Happy Hump..Thursday?

Hello. Today feels like Wednesday. But it's not.

My cut looks like a mole today. I'm working it. Just FYI.

Did I tell you I got a bonus at work? For doing WELL?! b/c I kick butt?! It's actually an "award" and it's kinda a big deal...like me.

Anyway, it made me feel good. Very good considering how busy I've been lately. :)

I'm still oddly unmotivated this week. It's bad. I blame Gossip Girl for starting out my week so dramatically... ;)

This is TMI, but do you know every single store in this damn town is sold out of seamless nude underwear? Oh, they are. I'm very picky-granted-but seriously.. how hard is it to find a nude thong the day before you have to wear a white dress?! UGH! I think I'll go to Saks for some Hanky Panky panties. Ever had em? They're the most comfy and seamless things ever. They're kinda pricey, but they last. We'll see....

Anyway, at the mall at lunch, this is what I saw...and had to take a pic. When did kiddie leashes come back? Sick. Get rid of it!They tried to make it cuter with a backpack. It's not cute. It's weird. There are two of you...TWO...can you not keep an eye on a three year old between BOTH of you? Wow. You obviously took the time to pick out a stunning green jumpsuit...Anyway...whatever.

And finally..there are people with clipboards walking around outside my window. I think this whole "job" thing is really just a hoax. I'm being observed like I'm a monkey in a cage. Yup. Maybe. Speaking of wild animals...what it one gets out at the zoo tomorrow night? What.if. I mean.. could you imagine? (Note to self...remember where car is parked and look for places to hide from wild animals..)

"I think I'm free next Tuesday"

- That's for you, Kelli.

Anyway...today... is getting better and better! I will fill you in on the details later but it has to do with White Party! HOORAY! :)

Gustav seems to be chapping my ass a little less today. That sounds bad. Whatever.

I want there to be a hurricane Jax. Officially.

I somehow scratched my face or stabbed it with a fork accidentally (dont ask). I have a little mark above my upper lip that looks very Cindy Crawford. I think I shall embrace said mark. It worked for Cindy. Whatever. It's kinda hot. Kinda.

So, everyone say a prayer that it doesnt rain and I dont have a wardrobe malfunction at white party. b/c hello.. WHITE. tight dress. Yeah. Exactly.

I've been fighting the strange desire to put my hair in pigtails every morning. I dont know what this means. Psychoanalyze me.

I've been going from overly reflective weirdass to overly critical bitch to completely distrustful of all human beings...to overly ecstatic about life. My life is a hurricane right now. hahaha! And dont call me bipolar b/c all of those swings happen in the course of a day. I find that when I'm in a cranky/weird mood, I say things to see how people will react. I dont want to argue necessarily, but just to kinda shock someone. It's very odd. It's like my filter is completely off.

Michele's daughter made me a picture for my office of a caterpillar. It's hanging up and I love it.

That's all I've got for you today. :)

I dont feel like posting pictures. So I wont. :) I'll do it later.

So, I have a new favorite show.. Million Dollar Listing. Alright...not a FAV, but it's up there. And it's addictive people. Bravo. Go. Now. It's about a bunch of young guys in real estate in CA and they're all total Dbags...

So, this weekend is White Party. I have decided I am accessory retarded. Yes, yes I am. I've purchased a TON of them and dont like any.. Well, Michele helped me today and I love the earrings and bracelet we picked out, but the necklace might kinda be like "hello, here is my cleavage!" So, we'll see... And if I'm wearing gold earrings, I want gold shoes. Must find now.

Just re-read my post...I dont want to come across insensitive. I DONT want a storm to hit the coast. AT. ALL. So dont anyone go all up in arms on me.

Live from Hot Springs

Hello people. I am in Hot Springs.. or as some call it..hell.

Kidding. But..well..I guess they DO have a chick fil a...so alright. Whatever. But bath houses? Sick. SICK. I dont even like to take candy from a candy dish b/c there are germs. (There really are, people)

Anyway... meeting is going well. But, Gustav is kinda effing things up. I might have to do some serious work this weekend b/c Louisiana is in my area. We even cancelled our meeting (like the one I'm at) in Louisiana b/c the people there were getting so many calls from clients, etc, about what to do.

And tomorrow is the anniversary of Katrina.

So, my job is a bit in freak out zone. Just sayin. If it hits, I might not be going out of town next week for my dept meeting b/c taking our whole team out would be bad during a big storm. I dont want it to hit...but I could really use the time at home...*sigh*

Did you hear? JANET JACKSON IS COMING to the BoK Center! People, this is awesome! Let's go! I'm going! Let's go! Tix go on sale Sept 8th! :))

I also think I might do the Tulsa Run this year...5K if you interested in joining. :)

Well, tonight I have another luau and then the big meeting tomorrow morning and I'm working from my hotel room to prepare for Gustav, etc right now. I drive back after my meeting tomorrow...5 hours.. BLAH.

I'm super excited to see everyone this weekend! Hopefully Gustav doesnt hit when I'm supposed to be visiting with all of you or else I'll be at work. BOO. I realize my whiney complaint means nothing compared to being in the PATH of the storm, but I wanted to complain anyway.

Well, that's the only excitment I've got for ya. Are your allergies getting bad? Mine are practically attacking my immune system. Fucking ragweed. That's all I'm sayin.

Hi, I'm Gracie....

...and I dont feel good...
She's actually doing MUCH better, but Sunday was a rough day for little G money. Please note the most awkward sleeping position ever-both legs to one side. Rear legs to the other... She looked dead.

And..note the new curtains. Cute, right?!

First Day of (Law) School

So, it just dawned on me that I think today is the first day of law school! (I dont feel like working)

If I'd only known at the start of law school that....

* The Socratic method is actually fun. Seriously. I mean..it's kinda twisted to watch your friends get thrown under the bus one by one..but hey..when YOU finally know the answer, it.feels.damn.good.

* The Professor everyone told me I'd be terrified of...was my absolute favorite professor I've ever had (aside from my crush on a college professor. Disturbing. Very.Disturbing).

* Dont try to re-invent yourself b/c you're going to be a lawyer. Be you. Just be you as a lawyer. :)

* Worst thing ever: "Alright, Miss Smith, since you dont know the answer, please choose one of your classmates to answer it." Or "Since you dont know the answer, I will now move to your neighbor. Please choose whether I move to your right or left..."

* ...I would likely witness... literally witness...about 10 affairs in the making..in the way of instant messenger in front of me in class. Strange, but entertaining.

* Law school would both make me more jaded and cynical...and also make me a better person by seeing what I DO NOT want to become...and why I like who I am. (deep thoughts.. sorry)

* Some stupid jackass really will tear the page out of a book that you need for your assignment...just so others cant have it.

* You will learn to perfect the "Im paying attention" look while on facebook, myspace, or really anything else online... all the while nodding along with the professor and acting like you're taking notes.

* Get used to your last name. Get used to calling others by theirs...but only b/c you dont know their first name. Everything is Mr. or Ms. Exciting for a week. Lame after that.

* When the seating chart goes around, write your name somewhat illegibly.. but definitely NOT big and bold. Professor will use it to call on the class and if he/she cant read your name easily, you have less shot of getting caught not having done the reading.

* Finals really do suck. College cramming cant happen anymore. Cramming= 4 days of straight studying instead of sitting up late night at the sorority house quizzing each other and eating pizza rolls. ;)

Now I need to work... I'm not even entertaining today. Hell. Sorry!

Lil G dog doin better

This is my fav picture of her...and yeah..she did that to herself with the toilet paper roll.. So.hilarious.

Anyway, a few stitches, hours and a few hundred dollars later (yeeouch), Gracie's okay. They had to keep her for awhile to sedate her and remove not only one visible infection along her booty but another internal one that was larger, but hadnt made itself visible yet. I guess it's really common in small dogs. Now I know what to look for..but I felt SO BADLY that I hadnt noticed. Granted, my dog is pretty chill and doesnt complain a ton about anything...*sigh*

Anyway, just glad my baby is alright. Last night, I had to carry her down to potty and put her in the grass then pick her up and take her back upstairs. :( Poor thing. This morning started THREE drugs for the next 14 days. Wow, right? One of them is an antibiotic creme. So...for any of you who wondered about my mothering skills, please insert image of me rubbing the creme on my dog's booty incisions...and not batting an eye. I love her more than I thought possible. Just glad she's okay.... :)

FRIDAYFRIDAYFRIDAY!

Remember how "If I were a day of the week, I'd be Friday.." Yeah. Well, I would.

So, this week has been less than perfect, but whatever. Little G is sick.
Conversation with vet this am:

Me: "Hi. My dog has a raised bump thing and there's some blood..and it hurts her but is otherwise acting alright..." (sparing you the other details)
Her: "Her..okay...what about Tuesday at 10am?"
Me: *shocked* "Um..my dog has BLOOD and a small tumor like thing. Tuesday?"
Her: "Yes ma'am..."
Me: "Well. That's unacceptable. Put me down, but I will likely be calling to cancel."

Called Woodland West (b/c I have her records at both places for situations like this. My children will have like 6 docs..just sayin)
Me: *explained sitch*
Her: "Okay, how about in the next hour or so?"
Me: "Wow! The other place told me next TUESDAY."
Her: "Whoa! I have an HMO and I can get in before that! haha!"
Me: "How about after work?"
Her: "Perfect.. See you around 6"

Good Gosh.

And the chin is looking less creepy! It kinda looks like I thought it was a good idea to run my chin along the cement until it scraped up quite nicely in a dime sized scrape. Eh. Whatever.

Pray for little Gracie.

Love love.

If I was going to get a tattoo..

It would be a J. in the same place her L is...actually that WAS a J that she turned into an L.. (for Jason) Anyway..thoughts... ??

*EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee!* (Happy Squeal)

This week is looking up....becaaaaaaausee....

JASON IS THE NEW BACHELOR!!! I think I should try out...Just sayin. I mean...he has a three year old...whatever. I love kids! *shrugs* And AND AND...he's just hot...and sweet...and I would like to practice making more babies with him. A lot. TMI? What.Ever.

Love. The shirt version.

First things first, how cute is this shirt I got today? HOW EFFING CUTE?! I'm a sucker for vintage looking t's...and I realize I'm too old to wear ones with the sayings I find hilarious (and we're not talking "hottie" or something simple...I prefer cheesy political ones, etc). Anyway, love it.

So, I took this from Sarah's blog...b/c it's awesome. Does this mean I need to go back to high school (since this is an activity she did with her students?) Hm...Whatever.. I'm distracted tonight and need a project..

If I were an animal, I would be a cheetah...or maybe my dog, Gracie.

If I were a movie, I would be You've Got Mail.

If I were a food, I would be sushi or just an ITR salad.

If I were a tv character, I would be Serena on Gossip Girl. Or Blair. Hmm. Toss up. Or Samantha from Samantha Who.

If I were a piece of clothing, I would be a vneck slightly baggy baby tee....or an oversized winter sweater. (those are my fav)

If I were a day of the week, I would be Friday.

If I were a holiday, I would be Independence Day..or St. Patrick's Day. Definitely NOT Valentines Day.

If I were a piece of furniture, I would be a perfectly worn comfy brown leather chair. (with cute toss pillow)

If I were a color, I would be blue. Or black. Black is classic. Let's go with that. But, it's not really a color. Hmm..

If I were a US city, I would be Chicago. Definitely Chicago. Maybe warmer. With an ocean. Maybe a San Diego/Chicago mix. Done.

And go.
