2. Today after breakfast I had to loosen the belt buckle on the dress I’m wearing (numbers 1 and 2 may be related…).
3. I am still not done with my thesis. Yes, this is the thesis on which I’ve been working since November. My topic has not changed, my advisor has not changed, I am just the worst thesis-writer ever. Bah humbug.
4. I still don’t have a syllabus for the class I start teaching in TWO WEEKS. [Preston, who has taught this class for the past three years, assures me that I don’t really need a syllabus for this class, but I’m pretty sure that I will light myself on fire if I don’t have a syllabus.]
5. Earlier today I told a lie.
6. I have watched all the clips on the Bethenny’s Getting Married page on Hulu. And yes. I AM embarrassed about this. Because that’s a lot of minutes of my life that I will never get back.
7. Even more embarrassing: I kind of liked them.
8. Although the next ten days are my last beautiful, perfect days of summer freedom, I would almost rather fast forward through them just to get all the transitions over with.
9. When I freaked out about our (lack of a) budget last week, part of what was bothering me was how low our savings account was. How was it that we only had THAT much money saved up? And then I remembered that we bought a car last year. Who forgets when they BUY AN AUTOMOBILE? Oh, Mary Frances.
10. I’m pretty sure I don’t know how to apply eyeshadow. And by pretty sure, I mean positive.
11. Last night before bed I didn’t wash my face. I thought about it while I was brushing my teeth, and then thought, “Meh. I think I’d rather just go to bed.” Seriously, I could have washed it - I just made a conscious decision to go to bed dirty. How very Good Life Choices of me.
12. I am embarrassingly excited for my TV shows to return this fall. HIMYM! Gossip Girl! 30 Rock! The Big Bang Theory! (and, as Preston reminded me: Castle!)
13. Sporcle informs me that I do not know all the state capitals.
14. I’m pretty sure I will be the mean parent, but honestly, I’m ok with that. Does that make me evil?
15. There is a film of dog hair all over our apartment floor. Partially because, well, it is August and we live in an un-air-conditioned apartment in the Midatlantic, but partially (mostly) because we are lazy.
16. I am completely terrified of miscarrying again, and think about it way too often.
17. Lately I’ve been listening to two songs on repeat: “New Hampshire” by Matt Pond PA and (and this is the truly embarrassing one) “Dancing on my Own” by Robyn.
18. We have never bathed either of our dogs, and have no plans to do so. Ever.
19. Edited to Add re: #15: My in-laws are coming to visit next week, and part of me doesn't even want to vacuum now, because we're going to have to do it ALL OVER again on Tuesday. So clearly the best solution is to avoid it and live in squalor between now and then. Clearly.
Don't forget Castle - Castle - Castle!
ReplyDeleteAnd the dog hair is definitely my fault - vacuuming is my job. Sorry about that.
How could I have forgotten?! The change has been made. And yes, vacuuming is your job, but I totally could have taken the handheld and gotten up the clumps (yes people, they are CLUMPS) of dog hair that are gathering in the corners of the den.
ReplyDeleteAnd a bbq will be another fun procrastination endeavor!! Hurray :)
ReplyDeleteWe picked our carpet color because we knew the dog hair would blend in, allowing for maximum length of time between vacuuming.
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't say lazy, I don't know what does!
I'm not sure I know ANY of the state capitals. Also, you are SUPPOSED to avoid any cleaning for the week to three weeks before you have to clean the house well. It is like shaving your legs: the longer you wait, the smoother they are when you finally do it.
ReplyDeleteI could EASILY respond to each and every one of these bullets, but I will spare you... however, I must admit that I LOVE reading organized randomness!! Possibly my favorite thing?!
