Eye Contact

I am not sure if anyone has had that moment when their eyes come in contact with someone they did not want to see. You know what I mean, like the gal you yelled and honked at on your way to the doctor only to find out that she was one of the nurses at your Dr.'s office once you got there, and you look at each other at the same time!

Well, that is what I'm talking about here today. But let me start off with just a little background. First off, I am what you call extremely aware of everything and everyone around me(otherwise referred to as nosey) So, as I am driving or shopping or whatever, I am constantly looking around and surveying who and what is around me. Let me say it is extremely hard to sneak up on me by the way.

Anyway, so I am walking through a warehouse store purchasing some things I needed and feeling pretty good despite the worries that my job may be in jeopardy. As I turn to leave with my stuff I am surveying others around me and end up making that eye contact with someone I knew and most definitely did not want to see or be seen by. The problem was that she was looking right at me!

.

Now unfortunately this is not just someone who I would rather not be around. This is a person who has absolutely done everything she could do to bad-mouth me and portray me and my family as let's say....second rate just to be nice. We have so gotten over all of her fakeness and back stabbing and it hardly bothers us at all anymore when we learn about new ways she has gone out of her way to put us down. It actually becomes quite comical how she actually blogs in obvious response to our public blog and acts like she is being general. It doesn't even bother us, it is just a sad fact of who she is and how she validates herself I guess.

There I go again, on a tangent. So the problem is I know she saw me! But I acted like I saw right through her and now wonder if it was too obvious or what. I know what I should have done and that was to smile real big and say hi with more enthusiasm than I felt. But alas, the moment is past and now I wish I had been prepared. The nice thing is, she does not read this blog so at least I can rant and vent about this unmolested!

.

So my question for you stalkers today is, What would you have done? Should I have a reaction planned and stored just for such an occasion? and last but not least, Have you ever had a situation where you made eye contact and it was very uncomfortable?

.

Have a great day stalkers!

All about Blogstalker!

Well, maybe not all you ever wanted to know. I did not just get up and decide to reveal EVERYTHING about myself. I did however find a meme that I have seen going around here and there. Miss Kris just did it and I thought to myself: Self, you could probably do this. I responded: Why yes you could, and so here we are.


I Am: a complex individual who enjoys family and fun and can find a song for every moment in my life


I Want: All of my children to outlive me


I Have: an irritating case of ADD. It really can screw with your life!


I Wish: I was better at some of my 'immediate' reactions


I Fear: ever having to deal with losing a child


I Hear: what you are not saying


I Search: for those who think, feel, question


I Wonder: about everything and everyone and what makes people tick


I Regret: the times I did not stand up for myself


I Love: my children, my spouse, my savior, and my music


I Always: think of the right thing to say, but always too late


I Usually: Procrastinate things until they become critical


I Am Not: an easy person to get to know.


I Dance: when nobody can see me.....but I do love it!


I Sing: all the time, there is always a song in my head. but never aloud....it's just too awful


I Never: can exactly describe how I feel


I Rarely: do not have something to say.........about everything......very opinionated!


I Cry: at the sad parts of movies, when I read sentimental poems, hear a song that is sweet......I guess just way too much


I Am Not Always: the listener I want to be


I Need: To remember to be thankful, even for the trials that will define me


I Should: delete all my answers and start over........but I will not

Well, there you have it, or don't have it. Does that tell you anything more about me? I think it does. So, use this if you want, or just think about some of the answers yourself.

So my fellow blog stalkers, Riddle me this- Who are you? Leave me a comment that start out I am...... and let me know something about yourself that defines who you are in this complex world.

That's all for now.

Have a great day!

Experiment and an Award

Well, I have to start by apologizing to my most regular commenters. Even though I am pretty spotty on posting and commenting already I decided to try an experiment. My hypothesis was that if I stopped commenting completely on all blogs I would stop getting comments even from those who regularly 'put on their brave faces' and leave me those precious comments.


I knew that since my time became so restrictive, it was easier to just read a blog and move on. The posts I commented on tended to be in response to those who commented on my own. I did however try and leave comments if a post was especially poignant to me. I, as I am sure most of you are, am too busy to be able to leave comments on every post I read or even visit every blog as regularly as I would like.


While in the past I have been upset at the lack of time, with the threat of layoffs I know hope my time issues are not resolved any time soon.

So anyway, I continued to receive comments from several of my favorite blog-stalkers!

Turns out there are some out there who are just plain and simple "Loyal Commenters"

So how does one recognize his/her(lol) loyal commenters? How about an award?

I got this one from Holly's Corner Blog and it is perfect.

So, would the following bloggers Please stand up and take a bow:

.

• (In no particular order)
• Mike from Billions of Versions of Normal
• Emma from Musings of the Mindless Banterer
• Rhonda from A day in Rhonda's Life
• Ronda from Ronda's Rants
• Rhondalue from Whetten Wonders
• Melissa B from the Scholastic Scribe
• Tulsi from The Family Awaits
• Summer from Counting our Blessings

So all you have to do is:

.

1. Take the award and run. Link it back to me if you would like.

.

2. If you feel the compulsion to pay it forward then please do.

.

3. And as always, Have a Great day!

.

By the way, I am going to try and make a better than average showing in the comment department in the future. Know that I really like all of your blogs. You guys absolutely Rawk! And to all those new to BlogStalker's blog, Welcome. I like to ask questions and maybe cause you to ask a few of me.

By the way stalkers, How many would admit to being a comment-whore? We all like comments, but do you comment on others posts just for their comments? Just something to think about.

Again, Have a Great Day!

Hackin' & Flippin' Funny!

Okay, so I don't know if I am the slowest person on the planet to learn about things somehow or what! My kids were watching I-Carly on TV today, a show.......... about an Internet show, kinda goofy and fun all at the same time. Anyway, there is this weird little Fred guy who I guess is making a guest appearance. At first I thought it was the stupidest thing I had ever seen. But then...........................I just started smiling uncontrollably. And then when my terribly technologically savey kids pulled up you tube videos of the guy, I was rolling. Maybe y'all already know about fred. Maybe you all think it's stupid. But I have one playing right now while I am typing and just his voice is cracking me up. This kid is brilliant, considering I think he is rolling in the cash now!

Anyway, I just had to put some of these out there. Take a look at them. Watch more than one. And then tell me what you think! Don't forget to turn off the music. I moved the player onto the right column. Enjoy!

So, did you even take the time to watch these? I have now spent too long watching Fred videos! Click here for Fred's site to check out more cool videos. I am so getting a "fred" shirt!

Please tell me what you think of the videos. Am I insane to laugh at them? Am I just not as mature as I thought I was?

Have a great day!
