I don't think I'll ever be a white wine person.
I’m just too indulgent for that.

My techno music-loving neighbors just had a baby.
One would think that having a small child would calm the thudding techno music that reverberates throughout my apartment every night.
Nope. These guys just keep at it.

My bed consists of 600 thread count sheets, a down comforter, a Giraffe At Home throw, six pillows, and a sweater, in case I get cold. I would never make it in a third world country.
This morning, as I was eating breakfast burritos...
The ad agency I was contracting for decided to end my contract early to officially welcome me on board this week. :)

Kinda sorry.
Sorry, fellow followers, for my lack of original postings and babblings in the recent weeks.
When you spend 40+ hours a week writing as a profession, it’s hard to find the time and patience to do it for fun.
IMMA TRY HARDER Y’ALL.

We now have a kegerator at work
I’m on my first and only cup of Rahr.
Then I’m going home to eat leftover pasta and continue working on a pitch.
Sorry that was so anticlimatic.

Upward Over the Mountain—Iron and Wine
Mother don’t worry I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed Mother don’t worry I’ve got some money I saved for the weekend Mother, remember being so stern With that girl who was with me? Mother, remember the blink of an eye When I breathed through your body? So may the sunrise bring hope Where it once was forgotten Sons are like birds Flying upward over the...

Meh.
Today the sky looked meh.
The weather was meh.
Work was…meh…
The farfelle pasta with vodka sauce I made tonight was pretty meh.
The cheap cab wine I had with it was meh, too.
I just finished the movie “Precious” and it was extremely meh.
Today was just meh. Tonight was just meh.
Some days, everything is just meh.
Meh.
I'm a control freak
I’ve been waiting for over an hour for an oil change and I just want to go back into that garage and stand over whoever’s shoulder to make sure they’re doing their job.
But I can’t. I have to just sit here and wait. Maybe this is teaching me a lesson.
I can’t control everything.

On Cunkles
I know someone who is related to a man that is both her cousin and uncle, appropriately dubbed “cunkle.”
Every single time I think about it, I burst out laughing.
Today, it was while I was using the restroom, in the company of two other people.

One thing that really lights my fire
When people do not say ‘thank you’ for simple things like holding a door, asking what floor they’re headed to on the elevator, etc.
Good God. You live in Texas. Learn some fucking manners.

Someone just said "Good Morning!" I replied with...
I'm 24 years old today.
This is an especially strange age for me, because my mom was 24 when she had me.
I couldn’t possibly imagine having a child at this age. But, my mom was also married, had a paid-for home and a career at 24.
ONE DAY I’LL BE AS PUT-TOGETHER AS HER.
