It's good to be back

· 🌡️ 58°F

After the world's most dramatic vacation (I blame PMS for my insanity) I'm back in the city. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this as I kinda just wanted to go somewhere and forget about life period.

Turns out being back is not so bad. When I arrived at work everyone was actually happy to see me. It's a nice feeling. And despite having a shit load of work, I'm not hating work at all.

And the icing on the cake: Saks is having a huge sale. I went and bought some lip balm, various face creams (I'm such a sucker for that junk) and (drum roll) Marc Jacobs sunglasses.

Basically I'm going to use work and retail therapy to drown my sorrows. As of day one it's working.

Convo with lilho

· 🌡️ 32°F

Me: I am not dramatic.

Sarah: OMG you are so dramatic.

Me: Um. No.

Sarah: You take it to the next level. You have drama and then you instill fear into the general public.

Me: Oh. I can't argue that.


Easter Basket '09

· 🌡️ 38°F

Me: So am I getting a Easter Basket?

Mom: No Jessica you're not. What would I even put in one for you?

Me: A baby chicken, jelly beans, candy, Easter surprises.

Mom: I don't even know what a Easter surprise is.

Me: Buuuuut my heart wants one.

Mom: Fine. Go take a shower we're going to the store.

Moral of the story: If you say your heart wants it to your Mom you get what you want.

Worst Vaca Eva

My strep throat is in full force. My neck actually hurts from my tonsils being so swollen.

I feel bad because my mom was so excited to have me here.

Honestly if I was well enough I'd just get on a plane and go back to NYC and hit the reset button.

Conversations with Momma Ho

re: the volcano that erupted in Alaska

Momma: He said it looked like snow in NYC.

Me: Ew, that's so rude to diss NYC like that. You know when it snows here it's actually white until it hits the ground. (said with attitude)

Momma: Jessica he's from NYC. When you're from New York you can say anything you want and it's not rude.

Me: Oh. Yeah. Actually thats right.

Party Prep

@lilho getting ready. @hodown already ready (I take 75% less time to get ready). Snaggle tooth included. Soundtrack to this lovely scene:

NWA "Just Don't bite it". @paul and I were trying to teach @lilho a lesson. We also showed her the Rodger Rabbit dance. She'd never seen it before. Are we that old?

So @paul even though you once punched me so hard I ended up with a snaggle tooth I still adore you.

Yes. I do plan on making every picture from now on sparkly. I discovered blingee.com and I'm obsessed (thank you random blogs!). It's like you can put glitter on everything now. I think the kids realized this back in 2001 with the upswing of myspace, but whatever.
