I know some pretty amazing people, and I don’t get to spend enough time with them.
But I get really overly inwardly excited when I get to actually be around them, like how some nerdy kid feels when one of the cool kids talks to them willingly.
True story.

I know, right? I wish I weren’t so full so I could have it again, 3 more times.

I think I am the only female being who’s never seen, nor wanted to see, an episode of Sex and the City.
Facts.
I am also ready for this week to be over. Is that okay? I mean, I know it’s only Monday but…
my feet are killing me. FYI.

Feeling like a total boob. I’ve had Where the Wild Things Are at my house for weeks, and I finally open it up to watch it today, and realize I added the wrong version to my Netflix Queue. I have the half hour illustrated version of the children’s book, not the Spike Jonze version.
Idiot.

Pro-active/ductive or something.
I just made a year long to-do list for myself, which has been broken down into several different tasks to complete during certain periods of time. I’ve written down on a white board above my desk, as well as synced it with an app on my laptop [which in turn sends me frequent e-mails to remind me of them].
All of these things are tied to calendars with appropriate and realistic timelines,...

Surprise [sort of] 3 day weekend! First order of business, sit on my butt and watch TV. Check. Relish in the fact that both myself and Liz Lemon got dickies for Christmas. Double check.
Feelin’ good, livin’ the dream.

Blah blah new year blah. I’ve had an awful cold this whole week and managed to pass it off to Dave. Whoopsy. I’m currently sitting on the couch with a headache the size of my couch wishing midnight would come faster so I can go to bed.
That being said, 2011 wasn’t all that terrible for me. I hope 2012 stays on the same level or is better. No complaints, no...

Watched the sun come up this morning alone with a cup of coffee, half a pumpkin spice doughnut, and Mad Men reruns in TV. Pretty good start to Christmas morning if you ask me.

My holiday cheer is slowly draining out of my body. You can thank The US Postal Service, baking, the act of packing boxes, Josh Groban, and women who drive while putting on make-up for this sudden Scrooge syndrome.
Also, I’m going to kill my cat if she doesn’t stop eating all of Dave’s presents/the tree/the tree skirt/my ornaments.
I am so grumpy today.

The problems I run into making mixed CDs are what cause me to get distracted from remembering what I was doing to begin with.
1) I start picking all these songs first, but I pick way too many [ahem, 140] and have to narrow it down.
2) While I’m sequencing, I forget I’m trying to find the next song and instead let the whole track play because it’s such a good song and I...

Last night truths
Me: How many quarters are in basketball? Dave: 4 Me: Wrong. The answer is too many.
Because no one really watches basketball anyway.

Is anyone else out there having issues with Netflix instant stream? I haven’t been able to get mine to work in almost a week, and everytime I try to update my Microsoft Silverlight the website craps out on me and won’t even begin downloading. Feeling like an idiot because I can’t figure it out..

Last night I dreamed all my teeth came loose and I had to spit them all out into a trashcan. The only four that survived were my front teeth and the wisdom teeth I still haven’t gotten removed. I woke up to find my pillow in my mouth.
