Dear 2011, You Are Dead To Me

So, yes.  2011, I hate you with the fires of a thousand suns.  Hate, hate, hate, LOATHE ENTIRELY!

I hope everyone is having a better new year than I am because if not, I am so sorry.  I feel your pain.

So far this has occurred:

• A cold
• Slipped on the ice and banged up my hip
• Toothache that led to
• An infection
• Throwing up
• ER visit
• Dentist
• Heart attack from the cost (also: if you find my eyeballs, please return)
• PTO time taken that I was trying to save!  For, ya know, the snow.
• PTO for snow.  Dammit. 
• Car door that would not close that took all of 5 seconds to fix after taking YET MORE PTO time
• Annoying people being annoying and making me even more miserable than I was before (see above) and sticking their noses into what is totally not their business and making me incredibly pissy and no, I do not want to help you so piss off.

In conclusion, 2011, it would be totally awesome if you would be nicer to me, mmkay?

Love,
Me

November 1st - Must Finish!

• Vacuum and mop the kitchen and bathroom
• Vacuum!  Everywhere!
• 30 Day Shred
• Email Tiffany before she thinks I am a total flake and stops talking to me
• Write 1667 words for the first day of NANO (and then die)
• Crash until I have to go to work tomorrow

When Life Hands You Lemons...

...you chuck them right back at Life and say, "Fuck you!"

So, I am a little peeved, as you can obviously tell.

I am so tired of being the nice person, ya know?  The girl who always puts her work aside so she can do someone else's.  The one who cannot-fucking-say-no-to-save-her-soul-or-at-least-her-sanity.  The one who puts her life on hold for someone else.

I need a nice long vacation ALONE where there are no people.  Antarctica, perhaps?  I do love me some penguins.

The Birthday Plan

I will begin the 30 Day Shred on Sunday, October 17, 2010.  I will complete each day through thick and thin, through rain and snow and sleet and hail, in sickness and in health 'til death do us part (or something to that effect) until Tuesday, November 16, 2010.

I am hoping to have lost at least 3 lbs., hopefully more.  I am also hoping to have more energy to gt things done around the house and my job.  I am hoping that I will not be so tired all the time.

I am also hoping that I will be a size smaller!  Perhaps less boobage?  Yes, please!  Oh, to have shirts fit correctly.  And pants!  That don't bulge with the bulginess of my tummy!

Pray to all the gods above that I can stick to this!  Finding 20 minutes a day can't be that hard, right?  I just need to cut out one half-hour show block of time.

Please don't let me fail at this like everything else!

A Rant in Bullet List Form

• There's something going on at work that is making me throw back my ice tea like it's a Long Island Iced Tea.  Except for the fact that I don't drink.  And I've never been drunk.  Or understood the fun of being drunk.  But right now?  Looking a little more attractive every hour.

•  The thing from work?  If it pans out tonight like I desperately hope it won't, you may hear my scream in the next galaxy.  No, universe.

• Cowlicks are popping up all over my head!  Obviously a sign that the top layers are getting too long and heavy and I need to hightail it to get my hair cut. 

• I've gone to the same salon since high school, which is now a twenty minute drive.  With the way my hair grows, I really need to get a small trim on my bangs every week two weeks and I can't really justify using up a 1/4 of a tank of gas to just get my hair trimmed.  Even though Mom would love it since salon + Mom = same town.

•  I need to find a new hairstylist who will not have any history with my very finicky hair.  This is very stressful!

• There are 5 million things that I have to do when I get home.  I mean IMPERATIVE FOR MY IMMEDIATE SURVIVAL or something like that, anyway.  All stuff that I have been putting off all week but now that I have plans for this weekend, I don't have time to get to them at my leisure (which is usually quite leisurely but not very timely).

• All I want to do is curl up on my couch and watch the rest of Persons Unknown.  MUST KNOW HOW THE SEASON ENDS!!!  Right now, my vote is aliens.  Which doesn't mean much because that's my answer for everything.  Or ghosts.  But if it is ghosts then damn.  These are some pretty techno-geeky Caspers.  And can I just say, Janet's mom?  Scary a la Joan Crawford.

• And I have Castle and Supernatural to watch, too.  Plus, umm, some more SGA.

• Wait, why am I going out this weekend?

October = Love

I hope that everyone out there in internet-land is having the best October ever.

'Cause I sure am!

I absolutely love this time of year!  The weather has finally evened off into the 50-60 degree range which is wonderful as I will not die of heat stroke as I wear basically winter clothes all year round.  My office is an iceberg 364 days of the year with one day reserved for when you are bundled up for ARCTIC SURVIVAL and the furnace will malfunction and roast you to death.

True story.

In other October awesomeness, my landlord finally ripped out all the ugly bushes in front of the house!  I can see out of my kitchen window again! 

I came home from work on Tuesday night and pulled into the driveway and just sat there for a minute looking at the house.  I knew something was different but it didn't register until suddenly I figured out that I could see the whole house.  Amazing!  It suddenly looked a lot bigger (from the outside).

So while I am sad that the wildlife has been evicted from the front bushes, I am extremely pleased.  I will not be pleased if he tries to put anything back except for lilac bushes.  Can you imagine standing with your kitchen window open as you do the dishes while a gentle breeze brings in the wonderful lilac scent?  Bliss.

Going shopping this weekend!  So excited.  I'm hoping to get some new clothes or maybe some shoes or maybe a coat or maybe, well, you get the idea.

So shopping and then supper at Perkins.  Can't wait.

And I think I'll stop the rambling here.

Delurk?

So I was checking my stats and I see that I have people who have read my blog.

!!!

!!!

Cool!

I was wondering if everyone could leave me just a quick comment on where they are from ('cause I'm nosy like that) or maybe something they would like me to post about ('cause I'm running out of ideas) or maybe just how awesome you think I am ('cause I am needy and also delusional).

If you have a blog, I will totally visit and delurk as well!


Thanks a bunch, people!

(Please let there be at least one comment or else I will feel like a dork.  T_T)
