Things I'm thinking or thinking about

I haven't been very interested in writing a new blog entry for the past few days.

Incase anyone noticed...
awkward.

But, since Erin just wrote a really cute entry in her blog, and it's been 5 days since my last post, I'm taking initiative and writing an entry.

You might say "But Becky, is it REALLY 'initiative' if you're writing in your OWN blog, and not actually doing something useful for society?'.

My response: 'My blog is useful for society'.
Things I'm thinking or thinking about

1) Where is my carmex lip gloss/cold sore/why are my lips falling apart tube that I bought this morning? No seriously, where is it? I'm turning around in my desk chair (so comfortable. but that's besides the point), reaching down to the ground to look in my purse and it's nowhere to be found. Not to mention the fact that when I reach down to the ground (rhyme) for my purse, all the blood in my body rushes to my head and I end up getting flushed. I don't like getting flushed. Gross.

2) I don't like wide screen computer monitors. A few weeks ago, if you recall, I was given a flat screen, W I D E monitor at work. Overall, this has been a good experience for me. The flat screen monitor allows me more desk space, and is better for my eyes (or so I thought when I first got it). GREAT. Except, it's so...W I D E. It stretches everything and makes it look...W I D E. And, if you try to fix this, and make things less wide, or "normal" looking, the computer smushes everything in and makes it smaller. And then you have to, according to Ira, press 'control and +' at the same time to make your icons/font bigger. But then I just tried that and it didn't work. So now my eyes actually HURT more than when I had the big, carbon emitting, bus-size monitor. But I can't wear my glasses right now because I'm wearing a headband.

And when I wear my headband with my classes they smush together and hurt my head. And it might seem more important for me to wear my glasses...
But that's not my style.

3) I have to pee. In fact, I'm feeling so ADD and so PEE-y right now that I'm considering forwarding my calls for a minute and going to the ladies. But, if I get up to go to the bathroom, then I'll want to get some water too, and I'll probably open facebook and play another round in Scramble...

4) Well, I just went to the bathroom. I really had to go! I guess the only person who really loses is me....

5) What should I get at Trader Joes? Actually, are we even going to Trader Joes? Debbie? Are you reading this? Trader Joes? Well, if we go, or WHEN we go (let me be optimistic here),
I wonder what I should get....

Maybe something like:
frozen mango, edamame (if they have it again), cheese, crackers, frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, something Indian.

6) Why is it taking me so long to write this? I am SO distracted! I'm listening to people talk, eating Pez, getting water, making corny jokes...
STOP.
7) Maybe I should do a sudoku. Ugh. (see above)

8) Maybe I should move to Union Square. I feel like I'm there EVERY DAY. Sunday I was. Monday I was. Today I'm going (see above-Trader Joes). Might just make sense for me to move there.

I'm going to end this on a more thoughtful note. SERIOUSLY I AM!

8) So, Saturday night, when I was hanging out with Kate, she mentioned this um...article or...um...book she read. I'm a really great listener. Anyway...
In the...um...article/book/poem/blog/e-mail, the author mentions the fact that poverty is a world issue. And how if WE, like...YOU and ME...gave up some of our disposable income we could fix poverty. So, if I didn't go to the movies this weekend (I'm actually not planning on going to the movies this weekend. It's just an example), and gave my $10 to the UN or to the entire continent of Africa, or Asia, or Latin America or North America etc. then I could help eliminate poverty. Or, if I really just lived on the bare necessities, and didn't shop on the weekends, or go out to dinner, or for drinks, or to concerts, I could hand over ALL my excess money to fight poverty and the world would be a better place.


Is it my responsibility to do that? Maybe not. But why do I deserve to have money and be comfortable when other people are starving? I know the world isn't fair but...
On the other hand, I really like shopping.
I might be a horrible person.

BYE!
