Vacation's over :(

This is when I pout. But, I had a very fun time off, including, but not limited to:
  • sleeping in several times. It was glorious!
  • birthday celebrations lasting until yesterday. Thanks to my fabulous friends for taking me out, and for all the birthday wishes!
  • NOT WORKING
  • beginning the packing process for my impending move (good, because it makes me feel like a self-starter. Bad, because it means I have to actually move the crap later).
  • brushing up on my b-ball skills, and watching LL in action (muy fabuloso) :)
  • re-watching "In Bruges," and discovering "Boondock Saints" *sigh*
  • finally getting a multitude of drugs to try to battle my allergies and the associated sinus headaches. Drug me up, baby. And, man, are they working...
  • wasting time making databases for pro/cons lists, memoirs, et al. Gosh, I really am a freaking nerd.
  • fun trip to Houston to discover that, hey, I don't hate it! Who knew?
  • the randomness of not gaining any weight, and in fact being back to my pre-holiday weight. And, the promise that upon moving in with mom & Bob, my a** will invariably, and rather quickly, shrink. Woot!
  • getting a hot date to my sister's wedding. I would prefer the nosy guests be like, "wow, Maigen's got a really cute and fabulous date," instead of, "oh, poor Maigen. Her younger sister is getting married. Old maid." Umm, yeah, that's not happening. (PS: used the same tactic at Meredith's wedding, and it was rather successful. I feel that only my severe case of food poisoning held me back from being the belle of that ball.)
  • hung out with Walter and Jojo a lot. Those puppies rock!
  • unfortunately saw "Step-Brothers." What a waste of time, not to mention the little part of my soul that died while watching it. Just the worst. Top 5 worst movies ever contender.
  • saw "The Reader," which was interesting. Also, a bit like soft porn at times. That could be good or bad depending on your taste for soft porn. I was pretty uncomfortable, but other than the nudity, it was a very good story. And, of course, the acting was impeccable. Not sure I can recommend it, though. It was pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty heavy on the sex.

Well, tomorrow is work. Oh, man. It's all good, though. I like my job, remember? (I'll just say it over and over to try to remind myself... or to make myself believe it...) No, really. It could be LOTS worse. I actually do like it. And, I only have to work four days this week. I can live through four days of anything. Plus, in the middle will be my writer's group and "gangster movie night" with LL. Yeah, good times.

Four. Four days until my day off. And counting... (I sound like The Count from Sesame Street again...)

I'm assuming "LL" isn't Lindsey Lohan - but that was the only "LL" I could think of offhand.

You forgot to include the "ah ah ah" after counting like the Count. Have fun moving. Icky.

Nope, it's LL, like "LL Cool J." It's a guy. Not Lindsey Lohan.
