Everlasting Gobstoppers
Bloggers are not everlasting gobstoppers. Sure we change flavors faster than Violet Beauregard turned into a blueberry but eventually we run out of steam, or flavors if you were really into the analogy. At some point we have to stop tasting like bubble gum and cotton candy and be real- and by real I mean by this time we're probably tired, stinky and slightly haggered. Yum, you say I smell like teen spirit, I say I taste like haggered. Potato patato.
On one rainy blustery day, oh yeah- today, I was sitting at my picturesque window looking out and I just thought...
What the hell am I going to do? I hate my job.
I need to make money, well that was more of a period. I need to make money. Not the rich and famous kind, but the I don't want to eat top ramen and we have a goal to get out of debt plus, duh- I'm a grown up with grown up bills. Thank you $20k for an education that I don't use, but I get to proudly say- I'm a college grad- go me! Worthless. Except employers, no one cares if you went to college or not. That little piece of paper does not measure your worth and really... Some of the dumbest people I know are college grads- sorry guys.
So what now? ( and there I sat for about 38.6 minutes until I realized I was hungry and went out for seaweed snacks an chocolate ice cream. No joke. Don't judge me, I'm a woman of diverse tastes.)
#whatdoyoudowhenyouhatewhatyoudo? #firstworldproblems but this is my real problem... I just want to write. I just want to be heard. Do you think anyone would listen? Why don't we have spellcheck in real life?Do you think Debbie Downer is a real person? What would happen if she took uppers?
The great thing about this tiny corner of the world wide web, is that it is mine. All mine. Of course I want you to tag along for the ride, I mean... I've never met an audience I didn't like... but I get to call the shots here. I've decided to create Frank Fridays--- I'm going to say everything that's on my mind! No holds barred... Or whatever that saying is! It could be good, bad or ugly but I'm gonna just do it- because Nike said so.
So these are my ponderings for today. Are these the rantings of a vitamin D deficient woman in a sideways rainstorm with no thunder or lightening? Creeptastic, I feel ya. Well ...maybe. But these are definitely the thoughts of a woman who needs more out of life.
If you happen to know of any positions that pay based on awesomeness, creativity, Dr. Phil services or random spoutings of a twenty-something (yes, I still qualify- shut it), then let me know. I'm pretty sure I could make a pretty penny and look pretty fly for a white guy or girl doing it.
I hope you enjoyed your first Frank Friday! Peace out trout.
Until next time...

Are you ready for some football?!
Yes we are and today's the day! Preseason is upon us baby!!
Football season is upon us folks! Seahawks game days are special holidays in this household, even the pug participates! Can you see this?
I die from cuteness!
Have you ever heard of the 12th Man? Well, you should probably take note now of who "he" is. He is every single Seattle Seahawks fan- you, me, Grandpa Jo nevermind, that's Willy Wonka, , everyone! Did you know that Century Link Field, Home of the Seattle Seahawks, has had the highest average of false starts since 2005? Yeah- serious business! You can read more about this stadium that challenges the noise of a Boeing 747, here!
The 12th Man is serious. In Seattle, we may not have the biggest, baddest team that money can buy, but we will beat you in heart and noise every time! There is a 12th Man flag in the stadium, the Space Needle flies a 12th Man Flag and they even have their own jersey! Now, if you choose a 12th Man jersey instead of a player we might make fun of you *tourist* but we will applaud you when you bleed blue and green! Want to know more about our beloved 12th Man? Look no further!
In honor of the holiday football season commencing, my beloved Husband created a tailgating feast!
Fire-Grilled Artichokes inspired by Crockett's Public House as seen on the Food Network's Dinner, Drive-in's and Dives!
And of course no tailgating event would be complete with the Seattle Dog! This is no ordinary hotdog!
Seattle Dogs are comprised of a grilled bun, sauted/steamed onions, cream cheese (crucial) and the hot dog! These are especially good at tailgating events or after 1 am. Vendors can be found all around the Pioneer Square area or really outside any good bar or club.
Feeling adventurous? Add any one of these to kick up your Seattle Dog experience:
- Bacon - um, yes please!
- Jalepenos
- Ketchup/Mustard
- More onions
- Pepperchinis
The world is your oyster, er hotdog?, people! To infinity and beyond! All that jazz!
With our first win in the bag the 12th Man momentum is strong- feel free to jump on the bandwagon now!
Until next time... ca caw!
