I enjoy a nice night in to myself. At first, I was bummed out that my sister was going out and my mom was going to bed.
But I:
I want all of Zooey Deschanel’s clothes in the film. And her bangs.
I suck at blogging these days. I love doing it, I love reading others. But I feel like mine are lacking, and I can honestly say a large part of it is my lack of personal pictures to keep it interesting. I do a lot and see a lot (we won 2nd place at Pub Stumpers last night, saw Christmas lights, and even exchanged some small presents), but you can’t see what is going on in my life. Soon though…really soon.
I passed up an opportunity to make this weekend a 3-day weekend before Thanksgiving and I’m regretting that. I just want to sleep in and relax and enjoy the holidays. But I’ll be working tomorrow and Saturday. Both days until 1, so that’s a half day and not so bad. Still, I relish the ability to stay in my pajamas for a long time and not rush to go somewhere or do something.
Though I love going somewhere and doing something.
I can’t stop going these days. It really does feel like my life is crazy crazy crazy. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I may be grumpily exhausted, but I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Whether I’m somewhere with friends or even running errands by myself, I like doing something, anything. Because that’s what being young is about. I pride myself on the fact that I keep work separate. I don’t take it home with me, and a lot of people make that mistake (I am pretty early in though, so this could change. It took me almost 2 years to get sick of my previous job.). I’m not working my dream career. And yeah, sometimes the job, the people, the work can be stressful, infuriating, or annoying. There have been times I’ve wanted to cry (but never beyond the situation itself). But I’m making money and I have health insurance and in times like this, I’m very blessed to have both of these. It might not be what I always thought I would do, but I have time after work and on the weekends to work on those goals and dreams. I feel like too many people get all caught up in how they aren’t doing what they want instead of appreciating what they have right now. We all do that, though, in all different aspects of our life. But I’m happy that once I’m home, I’m home.
Speaking of, I will be relaxing the next few days, for the holidays. I plan on watching a couple movies tonight (I’m thinkin’ Extract and All About Steve) and staying warm in comfy clothes because I am freezing. I’m worried that I won’t be able to stay settled for long. I already have plans for the movie theater lined up. And I don’t plan on stopping there.
I think the point of my blogging today was to say that I hope to make this blog more interesting, or at least as interesting as it was before (if it even was before), as soon as I can get my hands on a digital camera (Um, Friday please?). Regardless, I’ll keep doing it because I love to do it. But I’d like you out there to enjoy it as well.
And um…YAY! I don’t care…I love the show. The first movie is good, though I do feel it paled in comparison to the amazingness of the show. But fabulous friends in fabulous clothes talking about relationships and love and life and fashion…well, I cannot say no to that!!!!!
I completely agree that she is crazy. But aren’t we all? She makes pop music art. Not many people do that anymore. I have to hear “3” by Britney Spears a thousand times a day at work and it is so completely over-processed with crappy lyrics and no emotion. I think Lady Gaga puts heart and soul and insanity into what she does, making it a bit weirder but still fun to dance to. Maybe it’s because she actually writes her songs (and they are almost believable. Is it wrong that, even though I enjoyed the song, “Single Ladies” bothered me because Beyonce is married and can’t relate to the song anymore?). And, have you noticed the sudden influx of leotards in music videos? If not, see here, here, and here. I think we can all credit Lady Gaga for that. And the 80s, but really no one has worn them for real since then. And, I guess they are easier to dance in.
I don’t know what it is. She’s marching to the beat of her own drummer and it’s working for her. Maybe it is because she’s unabashedly out of her mind. Maybe we don’t feel so crazy after all. Or maybe we just get sucked into catchy pop songs and we can’t help but watch celebrities who make us look.
Nothing seemed to be going right yesterday. It was Friday, so I was thisclose to the weekend, but at work we also happen to be open an extra hour and the day just could not move fast enough. I got laughed at by a member for making (and instantly correcting) a small mistake, the heater in my car refused to work (this happens but it usually kicks on in 5 minutes…my 20 minute drive home was icy), Burger King decided to discontinue Cheesy Tots (I no longer have a reason to go there anymore!), a couple of family Christmas commercials made me tear up (I’m always emotional, but that was too much) and I didn’t eat anything from noon to 10 PM.
Regardless, it’s the weekend now! So everything that sucked just made it that much more enjoyable to be home, watch The Hangover with my dad and sister, drink some sangria, and sleep in today. Sure, sleeping in for me is only anywhere from 8-9:30. But I can stay in bed and watch TV until I’m ready to move, instead of grumpily rolling out of bed or hitting the snooze repeatedly. They are calling for snow, and I’m not sure how to feel about it. It’s the company Christmas party tonight, so a part of me feels bad if I can’t make it. But the other part doesn’t really want to go so…heh heh.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
And can you believe it? This time next week, Christmas will be over! So make sure to get in the spirit before it’s too late!
I love being out of the house as much as possible, but it takes it’s toll. I am exhausted and never want to wake up for work. I’m anticipating the weekend just so I can sleep in.
This week was good as always. I wish I had photos to share with you. Tuesday was Pub Stumpers We didn’t win this time…but I still always have a blast. Yesterday was fantastic, though. A few of us have been tossing the idea around of decorating old tees, so we finally picked up some gear and went at it last night. I love being hands on and crafty…I just never do it. We all sponged and brushed and splattered and sprayed paint on our old gear, making it new again. I wish I could show you everyone’s. Sorry for the quality below…all I have is the webcam….for one more week(?)!
It’s just so nice to do something that doesn’t involve the computer, cell phone, or TV.
Off topic, we have to listen to the radio all the time at work and I hate it. Yes, I studied broadcast in college and I would ideally like to do radio. However, I feel like most stations abuse the same songs over and over. Below are two reasons I don’t mind song repeats…
I don’t really care what you say. Lady Gaga is fantastic. This song is damn catchy and I dare you to say you couldn’t relate to it at some point in your life.
This song makes me want to dance and sing. I love Beyonce. She has a lot of cheese factor, but I’ve always found her extremely gorgeous and feminine. She just looks like a real woman to me.
I am sick of hearing about Tiger Woods.
I miss having a digital camera more than I can even explain.
I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas.
I wish the weekend lasted longer than two days.
I like spending time with my parents.
I can’t wait until my sister is home too.
I miss my London hair.
I cannot get myself to do laundry.
I bought a Hip Hop exercise DVD and I love it.
These pictures are hot.
Why can’t dreams come true?
Oooh boy(s). I could go on.
P.S. Check this out. I’ve loved it since high school and I still find it funny. It’s where I got my title from. Watch them all.
