My Twenty-Something Quasi-Soap

Grey's Anatomy is quickly topping the list of best shows on TV. So is The Boondocks . Roses are awesome, especially when they're for you. I feel a cold coming on, but I'm not allowed to get sick till at least the beginning of May. I don't know what to do. Besides pray. I must go shopping this weekend. And get a manicure. I don't usually say things like that..."I must get a manicure..." But now that I'm not at the mall anymore, my nails are actually growing and they need professional help. "Next week, on a very special Desperate Housewives , it's time for a desperate intervention." If you watch Desperate Housewives , you'd get that joke. Yup, roses are awesome and so is pinot noir. God, I hope I didn't curse too much. Or looked like a total idiot. But I got roses... ...I'll keep you posted. (And once again, you're all frustrated. "Dammit, it's bad enough she barely has time to keep us all entertained on a regular...

I had a crazy thought this morning as I was getting ready for work. I realized that it will be ten years ago this August that I started high school. That is a scary thought. Meanwhile, back in the present, I have been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest with Shoestring and work. I looooove my job, and I looooove my Shoestring babies, but man! - am I one tired person! I'm busy and happy and tired. But not too tired to keep up with most of my tv shows and watch Freaks and Geeks. I heart that show. So yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I had mostly forgotten about it until a few people at work got roses and presents and stuff. I bought candy for my Shoestring kids. When I got home, there was a box sitting on the kitchen counter for me. Huh? A present for me?? My roommates, whom I love most dearly, bought me a present for Valentine's Day! I got the Desperate Housewives game and a book of Napoleon Dynamite Mad Libs. How awesome is that? So an otherwise crappy ...

Ah f^%!. Forgot to pay the gas bill! Hold on. Why do I always remember to pay my bills when I'm about to blog? Anyway... I went shopping yesterday with all of the other crazed and panicky people who hoard bottled water and canned goods before a storm. I had a list of stuff I was supposed to get, and then I went a little crazy. My thought process kinda went like this: "Ok, let's review the list before I go into the store. Salt, milk, pretzels, saltines, blah blah blah. Got it. I will stick to the list. Here we go. Oh look! Chocolate chip cookies from the bakery! These will be awesome for all of the movies we're going to watch tonight. And they're on sale! Awesome! Ok. So we're running low on bread, I'll pick up another loaf in case we want grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh! I should pick up cheese slices since we only have the cheddar bricks in the fridge. Excellent. Milk: I should get a half gallon. Hmmm...a half gallon's a lot of milk for us. Oh! I'll ...

...to go grocery shopping by myself anymore. I'll explain later. I have to go put all that stuff away now. Damn blizzard warning!

I'm getting used to having 13 hour days again. I still have to figure out the whole food thing, but I'm getting there. ::Slapping forehead:: Fuck! Forgot to pay my phone bill. Hold on... Back. My forehead still stings...that's how quickly I was able to hop over to the website and pay the bill. Two days late...grrrrr. While I'm thinking about it, I better schedule my credit card payment too. Back in a bit... And here I am again. I don't get the chance to take care of all this stuff except for late at night, when I should be in bed asleep. I'm so busy all day that it takes a good hour or two for my brain to slow down and decompress before I can go to sleep. My body has learned how to compensate. I spent the entire day in bed on Sunday. I slept in late, and just stayed in the bed all day. I wasn't overly exhausted or anything, but I didn't feel like going anywhere. I wasn't even depressed...just recharging. I even went to bed at a decent hour and felt g...
