Madonna reported to jury duty the day after her fabulous Oscar party. She was on time but was dismissed later on in the afternoon. Hmmm, she must be on to something. She partied until at least 4am and then showed up, I’m assuming, hung over and not looking like her usual gussied up self. I think I should apply this to my own jury duty dilemma. If I party until dawn, show up looking like a shlumpadinka and stinking like a bar, maybe I’ll be sent home.
This morning, I woke up with the intent of doing my hair, cleaning and doing some follow-up phone calls. I watched the news, put on some clothes, and walked to the CVS to pick up a relaxer kit. FYI, I looked like a before from What Not to Wear, complete with beer t-shirt, jeans and a beer baseball cap. Not to mention, my hair was looking rough. As I cross a street, I hear someone saying “Excuse me.” I pay no mind because I didn’t think he was talking to me. Two blocks later, I hear another “Excuse me.” I turn and it’s some average looking guy. He says, “I just wanted to say that I saw you crossing the street and I just wanted to say that you’re beautiful.” I courtly thanked him and hauled ass into the store. It’s been a while for me, about seven months, since I have experienced any romantic flirtations from a worthy suitor. I am not at the point, however, to acknowledge an advance from some shady guy who followed me for two blocks. But you can ask me again in five months…I may be that desperate.
I got my braces tightened again. This has been going on for soooo long. I would love to be able to bite into pizza instead of cutting it up. Now I just bite into everything from the side. Well, house hunting is a bitch. I can only afford crack houses now, unless I whore myself in front of some bars. I just looked at a house last night that was jacked up. I saw a drug deal take place in front of the house! To make matters worse, there is a house for sale four doors down going for $165K!! So basically, I could take the house and hope the crack goes away, or look to purchasing a house on an alley street. I am going to look at three more houses next Wednesday. Two of the three houses are near an excellent bar/restaurant. The other house is on an alley near where I already live. All of the houses are in my price range, which is a plus.
Everyone from my department was invited to a lunch meeting with the CEO of our company. It was cool because we got the food before he started talking. It was nice to be able to sit and talk about things and get a better perspective of my company. And you know I chowed down! I was stuffed, but I made room for cookies. My boss’ boss gave me a bath bomb from Lush in London. She was in London last week and so was my mom. Mama B brought back some hand cream and some shower stuff for me. I was sooooo happy. I can’t wait to take a long luxurious bath and smell like fresh flowers!
