January 9, 1997 -- Chaos? Nope, just snow and stupidity.The rain gets really cold and people forget how to drive (assuming they knew how in the first place!) Grrrr. I ran a few errands today and on my way home, in the snow, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the sandtrucks. Go me. Perfectly bad timing. Not only do I get to drive on the fresh, slippery snow, but I get to see the people 100ft back, the ones BEHIND the truck, laughing at me. Grrr. I had dumb fake nails on...I did them myself (I did a fairly decent job,I just did it two weeks ago so it sucked by today!). I took them off.It takes FOREVER to get those freakin' things off. I had to soak myhands in the beauty shop equivalent of nitric acid. I don't see what'sso beautiful about any of it, by the time you're done you smell like an overripe turnip. Then my own nail suck. Well, they sucked before (that's why I put the dumb things on in the first place!) but not THIS much. All super-soft and peeling and generally gross. Blech. The worst part is that they end up breaking right at the base, and I get six weeks of sucky painful nails. I decided NO MORE! My own nails will grow in strong and healthy and beautiful, all on their own. Oh yes...they will. Then I laughed at myself and said "Self"....urg...I can't believe I typed that. Then I dragged my sorry calcium-deficient skinny ass toCVS and bought some magic nail treatments that HELP your nails grow in strong. Ha! I shall win this battle! And I shall have beautiful nails! I swear to it! OH GOD I JUST TALKED ABOUT MY NAILS FOR A WHOLE PARAGRAPH! No more. I ate lunch with Brian today...I drove him around in my nice toasty warm car. We got some Boston Chicken...I know, it's called Boston Market now - KISS MY BUTT! I'LL CALL IT MEL GIBSON IF I WANT!... Lunch breaks are all too short is all I have to say. It's okay though,I have a dinner date with him tomorrow. ;) But that's tomorrow. Jos'sboyfriend and Dan S. are driving down today. In the snow. They still aren't here at 9:30pm. They left at noon so I'm sure Jos is flipping out by now. I haven't heard from her all day. Grr. Ack. I have no thoughts left for now. I'll finish this later. I heard from Jos, about 10pm. For three seconds. She said "They're here, I'm fine, bye." Hmm...maybe she was busy...:::snicker:::I ended up sitting around teaching my mom some computer stuff and being generally bored. Brian stopped by after work when he came to his senses and decided that, four-wheel-drive or not, he was NOT going to Montauk in Ray's new car in the snow. I introduced Bri to a delicious chicken sandwich from Pudgie's then he left to go to some thing at Ray'sthat I wasn't invited to. I ended up eating lots of cake. I went to sleep very early....in the morning, that is...after I talked to Brian. Gosh, what a sap I am. He makes me smile and get that squishy feeling in my stomach (even when I'm NOT hungry, duh!). I think we both have a better idea of what to expect from each other, and what to NOT let grow into a huge problem...I told him he smells, and he told me that my mother makes bad tacos. One small problem solved before it became huge! Overall we're both really happy. And yes, I can say WE because we talked about it! I'm happy, he's happy and if that isn't enough for our friends to be happy with us....forget them. We'll be happy on our own! And all you folks who may think this IS a bad idea....my mother approves of this. That's right...MOM. And if Mom approves there must be something RIGHT about it all; she's very open with me if she thinks I'm being truly stupid. So maybe all of you disapproving folks ought to reconsider and take a better look at what's going on, rather than saying "I think it's a bad idea." and getting all pissy at us because of your quick judgments. |
