Linen Crisp

This morning I actually shaved. Not just trimmed. Not just groomed. Not just looked in the mirror and changed my mind. But actually, one hundred percent, shaved. I have cheekbones! And a chin! They were hidden. Now they are back. It's kinda exciting. I wanted to look fresh and Calvin Klein like for this holiday weekend. Most likely I will have to shave several times before the actual holiday, but still, I needed to get back in to the habit of it all. I wish I had one of those fancy, electronic shaving things. The ones that are advertised during baseball games and Nascar races. And James Bond movies. Not so much advertised as "strategically placed", if you know what I mean. So yeh, I'm looking real crisp. And the weather agrees with me. Warm sun, hot gentle breezes, blue skies, little birds making noise. It's all very nineties Gap ad. I like it. I wore khakis, a blue t-shirt and a tiny gray cardigan this morning when I left the house to grab a bagel. The clerk lady commented me on my cardigan, and you know it was legitimate because only retail workers have to lie about that sort of thing. Believe me, I would SO know. Anyways. I was very spring like today, which might be why I haven't been able to fall asleep yet today. Work starts again in about five hours and I've been up all morning and afternoon. But the day is too beautiful to sleep through, I'll just grab a cappuccino on the way in tonight. I'm excited for this weekend; nice weather, cute clothes, getting to see my family, being down in Chicago. It should be lovely. I've been making mental lists of what to wear and pack, and when to wear it. I do shit like that. What can I say. I'm kinda really jumping at the chance to look cute and dress nice, I'm getting sick of my 3rd shift wardrobe. I want to look nice and collared and crisp and fresh. Like Brad Goreski! I kinda love him. He's the sidekick to Rachel Zoe. And he's super cute. He dresses so nicely, and smiles so pretty, and seems like so much fun. Me and him would totally hit it off. We could be besties, for sure. And shop together. And make out. What? Who said that! Where'd that come from?! Anyways. I'm going to do my best to look both Easter and GQ approved this weekend. But right now I'm going to try and look both asleep and resting, maybe then my brain will turn off and I can get some shut eye before having to go to work again. It's kinda doubtful though. The sun is still out and shiny, and it's so nice. I can't wait till I can actually enjoy a spring day and not feel the urge to sleep through it. Missing out on all this weather is making me go bananas! Soon enough, I'll get to enjoy. Sleep now. Coffee later. Look cute in the future.

ps- seriously guys, if you haven't bought stock in Starbucks(and you read my blog regularly)what are you waiting for?

Yeh, Well You're Ugly

Some asshole flipped me the bird while I was driving home this morning. Dumb ass thought it would be fun to do forty in a twenty five, and try to push my car into doing the same thing. Obviously I had no choice then to practically put my car into neutral and let gravity move it. Sonuvabitch is lucky I didn't get out my car. The last thing you want on your hands at seven in the morning is an angry 3rd shift worker. But he shouldn't be flying through residential streets anyway. Kids are going to the bus stop and walking to school. It's not the worlds fault that his lazy ass couldn't get out the door on time. Shit! Try to push up on my car like that, that won't fly with me. So then I get to the stop sign I turn right at, which is on a two lane street, and he pulls up next to me to turn left and flip me off. OH! I tell ya, if I wasn't six houses away from mine, which meant I was six houses away from my bed and Caleb, I wouldn't have chased that ugly little dude. He was probably just hating because his face looked like a compost pile. So now I'm in a funk and don't feel like writing. And I have a ginormous pile of laundry to fold. And I had to cut some checks to pay some bills. And my tummy hurts. And it's not even nine am yet. F this nonsense!

It does smell and look like spring though...that's cool.
