Lazy Me...Continued...

So I got nothing accomplished today again. Sigh. Well, I did shave my legs...that's kind of an accomplishment. Kind of.

Melissa came over to chill, and we were playing Scrabble, and I had Lupita out. So the snakey was crawling on my neck, and it tickled. Then she was crawling in my hair, and I was like, "Ok, well this is weird, but kinda cute." Then she freakin' bit my ear! I was like, "What the hell is pricking me on the ear??" And Meliss was like, "HAHAHAHA she's biting you!" It was lame. I yelled at her a little, but she didn't break the skin or even hurt me. She was just being a brat, I think. I hope this doesn't become a habit with her. It was kind of unreal. Crazy Snakey.

The good thing for today is that I discovered the "Show Tunes" channel on my digital cable. I'd say I'm totally into at least 75% of the songs they play. Woo hoo!!! Seeing as how there's nothing on (SQUIDBILLIES marathon? What??), I'm jamming to showtunes now. Well, actually, I'm going to bed now.

Bust It Is, I Guess...

The the MV plans got terminated due to circumstances beyond our control. Boo. On the plus side, that leaves me way more time to work on my thesis. yay.

MV or Bust!...

Well, Christmas is over. True, it was way different than any other Christmas that I've had, but it wasn't altogether bad. My 1/2 day of work yesterday was a nice break in all this ridiculous time off I have, and I didn't waste any of today being productive thus far (though, that's about to change). The momentum is starting to pick up. I can feel it. J. Ray Ryan (sans refectory) and I have decided, on the spur of the moment, to go on a mini-break ("a mini-break means true love!!"...I love nerds...?). We're off to the Vineyard, in hopes that they're still renting bikes this time of year. We got a killer deal on our hotel room, located right in Edgartown. (Am I going comma crazy with this post because I feel like I am?, Maybe comma/ellipsis crazy,,,?)...hahaha.

Anyways, Rox is coming over tonight for a spaghetti/American Beauty/peanut butter cookies fest, which rox. HA. Aight, I gotsta call someone re: this bike renting thing, so I'm aboutsta peace. Peace!

Christmas...

Christmas has always been my favourite holiday. I've always loved everything about it. The long break from school may have had a big part to play in my adoration of this particular season, but whatever. This year my Christmas spirit has been somewhat elusive, to say the least. I've looked high and low for it (you know, from my seat...what? I'm not gonna get UP and look for it. Geez.). Mostly, I'm just like, meh, but this has had disastrous consequences on the Christmas shopping area of my life. I really hadn't bought ANYTHING for ANYONE prior to last Saturday night, and even that was half-assed to the max. Hopefully, everything changes by tomorrow, my one and only (1/2) day of Christmas shopping left, really. It's a good thing I had all kinds of unexpected time to take off of work before the end of the year, or else ya'll would be screwed gift-wise. And by ya'll, I mean my parents, who don't read this B-Log anyways...

I had decided that I wouldn't post anything anymore unless I was in a good mood. I didn't want to burden anyone with my bleakness or negativity. BUT I AM BORED AS HELL. There are only so many yahoo games one can play in an 8 hour period, right? Tuesdays are always the worst! Booooooo...down with Tuesdays!

So since I don't have anything of import (or even not) to say, I suppose I will detail my weekly plans for anyone who has the mind to stalk me:

Tonight: Laundering...including my new flannel penguin sheets. (Note to self: call mom re: laundering; pay Melissa back for those sheets).

Tomorrow: Work at Baystate. Shopping and wrapping. (Note to self: buy dishwasher detergent and cotton balls!)

Thursday: Work at Baystate. Thesis? Hahahahaha...

Friday: Hearing aids at Mercy. Pizza w/ Emily. (Guitar hero? Holiday movie????)

And Another Thing...

I really like the beeping of the scanners in the supermarket. Like, a lot. I like the frequency of the beep as well as the unpredictable nature of all the different scanners going at once. It makes me happy. It's really too bad I never worked in a grocery store.

Also, I am one of those people that is desperately in love with the Christmas Story movie. I'll watch it over and over, as many times as TBS wants to show it to me. Take that, Meliss.

So???

I guess I'm tagged? Whatever that means...I think it means I'm supposed to think of 6 weird things about me. I'll try real hard, but I'm not that weird. By that I mean, I'm pretty tired and probably can't think of 6. I'll try:

1. I don't like to read narratives because for the next two weeks or so following the book, my brain narrates my whole life. On it's own. It cannot be controlled, even if scolded...loudly (you know, in my head).

2. I hate the taste of both coffee and liquor, but I LOVE tiramisu, in which the two main ingredients are coffee and liquor.

3. Even after almost 5 months, it still amazes me (almost daily) that I work in Massachusetts but live in Connecticut.

4. For someone who dislikes children so much, I sure spend a lot of time deciding what my future kids' names are going to be.

Well, I'll continue to think about it. Right now, I'm going to bed. Right after I play my diner game.

BODIES!!

So I went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Boston MoS. It was pretty awesome as expected. Really crowded though. And way less emphasis on the ear than I would have liked. But what can you do? Nothing, I guess.

I have to warn everyone out there about sour cream and onion bagels/pretzels/etc. I ALWAYS get screwed over by the aforementioned products. I'm always like, "Wow, I love sour cream and onions! I also love bagels/pretzels/etc. I can't wait to eat this item with sour cream and onions baked into it!" Ok, so here's the warning: sour cream and onions are NOT baked into there products. Flavouring is dusted on the top of the item, sour-cream-and-onion-potato-chips style. I mean, it's aight, but it's not as good as it could be had I invented the sour cream and onion bagel. So just...FYI.

So what else did I do today? Hm. Watched the Patriots suck at football. Paid my bills, mostly. Cleaned my apt, somewhat. Now I really I have to make my lunch for tomorrow because I really have no money to purchase lunch at work. Like, seriously though. Peace.

Oh Snow, How I Love Thee...Go Pats!!!

Yesterday at work, Dawn was looking out the window longingly and sighed, "Oh, I wanted it to snow..." And I thought to myself, "Hm, well, I know it's December and all, but it really has been too unseasonably warm to expect snow...ok Dawn..." I guess this illustrates the difference between me and someone who actually watches the news/weather reports. Although we received no precipitation yesterday, I was greeted with the prettiest wintery scene as I made my way to my car. I was thinking, "Wow, and it's not even enough snow to make me have to clean off my car or worry about driving conditions." Well, I was half right. I guess the Department of Keeping-the-Roads-Safe-So-Sarah-Doesn't-Die-on-Her-Way-to-Work was as clueless as I was re: the weather forecast. While it was true that there was not enough snow on the roads to plow, it was super slippery and desperately in need of some kind of salt/sand mixture. I saw ZERO road sander/salters throughout my whole 45 min drive to NoHo this morning. (It's a damn good thing I didn't leave at the last possible second as always because the 1/2 hr I usually give myself would not have sufficed.) I had my fair share of "Geez, these brakes are more of a hinderance than a help" and "I thought this was a gentle curve!!" moments this morning, believe me. So I somehow made it to work safely and on time, but it didn't matter because the building had no power/phones. Well, I can't do my job without power, that's for sure. (Personal day?) The four of us office personnel stood around discussing the best plan of action, and Jamie and I decided we were going to get some breakfast. We were all going to reconvene at noon to reassess the situation. My stomach was thrilled (Stomach: "Me so hungy!"). Suddenly, the emergency lights went off. Well, we all know what that means. Actually, we didn't at first, but now I know that that means the power's back. Sigh. (Personal day???) Ugh. It's not that I mind working; I really like it, in fact. However, this office is so dead, and I fear it will be even worse with the weather conditions and all. Also, I took a peek at the doctor's schedule, and it's not even full. Half-full ENT schedule - nose/throat patients = 3 audios all day (if I'm lucky). Boo. Guess I'll continue to hone my boggle/scrabble/cribbage/etc skills today.

P.S. In my blinding hunger, I frantically scoured the land (read: office) for any signs of food. In my haste, I decided on broccoli and cheese cup-a-soup. Not recommended, FYI.

Knives Don't Have Your Back...

HA

Anyways...

As you may or may not know, a few weeks ago (or whatever), Emily and I trekked ourselves down to the NYC...thigh-high, bottomless, and all. We saw the Christmas Show, which was awesome as always. I simply heart Rockettes. That's all there is to it, I guess. To get to my main point: shopping. I bought an awesome pair of boots from Sketchers and a sweater at Old Navy that I could have purchased right here in Enfield. However, the act of having an item in one's hot little hands is worth so much sometimes. Did I say that was my main point? My main, main point is that I FINALLY tried on the adorable Santa Skirt that Victoria's Secret has been pushing on me for a couple years now (they know me so well). I didn't want to buy it right then for a couple of reasons. 1) I wanted to online shop for a top that would go with it; 2) I didn't want to wait in another line for no good reason. So...the skirt came in!! Yessss....along with some other items that I plan to send back because they did not exceed my expectations, which is what they would have had to do in order for me to keep them. Ok here it is!!!! Yea!!:

Isn't it super cute?? Yeah. But I don't have a top for it, and also it totally is not suitable for public viewing without some OPAQUE tights. With tights, however, it may make a suitable Haloween costume. Whatever, I love it. I'm just going to wear it around the house by myself. Totally appropriate for vacuuming, I think.

I'm tired now, and I still have bills to pay. I "wasted" my whole day at the football game...GO PATS! HA.
