Is it meth or is it crack
that causes you to awake us
at 5 a.m. in the morning
with bad Eurotrash house music?
Alas, one cannot unlock your mysteries.
As we pound on your door, as we push the ringer to your bell,
you answer not.
We can only leave a note.

What Keeps Me Up at Night
The neighbors upstairs, shuffling around, opening and closing things, walking loudly...sometimes fighting...but most times, just being too loud.
The hungry cat or dog.
The snoring of my husband.
The thought of work for the next day, things to do, how much I need to rest before so much...lol.
Dreams about past grievances, although not so much lately as I think I'm finally letting go of past things that caused such dreams.
Random thoughts. Weird, random thoughts.
Being horny.
Heartburn.
The thought of how much fun I'm going to have if I'm going on a trip or just planning a nice outing.
Being compulsively obsessed by the thought of how little sleep I'm going to get since I'm still up!
A great film or book.
Bom-chicka-wow-wow!
My Favorite Comfort Food
Macaroni and Cheese With Chicken May 14, 20101
Definitely mac and cheese...I adore noodles and I am a complete cheese addict! I had some recently up in Idaho Springs at the Tommyknocker Brewery/Restaurant and it was pure heaven--baked with smoked gouda and some bacon!!! Oh god, it's a heart attack on a plate for sure, but how can you resist, especially after a soak in some hot springs and a long work week? It was amazing.

Friend Numero Uno

My husband is my best friend. We have been through lots of good times and lots of bad times and he has been a great teacher, confidante, encourager, lover and supporter. I can't imagine my life without him and I am so lucky to have him. He is sweet and patient with me and I adore him!

The Worst Teacher I Ever Had
math professor x 4 = pure excitement
I had an anthropology professor in my early college days who ended up giving me a less-than-stellar evaluation on my final project for a women's studies class I was taking with her. While we'd meet on a regular basis to go over my work, during which she'd give generally positive feedback, the evaluation seemed to go completely against this earlier feedback. I wasn't sure if it was something I did, but I felt pretty taken aback by the 360 she did on me, and it just really made me feel stupid.
In addition to this professor, I had a writing professor whose creative writing workshops were somewhat competitive to enter. I was allowed in and again, I had regular advisor meetings with him about the work I was doing, but my final project evaluation, while not bad, was not as great as I'd like.
I feel like the behavior of these professors made it difficult for me to feel okay as a capable, creative-thinking adult. I am now determined to remove these blocks!

Would I Survive No Internet for a Whole Month?
I wouldn't be able to do this unless I was traveling in remote locations. I doubt there are many who can as it's such an integral part of our lives. Even if I was traveling, I'd want to be able to have access so I could blog as I traveled! If I couldn't, I'd maintain. I'd just have to have enough paper at hand to record my travels. ;)

My Weirdest Pet Peeve
No doubt, we've all had incompetent bosses...
Wishy-washy bosses who can't make decisions and who are influenced by the douche bags in the office. They also hold long-ass meetings (4+ hours for a weekly staff meeting) and give wishy-washy political replies, patronizing you by telling you what you want to hear, acting like they empathize. These spineless, limp "leaders" have no direction and set a new standard for incompetence!
