My thoughts on Islands of Adventure
I’m really, really glad David woke my ass up at 6am to get to the park when it opened, because we waited for about a total of five minutes to ride Forbidden Journey (the one inside Hogwarts), and later there were waits of one and two hours. If they offer a “single rider” opportunity, take it, because you don’t see the other people you’re riding with anyway, and you...

"Yay! Your father isn't in it!"
David’s mom, upon opening a framed photo of her, David, and David’s brother from the wedding
asweetbeginning asked: i just looked at your wedding photos - you look amazing and the wedding was gorgeous! also wanted to tell you how much i love the cake and groom's cake :)
Also
I noticed the “themselfs” discrepancy and commented as such.
Rather be fat than a goddamn idiot.

This morning
I woke up to the sound of my mother sobbing incoherently into the phone.
I got up at (what I thought was) 7:15 and was getting ready like normal. After I got out of the shower, David got out of bed to answer his phone. It was my mom and she was hysterical and wondering where I was.
The clock on his phone read 9:06.
Fuck.
The power had gone out and my alarm clock had trolled the fuck out of...
My mom got me some of those hair ties that double...
She knows my life.

More pet addictions

Oh and bread.
Oliver also loves bread. We can’t leave it out on the counter because he will chew through the plastic to get to the damn bread. And when we start making sandwiches, deli meat makes him go CRAZY. If we gave him a ham and gift bow sandwich he would be the happiest damn cat alive.

Another post for the bored
I can’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned this on here but if so, sorry.
My cat, Oliver, has the odd habit of being really fucking obsessed with bows. Like, the kind you put on presents. We don’t have a tree this year (yay laziness!) but in years past, we had to forcibly remove him from under the tree because he would sit there and LICK all the bows on all the presents until we...
I think what I'm going to start doing
is keep a pair of scissors on my desk at all times, and then when people walk in my office I grab the scissors and hold them up and say, “Yes?”
I think my requests for favors will decrease greatly.
And I just got a text from a friend that said
“Wow [drunk guy] is the star of your wedding pics!”

Talk about jinxing yourself.
Just the other day I was saying that I thought I’d transition smoothly into writing 2012 on everything instead of 2011 because I’d been writing 2012 on a lot of our marketing stuff for the upcoming semester.
Today, I printed four huge sheets of paper with our semester start date (to be velcroed onto a big banner) and laminated them, then immediately after turning off the laminator, I...

Congratulations, girl who constantly tormented me...
you are the second person I have not re-followed on Pinterest out of spite.
Anonymous asked: Hi I'm Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color? Something I feel like everyone should know is elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup. What are your four main food groups? I just found out that my father is on the naughty list. Please tell me you're on the Nice list! I can't take anymore bad news like that. Some of my...

My least favorite job duty is, without a doubt,...
Never mind the fact that everyone calls me “picture lady” (why. why must you do that), I never get to enjoy any of the shitty parties or banquets or luncheons we have because I always have to schmooze and photograph people. I hate schmoozing. And I especially hate being forced to socialize with people I can barely tolerate.
CAN WE LET ONE THING GO UNDOCUMENTED? CHRIST

I have this weird thing with paper napkins.
If I’m not meticulously folding them (people who go out to eat with me tend to find this a bit bizarre), I’m clutching them in my balled-up fists out of nervous habit.
Seems contradictory, but I blame the folding on some residual OCD habits from childhood, and the clutching is apparently hereditary. My Granny used to always have a tissue balled up in her fists. It makes me smile when...
I feel the sickness coming on.
Also, it’s the week of Christmas and the rampant screaming about Jesus and homophobia is in full force here in the South.
Me today:
Talking about our upcoming trip to New Orleans
David: Jason is trying to book us a room in the Garden District.
Me: What's the Garden District like?
David: I don't know. Why don't you Google it.
Me: I BET THERE'S, LIKE, PLANTS & SHIT THERE
David: I BET THERE ARE!
