Female Troubles
Waxing YOURSELF instead of going to someone else to do it is a testament to affection and devotion for your boyfriend who is traveling 1300 miles to see you tomorrow. Actually, mostly just poverty and vanity. And the kind of steel guts and fortitude dudes only dream of.
I almost took pictures, because wax strips are always good, better even than Biore pore strips. But I spared you kiddos.

Merry Christmas!
Today I put my purse in my car and then went back upstairs to my apartment to get my dogs. And in that time, someone stole my brand new camera I got yesterday that I was super excited for, and my phone.
‘Tis the season.
My fault for leaving it for five minutes alone, but c’mon. That’s bullshit. People are real dicks.

I have never been kissed at midnight on New Years.
same. cheeks don’t count right?
Me three. Are we doing it wrong?
One time I was with a boyfriend, but he was too busy playing video games to notice it was midnight.
Once it was with a different boyfriend who apparently was tweaked out on meth.
Once I didn’t know a dude was trying to kiss me and I...

I hate to brag...
but I am doing this Christmas Eve up right. Baking. Wrapping. Avoiding family so I’m not tired of them by tomorrow. Starting my Clash-mas early with a dance party. Admiring my handiwork. Feeling awesome. Making…stuff. I don’t want to get into too many details, but I’m a pretty good friend to have this year.

WatchThis year, I thought maybe it’s time to call it quits. Maybe we can’t be perfect wives, mothers, career women, and smokin’ hot sex babes all at once. And then I turned on the tv. And I remembered of course we can! All we need is stuff!
Sarah Haskins wraps up 2009 in lady advertising. And makes me swoon. Per usual.

My leggings are too big.
I’ve been sweating this exact same problem. I was just thinking this, and I didn’t think it was possible to have leggings be too big. :(

Liz: I’m not going to just do anything. I have a plan. Step one: befriend the enemy and gather information. Then use the information to drive her into the bottom ten percent.
Pete: Good Lord. Your eyes. You look like that lady astronaut who tried to kidnap that other woman.
Liz: Hey, that was a lady with a plan. Diapers, mace, Houston to Orlando in nine hours. Blamo.
Pete: I know I’m the guy who lied to his wife about having a vasectomy, but this? This is wrong.
Liz: No, it’s not wrong. I’m just staying the course, and I am enjoying it! Jack is out of my hair, people are being nice to me, there’s a guy I like IN THE BUILDING and I have the authority to fire his girlfriend! For the first time ever, things are lining up for ol’ Liz Lemon.

It is bad to take pleasure in a man’s death, unless that man is Oral Roberts, who pioneered televangelism, most famously telling his followers in 1987 that he would die if they did not help him meet his fundraising goal. The money, of course, went to support his lavish lifestyle. My parents gave him money that year, though much later they kind of came to their senses but only...

92%
That’s what I made on the test that says I know things about things and that I’m eligible to look for teaching jobs. I had to make an 80% to pass. I crammed for weeks because I didn’t remember garbage like graphing math equations, and I’m really not a good studier. I left honestly not knowing how I did. And I’ve been a ball of nerves for days.
So now starts the hard...

Don’t give Salvation Army bell-ringers a dime
Good to know. My change is going elsewhere this year.
poeks:
As Xmas draws near you’re likely to hear those Salvation Army bells a jinglin’. And like many folks—mom—you think hey! Charitable organization! Holiday cheer! Sure, I’ll drop you some bills, friend. Don’t. Well, I mean, do as you please, but if you’re a gay rights champion, then it would behoove you not to support these homophobic...

What I'm doing instead of studying for a test...
Cleaning out my tights drawer. Of course, right?
After throwing out the pairs with ungodly runs, I have:
12 pairs of solid black tights

4 pairs of chocolate brown tights (1 fishnet)
3 pairs of nude brown fishnets (1 large weave, 2 extra small weave)
4 charcoal grey
other assorted pairs in stripes, bright colors, patterns, lace styles
Let it never be said...

Aquarius: You like the idea of being emotionally cool and logical in your approach, even if you are a bit weird sometimes when you get caught up in your unconventional ideas. Today, however, you may not be able to escape your feelings that prevent you from being free and easy. Don’t fight the strong currents, even if they make you moody now. Instead allow yourself to consider where you fall...
