Illuminati

I feel sometimes that I am psychic.  Today I was in a certain order working on it when an Outlook emailed popped up from logistics person asking about same exact order/Po that I was working on.  I had mentally said to myself that I would have to contact logistics to find out more about this order but he emailed me instead. How ironic or did he pick up my mental note? (which by the way he is 900 miles away so it wasn't like we were in the same building)
I often wonder if the significance of my Mom being born in 1933 (double digits) and me being born in 1966 (again double digits) has any numerology significance. I know that if I had been born four days earlier my birthday would be 6-6-66.  And Mom did tell me that I was late coming out of the womb -I had some funky white patina over me. I know this year being a double digit year is suppose to mean something. I imagine if Rick was born one day earlier he would have been 11-11. Weird random thoughts

Songs that make me think of certain people

I had put on FB that I was listening to 80's music this past weekend and it is funny how certain songs make me think of certain people.  First came Madonna and "Lucky Star".  I mentally can see Judy on the NBHS 1984 pep squad do her routine and I know the opening cue music to shake my imaginary pom poms to.
Then Van Halen "Jump" came on.  I had this pseudo crush on kid that lived next door to my sister.  It was more because he was a boy and I was a girl and that he actually spoke to me than a true crush.  I remember him playing Van Halen and thinking he was so cool. 
Then there is "I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more just to be the man to walk a thousand miles and see you at your door...dar-dar-da"  along with "Come on Eileen" are songs that once you hear them....you can't get them out of your head.  I picture Mike Ventura singing "Fish Heads Fish Heads rolly polly Fish Heads".  I also remember kid who danced so good in high school do a Michael Jackson dance to "Beat It" at our Jr. Prom. 
I wonder what song people hear and think of me?  "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"?  Probably but that is okay with me.

Procrastination....not this year

My first sign that I am doing "okay" on my New Year's resolution is that I sent my sister her birthday card early.  Not just a day early, but a year early.  I thought it was her 50th birthday so I went to Hallmark.com and sent her an e-card.  Then I saw how you could attach a gift card and got my birthday shopping done too. This was all completed within ten minutes a day earlier than her birthday.
Now I am renewed to think that Hallmark.com will be my best friend this year for birthday cards.  I just have to remember whose, when and how old they are.

Resolution to blog more -Hahahahahahahaha

I have a few faults.  Yes only a few. One of the biggest faults, other than my hefty size, it my procrastination.  It leads to a few things falling by the wayside that I should of completed at the moment I thought of it.  I also could write it down so that I won't forget to accomplish the task.  I did give myself a big slap on the back for getting the family Christmas presents out before Christmas.  Of course, it came at a price.  I had to stand in line for 45 minutes on "THE BUSIEST DAY" at the post office, December 20th.  I did get the packages out and that was my fault (procrastination) for waiting that long.  I did order a few gifts online and did not have to pay any "overnight" fees for getting the gifts there quicker. 
So my New Year's resolution is to be quicker with my Hallmark birthday cards, get gifts in the mail before nieces and nephew birthday and to try to make sure all my bills get  paid before their due dates.
