im going loco!

PB loco that is.

i was stuck all day with the mom. it was taxing.

you know how babies like shiny things? yea, shes kinda like that. so imagine going to multiple furniture stores, and then the mall with her. she gets all wide-eyed and crazy; grabbing things, buying random crap, and trying to rationalize why we need everything williams-sonoma sells, so we can have a successful thanksgiving.

did i also mention that she gets lost every couple minutes? she never remembers where we came in, which direction to go....

like a chicken with her head cut off. but i love her so.

i do.

anyway, i got this yummy choco banana pb from this place PB loco. mmmmmmmmmm...

laughing so hard it hurts
Category: movies

i just went to see Dan In Real Life, with Steve Carrell. I have never in my life laughed so hard. I actually thought my cousin and I were going to have to leave because our laughter was disruptive.

Such a great ending to a very busy, very taxing, but productive, amd actually enjoyable week. After only four hours of such last night, I am definitely ready for bed, and another hopefully great week!

Anyway, you should go check out the movie if you need a good laugh. The really great thing is that it ok to see with anyone!

Other great people who appear in this film, Juliet Binoche, Dane Cook, John Mahoney. Oh, and Sondre Lerche did the music.... I have only great things to say! Made my week.

A really great laugh can put things into perspective, and so can a really great massage(which I plan to get tomorrow!).

a bientot.

most work ever
Category: work

so, i love my one job, i really do. i love kids. they a;ways have such a interesting take on everything, and its so great to see them do so many things for the first time and watch their minds grow. plus, they are cute and cuddly, and nothing is better than cute and cuddly!

but, waking up at 5am is no fun. i stayed at the little girl's house whom i work for, because the father is out of town this week, and she can be handful. anyway, its good money, because part of the time, i am sleeping, but my oh my, this all makes me wonder...

1. When if ever will I want kids? I love them, but it is soooo much work, and you have no life outside of them, if you decide to raise a family.

2. When if ever, will I get married? Actually its not a "when", question, because I don't really care right now. But, at the hospital, everyone married with kids, and all they do is bitch! They have no social lives, and they have to work so hard to pay for what their kids wants, and they aren't happy with their husbands. I think you can be happy, but I honestly think it's a ton of work, and few and far between don't end up getting divorced.

I just think many women sell themselves short and are always desperately looking for a man to complete them. I also think, many people don't feel like a "whole" person without someone else. Maybe more so women, and not directed at any women on this site.

Anyway, it could be my bitterness of not being in love, but I no longer look at couples in love and get jealous. I get jealous of people who own Marc Jacobs, and can afford private jets.

I am jealous of people who have drivers, or just don't have a car and can walk everyone. I want to walk everywhere again.

If the asshole British guy calls me again in the middle of the night an wakes me up, I am going to have some words. But, for now, I will just silence his calls. The waiter called me for a date, but I think maybe not.

But I AM thinking, Blo in January! Then maybe NYC, prob both. Ok so, here's what I need to know, since no one ever calls me back! AHEM! (e:paul), do you guys still want to rent a cabin in Alleghany? And, I hate having to communicate through my blog, but sometimes desperate times calls for desperate measures!

I am now going to sleep for two hours before I work a million more hours!

(e:drew) has some excellent points below-- one should be happy THAT they have/are/do things, not BECAUSE.

And so many people seem to think that an internal problem (i.e., their lack of happiness with themselves or their world) is going to be solved by an external change (getting married, having children, buying a Lear jet).

The people I envy are the ones who seem to enjoy their lives and whatever they do to make their livings.

I'm under some pressure to get married-- (e:zobar) and I have been living together for over five years now. But what would getting married do? The tax breaks aren't that great and neither of us has good health insurance anyway. I shocked my mother when I said the only reason I'd get married was for insurance or legal purposes, but it's true.

I *would* like an excuse to throw the biggest party of my life-- that would be fun-- but I don't really need an excuse to blow fifteen grand. That's the single biggest obstacle in my mind to having this otherwise-unnecessary ceremony and party.

Sigh. It's such a blast living in a society that's undergone so much recent high-speed change that our shared rituals have become meaningless. But I'm not sad that marriage doesn't mean "what it used to"-- what it used to be was primarily a legal contract, and anyone who says differently is selling something-- but I am a bit conflicted over the whole thing.

My thoughts on your comments about marriage and what makes you jealous: EXACTLY. That's how I feel. All the women I work with are the same way. If they're happy its because they're divorced and dating or divorced and just have their kids to worry about. When I saw Devil Wears Prada I really wanted her to go for the life of glamour and fame and forget the boy.

I don't think its so much the marriage as the people in it. Too many people are unhappy, and some think that a job will do it, others think that a person will do it, and others think money will do it. My guess is that the guys at (e:jason)'s work didn't love life before they get married ('cause then why would they have done so?), but now that they are married the wife is a convienient person to blame.

And some people find happiness when they get married or get the private jet or whatever, but I maintain that they are few and far between, and mostly pretending.

For the record, I am happy (at least much of the time) THAT I am married, but not BECAUSE I am married. Likewise, I am happy that I have a car and a house and some other stuff, but not BECAUSE of those things.

Every once in a while I get jealous of people that have more money, but once I get to know them I tend to lose my jealousy.

jason - 11/09/07 10:49
Yeah. Almost to a man the older guys I talk to tell me never to get married. I wouldn't say they are out and out miserable but they're unhappy enough to tell me not to make the same mistake!

I like it... I don't like 'stacks' though- I liked it better the way it was before. Hopefully it's just a matter of getting used to it.
Overall I'm happy with it, but it's not like you absolutely can't live without it, I'd say.

james - 10/30/07 12:57
I like it.

Jim loves it.

He knows more about these things though to form a better opinion. So I would go with his.
