Things have been up and down and beautiful and sleepy and tough and smiley.

Wondering about blahgging:
“It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.” – Mark Twain.
Should I be keeping my mouth shut more?
Ah, well.

Favorite song right now…

I worked in the garden the other day for the first time… in… well… ever.
‘Twas a blast. Especially with some Dig beer by New Belgium. My new trend is to drink beers themed after my favorite activities. Case in point.

The other day at work, I had to cry… like, really cry… and when that happens, I like to quote Tina Fey…
“…I’m not supposed to admit that there is a triannual torrential sobbing in my office, because it’s bad for the feminist cause. It makes it harder for women to be taken seriously in the workplace. My crying three times a year doesn’t distract me from my job any more than my male coworkers get distracted watching March Madness…”
It’s true.
After finishing up the tears, I had a meeting with a guy friend at work and he asked what was up. I told him that I allow myself three cries a year at work…
– But you’ve cried twice today…
– THEY DON’T COUNT IF THEY’RE ON THE SAME DAY!
You just have to have a good cry every once in a while.

The other day, I showed up to spin class early. A woman was on the bike next to me and we were warming up. Those bikes are really close… uncomfortably close.
I noticed that I kinda smelled bad… repeat work-out clothes… whoops.
The woman next to me finally broke the silence and said…
– Thank god that smell is finally starting to go away.
– Oh, sorry, that was probably me.
– What?
– That smell… it’s me… sorry.
– What? No, they painted in here last week.
– Ohhhhhhhkay… yes, the paint. THAT smell… THANK GOD it’s gone!

My best friend and I are going to go to Greece this summer when I’m visiting her in Italy. We booked a room at this fancy pants place: http://www.aquisresorts.com/aquisresorts/aquis-sandy-beach.aspx
I told her I’m so excited about beaches and pools and sunshine, and I’ll try to play it cool, but in reality, this is what I’ll look like: http://whatshouldwecallme.tumblr.com/post/18975032747/hanging-out-at-a-pool-party

Oh, also, I think “The Skin I Live In” is the best movie I’ve seen by far thus far in 2012.
