A Formal Complaint

Cleveland, you stink! Not only do you smell bad in the literal sense (especially during Summer), but you also stink as a town that offers care and comfort to its inhabitants.

Case in point. It is Spring. The calendar says so. In fact, it's been Spring for almost three weeks now. Last Tuesday you graced us with a record high of 80 degrees. We rejoiced. We wore shorts. We packed our Winter clothes. We basked in the returning sunshine. And now this. WHAT IS YOUR DEAL? Two feet of snow and still falling? Are you crazy? This is Easter! My nephews had to hunt for eggs inside this year, because you just had to inflict us with your crazy weather patterns. (Is this global warming? Then why isn't it warm?) We missed four Indians games because of you (although, it probably just saves us the embarassement of losing.) and now we have to crawl into work on a Monday morning in SPRING! wearing the coats and boots we moth-balled when you teased us with warm weather.

It's just sickening.

And to think, I was about to take my Christmas tree down!

Monday Madness (Word Puzzle)

Since Friday's puzzle had everyone stumped - or just sleeping - I'm posting an easier one for a Monday:

Monday Madness (Word Puzzle)

I was sick last week and failed to produce the word puzzles given to me for Friday Fun Day. Forgive. I am better now and proudly present two puzzles for your amusement, compliments of Worldgineer:



Puzzle 1





























Puzzle 2

How cold was it?

Last night the temperature in Cleveland dipped to a chilly -19ºF (that's -28ºC). Right now on a Monday morning, we're bristling with a sunny, but chilly 1ºF.



Why!?! Winter, why? *breaks down crying*

Monday Mayhem

Weird. You ever wake up and find things have moved around you without you having any recollection of moving them? This morning when I finally awoke, my bedside table clock was on the covers beside me and the lid on my chapstick was off and the chapstick was standing vertically on the table. I don't remember completing any of those actions.

Not as good, apparently, as a co-worker who on Friday woke up wearing a completely different outfit than the one she went to bed in.

Has this ever happened to you? Are these the early stages of sleep walking?

cop to mondays

Just shy of being able to care about punctuation and spelling this saggy monday. Rolled out of bed like a cowboy's cigarette: one end unstuck. Opaque brain wobbled to the office with a coffee in hand that proceeded to shake me to my core. Deduction: no caffeine for woozy people.

Inapropriate amount of emotional energy for simple tasks. People repeat wordless conversations around me. I stare blankly and occasionally smile. Babble on about new nephew to anyone who will listen. I'm not even listening.

Haunted by crazy kitten dreams from last night's bed laying. Waiting for redemption in the form of a stiff breeze or a hug or a week asleep on my back where dreams can't touch me.

Don't even care that it's monday.

But it is.

Motivator Monday

Here's a little help (albeit a bit late in the day) to help us all on a slow Monday to get crack-a-lackin' on those tasks we've put off since before the weekend:

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.
David Harold Fink

One of the strongest characteristics of genius is the power of lighting its own fire.
John W Foster

Make sure you visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.
Jerry Gillies

Instruction does much, but encouragement does everything.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The best morale exist when you never hear the word mentioned. When you hear a lot of talk about it, it's usually lousy.
Dwight D Eisenhower

Dance Dance Baby

Monday is a good day for dancing!

An Old Baseball Gag

Saw the Indians play (badly) last night with my boyfriend and other friends. We lost the game, but this clip is still funny. Have a great Monday morning.

The Very Thought of You

No, I'm just singing cause I'm tired out of my head and facing down another Monday I don't want.

*hits snooze on blogger*

Happy Monday everybody!
