SIDENOTE: TGIFU

On Tuesday I bid farewell to a coworker at the end of the work day with "Have a good weekend." Clearly confused, I set myself up for a ridiculously long week ahead...

This morning, while sleeping with the covers half off, I was awoken by three men swinging outside my window, drilling into the side of my building and shaking my studio apartment.  I'm certain these mo-fos were also staring into the slots of my blinds. This would set me off into a series of "I hate you so much right now" moments throughout my "TGIFU" Friday (you like that? just made it up. I know, right?).  So TGIF U to the woman who cut me off to get onto the train before letting the man off.  Or the smelly man in the Chase bank that caused a traffic jam.  

F yea to the fact that a certain network is filming a pilot in our office with some studly men and extras on Monday.  I have already created a starring role for myself alongside my coworker and added "be an extra  star in a show" to my 30 before 30 list.  


On the walk to lunch today a coworkerstar who wishes to remain on the DL until our publicist agrees to the media (oh hey, @renae_caugz) was distracted because she couldn't decide if she had just seen a man in a skirt ... or a woman with a goatee.


My eye doctor office called me to say I couldn't be late to my appointment or they wouldn't be able to see me (no pun intended).  Right.  So the punctual office that keeps me waiting 45 minutes in their lobby? Yea. TGIFU.

SIDENOTE: #factoflife

Hey. What's up?  Yep, still here.  Fact of life #1, I've been mentally writing a blog the past few weeks. But without much time to think or do anything for myself lately ... I'll lay this randomness on you.


A friend forwarded an email calling for single 25-30 year olds looking for love or marriage. And I quote, "The only requirements at this point are you must really be looking for love and marriage, be willing to share that with the world, and have a big personality."  When someone sent through a "cough. HMOH. cough," I sent through a response that I would likely date a guy for the whole season, have him tell me at the end when he's down on his knee that he's not really looking for a serious relationship ... and then leave with a blonde girl he's been secretly talking to the whole time.  I prefer such tragedy in the comfort of my own home.  #factoflife


Some additional HMOH recent finds, inspirations and sidenotes to get yourselves into ...


The perfect pick-up line, yes?:

Writing a bridesmaid speech for your oldest friend is hard work (almost as much as trying to fit into your dress after a summer full of eating and drinking).  Twenty three years in the making makes for a lot of material to get through.  I started the task on a bus ride to Boston and still need a solid few weeks to tweak and make PERFECT.  Same goes for the bridesmaid in the bridesmaid dress. #factoflife


Last evening I dined at SOHO's Cafe Noir. Fantastic. Got the octopus salad.  Went to order it with the waitress and saw it was called the "Octopussy Salad".  Come on now. 


Book I'm Currently Reading:  Tina Fey's Bossy Pants. Amazeballs.  LOLFTPSLBS (Laugh out loud funny to the point of strangers on bus staring).  Also proof that girls are hilarious. Some of them. Specifically, Tina Fey and me. #fact. 


Shows I'm Currently Tuned Into:  Boardwalk Empire (nothing like a little Prohibition after a weekend of drinking), Pan Am (bad but good), Modern Family (sheer genius), Jersey Shore (reminder that my life is actually quite normal), Supergatory (accidental find, great find)


The Perfect Palette:  Whether you're planning an event or enamored with color-schemes like me, this fantastic site creates the most perfect palettes (hence, the name) for your special day, event or even room.


For "unique, witty, distinctive paper goods with vintage flair" - check out Miss Pickle's Press - because anything with pickles has my vote.


Thank you pintrest for these ... and for being worst than crack.

A small reminder

to get carried away ...

And as I commit to an uber productive day, I'll leave you with this Wednesday fact of life ... "After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF."  Amen.
