Fortuitous

I'll let you in on a little secret...90% of my posts this week were completed last week. Yea, yea, yea ....I know its a wee bit sneaky of me, but I figured "hey, you'll be too tired to blog."

Fortunately/unfortunately that isn't actually the case. Anywho, so I've been logging in every day just like you have to see what the topic of the day is (I hope you weren't foolish enough to think that I remembered what I set up to post) and today's topic is actually scarily on point with what is currently on my mind.

I am disgustingly and disarmingly "in love." I gagged just a little just then. It's so painfully unlike me that I would go into hiding, except no one "in hiding" ever looks good, (Can you name someone?) so I'm wearing my emotions(and narcissism) on my sleeve....and it's a bright, sparkly, heavy sleeve I might add.


I'm having one of those days..you know the ones....where you listen to "So High" and Chrissette Michelle's "Golden" and sit at work with the kool-aid grin.

Ugh!

To answer my own question from the previous post.

In the past, I thought that I had everything that I could ever want. Then I found out that I actually didn't have much at all. So the wonderful, aggravatingly charming man that I'm so smitten with right now embodies what I didn't even think to ask for. How about that for nausea?

LOL....

Day Dreams

Daydreamin an I'm thinkin of you
I'm thinkin of you baby.....

When you imagined the man (or woman) that you were going to spend your life with....is that person like the person that you're with right now?

MOH Overview....In Pics

Yes, Yes, Yes.....The wedding was beautiful and if you have FB and have seen the pics then you'll know what I'm talking about. However, as I mentioned in my last post about MOH-ing, the wedding wasn't my concern....it was dropping the ball.

Well....I can honestly say that I had such a good time with all of my good friends that 'dropping the ball' left my mind as quickly as it entered. There will be a "meatier" post about MOH-ing, but for now lets get to the fun stuff....the pics!

Is it possible to be terrified of being a success, a failure, and succumbing to mediocrity all at the exact same time?

I suppose it is possible since that's exactly how I'm feeling these days.

Office Thoughts

When I'm in an office I become a different person. It's as though "regular" Dani is replaced with "office" Dani. I think I rather like her.

I think that often times we develop work personas that are different from our daily lives. For instance, my workstation is immaculate and I feel strongly that it should remain that way. However, in my room, there is not one square inch that is not littered with clothing and crap. I should take a picture, but I refuse to embarrass myself that way.

I'm witty, engaging, and charming at work. At home, I'm too tired for all of those things. I'm usually pretty quiet.

I used to say that I had a work-boyfriend....but then he became my actual boyfriend....so...I don't make that reference anymore (lol).

I feel like my social psych genius podmate....wait no...maybe it's industrial psych genius podmate....either way, i feel like she has a reason why I'm conditioned to turn on the charm and cleanliness any and everytime I'm in a work setting.....

Meltdown

I don't care for summertime. I don't appreciate the heat and overall brightness. My favorite times during the day are 5am-7pm and 7pm- I fall asleep. The heat and brightness just exacerbates whatever may already be bothering me. Yes, I'm a vampire. Heaven is a cloudy day, violent storm, dusk, darkness....you get the point.

So basically, what I'm saying is I'm already agitated.

Today marks yet another day in which my disdain for the heat has gotten the better of me.


Jesus be a job and a relocation check...I need to get out!

Dear Sir....

I am not sitting at this desk trying to choke down a vegetable soup cup, because I like vegetables. I am trying to get on track to being a healthier me. Now, until we can figure out a way to make healthy food as yummy and inexpensive as unhealthy food, there are a few things I'd like to ask of you.





#1 Do not bring your McDonald's bag full of goodness and wrongness around my work station.

#2 Do not flash me a trans-fat laced smile, at this exact moment I hate you.

#3 Please answer me this......Where is the closest McDonald's? (just wondering...)
