trying to go back to working after getting semi-involved with Eudora Welty’s No Place for You, My Love is next to impossible. luckily (?) i have meetings the rest of the day. afterwards i should have some time before class to finish reading the short story. i spent some more time with my bra shopping [...]

i think that just in time for my weekend date i will have caught a cold. i am none too pleased with this development and plan on drinking about 38 gallons of orange juice to see if that doesn’t do something. i knew i was gonna get sick. i knew it. what with all the [...]

today i got Hey Nostradamus!; the new liz phair cd; my period; and those CDs from mystery j. so many things i want to focus on, and none of them are my assignment. so is it really lame to write about bra shopping?

dear j.,
wow. i was having this utterly crappy morning. i was frustrated and full of pms. i wanted to bite people and growl. i might have growled a little bit. you’d have to ask jess, she’d know for sure. she was the one who patiently listened while i raged and raged against people who think [...]

i am super copywhore, hear me roar. i just tore through the worst, worst, worst and yet most profitable project we work on in softwareland. that’s right, tore through it. something that would have taken me four days at work, took me just under two hours here at home. i rule!

it’s 8:32 on Monday and i’m already too exhausted for words. i think it’s going to be one of those weeks. actually, i’m pretty sure it’s going to be one of those three-week stretches with too much to do, no desire to do it, and well, where all hell breaks loose on a daily basis. [...]

i might possibly have a date on saturday. with a real, live, actual man person.
that is all.

holy shit am i being a big baby tonight. i’m restless and i’m bored and i’m not willing to do anything to make me unrestless and unbored. i don’t feel like writing, i don’t feel like reading, i don’t feel like watching “Beautiful Girls” (which is in the VCR right this minute), i don’t feel [...]

how in the hell did it get to be 8:30 at night? i’m not even wearing any pants yet, it can’t be 8:30 p.m. i want a recount or something. it already seems like 100 years ago since i went to brunch with the fam (really, it was 11 a.m.) for mom’s birthday. i vaguely [...]

ok, here it is darling ones, my assignment for class. remember it was only supposed to be a paragraph, so don’t get your hopes too high. because that’s all it is– a paragraph. and not even a really good one at that.

i’m selfish lately. i don’t want to share. my head is full, my eyes are dry and heavy, my heart is empty. and i’m not going to tell anyone about it. i have to be social today, and the thought of it makes me want to curl up in the middle of my bed and [...]

i need a simple and yummy potato salad recipe. hurry! i need to bring the salad to sister #2’s annual summer bbq tomorrow. i only made potato salad once and it turned out like egg salad with chunks of potatoes in it. it was a nightmare.

i had worked myself up into a fair-to-midling tizzy about reading my paragraph aloud in class– upset tummy and sweaty palms, the whole nine yards.
when the time came, shygirljodi and bulldozerjodi had a fist fight. part of me wanted to read, i wanted to share what i had done. the other part of me [...]

shawn said it was good. keith said it was good. sister #3 said it was entertaining. i think it’s ok.
i am currently obsessing over two paragraphs i wrote for class. the photo i was worried about last night? the one i was in full-on panic mode about? yeah, i didn’t even use that one. i [...]

this is when panic sets in. when STILL haven’t done your homework for class tomorrow and when you sit down at 10 o’clock to knock it out the picture you had planned on writing about isn’t where you thought it was. and now i’m just praying, praying, praying that i backed it up on a [...]
