Angst Girl

Day Four of the experiment:
Things for which I’m thankful today:
 
* A couple friends from the Evil Empire took me out to lunch today to make sure I was doing ok and have a few laughs. They told me that there are a couple things that went wrong that wouldn’t have happened if I was still there [...]

Day Three of the experiment:
I have this really great, comfy, soft recliner that I love, love, love. There’s finally been a turn in the weather and, after experiencing a warmer than usual week last week, we’re starting to get more seasonal weather this week. I’m not much for extreme heat or humidity so I was [...]

Day Two of the experiment:
I just got off the phone with a very good friend (best friends since 5th grade!) and I’m all jazzed up. She wanted help brainstorming for an idea she had; she wants to find something that she enjoys doing and that other people need and will pay her for. With the [...]

A little while back I made a commitment to myself to post something positive every day for the 40 days prior to my 40th birthday. I am doing this to help me focus more on the positive side of things and I think doing it every day for 40 days will help me make a [...]

** I don’t really get David Blaine. A few years back I saw him doing some amazing illusions and I was fascinated (I love a good mystery). But now he’s just doing these weird stunts and I don’t really get it. I mean, more power to him if he wants to test the limits of [...]

I haven’t really been spending my time making up stupid jokes about Wal-Mart. I actually have been finding ways to help people recover from the flood that ravaged my city in June.
 
I just saw this video today and I would really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to watch it. It’s very important to me [...]

I have finally decided that I’m sick of not having cable/satellite TV, especially now that I have all kinds of free time on my hands. In the last few years the free TV shows have steadily gone down hill. It seems like, as the cable stations started to create more and more really good shows, [...]

Lately I’ve had a lot of free time on my hands. And just what, pray tell, has Julia been doing with all this glorious free time? Why, coming up with MILLION DOLLAR IDEAS, of course!
 
Here’s my latest:
 
I have the perfect marketing plan if Wal-Mart ever decides to change their image. They could begin hiring really [...]

Everyone I know who has kids is raising them to be respectful, kind, polite humans. This is not true of everyone in the world. For example:
 
My mother and her neighbor have driveways that are side by side (this is NOT a good architectural choice in case you’re wondering, but that’s neither here nor there) but the neighbor’s [...]

I saw my very first James Bond movie this weekend. I’ve seen little bits and scraps from a few Bond movies but never more than 5 or 10 minutes before now. They just never seemed to really capture my interest well enough to devote any time to watching one.
 
My verdict: Eh. I didn’t hate it [...]
