True, I am in the single person demographic. As such, I’m not surprised when I receive an email a day from Match.com. I’m not into the whole online dating scene. Just not my thing. I’ve never visited the site or solicited services – that I know of. Sometimes my computer likes to click on links on its own. That can get me into a lot of trouble.

Halloween 2012
I like Halloween. At least, I like the escapism aspect of being somebody else for the day. Not really into the gory and scary themes. This is what I dressed as for work today.

In case you’re wondering, I’m a tourist. Yes, that is a funny expression on my face. I was in the middle of asking, “Do I have to be in the picture by myself?” when she clicked. The next picture she took I had a cowboy accompany me.
And yes, I know it’s a boring costume. There are two reasons for that.
One, I spend almost nine hours a day at work. Nine hours is a long time to sit with an uncomfortable costume on. So, I opted for the most comfortable costume I could think of. After the initial picture taking was finished, I worked all day in a t-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. I think the word you’re looking for is GENIUS!
Two, every Halloween I have this tiny little fear that I’ll be the only one dressed up. Kind of like what happened to Pam in The Office. That thought alone is enough to keep my efforts pretty minimal.
It’s now time to start handing out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters. My goal is to get rid of all my candy. So, come on over!
If I Were Cast in The Office I’d Be…
I used to watch The Office faithfully every Thursday night. I even watched it when it was a struggling newcomer. It appealed to me because of the job I had at that time.
I watched as Angela fussed with the thermostat. The next day at work, I watched as PT fussed with the thermostat. She turned and looked at all of us with a glare warning us to not touch it again. Her reaction wasn’t as funny as Angela’s.
I watched the episode where Michael has to take the sexual harassment class. My boss at the time disclosed an inappropriate story I’m still working hard to forget. Again, not so funny.
Then I switched jobs. And I got cast into the show. Sure, I like to picture myself as Pam. Nice, normal Pam. I took a Facebook Quiz once and it said I was Pam. We all know how reliable that information is so I didn’t press it. No retakes for me.
However, I began to have my doubts that I wasn’t Pam. A sinking feeling that I am actually somebody else in The Office. And then I laughed when I realized who I am.
I am charm-type!
Famous Folk Here in Wyo
I live in Smalltown, Wyoming. Nothing exciting happens here. Unless you think looking out your window and seeing a buck lying in your backyard is exciting. Yeah, most people don’t.
Imagine my surprise when I headed home from work one day. A pedestrian – which in itself is a novelty because people don’t walk in Wyoming – strolled down the sidewalk. As I approached him, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
It looked like this guy!
I so could have taken this picture but I didn’t.
What was JT doing in my hometown?
I wasn’t too surprised though. The other day, on the same road at nearly the same place, I saw this guy!
Not mine either. I could have whipped out my phone (while driving) and taken it though. Then you’d know I’m not crazy.
I’ll just call him the Parks and Recreation guy because I don’t know his name.
What? Are celebrities looking for small towns to hide out? And what’s up with all the walking? I don’t know about P&R guy, but surely, JT can afford some Wyoming Wheels. And here’s a suggestion – the bigger the wheel the better here.
In other news, I think it’s time I make an appointment with the optometrist.
Hot Pocket Warning Label

Ouch! I burned my tongue. I had no idea this Hot Pocket would be so hot. There should be some kind of warning on it. A simple message like: Hello! This is hot. In fact, it’s like a little pocket of hot. So, do not take a huge bite out of it right out of the microwave.
My tongue feels funny. I think my taste buds will be off for the day. Thanks for ruining my day. If there is a lawyer out there, please contact me immediately. I’m thinking a million dollars will help me get over my emotional distress.
My Hot Pocket was hot. Who could see that coming?
Now, Maybe
You graduated high school. It was time for you to move on and leave our youth group. Because that is the natural progression of things. Someone else was called to lead the younger girls.
“I’ve been replaced,” you said.
“Not at all!” I reassured. “You can never be replaced.”
At the end of summer, it was time for you to move away for college. Because that is the natural progression of things. Your replacement in the youth group also took your old job in the community.
“I’ve been replaced,” you said.
“Not at all!” I reassured. “It’s just a coincidence.”
A new girl moved in and started attending our youth group. Because that is the natural progression of things. I watched her face when confronted with unpleasantness. She kept a cool, serene expression. Underneath the calmness I can only imagine what was turning and burning. She is a sweet girl that everyone loves. But I bet she has no clue that her own coolness meter is off the charts. And I realized, she reminds me of…you.
So, I hope we never again have the discussion where you say, “I’ve been replaced.”
Because I might have to reply, “Ok, now, maybe.”
(Just in case you happen to read this, let me hastily add a 😉 and a LOL to make it all better. And maybe a JK. Now you can return with a HAHAHA and we’ll be ROFL, right? Emoticons and acronyms pretty much allow us to say anything we want nowadays and still remain friends.)
Hello Name Twin
Stormy Afternoon
It was a dark and stormy afternoon. No, seriously, it really was. Perhaps, the earth had suffered enough with the summer drought that the heavens took pity on her and allowed rain in the autumn. One might say that the rain, wind, and dark skies evoke the Halloween spirit. One might say that, it’s true. Another might declare it to be a coincidence and only determined by the season. Which is a proven fact. But whatever your belief you have to admit, a dark and stormy afternoon is kinda creepy.

Poke = Love (in my dictionary anyway)
Hey there –
you looked a little sad today.
So I –
thought I’d send some love your way.
