Long Story Short ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New clothes I'm feeling goooood this morning. It's Friday and I am all toasty mctoasted. I had a good night last night. First I went to the mall and bought some new clothes - both for the shower on Saturday and work in general. Because of that today I'm wearing a badass purple button down shirt. And have two more in varying shades at home. I stopped and got a manicure at the mall too, something I never do. I typically go to the same lady every time at a salon but I wanted to waste time and try and beat the traffic. So I had this guy do my nails in a french. He didn't speak much (any) english but persisted in telling me an apparently hilarious story. As he was telling it he was practically rolling on the floor - I'd catch a word here and there like "wedding day" and "money". At one point he asked me a question and I only knew this because he stopped talking and was looking at me. I nodded and smiled. That must have been when he asked me how thick I wanted my white tip. Because I ended up with the thickest white band across my nail. It looks sort of ridiculous - hookerfabulous really. I just laughed about it - it'll grow on me. I got home and ordered yummy food and we drank beers and watched porn - the Masseuse with Jenna Jamison. (jameson?) It was the most bizarre porno ever as it was all talking and weirdness and very little sex. We watched the whole thing, pronounced it a dud, and then had sex. Hey, even a bad porn can get the juices flowing. It was nice sex too - I like doing it on my couch because it's low to the ground and puts me at a really good angle. Umm...what else...Oh yeah we smoked and watched Family Guy, Futurama, and more Family Guy. It was hilarious and we were both in the same place this time - perhaps due to the sex, I'm not sure. But there was none of the loss of communication from the previous evening. By the last episode of Family Guy I was sound asleep. We moved to the bedroom and slept really well. I had to say goodbye to my babies this morning, all three of them. Professor K left for work and we said we'd miss each other. Then I kissed Bailey and Hunter and headed out of there a half hour late. Why am I so terrible at getting to work on time? I am just so bad at it. I can't convince myself to get out of bed ever. So on the drive in I had a puff or two and a Sprite. Yum. I'm going to go get coffee soon and continue to admire my silly manicure. I like my new sweater and necklace for the shower tomorrow - but not the pants. I may go back later to get a new option so I feel more comfortable. I love Ann Taylor, I won't lie. There was a time when I considered it "too old". But it has great stuff! And the clothes fit me really well. It's perfect for work and casually dressy occasions like bridal showers and - last year - an afternoon wedding. I pretty much hate shopping for the most part so I'm always looking for one great store where I can get everything. It's impossible really but there are places where you can get clothes and accessories, and go somewhere else for underwear, and somewhere else for shoes. I miss Nordstrom. I used to leave really close to one in Maryland and got a lot of my stuff there. Now I don't know where one is. I need a coffee - the magic way to snap into the office. The weather today is all ugh-fabulous. It's muggy, humid, wet, gray; clingy and creepy and sweaty. But last night's thunderstorms kicked ass. Being a little stoned, a little tipsy, and a lot in love it felt so good to sit in the dark giggling and watching blue flashes light up the sky. And the cracks of thunder are so yummy. I love a thunderstorm and I love other people that love thunderstorms - Professor K! And a lot of other people, it's not unusual. I can't wait to stand on our new wraparound porch with a candle going, maybe some incense, a glass of wine, and watch a thunderstorm crawl across the sky. Mmmmm...that will be so nice. My tongue hurts. What did I do to it? 9:06 a.m. - 2004-08-13 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
