Funny names

Here are some names I've come across over the last few months that still make me laugh:

Phat Ho
Christian Tramp
Dick Wiggle (OK, so his real last name was Wigle, but in my version, he'd spell it with two g's)
Dr. Weiwei (and he's a urologist, of course!)
Dr. Doubledee (think he has man boobs?)

There have been others, so if I can remember them, I'll be sure to share my sophomoric humor with the rest of you in a later post. ;)

Ergo

So I got a new ergodynamic setup at work. I've never been in so much pain! Why can't I just slouch all the time? Now I have to be all prim and proper and 90-degree-angley! :)

I don't have any of my usual muses on life to share with you today. I'm a little down, but there's some old school rap on the radio and I'm going to just dance my way back up! "Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn . . ."

_SOON_

My grandmother has always put the pressure on me to go to church. Therefore, I made sure to send her some of my new business cards and let her know I am now working for a Catholic organization. Sure, it's not the same as going to church, but I was happy I could at least share with her the mission of my new company.

Here's what Grandma wrote back to me on this year's Easter card: "Your business cards are great! I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new position. Also - I hope you end up marrying a Catholic doctor. I would love to hear that soon."

You all don't know my grandma, but she's totally serious. No joking from that woman. And the emphasis under the word "soon" is all her's. I'll see what I can do, Grandma!

Found it!

I finally found a triathlon to replace the one I originally wanted to do! http://www.uswts.com/wa/welcome.htm

It's perfect -- still an all women event, it supports a cause I can get behind, and it's not until September, which means I still have ample time to get ready! The distances for the Super Sprint are pretty short, so I don't think it will be a huge problem. Yipeee!!! I signed up for it today!!

Don't tell me I can't . . .

Ever notice that when someone tells you that you can't do or think something, that you then can't help but do or think it anyway? Put me in a Catholic church and tell me to think holy thoughts, and I can promise you that I'll be thinking anything but! I read on someone's blog today that one shouldn't write about what they eat for lunch on their blogs ('cuz it's darn boring!). That's grand advice, except that as I was eating lunch today, all I could think about was blogging my thoughts on consumption. And the author was right -- they were boring thoughts. But I'm going to write about lunch anyway today:

Noodles from TJ's -- needed meat included.
Edamame -- ummm, where's the salt? HATE having edamame without enough salt on them.
Diet Coke -- why, oh why, can't they have Pepsi products downstairs?!

OK, I'll never write about my lunch again. But I won't make any promises about what I'll think about in church . . . :)
