Things I'm Not. Things I Am.

Things I'm NOT...DOING:

  • Updating GirlReaction! Doh!
  • Any stage of quilting: pressing (it's way too hot to fucking iron)/cutting/piecing/basting/quilting.
  • Any knitting/creweling/stitching/sewing.
  • Taking the evergrowing pile to Goodwill
  • Ordering the new bookshelf I need (where would I put it?)
  • Buying replacement clothes. That fit the fat. Honestly, who can be bothered. Shopping sucks.
  • Getting any fucking sleep. Soooo tired.
  • Writing emails to people I miss desperately who haven't heard from me in ages. Not that I really feel THAT badly about it. I don't see them writing me emails earlier!
  • Finishing up the items on my THREE YEAR OLD to-do list. Oh my Buddha, I really crack myself up sometimes.

Things I AM doing:

  • Spending time with the nephews. Yes, that was plural. There's been an addition!

    Little M

  • Buying new (more, larger-sized) funeralwedding clothes and shoes that bring to mind a shoe-related dirty phrase oft repeated in the early '90s that is all I can think of when I try these on. Not sure I can walk but they're damn pretty.

    I won't be wearing the orthotics with these babies, will I?!?

  • Burning myself to a crisp in the Cubs' bleacher seats. (Great, that'll look just great with my new funeral attiredress.)
  • Visiting w/ cousins.
  • Meeting cousin's new boyfriend. Cute AND fun - Bonus. Even if he is a Cardinals fan. :)
  • Going to see the new Tut exhibit (Lame. Where was his sarcophagus?)
  • Going to the gym and seeing no results and crying how I keep getting fatter and fatter and uglier and uglier. Not that I expect the gym to solve the ugly problem!
  • Trying new restaurants (Soooo not related to the getting fatter and fatter problem, right? I have to eat something!)
  • Dreaming about drinking lots and lots of beer. But not drinking (very much of) it (hello so many calories).
  • Making my Lollapalooza plans for the weekend.
  • The Red Eye crossword.
  • Drinking lots and lots of water. YUCK!
  • Drinking lots of lots of combination limeade/lemonade (made with Real Lemon and Real Lime. Because that's just how white trash I am.). YUM!
  • Dreaming about being shipwrecked with Johnny Depp. Aye, aye, matey.
  • In another dream, Luke Perry bought me a present. Yes, Windfall is a badly written, predictable, emotionally overwrought show. What's it to ya?
  • Burning VBS* CDs for my mom. *Bonus points if you know what this stands for without knowing my mom's profession.
  • Talking about Kevin Smith in general and Clerks II in particular with my Dad (Jay & Silent Bob's #2 all-time fan, a close second to their #1 fan, Amy Fong).
  • Dying of stress at work. (This is one of our four "busiest" times.)
  • Dying of heat the rest of the time.

How can Big M keep getting cuter like that?? And Little M is as sweet as can be. In the shoe realm, however, those shoes are as suh-weet as can be! Wow.

Nice shoes, chica!

Posted by: Kwon at August 4, 2006 04:52 PM

Love the shoes! But I don't know the dirty phrase associated with them, and my gutter-mind wants to know.

Chin up sweetpea. I think you look great and as the husband likes to point out, I am generally right. A. x
