a letter to my bad day

dear bad day,

it was a valient effort you made in trying to make my day horrid. first with the drivers who couldn't decide on what speed they wanted to go, then with the spilled chai while putting my cinnamon in it, and finaly my entire venti chai latte spilling all over the rest of me just before i walked into work. but thanks to friends like princess mikkimoto and susan mercedes, and then all the yummy food at work's breakfast potluck (yes, my quiche was a hit -- they ate it all!) i'm finding it hard to care about you anymore. i know you'll understand. we just can't be together today. in the effort to leave you with a positive comment, please try again another time. things like being on time for work make your job just too difficult. i'm sorry. can we still be friends?

cordially,

zeghsy

p.s. on second thought, i'd rather not be friends with you. don't take it personally. it's not you, it's me.

p.p.s. wait, it IS you. you understand. please do not contact me again.

because they're always 100% correct

i took a facebook quiz to find out what i should be for halloween. a princess. hmm...

so i went shopping to find a princess dress. the first one didn't fit. it really would have been perfect. instead i found a black one and a red one. both full length. both strapless. both fit pretty dang perfect. both $10 each. thank you goodwill! i called cb for assistance in choosing one, he preferred the red one, but was really no help. so i got both. they need to be cleaned. whoever wore them last used A LOT of deodorant. i mean A LOT. i don't have any parties lined up, but i like dressing up. and maybe cb will be smart and invite me to one. otherwise i have two new dresses i can use for ballroom events.

i'm hoping for a date with cb tomorrow night. i hope.

last night L-word guy tried chatting. i'm cleaning this weekend. my house this time. i don't think he liked that. then later, he sends me texts saying he's near my neck of the woods. which caused me to start thinking awful things, like him stopping by my house (for the record: he does not know where i live, just the name of the town). that made my brain kick into overdrive and this cascade of crap started coming out of it. well i nipped that in the bud. no way was i going to get mad at him for something my whacked out brain came up with. sleeping pill: 1. crazy thoughts: 0. now i just feel thick today. not hungover, with the bad gross-ness feeling. thick.

according to silver b, cb and i just need to "get it on" and i'll calm down. hello?! don't you think that's what i want to happen!?! any day now please.

OW!

what the?!? no thank you. that just makes my uterus hurt more than it already does. sheesh...

and just a show of hands... how many of you have had to make that frantic (and embarrassing) trip to the store quick for a change of panties? i just did that today. ugh. so not cool.

*sorry guys.

*squee!*

a box came for me today.


guess where it was from.

guess what was in it.


needless to say, i'm ecstatic. they took so long, and now they're finally here. i love them.

(yes, i'm sleeping with them tonight. just like the kids do.)

ma shoes!

they're coming. FINALLY! i was lucky enough to win a $100 gift certificate to dancesavvy.com this spring. it took me close to two weeks to decide what i wanted. i hadn't really thought i was in the market for shoes at the time. ballroom shoes being rather expensive, i've been trying to actually wear mine out first.

these shoes? these shoes are a special yummy summer treat. hopefully in time for showcase!
i figured that at some point, i would own red dance shoes. the free-ness of them just made it happen that much faster.

these babies however, i know i would have never bought them on my own. these are my super awesome special yummy FREE shoes. these are what make me want to sing maestro c. from dancesavvy's praise.

i can't wait for them to arrive. believe me, you'll know when they do. there will be photos!

holy $#@%!!!

over $500 for a new alternator and battery?! gah! car shopping here i come. yuck.

but i don't want to go shopping...

on the way home tonight, the car died. it's time to give serious thought to getting a new one. *sigh* i don't want to shop for a new car. more, i don't want to have to shop for a car loan. i was happy not having a payment. sure, kitty is in really decent condition considering she's older than s and i've put an amazing amount of miles on her. but i want to be able to get in the car the first time i go to unlock the door. not the fifteenth, after arguing with it.

if money wasn't an issue, i'd go for something snazzy. but it is. so... think practical. i like dad's mini. a lot. and i've been driving it a lot more lately (shakes fist at kitty). the only problem, even a used mini is still a bit out of my price range. i think.

but let us not forget the only really important thing about a car. the color. absolutely NO YELLOW. ick. orange is out too.

tomorrow i make the call about some money. bleh.
