You know you're old when someone asks you what you want for Christmas, and all you can come up with is a new popcorn air popper and a side sleeper pillow.
GEEZ.

I absolutely, positively cannot wait to cast my vote tomorrow.
This is like a birthday, first day of school, Christmas eve, an orgasm, and a big piece of cheesecake all rolled into one.
I can't wait.

I spent the entire day prettifying myself, relaxing and doing whatever I damn well pleased. What a fantastic way to spend a Sunday.
I didn't get out of bed until 10 then Sean and I watched Sarah Palin on SNL from the night before. Then I self-tanned, deep- conditioned my hair, put a green mask on my face and watched The Hills and the Project Runway finale. Ran some errands and ate a yummy steak salad for dinner. The only thing that could have made this day better would be some wine. ...and there's still time for that.

I had a very very sad realization today. I pretty much only watch reality TV. I can only think of one (Dexter) that I watch with Sean that actually has writers on its staff.
To amend that, I'm adding Crash to my TiVo even though I should probably just stop watching trash all together instead.
What am I not watching that I should be?

Further proof that absolutely everyone I've ever known in my life is pregnant right now: Melissa from RW New Orleans is having a baby. So, I don't know her know her but I am still so happy that she's going to be a mama. If you've been reading her blog, you know that she's been trying to have a baby for awhile now.
Are all the stars aligning in such a way that everyone is exceptionally fertile? Is there something in the water that's causing everyone to have babies right this second? Was it a very boring spring and everyone spent their time getting it on?
Babies babies everywhere. And I've totally got the baby fever bug right now.

What the hell is there to do in Canton/Jackson, MS? I have to fly there next weekend for work and I'm not too excited about the thought of being there for 3 days on my own. I also have to do another one of these long weekend trips in October. This time to oh-so-exciting Smyrna, TN. Why can't I go somewhere exciting? Hawaii? San Francisco? I'd so be down with that! Or atleast send me to the middle-of-nowheresville during the week. HMPH.
I just keep telling myself, "I love my job. I love my job. I love my job." Lather, rinse, repeat.

We went to go visit the new little baby today and I think I fell in love with her. We ended up bringing a bouquet of flowers (containing sunflowers which are mama's fav and lilies because baby's name is Lily!) and a CD with Metallica music made into lullabies because that's daddy's favorite band. Sorry, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) nico, we decided not to go with a replacement vagina as a baby gift.
We ended up staying at the hospital for a few hours and now I'm officially obsessed with babies. Basically if I know you and you're a female, you are either pregnant, just had a baby or are trying to have a baby. Hopefully, someday that will be me. For now, I have a cute furry doggie that is currently asleep on the floor.
In other news, I'm running again at the gym and my body is sore and in pain. I think maybe I'm one of those people who should only run if in extreme danger because every time I run on the treadmill, I hurt for days. WTF? I have to run a 5k in December, so I really have no choice, but if training for this is going to be so awful it's going to be a difficult few months.
I now have two Al Franken signs (one in my living room window and one in my front yard) and an Obama sign. I have this weird feeling that they're going to get taken, I don't know why.

Question for the mamas:
If you just gave birth what would you have wanted someone to bring to you?
It seems like everyone I know is pregnant right now. Sean's friend's wife just gave birth today and I'd like to bring them something but I have no idea what this occasion calls for. Normally I'd do something for the baby, but I already gave them that stuff at the shower.
Flowers? Something to feed them even though they have family in town? Cigars for the dad? Champagne? Haha, champagne seems highly inappropriate but I don't know. Help?
Where is Miss Manners for her rules of etiquette when I need her?

UMMMMM. WHAT???
The first comment made me LOL. Seriously.
"Not only is Sarah Palin an inspiration to America, but to all brides looking for a classic hairdo. ;-)" THANK GOD the VP candidate can inspire people's wedding hair. Give me a break!!
God, politics is such a circus. Please get me some popcorn, I'm really going to enjoy watching the next few months play out.

I thought I was taking a break from politics. I guess my actons in the past couple of days have made that almost impossible. Since Sunday night I have:
+ met a Republican from D.C. in a gay bar in St. Paul while a drag show was happening 20 feet away
+ enjoyed the best thing about the RNC (4 AM bar close, baby)
+ gotten into a debate/conversation with one of the most conservative people I know about Palin's merits
+ walked around downtown St. Paul during the RNC witnessing protesters and lots of police
+ met some fine older gentlemen from the great state of Texas. I asked one of them what they thought of Minnesota, he said, "It's cold here even in the summer." Ha!
+ went to a happy hour about youth and politics
+ talked with the political director for the Obama campaign in Minnesota who is brilliant
I guess I should just give up this break from politics shit. It's an election year! Who am I kidding?

I threw out my the rest of my old business cards today. It's was like a symbolic purging of "out with the old, in with the new" and damn, it felt great.
I know I haven't posted anything really about my new job. It's probably because I don't want to jinx it. I'm so happy here that it's truly amazing. I come home somedays and tell Sean, "I love my job so much!" And it's true, I do. I love my job, the company I work for, what they stand for, my boss is awesome. Everything is just falling into place and I couldn't be happier.
I never knew how unhappy I really was at my old company until I came here and realized that not everyone is under huge workplace pressures and not crying at work isn't a mark of a good day in the office. It really is like night and day. I love my job, I love what I do and there are so many things I do and am exposed to that would never happen at the big, icky corporation that I was involved in before.
The first day I was here, I unknowingly had a long conversation at the microwave with the COO. Titles don't so much impress me, they intimidate me, but this was the most genuine and open conversation I've ever had with someone at that level. Wait, scratch that. It's the only conversation I've had with someone at that level. Usually they're too busy looking down from their tower to have those type of conversations.
I had a dream last night that I got laid off from my job here. I was so shaken from the thought of having to go work somewhere else that I physically could not get out of bed. I had to force myself to fall back asleep in the hopes that I'd dream about something else and forget about the previous nightmare.
I never thought I'd get to this place and I'm so glad that I'm here. Here's hoping that the honeymoon period lasts as long as possible!

2:20 pm - Kaela's Baby Pool
|
stopityoumonkey's having a baby! For those of you who know her, you already know that Kaela and Adam are having a cute baby. I love babies because it means baby pools (I'm slightly obsessed with these), so I'm organizing this one on livejournal. You fill out the poll and I'll send a fabulous prize to whoever gets the most number of points. And no, the fabulous prize does not include their baby.
Poll #1244725 Baby Pool!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: NoneGender: Birthday: (For reference, the baby's due date is 12.18.08!) Time of birth: (Include AM or PM.) Weight: (In pounds and ounces.) Height: (In inches.)

I am ridiculously excited that they are moving The Time Traveler's Wife into a movie. Usually I hate movie adaptations of books that I really enjoyed reading. There are a few exceptions (of course, I can't think of any of them right now...) where the movie has been as good as the book, but in my opinion, book trumps movie.
I'm reading David Sedaris' new book, When You Are Engulfed in Flames (is that what it's called? I'm too lazy to google right now) and it's wonderful, as always. He can make anything into a damn funny story.
Up next, I think I need to read some Wayne Dyer to help quiet my mind. There's nothing like a good dose of self help/hippy-dippy/life manual type reading to make me happy and calm. Seriously.

I had a minor skin emergency that had been plaguing me this whole summer, but thanks to demonrapunzel, it's finally over! Ding dong the greasies are gone! Big ups to Miss. demonrapunzel for her suggestion of Angels on Bare Skin and a toner from LUSH whose name is escaping me right now. ♥!!
I'm also wanting to place a retro Lush order, but Antiphilitron shampoo continues to be out of stock. They do have Happy and Marzibain bubble bars, Gumback Express (which I'm slightly scared of and will probably ditch first) and Absolute Delight in stock which I really want to order.
I'm semi-upset that I love Lush again because their stuff is so expensive! So good, but so crazy ridiculously outrageously expensive. Note to self: win lottery, buy fabulous bath products. In that order.

Has making mix-cds totally jumped the shark? I think I’m coming to the conclusion that I am really out of touch with kids these days. And the fact that I just typed out “kids these days” further proves that point.
I am currently putting together a mental list of things that I’d like to send my brother as a sort of care package to let him know that I’m thinking about him. Plus, he just graduated from college, so my plan also includes helpful things like Chipotle gift cards and a roll of quarters to make sure that he eats and has clean clothes.
I wanted to also include a CD with songs that remind me of him and us growing up (Kanye West’s Family Business, Simon and Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, Paperboy’s Ditty, etc.) but then I realized that he probably wouldn’t have any way to listen to it unless he put it in his computer and sat there listening to it. He doesn’t own a car, I’m pretty sure that he doesn’t own a CD player and the only way that I know he listens to music is through his iPod.
So what do I do? Send him a CD and be that old person? Forget this thought entirely?
To date myself further (that seems weird grammatically…), when I first met Sean I made him a mix tape (a TAPE!!!) with all of my current favorite songs. The last song on the tape, which is always the most important, was Lil Kim’s Crush on You. Yes, I was sending that message loud and clear and yes, I listened to a lot of Lil Kim in high school. Around that time I also gave him black and white car dice which he thought was the most perfect present that I could ever give him and he still has them today hanging in his office. AWWWWW.

I'm having the most delicious dinner right now.
+ edamame with sea salt
+ mushroom turnovers from TJs
+ steamed artichoke
Deeeeelicious!
Thank god some kind soul introduced me to edamame because I might have never otherwise tried it since I don't ever eat sushi (once again with the irrational phobia!) and it's so yummy.
What are you eating/did you eat for dinner?

I have to share this disgusting tip from My Vegetarian Times that I got in an email today. Now first, I think I must preface this by saying that I’m not quite sure how I got signed up for this mailing list. I’m definitely not a vegetarian as much as sometimes I think I’d like to be. And secondly, I think I should also say that I am a total weirdo when it comes to water. I think the thought of stagnant water is disgusting, I hate most brands of bottled water and I refuse to drink water from the tap. I’m a water snob, okay? I admit it.
So, I get this water consumption tip in an email. I went into reading it thinking that it was going to talk about how to take shorter showers, or change your water heater so it’s more energy efficient. No, this is what is said:
The one thing I’ve had a hard time changing is my water consumption. From time to time, I love a long, hot bath and I’m sorry, no quick shower can take its place. You can’t read a magazine in the shower, after all. Nor can you soak away stress or muscle aches.
As I was getting out of last night’s bath—and feeling a little guilty—I had a light bulb moment. Rather than drain the tub of relatively clean water (Now that I’m using all-natural soaps and shampoos), I left it to cool. This morning, I brought an assortment of plastic bottles and two watering cans to the bathroom, filled them with the tub water, and watered my window boxes and herb garden. By the time I was done, there was only about 2 gallons of liquid left to drain. That’s less water than your average five-minute shower uses. So I can schedule another good soak in two or three days—by which time the geraniums and basil will be thirsty once more.
No no no no no, a million times no. Even if this is totally safe and perfectly fine (which is doubtful in my opinion even taking into consideration my fear of water), I can’t imagine watering my garden – which contains herbs that I’m planning to eat someday!! – with filthy water that was once used to clean my body.
Even if it’s somehow more clean due to using all-natural soaps (what does that have to do with it anyway??) it’s still water that you naked, dirty body came in contact with. SICK! Plus, you have to keep it in the tub overnight to cool, which in my mind equates to a big bacteria fest in your bathroom.
Am I over reacting or is this truly disgusting?
------------
P.S. I really need to write a real update someday about my new job! I'll do that soon.

11:12 pm - this post brought to you by an overly tired, overly emotional basketcase
|
Things I have found difficult to do while sobbing:
- Wash your hair
- Apply moisturizer
- Brush your teeth
- Listen to your voicemails
- Convince your dog to go outside
- Stand up without crumpling to the floor
Don't worry, I'm fine. Really. Just exhausted, completely worn-out, hormonally out of whack and just generally ready for this week to be over.
I forgot that livejournal is for being all crazy with your feelings and posting a lot of emo junk. Ha! I have kind of missed it.

I'm in charge of picking the next book for my group of friends to read. Actually, I appointed myself that task because we have been on a 2+ year hiatus from this damn book club and I am set on resurrecting it.
I have decided that as penance for us being so neglectful, we are going to read something super emotional and soul-wrenching.
So, what is the saddest book you have ever read?

Thanks everyone for your vitamin recommendations!
As you all are so damn helpful, does anyone know of a non-mall-based jewelry store with friendy, non-harassing employees that is in the Minneapolis area?
I may or may not be engagement ring shopping.

My doctor tells me I need to take CoQ10 for my migraines. I also need some more Valerian Root, so a trip to GNC is in order.
Tell me everything you know abut vitamins and what I should be taking, because honestly, I don't take a damn thing; not even a Flintstones vitamin.

Also in case you were wondering, The Happening is a really shitty movie.
I was waiting the whole time to spot M. Night's cameo and never saw him. When I googled to find out where he was in the movie (because his ego wouldn't let him not be in there somewhere) and found the answer, that sealed the deal and was the worst movie I've seen in 2008.
Don't bother seeing it.

I'm only 50 pages in, but in case you were wondering, you should definitely pick up this book.
And now James Frey has gone on the list of authors whose books I will read no matter what the topic.

So, I quit my job today! What a fantastic feeling... After my big event tomorrow, I think it will really sink in and I will feel freeeeee as a bird, light as a feather and stiff as a board. Wait, what...?
My current gay kindergarten crush is Jeff Lewis. He's so neurotic, I love him.
When he said that what the lenders were doing (i.e. reacting to the shitty economy and appraising houses less than they used to) was reverse fraud, I laughed by myself for far too long.
Now, a poll about hair.
Poll #1210569 Hair!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllHow much do you pay when you get your hair cut? Where do you get your hair cut? (Salon, Great Clips, friend, etc.) Do you get your hair colored profesionally?

At some point in my life, I'll write about my really fun trip this weekend to Washington D.C., but for now, I'll just talk about some really good books I've read/am reading right now.
On the plane ride to D.C., I finished Love is a Mix Tape by Rob Sheffield. I actually bought this book for my lazy trip to Mexico, but never got around to reading it. It's definitely a vacation type of book, but it's not fluffy. Boy loves music meets girl who loves music and they enjoy music together.
On the plane ride home, I both started and finished Water for Elephants thanks to bad weather in the area and staying grounded in the plane for hours. (Ugh...) I haven't been really into reading much fiction lately, but this book definitely ended that drought for me. I loved it. It's really well written and has such detail written about the characters and life in the circus.
And then today, I picked up two books that were waiting for me at the library:
+ Bright Shiny Morning - James Frey
+ Snuff - Chuck Palahniuk
I really REALLY can't wait to read both of these.

11:36 am - 96 days
|
There are 96 days between today and Labor Day.
In that time, I am going to:
+ lose 14 pounds. There's a little less than 14 weeks between now and then. I can lose a pound a week no problem, right?
+ save an extra $600. There are 8 paychecks between now and then end of Labor Day week. If I throw another $75 into what I'm already saving, that'll be an extra $600 right there.
+ work out on the elliptical for 3,780 minutes. The way I like to do this is 2 days on (30 minutes/day) one day off, lather, rinse repeat.
+ get a new fucking job (hopefully!)
+ travel to Washington DC, hopefully Chicago again and side trips to Stillwater and maybe Lanesboro, MN (Amish country!)
+ completely organize my closet and finally donate clothes that I'm never going to wear again
+ ditto to the above, except replace clothes with shoes
Anyone else want to get in on this 96 day plan with me?

I think it's a bad sign that I couldn't even find my work-out gear tonight before leaving for the gym. Yeah... It's been that long since I've been there.
But, I went, burned 500 calories, and got the eff out. Only to come home and eat a pudding pop! yummyyummyyummy.
Rhetorical question that really only I can answer, but why do I continue to go on interviews for jobs that I really don't want for one reason or another? Maybe because I'm desperate for a change? Hate my job? Am jealous of everyone else who doesn't want to rip out their eyelashes when they are in meeting with people who are very respectful? Blah.
I wish there was more time in the day because then I would catch up with everyone in my life that I haven't talked to lately. I am missing a lot of people right now.

Book review time!
+ A Wolf at the Table - Augusten Burroughs. Meh, it's definitely not his best book. I thought it could have started out a little better and maybe then I would have been more engaged. It seemed really rushed and hurriedly put together. Maybe he was on a strict deadline from his publisher after Running With Scissors?
+ Seeing Me Naked - Liza Palmer. What a fun chick book. I think I finished it in two days which is unheard of in my life lately.
+ Kabul Beauty School - Deborah Rodriguez. I started reading this on the flight home today from Chicago. I'll probably finish it tonight. I love it. Simple, interesting reading.
I'm also really excited to read James Frey's Bright Shiny Morning. I don't care about that scandal in the past. I think he's a brilliant writer and I can't wait to read his newest book.

We're going to Chicago in a couple of weeks for my brother's graduation. What are the must-do things in Chi-town? ...besides Kanye*! ;)
*Hahaha, just kidding. Maybe.

Things I never seem to have enough of:
+ Time on the weekends
+ Sports bras
+ Delicious/easy/healthy things to make for dinner
+ Cash when I need it and only have credit cards
+ Eggs (I always run out at the most inopportune times)
+ Lipstick in shades that I actually like
Things I seem to have an overabundance of:
+ Frequent flyer miles that I never use
+ Free t-shirts
+ Garbage bags
+ Perfume
+ Shoes that hurt my feet but I love so I can't get rid of
+ Random trivia floating through my head
+ Books on my to-read list

Confession: I didn't notice until about 10:00 am that the cardigan sweater I was wearing was inside-out.
OOPS.
That's pretty embarassing.

It's one of those Dragon Days like Alicia Keys says...
I'm doing all I can to just make it through the day without killing someone or eating everything sight.
When I blowdryed my hair last night, I could tell by the overabundance of frizz that it would rain tsometime today. Weather prediction for tonight: 60% chance of rain. MMMM, thunderstorms. I think that's my most favorite weather. Sunny during the day and then thunderstorms at night.
I just signed up for a CSA with my Dad's wife. Here's hoping that I don't get swindled like last year. That was pretty awful. I can't wait to get farm-fresh vegetables soon! I've really been craving green stuff lately.
I have the Salute Your Shorts theme song stuck in my head right now. WTF?

What: Chuck Palahniuk promoting his forthcoming novel, Snuff
When: May 21st, 7:00pm
Where: Triple Rock, 18+
Cost: $30.00, and you leave with a signed copy of Snuff
Why should you go? Because it's Chuck-freakin'-Palahniuk!
Alexis is going to be doing a Q&A wuth Mr. Palahniuk. While I kinda think Girl Friday is slightly, erm, annoying, I really want to try to see Chuck Palahniuk in person. Is anyone else planning on going?

I've re-done my iPod shuffle which is what I listen to at the gym. I can't wait to go work out today and listen to it! I realized the other day that I had zero Erykah Badu on there. I had to remedy that ASAP.
I realized yesterday that this week I have been unfairly holding everything over Sean's head and fuming about what I'm not happy with. On Friday, it was bad. I completely ignored him and then stomped off because I didn't want to be around him. I realize that I put all of my dissatisfaction in my life on him and pushed him away when I really needed him the most. Defense mechanism, maybe? I don't know. I'm glad I realized it sooner rather than later.
We spent last night together and it was fabulous. We ate BBQ and then came home and watched some TV and hit the hay because we were both exhausted. I love him.
I just did my taxes and HMPH. I know that you're not supposed to be getting a huge refund because then the deductions aren't set up correctly, but I hate it when I get my refund back and I realize how few Target-trips that will fund.
I WANT SPRING NOW! That's all.

I just want to go home, drink wine and play games on Facebook (Scrabulous and my newest love - Bingo!) all night. Or I'd even settle for wine + a book + a bubble bath. Or just wine and my TiVo. Whatever happens, it needs to involve some a lot of wine.

This just happened about an hour ago. No, it's not a massacre in my kitchen. It's two (not one, but two!) jars of spaghetti sauce that I dropped on the tile floor and they shattered.
I took pictures because I knew someday I could laugh at this. Not tonight, but someday. The good news is that my floor is sparkling clean right now!
ETA: And what was I wearing of course? A white shirt.

On Thursday, April 24th I think that you all should treat yourself to a fine meal out all while supporting AIDS research and local services for people with HIV/AIDS.
Go here find your city and make plans to go out with everyone you know that night and enjoy yourselves all while donating to organizations that do really good things for people.
Mpls./St. Paul people: I don't know where we're going this year, but if you'd like to join us, you're more than welcome! We usually go to Joe's Garage, but we might be trying something new this time around.

Does anyone else get a massive headache (not necessarily a migraine) when the room that they sleep in is too warm? I've only known this to happen with people in my family. Are we all a bunch of weirdos or does this happen to any of you as well?
In an attempt to trick myself into liking work, I've started only drinking coffee there and only one cup a day. It's not like I'm a total coffee fiend, I've actually only stated drinking it on a regular basis in the pat year or so because it used to give me terrible stomach pains. But holy god I can't wait for that first cup of deliciousness tomorrow at work! The kicker: it's not even good coffee! It's the shitty free stuff from work. Weird, huh?
One last question: for those of you who wax, how often do you get your eyebrows done? Sometimes I think I can go 6 weeks, and other times I feel like I could go every other week! I hate that.
P.S. I watched Murderball this weekend and thought it was great. I totally bawled (but what movie [besides that fucking Funny Games POS] doesn't make me cry lately?) and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Netflix, ahoy, mateys.

Oh, and P.S.
I was crabby this morning when I discovered that Target (and pretty much everything else) was closed for Easter today. I don't think I've ever gone to a store before and not known that it'd be closed. Maybe its because we're not doing anything for Easter (which I am totally fine with!), but today just doesn't seem like a holiday to me.
Luckily Caribou was open so I could at least get some coffee and my entire trip out wasn't completely wasted.

For the record, Funny Games was an AWFUL movie. I feel the need to warm people about it after seeing it last night and suffering through the 2 hours of a really terrible movie. Even though it is about my absolute worst nightmare (intruders coming into your house and completely fucking with your heads) I wasn't scared through out most of the movie and at times I just wanted to throw my hands in the air in a "what the fuck?!" kind of gesture.
The only good conclusion that I came to is that Michael Pitt is sexy ugly and I kind of want to Netflix everything that he's ever been in.

I sometimes get cravings for foods that I must have immediately or I think I might kill someone. Tonight and the night before it was steamed artichokes.
The carnage from last night:
DAMN.
