Ogdrea City

Once the rapture ends if you're still around I'll be queen of Ogdrea city! This will be my castle:




And I'll have a pet dragon, I'd tell you his name but I think there are people out there who will steal it.





You're welcome to apply for citizenship in Ogdrea City. All applications will be excepted until the day after rapture at which point I'll get bored with them and stop caring. But be careful not to make me angry because there are 3 ways to die in Ogdrea, none are pleasant.

1. I have already hired an executioner





2. The bottomless pit





3. My moat will be made of lava





There are still job openings available, most the good ones have been filled but I need someone to feed the dragon!

So which is it for you, heaven or Ogdrea City?

Dreams of BEA, sweet baby, end of the world and a short story

Next week in New York all the coolest people in the world will gather in one place! The stars will shine down on them the heavens will open up and angels will sing! What is this magical event you ask? It's BEA (book expo America). And where will I be? Stuck in boring Utah! Nothing good happens here! I want to go and be in the presence of writers and books and that aren't even out yet! The thing I'm most jealous about is the ARCs of Ally Condie's Crossed! If someone is in New York and can go to BEA from 10-11 on the 25th and snag me an ARC of crossed, I'd totally pay you back for shipping plus send you money for lunch! Oh and you'd be my BFF and I'd tell the whole world about you! I know that's not so realistic but I gotta try right?!






I told Jenn she needs to get published soon so she can take me to cool events and I'll carry all her swag around for her!


Yesterday I got to spend the whole day with one of my super cute niece's! She's moving to a place far away, somewhere over a rainbow, this weekend and I'll miss the way she sings along with ET, and her cute little pinch able cheeks, (what I'm an aunt that's what we do!) it makes me sad.




Has everyone now been informed about the Rapture happening on Saturday? I had to look up what it was all about and found campings equation for why he thinks it's this Saturday. While I was reading it to the hubs he said 'hmm that sounds a lot like cartmen's equation for why Kyle is responsible for 9/11.'



Well I think it's crazy talk but I hope all stay safe Saturday anyway:)

And finally my May short story is up! I've never had such pushy characters who wanted their stories told so check it out. I hope you like it. If you do leave me a comment I love comments!

Is there an event you wish you really could go to but can't?

Advertise this.

There are a few things in life that really drive me nuts. Things I get so opinionated over that I just can't stop being angry over them.  Some of them I'll admit I've probably even done myself and had to learn the hard way.  But one that really ticks me off is Advertisements left on my car windshield. I HATE THEM!

I never look at them.  I don't know or care what you are advertising.  And truthfully if there isn't a trash can near by I throw it on the ground and hope the stupid company who put it there gets fined for littering. I don't know why it makes me so angry but when I walk out to my car and see a paper stuck to my windshield I want to punch someone.

I get an ad. put on my car at least once a week in the parking garage where I work.  The newest thing?  Some idiot company has made ads on PostIt notes and sticks them to the side windows.  EVERY SINGLE time I've had one of these it has been on my passenger side window. GRR I just want to scream thinking about it!  I'm leaving work so I obviously don't have someone with me who is getting in on that side so I have to walk around and take it off, that is if I saw it before I started driving!

I think its odd how these ads show up yet I never see anyone doing it.  I think if I ever caught someone sticking something on my car it would get ugly.  I'm not sure if I would follow them to their car and at some point find their car and Duct tape ads all over the thing.  Or if I would just beat their face in.  Either way it would be unpleasant.

Oh and what about when it rains and the ad sticks and runs ink all over your windshield? How is this type of advertising even legal?  Do any of you read these ads?  have you ever given these people business? Maybe I should start reading the ads and discouraging business to these places.

Please stop putting ads on my car!

Conversations and the lost Gilmore Girls

Most of my days are spent talking to projectors and lately AV equipment. They go something like this.

Me:  Theatre 6, Why are you so freaking mean to me?
Theatre 6: hahahahahahaha
Me: this is NOT funny! You think those poor people down there enjoy watching their movie with no sound?
Theatre 6: hahahahaha
-Yeah its super intelligent, that theatre 6.

Or this,

Me: Hey Mic. Why don't you have a power supply where is it?
Mic.: Yeah about that, we had a fight and you'll never find it again!
Me: are you kidding? this is not good we need that power supply.
Mic: Well that sucks.

And any time I meet a new person at work I have this exact conversation,

Random new person: Gabbitas, are you related to B.I.L 1?
Me: Yeah he's my brother in law
Random new person: That's cool.  He's a great guy.
Me: Yup I know.

Which reminds me of the conversations I'd have with teachers all through school,

Teacher: Atchison, are you related to RB?
Me: Yeah he's my LITTLE brother.
Teacher: Oh yeah, he has a lot of energy.
Me: Yeah... aren't you supposed to ask him if he's related to me, since I'm older?

But my favorite Conversation of everyday is,

Hubs: your so pretty!
Me: You are the Handsomest of all the land.
Hubs: No I can't believe how pretty you are.
Me:  I love you!

It's funny the repeated conversations we have over and over :)

And in honor of how fast The Gilmore Girls talk (see its related to conversations) and story!

So the other day I decided I really wanted to watch Gilmore Girls, I have all the seasons of course.  So Hubs went downstairs to grab it from where we keep all of our TV seasons and came back with How I Met Your Mother. "Gilmore Girls isn't down there" he says.

"Yeah it is I'll prove it," I say.  And I head down the stairs to look where I thought i had put them when I unpacked the DVD's when we moved in what 2 months ago?  They weren't there!  So I searched the two bedrooms we have some random stuff in.  No go they were just gone! "Are we missing a box that hasn't been unpacked?" I asked hubs.

"I don't know," he says "are we missing other TV seasons?" So we looked and I only had season 1 of Will and Grace.

"Season 2 of Will and Grace is missing too." I say.  Well we ended up going to bed and just watching HIMYM. But then Hubs comes upstairs a few days later and was holding Gilmore Girls.

"YOU FOUND THEM!!!" I exclaimed!

"Yup, know what else I found?" he asks

"What? Will and Grace season 2?"

"Yeah, AND Everwood, Entourage, True Blood." he says

"Oh wow!  I forgot we had those!!" It's kind of like having new stuff.  apparently I haven't done a very good job unpacking our house.  must finish that someday.

Well that's my random stories for the day!

Countdown to vacation

This year we're using all of the hubs vacation and most of mine to go to my sisters wedding and then to our cabin in Michigan.





Only 6491926 seconds until we go! Which is 75 very long days!! I need a break so bad! So the countdown has begun! And mentally I'm already there. I can't wait to look at stars and go on amazing walks with the hubs. No phones no cell service no work. Ahhh! Can't wait!

It's my life

Like I said last night, my brain has been spinning a lot lately.  One of the things I can't stop thinking about is old friends. I've lost a lot of Friends along the way... most the time I really end up missing them.  I finally stopped being stubborn with one, well I guess two since they're married and they were both my really close friends at one point, and we started talking again.  I've missed her, and him too, soo much!  It's been nice having her back to talk to.  But now she's leaving me again for some place called far far away.  I hope she'll say hi to Shrek for me.

But it's all got me thinking about other friends, One story comes to mind for me because it reminds me of several situations.  It's Jr. High, we're standing up on the stage by the vending machines at lunch.  One of our friends who hasn't been standing with the group strides over to another of our friends takes her braids in her hands and yells, 'I'm the only one who can wear my hair in braids like that, take them out!'  Now there's alot going on with the girl yelling this at the time, probably more than I ever knew. But it did change the way I saw her, I was a little scared of her.  However that isn't where we stopped being friends. It was a few years later in high school when she screamed at me in a hallway about a situation she wasn't even present at.  But I have a strange understanding, which is a long story, and involves that same line of crazy.

  I've probably been walking the crazy line for a while now.  I'm trying to step back, breathe and just continue to be me no matter what, but friends aren't the only thing spinning in my head, I may just be over thinking it to not over think another subject. I think I just want someone to walk the crazy line with me for a little bit.. I have about 5 subjects to pick from! come over to the dark side, we have cookies!

But I'm extremely excited! because its girls night out tonight!! I always feel better after seeing my besties!

Random question, has anyone seen the roommate?  Does it end bad?  Just curious.

Like a revolving door

Shh! Quiet brain! I don't know if it's spring fever but my mind is crazy.. And obsessive! I wish my brain had an off switch.. Anyway when I get like this I need the things that make me happy so here they are!

1. How I met your mother.

2. The office

3. Sheldon from Big Bang Theory

4. Having good friends and inside jokes at work.

5. My husband

6. Apple juice

7. Good books

8. Good sleep

Anyway.. That's really all I have, it's short but I figured I'd say hello! I'm off to eat some cheez-it's to follow my chocolate ice-cream a few other favorites:)

Unity, Peace, Love

Everyone is entitled to an Opinion. I've never much thrown mine in to Politics because I don't always agree with EVERYTHING each party has to offer.  I don't feel much like associating my self with one party or the other.  I have an open mind and I'll listen to what each has to say and offer. I also don't know a lot about politics.  I find it fascinating and love learning when I get a chance.  If I could go back to school (that is if it didn't cost so much) I'd major in English, mostly creative writing and editing. and I'd minor in political science, (The things I wish I'd known when I was in college.)  It's funny how life works like that when you finally realize what you want it's just a little out of reach.

Anyway I've drifted off subject. Every once and a while I get really strong feelings one way or another and everyone saying it wasn't Obama who killed Bin Laden are driving me INSANE!!! Who the EFF cares?? The bad guy is dead, right? We didn't lose any of our amazing troops in this last operation to get him, right?  Obama is an American which has been proven thanks to Donald Trump, Right??  I'm not understanding why you're wasting your time bashing on our president. NEWS FLASH I'm pretty sure no matter who the president in office was it wouldn't have been him who personally killed Bin Laden. In my opinion Obama did make the final call to send those men in, those men who have left their families for our country carried out the orders and took out an evil plaguing this world.  So for once why cant we stand Untied with our fellow Americans, (This includes Obama no?)?  Why can't we pray together, to what ever God we choose to believe in, for peace so those brave men can go home to their families? Why can't we just love everyone? It wasn't you who killed Bin Laden either, and I'm betting that he had ALOT more to do with it than you did!  If its the speech Obama gave your so angry over I'm sure he didn't write it alone but maybe you should listen to it again. Only this time put your political party aside, and LISTEN. if you can't put your party aside count how many times Obama says WE and OUR and how many times he says I.  You tell me which one wins. He starts his speech with "The UNITED STATES has conducted an operation that killed Osama Bin Laden."  I don't hear an I in that statement?  He mentions the Heroic Citizens who took down that 4th plane.  and he says "Thanks to the men who carried out this operation"

Just Stand UNITED! for "His demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity." Of course I still and always will believe everyone is welcome to their opinion. I just needed to say I feel like people aren't focusing on what is important. Let's all move forward as one, in Peace, Unity, and Love!

A Disney Like Weekend

A Prince gets married

The Bad Guy is Dead

And a war between friends

I didn't honestly follow much of the Royal Wedding.  I was at work watching Prom:

Which was ever so blah! its the typical good girl meets bad boy and falls in love BS that's been told a million and one times.  So it was the same thing as the Royal Wedding right?! Yeah that's where the truth comes in I actually thought it was the Royal Wedding.. epic Fail!

Then Sunday night I get on Twitter to declare a word war with Jenn and see news I wasn't sure was true at first.  Osama Bin Laden dead? Watch the presidential announcement starting soon.  So I ran downstairs turned on the TV and called my dad.  What amazing news!  Yes it came 10 years too late but better late than never right?  For all you out there saying things like, It wasn't Obama who killed him it was our Troops.  Yes I, and I'm pretty sure, the rest of the world knows this. I don't think I even heard Obama say he did Kill him so I'm not sure why that needs to be clarified. This is a huge victory for our Troops who are out there every single day fighting to keep us safe.  And for that I'm forever grateful.

Or to those saying why are we celebrating a death.  I say tell me what you think Bin Laden did on this day?

Do you think he sat and mourned those lost?  Felt bad for the Children who will never know their parent? I don't.  I think it was probably a day of celebration for him. He celebrated over 3000 deaths and I'm supposed to feel bad he died?  I think not. I'm not setting off fireworks and declaring a holiday but I am proud to be an American, especially today.  Justice has been served. In my opinion they should have done much worse to him.  But I believe he will get what is coming to him and its not the virginal women he thinks he's getting.  Good bye and Good Riddance. Today the world is a little bit brighter.

Okay... admittedly I'm not sure the war between friends has much to do with Disney But it sounds legit.  After finishing watching the Presidents amazing speech Jenn and I dueled it out. it was a tough war. But in the end I came out... defeated.  Jenn won with 1891 new words in an hour to my 1212.  Congrats JENN!!! it was a lot of fun and thanks for playing with me! I'll get you next time DUN DUN DUN!

Until next time lets stand united, One Nation Under God!

How is everyone else feeling about this past weekend?
