Observations and Musings

Happy holidays, and a belated happy Thanksgiving. Yes, I’m really on top of things, am I not? As I have nothing substantial to post at the moment (I am currently working on a post that will make my boyfriend and my little sister rolls their eyes in unison [and 400 miles apart--what a feat!], but it’s still not ready to launch), I’m going to post a few observations and comments I’ve made over the past few days.

1. Why is that, when the Metro announcement asking commuters to report suspicious behavior begins with “See it, say it–”, I mentally cut in to think “Don’t spray it”? I’m so damn immature, but I have to admit I get a little smirk on my face each time I do that. And considering that I am in three stations two times a day, I smirk a lot.
2. I realize that I technically live in the south (I prefer to think of it as the mid-Atlantic), but the recent weather has been ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not asking for below-freezing temperatures or 10 feet of snow, but a chill in the air is something I’ve come to expect having lived in Michigan for the majority of my life. Even Mexico got colder than this in November, damnit. My boyfriend observed the actually-not-so-incongruous Christmas lights at my building with raised eyebrows, but I did him one better–the Christmas lights went out as I passed by this evening. “I bring death and destruction to Christmas,” I said sweetly. Maybe that’s why it’s been so damn warm.
3. I now make more than twice what I made at this time last year thanks to a healthy pay increase from my splendid job and bosses. Stuff that in your stocking, Dyn-o-mite! Would it be terrible to brag to my Dyn-o-mite! friends about how I’m raking it in? Especially since they’ve been amazingly conceited and self-absorbed lately? Hmm . . .
4. Why am I getting so much spam about Rachel Ray? She’s probably the celebrity that I hate the most (and considering Paris Hilton is running around out there, that’s talent). Now I have to see her name every single time I go to delete my bulk mail. Can’t a girl get rid of spam without having to see that clown smile in her mind’s eye?
5. TGI Friday’s Orange Dream drink kicks all kinds of ass, doesn’t it?  It’s a souped up low-fat sherbet shake and I’m getting two of my essential vitamins (Vitamin C and Vitamin Vodka).  I would like to encourage my siblings to join me in a drink on Christmas Day as long as we can buy the stuff on Christmas Eve (the day I fly into Detroit).

Okay, that’s all I have, my loyal band of .  .  . people . . . who read this.  I will post this weekend, though.  Prepare your eyes, Dorkus and IP!
