A List of 25 Things

Okay. Here is my life right now, in a list.

1. I just had a filling replaced this morning. My tooth, now that the novocaine is wearing off, hurts like a bitch.

2. I am in a lull at work, so I am busy reading, among other things, reviews of the iPhone.

3. I want an iPhone SO DAMN BAD.

4. Seriously. SO DAMN BAD. It's actually not a trendy thing, more the opposite: I'd actually be embarrassed and feel judged by others if I got a $600 phone. I just find myself using Cute Overload language when I see one, thinking how prosh it is and how I want to give it soft kronsches. Basically, I just think I need one. I really do.

I could hide it from people.

5. I am confused about dating. I am confused about when you like somebody. I am confused about the crazy things I do when dating. Sometimes I really miss being married.

6. I don't miss being married when I think that I would have let H get an iPhone and I would have waited, because I was a fucking gadget doormat.

7. I just mailed a check with the last payment for my car. No car payments, yay!

8. I fear that my car will die or be murdered as soon as the check clears.

9. I put off mailing that last check as I am superstitious about my poor future dead car.

10. It's bloody hot.

11. I need to garden badly, but it's bloody hot.

12. I have to finish this #$*&@ freelance project. I want it done REALLY BAD.

13. Oh! Oh! The freelance money was earmarked for landscaping. Could be it be used instead for.... an iPhone?

14. There are babies everywhere. I met a baby this weekend named Merlin, which is wrong on many levels.

15. My friend at work who is pregnant is constantly eating, which is making me eat constantly. She hasn't gained any weight, but I have. That ain't right.

16. I've gained SO MUCH WEIGHT.

17. My CD is going to be off all next week. Woot.

18. I have no plans yet for the 4th. Someone, please have a BBQ and invite me.

19. Swimming would be fun, too, but I'm not picky.

20. I have the opportunity to go contra dancing this Friday. No, it has nothing to do with Nicaragua. I had to wikipedia it myself. But I was invited by a boy. Who wants to do this voluntarily. Freakish.

21. Yeah, I'm not as interested in the boy I'm dating. Don't know, just not smitten. See #5.

22. Other boy leaving the country. Very grateful. But hung out all innocent-like on Sunday and he wasn't exactly oozing with charm, so feel better about all that in general.

23. My gutters are full. Must find someone who will clean them soon or must do myself. That, however, would involve ME and a LADDER, which is frightening on many levels.

24. Am trying to decide whether to buy my Harry Potter book (WHOO!) online or pick up at the store that Friday midnight. Am afraid of some asshole yelling spoilers like that youtube video from last time. I'd be crushed. Also, though, don't wanna be freaking out at the mailman again like last time. Feel dumb that this issue is a concern, but IT IS.

and to wrap it up,

25. I need a vacation, involving a beach, some books and some fruity beverages with umbrellas. Sigh.

Back in town

Went to see my family this weekend. Very short visit so I'm pretty pooped. Just cracked a ginormous yawn while writing that. So sleeeeeepy. So looking forward to going to bed early tonight. I'm old.

Um. I'm sure I have fascinating topics to write about.

Or not.

I was trying killing time until I could go home and thought that updating Ye Olde Blogge would kill some time, but did not factor in the lack of functional intelligence and/or willpower to update.

Well, fuck. Check back soon. I will work on me getting more smarter.

I'm just sayin'

Tired old ass

Sorry I've been gone so long. I had a blog meltdown. You know, why the hell am I doing this/why did I write that/blah blah blah? Ad nauseum, ad nauseum. Anyway, I'm writing now because I feel like it for the first time in a while. Of course this is while I'm supposed to be doing freelance, so I'm being bad while I'm being good. Sounds about right, eh?

I've been doing okay. I had a big my-fat-ass-on-the-couch period this weekend. From Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon I did nothing except eat, read, and watch TV. Oh, and nap. I'm ashamed of myself. In my defense, I went out or did freelance every night last week. Friday alone involved Mary's and nearly a six-pack just my own little (ha) self. Plus I was crampy and was adjusting my new anti-anxiety meds all weekend, so it was not THAT bad that I did nothing. Except that it made me feel like shit.

I've also seen three movies in eight days. Quite impressive, especially as I think I matched the number of movies I saw in all of 2006. Waitress was pretty good, a little cute for my taste. I loved Knocked Up. And Oceans' Thirteen was fine: what you'd expect, funny quips and totally unfollowable, or least more fun if you quit trying. It was at a theater where you can order food and beer during the movie. I had never done that. Think I prefer dinner before or after the movie, but it was interesting.

BTW, it's pouring outside right now. I hope it's raining this hard at my house. You wouldn't believe how often I've driven home in the rain to find not a drop has fallen at my house. It's quite confusing and makes my garden, such as it is this year, sad.

I'm seeing two bands this week: tomorrow is Great Lake Swimmers and Wednesday is the National, both at the Earl. I'm going to wear my tired old ass out. But, yay!

I gotta get on this freelance crap now. I am so ready for this damn project to be over.
