and tonight: work dinner of yumminess. i’m so excited. (i’m also liable to pass the fuck out from sheer exhaustion on my plate, score!)

wednesday the weather was a glorious 70 degrees outside and all was well. sunshine, frolicking, loveliness left and right.
then some motherfucker told me “oh it’s going to storm and snow by the end of the week, just you wait.” and i wake up freezing cold this morning to find that the weather has turned to bullshit. great.
i just hope it lets up for the weekend, and that it isn’t too freezing cold in chicago. i’ve been checking the weather, but you never know. and for some reason, i’m uber-nervous about the whole thing. i really want to get out there, but i also really want to just get it over with and stuff. strange. i used to be so excited about it all and now i’m just kind of worried.
cheering me up today are my brand new shoes of spiffiness. i am so happy they finally arrived — screw you UPS & your “unforseen delays” — and they are totally awesome. i’m still in a state of mourning over my awesome skull & crossbone sneakers that died horribly…but, these definitely are kicky enough to keep me happy for a while. i think i’ve found my official favorite brand of shoes now, so word. although doc martens (expensive!) and sketchers (soft spot from back in the day) definitely have been vying for the top spot in my heart for a long time. which is to say, i’m becoming entirely too girly in my old age, really.
the bottom of my closet is filled, filled with shoes of nearly every type. and there are some i only wear once, or just on special occasions or even hardly ever, but yet i still want them. every once in a while i’ll go out and find the pair i covet and get them. the oxfords that are just too cute but almost too high, and the patent leather strappies, and even (god) heels…occasionally, really. and of course, i’ll never have as many shoes as my dear midget does — they’d never fit in my apartment — but damn.
also, the approaching spring means a.) breaking in my sandals again and b.) probably buying more of them.
ay dios…

They Accomplished So Much Less Than That
Little boy #1: I wish dinosaurs lived in Central Park.
Little boy #2: Dinosaurs aren’t real — they’re from the TV.
Little boy #3: Dinosaurs are real, they just live on other planets.
Little boy #2: Like Pluto!
Little boy #1: Pluto isn’t a planet anymore. The scientists blowed it up.
–M86 bus
today has been so busy i can’t even believe it. and yet, i have been relatively productive. workin’ like a mofo, handling problems left and right, and i even managed to get the time to take the boy to see his douchebag doctor and get my sprint issues taken care of. hooray!
seriously, i’ve been trying to get to the sprint store for nearly 2 months now, and haven’t managed to swing it yet. until today, that is. even traffic was halfway decent, and i made it back to work with precious few issues. awesome. even more awesome is the fact that everything at work remained stable while i was gone so i didn’t come back to stressful evilness.
and now, for the requisite filler, because i suck at blogging…

starting the morning off with a heaping pile of meeting bullshit is just not a good way to begin the work week. and i know i shouldn’t really bitch about it, but fuck man…i’m now 2 hours behind on a day i came in 1/2 hour early!
ugh.
i am having a cranky day.
and everything else just turned to bullshit…

since the move i’ve been taking the T to work again, and thus have struck up my vicious feud with the MBTA. getting to work on time is a fucking ordeal, and once it warms up i’m just walking my happy ass down to the bus or something because seriously, seriously fuck the T. fuck the green line, fuck the schedules, fuck the conductors, fuck the red line, fuck the trains, fuck.it.all.
fuck it.
oh, and i’m being re-acquainted with the extra special brand of people that crowd the B-line every morning. which, the boy is right, it’s not as bad as the D-line or any of the orange line trains — those have the market on sketchy freak-ass weirdos completely cornered. but, at least on the bus there’s only a few people you have to contend with. on the train, having to ride multiple trains to work, you come in contact with a whole lot more specialness. and a whole lot more douchebaggery. the people who don’t let you off the train when it’s your fucking stop, then act all put out because you dare to get past them…these are the same kinds of people that double-park in the middle of a narrow, one-way, ice-covered street as if it’s no big deal. fuckers.
today’s trip included some extra specialness that i’m sure i could’ve done without. from the boy with too much hair product, a red & gold adidas jacket, and (get this) white glasses frames — that’s right, just the frames, no lenses, not real glasses! — frontin’ like he owned the damn train. to the woman who most likely had some sort of growth trying to eat its way out of her stomach. to the endless hos tramping around on the train in jeans so low they might as well be denim legwarmers and motherfucking stilettos — in winter, in the slush, wtf?! i do not miss the train one bit.
i relish the fact that i’ll be within the confines & comfort of my own beautiful car tomorrow as i go to & from work. really, it’s the kind of peace and quiet i need. solitude and freedom. even if it is for a simple 10 minute break each way.
it is well worth it.

- Appetizer: Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
on my right leg, just above and to the left of the knee…from climbing a fence when i was about 8…and mis-stepping onto a part of the fence and then sliding into an iron wire (it was a wire fence). hurt like a bitch, ruined my favorite jeans. but it’s much smaller now than it used to be. - Soup: What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
i have my own apartment, just for me. and i can afford it. - Salad: Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.
[withholds answer that would be too easy to avoid ribbing from the boy] i don’t watch too much tv, even now. but, i have always been mightily freaked out by oprah. - Main Course: What was a funny word you said as a child (such as “pasketti” for “spaghetti”)?
::sigh:: i had an issue replacing my “C” & “kuh” noises with “T”s. like, “cookies” and “cars” were weird, up until i was about 2-and-a-half. meh. - Dessert:: Fill in the blank: I have always thought ______ was ______. “i have always thought [bill gates] was [in league with satan].” after what i’ve seen of windows vista, i’m totally certain he is.
i am totally and completely not productive today. un-productive! anti-productive! but the weekend is looming ahead, and i’ve got some cookery ideas sloshing around in my head for it. also, lola is going to be two years old tomorrow!
OMG!
kitty!

early morning meetings suck so hard right now. it totally threw off the rest of my day, and my day has been SO BUSY already. i had way too much fun yesterday, really. rum and pineapple juice is fucking delicious — so delish it should be illegal, or served ALWAYS. love.
and i’m sure i got drunk and stupid, but i only have so many days left of drunk and stupid. so, at least i did it up right. and i’m probably gonna drink again tonight because it’s my last chance. also: mardi gras!
best part of the day so far? work gave me $75 worth of best buy gift cardness. randomly, and for no reason other than my work is awesome. it’s totally going towards my REPLACE CAR STEREO THAT ASSHOLES STOLE fund. assholes. still, i really, really, really miss having music in the car. miss it like you wouldn’t believe. double-miss it.
additional best part? work got catered lunch. fresh fruit! oh yay!
