May 11th, 2005

Not much has been going on with me that has been post-worthy. Some bits of randomness though:

  • Although we haven’t watched this season, I am so glad that Rob and Amber did not win The Amazing Race. I hate them. I hated them both on Survivor the first time they were each on, I hated them when they were on All-Stars together, I hated the other people on All-Stars for allowing them to win, and I hate CBS for giving them another opportunity to win $1 million. So glad they lost. And for the record, I won’t be watching if their stupid wedding is televised.
  • I’m very excited about meeting Jake for dinner at our favorite sushi place tonight. I haven’t had sushi in a long time. Yummy!
  • We are thinking of buying this chair for our bedroom. We need something in there to sit on so you can put on shoes and socks. Our bed is too tall. But before I buy it online, I want to see it in person. So we’ll stop at Crate and Barrel on the way home from sushi and see if they have it in the store.
  • Speaking of which, we are slowly getting on the bandwagon of decorating our house. I mean, we’ve only been in it for two years. We have a few things hanging on the walls, but not much. Last week I bought these shelves from Pottery Barn. Jake put them up for me on Monday night. They look really good, but I’m still playing with what I actually put on them. I find decorating to be pretty difficult. I know what I like, but liking something doesn’t mean that it goes well in your house. And there are definitely things I like that don’t “go” but I want them anyway. So I get frustrated and just stop the process altogether. I am ashamed to admit that I don’t have a single thing hanging on windows in our house (except wood blinds, which I hate). Not a drapery or valance to be found in our house. Window treatments scare me more than any other decorating piece. Especially because we have these half-circle windows on the front of our house. If you live around here, or if you happen to live in a cookie-cutter development like we do, you know what half-circle windows I’m talking about. I hate those too, mainly because there is not a single window-treatment you can get for them that I like. Except shutters, which I can’t afford. We saw shutters on them at my friend Dina’s house when we threw the baby shower and they looked ok. I have eight windows on the front side of my house and three half circles. Maybe I should check into it, though. Maybe they aren’t as expensive as I think they are.
  • I am wearing the world’s most uncomfortable thong today. You’d think I’d remember that this one is a little silken torture device and just throw it away, but I never remember until I am already at work and in hideous pain. I am seriously considering just throwing it away in the bathroom and going commando for the rest of the day. I’m not sure if that would be more annoying than what I’m feeling now. I’ll have to think on that.
  • How does one go about choosing an attorney? I enrolled in this pre-paid legal thing at work so that Jake and I could get our wills and advance directives done. I am ready to get started on this, but I am utterly at a loss on who to choose from the list of attorneys on the network. And how grown up is it that I am thinking about preparing my will? That freaks my brain, to quote my six-year-old niece.

    You Know You’re Busy When…

    December 16th, 2004

    ….when it’s 4:30 and you are going to the bathroom for the first time that day. I peed for like 5 straight minutes

    With all the medication and stuff I’ve been taking, and the fact that it has been since 5:30 a.m. since I last peed, it was a very weird color. Should I be concerned?

    I know, I know. TMI….

    TMI

    November 15th, 2004

    I am wearing the world’s most uncomfortable thong today.

    On the bright side, it matches my bra. Which hasn’t happened in years. So there.

    Want to Hear Something Gross?

    October 29th, 2004

    Um, yeah, uh….. I forgot to brush my teeth this morning. And it’s 10:30 and I just realized it! Gross. I don’t keep a toothbrush with me at work, and even if I did, the thought of brushing my teeth in a public bathroom makes me gag.

    That’s how tired I am. I forgot a basic daily hygiene task that I’ve been doing every day since I’ve had teeth. Nice.

    I did not escape the rectal. I feel violated.

    And By The Way…

    September 7th, 2004

    Yes, both my posts tonight will revolve around my cooter. Sorry.

    I have to go to the Gyno tomorrow. What fun. And part of this doctor’s exam is a VERY brief insertion into the rectum to feel the underside of the uterus (or so she says, anyway…..) I imagine my face when she does this to be like the dog’s face when she gets her temperature taken at the vet.  I don’t want to be anally violated. Exit only, lady. Exit only.

    Just a Tip

    September 7th, 2004

    Here’s one to take to heart, girls. Never send a razor to do the job of a trained aesthetician with her hot wax, popsicle sticks and sheets of linen.

    The waxing hurts, but only for a couple of hours. Ishaved on Sunday and I am STILL miserable. And I have tried every little home remedy for the pain and itching and nothing works. I am destined to pay for bikini waxes for the rest of my life.

    Pain In My Kidneys

    August 4th, 2004

    As you might have caught from my previous entry about being happy about the OTC pills for urinary tract infections, I have one. And it sucks. I have gotten past the having to pee every two seconds stage, thanks to those magic little pills. But now I can actually feel my kidneys and bladder. They hurt. I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me antibiotics. But I have yet to feel the relief from the antibiotics, just the side effects. Although one of the side effects of this antibiotic is a brown discoloration of the urine. So I’ll have rainbow pee-pee this week. Orange yesterday, brown today.
