Joyous-ness

Currently going through my mind regarding the holidays:

1.  Can I sneak home a bottle of wine without my mother going batshit crazy?

2.  Can I live 2 days with my family WITHOUT the wine?

3.  Oh shit, how is my Christmas shopping still not done…

4.  I super want to make Christmas cookies but I’m way out of time.  Too bad I am at work right now or I could be baking/shopping.  Maybe I’ll just make cookies at my parents’ house this evening. 

5.  This is my first Christmas in quite awhile where I don’t have some type of significant other.  I’m sort of okay with that because…

6.  Last year at this time I was so miserable.  I’m so grateful for my dad sitting me down at our kitchen table Christmas Eve and telling me that I shouldn’t be fighting so hard for something the other person wasn’t even trying at.

7.  Further proof that the only man a girl needs is her dad.

8.  Yet I still don’t know what to get him for Christmas!

Hold on to your spanx, bitches.

This blog is taking a turn for the superficial.  Considering no one reads it, I expect to hear no complaints.  Basically, I am obsessed with being skinny but I also love cookies and junk food.  This presents a dilemma and I am turning this blog into the chronicles of said dilemma.  For example, today I chose to be a fatty fat who eats Chips Ahoy rather than being the skinny hotness.

Also yesterday I bought these shoes that are the ultimate sex.  They will be worn with boyfriend jeans and all other girls will cry with jealousy…success for me.

See?

shit=sit and basketball is a good

Reason #53728954 my dog is awesome:

Yesterday I was in a bad mood, which is usually not something I allow myself, but I decided to indulge it just this once.  Something irked me and I yelled out “shit!” and from the corner of my eye I saw Cosette immediately sit down.  So I gave her a treat for improving my mood greatly.

My little sister’s 8th grade basketball team is playing in a tournament this week, so I’ve been running back and forth to games after work.  I’m way too emotionally invested in this team, but I don’t even care.  I adore watching them.  They’re playing for 2nd place today.  I should probably take a Xanax with me…

School starts Tuesday.  More on that later.

New Year, New Start…or equally cliché title.

Well.  2010 started much differently than I expected, namely:  I’m single.  Not something I anticipated, even though I was the one to instigate it.  Break ups are always sad and I won’t pretend it’s easy, but I really feel like it was the right thing to do.  I’ve had lots of time to think and have come up with some resolutions of sorts.

1. Wash dishes immediately after dirtying them.  Eventually I have to start doing this, so this shall be the year.

2. Play the piano every day.  Or keyboard, in this instance.  I’m going to start putting my sweet little Yamaha to use again.

3.  Don’t let myself be put on a shelf.  Or as my therapist says every five minutes…”Have a voice.”  (this applies to friends, in school, at work, and in relationships.)

4.  And finally, a fun new venture.  After watching Julie & Julia I started thinking about how much I love to cook and how fun Julie’s little project was.  I’m a vegetarian, so I won’t use Julia Child’s cookbook, but rather a vegetarian cookbook that I have yet to decide upon.  This will also hopefully get me to start eating more consistently.  I’ll also be starting a separate blog to document my progress.

Back soon with updates from # 4!

Seriously, I am unstable. Only lexapro can fix me. Or tequila.

I hate being late to work.  This morning, my alarm went off at 6:30 and I turned it off but decided to “rest” in bed for a minute.  Next thing I know it’s 7:35…and I’m supposed to be at work 20 minutes away by 7:40.  I actually got there at 7:47 which took some Cruella driving.  And no contacts or makeup.  Sweet.  I was so tired from Black Friday the day before and then staying out until midnight watching The Blind Side.  (totally great, by the way!)  Sandra Bullock is so sassy.  I love her.

Then I get home and decide to screw up my relationship.  Gee I’m good at that.  But seriously, who knew that long distance relationships provoked so much drama?  I truly don’t think I’m being unreasonable to want to feel appreciated, however.  Surely I deserve that.  Right?

Woo, school play!

My sister Emily’s school play is this Thursday.  She got the “character role”–the part she wanted, and I’m so excited to see her in it.  I will definitely post pictures; little girl is a LEGIT actress, no joke.

I have a biology test in a few hours, so I’m cuddling up with my textbook and some chocolate chip cookies until then.  *I love college…I love college…I love college…*

November Top 10

The Top Ten Best Things About November:

10.  Frosty mornings

9.  New Moon comes out in theatres.  Wait, before you judge!  Hear me out here.  I love getting excited about things, and I love stuff that gets people excited.  I think that the Twilight series is kind of crap, but I love that people love it.  Why hate on something that has teens reading?  So I’m totally going to the midnight showing so I can experience the sheer joy of Twilight fans.  It’s the simple things, y’all.

8.  Veteran’s Day.  Not only is this an important holiday to remember and honor veterans…it gets me out of work.

7.  The semester is winding down!

6.  Thanksgiving!  Of course, this means:

5.  Family time.  Everyone gets together!  Full houses!  Loud laughter!

4.  Great food like pumpkin pie!

3.  A spirit of thanksgiving.  I love taking time to be thankful for life’s many blessings.

2.  Black Friday and great shopping!

And the number one best thing about November…

1.  TWO MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!  (did you guess?)

 

You know you’ve hit a new low when…

your shrink tries to give you money.  THAT JUST HAPPENED.

Well, it happened 5 hours ago.  hahahahahahaha reaaaaaly?  Yes.  Apparently, I remind her of her daughter and if her daughter were going through this much financial strain she would want someone to help her out.  Very sweet, VERY kind and thoughtful.  But heck no.  I was so embarrassed.

Oh, and completely unrelated, but I have a new puppy picture.  She’s just so adorable!

Why I’m a Bad Person

1.  My parents are graciously paying my way though college and instead of studying right now I am writing a blog.

2.  When my dog poops at the park, I only pick it up if there’s someone around.

3.  At work when people bring their kids in and the kids are misbehaving I immediately judge the parents and their “lack of parenting skills.”  Yes, I know I have some wretched karma coming my way with that one.

4.  I really, really, REALLY want to write a facebook status addressed to teenage girls about this new invention called birth control.  And I really want to write that if they use it, they should find that they will stop getting pregnant.  Amazing how that works.

UPDATE:

I got a 100% on my Psychology test anyway, so I guess # 1 isn’t so bad.  : )

You’d better watch out…

I walked into work today and Christmas music was playing.  November 2?!  And it’s so warm out still!  I’m going to have to force myself in the spirit it seems.
