A list of Random Musings

Reader, I'm sitting here at my keyboard, achy, pms-ing, and not really knowing quite what to write to you about tonight.  Perhaps I'll just tell you everything.  Or, I'll make like a Facebook note and tell you:

Thirteen Things You Probably Never Needed To Know About The Odd Broad

1.) I am surprisingly bitter about the most random of things lately.  I've even tried to burn a few bridges, though I'm not sure the intended recipients were paying attention so it didn't count. 

2.) I'm pissed that Hosea won Top Chef. 

3.) For the first time in my life I'm considering joining a gym.  Hopefully I won't catch a staff infection.

4.) I'm still coming to terms with turning thirty.  Sometimes I think I'm having a mid-life crisis.

5.) My hard earned, pristine credit score was recently shat upon because the people at ACS are heartless, soulless sons of bitches.  Damn you, student loan debt and all your evil minions!  Damn you to the hottest crevices of Hell!  (Satan's ass?)

6.) Today Hubby purchased a Wii Fit.  I have been consistently and passionately lobbying against the Wii for quite some time now, mainly because I am tired of listening to everyone gush about how wonderful and entertaining it is.  For that matter, the same goes for reading the Twilight series, although I'm shockingly close to opening that can of worms. 

7.) I thought the Oscar's were really interesting this year.  Did you?  Granted, the Baz Luhrmann musical extravaganza made me a bit nervous, but overall I could appreciate what he was aiming for.

8.) I don't like it when people think ill of me.  And yet two weeks ago, I was on the phone with my grandmother and made a semi-derogatory (but necessary) comment about one of my uncles and then heard him say, "You're on speakerphone, Sarah."  Creepiest.  Moment.  Ever. 

9.) I got my hair dyed on Saturday.  Not because I wanted to, but because I had to.  I have crossed a new threshold and now there's no turning back.

10.) Hubby wrote something so sweet on my Valentine's card that I keep sneaking back to re-read it again and again.  Eleven years together and the guy still gives me butterflies.

11.) Sometimes I think Hubby and I aren't going to have children.  At least not any time soon.  But this morning I pressed my snooze alarm for a total of thirty minutes because I didn't want to stop having the dream about the dark haired little girl whom I was feeding tiny bits of Trader Joe's freeze-dried mango to.  I pressed that snooze button until nearly eight o'clock, just so I could keep on dreaming.  Go figure.

12.) I want a vacation.  I need a vacation.  Alas, we're too poor to go on vacation.  And so I drink.

13.) Hubby's breaking in the Wii right now and I'm kind of scared he's going to accidentally swipe me in the head.

Happy Friday Dear Reader xoxo

- Hey Sah, try 31 on for size (well I turn that in Sept ) yuck; I concur with the hair dye - it's becoming necessary and not just for fun, so sad! Scott and I are 10 years and he's sweet, I mean sometimes we are just gross but we still make people sick; The WII, it's good but gets boring; and vacation, we're poor so I am killing myself working OT to go one 2 this year so I can pray, have kids before I become SUPER high risk (isn't that crazy all the peeps with babies we know?)
Love, Jen

[the odd broad]

Jen, I miss you! And I hear you! Glad there is someone out there who commiserates with me. The hair dyeing thing just freaks me out. I used to yank them, but it's becoming exhausting! I really hope you guys go on vacation- you deserve it, you work so hard!! xoxo

[Jenna]

First of all, what the hell would you even do at the gym? Next, I am coming over to play Wii immediately. Also, You have to read Twilight, please!!! Lastly, stop worrying so much! xoxo

hey sah
its tam. and i have to say, since my eyes have been opened to odd broad i am so impressed with your writing and totally look forward to it and am addicted to it.
let me tell you, having kids is wonderful but overrated :) actually, the baby stuff is overrated. but my girls are 6 and almost 8 now and i have more fun than i have ever had. they are a blast and we laugh all the time. what is stopping you? i hope not finances. because nobody will ever have enough money to have kids. but where this is a will there is a way.
and dont bother with the gym. you would be stirring a pot of bitterness. you are one of those naturally skinny girls that once you walk in all the fat chicks will automatically hate and constantly snare (is that a word?) at you. making you feel terribly uncomfortable and therefore you wont go back and you will be paying a monthly membership to hell.
and hell if you get to dye your hair now, think of it as a life experience, go blonde, red, black. the world of color belongs to you babe....
miss you

I hate ACS too!!!!! Bastards.

[Kathleen]

You HAVE to read Twilight. I am reading the Monsters of Templeton right now because of you...and I really like it! I'm almost finished so now you need to read Twilight because of me...I guarantee you will LOVE it!

P.S. F the gym! That place is only for overweight chicks like myself...and we don't need any more skinny girls hogging the treadmill! :-)

Oh Weinus!
If only we could weave the space, that's what's needed!

I'm pissed about Hosea too!
30? Not me! Why? Because I've been dressing like a teenage girl/Lindsay Lohan lately. Crisis? I think so!
I also managed to ruin my cousin's 40th b-day by getting into a wrestling match w/ her 17yr old son.

At the moment I could use a chix cesar wrap & a colt 45 like the old days......miss you!

Cheer up cause' you're not alone!

You can't be truly having a mid-life crisis unless you're planning on having your life suddenly snuffed out at the ripe ol' age of sixty.

ACS are evil credit-ruining bastards. I. Hate. Them. (and their crappy website too!)

[the odd broad]

I'm glad to see there are others out there who share my hatred for ACS!!!! Just thinking about them gets me worked up into a mad frenzy!

Kathleen, I promise to read Twilight! For reals. I have it in my possession. Did you finish "Monsters" yet? Did you love it? I hope she writes another book!

Tam, thanks for the advice. Your girls are beautiful- of course they are, they look exactly like you! Miss you too, let's see each other soon now that I'm back!

Weiner, we do need a dance session! I have to tell you, every time I hear "Sweet Escape" I feel terribly sad. Hope the Super Sunday Session is a blast. Sing one for me, I'll be there in spirit, drinking way too much white wine!

Marc, I was going to write "quarter life crisis" only I realized that will mean I live to be 120! Looks like I'm going to have to do some math to figure out what kind of a crisis I'm actually going through. :)

[Marc]

That, and you also realized that you'd be rehashing a really wussy lament from John Mayer on a day where he was significantly testosterone-challenged.

[the odd broad]

Does John Mayer really sing a song about having a quarter life crisis??

[Marc]

Yup. In the song, "Why Georgia". Maybe he actually overheard it from you in the dining commons and stole your phrase. Looks like you have some royalties coming your way.
