it really depends on the day

i know some people are always "positive".

i am generally "negative".
but for some reason today i am half glass full.
1) i barely slept 2) my cat is having surgery today (the second one she's had of this kind) 3) i have (literally) 13 BIG orders to fill by Friday. 4) my husband is out of town. 5) i'm going with my mom for her chemo treatment today.

normally on a day like this - i would wake up with an eye roll and probably a few tears.

but LOUD disco music at 745 am really changes an outlook on things.

1) i got no sleep cause i was watching a really good movie 2) after surgery my cat won't be urinating pure blood and she will be out of pain! 3) hopefully the money i make from 13 big orders can help pay for cat surgery 4) that one still sucks cause i miss him. 5) chemo is a good thing! she's getting better!


See? Disco at 730 am never hurt anyone!

seriously.

i said this last night.

give me a fucking break.

5 reasons the swine flu story is DUMB.



(not dumb if you live in Mexico City, but dumb if you live ANYWHERE ELSE)

is anyone not a complete idiot

and people ask me why i think everyone is retarded.

im honestly about to murder someone

there is heavy heavy construction right outside my door. literally. outside.
there has been for over a year.

first i had to get used to the drilling at 8am. then it was the pounding steel. then it was the (literally) 40 story crane that was living 25 feet from my front door, hovering over my 4 story building, permeating my nightmares. Now that I am used to ALLLL those things, the worst has arrived.

what i am NOT capable of getting used to is the "Ooweh! Ooweh" disco sounds the construction workers scream all day every day, in addition to the 200 other annoying things they scream all the time. But that is, single handedly the most obnoxious and annoying sound effect in human history. I can hear them when I am IN the shower, water pouring in my ears, I can hear them all the way down the block. I have complained to 311 several times. I've called the construction company. The development company. No one on the building site will even talk to me much less listen to my complaints. I am seriously going slowly insane.

see how close construction is below. these picture were taken from my living room window.

hermit

i have been le hermit.

well, kind of. a computer hermit.

i've ACTUALLY been out of my house - for some wonderful things, some not so wonderful things!

bridal showers, bat mitzvahs and emergency rooms!
yayyyyyy

teabaggers

i hope you paid your taxes!

31

i have 31 dishcloths.
none of which have any meaning to me.
what is wrong with a person who has 31 dishcloths.
please do not get me started on drinking glasses or flatware.

i hate throwing things away (well, i actually love it), but mother of lawd its ridiculous.

so jamie and i did something that was so satisfying, only a man and a woman can accomplish this pleasure together:

we cleaned out our kitchen.

it was freakin awesome.

shoptop

topshop opens today and while i wish i could demand the closing of the store just for me, you could not pay me a billion dollars to get anywhere NEAR that place today.

no wa-hay.

this is by far

the MOST fucked up thing i've ever seen.

on an episode of this american life from a few weeks ago, which can be found here, the discuss teachers in the ny public school system who don't get fired but get sent to a "rubber room" - where they sit and wait for YEARS. a ROOM. like detention. for YEARS.

click here to read a ny times article that was written a few years ago.

you may have heard about this already but its still SO fucked!

holy molar!

i have a cavity!

dangit!
