cough. cough. ack. ack.

my body is wanting to get sick. yikes! i don't have time for it, that's for sure.

what's my solution:

• constantly ingesting umcka.
• bringing my schlitterbahn souvenir cup full of orange juice (equivalent to 1 liter) to work.
• soup. soup. soup.
• superfood.
• echinacea.
• sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppp. which is what my body really wants to do. right now. right this very....zzzzzzzz....

faux pas?

aren't they just in the eye of the beholder? let's hope so.

in college i fell in love the basic editions boat shoes found at k-mart. i wore them year round for my last two years of college, including the winter. the problem is that they are not very good insulators, so i wore socks. not just any socks, i might add. i was wearing green, white and red striped socks that i bought in bulk for only 7 cents a pair.

now, you would think this is a fashion statement i would grow out of, and grant it, i do only wear the boat shoes during the summer time now, but today, i found myself sitting my zurk tennis shoes, with those so same socks being shown to all the world.

fashion faux pas? possibly to the rest of the world. but for me, this is fashion at its finest. now, i am just waiting for everyone else to jump on this band wagon.

seattle. why are you cloudy tonight? i know it's winter and you love to rain, but i would have really really loved to have seen the meteor shower tonight. thanks a lot.

ps...i love that you are a city that loves square dancing as much as i do. you have only slightly redeemed yourself this evening.

reunion.

as of late, it seems as though there have been a lot of reunion tours. i would love it if the anniversary would do a reunion tour. 

for the record, they were my first concert. thank you to the year 2000, for making that dream come true.

to DI for.

i bought these shoes for $2.50 at DI last spring. they are up there with some of my favorite shoes. they maintain the trendy victorian style, but have the comfort of 80's cushioning the soles of my feet. i'm pretty sure, like most other things i own, these will never go out of style in my eyes.

a few other notes:

i am going with mr. patrick tonight to see the pixies. !!! my fourteen-year-old self things i am so cool right now.

sometimes i think of worse case scenarios, and the idea of them actually occurring makes me laugh. i wonder if i would laugh in real life too?

i completed my first of three jigsaw puzzles also purchased at aforementioned di. and guess what...not a single piece was missing...take that haters.

and most importantly, my roommate returns tomorrow!!! woo!

pugs not drugs.

best. bumper sticker. ever.

let me know when you find my spare moment?

.love//hate.

i look forward to my wednesday morning e-mail every week. really, i just love getting my travelzoo e-mail every week.

at the same time, it also taunts me. it causes me to wish i had the money and the job, that would allow me to take off to hong-kong for only $649 r/t at the drop of a hat. or that i could finally head down to LA and take advantage of virgin's cheap flights.

if you know of a job that will let me do this, and that will pay me lots and lots of money, let me know.
