So today doesn’t suck quite so badly after all. I bought 3 tickets for the computer raffle at work, and won myself a PC. It’s not as good as the one I’ve got at home now, but it only cost the $25 I spent on the tickets. I wonder what I should do with it….

Specs in the extended entry.

Oy. Can today just be over already? Thanks. In other news, I’m still in need of another pair (or 3) of helping hands for my hotdog sale this Sunday Aug. 1 from about 10am until 3-ish at IGA in New West. You’ll get free hotdogs, and the pleasure of my company. Oh, and that warm … Continue reading Zoooom

Although we’ve got the internet at our disposal at work, we’re under strict orders to not surf the net unless we’re on a break. And breaks are being monitored too – just in case you were wondering.

Not that I mind – A company’s gotta do what they gotta do to ensure that their employees are being productive. Unfortunately, it’s obvious that a few are ruining it for the many, meaning no “brain breaks” for me during the day, and definitely no catching up on the blogroll on company time.

On a totally unrelated note, I got my new drivers’ license today. I got the picture done Monday night, so I’m pretty impressed that it was in my mailbox this morning. I’m even more impressed that the picture doesn’t suck.

And I found a great recipe for a blueberry smoothie. It’s in the extended entry.

Only 4 more days, and hellmonth is officially over for me. I hope August is a little less insane.

The birthday was all sorts of good, and it just doesn’t stop! I already had the “family birthday” on Sunday, so I wasn’t expecting too much more pomp and circumstance through the week. I arrived to well-wishes and a card at work, and the day seemed to fly right by. Also, thanks for all the … Continue reading Birthday Goodies

It’s my birthday. As of publish time, I’ve been on the planet as a non-parasitic humanoid for 24 whole years. But I’m not going to party like it’s my birthday – I’m way too busy. The best present for me will be relaxing. So no ladies’ night for now. But it’s still my birthday, so … Continue reading Yo Shorties,

Ok, everyone who said they were interested in attending Ladies’ Night with me at Skybar, it’s this Wednesday the 28th. Anyone who wants to ride downtown in the Limo can meet at my house (probably around 6:00) – because the company doesn’t do 2-way limo for free, it’ll be transit or shared cab back here. … Continue reading Ladies’ Night

I told you there were problems with my gmail. Continue reading gmail redux

What do you do when you know it’s time to move on, but you keep longing for that “one more perfect day” – so you can’t bear to let go quite yet? Continue reading Moving On

Ew. Now please be warned that this isn’t an “I’m fat” post, but this is my heaviest summer to date. And I seem to have crossed the threshold this year into not handling the heat well at all. I’m the girl who used to keep the heat on year round, and be able to wear … Continue reading The unbearable stickiness of being

Howdy Kids! Who wants something fun and exciting to do on the August long weekend? Never Fear, Pub Night is Here! I’ll be hosting a Pub Night, as a fundraiser for the Boobies on Saturday July 31st at Frankie G’s Pub in Queensborough. The $12 ticket gets you a Burger & Fries, Beverage (alcoholic or … Continue reading Pub Night

I hate falling off the wagon. I always forget just how long it takes to get back on. This week the MO is going to be making sure I walk or bike to and from work each day. I already missed Monday morning – but I made it this morning, and it’s the goal for … Continue reading Wagon Wheels

It was SO UNBELIEVABLY NICE to have a weekend filled with the perfect ratio of fun:relaxing:getting shit done. That hasn’t happened in a while. I really need to get back on the healthy wagon. Last week was a total writeoff. This week isn’t starting out all that great, but at least the water consumption is … Continue reading Observations

UPDATE: Congratulations, dearheart won!

Watch out Jeff Probst – I’ve got a game for you!

I referred earlier to the best party mix cd ever – and I’ll share the titles of the musical goodness here for you.

But I was thinking, let’s make this a little more exciting; let’s make this a contest!

In the extended entry, I’m going to put a lyrical phrase from each song (it’ll be a poignant one, not something obscure like the 3rd line from the 2nd verse), and you guess the answers (title and artist) in the comments.

Some will definitely be easier than others, but they’re all pretty easy to figure out if you know your stuff. Most of them are the first few words of each song, if that helps.

First commenter to get them all correct wins a prize! A copy of the CD, and a beer (or something, if you don’t like beer), courtesy of me.

Good Luck!

Oh. My. God. I woke up this morning around 8:30-ish, feeling like I had been hit by a very large truck. Got some water, took some Pepto, stared at the huge mess, and promptly said to myself “fuck this shit, I’m going back to bed.” I woke up again around noon, when Brian called, feeling … Continue reading I LOVE MY ROOMMATE
