SIDENOTE: it's all about me this week

This my friends and readers, is the WEEK OF ME. It revolves around me (a change from my usually not at all modest ways). I will do great things. Things that do not involve other people's wedding events. I will bring it with my laundry, swap out the summer looks for the fall fashion and try not to cry when stepping on a scale. I will embrace this eye infection spurred by drinking a bottle of wine by myself and sleeping in contacts by rocking my awesome new hipster glasses.  I will also take a moment to sidenote it out ... 

• Last week while celebrating my bestie's board approval for her new digs, I was approached by a short little fellow (very nice) who began to chat it up.  As I sipped a vodka/soda with too much lime, he told me that it's refreshing to meet a girl who could hold a conversation. Awww.  He then proceeded to ask for my number.  As I thought up the ways to go all dyslexic on my digits, I spilled the area code.  He asked where on Long Island I was from and discovered he was from the town over.  He then put his phone away and said it was too close for comfort.  Like, what?  Can't I just give you my fake number and we call it a night?
• Over the weekend I had my first experience with a bachelorette party stripper. I shutter. Ordered him from USAHunk.com. His name was Sergio (if you forgot, it said so on his ass) and he made me and other guests uncomfortable for a solid half an hour.  Imagine cousin on cousin, an abused 20-year-old MOH and scared mother of one.  Good thing the tequila and 80s dance party helped to erase the scarring.
• What do you think the dream interpreter would say about last night's nightmare when I simply forgot I had a wedding to go to and spent the day watching TV instead?
• I find I don't get jealous of the little kiddies in college anymore.  Instead I get jealous of the once-were professionals who smartened up and went to get their higher, higher education.  A savings account, a dorm room and serious assignments.  Like this diagram from my former client who is pursuing a degree in awesome at the prestigious MIT ... and will clearly go on to do great things.

FB Announcement:  "This was our core team's decision tree for the  case ... and frankly, my decision tree on life."

• You know it's time to go home from the office when you've stopped doing any type of assignment and started Googling your own name.  I mean, at least that's what people have told me.

and so I'm headed home.
