monday:
i watch some tv, really nothing else happens.

tuesday:
on the drive in to work i start my morning by hitting a rabbit. are you effing kidding me?!? after work i meet D for lunch.

both D and D. J. ask me if i’ve talked to lisa lately. i tell them that i called her two weeks ago and left a message, she called me last week and left a message, and i need to call her again. after getting home from lunch i pick up my phone to call her, and it rings. it’s lisa, too freaky. “hi i was calling to see if you wanted to do a movie tonight, but now i can’t go.” she says. “i guess then no?” i say. she’s seriously craving some luigi’s and we make plans to hit the restaurant next week.

meanwhile, back to lunch. D calls me at least 100 times while i'm attempting to get all of my work done and get out of the building. i learn that it’s raining, that she has arrived, that she can’t get in, that she is walking to the front of the building and that she has found us a table. i crack up when i get to the table and find a pitcher of tea waiting for me. we used to hit the place every monday for lunch and the waiter always brought me a pitcher as a joke so he wouldn't have to make so many trips filling up my glass. "well, you know where the bathroom is right?" the waitress asks me after i've finished the pitcher over the course of the hour. i tell her i felt like i had to drink it because i didn't want to waste any of it. i'm not sure if she buys any of that.

later in the evening i get around to one of my netflix picks, come early morning. while i don’t hate it, i don’t exactly love it. the fact that it was written and directed by joey lauren adams and starred ashley judd had me hoping for a bit more. even as a drunk, bar brawlin’ mess ashley judd is so beautiful to watch, but i dunno. i attempt to start shortbus, and while it is entertaining and unlike anything i’ve ever seen before, outside of porn that is, i’m way too sleepy to make it all the way through.

wednesday:
i think this is the first wednesday in quite a while that i haven’t gone shopping. i must have gotten all of it out of my system. i’m contemplating a new pair of flip-flops, but outside of that i think i’m pretty much set for spring and summer. i do swing by the bank to make a deposit. the teller lady informs me that i write a lot of checks and i should consider switching to some other account type thing. i’m pretty sure that two checks a month isn’t what one would consider a lot. and the fact that it’s been close to three years since i last ordered checks leaves me a bit confused. i tell my mother that the crazy bitch is always trying to talk me into stuff when she waits on me. after that i take my mother to the dollar theater to check out because i said so. this was what my mom wanted to see when my sister was in town for our birthdays, but since it snowed a lot we opted to just stay indoors. normally i love diane keaton, but her character was a bit unhinged and screechy this time around. and i could sit and watch lauren graham talk for three hours, but she was in the movie all of three minutes. however the chemistry between mandy moore and gabriel macht, and their storyline was enough to make up for all that was wrong with this movie. while it seemed a bit, “been there, done that” at times i found it enjoyable enough. and hey, it only cost me two dollars.

thursday:
the world stops for one hour every thursday when i catch the previous night’s Lost episode on the DVR. boo, it’s all about paulo and nikki. wow, she really is a sucky actress, no wonder she was just hovering in the background since her introduction. yikes, they’re not really dead and are being buried alive carly manning style circa days of our lives mid-nineties. ouch, what a way to bite it. tuesday ms. k had a mini-meltdown and left me a tear-filled voicemail. i thought of a response all day wednesday while i was out and about. i didn’t want things to unhinge the way they did two years ago, so i spent a lot of time trying to find just the right words. i think that i was more in shock that this time i was the sane one who was reassuring the other friend. i was proud of my letter and fired it off to her. i quickly heard back from her, no harm is done in any of what i said, and we seem to be on a happier, healthier track this time around. G texts me and we spend the better part of an hour texting back and forth. i realize that while an actual conversation would be much simpler, texting is way more fun.

friday:
katie hooks me up hardcore and gets me some pretty amazing seats to see patty griffin in columbus. granted, i don’t have all the logistics worked out, and the tickets were $80, but i have my tickets. i try not to think about it too much for fear that i’ll burst into tears over the anticipated excitement. if she sings forgiveness or christina, i will die on the spot and have to be carted back home in the back of my car for a proper burial. i attempt to catch up on jericho, the return of six degrees, and some old episodes of the king of queens. i have tacos, i grow tired, i head to bed.

saturday:
with the ever ongoing “great cleanup project of 2007” still underway, i acquire a book shelf from work. the attempt to shove it into the back of the blazer goes much more smoothly than my last effort and i head for home. really, at this point, things are getting all sandford & son all up in here. with some minor cleaning the little wooden book case looks close to new, and is fairly easy to manage out of the car and into the abode. score. later after some delicious thin crust pizza i decide to play with my phone a bit. when i first picked it up in november, and several months following, very few ryan adams songs were available as ringtones. la cienega, just the greatest song ever, wasn’t an option. neither was the acceptable second choice of so alive. however, much to my surprise, on this very day, both were available. you have no idea how much joy this brings to my life. well, maybe you do, but i seriously doubt it. i used one of my three remaining credits and added a new ringtone. happy happy day. in looking for free videos on demand i discover some old school *nsync, i want you back i forgot they had a very specific dance to this song. i’m not gonna lie, some of it was a little gay. i wonder why my career as a boy band member never took off? D texts me from pennsylvania, pennsylvania? to tell me that she just bought me something. the anticipation is so palpable i can barely stand it. i wonder what it is, she rocks at picking out gifts.
