I hate when it's not my birthday anymore ( Read more... )

Mornings are not my friend. I was going to wear a cute little skirt today, but I was so out of it that I cut myself shaving my legs in the shower approximately twenty times. Per leg. Now I can't wear a cute little skirt because the eye will be drawn away from said cuteness to the horrible gashes in my leg flesh. I shouldn't even try to be cute. ( Read more... )

I read an article in the NY Times today about e-cigarettes. These are battery-powered devices that give "an odorless dose of nicotine and flavoring without cigarette tar or additives, and produced a vapor mist nearly identical in appearance to tobacco smoke." I can only assume these are for very serious smokers who can't seem to stop no matter ( Read more... )

I got my passport! I got my passport! Sure, I look like an axe murderer in my picture--really quite unflattering--but I got my passport!!!!!

One of the two young men on the treadmills near me ( Read more... )

Dear lord, the gym in the morning is a whole different animal than the gym at night. I have difficulty with morning people in general but gym morning people? Egad! Still, I have a certain sense of satisfaction in having already completed my workout for the day. Of course, now I feel like napping and I have to go to work. That's the flaw in my

My acting abilities leave a lot to be desired.
Damn, I always thought I had a poker face but it turns out no. No, not at all.
This is not useful.

This weekend I am going to devote myself to reading and relaxing, the goal being to enjoy myself. I've had a houseguest for the last week but she's gone out of town and the beau is not coming into town. I have a few blessed days of complete alone time, and I am gleeful, thinking about them. I am practically salivating ( Read more... )
