Quite Possibly, Maybe

  • Last night, I caught the end of House Hunters and was astonished to discover that there exists a woman in New Orleans who has decorated her entire house in Mickey Mouse memorabilia.
  • One of my favorite restaurants, Temari, is closed on Tuesday. Every Tuesday. Every. Single. Tuesday. And yet? I keep going on Tuesdays and getting very, very sad when I see no one inside to make me butter soup.
  • Last week I had my final exams for a couple of classes I am taking/was taking/took. Having gone an entire semester without opening my text books (and yet still getting very high marks, go me!), I wasn't surprised that I didn't know the answers to some of the questions. I was surprised, however, that I completely blanked on my design exam and kept getting "typography," "typeface" and "font" confused. Uh, hel-lo?! What do you DO for a living, Canary? Huh? Crikies.
  • I have added Most Haunted on the Travel Channel to my List of Unhealthy Addictions. The show makes me cry, especially when the telepathic ghostie guy starts talking like he's the spirit. But I can't stop watching. It's a sickness, I tell you.
  • I caved and bought ant traps to kill the ants living in my kitchen. I tried the whole "live and let live" thing, but when I saw those nasty carpenter ants eating my deck, I decided to fry those little buggers. This morning I saw one rather large ant crawling out of the small, white box laced with poisonous insecticide. I leaned in towards it and said quietly, "Eat up little ant. Black Flag assures me that you AND your colony will be gone in no time. KILL THE QUEEN!" Evil. I know. The Cat's rubbing off on me.
  • I can NOT stop thinking about the house I want to buy next year. I even contacted a realtor who kindly told me that I was jumping the gun a tad, but to start visiting open houses so that I could determine the area I wanted most to be in. So? I am. Just as soon as I turn 30 because I'm uber busy between now and then.
  • Today in the mail I got a giant purple button that sings the Yahoo! slogan when pressed. All day long, all you can hear from my office is, "Ya-hooooooooo-oooo-oooo!" It's fantastic. And also annoying. But more fantastic.
  • Tonight my company's bowling league starts. How excited am I?! I suck at bowling, but I get to wear a totally rad retro-style bowling shirt with my name embroidered on it. I'm going to rock that shirt like the Casbah.
  • Along the same lines, I learned that there is a local KICKBALL LEAGUE! I love kickball. Love it like Johnny Depp, only without the dirty hotness.
  • There is a lady that works in my building who uses her cell phone in the bathroom. Her multitasking is yucky. And I don't like that some stranger on the other end of her conversation can hear me peeing. Not cool.
  • Today I told my HR director that my job position was a "hot mess." I think that sums it up nicely.
  • I unearthed an old friend on Facebook. That he is married and has two young kids totally fa-reaks me out. Don't ask me why.
  • There is a picture of a garden gnome hanging on my office wall. It's there because it makes me laugh. My collegues don't understand me.
  • Lately, I can't relax at night unless I eat some cookies. What is that all about?
  • The last two nights I have slept like the dead. Literally. I wake up in the morning flat on my back, my arms crossed over my chest, and my blankets pristinely unrumpled. S'weird.
  • There are two artist's mannequins (little ones) in my office. They were supposed to be used for a photo shoot we were doing, but that sucked so now they just hang out on my conference table. It's funny, because people keep sneaking in here and re-posing them. Currently, the two are fighting Matrix-style, with one in mid-fall, arms flailing. I'm waiting for the positions to become, um... compromising. That will be a hoot-'n-a-half.
  • Ya-hooooooooo-oooo-oooo!

Peace out.

*shakes head*

You are thinking about this all wrong. You need to deal with this situation like a guy. They may be hearing you, but they are thinking it is her. So, you need to load up on dairy, broccoli, and beans and then do, well, umm, something really loud.

So the other day you were watching house flipping shows and now House Hunters? We're like TV twins.

I would watch video of your workplace. Like The Office or something.

Have you ever been hit in the head with a kickball after it's been kicked REALLY hard? Let's just say the game then starts being less fun.

But I say GO FOR IT anyway!

malaise - Ooh. I don't know if I could do that... Don't get me wrong. I'm not squeamish about stuff like that, will laugh at a good fart joke, and can belch like a sailor, but... I don't think I can get flatulent in the public bathroom. I have to draw a line somewhere and public flatulence is it :-)

rudecactus - We are! I'm telling you, we were separated at birth.

wunelle - You'd be disappointed, my friend. My office isn't that comical. We have our moments, but by and large... *shaking head*

brianalt - Danger and the fear of maiming makes the game even better! It's not kickball unless someone gets knocked unconscious :)
