Oh yeah, last night I was at Carrabbas (again), and one of the waiters there was the guy that gave me one of the best kisses of my life. I had no make up on and was dressed like a slob (and of course the girlfriend I was with looked great). I hid behind my menu and hoped he wouldn’t notice me. Thankfully, he didn’t see me.

The subway was running funny this morning, so I took a cab. Yep, got in wreck. No one was seriously hurt, but the driver of the other cab got some nasty-looking (and well-deserved) airbag burns. The careless fool made me late to my 7:30 meeting, and I’m still stiff as a board 9 hours later.

Stepped off the bus, out into the city streets… Just a small town girl with a whole lot packed in the suitcase by her feet…
I just moved into a new apartment. I knew I should have insisted on seeing the actual unit and not just one that was “exactly like it”. Whereas the first has a wooden deck that overlooked a creek, the one I’m in has a concrete patio that ends 3 ft from the parking lot. So much for keeping the BBQ on the deck.
But, the red haired girl that I thought was ignoring me wrote me an email and we’ve got a date tomorrow night, so life is good.
MMm… redheads.
I’m living in an apartment with 4 PCs (soon to be 5), 3 TVs (a 32", a 30", and a 27"), two Dreamcasts, a DVD/LD player, 2 VCRs, Two stereo systems (One surround, one not), and two full size arcade machines in the garage (Street Fighter 3 and a generic one we can swap the boards out of). Neato.
I bought two suede shirts for $60. I like them.

I haven’t found the missing piece of the puzzle yet. Ah, such is life.
I just had an extraordinarily good customer service experience, with the company that holds my car note, believe it or not. My November payment is 30 days overdue. If I didn’t do something today, it was going to collection. The lady I spoke to took a check by phone, and dated it for tomorrow, when I get paid. She asked me (very nicely) why the payment was late. I told her it’s because I’ve been out on maternity leave, and just got back to work 2 weeks ago. She told me that since I’d been off work for so long, I’m in a bit of a hardship situation, and it’s so close to the holidays, they would allow me to defer my December payment, which is the one due today. All I had to do was make the November payment. This lady was just so freaking nice I wanted to cry. Genuinely nice, too, not fakey-condescending-nice. I am going to write a letter to her supervisor.

How do you know when you’ve sexually satisfied a redhead?
She unties you.

Know why gentlemen prefer blondes? There aren’t enough redheads to go around
Okay, I’m playing with the dog, rubbing her, la la, I like doggies, life is nice, I turned in my African Politics paper today, I never have to be tortured in that particular way every again, and I feel something funny on the dog. I think it’s a bit of knotted hair, so I tug it off and examine it. It’s not. It’s gross. It’s a TICK!! EEEEWWWWWWWWW!!! I was so disgusted, I was practically in convulsions.
In other semi-gross news, my roommate from Israel just IMed me. We haven’t talked since June, when we both left Israel. She’s a sophomore at Rutgers now, and is so amazingly immature and thoughtless. She was just telling me about how much she loves her dorm because the seniors buy her alcohol. Um, that wasn’t really what I meant when I asked “How’s school”?
In happy news, I just talked to my best friend from Israel (also American, lives in St. L) on the phone for the first time since June, and it was so cool. We used to talk on the phone and then say “This is stupid, come over here, we’ll have tea.” Now we live 2,000 miles apart. That makes me so sad. But it was great to talk to her.

I plan my budget on a four-week month. December’s got five paydays in it. Also, the credit company who financed my car is letting me defer my December payment, which is the vast majority of another check. Flypsyde’s gonna have a nice month.

Just had a scary bout of partial vision loss in my left eye. Only lasted for about 45 minutes though, and now it’s back to normal.
eden,
That happened to me once, too; scared the hell out of me. A little while later I had a hell of a headache. I found out later that that can be a symptom of an upcoming migraine headache. Hope it doesn’t happen, but just so you’ll know…
Cabbage, thanks for the info! Scared the heck out of me, too…all I could think was, great, just what I need, a brain tumor.
I look forward to the migraine.
Middle Son’s play was wonderful last night! But I am still steaming over the fact that in the programs which the school distributed they identified only the 30 or so kids who had any speaking part, and TOTALLY IGNORED the 90 or so kids who were part of the chorus. No mention of 'em at all. See my rant here:

eden, glad to see you posting again. Anyway, while migranes are tons better than brain tumors, they are still pretty bad! I get them once on a while. It isn’t a pretty sight. If the loss of vision thing happens again though, go see the doc!
Up for another meeting any time soon?
warm fuzzies I was missed?
Yeah, I have had exactly three migraines in my entire life, but that’s more than enough.
I don’t seem to be getting one now though, so maybe it was just some weird blood pressure anomaly.
And hey! we seem to be getting some response over in the Visit Michelle in Florida thread! Maybe we can scare up more than two this time.
