Don't You Love It When...

  • You win four soccer games in a row? Hell yeah. Of course, we're now jinxed and won't win again until Mars is in retrograde. And you KNOW that's a long time from now.
  • You listen to music that makes you feel like you're in high school again? That's right...Justin Timberlake makes me want to put on my Catholic school uniform, ifyaknowwhatImean. Tease me, berate me, do what you must, but I do love that music.
  • You're excited and nervous at the same time? Upcoming journeys have me all a-twitter. And by "a-twitter" I mean finding it hard to concentrate and constantly thinking about it. A business event (party) invitation says the dress is "Smart Casual". What does that mean???
  • All the stoplights turn green from one destination to another? It only happens when don't have anywhere to be by a certain time, granted, but it's still nice when it happens.
  • You finally find a pair of jeans that fit the way you want them to? Can I just say that I haven't had a pair of jeans I've liked since the 1990's? How fucking sad is that? Well, no more.
  • You start your day off with good coffee? And this comes from Surfer Boy who never drank a drop of it before I converted him. But he's soooo right. Good coffee - whatever your flava - makes any day just that much better.
  • Your husband buys milk so that you can have good coffee in the morning? Gooooooood Surfer Boy.
  • You find a light beer that tastes divine? I'm not even kidding when I say that Sam Adams Light is damn good beeey-ah. Me love it long time.

the opposite of smart casual would be wearing a tiny skirt and no underwear but forgetting to close your legs when exiting the car. that would be dumb casual. still want to know where jeans from.

They're just Levi's from JC Penney's. I caved a bit and bought some that fit but are too long figuring I'll just wear my boots or maybe eventually have them tailored.

smart casual...well, yeah, that works. maybe jeans, but nice jeans, not weekend yard work jeans, or maybe no jeans at all...who the hell knows. when in doubt, err on the side of too dressy rather than too casual, i say.
you know, i have no idea what ever happened to my school skirt. i don't think i burned it or anything, but then again, who knows? why didn't i foresee how useful it could be in the future? not that i'd fit into it right now, but maybe after the dieting kicks in...i mean starts.

Stupid Saturn Rising

My horoscope today said that "my insecurity has taken on a life of its own". That's comforting. Now I remember why I quit reading horoscopes. Although, I thought I was just making the title up with this reference to Saturn rising, but as it turns out, my astrological chart really does say that Saturn is my ascendant planet right now. I'm super fucking in tune with my planets, so just keep that in mind. It's my secret weapon. In other news, have you ever had that problem where you have absolutely so much going on and so much to do, that you find yourself unable to start and complete one simple task? Take for instance, a blog post. I must have started writing on four separate posts in the last week, yet you can easily see nothing new posted in that time frame. I'm guilting on the fact that I haven't posted in so long. Generally, I wouldn't care so much - at least not enough to feel guilty about it - but the wicked knowledge that there are a few hardy sou

High Tide

On the Piney! About three days after we were there last, the banks could no longer contain the flood water and the river rose to about 10 feet from where our tent stood just a few days previously. I don't *think* The Lodge took on any water, but it would have been a really close call, and for those of you that don't know, The Lodge is easily a 150-ft. walk from the normal river bank. Photographic evidence: And I'm going to try this new-fangled video thing...we'll see if it works for anyone (8 Mb for a shorty):

I'm the Lyrical Jesse James

...which means I steal lyrics, right? I heard that line in a 90's song (coincidentally, the one that I thought said "It's gettin, it's gettin, it's gettin kinda hectic" but I only now realize they're saying HEAVY, not hectic) and I can't figure out why you'd want to promote yourself as a lyrical thief. In other news, I've completely failed at maintaining the calm demeanor I worked so hard at cultivating during my voluntary solitude of just two short weeks ago. It promptly vanished like a fart in the wind upon my arrival at the office. I wonder if the Europeans have this problem after having been holidaying for two solid weeks in August. If any of you work with Europeans, you know that several companies pretty much clock out for the entire month - good luck getting an email reply or a returned phone call. Some get an entire MONTH off. Can you imagine? What does their inbox look like when they get back? I dread the thought considering I&
