outdated post with free updates
i just spent an enjoyable 4 minutes listening to adam lambert's first post-idol single. it's a real screamfest. oh, i just love when theatre-trained voices come scampering into the pop world. it's a real joy.
so, where am i today? GREAT question, so glad you asked. i'm sitting in san francisco international aiport (SFO...yes, that's right, i walk around quoting airports by their 3 letter code. go on. quiz me.) drinking a large bottle of water and watching the yankees squander away their lead.
i've been in san francisco since monday for work. it was actually kind of nice to be in one city for 4 days. it's just a shame that it wasn't chicago. you know, where my BED is. i was trying very hard to verbalize it today, but it's the little things that totally throw off my routing when i'm traveling. i'm not sleeping in my bed, using my shampoo, eating my snacks, sitting at my table, watching my tv ... all of these little things make living just a little bit harder.
so, where am i off to? also an excellent question. red eye to new york city.
but wait. weren't you just in new york city LAST weekend?
yes. yes i was. it was a case of extremely poor planning.
see, on friday, ragtime the musical is re-opening on broadway. it is my favorite musical, so naturally i bought tickets for the first preview performance. then, i booked one of my frequent flier flights to see the show. then i got the wedding invitation. so, i booked another frequent flier flight to go to the wedding last weekend. and then my work schedule got layered on top and low and behold, it included a 4 day trip to san francisco.
sometimes i wonder WHY I BOTHER!?
anyway, i really wish that i was horizontal right now, but alas, i'll be upright until i'm on the eastern seaboard. i really wish that i could learn how to sleep on planes. it would make things so much easier.
BUT. at least i am flying jetblue, the airline of my dreams. so, i'll have plenty of legroom and i can watch HGTV to distract me and lull my into a swarm of domestic happiness.
i've been eating like crap this last week. mostly because i was too lazy to find healthy food. i dare you to find something healthy at a free breakfast buffet at a hotel. sausage, hashbrowns and scrambled eggs that look like they have SEEN BETTER DAYS. yeah, you'd eat the bagel too.
but the good news is that i am not traveling anywhere next week, so i am going to drink water and eat fruit and yogurt and go to the gym. and call it a day. well, until i'm back on a plane again to east jahunga. whenever that is. which is probably like, next week.
i'm delirious. have you noticed?
well, at least all of this quality time in airports allows me to catch up on viral videos.
non-sequitur: has anyone noticed that jeter and a-rod kind of look like they are related?
continuing on. oooh, top of the 9th, bases loaded, 2 outs and the yanks are 1 run behind. this is a clutch situation. i hate sports.
oh. i remember what i wanted to talk about. did you catch the episode of 'say yes to the dress' on tlc a couple of weeks ago? there was a girl on there who had lost over 100 lbs and she was shopping for a wedding dress. the girl was DROP DEAD gorgeous and of course the production team had to unearth the photos of her when she was a chubster. she was your stereotypical ugly girl. unfortunate hair, bad choice of clothes and chipmunk cheeks. combine growing up with losing weight and she was a certifiable hottie. i felt so bad for her because her mom couldn't go dress shopping with her and it was OBVIOUS that the girl needed her mom there because her useless girlfriends were so not supportive enough in that extreme of a situation. but, kudos to her bridal consultant because she was doing a pretty good job of keeping the girl in good spirits.
ok, i think that is all i have to say now. the yankees just lost. i still have an hour and change until my flight leaves so i need to distract myself with other things now.

right, so i'm actually sitting in jfk airport on a flight back to chicago. shocking, i know. i am going to spend the ENTIRE WEEK in chicago. no traveling. BLESS MY HEART.
on monday i have to pack up my desk in the chicago office. apparently they are making some moves on our floor and they were going to have me move to another cube. but i was like, why should i pack up and move twice if i'm going to be gone soon anyway. so, i'm just going to pack up my stuff and ship it to the new office. most of it is files and stuff that i don't really use on a daily basis anyway, so i should be fine.
i had an excellent weekend in new york city, except for all of the bacon that i ate. but since i'm going to be home this whole week i'm going to buy some healthy groceries and i'll be able to get to the gym. this makes me happy.
and now you're up to date.
