My irritating traits

infuriated
signs say 10 items or less
instead of fewer

line everything up
random OCD nut job
always counts the steps

fanatic food snob
picks apart each recipe
worships Julia Child

huge shoe obsession
20 pair this year alone
don't put them away

snore, talk, laugh and hoot
yes, even hoot in my sleep
don't dare wake me up

laugh at my own jokes
especially unfunny
yes, I crack me up

milk - foul white substance
must be drunk first day opened
throw it down the sink

great at backgammon
crap at cards -- does a full house
beat a royal flush?

stubborn to a fault
stick to my guns way too long
world is black and white

I suck

Damn -- I missed the mark
Tried to write one every day
short by eleven.

Down to checking the front door lock twice

double lock checking
hmm, Am I getting better
or have a death wish?

HR woman

horrible woman
unbending on all the rules
my new job hates me

dirt transferral

weird that cleaning things
makes you get dirty instead
kind of ironic

stumped

One haiku a day
originally seemed smart
harder than it looks!

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Peace tranquilty
smooth cool sheets on a hot night
Who doesn't love home?

Ode to Ice Cream

Fresh Frozen sweet cream
chocolate, cherry, vanilla
too bad it hates me

HR Envy

Proofreading handbooks
Leading the glamorous life
Bet you're all jealous

fry faux pas

sweet potato fries
crave salt to balance crispness
they don't need sugar

Lost in FL

No doubt I got lost
exits grown over with green
Florida's a trip

Sunday

woosh weekend sails by
too brief respite from chaos
back into the fray

1/2 full or empty? -- what? How come you got a glass??

Best part of the day
underwire snapped, sharp stabbing
all downhill from there

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

argh!

Just sound of my phone
eye twitches, pass me the Tums
Lord -- what is it now!

silliness

Don't change your leopards
in mid stream or count the spots
love mixed metaphors

Thanks to Watership Down


Rabbit on the moon
I have never seen the man
watership down rules

Purging the old cube

shame shame shame on me
such a terrible pack rat
3 hours to clean desk

bittersweet purging
happy memories of success
laughing with my friends

oh wait.....hated the cube
noisy, cold -- no space to think
good new beginnings

If wishes were horses....

star light, star bright wish
preserve things just as they are
happy as I am

week 1 new job

humiliation
just wanted to rest my eyes
fast asleep at 8


(my stupidity
posting this on the wrong blog
I blame exhaustion)

Missing Him.

Misty-eyed mystery
floored by a simple kind word
always chokes me up

I'm not usually a zombie

Scary zombie dreams
Get bit and you become one
Too much time with me

:)
