ok so i've changed my mind. he's just not that into is a hilariously awesome book. i love it. i think i should read it once a week for the rest of my life. it will serve as a reminder that men are assholes. wait, that's not true, but there ARE a lot of jerks out there. now that i've broken past the part that hit a nerve with me, i really do think its a good book. its clever and truthful. i really wish i'd read it years ago, but at the time it would have been too painful to realize "he just wasn't THAT into me". i read it as i walked to a&p tonight to buy some english muffins and so many times i found myself laughing out loud or gasping then giggling at his bluntness. if nothing else, he has hammered into my head that i'm fabulous. a somebody. a siren. i will be pursued at the right time by the right person and there's not a single thing i need to do make that happen. same goes for you girlfriend! you've gots to read this book...
when melissa was over yesterday i was telling her how much i enjoyed getting up during my two sick days and taking my time, having breakfast, drinking tea, sitting at my table. she, in turn, sang the praises of early mornings and encouraged me to get up earlier. so today, when my alarm clock went off, i got up. at 6:05. while still in my daze, i went around the house opening the curtains. i put my english muffin in the toaster. i made my bed. then once i was semi-wake i had my breakfast (which was a nice change from my usual eating-it-in-the-car-as-i-drive routine). i had a great time. i'd like to do that more often. from now on actually. i had so much time to spare that running around my house trying to find my missing shirt did NOT make me late! i got to work 10 minutes early. wow. amazing. this is a new day people, a new morning.
today i was listening to melinda's show on cfrc and heard the familar sound of a woman singing. i knew the song well. then it struck me. IT WAS ALISON!! i'd requested that song and mindy played it!! yay! i guess they have a copy of sweet dark at the station. it was super cool. i was very excited.
i'm still sick, but better than i was and as good as it gets for the rest of allergy season. at work this morning knickers came out of her office all in a hurry, bombarding me with all these tasks and events going on. then she said "i've been so busy i haven't even had the chance to tell you that you look awful" hahahahaha. isn't that insane!!!
personally, when i'm picking friends, i like the ones who don't make me cry myself to sleep.

i am glad that you had a good morning experience!
i sat outside this morning and read for a few minutes....lovely
maybe mornings and i can be friends after-all!
something to think about. something to drink about.
p.s. male visitors: you are not a asshole if you don't jerk around your lady. just wanted to make it clear that you (bob, al, paul, jason, tim, other male visitors) are not an asshole.
are you babysitting friday night?
yay! alison i'm so glad that someone else heard it. neato!!
melinda, what kind of comment is that?? it was you who used to complain when charnish would just post a comment on your blog instead of emailling or calling you. i will answer that question with another question. what did i do last friday night?
i did call you. and i wait for your returnage of said call.
melinda i have a problem.
don't let your problems of ten years ago bother you know. fone calls can be fun and exciting and rewarding.
hmmm. this one is a mystery even to me. i feel like i'm deciphering a puzzle. what was my problem of 10 years ago?? ten years ago i was 16. therefore my problem was... da-da-da. ironically, i was thinking about that problem just this morning. today's entry title is going to be related to that problem. i'd already tucked it away in my head. there was another reason why i had decided on that entry name. a double entendre if you will
i was refering to your history of not calling people... cuz frankly i'd love a fone call from you my dearest sweety pie...
what are you talking about?? the only person i don't call back is my dad because i know he'll call again the next night like clock-work. what's the point. i'll always return YOUR calls darling...
i just checked my messages and there is nada waiting from you... and you never responded about hanging out tonight...
are you kidding me?? i emailed you and told you i wanted to hang out before, during and after your meeting. i was waiting for a response from YOU! i was thinking we could go to the screening room when you're done.
