New thing #1 and a (tiny) venting session.

My new thing last week was playing beer pong (though the cups were filled with water. Much less messier that way apparently) at a bar. I know it's nothing life changing but it was fun. And for once I was able to scream really loudly when I made a cup and no one minded because no one could hear me. It was kind of epic. What was also epic was that I successfully blew a ball out of a cup. That may make no sense to those of you who have never played beer pong before... But for the ladies who have you know what I'm talking about. And you know how epic it is. ;)

Now. Today I have been in a weird kind of mood. Not bad. I'm at work, of course, and it's busy. But not busy because people are actually coming in and buying books... No no, people are calling and asking me to find books. Which I'm normally fine with. Honestly. I enjoy talking on the phone. However, when I have a huge project I should be working on and instead I have to look up 6 books that someone is too lazy to look up online or come in and ask for our help personally I get a little disgruntled. Just a little. Enough that every time I answer the phone I want to say, "Thanks for being too lazy to actually visit the store. What do you want?" I don't, obviously, because I'd like to keep my job. And again, usually I don't mind. But after awhile I think it just starts to get annoying.

I just needed to vent really quickly on here. Because now I have two hours to get these projects done... And I'm slightly freaking out about it. So wish me luck!

And if I spelt anything wrong or grammatically screwed up... Forgive me..........Im on my phone. Thanks. Ciao.

52-Week Challenge


My fish doesn't like me.  I've been told beta fish are fickle like that.  Mr. Darcy seriously doesn't like me though.  Don't know why.  I gave him a castle for crying out loud.  No one's given me a castle.
I watch him do his exercises about his tank... swimming up, down, backwards, forwards.  If I had his dedication I'd be down to a size six by now.  Not that he has much else to do.  Maybe that's why he's always pissed.  But I still love him just the same.  Even when he hides from me and doesn't eat.  He'll come around eventually.  Either that or die.  I really hope he doesn't die.  That wouldn't go over well with me.

Moving on.  I recently, like five minutes ago, read two blogs by two of my closest friends: Cynthia and Megan.  They were both titled: 52-week Challenge (haha kind of like mine...).  Now, seeing as both of these lovely ladies are two of the most inspiring women I know I figure... what the hey.  I'll jump on this challenge bandwagon.  

What is it?  
It pretty much requires me to do something new every week for the entire year.  So by the end of the year I will have done 52 new things.  As Cynthia said, "They can be as simple as trying a new food for the first time or as exciting as sky diving."  That's literally what she wrote.  I just copy and pasted.  I'd be all for sky-diving by the way.  Just throwing that out there.  
Why?  
Because I figure a) I'm not going to be getting any younger.  b) It will hopefully get me out of my comfort zone at least a few times.  and c) Why not?  Who knows how I'll grow and what I'll learn from these new experiences.  I'm excited.
When is it?
Every week silly! And I'll be updating you as my 'new' things occur.  I have absolutely no idea what they will entail.  But I think I might start making more lists... just to be ready.

Those are all the W's you're getting.  So now my new year's resolutions have grown to 8 things now.  I'm giving myself till January 15 to finalize them all.  More lists!  I have an issue.  

I must get ready for work now.  Have a simply fabulous day and God Bless!
