well, only 45 minutes to go. countdown to age 30. how come i still feel as clueless as at 22? where's all the levity, wisdom and insight old people jabber on about? its a conspiracy i tell you!
i did already receive the nicest gift...Miss Kristan left a little package-o-love at my door today. a book of crosswords! French crosswords! where she could have found it i have no idea...very thoughtful. and a bag of plastic bottle caps for Ruby to nibble on! our favorites....what a sweetie! thank you.
funny discussion at werk today...about how i have a tendancy to put my foot directly, solidily in my big fat mouth. ask me in person sometime if you haven't already been a witness, or a victim. examples of note:
"Watch out Ruby or he'll eat you!" -in front of cross looking Asian man
"Well, you've packed on a few pounds this year." -to girlfriend commenting on how her shirt didn't fit right
"I need to give him the blow by blow." -to cowerker regarding customer relations
"It's not like you want to marry this loser, right?" -to gal friend, nearly engaged to the guy (in my defense, unbeknownst to me)
"It's not bad, for an ugly lamp" -to boyfriend as he purchased a happy little lamp he still probably has (and likes)
"You can have that removed you know." -don't ask!
i like to think of it as a creative use of language.
