Today was a lazy day. I slept in. Late. REEEAALY late. Like two in the afternoon late. didn’t quite mean to. I set the alarm for like 10 - then turned if off thinking I wouldn’t sleep to much longer anyway. Four hours later I wake up cause I gotta potty. Oh well, I guess I needed the sleep, or something. The dreams were pleasant though. I love dreaming. My dreams are always very vivid. I can usually remember some part of them even hours after I’ve been awake. I sometimes wish I’d have a journal and write them down as soon as I wake up….

…. I am watching a TV show called “Pregnant for 46 years.” This is trippy.  I am sucked in and cannot think to write anymore. This woman, apparently, had a tubal pregnancy that lasted 46 years. I keep picking up the remote to fast forward.  I love shows like this. Medical mysteries.  I’ve been watching lots of shows lately about multiple births. Like two different shows about sextuplets and quadruplets.  (The ones that as babies were on Americas Funniest Home videos - four giggling babies.) Ugg. It’s another commercial for “17 Kids & counting.”  I think the Duggers are insane. They have 18 children. It’s creepy.  They must have some sort of pregnancy fetish. I mean, some of the kids have the same birthday. Years apart, but the same birthday. I think they need to stop making babies now….

…oh the show’s back on. Till tomorrow.

I am beat. I walked way too much last night. I did get an excellent video out of it though! (if I do say so myself!) There ended up being 4 of us, and we went into all 6 haunted houses! I will write more proper of an entry tomorrow. Today I rested and edited this video.

Husband and I watched the debates last night. I hollered at Gov Palin’s crap a couple of times, but for the most part I kept it in check. I mean, she can’t hear me anyway. She’s awful though. I won’t even go into all the reasons here. Partly cause I get too heated, and partly cause I just don’t care. That wasn’t a debate though, so I refuse to say which person “won.” All they did was talk to camera/moderator/crowd.

I am in limbo about work today. I got a call at nearly 8am saying to not come in until they call. I’d rather they just said NOT to come in, or come in at XX time. Rather than just to wait for a call. But Cest La Vie. I have the day off today. I just finished doing my hair n makeup, and the magic sound rang out with an email. (The sound is actually the word magic.) Horray, now I can spend the day finishing my UDPP video. One last clip to film/edit and then I think it’s done.  (Oh, and to add music.) Plus, I can do some deep cleaning. An actual person is coming to my home today. Because…..

Tonight I am going to Busch Gardens. We’re going to Howl O Scream with some other YouTubers. One I’ve met, and at least one I’ve not met. Shelly and Thor. Husband is going to, and we’re both really looking forward to it. I haven’t been to a haunted house since high school - and now we’re going to a whole event. Good thing I’ve decided I liked being startled. Still not sure how I feel about scared though! lol I am more nervous about going through the houses/creepy things than meeting strangers! I am excited about meeting new people, AND getting to spend time with people I already KNOW I like!

I got up early today. I set my alarm for 6:05am. I always do like an hour’s worth of snooze button mashing before I get up. Even still, I was up about 7am. (Again with heart burn, but that’s another post.) Had my usual morning, coffee with sugar & creamer. And sat down at the laptop.

And surfed. And Surfed. And fffing surfed!

I was browsing Archive.org for JUST the right clip to use today for a TAR video.  I had one, and downloaded two more, and now the video base is ready. Tonight when I get home I’ll finish editing and then render/post. It’ll give me something to do, during the debates.  I haven’t been feeling very creative, so I put just decided to really put my head into it today, and it worked! (I hope.)  I’m doing sort of a “Ruthie Show” in short format for a video - with vintage film clips.

I ALSO, whoo hooo an also, found some clips to mashup with a song called “Under her Dress.”  But that’s another post.

There are so many things I love about October.  I can’t even name them all in one post, THAT’S How much I love October.

So because of my serious love for October, I am going to make a blog post, every, single Day! That’s right - I said it. A post a day!

This post is totally being posted late - i reserve the right to do that. Also, this post is totally a request for you people to poke me to post. Use twitter, use email, use gmail. Just send me a message once a day saying - did you post?! :-)  Let’s think of it as a team effort. Loves you!

Ruthie

One year ago today, I was sure the job I was in was temporary. I am still there. Doing the exact same thing - albeit for 25 more cents an hour. I was sure work here and then find something more in line with my training, or at least my likes. I had a few interviews but they went no where. (Except for the job from hell.)

When I started working here I was still dealing with the aftermath of being going through an abuse investigation and quiting the only real job I’d ever had. I went a whole month without work, and took this job the day I interviewed for it. The people are nice, and they pay me, and that never complain when I take (unpaid) sick days. (Which is nice, cause with no health insurance I take a lot of those.)

I just look back over the last year, and think. “This isn’t temporary. This is your life.” I am a 30 year old woman, with a college degree, working in a mind numbingly boring, dead end and barely over minimum wage job. It’s why I’m having such a hard time of things lately. I guess I just thought things would be different. And that they’re not. I can’t deal. It’s why I’m not making vidoes, it’s why I’m not blogging. It’s why I don’t want to keep a record. It was bad enough the first time around. I don’t feel like documenting it again.

We watched the entiertiy of the debates. The twitter #current feed was more entertaining. McBush is the same Same, and has a scaier VP than Dick.  Neither really won, and that’s a dissapointment. I think the Biden / Palin debate will be fun though. Woot woot for Thursday Nite.

Our AC is out. We’ve resorted to using fans in the windows. It’s not Hot, just very warm. We’re still waiting for the apt to come fix the water in the upstairs bathroom, and now we get to add this to the list. Super. I want to go stand in the shower and cool myself all the way off, then sleep with a fan pointed right at my wet head all night. That’s probably not a good idea is it?

I spent the day resting. I got up at the usual time, but took at least three naps. I am very sleepy again, but I am feeling much better. Not queasy or anything. Should be a nice day at work - a Friday - then two days off to cement this wellness.

I want to bake something. I want to make some cookies, or a cake of some sort. I also want to make some sort of fancy chicken - or eggplant pasta.  Can you tell I’ve watched a lot of the Food Network today?

I’ve also been watching CCN. McCain “suspending” his campaign, is a joke.  It reeks of political manipulation. Didn’t he just say the other day that the fundamentals of our economy are strong? I want to see a debate Friday night.  The show must go on, so sayeth the Queen.

I think that I need to do one of my set posting sprees again! Maybe make it start today.  Today I am sick. It’s been not fun. It started about noon - started to get reaaaaly sleepy, and then after lunch I started to get queasy. About 2:30 I Started to feel REEEEEALY queasy, and then around 3 I went and made a rapid visit to the restroom.  I will spare you the details, but I left work and immediately went home. I then came home, changed clothes - taking a short 10 min nap on the bed - and sat down on the couch. My husband made me some chicken soup, and got me some crackers and I started to feel much better. I drank some OJ and then immediately started to feel sickly again. I laid back and next thing you know it’s 2 hours later. I feel all right, but still qeasy. I hope this is a one day thing, and not the first day of a long thing.

p.s. keep thinking good thoughts for my new and my JayOhBee. It would be an awesome career change - allow me to work from home AND do some nifty things to my income! All those gas savings! Whoo

I am trying to find a way to follow my subscriptions.  YouTube has changed the way it’s subscription page works. Now I cannot see the names of who posted the videos. Just the Titles, and the thumbnails, (that are not right click able.) Boils down to, I have to visit each page individually to see if that person posted any new vidoes.  I am subscribed to 281 people.  Grr. I wanted to try the Firefox extension, Sage - but it doesn’t make sense to me.  I want something un-connected with my Gmail account.  I dun know what to do.  At this post I don’t like spending time on YouTube.  It’s sad. No wonder everyone is addicted to BlogTv.
