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.

I Know What I Want For My Birthday

I'm not a real big fan of my birthday mostly because I'm a big baby and don't want to get old. But also because it bugs me that somehow it's up to the person whose birthday it is to decide what to do to celebrate it. My position is that friends or family should take on the coordinating duties so as to relieve the celebratee of the burden of making a decision. Doesn't everyone hate making decisions as much as I do? Most years, someone will call and ask what I'm doing for my birthday and I would scramble to come up with something that sounded fun although, inevitably, I'd be in a sorry frame of mind to make such plans due to my "woe is me, I'm old" moaning. This year is different, I'm happy to report. Not only is JoySoy Habanero taking me, my Mom and Super Sue to a Cardinals game AND making sure I don't have to drive in an inebriated state Sunday night, but I also have a fantastic idea of what my family should do for me: have a pie ...

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...

Don't You Love it When...

...you get a new phone? I am bursting with pride over my new little friend. It sings to me and she retrieves my email...I love it so. The only downside is that I'm bound to become one of those people pretending to pay attention in a conversation but am actually checking my emails on my phone. But, I'm breaking it in with the firm assertion that I WON'T become one of those people addicted to their email. I'm not that important and I don't ever want to be that important. ...you have a party and the cops are called because people are having too much fun for stodgy suburbia? The third (or was it fourth) annual Jamexican party had probably it's largest turnout ever (thanks in large part to Anna and her party coordination skills) and I think everyone had a jolly good time. By the time the cops showed up to let us know there had been "several" noise complaints from neighbors (which maybe? I have a hard time believing since two of our five neighbors wer...
