Perfect Timing

“Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.” ~Bill Watterson
Since returning from Colorado my sleeping has been way off. Like going to bed between 2 and 3 AM and waking up between 6 and 7 AM. Though blaming it on Colorado isn’t very kind as this has been a trend since well before leaving. Correct me if I am wrong but the last time I had a serious bout of insomnia it was suggested that I give up the evening wine. Which also makes it sound like I have wine every night. I am so fucking tired that until Colorado the drinking had been minimal. And by minimal I mean that I’m pretty sure I’ve forgotten how to use a wine opener. I looked at my complicated Houdini corkscrew and said “Eff this. That’s what my teeth are for.”
So it’s been a long week that has included a three night sleepover at my mother’s house. There’s no reason for it except that I enjoy sleeping in her bed while she’s away. It’s comforting. Mock me if you will but she also has a Heavenly Bed so you’d be sleeping right here with me all snuggled up in the small of my back because this shit is comfortable.
And for once after such a week, the calendar gives me a hand by putting a holiday down for tomorrow.
(I just caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and it looks like I’m packing heat or at least 47 pairs of peep toe flats in the bags under my eyes)
(I look like someone punched me in the face)
(Hey! If you’re looking for me at BlogHer I’ll be the one with tiny slits for eyes. Don’t be alarmed!)
So long weekend? Joy. While I rarely ever do this but then Aimee suggested it the other night and I figured hey! why not! because I apparently have no problem inflicting pain upon others by forcing them to read what I write. Keep in mind that I’ve been to two different cities (I had the world’s most excruciating day trip to DC) on two different coasts in the past week and then perhaps you’ll give me a pat on the back for not writing “Will Smith is still hot. But even hotter as an alcoholic Superhero. The end.” That said my other places for the week are (drumroll): an interview at The Collective, a review of Hancock and a post about why I don’t freelance over at BlogHer. Answer the the last one: Because I’m 99% sure that talent is required and superfluous use of ‘fuck’ is not.
For all of you Americans, have a lovely long weekend. For the rest of you enjoy working tomorrow, suckas.
Kristabella says:
Have a great long weekend!
I realized that no one will ever ask me to freelance because I can’t stop swearing for two seconds.
kat says:
the superfluous use of ‘fuck’ is the best part.
have a great 4th!
Neil says:
Maybe you can find a publication where writing “fuck” is mandatory for the job. Have a great weekend.
Angella says:
I’m thinking that I don’t freelance much becuase I used to many smiley faces and exclamtion points.
Have a great long weekend!
sizzle says:
Those are two good reasons as to why I don’t freelance. I mean, fuck it.
Camels & Chocolate says:
Happy 4th! OR, well, 5th now, I suppose. And I totally get the time change thing. Um, I seem to suffer from that on an ongoing basis.
Aimee Greeblemonkey says:
When Stefania hired me for Savvy Source, she told me, “just be yourself sans the cursing.”
It’s. so. fucking. hard.
