why the administrative team hates me, volume one:
1. the DSL guy showed up to pick up some packages today. my fav admin asked me to sign a letter real quick to throw into one of the packages. i signed it and threw it in. but then i couldn't figure out, for the life of me, how to shut the package. the DSL guyed laughed loudly while my fav admin shooked her head at me and grabbed it out of my hand.
2. the phone was ringing and all three of the admin staff were already on lines. i was walking by. they motioned for me to grab the line. i picked it up and pushed about seven different numbers because i had no idea what to do. needles to say, i hung up on the person. ass.

the good:
1. i feel like i'm walking around in a daze today.
2. i have teared up on multiple occassion for no "real" reason why. i feel like today is the first day of a new life.
3. perhaps it's time to stop the complaceny and go back to my dreams and items that need accomplishing.
4. we opened multiple bottles of champy last night as the states were called. we screamed. we cried. we yelled. we cheered. we woke up the baby. it was an amazing night.
the bad:
1. these props that are passing are flooring me and almost pulling me out of my amazing daze.
2. and, alas, i just had a conversation with the amazing coworker who told me she saw "black people on TV talking about no more 'whoa is me attitudes' because this proves that they can do anything" and "isn't it great that we have no more excuses in this country?" what...the...fuck.

Banana: "commher duckies. commher little duckies. come eat the bread duckies. you can eat the bread.......but don't eat my bagina!"

pretty sure that i'm going to be in Texas for the rest of my life. Hurricane Ike did a doozy. i flew here Monday morning and have billed 52.5 hours already in just three days. yeah, that's 17.5 hours per day. DAMN. not only that...i had to cut my work day short today to go apartment hunt. i found me a nice little two bedroom in Houston, furnished, with a month to month lease. anyone want to visit Texas? it's weird here, i promise.

| i get to see bendelacreme this weekend!!! well, he is coming to be with his family but we're his family too, right? have i ever told you how amazing/strange it is that ohsoreluctant , hipboneweasel , bendelacreme , and Pan all stem from a tiny little circle of where i currently live? odd.
going to something called "Big Gay Brunch" on Sunday at a place called Tofu a Go-go! Freaking hippies - i love it. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | that hurricane is nuts. looks like i may be heading to Texas from Chicago afterall. i've actually never been to Texas. not that i want this to be the way that i finally end up going. | | comments: Leave a comment |

oh Chicago, how i miss you. this might be sentimental but i am currently bleeding a river, so it's not my fault...
- why do i bleed everytime i am here? insert something poetic about my heart and love.
- cocolola looks freaking incredible. it gave me nothing but birthing pains. i am tearing up right now about how beautiful it all is.
- i stayed at a hotel in Boystown last night. i spent all night listening to the Red Line and watching people wait on the platform from my dark room.
- I MISS FASHION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have been here for less than a day and have seen so much more interesting combinations than i have seen in my entire two years of country living.
- wishing Pan was with me.
- seeing everyone is like nothing ever changed (i mean, besides the hue of Miller's spray tan). for split seconds over drinks it feels as though i never left.
- had a bottle of champagne with multiple toasts to reaganomix 's birthday last night. had ratatouille for the first time and want nothing but that for the rest of my life. then had another bottle of champagne for cocolola and mintwaster 's birthday with some mint stuffed dates that i am peeing over as i type this.
- currently sitting belly up to the bar at the Edgewater Grill drinking a Hennepin and "wokring from home." can't freaking beat it.
- why did we move? oh right, we're country folk.
- nothing is ever the same without you ohsoreluctant, hipboneweasel, bendelacreme, and jennagodis. i mean that. esoterica loves esoterica.
- lucyberliner14...put on your cocktail dress. i'm taking you out tonight!
oh...and...ps: famousmiller - i couldn't possibly be more happy for you with your new gig. i have been thinking about it all night and day and i am so so so so soooooooo happy for you. you so totally deserve this.

baby_boy_ is all dapper and shaven and dressed in his finest. he is in with my boss right this minute having an interview to be a Field Technician. he has been in there for 45 minutes - not a bad sign. cross your fingers and send out good love thoughts. i might have a traveling partner afterall.
this weekend: BRIMFIELD!!!!!!!!!!!! i am pretty much peeing myself. Brimfield happens three times a year and it is my dream come true. it really doesn't get much better than this. also, there is a craft fair all weekend long in weekend called Twist. can't wait can't wait can't wait.
mattress: got our mattress yesterday. i slept like heaven all night. this is the first new bed i have ever owned. i have hand-me-downs all my life. first my sister's old mattresses as she grew out of them. then my sorority sisters that were middle class and gave me their leftovers when they got their upgrades every few years. then Pan's that she was birthed in. i feel like heaven having my first bed. and...it has that non-allergetic factor that keeps the dust mites out. i am in heaven.

| hold up, i have another one for you...
The Banana has been a trooper with potty training. last night she peed on the potty like a big girl. Mama ran to grab her some candy (her good job treat). she came back with the candy and The Banana was yelling, "wait - i have poop too, i have poop too, i have poop too." Mama grabbed her and ran to the bathroom so they could poop on the potty. The Banana then handed a handful of turd to Mama. niiiiiice. this kid has class. | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| did some shopping yesterday at Target. got these fabulous patent leather pumps that are kinda really hot. retro hot. and by pumps, i mean three inch heels. anyhow, i am wearing them today with my new grey wool dress. this is how this morning went down...
me: do you like my new shoes?
The Banana: uh....no....they trashy. yeah. those shoes trashy. trashy trashy trashy. | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| baby_boy_ can sleep for 23 hours in a 24 hour period - it's truly amazing. perhaps we should try the book of world records?
...yesterday over a beer at the Dirty Truth (after cocktails at Packards), him and i came up with a new business plan for Noho. the one annoyance of this town that keeps ringing true for me is the lack of brunch choices that are the kind of brunch choices we like. so, we're going to open a brunch only establishment. it will be called...wait for it...hold your breathe...BRUNCH. business hours from 10am-3pm. it's going to be cute and kitschy. warm and loud. bright and annoying. oh, and queer queer queer. ohsoreluctantwill sling behind the bar. hipboneweasel, Erin, and The Banana will serve the tables. i will hostess with the mostess. jennagodisand Pan will walk from table to table and process the food choices with the clientele. baby_boy_will bus the tables. famousmillerwill perform as Lez-bo-bo whenever she wakes up and finds her way in. cocololawill birth in the front window. and lucyberliner14, reaganomix, and mintwasterwill serve up tots from the back (in glasses)...with white tanks with the lettering "this old thing?" stenciled across the front. niiiiiiice.
fin.
