Not even a Tuesday.
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 9:04PM I realized when I made a super inappropriate joke during a daycare board meeting today, that I need to blog more. My obnoxiousness is creeping out in the wrong places.
Although I still maintain that “Double-Yew Tee Eff” is a totally work-appropriate email response. It’s all spelled out! Who could be offended by that?
Anyway, the problem is I don’t have much to blog about. I know really good writers can blog about nothing and make it worth reading, but let’s be honest here. My blog is the equivalent of sit coms and fart jokes. I need props, you guys.
So, situational updates are my fallback. And here they are.
Work is still going really well. I do have a couple of clients who are demanding and stressing me out, and I’ve just realized now as I type that referring to “demanding clients” makes me sound vaguely like a hooker. In retrospect, I totally understand the weird looks I get from people who don’t really know me when I exclaim, “Oh my god! My client is so needy – calling me at 7am on a weekend!”.
So, to summarize: Work good. Not a hooker.
My child is 4 years old, and I think he’s going to be a lawyer. Let’s not dwell on either of those subjects.
Summary: Child four. Send wine.
The levels of thyroid medication my doctor put me on appear to be doing jack squat. I realize it can take weeks to improve symptoms, but “weeks” to me means “two”, and it’s been two. Maybe two and a few days! Not to be a demanding client, but, IT TOOK YOU 3 YEARS TO DIAGNOSE IT, FIX IT FASTER.
Although I had a cold and now a sinus infection, so that could be skewing the results.
Summary: Still falling apart.
Roller derby is down to one practice a week again for a while. Sob. Pics coming soon, honest.
Summary: Derby fun. Photographers slow.
I popped into the consignment shop today to try on some jeans. (Yes, it’s true, I shop consignment. I’m sorry if you’re a germaphobe and this freaks you out. I also borrow books from the library and stay in hostels. Bathe me in Purell and burn me at the stake.) One pair fit ok, but when I bothered to check the price tag I saw that they were $145. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR USED JEANS. Sorry, they weren’t $145 worth of ‘ok’. Is that even legal for consignment shops?
That last one wasn’t so much Status Update as it was True Confession.
Summary: I’m unsanitary. Have no new jeans.
So how quo is your status?

That is precisely why I stopped going to consignment stores. When I take in a HUGE bag of nice, designer clothes and they tell me they only want two pieces but won't take them because it's not worth their time because I don't have enough take-worthy pieces? Bullshit. I can only imagine the money they are making off those clothes because I could easily go get a new pair of jeans at frickin Bloomingdales for $145. Omg I will stop now.
I don't even spend $145 on groceries.
sheesh
I nearly spit out my wine (OK, Coke Zero) when I read "My child is 4 years old, and I think he’s going to be a lawyer." My husband says that about our daughter every. single. day.
Bee tee dubya, my friend says her family used to say that about her...and now she's a lawyer. Be prepared.
I'm also a mess, but for different reasons. Hope you start feeling better soon!
$145 Jeans? Used? Eff that. Anyway, re: thyroid. I assume you're thyroid is low? That's what mine is too. Took the doc forever to get the dosage right, but finally my levels are good. My doctor wife was really annoyed at my doctor. She (wife) told me to start taking meds at night instead of morning, because there was some evidence that worked better. Seemed to help. She just went to a conference where they talked about how caffeine and carbs and other things you eat for breakfast happen to be really effective at blocking absorption of thyroid meds. So, yeah...take it at night. Unless your thyroid is high, in which case, don't ever take medical advice from a parentblogger.
I can blog about nothing. Sure, it really readable but I can do it... sometimes.
I am quo so far!! Started work on new painting....winter cold over.....tons of snow....YUCK....weather sucks...life is coo!!
$145 for jeans huh??? Yowzers!! Me I just shop the sales..,mostly on line. Good deals right now.
Hugging you

I have a sore throat. Not just the normal kind either. The kind that even hurts to drink coffee kind of sore throat.
Good news, I am also falling apart. I'm definitely destined for the clearance bin.
My husband is in Seattle till Saturday afternoon - until about an hour before our son's 10th birthday party. Boy sure hope his plane isn't late and I'm not stuck at a bowling alley with 15 ten year olds and a slightly drama queen prone five year old. Boy that would suck.
Sunday he gets on a plane to go spend the week in Phoenix, where it's warm and where he plans to amuse himself after work by stopping by to watch spring training.
He's got such a rough life...
I hope you're feeling better soon and staying that way. Being sick sucks.
145 for unsanitary, used jeans is criminal. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Makes you wonder how much was paid for the jean new! Hope you feel better soon I would send wine but I have a teenager and need all the wine I can get my hands on.
Dude, here I thought I was the only person to shop consignment and be fine with it. A little germs never killed anyone. Tho the raging cold I have right now might beg to differ on that axiom.
omg that's a huge price tag, WTF! :) <---- appropriate in my workplace,home but not on my fb wall. LOL
"Bathe me in Purell and burn me at the stake."
I bet you'd burn faster after bathing in purell. Or maybe just the surface layer? Eww. Shutting up now.
OMG about the jeans! I just can't even.
About the two weeks, I know exactly what you mean. It's that thing we were talking about that time of thinking that you're specially advanced and that when something is supposed to take 5-7 days, for you it will take 4 or 5. Frustrating when it's longer.
We hunger for Derby pics.
xo
That's ridiculous for used jeans. I don't even pay $75 for new ones so definitely not spending it on used ones!
Holy monkey balls, I won't pay $145 for new jeans! Fuck that in the nose! (Also, I'm sorry you're falling apart. Feel better!)
Did you go gluten free? I can send wine! Boy, can I.
Oops, no, can't. Drank it all.
I understand the need for props - hence all those blog carnival thingies I do, like The Spin Cycle. The problem now is that since I'm handing out the prompts, I don't seem to be prompted! Drag.
DUDE! What kind of consignment shop were you at?!?!
Totally get what you're saying about "demanding clients"... I just got a new job and my department is "client servicing"...the scope for double-entendres is limitless...!! Just to clarify.. I'm in advertising!
I love your roller derby thang. It is so awesome. It's totally out of my comfort zone, so I'm completely intrigued by it.
Give the meds some time. I still have hope it will fix everything.
I shop consignment, too-- no biggie.
My son is also 4 (almost 5). Maybe they can open a law firm together.
