In which I cover a few days in one entry.
Well, let’s see… what have I been doing?
Thursday night I crashed at Baby Girl’s. Her hubby was out of town, so she and I and our dogs hung out and watched chick TV and ate cookies. It was fun. Next morning we got iced mochas at BK and then I went home to bathe and get ready for work.
Work was fine, nothing exciting happened. I doubt I’ll ever get full-time or a raise offered to me there. I have to admit that I love the hours – noon to five – but I can’t even afford a storage unit let alone an apartment with that kind of income. If only I liked working it would be so much easier to be aggressive about it.
Friday, AmmZon had the house pressure-washed. It looks amazing. I thought that that was something one did only before painting, but no… the back deck looks brand-new. The whole place looks lovely. I’m amazed.
Last night I was invited to go back over for another slumber party at Baby Girl’s, but I had a sleep-a-thon instead. I had a couple of drinks after work, then came home and crashed. Woke up, went to the store, came back, ate tostadas, crashed. Got up at noon today, let the dog out, ate a handful of dried cherries, crashed until five.
Went to Walmart for underwear. Bought a couple of t-shirts and a set of tiny speakers I can use with my iPod in my room, too. Got drive-thru. Came home and ate. Thinking of going back to bed. I usually sleep 12 hours a night during The Curse, but this week I didn’t and now it’s catching up to me. Have tentative plans with BG to go out tonight, but I may be sleeping.
Tonight, AmmZon is going to a friend’s wedding in Des Moines, I think. I have no idea what Truck’s doing but I imagine he’ll find some boys to hang out with while the cat’s away.
The last two books I read were brilliant. The book I’m reading now is disappointing by contrast and I can’t get into it (even though I’m more than half finished with it and it’s actually pretty good). Sometimes I wish TV worked the same way on me it appears to on others: folks look so involved when they’re sprawled out on the couch worshiping the glass teat. I can only manage to feel that way if I’m sick. Maybe I’ll have to get industrious and clean my room or the jeep or something.

Woman, give me context. Which books? I demand to know exact titles, because I’m too daft to figure it out from your “now reading” list. Also, you’re good with CSS and stuff right? Can you drop me an e-mail? I could use some help if you have some time.
Uh, I just read this, which was good, but her characters, strange as they are, don’t seem to actually change through their journeys, and am now reading this which is good but not amazing. Yes, I’ll happily help you with your CSS! -m
Just catching up here today. Have been missing your posts! Wish I could make it to your divorce party. Sounds fun and I hope you have a blast!! Can’t wait to read about it. Hope you are doing well. XO
Hey you! *smooch* -m
hey mush… I don’t know if I’ve said this before, but I love all the linky linky on your site. I found Daily OM just now. How do you find all these great sites? I imagine it’s more than just google searching, but maybe not.
As for the work situation, I hope another job pops up somewhere or the one you are currently at decides they need you more…
I’m reading Shantaram right now, it’s based in India and it’s one of those books where you can smell and taste and hear everything as you are reading, you know? It’s awesome.
I’m a link whore, what can I say. And I’m glad people actually check them out! Most of them are for me; they’re sites I visit myself. You might like Daughter of Fire; it’s an amazing read. -m
oooh sounds interesting! I just picked up Electric Kool-aid Acid Test, so after I get through that, and Shantaram, I think this one will be next on my list. Damn I miss the days when I had hours to read…
