It might be temporary, but I have been pressured into joining tumblr, if only to have more people see the things I write. I'm not really sure how I feel about it yet.

Here On Earth by Alice Hoffman is my favorite book. I read it every October and it moves me every single time.

The Ex-Files

Setting: Drunken hookup in partial stages of undress and gropage.

Him: I just love your big fat ass.
Me: (Pausing)
Him: (Staring in wide-eyed horror) Wait...oh God..Wait. I didn't mean that the way it came out.
Me: That's OK. I get it.
Him: Really?
Me: Yeah. It's like how I really love how easy it is to get my hand around your cock.

Me: I have an idea.
Dave: I'm on board.
Me: You don't know what it is yet.
Dave: Doesn't matter.
Me: It involves you, a tube of toothpaste, and a strap-on.
Dave: Still on board.

An almost full 6 months later

Sooo...It's been 6 months and this is actually my 100Th post so I thought I'd recap for everyone where I am since the last one.

I didn't tape up the dining room to paint the trim. I bought carpet cleaner but that furniture was too far gone to be saved. I did move the dining room table in from the porch and even bought it a pretty tablecloth. I have NOT taken the tape off the walls in my bedroom. In fact, I think it adds to the charm. (And I can't reach it anyway.) I have given up on the kitchen furniture ever flowing properly until I get new furniture and THAT'S not gonna happen. I don't think I went next door and watched TV either.

That's about where I am.

My options for fun tonight, my God, they are ENDLESS

When I leave work tonight I have a number of appealing options and can't just decided what to do:

• Tape walls in dining room so I can paint the trim since I finally finished painting the walls Sunday.
• Buy carpet/upholstery cleaner on the way home so I can clean the furniture on my porch so I can enjoy it already.
• Move the dining room table from the porch to the dining room.
• Take the painters tape off the walls in my bedroom. (Pathetic since that room has been painted for MONTHS now and is the only room that I hang out in so it really should be done by now since I stare at it everyday.)
• Rearrange the kitchen, AGAIN.

What I will more than likely do when I get out of work:

• Go next door and watch TV with Bert.

Should I Travel To Tyngsboro Everytime?

I always wonder why the girl at Pearl Vision gives me such a hard time when I go to get my glasses adjusted? She without fail will say something along the lines of 'Oh, did you BUY these here?' And I say no, at the Pearl Vision in Tyngsboro. Or she'll ask 'Why EXCATLY do you need these adjusted?' I'll take them off and show how the arms wiggly violently from side to side. Then she'll do a full body sigh and make click, click, click something in the computer. The guy that adjusts them for me never says anything other than 'Sure.' I'm not angry about it. (surprisingly enough) I guess I just really wonder why she takes it so personally and seems REALLY put out. Especially since she was the one that brought around the flyer that says: Come in for free eyeglass adjustments! I mean, I did buy them at Pearl Vision, even if it wasn't that specific one. I know how annoying it feels when someone
buys something at one store and then returns it at yours, but there was a flyer! For adjustments! For everyone! And if the adjustments are free for everyone then what's the big deal? It's not like I go in and hog up her time. I work in the same mall so if they are busy, I'll go back later. I'm (obviously) sensitive to how people act rudely and without consideration when they come into my store so I try to keep my own behavior in check. I just can't figure out what I'm doing that is so offensive?

Strange.
