GOOD OFFICE DOG.

i haven't been watching glee recently, but given this clip, i might have to start again:

aaah naya rivera my girl crush you are so good in this!

also, who is the new warbler? and are they going to make out?!

the weather is all gloom and doom.

and inside i'm churning with the feeling that i'm not doing enough, ever.

a new year is upon us today. chuc mung nam moi!

i'll do better this time around, i promise.

creeeepy

 

my most valiant efforts to look presentable on a day when i have been lying in bed with chills and a horrible amount of mucus. this involves a lot of shiny makeup shit to make my eyes look like they don't have dark circles under them. BLARGH. 

sick day!

sick :(

Why did you show me the No Sleep section of Reddit, Kyle? Why?!

SO MANY SCARY STORIES I CANNOT RESIST. NO SLEEP FOR ME EVERRR.

I had extraordinarily random dreams involving an excess of unread items in my Google Reader, being best friends with Margaret Atwood, attending weddings of people I don't know, and cake.

hot tea & honey.

 

I will beat this sore throat, I will. 

NO FLU/COLD 4 ME. I SHALL NIP YOU IN THE BUD.

man, i need to watch more lifetime movies.

time for weekend cleaning.

hello, overbite.

I'm going to call it a good afternoon.

Drinking iced tea, eating a 470 calorie cookie (yes, for ONE COOKIE), reading about serial killers, checking my email, working on slow work projects...

she is a poet when it suits her
when the clouds bear the appropriate weight
and time crumbles imperceptibly
when daybreak feels like the toothed mouth
of an unseen monster closing in
when all is bleak
when all is quiet

when all remains unexplained
as only poems can be.

I still love me some Laura Marling:

These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.

so my next read came in the mail:

paydayyyyyyyy!!!!

forgot it was today, checked my bank balance, squealed in delight at the wonders of automatic deposit.

HOW TO CELEBRATE? MAYBE A HAMBURGER? EVERYDAY IS A DAY FOR HAMBURGER CELEBRATIONS!

 

Friday client meeting days are the worst b/c I still have to get dressed.

Also, this growing out of the hair thing SUCKS. WHAT TO DO.

yessssss.

I don't particularly understand the use of the winky emoticon in workplace emails but I use them anyway

"Oops! Forgot the attachments ;)"

"I'll get that to you by EOD, promise ;)"

Etc. etc.

there aren't enough hours, ever.

to-do tonight:

• temporary hair dye (purple, yayay) 
• the return of the netflix yoga video
• healthy living/eating 
• a brisk walk 
• books and blankets 
• a good night's sleep

too big of a lunch.

i am extremely sleepy and unproductive at work right now, as you may suspect.

i really want to work on my novel. and do other things. but all my energy has been sucked into general digestion.

i suppose this is what happens when you eat 3 large pancakes, bacon and eggs for lunch.

i'll keep ya'll posted on my progress.

my life is riveting, i know.

greek yogurt with a heap of blueberries for breakfast, omnomnom.

things i'm doing in my spare time:

 

rewatching the entirety of the series Rome and drawing all the characters as animals.

"CATIA OF THE JULII"

 

Gave myself blunt bangs again, to alleviate the horrible growing out process. 

daily dilemmas:

1. Was extremely tired/PMSing/couldn't concentrate on a single thing at work.
2. Went to get after-lunch power coffee -- the first full cup of coffee I've had (for one reason or another) for the past month, probably.
3. Panic attack, panic attack, panic attack.

Aaaah. Caffeine! 

The Lives They Loved: a tribute to those that died in 2011.

This is so beautiful and so sad.

I just bought a Groupon for hiking yoga sessions. Full blown yuppie now!

hanging out with mr. broccoli after one of those workdays that seemed interminable:

workday gmail conversations at their finest:

Mai-Chi: what if our boyfriends were cake decorators and pie makers

Too much watching Cake Boss. Too much perusing weird Craigslist job postings.

hella stressed = hella snacking. nomnomnom.

 

Thanks for making me a cool Plants vs. Zombies bookmark to complement my current obsession, Kyle!

so much. goddamn. work.

I am not kidding that the homeless/vagrant population around my office has somehow gotten sketchier post-holidays. Ugh. Even the walk to Walgreens today was horrible.

Going back to work sucks.

I miss the holidays already! Still keeping the tinsel strung on my desk at work.

 

I want this to use on my bookshelf as bookends and to keep my little Hercules (plus a new fish)!

Happy New Year's, dears!

My top 10 resolutions for this year are:

1. Be more grateful for everything: for family, for friends, for love, for health and job security.
2. Eat more vegetables. Do more yoga.
3. Be patient and kind always.
4. Know when to focus on myself and the things that make me happy, such as writing, reading, journaling, taking walks, etc.
5. Write more and read more, always!
6. Study for the GREs and decide what I want to do professionally.
7. Grow out my hair, again.
8. Buy less objects; experience more things.
9. Work at being less anxious.
10. Learn to budget more effectively.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful 2012 so far!

ohmygodsogood!!!

And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name.
