Time to turn in my portfolio of poems to my poetry teacher giving me good blogging material all week long!
The first poem meant for your delight is one I wrote when we were assigned a "brag poem". We were told to brag about ourselves so I said give me something I don't do on a regular basis and sat down and wrote this (in literally less than five minutes cause I wanted to hang out with my husband but he told me I couldn't till all my homework was done...haha)

spring break 2009 wohoo!
No theme post today, just good clean thoughts (not that I'm swaying from my average dirty ones).
It being spring break and all I decided to take advantage of my porch. In wondering where to do my homework (don't worry I had the crazy spring break fun this past weekend ;) I thought to myself, "I wish there were some place I could go and sit outside and not have to buy anything like a drink" then I turned three inches and looked outside at my table and chairs...duh.
(the greatest advantage being bathroom breaks without awkwardly carrying my laptop into the stall with me "oh uh..the internet so much clearer in here!")
I did something to purposefully tempt myself..I started thumbing through a book I got about writing for children and almost decided to read the whole thing here and now, but took the responsible route and put it down (don't judge me and my geeky transgressions). Segue in 5..4..3..2..It did get me to thinking about how great it is that we are built with something that stirs us.
What a boring world it would be if everyone was moved by the same thing, or by nothing at all. And even if our passions are yet to be discovered it's great just knowing that there is something there, we just have to find it.
Being on stage and being a part of a formation of words/sentences are two things I couldn't live without and I love that.
I cannot put into words how ready I am to be out of school. No wait, I can. It's as if I'm at a race and standing behind the starting line in position ready to burst forward while still having to do warm up exercises (haha I have no idea what that actually feels like, but in my mind the two are one and the same).
Only seven more weeks.
Praise God.
I'm not going to lie, I'm more excited about graduation day then I was about my wedding day but only because graduation day I show up in a gown looking like everyone else-a thousand times less stressful and nothing to do with my love for marriage or my wedding day :)

AAM
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
People are pulling this label out like it's on clearance.
Our waiter let us know the other night that we can be assured that our drinks are correct since he's...lets all say it together...OCD.
Where was this "disorder" ten years ago? Chillin' with sun-dried tomatoes in the "fad waiting to happen" room? (oh gosh that's terrible, but I'm keepin it!)
I understand that "SOCIETY" needs labels like that to fall back on (ie-ADD/ADH) but I have a notion that there wouldn't be as many cases of it if there were no label for it.
So some people have the need to have everything in order, that's doesn't call for a "disorder" I like for things to be all about me (AAM) so does that mean I should be treated?
If by treated you mean showers of praise and accolades then a resounding YES!
But that's not necessary. All I'm saying is the "disorder band wagon" is getting pretty full of people who are using labels as more of a crutch then a scientific break through.
So you like to do things in excellence, that's not OCD it's G-O-O-D.
So you can't pay attention for long periods of time...who really can? The human brain is a playground of random thoughts, you just have to learn to discipline your mind.
I'm sure there are a few cases here and there of people with real mental problems in these arena's but I'd be willing to bet my baby blanket that over 60% of people who claim it, are just fine.

It's a Google Earth-We All Just Click On It
haha oh the wit of me.
Yes so if you're wondering what google latitude is all about, don't.
Not unless you want everyone in your email address book to think, "hey, wait a minute...why does SHE need to know where I am?!"
Yes many an email has now been sent explaining away the accidental stalker-like qualities I've inflicted on myself after playing around with a new gadget. (unless I know you know me and that I don't spend my weekend outside your bedroom window)
"What had happened was"...
Oo! google latitude, I wonder what this is all about--click click hmm that's interesting. Oo pretty butterrfly....
Two days later
"so and so has accepted your request to know their location" What?!
Today
"Professor, please excuse the email you've received where I've requested to know your whereabouts every time you sign on your email. I assure you I'm not as freaky as google makes me out to be."
Lesson learned.
Now if google only had a gadget to explain away stalker qualities I'd be set.
