April 2008 Archives

so, this spring i have been the envy of the entire neighborhood.  the entire city really.  my tulips have been STUNNING.  i won't bore you with a photo because that is totally cliché and i don't need to validate how AWESOME they are by forcing you to stare at them and then paw at the screen because you want to cut them.

they turned out to be the most stunning red and full and perfectly placed.  today i finally cut them and got a full vase and then managed to have enough for a bouquet to take to a neighbor and giver her a full vase as well.  i know people walk by and envy my tulips, i have been told as much.  they should see the calla lilies in the back. 

you see, once you get chicken pox, in theory, you can't get it again.  i am sure there are like a gagillion other diseases and illnesses that are the same way.  but this is not the case for monkey sars.

monkey sars is a disease that comes back over and over again.  it is a dirty, dirty disease spread through grading papers, teaching, talking with students, and sitting at a different table other than your favorite one at coffee houses.  the symptoms of monkey sars vary from person to person and can be mild to severe.  but let's face it, they are sever because it is monkey sars.

don't be fooled by the fact that it is not featured on webmd.  it is real.  it is here.  it is thriving in me.  achoo.

so today, i managed to forget my lunch.  now normally, this is fine and dandy and i can survive until i can find food.  for whatever reason though, i was starving by the time i made it to the office and could have gnawed off one of my feet.  i was starved.  it felt like i hadn't eaten in years.  seriously, if i had looked in a mirror, i would have seen an olsen twin, that is how hungry i was.

so i made it home and remembered the leftovers in the fridge from my dinner last night.  i already regret eating them for a couple of reasons.  the first being, shudder, they were leftovers, shudder, with meat.  i ate it last night and it was good but i do not like leftovers and i especially don't like leftovers with meat in them.  there is something about it that repulses me to the core and usually i can eat about half of it before i want to gag and end up throwing out the rest. 

the second reason is that i managed to eat the whole container of leftovers and i am now pregnant with a food baby.  (thank you juno for teaching me the term because i totally get the "food baby".)  yes.  my tummy went from chubby from all the lattes and the fact that the weather has been so wonky that i haven't walked to work much (joining gym in may), to now a food baby belly.  i think i am gonna be sick.

i can't begin to tell you everything going on at the moment.  but last week was not a good week and i am tired.  sorry i haven't blogged but there hasn't been a lot to blog about.  and what there is to blog about, i won't blog.  i got nothing else for the moment.

have you ever gone to your blog to look at it for a moment and are surprised to find that your post is a few days old?  not because you haven't written anything but because you are sure that you did write something?  so sure, that you think you remember sitting at the computer typing up a post about something so important that it was sure to cure world hunger and create world peace?  certain that you had hit the submit button after having picked tags and categories and searches?  have you ever done that?

because i have.  i am pretty sure that i typed a post and posted it but it isn't there.  i just don't know what the post is about and if i am dreaming this or if i am just crazy.  the latter.  clearly.
