list

in the spirit of being positive, i bring you this list...

things that annoyed me today:

- the bus tailgating my little bike most of my ride and deciding to pass me in the dirtiest section of roadway sending dust and rocks flying toward my face.

- trying to find images from an indesign file that wasnt ever packaged. srsly people, its an amazing feature. use it.

- iphone insisting on capitalizing each word after a period. im a lower case gal. learn that, ai.

- iphone reorganizing my apps when i update them.

- not having more than a handful of restaurants to choose from at lunch.

- last minute design requests from the east coast, which make them even more last minute. "hey, its 1. we need it by 2."

- my foot itching with little to no relief from lotion.

- choking on lettuce.

leper foot

its late. im tired. i dog sat all weekend. it was fun, but the dog was sad and whined. all night. clearly i need more time. thank god for roommates though. especially roommates who love dogs.

my foot itches. the skin is peeling off and i think i was bitten. that or im allergic to the ink. it feels incomplete. i have to go thru it again. touch ups and additions. i wish it was finished now.

i shopped this weekend. i am now the proud owner of some soooooper sexy heels. watch out singlehood. i would definitely do me in these shoes. seriously. sexy. i also bought outdoor chairs. one step at a time to resettling in a house ive lived in for years. they are also sexy.

i dropped my iphone again today. *panic* but all is well. i need a cover for my screen.

i need to do laundry. but our dryer caught on fire last week. im holding off until someone comes to look at it. or at least until i have a fire extinguisher. our washing machine knob broke. our toilet is on the fritz. its a mess here. but at least its clean. see how i did that? the whole plaly on words thing?

ok, off to bed. its gonna be a crazy week.

pearls of wisdom

maybe life is just all about knowing the difference between shit and fertilizer.

happy 4th?

it seems apropos that this im feeling alone this independence day.

sitting here, slightly disappointed in the "party" we threw. the last few years have been good turnouts lasting well into the night- well past when i wanted people to leave.

this year was a little dry. there was a "party custody" decision and fewer appearances of confirmed guests. the roommate got really drunk, possibly offended, and is now passed out. and im sitting here wishing i was wasted but knowing my drinking is done for the night with nothing more than an evening headache to show for it.

i dunno. maybe im feeling sorry for myself. it definitely feels like a different 4th. and thats tough to stomach. guess it comes with the territory... fireworks just always feel so festive and hopeful to me.. or at least they normally do. tonight they just seemed like something that happened........

at any rate- happy 4th. heres to a better next year.
