I'm Going to France...Like Now

1.  You know, I really don't like donuts.  Other than the eclair ones.  And yet, every Wednesday, when The Project Manager brings his two-box offering, I always reach for one.  I get about two bites into it and think, "I don't even like donuts.  And this is kind of gross."  Donut Wednesday also makes me further annoyed with one man in the office who is constantly coming to open the donut box and then looking around to make sure that everyone has seen him in his various, supreme efforts to overcome the donut temptation.  If no one notices, he'll say just loud enough for everyone to hear, "I don't need one of these right now."

2.  I really have no use for people who are um...useless.  There are several people at work who have absolutely nothing to do and instead of sitting at their desk, minding their own business (like me, the perfect person), they walk around and bother the busy people.  There's one that always ends up at my desk.  Whenever I see her coming, I do my very best to feign business.  Most of the time it doesn't work anyway, because she'll stand there for 45 minutes relating every, single detail of a story you never wanted to hear to begin with - usually having to do with her sex life or her current dilemma of whether or not to have her IUD removed.  Really??  Do I have to hear this??  This is also the same girl that I have to hide all of my snacks from because she's constantly trolling for food.

3.  I watched some of the Jesse James interview the other day where he claimed the reason he cheated on his wife was because he was abused as a kid.  Let me preface this with saying that I do not condone abuse nor do I not realize that there are emotional issues that arise from it.  But I'm so tired of people claiming that because they were abused in one way or another, they are not responsible for their actions. 

4.  I caught the little orange kitty yesterday.  I lured him in and grabbed him by the scruff.  Then I carried him around the office so everyone could see that I am The Cat Whisperer.  It's pretty much the only thing I did all day long.

5.  My hair has stopped falling out.  Those pregnancy hormones really work!  Unfortunately, it's not making my hair any prettier.  Just as a side note, I now have out-of-control chin acne and cankles.  Oh, and The Lentil has found the place on my bladder where if she touches it, it makes me feel like I'm going to pee my pants like right now.

6.  I'm not a fan of days like this - my boss is out of the office so there's not even a chance that there might be something for me to do.  So instead I look up pictures of vacation destinations online and then pull up Travelocity to see how much it would cost for me to get there.  You would think it would make me happy.  Instead, it makes me listless and dissatisfied.  Because sometimes, I long for the days where I could hop a plane on a whim.  And I also long for my future wherein I will be independently wealthy so I can do anything I want.

7.  Ok, I admit it.  I listen to Kesha...and I even sing along

8.  Today is my sister's 40th birthday.  I remember the days when I thought that 40 was pretty much the end of the line.  Now I realize that when I turn 40, my kid(s) will still be in elementary school.

When I turn 40 my kid will be two. Wait, I am 40 and he isn't two yet. So Old!

Please tell her not to have the IUD removed...it is the closest thing you can do besides forced sterilization on her.

It is correctly spelled Ke$ha, and yes, she's one of my running buddies.

Oh, believe me, Heather, I encourage her to keep the IUD until the end of time. I've even been encouraging her to get a second one...you know, like a backup. And perhaps a third one, just in case. Because REALLY, there's no need for her to EVER procreate again.
