so it's QUARTER to one. i'm sitting here withe the weight of a presentation lifted from my shoulders!
well, that's what i SHOULD be saying! damnit! one group presented today for 45 minutes. that's including the teachers commentary and the morons inability to work the laptop.
so at least the paper is written and the powerpoint crap is done, so i CAN relax. i just still have to do the presentation. annoying.
so it's HOT today and i'm loving it! even though i'm in the freakin basement. at the computer. no where near fresh air. but that's alright.
bah screw this crap i'm gonna upload some pictures and then i'm off.
ta!
today: 80 and dee-lish!
i hear: Aesop Rock
this origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket now settle down.

ok so i've been working for about ONE HOUR AND TWO MINUTES.
i currently have three pages covering 3/4 of my research COMPLETE!
yay!
Carl is down here watching the lord of the rings, which is sure to be a distraction. but i'll manage.
my legs are numb.
so the aim here is to be finished by 11:30 but i'll be happy with 11:45. as long as i'm not in this basement, sitting in front of this computer at midnight.
cause i just don't have the patience.
back to work!

attentin deficit hyperac... what?
it is 9:44.
your narrator arived home from work at approximately 7:00. what has she been doing for the last two hours and 45 minutes? SHE COULDN'T TELL YOU. honestly.
i went to my sisters to borrow a few of her child psych books and we looked up some stuff ( thanks D! ) and then i came back, looked thru my research, outlined it and here i am.
so.
i planon keeping a little "ADHD Paper-Writing Log"
i always feel so lonely and cut off from the rest of the world when i am stuck writing papers. it helps to feel like i have some company.
so i will be checking in periodically and letting you - all of my faithful readers - take an un-censored glimpse into what it's like to be me, writing a paper.
scintillating isn't it!
well. i estimate a total of one and one half hours before i am done.
it's 9:52. GO!

ooh it's so good.
what you've lost and what you've given away are two different things.
it's about 4:07
nope, :08
and i've just finished my powerpoint presentation for child SIKE!
i mean... psych.
so now that the powerpoint crap is done, all i have to do is write the paper and that will be a BREEZE.
and i have work tomorrow at deux so i can spit that out before then. AND i'm free tomorrow night so i can finish it up after work too.
but tonight, TONIGHT my friends, is a tommy night.
we're gonna exchange steak. after dinner.
::cough::
anyway. my hands are hot. from this damned wacom tablet and all this typing i've been doing.
powerpoint knocked my computer on it's ass about 5 times while i was trying to get my shit done. that's part of the reason it took me 4 hours to do it. also because i was searching for pictures of little kids being goofy so i could include them in the presentation. i got some great ones of kids from like, the 70's making goofy faces and being bad. it's an ADHD paper so they fit right in.
BAH!
so on friday i thought, man, stuff sucks. and then saturday i was in a pretty foul mood - until i saw my niece and nephew. i walked in the house from what might have been the longest day of the flower station EVER, and gianna ran to me and hugged me and i melted. bad mood gone, instantly.
babies, man. what an effect.
so now i'm like, problems? what problems?
i am currently enrolled at FIT for the summer program. art in NY and painting will be mine! i will defeat them! like i defeat all my other classes.
so i went to register last wednesday and i got all nostalgic. i kinda miss the city - that cesspool that it is.
i was all done with my stuff - meeting with the registrar, registering and paying tuition and i thought, gee i don't wanna leave, i kinda like being back. ::sigh::
so that's good. cause if i were still in my hating manhattan phase, i'd really be dreading summer classes. but they only go for a month. then in the fall i'm done. one more art history, and a philosophy class - at FIT one day per week. couldn't be easier.
4:22 and i have about 1 hour before i have to leave for class. 2 1/2 more weeks, 5 of each class, and my ass is waving goodbye to county college.
i have only been there for one semester and i despise it. but it was better than commuting to FIT for the winter months.
i ordered a bikini from VS online and the bitches still haven't sent me the top. it was on backorder for a while. and here i sit, awaiting it's arrival. i couldn't be more eager for summer and bathing suit rights.
let's hear it for allergies! i've bee sniffling and waking up with a sore throat for two weeks already. my nose is all dry and i'm kleenex's #1 customer.
but anyway, i'm excited about a summer with tommy :)
mmm frisbee! and picnics! and park time! and nap time! and beach! and swimming! and trips! and oh my, what fun.
and summer at the flower station means my quaint job as a florist will finally be quaint again.
mmm erin's happy.
off to class!
weather: 75 and sunny!

you do, you do, you do.
i am having this problem right now where my feet feel nice and warm, but my hands are cold. and clammy.
gross.
anyway it is 11:23. in about 7 minutes i will get up and take a shower. that way i have exactly one hour to get ready and leave for work. i always do that - give myself one hour thinking it's enough.
it's not.
i think the reason i keep trying, though, is because one hour should be more than enough, so i have to figure out what i'm doing wrong. maybe when i get in the shower, i shouldn't just stand there for 7 minutes, with my face in the water, staring at the wall - daydreaming.
hm.
i will cut that out today and see how it goes.
why did i bother posting right now?
i already have to go.
weather: sunny (yay!) 53 degrees (boo!!)
saturday night - summer's here.
under clothes hands disappear.
buttons slip - they've gone stray.
with them thoughts have gone away -
too far to see from the back seat
where sleeping is the enemy.

whoopsie daisy
i kinda crapped out on that last post.
i got really bored out of nowhere and i left.
so where was i?
well let's start from the begining
once upon april 5th, an erin brought a tommy to hoboken to see two spectacular musical performances.
ahem. yeah so i brought tommy to see decibully and owen on tuesday. it was a surprise and i'm not that great with surprises so i was pretty excited when i was able to hide who it was that we were actually seeing until owen was on stage. and he said hey! thats owen! and his eyes lit up! and he loved it! and that's JUST what i was going for! but then the decibully surprise was ruined when he announced they were next. but that's alright - i was expecting that.
so i burned "sing out america" from tom a few weeks ago and i've listened to it and enjoyed it but seeing them live was an entirely different story. there are very few bands who's performances i'm blown away by and decibully is up there with them. i've really only raved about two shows - when i saw Before Braille and Cursive. the point is, if you like them even a tiny bit, and you have the chance to see them, GO. you'll LOVE them after.
so that was a great day. the weather was awesome so that made it even better. i got yet another "frank rizzo" comment from the nerd at the door - so now i can chalk that list up to a nice round 4,268 times that i've heard it - or some variation thereof. but i guess it comes with the territory of having that last name. the best i've ever heard was when i booked 5 tickets for the upright citizens brigade and the guy taking my reservations on the phone said "rizzo? for 5? what, are you bringing the rest of the pink ladies with you?" HA. funny, but i really don't appreciate the Grease remarks. that movie should be wiped from existence. i will not tolerate the association!
so. that brings us to wednesday.
i went to class in the morning, came home and watched the G monster for about two hours. dina came to pick her up and before they even left i was passed out, asleep on the living room couch. i was completely wiped out. i'd only grossed about 7 hours sleep in the two preceeding nights. so i slept till around 3ish, showered and went to italian class. went to tommy's after. we thought "hey it's really nice outside, let's go to the beach for a bit, and then go to the inkwell." right. the beach. i think we stood there for a total of 2 minutes before we decided it was not too bright of an idea since we were both pretty cold. (me more than tommy) so we just went to the inkwell.
and that was wednesday.
next up: thursday
thursday was lovely :) i woke up at a pretty decent time. surprisingly since there's no one around to wake me up lately. i had all these big plans to get my oil changed, go pay some bills, go to the food store and bring my car in to see what the screaming noise was from. and i planned to do this all before tom came over. BAH! instead i cleaned the house and got ready and by the time i was done it was 2:30 and tom was already over from his interview. so i already wrote about this yesterday. oil change, mall, auto place, and then cheesecake factory. yum. me and food, man, we're like this X and that meas tight. food and i have a strong bond. anyway. then we came home, laid around, listened to some music and watched freaks and geeks for the rest of the night. during which - surprise! i fell asleep! go figure.
FRIDAY. F-R-I-D-A-Y FRIDAY
tommy's first day at verizon. and he didn't like it all that much, but baby i swear you'd hate vonage WAY more!!!
anyway. i worked yesterday from 9-3. it was a pretty painless shift for the most part. tommy got out at 6:30 so i went over around 7:30. we went to the court jesterd for dinner, during which i got really ansy (sp?) and crampy (you know you wanted to hear it!) so when we got back i popped two alieve and we settled back for some more freaks and geeks. i am quite sad because we are coming to the end of the season. only 2 more episodes to watch. boooo.
and now here i am on saturday. thanks to my co-worker Amy, i have this lovely afternoon off. thank you amy!
so it's 4:49 and i'm showered but not primped. dressed but not presentable. what has your dear narrator done for the bulk of her day? cleaned her room. that's right. like a 10 year old. i've been stuck cleaning my room since 12. i had buttloads of laundry to do, and shit to get rid of and put away. so i've done it. pretty much. i switched out my summer clothes and packed away my sweaters and cold-weather clothes because i'm sick of looking at them. so this involved emptying out my drawers and trying to organize. took me forever. separate laundry, organize shoes, vaccuum, dust, wash sheets, replace sheets, purge and purify the sleeping space!!!
and i want to vomit knowing how nice it is outside since i've been inside all day. called freedman auto. they drove and drove and drove my car (so they say) and they heard nothing. yeah well. so they closed about two hours ago so i have to go pick up the ol saturnbaby when tommy gets here cause i have no one else to bring me. he doesn't know this yet.
and what will we do tonight?! the suspense is killing me! if tom doesn't protest to it, i have to get to the food store since i haven't been yet.
hot date at the super stop and shop. steamy. can you handle it? hehe.
4:57 and i still look like a truck ran over and backed over my face so i need to get to that.
i think today will start a weather log.
the weather and i have had this ongoing war since i can remember.
i've been threatening to move out of this area if it doesn't shape up.
today: 65 and sunny.
and now i'm off.
ta!

Oh God, that noise!
it just came to my attention that i really hate that noise my computer makes when it's loading a page. it's this crackly "wheels turning" no specific rhythm kinda sound. and it drives me insane.
yee yee yeee yeeeeeeee YE
yee yee yeeeeeee ye yee yeeee YE
yeee yeeee yeee yeee yeeeeee ye ye YE
kinda like that.
so anyway.
i haven't posted in a while.
wait.
i think all my posts begin like that.
i've just posted some pictures that are long overdue.
three pictures of the babies on easter, and bunch from the last Fire Still Burns show.
lets see, what to update.
yesterday was a tommy and erin DAY.
like, daylight hours were had and spent.
tommy came over after his interview at vonage, (BLECH!) ;)
then he, so graciously, came with me to get my oil changed and to the mall to pay a bill... and to shop. which i should't have done. and since he's so great, he didn't complain about my ongoing pants search which was fruitless, or my endless "fat ass" complaints.
here i'll prove it to you:
there you go.
so now that you're blind, you can no longer read my blog. so i can say anything i want now!
like, i probably don't like you.
annnnd... you smell.
hm.
soooooo hey look! a baby!
and another one!
yee yee yeee yeeeeeeee YE
yee yee yeeeeeee ye yee yeeee YE
yeee yeeee yeee yeee yeeeeee ye ye YE
kinda like that.
