New Years Resolution #1
Become ambidextrous.
Or at least a bit more ambidextrous… Cause painting my right hand nails is HARD otherwise.

Don't drink and drive - and don't ride with...
[I really like this idea!]
Very Exciting News:
My cat’s home!
As I was walking out the front door with “LOST” signs in hand, I turned towards the back glass door and there she was pawing to get in!
Just in time, I’d say.
And so, in honor of the celebration, I got her a pretty collar and tag.
Christmas Gift to the Boys:
Me: What are these called anyway?
Keshia: Cupcakes!
Me: But technically, they're muffins.
Keshia: Yea, but they have frosting on top so that makes them cupcakes.
Me: Muffcakes! They're muffcakes!
Keshia: Don't ever say that again.
Me: Is cuffins better?
It will be 72 hours tomorrow morning.
The cat’s still missing. I’m beginning to worry.

I’ve erased this twice. Why do I make it so hard on myself these days? I wonder if I’m trying to hold myself up to some unrealistic expectations as though I’m going to be judged for… this.
I suppose they’re right. Phase One does equal denial. It’s the stage in which nothing is immediate as we humans like it to be. We have our instant gratification and our...
It's 9:30pm.
I kinda’ want to be in bed by 10:30pm but I kinda’ want to watch another movie.
I hate decisions.
I should probably just read instead.

Once again I am proven right.
I’m just not digging the American made movies anymore… Still.

So that dress I was going to get for New Years.
I ordered it on Christmas and got it in the post today. I think Poetrie.com has some little elves or something as I was expecting that dress in on Thursday at the earliest.
Probably the best customer service ever.
So yea, you ladies should think about checking them out.
They have some of the cutest things. (But, I think they’re relatively new since their selection is rather small in...
I was going to go to work today.
But because late last night was kinda’ retarded and the fact that I need to run some errands, I’m not going to go.
I’m sure they’re excruciatingly slow like we were on Thursday.
I just can’t believe it had to come to a fight over Mac vs PC for my night to go all stupidfied.
So right now, I’m going to make me something to eat, dry my hair, and go out. I know...
It's going to be good.
So what if we got 3-5 inches of snow yesterday and last night? I’m going to go see “Black Swan” anyway and then I’m going to get some Mexican food.
Cause I need to get out of my house.
But I promise to go really slow and be very, very careful. I have a feeling there may be a bit of ice out tonight.
I hate postponing.
Which would seem really odd as I am always late to everything.
But now, I’m sitting here showered and the only thing I really should do is go grocery shopping.
I love lazy days, sure, but I despise boring days.
[But at least someone snowplowed our driveway this time around!]
I quit my job last night.
Or, I did in my dream due to the other girl changing everything around.
Apparently my subconscious is more emotionally involved in my job than my conscious is which I find really odd.
But either way, I’m off to the cinema today and I’m going to do lunch somewhere before hand.
But I really should consider going to the grocery store today as well. (I have a lot of coupons that are...
Oooo!
And I have a whole other day off work to sit in the comfort of my house and watch another couple of films and finish another book.
I’m very excited now.
And, since I was smart and parked my car in a flat area (rather than at the bottom of the hill where I wouldn’t be able to get out), I can probably go to the cinemas and see “Black Swan” too after catching lunch with my...
jamesraymond asked: awww that's so nice you met brandon. i actually had no idea who he was, but papyrus plays a lot of chill singer / songwriter stuff and that's one of the songs i've heard a lot since i started there. i forced my other friend that works there to find out who it was ahaha.
The Pillow Fort: The Netherlands →
ryanpurtill:
I just read that Dutch police arrested 12 Somalis on Christmas Eve on suspicion of plotting an imminent terrorist attack on the Netherlands.
The Netherlands? Who would ever want to hurt the Netherlands? It is an entire country of fair-haired blue-eyed children eating chocolate and handing out…
It’s true. The Netherlands smells just like marshmallows and sunrises.

Night
This is more than the fifth time this week that I’ve been up past 1am. I haven’t any excuse as of late but I’m noticing a trend, a habit I must have very recently picked up.
I’m beginning to dislike nights. It’s the time of day when we’re all expected to find route to our warm beds and sleep the hours away until dawn. This happens to be the very time in...
Yet Another Pet Peeve:
Mass “Merry Christmas” texts.
I mean, what if I had to pay 10 cents for that? Not to say I do but if I did, I’d be pissed.
What’s worse is the person not responding after you text back. Annoying.
Just ordered the New Years Dress.
I’m crossing fingers and toes that it gets here in time. Otherwise, that will be very upsetting.

A Fragment.
If curiosity kills, I’m at a loss why we’re even still here to begin with. I’ve noticed a change in atmospheric pressure suddenly and can’t distinguish the cause of the leak. Maybe there wasn’t one to begin with but it just came with the change of weather patterns. Interestingly enough, we’re both standing on eggshells now; I find it hard to believe that...

Just took a sleep aid.
Only to ensure that I’m not up all night with my mind reeling per the last few days. Conversations I need to have, should have, things I need to do or shouldn’t have done at all. I think it’s time to quiet them down and go to sleep.
If they’re still there tomorrow, I may be forced to write it all out. That’s only going to take me 6 or so hours, long-hand.
But I...
Traditions:
Me: So what are you doing for Christmas, Xmas, Jesus's birthday?
MO: You know, the traditions. Going down to the soup kitchen, feeding the homeless, washing their feet.
Me: Oh, bathing the homeless? Awesome.
MO: Yea, you know, the usual.
Me: Obviously.
Worst Idea Ever:
Eating two McDonald’s burgers.
Now I can’t sleep, I feel like I’m two breaths away from a stroke, and the stomach hurts.
Never again. Fast food no longer loves me.
(First sign of turning into a health freak?)
I'm not expecting a phone call.
Why would anyone even consider that? I’m tired from the lack of sleep lately and would like to take a nap and leave the showering for later this evening but prior to all of that, I’m not expecting a phone call.
I was told a couple days ago that I would receive one yesterday. I forgot, per usual, until I saw the person who mentioned calling at the bar last night. Apologies were made...
Dear Santa:
I’ve had a rough year this year and yet, I still feel like I’ve been rather nice. All I ask is for you to give me time to concentrate on not backpedaling the progress I feel like I’ve made on myself, my life, and my priorities this year.
I’m scared I’ve lost it again. Just give me time and a change of scenery so I know for sure that I’m still feeling...

I've heard it's Opposite Day today.
Which would explain tonight rather nicely actually.
I say that in the best way possible, of course.
