i'm a posting fool, because i dislike my job

ziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

i hate feeling behind. which is how i feel. immensely. stressfully.

schedule:

• do bulletin board discussion for class at work. get out of work.
• go to petsmart and jo-ann for fabric and catnip. staples/office depot for organizational supplies.
• pick up anthony.
• drive by marshall ctr for a free student organizational calendar. (can you sense a theme here?)
• go home. make catnip toys like crazy. anticipate feline orgy at home.
  
• saturday. will want to sleep in, but will instead meet w/ GFSS for stride for strays. sell items and drink coffee or tea. ooh! pack a picnic! mimosas? sneaky.
• organize classwork and maybe even finish some.
• have mulled wine party, possibly with pumpkin defacement and mutilation. i need warm spiced wine.
  
• sunday. SLEEP IN. awake groggy, yet refreshed.
• get classwork done(ish), maybe make 2 bags. yea. 2 bags. that's not so bad.
  

things i learned in chicago:

• i need new shoes
• sometimes, boys are cleaner than girls
• cigarette wrappers can be used for those other than tobacco*
• rats really do live in sewers
• people in the mid-west are really nice. like, really, really, inhumanly nice.
• the majority of my clothing consists of solid colors (hence, i oft appeared as though a rainbow had thrown up on me)
• i lick the top corners of my lips a lot
• i'm addicted to burt's bees beeswax sticks
• chicago is cooler than tampa (temperaturally and fun-wise)
• faith in humanity +60 - because andy had only met us briefly maybe twice and didn't know us that well at all and we got a key to his apt! and dug drove his car in chicago.

* this one is a joke; really, i'm not that naive. really.

and i got to see wait, wait! don't tell me taped live in sarasota! listen on saturday to hear me & ant clapping. yen & mike also took us out to have some thai and afterwards we went to a little gelato shop and had ice cream and pastries. lovely AND delicious!

things i learned in sarasota:

• after the show, they re-record parts that got muddled or weren't clear
• old people sometimes wear a TON of cologne
• sarasota has a lot of old peoplecarson cooper looks *nothing* like i thought he would
• apparently, it's 8 degrees in chicago (w/ wind chill) - wtf?
• one of yen's cats is as big as thomas
• i need to make a lightbox like yen's
• watching is more fun, but listening at home is easier to hear
