Pet Peeve!

Let me preface this by saying that I love Uggs as much as the next girl (I know some of you out there despise them and see them only as another hideous fashion trend, but bear with me here). I love how they keep my feet toasty warm and I have a serious appreciation of their soft cushy-ness.

However, it pisses me off to no end when I see women on the street in Uggs DRAGGING THEIR FEET! For some reason, this phenomenon seems unique to the Ugg. People don’t usually drag their feet in heels or sneakers. But for some reason, once the Uggs appear, I am forced to endure the loud scuffing noises that seem to follow me everywhere.

Can anyone explain why this happens? Does this bother anyone else?

TGIF!

This week has been so long! Today was a pretty awesome day though. I got several very generous gifts from parents in my class (so sweet!). I really have the best class ever.

I got to bake sugar cookies! Have I mentioned that I love to bake? They aren’t done yet, but I will let you all know how they turn out! I am most excited to decorate them. I will be experimenting with a royal icing recipe…we’ll see how this turns out!

I have a confesssion. I was talking to a friend a couple days ago and she convinced me to sign up for JDate (essentially match.com for Jews) because a lot of her friends have had success. I am very turned off by internet dating (or at least I thought) because I like the idea of meeting people because our paths crossed at the right time.  This may be a huge waste of $37 (for one month) but today alone I had 7 messages and someone added me to their “Hot List.” This all sounds so lame, I know. But really, my expectations are not high. I just want to gain some dating experience and confidence so that I will feel more comfortable when I start dating for real. Does that make sense?

How do you all feel about internet dating?

Random Thoughts

I know, it’s been forever. And I’m cheating by doing bullet points, but really, it’s just one of those days.
• I applied to graduate school a month and a half ago! I wish I knew when they were making their decisions. Classes start in January, so it’s not exactly urgent, but I like to make plans in advance and it would be nice to know. Seriously.
• What is with the rain in December? What ever happened to snow? I realize snow is not as fun in the city as elsewhere, but I still love it and I’m feeling very Christmas-y. But this whole freezing cold rain? It’s just NOT doing it for me.
• This week is my official start of going to the gym regularly. For real this time. I went on Tuesday and I am going again today and this weekend. I figure once I actually start going, it will be easier to keep up with it. At least that is what I tell myself.
• This weekend I WILL attempt to be social. Last weekend I was away and before that was Thanksgiving so I feel like I haven’t seen anyone I am not related to in FOREVER. This needs to change soon. For the sake of my social life and my sanity.

Also, I am thinking of redesigning/reorganizing my blog. But I am completely hopeless when it comes to most thing technological. Any suggestions?

Sick

So the cold that has been traveling among the members of my family has finally decided to torture me. Of course I don’t have any sick days yet at work (and even if I did, I probably wouldn’t take one…damn you, work ethic).  So for the moment I will just sit in my sweatpants curled up with my tea, go to bed crazy early, and hope it all goes away.

Admittedly, I was feeling kind of down in the dumps even before this unfortunate sickness. This could have something to do with the crazy dreams I have been haunted by, including, but not limited to one where I am sitting next to the Bitch (I really need a better name for her) in the library at college. We start talking, I print my essay from her computer (because we were so close and chummy?), and I start telling her all the reasons why she shouldn’t be going for my (ex) boyfriend. Clearly my subconscious is telling me that I am not over all of this yet.

I really need to do a post (or a few) where I explain everything that happened. It would probably make everything a lot clearer. But not until I get over this silly cold.

Just a Few Things

Quick update here.

Tomorrow will be two weeks of NO contact whatsoever. I am very proud of myself for not caving.

Last night, I went out with my cousin and we got hit on by a FELON. Yes, after introducing himself as Jason, the next tidbit that he decided to share with us was that he had just gotten out of jail after FOUR years for robbery. He even showed us his parol ID and explained that he just needed to be “honest” about who he is. Clearly, a real winner. He then proceeded to whisper extremely dirty and disgusting things in my ear before we told him to leave us alone.

I’m getting a haircut in a couple hours and I’m considering getting bangs. Thoughts?

Confessions of a Shopoholic

I like shopping. A lot.

I am usually able to keep my shopping impulses under control because I have been a college student and had limited funds. Now that I have graduated, and I’m making some money (though not a lot by any means…I still don’t have a real job) I can’t seem to help myself.

With so much free time on my hands, I have been occupying myself by perusing stores across Manhattan and looking for great deals online. I currently have a bid on designer jeans on e-bay. Because I am living at home, and therefore have few expenses, this may not seem like a huge problem, especially since I always look for a good bargain.

However, even bargains add up. And I don’t have real job. And I’m supposed to be saving money to move out from my parents’ apartment.

Make it stop!

I’m Baaaack!

I returned from Alaska this morning. And our flight left last night. And I don’t sleep well on planes-even in first class.

So I will have to give a more detailed update later, after some much needed sleep. Maybe I will even include some pictures (if the geniuses at the Apple store can figure out how to rescue my hard drive). However, I will say, this vacation was more amazing than I expected. Alaska is a truly amazing place.

And home to our potential future VP? Didn’t see that one coming…

Girl’s Night

I really needed this. Tonight I went out with my friend Audrey. We went to a classic Upper West Side bar which was fun and very desperately needed. I was hoping to maybe flirt with some cute guys (let’s face it, I need some male attention), but she is taken so we just hung out, which was nice as well. I got a tad too drunk, but I’m going through a tough time, so clearly, it’s acceptable. Plus we went during happy hour, so the whole bar was half off (!!!).

We also went to see our friend Emily’s new apartment which was really nice. I’m jealous. I’m craving some independence.

This point didn’t really have a point except to say that I am nicely tipsy and I enjoyed some much needed girl time.

Also, I have gone 2 days without communicating with the Ex at all. It’s rough.
