Thanks for the fish

so hard to get motivated to do anything lately! “Worked from home” because of the snow storm. It’s much nicer to be home and have nothing to do rather than be at work. Yesterday I got so desperate that I actually found a website that would pop up a random website for you because I was pretty convinced I had actually reached the end of the world wide web. I thought maybe I’d find an omen to point me in the right direction. But mostly I just got german sites that I couldn’t understand. Oh well! I did do a little bit of work today in between laundry and dishes and cooking and piano and taking funny pictures of the cats, such as:

hee hee! Then I crashed out on the couch with my little T-bone steak (see catnip stoned cat above). Happy hour was pretty funny last night. I got a little tipsy (my boss is a pusher) and divulged all the secrets of the women’s restroom. Did I already tell all this? Wait, I have to check. Ok, no I didn’t. Anyhoo… J let me open 2 presents so far and they are both books about kayaking (which are as much for him as they are for me, but hey, that’s ok. ; ) ) I only got him one present - it’s DVD box set called Cosmos - something about space by Carl Sagan. I dunno… I just picked from the lists this year. Today was great though… got to do stuff I needed to do before the trip. Hopefully the weather will hold out. This winter has been utterly ridiculous so far. Snow every other day. I walked out to the compost pile and almost disappeared in the snow. Would be perfect for snowshoeing though! If only I had time. I think I also threw out my back (probably that damn New York city ballet workout… plie.. releve…plie..releve… ).

hmm… Well, I’m looking forward to the trip. Should be fun. I wish things would get resolved on the job front, but I guegss I just have to accept that some people are slower than death. I overdrew my checking account for the 3rd time this month. I don’t know what the deal is. I mean I’ve never balanced my checkbook before.. why should it come back to bite me now? I think it’s the price of gas. I need to get more organized. I need to pay my bills. I need a job that pays more money! C’mon people!

I have to give a presentation at a meeting tomorrow. I should prepare, but I don’t really care anymore. Well, I’ll go over it a few times. OH my god, I’m tehcnically still on the clock! I wonder if my apple tart is done…

went to happy hour with my department. My boss is a total pusher, and I”m the only one that got (willingly) pushed. But hey, I got 3 free cosmos out of hte deal… and presents too! Golly do I feel guilty now. : ) Ohwell… guess I’ll get over it.

I had something to say and now I forgot it… Oh! Ok, this is what I’ve learned from the men in my life:

1st love: The ones you least expect screw you over and hurt you.
2nd: Bad boys are good for some things, but not good for the long term. Experiences are good to be gone through though.
3rd: ones the charm
and the encore: excitement and stimulation must be had, but in the end you have to realize that some things are not meant to be.

The end.

I’m pooped and just had a carrot cake whoopie pie.
