hello, lovely

Oh my gosh, how quickly things can change in just an evening… and not I’m a good way. Yesterday was very depressing.

I walked into work yesterday morning, high off Tuesday night’s victory for Obama only to have the wind knocked out of me. My “work BFF” was laid off yesterday, and I’m still reeling from the shock of it. Nobody is safe in these hard times, and yesterday was a reminder of that. S is a great girl, and I am sure she will land on her feet, but the rest of us admins sure do miss her.

On top of that, I am pissed off at my fellow Californians for passing a completely stupid proposition. To my friends who are in a same-sex relationship, I am so sorry you are being treated so unfairly. I hope that one day we will fix this.

(if you couldn’t tell, I have nothing to do right now, so I just typed up this whole post on my iPhone. It looks likes novel on here, but it will probably only be like 2 sentances long once I post this. LOL. I really wish I could read or knit right now, but that’s a little harder to hide if necessary. I am so glad I bought this thing!)

I can’t wait until this weekend. Specifically Saturday.

Do you know why? Because then I can stay up until whenever and I can sleep until whenever, and then I don’t have to get up and do anything crazy like…….. go to work the next day.

I shouldn’t have started the whacked out movie I’m watching right now. It’s almost done, but still … it’s way late.

I don’t know why I’m whining about something I can fully control… just turn everything off and go to bed, but nooo.. that would be way too easy. And I felt like typing.

hrm. remind me not to blogpost when I’m tired. lol

I have nothing to say. I’m restless.
I need a vacation.

• Woke up.
• Did nothing until approximately 11am when I hopped in the shower.
• Got dressed.
• Looked up and printed directions.
• Drove to Half Price Books to sell some books.
• Was pleasantly surprised to find it next to a brand new JoAnn’s Superstore (instead of the rinkydink crappy JoAnn’s I have near me.)
• Sold the books.
• Got new books.
• Went to JoAnn’s.
• Found self-striping dishcloth cotton, the newest Interweave Knits magazine, and some gifties for swap pals.
• Drove to Nine Rubies (yarn store)
• Bought some Souvenir yarn and yarn for a Christmas Present
• Walked to Starbucks & ordered a Pumpkin Spice Blended Creme Frap.
• Walked back to the car and drove home.
• Hung out at home for a few hrs, knitting & watching shows on abc.com
• Got pissed off when I found out Women’s Murder Club wasn’t available to watch online.
• Went to Target to get two birthday cards, some candy, and laundry detergent.
• And tissue paper. But they were out. Of like every color except white.
• Went to the Grocery store.
• Bought dinner and dessert (Drumsticks, yum).
• Forgot the damn tissue paper.
• Came home.
• Made frozen pizza & sat down to watch tv.
• TV sucks.
• Knit & watched more shows on abc.com
• Typed up this stupid boring list because I’m bored but not tired enough to sleep yet.

I am so boring. The good news is I’m all caught up on Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, and I saw the pilot episode of Samantha Who? I’m STILL pissed off that Women’s Murder Club is not online. ESPECIALLY since the web page has a link to “Watch this online!” and links directly to their stupid player.

In other news, I found local knitters, and I’m getting together with some people on Thursday. I need to figure out how to work the vcr/dvd recorder thing.

In a Past Life…

You Were: A Mute Assassin. Where You Lived: Ukraine. How You Died: Hung for treason.

LOL. a mute assassin?

in other news, i don’t want to go to work today.
tgif!

Okay, it is sad that I don’t have more than this to post about, but it’s like 104 here today, and every chair I sit in is so annoyingly hot. Every chair in the office is a leather chair. The seats in the car are leather seats. I get in the car, and I burn my butt off. I’m cooler at work if I stand. People around here don’t believe in decent A/C.

The good news is that I don’t think it’s supposed to be this hot tomorrow. I hope not. I moved to get away from this kind of crappy weather. It wouldn’t be so bad - it’s cooler near the coast - but we’re just inland enough that it can get stifling out here! Ugh.

Overall, today has been a craptastic day, but the weather and my stupid chair is not helping.

So, I’ve been seriously neglecting the ol’ blog here. I finished Harry Potter on Monday while at work (seriously.. I’m so slow, that’s what I did for most of the day, until I finished it).

So, I like my job, and I feel bad about whining about having nothing to do… but I wish I had work-related things to do. The good news is, I’m getting a lot of reading and knitting done, and I’m going to be making a dent in my bookshelf. I’ve found that if I have a book that will stay open on its own and a fairly easy pattern, I can knit while I read - something I’ve been wanting to master for a long time. heeh

I’ll try to post more. Really. LOL

Also, please wish congratulations and best wishes and happy thoughts to my pal, MellyPie and her brand-new husband! They got married this past Monday.

Also, Happy (belated) birthday to my friend Jerry!! His bday was yesterday.

Man, I really can’t stand Pledge Weekends on PBS. I understand the need for it, but they always show “special” shows, and none of the cooking shows I enjoy watching are on.

This is a dramatic change now that I’m older. Back when I was a kid, it meant Anne of Green Gables marathons, and all kinds of cool movies and such. Now? not so much.

I don’t have much to talk about lately. I think I’m going to play hermit this weekend.

I hate Denver.

That is all.
Thank you, drive thru.

Why does the fact that it’s 80 degrees outside today mean it also needs to be 80 degrees INSIDE today?

I’m DYING in here.

ARGH.

That is all.
Thank you, drive thru.
