AHHHHH...My blog site is still down. So...here goes another blog entry
for me to cut and paste there later:
http://url.rexroof.com/565
(news.yahoo.com/news?
tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040314/ap_on_sc/undead_lobsters_2)
I have always had a problem with eating lobster. My problem isnt that
they dont taste good because...mmmmmm...they taste GOOD. My problem has
always been that they remind me of giant cockroaches. Every time I sit
down to eat one, I cant help thinking of it as a cockroach of the sea.
ICK.
When I was a child, my family went on vacation to Maine. We kept
stopping for lobster and my parents would always order me a lobster and
then when I refused to eat it, they would order me a hamburger instead.
They and my siblings would split the lobster they ordered for me and
they would laugh and say, "Ok...more for us!" (for some reason, they
never said that about lima beans and broccoli which they always made me
eat) I cant think of lobster without thinking of that trip to Maine.
Funny how we carry things with us like that.
One thing I have always heard about cockroaches is that if you freeze
them, they will come back to life when they thaw out. I always thought
there was something just a little gross about that. Now it turns out
that lobsters also can be frozen and then thawed. ICK. They are just
like giant cockroaches of the sea. ICK!

Beware the Ides of March!
I have a friend who has a dog named 'Brutus' and I was just thinking
that if I had a dog named 'Brutus', I would probably spend the whole
day looking over at him and saying 'Et Tu, Brutus?" and then laughing a
lot. So...I guess it is a good thing my dogs are named Brooke and
Crissy ;)

resp:149 I hope that enough think as you do, honestly. Although I
initially voted for Bush, I am not keen on him anymore. (I had not
voted for Gore, you see.)
resp:150 I know this does not help at all, but I thought I had heard
they were all arthopods or something. *sigh* Well, I'm not sure what
sort of mental conditioning you would need to get past your aversion,
because yes, lobster good... especially rock lobster...

Grumble. My blog site is down. Blah, how annoying. Oh well. At least I
have grex as a back up ;)
I am sitting here awake hours before the rest of the household. Not
surprising considering that I went to bed at 9:30p. I am sitting here
looking out of the window at the dawn. It is just getting light and it
is foggy. Shannon's guinea hens are making those cute noises that they
make. It is oddly comforting. It is peaceful here at dawn. Sonoma
county is probably my favorite part of California.
It isnt very peaceful at dawn at my house. On the rare occasion when I
wake up before 6a at home, the dogs get all excited because they see
that as a sign of an early breakfast and then I have to go through the
whole morning routine with them with is nice but isnt exactly
peaceful.

Well, my blog site is down again http:\\lynne.tblog.com
It is very frustrating but I am not quite ready to jump ship yet.
Others are though. It sucks because every time they have downtime it
takes a long time for my readers to come back. And I am an attention
slut so having a lot of readers is important to me.
But the writing is good for me too which is why I am happy to have grex
as my back up even though not too many people stumble through this
particular conference. :) There are some things I want to talk about
not on my regular blog anyways. Not that they are private or
anything...it is more that they are less public than other things. The
private things go into my hand written offline journal. :)
So, I met a guy when I was in California which was both really
wonderful and something that is currently driving me crazy. I want to
spend time hanging out with him but I cant because he is there and I am
here. Oh well. I have to wonder if I even would have allowed myself to
like him if he didnt live so far away. I have a real pattern of only
liking unavailable guys. And being 2000+ miles away is pretty
unavailable. I guess I will try not to worry about it too much.
Whatever will be will be, right?
All I know is that he took me sailing on a boat called "Sugar
Magnolia" which is a boat name I used to fantasize about years ago. Now
I have that song stuck in my head and I find myself humming it all the
time. At least it is a good song.

There are people in this world who are procrastinators. I was thinking
about this today because I had to go to the bank to deposit my pay
check. When I first got hired, they gave me all the forms for direct
deposit. I love direct deposit. I think it is a pain to go to the bank
every two weeks.
But I set those forms aside and thought to myself, "I'll get around to
that later" and I kept putting it off. And I kept putting it off. I
thought about it today because as I was sitting at my desk writing out
the deposit slip for the bank, I got an email about a special breakfast
I have been invited to at work on Thursday. It is to celebrate my
*fifth* anniversary with the company. I had to laugh. Geez, could I
have put off the direct deposit thing any more?
I caught myself thinking, "I really should fill out those forms...I'll
do it later" as I walked out the door to go to the bank. *slaps
forehead*
