen half of my work and she is up to her eyeballs in work (I think she is doing it all wrong, but she has yet to actually ask for my help – and trust me, I have walked over to her desk and asked if she needed help). However, I did have work I had to take home, that I could not do at work without carting a whole bunch of equipment to work. See I opened my mouth and mentioned that I did scrapbooking as a hobby. Yeah, you see where this is going. So I have spent a number of hours (boy is the boss going to be surprised when he finds out how many) working on a scrapbook. I think it is looking good. Goodness I hope so. I will find out on Tuesday when I bring it for a preview with the fave co-worker.
I also did a bunch of baking this weekend. In part for the party the scrapbook is for, as we are required to bring baking as well; also in part for girls’ nite this coming weekend. I am surprisingly disappointed with my peanut butter/butterscotch squares – I am not sure what is different (other then not enough marshmallows), but something is. The girls can let me know this Friday at Girls’ Nite (yes, A- you are missing out in my squares – perhaps if you are nice, J will bring you some home – heehee). And I made 4 batches of banana bread – 3 for loaves and 1 for muffins. Yum! However, after all that, I STILL have 4 more batches worth of bananas in my freezer. Sighhhhh! Maybe I will make more this week.
I am thinking of stealing the snow from my neighbor’s yard across the street. The lack of snow on my lawn is showing all of the crap left by the contractors as they worked on our house in fall/early winter. Sighhhh. Sometime, I will have to go clean that up.
Have you ever been obsessed over a sensation? I keep having this thought play in my mind. My hands tangle in silky hair, my lips brush across soft lips. I kiss these lips, alternating between feather light and possessively deep. My hands don’t stray much; they just keep running through the hair. Sometimes, I tangle with the longer hair in back, tugging on it to elicit a gasp. Sometimes, my thumbs brush across the delicate earlobe or the pulsing temples. Anyway, this thought just pops into my head every so often, enough to warrant a raised eyebrow, but not enough to worry me.
The thing that is worrying me right now is this seemingly never-ending mental hunger. My body isn’t hungry, but my head is. And nothing seems to completely satisfy it for very long. Right now I am craving salty chips – now Sunday night that makes sense, since usually I would have had a nice big handful of chips and a bunch of sugar while I played d&d, but what about the fact that I was legitimately hungry around 3:30 this afternoon and after eating a handful of nuts, I was still starving at 4? I started on supper around 5:00, because I was so hungry and by 5:30, we were eating. Then by 8, I was hungry again. Yesterday, I managed to go from 5:30 til 9:30 without any hunger, but then at 9:30, I was just so hungry, I didn’t want to stop eating at 11 pm. Like, what the carp is that about?
I have more to rant about, but I am exhausted today, so I will remind you to all have a wonderful easter weekend (remember dark chocolate bunnies are healthy for you (antioxidants), so nibble away to your heart’s content.)
