oy! librarian in crisis!

I am a children’s librarian in the midst of SUMMER READING! Which means, oh, my god, I am losing my mind. I am swarmed by children most of the day, signing them up for the program, explaining how the program works, etc and so forth.
I do have several tales to tell, though: Sideburns and his [...]

priorities

My apartment has been filthy for weeks. I am cleaning today, because tonight I will be having a guest over. A sexy guest. I really need to find some motivation so that I don’t only clean my apartment when there is a chance of me getting some. Or I need to get some more often.

wha?

I absolutely can NOT focus today. Work? Wha? Stuff? I feel foggy and sleepy, like I have hayfever or a cold coming on.  I can’t wait to go home and watch Battlestar and then go to sleep. I have a lot to do this weekend–laundry, a date with the Prof, and putting my new apartment [...]

rainy day list of randomosity

I have been dropping things lately. I wonder if I have some sort of brain/nerve issue.
I have dreamed about cheese two nights in a row. I plan on buying some cheese tomorrow after my paycheck is deposited.
The Professor signed an email “xoxo.” I think that is just about the cutest thing I’ve seen [...]

go west, young woman

I have a new apartment. I still have to sign the lease, but I applied and put down first month’s rent and was approved. I’ll probably be moving close to the 15th. I’m very excited. It’s a 2 bedroom with heat included for $80 less than I am paying now for my one bed. My [...]

holding on

I am off work today since I work on Saturday and Sunday, and I am enjoying a Battlestar marathon while I clean my apartment. My apartment is a pit. I will have to wash around three sinkfuls of dishes. I may sort laundry, but it will certainly not get washed today, unless I do just [...]

burn, shred, and other bad-ass phrases

I just did the first level of Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred and it did what it promised– it kicked my fat ass. Which is good, since while I do not mind my fat ass, as of late it is a little fatter than I would like. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy being sweaty [...]

the hate list

so very unholiday of me, but here is some shit I’m hating on right now:

The centro Claus ads.
The traffic reporter on public radio calling the travel conditions “a miserable mess” EVERY. SINGLE. TIME she gave an update. Yes, we get it, the snow is making travel shitty. Find a new adjective.
my landlord
The Whopper virgin ad [...]

I need my nose smacked with a newspaper

Oy. This is my third day home from work. I felt pretty good yesterday, after my kajillion hours of sleep, but then I woke up this morning with a sore throat and intense cigarette and whisky voice. So I said fuck it and took a third sick day.
I can hear someone across the hall doing [...]

time line

11:30 p.m. Tuesday night, in bed.
awake at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, long enough to say goodbye and good day to Seth and call in sick to work; then back to bed
awake at 4:00 p.m., long enough to eat lucky charms and watch 1/3 of an episode of what not to wear; back to bed
awake briefly [...]
