My name is LJ and I'm a clean-aholic

Hey, bloggers.

Here's today's dilemma::
I like to clean things.
Like, um, a lot.
I'm actually a SUPER messy person, deep down.  After the bachelorette pad gets all clean then it looks like a tornado hit it within a couple days.
But when I'm unhappy or stressed, I want to clean everything in sight.
There are some days that I clean the bachelorette pad (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, sanitizing everything in sight; the whole shebang) and then I do it all over again the next day for no real reason.  Or some days after I've finished cleaning pretty much everything, I try my darndest to find new things to clean.

There are 2 reasons that made me realize that this cleaning thing is a problem.

1. As you may remember, I started my new job on Monday.  I spent most of my shift cleaning things, which is fine by me and appreciated by my less-clean-loving coworkers.  But today, I caught myself thinking something along the lines of "I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow and clean the store some more..."  Dead serious.  And then I was all like::

 

 

2. The toaster.

 

This ^^^^^ is my toaster.

I bought it from Walmart for about $8 when I moved, before I realized that I don't really like toast and it was not a good idea to buy it.

I have used this toaster exactly twice.  Once for toast and once for a pop-tart.

I have probably cleaned this toaster about 8-10 times.

Wow.

I suck.



I should stop cleaning my feelings.

Thanks to the amazing 3 people who followed my Twitter today. :) {{especially @MariahMelena}}
I forgot I had it, but now I'm using it again.
So 10 awesome points go to anyone who follows @TheSeussProject on Twitter. :D

Mystery package in the mail

Hey guys.
How is your day?
Since I am not there to hear your response, I'm going to assume that your day is incredible.
I'm glad you're having an incredible day. :)
So am I.
My first day of work went well yesterday, and although I got home quite late (actually early in the morning) it was quite enjoyable.  I'm feeling less sick today, but instead of doing productive things I mostly did YouTube-like things.

But then:::: *cue dramatic music*
I received the mystery package.

My landlord brought a box down to my bedroom and said it had arrived just moments ago in the mail.  It was all taped up with Amazon logo tape, so I was quite confused because I haven't ordered anything from Amazon lately.
The following is what was inside that box::

 

A book full of yummy-sounding vegetarian recipes. :)

 





 

DVDs of The Ring and The Road to El Dorado. :)

 



 

And a whole ton of silly bandz and friendship bracelets. :):)

 

Now the stuff is fairly cool (especially all the bracelets) but I don't know where it came from.

There are two possibilities:

1. Someone hacked my Amazon wishlist and sent me random, medium-priority items from it,

OR

2. I am buying things in my sleep.  O.O

 

If it is #2, then that is SO BAD!!!!

Aahhhh!  How do you break a buying things in your sleep habit?

I dunno, but I sure don't have money for that sort of thing.

 

On the bright side, I have veggie corn dogs for dinner tonight. :D

Thank goodness for modern medicine

Good morning, blog readers!
Oh gosh, it's not morning.  I'm just bad at waking up on time so it feels like morning....

Today is the first day of my new job. (except I'm gonna be doing exactly the same thing that I did at my old job and the job before that...)  Hopefully it'll go well and nobody will think I'm a weirdo crazy person, ya know?
The worst part about starting my job today is that I'm still sick.  My voice was so friggin' ridiculous when I woke up this morning;;; I almost recorded it and posted it on here so all ya'all could here how funny I sound when I'm sick.
However, I was quite convinced that my new coworkers wouldn't think my sickie frog voice was as cool as I thought it was, so I drove to the grocery store and bought some DayQuil and Mucinex and those mad me feel way better.
Thank goodness for modern medicine.

So yesterday I was just laying around all day trying to get better, so I looked like crap and my whole bachelorette pad was messy and gross.  [[And I drank 13 cans of soda!!  Gross....]]  I was just hanging out in an old tank top and my undies cause I thought that nobody was home and it's not like I was getting out of bed too much.  But after a while I had to get some more tissues, so I went to my bathroom to grab a new box.  When I came out, there was a RANDOM HOT GUY IN MY BASEMENT!!!  And I freaked out.  I didn't know how he got there or if he broke in or if he knew my landlords or what.  And I was in my undies (not cute ones haha) looking like I got hit by the sickness train.  I had absolutely no idea what to do.
I had a deer-in-headlights moment, but after I recovered from the shock of it I ran back into the bathroom and pulled on some pajama pants.  Then I went back out and he explained to me that he was my landlords' grandson and that he was there to look at the water heater.  So I pretty much had a freakout for nothing, but still embarrassed myself pretty well.

Sickness and balloons

This is the fourth blog post I've written today, but the first one that wasn't a cheater blog post.
I feel like I've been blogging FOREVER!!  That's okay though, because I love you guys.

I am so sick right now!!  I get tummy-sick a lot, but I don't think I've had a regular old common cold in like 2 years.  So now that I'm all sneezy-coughy-stuffy-nosey, I don't know what to do!  I sure wish my mom were here to take care of me... dang adulthood.
When I moved to the bachelorette pad I went on a little freakout and bought myself enough stuff to fill a hospital (most of which I've never used) (my superhero Band-Aids are LEGIT) so I dug out some NyQuil and took some of that. 
Now since I don't get sick with colds and stuff, I can't remember the last time I had to take NyQuil so I really didn't know what it would do.  I've heard that it knocks you out pretty well, so I got all ready to sleep but then never got tired.  Instead it's just made me really slow and pretty stupid... like I was playing mahjong before I started blogging (cause I have no life :3) and I kept trying to match up tiles that didn't really match.  I don't know if being stupid is a real NyQuil side effect, but I'll have you know that stupid is in no short supply here today.
I think you're supposed to eat soup when you're sick but I don't have any so I've been eating lots of cereal.  I also ran out of bottled water so I've drank like 6 cans of Black Cherry Fresca.
I'm a failure as a sick person.

I start my new job tomorrow night, which I'm super excited/nervous for.  I'm really just hoping that I get better before I start work, because I know I'll be slow and grumpy if I'm still sick.  And I'd really like my new coworkers to like me and not think I'm a retard, ya know?

Things to do when I get better:
1. Clean bedroom
2. Do laundry
3. Wash dishes
4. Vacuum car
5. Homework
6. Stop sucking at life

Now that that list ^^^^ is published on the internet it will either
a) inspire me to do it, or
b) make me feel like more of a failure when I glance at this post a couple months from now and realize that I STILL have not vacuumed my car.


Here's a story for you::::::
Last friday I was in Brigham City visiting my parents, and after having a lovely lunch with my mom I got a text from my best friend ever Fatty Epic Fail asking me to come and save her from the torturous institution that is high school.  So I started driving down to the school to get her, but I took a bit too long and she was already in her 5th period class.  She was gonna do the old ask to go to the bathroom but actually leave forever thing but then the teacher wouldn't let her leave.  (Probably because Fatty's a notorious class-skipper.)
Fatty Epic Fail asked me to block my number, call the school, and pretend to be her mom saying that her aunt was in the hospital and that she needed to be checked out immediately.
I, however, have seen Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and I know how well all this worked out for them.  And since I have maybe 8% the luck that Ferris has, that stunt would most definitely end badly for me.
So I told her Mandi no, I would not lie about her dying aunt, but that I would instead come see her after 5th period.  This left me with 36 minutes to kill, so I was just driving around and enjoying the superior sound system of my parent's car.
Then I was suddenly struck with a fantastic idea:: I should fill Mandi's bedroom with balloons.
At first I didn't think I could do it in time, but after a couple minutes of wasted time I decided that trying to do something and failing was better than driving around and polluting the world for half an hour.
So I sped like a mofo to Walmart, which was like 3 miles away.  I jogged to customer service (I tried to sprint but my hat kept falling off :/) and told the lady there to fill random colored balloons with helium as fast as she could while I ran (jogged :/) to party supplies to get even more balloons.  I was only in the store for about 2 minutes, and I left with like 100 balloons.  (Mostly empty ones that I intended to blow up... I could only buy 10 helium-filled balloons because I guess there's a national helium shortage.)
Then I sped like a double-mofo to Fatty's house and blew up balloons like crazy!  I got really sick and light-headed, but I got like 40 balloons filled before Fatty got out of class.
Then I drove (badly, because I was still sick) to the school and pretended like nothing had happened, leaving Fatty Epic Fail to come home after school to a lovely surprise from her best friend ever.

Here's a picture of the finished project:: [[There are lots more that you can't see in the picture]]

Okay, so that story was more interesting in my head.. now that I wrote it all down it's kind of boring.  But yeah.  It's my blog so I'll write what I want.

Groundhog Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Groundhog Day!! :):):):)
I hope you all enjoy your early spring.
(Yeah this is another cheater blog post... sorry)

Personally I'm not really the holiday type.  My family doesn't make too big of a deal about birthdays and Christmas and things like that, and since pizzerias don't close too often then I usually end up working on most holidays.  Holidays just mostly seem silly to me (especially Saint Patrick's Day, but I'm not going to get on my soap box for that one.... YET.)
But I really like Groundhog Day.  I think that it's super legit and awesome that we have a holiday that is so random and childish and just super fun.  So, yeah.

You will all be happy to know that SPRING IS COMING EARLY THIS YEAR!!!!
While they were writing all about war and poverty and the national deficit and other imporant things, the Washington Post wrote up THIS SUPER INCREDIBLE ARTICLE RIGHT HERE about Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil not seeing his shadow.  So go read it... It'll make you smarter. :)

Punxsutawney Phil is, of course, the most legit and amazing groundhog of Groundhog Day, so if you click HERE you will find a fantastic infographic all about him and groundhogs in general.

Also at that website I found this picture::::

I dunno what any of you think, but I think that is dang creepy looking.
Doesn't that groundhog look like he's going to murder you in your sleep or something???
Wow.

So have a happy early spring, and don't forget to enjoy your life.

I am a liar :(

I have a confession.
I am a horrible person.
And a liar.

Here's the thing.  I first thought of doing BEDF (Read all about it by clicking this here link!) a couple weeks ago.  But then on Friday I was way busy.. I accidentally slept in and then had to hurry to shower and pack and drive the 73.3 miles from the bachelorette pad to my parent's house.  Then I was just busy all day, and in the evening I went to work at Brigham City Domino's and I didn't manage to get home until like 12:30 in the morning.  By then I finally noticed that I was supposed to write my first BEDF post, but by then it was February 2nd so I made an angry face and went to bed.

About half an hour ago I remembered the little schedule button thing.. one of the amazing things that Blogger has to offer.  It looks like this::

 



And at that moment I realized that I could cheat... that I could make it say that I'd posted on February 1st and 2nd and save BEDF from dying on its very first day.
So it's actually Sunday the 3rd of February that I'm typing this, however the blog post will say that this post was written on Saturday and my first one was written on Friday.

Dang honesty.  Well since the schedule button is awesome then I intend to use it to cover my shortcomings.  However, I will give you the LJ guarantee with this::
If I, for example, miss posting on February 16 and you visit my blog on Feb 17 and see that there is no post for the 16th yet, (therefore catching me before I can write a post and pretend I wrote it on the 16th) I will give you a special prize!!  Which I haven't thought of yet, but when I think of one I'll let you know.  But it'll be cool, trust me.
So, yeah.  If you happen to catch me cheating, then email me at theseussproject@gmail.com and I will hastily send you your prize.

I dearly hope that I get better at this and that I won't need to cheat any other times.
But I am a flawed person. :/

Have a super amazing Groundhog Day. :)

Blog post every day in February!! :D

Good morning, blog readers..
It is now officially February! :)
{{Why do we spell February like that??  Because I'm pretty sure that I have never pronounced the first R ever in my life..}}

To celebrate February, I've decided to write a blog post EVERY SINGLE FREAKING DAY!!!!

Lots of people do this with their blogs and vlogs, however many of them choose months like April or August because the acronym BEDA, for Blog Every Day in April/August/whatever month you're using, looks way better than BEDF.
So why February?
Because it's the shortest month. :)
I'm happy to be blogging again, but you all know how unambitious and failure-like I tend to be.

Google sent me to a lovely article that had this title:::::

I didn't read the article (however you can find it by clicking here) because I'm a horribly lazy person, but skimming it told me that this is going to be quite un-fun.

Hopefully, though, this will get me back in the habit of posting regularly.  And maybe it'll help me to be more creative and write less crap blog posts... I've noticed that I have lots of those.

Have a super fun February!
