Short Work Week= Short Attention Span

For the record: I was motivated to do all sorts of homework for about 20 mins. I finished up work for one class... and that's it.

I am sorry Statistics, you are going to be pushed aside for yet another week.

**SIGH.**

All I can think about is moving. It is consuming EVERYTHING I do. All I want to do is move there and decorate, however, life is not that simple right now. First, I need to find someone to sublet the current apartment, god I hope someone does that soon.

Allow me to rant:
WHY do people say they are going to sublet your apartment and assure you day after day that they will do it and convince you not to show your place to anyone else because they think it is so cute, and then flake on you at the last minute?? Someone I hold very near and dear to the heart thinks it's because this woman wants him to poop on her doorstep, haha.

That makes me feel better.

(end rant.)

Anyway, this week will be nuts. I am running the Turkey Trot again this year. I love running an 8k before Thanksgiving dinner; I feel way better about eating so much that I need to be rolled to the car and after that uncomfortable ride home, ya know, just given a good kick into my front door and then I just sleep where I land. It's a beautiful thing.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday.
No presents.
It always allows you a Friday off from work.
It is an excuse for pumpkin flavored everything. (awesome.)

Some people like to get all upset and overly pc about the barbarism of the day, but really? It's not like we all sit around and be all like, hell yeah, pilgrims! Woo! People use this day to just give thanks for the good in their lives, be with their friends or families and I see nothing wrong with that... or all the pumpkin-ness.

This year I am staying in the Chi for the blessed day. I went home last weekend to celebrate and holy crap my little brother made the BEST steaks I have ever had in my life. Seriously, the man is a genius with a grill.

The day before thanksgiving, I am working a half day and then I have 2 friends coming in town, one from Ireland (see his blog here: http://ssully.blogspot.com/) and his fabulous girlfriend who lives in Wisconsin. I like this tradition we are forming. Sully, being the smart individual that he is, has decided never to miss Thanksgiving, as it adds one more holiday to his year and one really excellent meal as well. Last year they both came to Chicago for the day before and decided to do it again this year, and I am only too happy to take a half day and hang out!

So the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday... I am not a big Black Friday shopper, I am moving on Black Friday this year actually, but that's not the point of this paragraph. The point of this paragraph is that my in box has been flooded with e-mails about SALES SALES SALES! So far, my favorite has been Victoria's Secret's "What's Sexy" list because I am curious to see how well some newer products sell. For example:


I am sorry, is that... is that a pink sea urchin coming out of your butt? My friend Kelly had a sea urchin spine in her foot once and that was painful, so you should be careful.

Anywho kids. Have a good Thanksgiving!

Hiatus HI-YAH!

Hey Kids!

I just realized that I have not blogged in ages! I have excuses, whether or not they are good, valid or otherwise acceptable remains to be seen, but they DO exist (and one of them is not laziness). I really miss the ol' blog and I thought to myself, what better time to blog than when you are all crazy because of flu meds? (well, to be accurate I am taking Tylenol severe congestion rapid release strength of titans... whatever pills).

So yes, I caught the flu. NOT swine-flu... wait! Sorry lobbyists; it is H1N1 now. But, really,PUH-lease! Getting flu that is named after some animal is SO 2007 (bird-flu anyone?).
I managed to contract good old, in bed for two days, bored out of your mind influenza. All you people getting H1N1 are just trying too hard. You don't have to get the latest fashion of everything, jeez.

Anywho I am on the mend now, but still kinda all hopped up drugs. I don't like taking meds, especially antihistamines, I feel all foggy and I do stupid things. For instance, I was reading some guidelines for a project for class, which caused me to look for my class binder. I could not find my binder and I got really upset cuz that meant I probably left it at le boyfriend's house, and I need it for class tonight! ... Turns out, I was staring at it the whole time; I was reading the guidelines out of it.

I have sent out e-mails with the wrong info in them, and a myriad of other things. A person with a brain in his/her head would go home but, Like I said, mine is in a slightly slowed and foggy state today... so my decisions just don't count.

So many a thing has happened in my time on the accidental hiatus! Number one: I had my quarter life crisis! To honor this crazy event ( I still forget I am 25 now) I had a Ninjas v. Pirates birthday party. Which was pretty friggin excellent if I do say so myself!


Then came Halloween! The crew went as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was very proud of the overall turn out...Master Splinter did not make the picture because his "drunk off the ooze" rat ass went to the second party first, and you know everyone says they will make it to the second one, but there are always the casualties! So when we got there, I believe we were down a couple of turtles and so no full picture was taken, but just imagine...
My brain functioning as it is right now, that's all the update you need... my costumage. ALTHOUGH I was very proud of the Captian Von Douche costume Paul had and my Chastity Cockblock one from the Friday before Halloween, but I am not posting those pictures, bc you don't want to see them. You don't. Just move on.

... But can we go back to this whole FLU thing?? It is ruining my week. As anyone probably knows tonight at midnight thousands of screaming girls ages 7 - 107 will be freaking out and rushing movies theatres to see New Moon. I was SUPPOSED to be one of those girls elbowing, pulling hair, kicking people in the back of the knees, and calling each other really mean catty names, all to vie for the best seats. But since I am having a hard time staying awake right now, I doubt I will be awake at midnight and in fighting form. (And it is just too bad, I am itchin for a fight!) So I am having to forfeit my ticket AND a date with Davonna no less, to crawl into bed and wait 'til I come back from Omaha on Monday to see New Moon. SIGH. JUST heavy friggin' SIGH. I was also supposed to see a concert with zee boyfriend, but clearly that's not happening either. WTF flu? Anywho here is a dreamy R Patz photo to make it all better:
