Screaming “almost 30″

January 15th, 2007 § 6 comments § permalink

I don't really know what is more ridiculous:

Buying clothes from Forever 21 (FINE - there, I admit it) when I am obviously the oldest person in the store, or spending a ridiculous amount of money on this for a "fresher, younger-looking face" (um, after reading Melissa's glowing review there was no way I wasn't going to try it).

Ack.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

December 25th, 2006 § 1 comment § permalink

10:00 am    Wake up.  Eat chocolate.  Shower. 

10:30 am   Mimosas.  Eat more chocolate.

11:15 am    Sausage croissants. More mimosas.

12:00 pm   Champagne.  Chicken wings.  More chocolate.

1:00 pm      "Dinner":  Rib eyes, ham, potatoes, soup, shrimp, veggies.  Wine.

2:00 pm     Pies and Irish coffee.

5:00 pm     Round 2 (with beer).

6:00 pm     Go into coma.

8:00 pm     Watch Christmas Story, laugh, drink more champagne, and realize how much I miss being here.

Here's to larger waistlines, precious time with family, and a happy holiday for you all!

Random Christmas eve-eve thoughts

Why is there so much laundry for only one person?  And why is it that the things I want to pack always need to be washed?

The dogs are slowly accumulating more and more furniture-y type items.  This scares me.

In 9 hours I'll be packing a ridiculous amount of presents, clothes, champagne, two dogs and all their accoutrements into the car for the drive down to Orlando.  Lawd help us.

Best part about leaving on a Saturday instead of a Sunday?  Two words:  chicken biscuit.

The annual “things for which I am thankful” list

November 21st, 2006 § 2 comments § permalink

- my extremely generous and loving family who support me through thick and thin
- my dear friends that I've made here, and the love of my friends far and away
- my awesome job for which I enjoy getting up every morning
- my even more awesome boss
- therapy, effexor and wellbutrin
- last night's snow flurries
- gingerbread lattes
- scarf and boot weather
- Lazy Scranton

I'm sure I left a million things out, but today I'm unbearably cheery and grateful for everything.  Tomorrow I'll fly home to Borelando for a 5-day weekend.  Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

One of life’s little mysteries

Why is it that I:

-have to take 2 hours out of my day
-drive in 20 minutes of traffic
-pay $4 for parking
-wait another 30 minutes after my appointment time
-and get my finger stabbed

all to just get a 5 minute pap smear?
