Nothing Compares To Blue.

Hi. I'm Jen. I'm 40 and I live in Arkansas. I'm a wonderful dork.

Who the Fuck Am I?!

I just wrote 12,547 words. WHO AM I?!

I just had an idea, and went with it. And I don't know where the fuck it's going, but it's going.....this was JUST ONE DAY, too. WTFUCK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to buy a cord for my pen display today. I missed using my ipad, but it crapped out earlier this year so I had to fall back on the pen tablet but there's something about seeing what you're drawing as you draw it without needing to use hand-eye coordination. It feels more fluid. I opened the box up today that held the display and realized it's devoid of the power cord, sadly. Good think huion carries the cord for the 16 incher from 2021 still! It was a good tablet, I just didn't think I'd need it because i had an ipad too and used that more often. Then I let my bf use it a bunch and he got frustrated with the cord not charging and he shoved some pins into the input for the power cord so it's dead, now.

I'm having an odd feeling about days of yore and the current days. I used to think I had problems. They were choirboys compared to today's problems.

I mean...I barely complain, these days. It's easy to complain when you're complacent. That's the lesson my 30s taught me.

I've been weirdly sleeping like all day for the past week, now. It's probably stress & eye strain, honestly.

It's All Greek Yogurt To Me, Now

I usually hesitate on things that are too trendy when it comes to foods. I didn't really ever try avocado on toast once, and I regretted the one sip of the peanut butter bacon milkshake from Sonic my bf had me try.... but damn if I love Greek Yogurt! It seems like it's custardy, but that's just the copious amounts of protein, I guess.

I did an experiment today. I bought greek vanilla yogurt and peach yogurt (American-Regular)....the nutrition labels spoke a lot about why people were pushing the Greek-style yogurt over the other types.

I never want to go back to the Am-Reg yogurt again. I only want yogurt of the Greek persuasion from here on out.

Who even am I?! .....it's ok, I'm actually just kidding here I know who I am. It's just....damn if I don't love this trend.

Also...my job is kinda tough this month. Not much work. So it's probably good that I found Greek Yogurt when I did because it's still relatively cheap and I held out long enough to get the nice prices that come along with store-brand items on the shelves.

Spending Time

I just realized, not for the first time of course, that time is a currency. We are finite, and so our time is a commodity. As such, we have to make sure we invest in ourselves too. What makes us happy? What's a good investment? What benefits us?

I was taught, growing up, to discount myself in a myriad of ways. It's unfortunate.

ITS GREAT LAKES AWARENESS DAY!!!!!

On this excellent day, be aware that this is the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world, covering over 95,000 square miles and reaching depths of over a thousand feet. They are beautiful freshwater seas.

Also when you die in these lakes, the very cold, oxygen-poor conditions at the bottom preserves you perfectly for all eternity. You will not rot and nothing will eat you. You will exist for as long as the Great Lakes do. Many shipwrecks still have the crew on board. Be Aware.

that last paragraph only applies to Lake Superior, the northernmost Great Lake! to be fair though, Superior is bigger than all of the other Great Lakes combined.

and that's not to say that the other Great Lakes aren't equally dangerous! each of these things earned the 'Great' descriptor for a reason, and the only reason they aren't all classified as inland seas is because they're not salty.

Lake Michigan in particular is really good at creating waterlogged corpses and hiding them in weird places, and every single Great Lake is full of shipwrecks and ghost stories.

and you know what? 10/10 I would let these things eat me anyways.

be aware!

fun optional addition, LAKE SUPERIOR VS THE EAST COAST

you could drown an entire small country in this thing

If you're scared of sharks, come to Illinois, Wisconsin or Michigan and you'll not have to wonder when the last time you shaved your legs before getting in the water. It's just like the ocean.....only less bad 🥳

this is the last time I saw it, back in 2019.....

We had a 28' boat, once upon a time. Survived to tell the tale ✌️🤣✌️

P.S: Mackinaw City > Mackinac Island because there is fudge on the wind, after you get off the ferry on the island, but there too be horseshit. The combination of chocolate and shit? Not pleasant. It's not worth it....well....plug your damn nose. Bring earplugs too because the ferry is motorized and it's constant. Don't pay to go up the lighthouse though it's not worth it (the lighthouse isn't on the island, it's a bit to the right and back, from this view of the mackinac bridge)

WTH TUMBLR?!

Ok....this seems VERY bad. The baddest ad I've ever seen, and I've unfortunately seen a shit-ton of ads in my 40 yrs of life.

[dreamingincerulean]

oh and I've not clicked on it or any other shitty ass ad I've seen on a once-ad-free-and-premium-free website. . . . call me weird.

I still get those moments where I'm like "Oh yeah this month would have been a Camp NaNoWriMo month!"

What a fucked up world we live in, folks.

Domino's Deal Alert 4/20-4/26/26....and always be aware of your surroundings!

Yesterday we realized it's 50% off pizza prices at Domino's this whole week (YOU STILL HAVE TIME FOLKS! GO GET IT!) .....so I bought a few....and when we were coming home, trying to avoid the place that everyone breaks glass in the middle of the street across the street from the tire shop, a bunch of cops were zooming past us. Prior to this, a truck was passing cars in the city. And....in that truck was a criminal who'd just shot someone and was on the run! We kept thinking the cops were pulling us over (ok that only happened once...) But yeah....that was odd. When I got back, I didn't understand why my heart was racing. I'd just eaten the most amazing pizza (bacon and jalapeno, extra cheese....stuffed crust parmesan & garlic) (OH AND THEIR SLICE SAUCE IS ACTUALLY THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING!) ....

the important thing here is that damn....you never know who's passing you by on the road! And also...go getcha some domino's for what it's actually worth instead of inflation prices!
