lemon yellow snot

I know I have a sinus infection, but seriously, the stuff coming out of my nose is just not of nature. It looks like the paintings Laura has on the living room floor right now: layers of dandelion...and fricken NEON yellow! (I'd post a picture, but that's just too much effort for me right now so you get font color changes...er, not of the snot, of the paintings, geez.)

I know I'm not the only one that has had this issue since I googled it, but still, the world may be a better place if my mucus glands would calm the frick down! Someone was wondering if the color change was due to their chemo...omg what is wrong with me!? I have nooooo idea how the body produces such an unnatural color!

I can't go to the doctor cuz I have no insurance (and who wants to pay for that...?) so how many oranges do I have to eat!?

You know you're lazy...

when you'd rather just buy new underwear than do a few loads of laundry.

our machines are expensive! so i drive 20 minutes to do laundry and you have to wait for it and fold it and bring it home to hang up and oh my gosh--too much effort...i'm a bum.

fml

remember the part where i said i'd be better at this? lies.

but anyway, little update:
my company is restructuring...and they have been since last October...and our company makes things that are totally luxury/expensive/unnecessary which means that in this economy, business is down (duh)...but my department is always busy no matter how slow orders are, there are always problems! buuuuut apparently that isn't enough for job security because they moved my whole department up to our windows plant.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't feel like I was just being the bitch in this situation by not being part of my department, technically, but still having to do all the old work. I have to clean up everything pending and then they'll figure out what to do with us.

Let's see, i hate my job...but I think I'd hate everyone elses' job more...mainly because I hate my company, or mainly the people they hire as managers. I thought these people got degrees in this crap... I'm sure they want to make us miserable so we'll quit, or offer us jobs we don't want so that we can't be laid off. I want my unemployment, can't they just lay me off alreadyyyy!???

oh my gosh, who asks to get laid off.......

A Little Taste of Heaven

I had the best Red Velvet cake I've ever had in my whole life at Heaven Sent Desserts (3001 University Avenue in SD). It's light vanilla bean cream cheese frosting enveloping/sandwiched between moist layers of red velvet cake (which is not overpowering like every other frosting I've had on this cake) and a little toasted coconut pressed onto the exterior side. I don't usually love coconut but THIS was bomb. Heavenly delicious. Amen.

What I Learned From 2008

Generic brands are A-OK. (saving money=good.)

Getting along with your roommates makes for a more enjoyable life.

Time goes by really quickly. What the heck was Madonna singing about in Hung Up!?!?!??? Oh yeah, waiting for a guy to call. Pfft.

Staying is my new adventure.

God always comes through. Always. Even when you feel like you're so far away from where or who He wants you to be... & if you think He's not, you're just not seeing the bigger picture.

I'm all talk. Something I'm trying to work on...again...in 2009.

*confession*

When that little end of the evening, "That was fun, we should do this again sometime?" question/statement rolls around and I've said "yeah..." (smile, nod...) not ONCE have I meant it.

kids, go to college...

but don't ever graduate, the real world blows.

Unless, of course, you're doing something you're [a] passionate about, [b] something that excites you when you wake up in the morning, [c] something that brings joy to your life, or at the very least, [d] something that is getting you where you want to be going (which is most likely a means to get to [a, b or c]).

Look at my life like Gossip Girl, what NOT to do*...haha.


*Disclaimer: I love Gossip Girl, but it's definitely a guide on how to NOT live your life...
