Me, Me, Me* The avaricious, prodigal; Condemned to useless labor.
And man, is it ever hilly here. Today has been one long series of ups and downs:
Up: wide awake at 5 a.m.!
Down: at work by six.
Up: was first to make coffee, so it’s double-strength!
Down: lumpy milk and brown bananas.
Up: Kathy brought me a bear claw!
Down: database brought me an inexplicable ODBC call error.
Up: feeling perkier, decide to post a little!
Down: Lee reminds me that I’m fickle; chases me off again.
Up: hubby and children come up to office and we picnic at park; children take off clothes and dance around in creek like crazed pixies!
Down: spill Diet Coke all over pants, later garnished by Dylan placing muddy hands on fronts of my thighs and sweeping down in one long stroke.
Up: giddy trip to Walgreens for bags and bags of M&Ms!
Down: tummyache to beat the band.
Up: cleared my desk of stray to-do items!
Down: now nothing left between me and dreaded file project.
Up: thought of one last post!
Down: now nothing left between me and dreaded file project.
But do you know what’s cheering me up all out of proportion to the day? My shoes. I love my new, sexy red shoes. I painted my toenails to match in the pre-dawn darkness of my office. They make me smile.

I write. A lot.
I also design stuff and collect funny things kids say. Oh, and please buy my book. It's very funny.
I also review books and keep track of them in The Mommy Blog Amazon Book Store.

How can so many people be ahead of me in your comment section?? Pissed!!
03.16.04 at 02:58 PM |
I mean, it’s not like I don’t care!! Some of us have jobs, you know!!
03.16.04 at 02:59 PM |
Ok, those last two comments that I made seem really hostile. I just had a bad day, ‘s all. So sue me!
03.16.04 at 03:00 PM |
Shit! I did it again, didn’t I? I came off all negative. Sorry about that. I’ll work on being upbeat and positive from now on.
03.16.04 at 03:02 PM |
Wait! Screw that! Maybe I just wanna be down. Maybe I’m tired of being Mr. Happy! Damn it, Mindy! You’ll just hafta take what I have to give!!
03.16.04 at 03:05 PM |
Wow! That last comment was SO not what I wanted to say! I apologize, doll! I actually DO want to be Mr. Happy. It’s more of my natural state.
And in keeping with that feeling, I’ll give you back your comments.
Thanks for letting me ramble!

Hon, I’ll take you any way you are. That’s what makes you so likable! We can be pissy together. It’ll be fun. Here, have an M&M;.
*hands you the remote and goes off to make you a drink*
*takes huge gulp of your drink, realizes it’s almost gone, then quickly goes back to refill it*

Wow! Love the new shoes! I agree, they’d make any day a good one.
