Fridays put me in a good mood

Friday is finally here! I've been dragging all week but today I'm in a good mood and ready for the weekend. I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday. That was a sad moment, but I've rebounded!

The security guy at the front desk in our building is the nicest guy. He's always in a good mood and says hello to you. I believe his name is Preston, unless someone made that up and now we all assume that's his name.

My boss has left early and I'm pretty much caught up with work so I'm enjoying some internet time by checking out some amazing pictures on this livejournal. I would love to be traveling in New Zealand and Australia taking pictures.

I bought a new digital camera today. A Canon Powershot (just a point and shoot). Eventually I would like to get a digital SLR camera because I love taking pictures but I think I need to save some money for that as they can be a bit pricey.

My old digital camera will be going to my mom. She doesn't have one and my old one still works, I've just upgraded.

I think I'm going to head to the old building at the end of my Street and take some pictures. It's an interesting building and I keep meaning do that.

Practicing my moves

I slept eleven hours last night. It was glorious. I was unexpectedly busy at work this week. Clients were coming out of the word work. "Hello, your firm divorced me in 1983 and I need this document." It was like that all week.

But now it's Saturday and I don't have to bust out the shovel. Tonight is my early birthday celebration. I rented a room at a karaoke place in Allston called Do Re Mi. It's so ghetto and awesome. It's the best place for karaoke in Boston. I have a few songs that I plan on singing. Here's the short list:

• Gangster's Paradise - Coolio
• Superman's Dead - Our Lady Peace
• The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block
• Teenage Dirtbag - Wheetus
• Just Dance - Lady Ga Ga

I love being surprised by what my friends pick.

It's going to be a toasty 6 degrees tonight. I'm starting to question global warming because I'm starting to feel like I live in Fargo.

I can't make this stuff up

I've been a bit slow with the blogging but I've been doing very important things like getting suckered into hiring a personal trainer and then bailing after two sessions. I like being able to lift my arms and walk without looking like I'm going to cry from the pain or moving limbs.

Work has been surprisingly busy. We had news crews in the office yesterday which had people running around a bit. I don't really like to talk about my job in detail on the interents so I'll leave it at that.

I've also spent hours on this site. Pack up your vampire glitter and Edward pillow cases, who wants to go to TwiCon 2009! I'm still laughing. This is just out of control!

This is a boredom post

This is my I don't want to be working today face.

There are a grand total of three people in the office today. It's just a little too quiet. I've done some shopping online (two new pairs of jeans and a jacket), twittered, went on facebook, checked my e-mail, checked the blogs I read, did a little bit of work, and now I'm BORED.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I ate too much but it was worth every last tasty bite. I had Thai food from my favorite Thai place, I had food from the Chateau which has the best bread and toasted raviolis, and I had a home cooked dinner of ham, a roast, rolls, potatoes, green bean casserole and corn. This was not all in one day. I'm not that fat.

I should go to the gym today but I shouldn't drive anymore than needed on my spare tire. This is quite the good excuse not to go to the gym.

I just have to say being single around the holidays is no fun. All my friends are spending the weekend with their boyfriends or girlfriends or fiances and I'm just hanging out by myself being bored.

Ok back to "work"

I'm not dead just busy

Wow I haven't updated for a little bit. I feel like I've been busy but I don't have much to show for it. We did an early Christmas for my brother who is now in Texas for boot camp. I saw him get sworn in on Tuesday. I forgot to take pictures because I was so busy taking pictures for my grandmother with her camera. I don't think its sunk in yet that he's gone. I might fly to Texas in February for his boot camp graduation.

So it's finally Thursday. Christmas is getting closer and I have no idea what to get my boss. Last year I wanted to get him these pirate cuff links I saw and then he comes into the office wearing them! I yelled at him and told him I was suppose to buy those for him. Now I'm stumped. Suggestions for gifts for my boss? I can't be cheap as he is not stingy with my gifts.

I've been doing pretty good at not eating tons of junk and I've been running. I'm giving myself a gold star for effort. Once I get into the routine of exercising it's much easier to stick with it.

Oh I did a review of the Miracle on Tremont Street show with Dearly Beloved, Airborne Toxic Event and Franz Ferdinand for thehyp.net which should be up soon. I'll post the link later on.

Time to get the fluff ball (my cat) off my lap and get to work.

Mystery texter revealed and I'm bored

Ginny here on the front lines of the law firm to report that all is quiet on the divorce front. So far it's been a quiet day at work although all hell usually breaks loose right before we close for the day.

Tonight is our third attempt to make it to Mantra. The last two times we've tried its been a bust. Not this time. We are on a mission!

Last night I went to dinner at the Burren with Sarah who is now an Esquire! We had some burgers and beers and listened to live Irish folk music.

So mystery text was from a guy who I hung out with about two years ago but he started dating some girl. Now he wants to meet up for some drinks. I'm not in the mood. I was sort of interested TWO YEARS AGO. Now I really could care less.

I've been seeing the new GAP ads everywhere. I saw this one and thought oh, James Blunt?? No its Napoleon Dynamite! Poor Tina probably wouldn't even recognize him.

Crap day and a mystery text

I had a bad day at work. Nothing like being reminded that you're just an assistant who makes copies and types letters to put you in a good mood.

I watched 27 Dresses and finished off a piece of mystery cake left over from friends Thanksgiving.

I got a mystery text this evening that said "hey you! long time no talk!" I have no idea who this is. I could respond with "hey how are?" or "hey who are you?" I really shouldn't delete numbers from my phone.

Slow work day = random blogger post

It's a very slow work day and the sky is looking pretty doomsday like. I need to be busy or I get extremely bored. This is why I could not be unemployed or have a job where I sat there and did nothing all day everyday. I do go through really busy spurts where I’m working late and forget to eat until way past lunch but this week is not one of those weeks.

What did people with desk jobs do before the internet? I think this might explain why people use to smoke in offices. I would too if was bored and had no internet plus I would probably want to die an early death hence the smoking. Luckily I live in 2008 and can go on blogs, stupid gossip sites and Wikipedia all day.

I also need to stop checking my e-mail obsessively to see if a certain guy has sent me a message. Self control, I need to have it. I’m waiting not so patiently and it’s driving me insane! If I was busy with work I wouldn’t be thinking about it so much.

In happier news, Melissa has decided to stay in Boston and not move back to Florida. If I could do a flip I totally would. I won’t lie, when she told me she was moving back home to Florida I cried. I cried a lot. She is my best friend and although we’ve only known each other for two years it feels like she’s been around forever and quite frankly I would be very bored and lonely if she left. I have other friends and I would manage but it was sad thinking she wouldn’t be around. Apparently she has decided the same. She called me on the phone last night and told me she would miss Boston, miss her friends here, and got upset thinking about all of us going on with out her. I think the jist of her words were:

“I mean I LOVE you and I LOVE my street and I LOVE this city and I LOVE Jesse and Darryl and I can’t live away from all of you and I don’t want you going to a coat check and then posting on facebook how awesome that coat check was!”

Really, we don’t have that much fun in the coat check line.
