Super Fun Week is almost over and it makes me sad. Today is really the last full day of super fun week. Because Friday is the Friday Report day and that's never fun. So I just have to enjoy today as much as possible. Woo. And it's a lovely day too. So I think I'm running outdoor errands this afternoon and leaving at five. Yes, my sexy rock star life.
So, the grill guy downstairs asked me out. Well, he asked me if I wanted to take him out. I think that counts as being asked out though. I told him I'd think about it. I don't know. He doesn't really thrill me. But he seems like a really sweet guy. It's not like it would be the end of the world if we grabbed dinner or something. He does always remember that I like egg whites, broccoli & American cheese on a croissant (wrap if the croissants are all gone) each morning. But I don't know. Why bother going out with someone who doesn't thrill you? Also, he has to be nutty. I do not look good today. Saggy pants, my hair is acting up and I'm totally breaking out like a fiend. Seriously. I would not ask me out today and I'm kinda half in love with me.
Next week is going to suck so hard. Grrrr...

Super Fun Week (not as cool as or to be confused with Birthday Week)
Most of my big bosses are out of the country this week, all week. So it's been a lovely, lovely non-productive week. I'm almost a little sad that as of today, it's half over. I've gotten all kinds of personal stuff done and went to lunch with Rock Star Fran yesterday. Good times. I haven't gotten through nearly enough TWoP recaps this week though. I'm thinking maybe I'll dedicate this afternoon to recaps. Though I do want to make a run to the card store. Maybe I'll do the card store tomorrow. It'll be a nicer day tomorrow. Ah, I love Super Fun Week.
Lovey and I bailed on work early yesterday (it being super fun week and all) and went to see 13 Going on 30. Loved it. Parts of it were totally cornball, but I loved it. Anyone who was a 13 year old girl in the mid to late 80s will probably find lots to cover their eyes about in the movie. Horrible sweaters with hearts on them, wearing as many colors at once as possible, Pat Benetar, partial pony tails (especially ones on the side of your head). Sadly, there was no reference to Breakin' or Breakin' 2. Though I guess she was 13 in '87 (like me) rather than '84 so it would've been past the Breakin' years. Still. Would've been awesome. Man, junior high sucked so hard. And sadly, now that I'm turning 30 I look nothing like Jennifer Garner. But still, loved the movie. Woo.
*Just got back from reading with little Beyonce and she really liked 13 Going on 30 as well. Just so you know. The 10 year olds AND the 30 year olds dig it. I also started teaching her algebra. She is so awesome.

Blog 2: Electric Boogaloo
I watched the start of Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. How jealous are y'all? I love Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. The second one actually came out on DVD first. Which is why I have it and not Breakin'. But I have Breakin' on my wish list. For those who want to know. Did y'all know Lela Rochon was in both as an extra (she was married to Ozone)? And Donovan Leitch is dancer in the second one. Hee. And Ice-T. Hee. Well, he was a rapper and not a dancer. Ah, such good times. But I guess Breakin' is the reason movies like You Got Served exist. And that sorta makes me sad. Though You Got Served led to an excellent South Park episode (episode 805) that brought back the Goth kids and the Raisin girls so maybe it's all good. I miss wearing that much neon and dancewear as actual clothing and all that ripped, shredded stuff. Good times.
Otherwise last night was kind of sad. It was my Nana's birthday. And this time last year my grandfather was dying in a hospital bed. And I always think this stuff won't hit me so hard, but then it does. And I just spent most of the evening missing my grandparents and wishing I could be with my Mom to help her get through this time of year. So I got all sad and sappy and wrote an angsty journal entry and then kinda went to bed missing them. I know I'm lucky to have a great family and I've said as much a thousand times, but this week I don't care. I just feel sad and pissy that I don't have them around anymore. There are all kinds of things each week that I want to share with them and I can't. And it pisses me off and makes me sad.
I kinda wish that there were a heaven where I could be back with the friends and family I've lost. Is there a religion that promises that? Because if there is, maybe I can find my faith again.
Man, is it wrong to mourn my grandparents and worship Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo in the same entry? I don't know. Grandpa John would've hated Electric Boogaloo. Nana probably would've laughed at me and went back to playing cards or something. But they both would've watched for at least a bit if I'd asked them to. They're pretty awesome. All of 'em. Nana, Papaw, Bz, Grandpa John. Amazing grandparents.

YAWN
All the big bosses are out this week so I'm hoping this will be the best work week ever. We've planned movie screenings and macaroni craft hours. Good times ahead I think. Well, maybe not. But I should be able to catch up on email and Television Without Pity and Taekwon Do and so on and so forth. Woo. The excitement.
The weekend was good. I wasn't feeling so hot for most of it, but the enforced home time was good. Saturday was lovely and I spent time in the back yard. Talked with my neighbor and everything is all good with the back. She's apparently just been bitten by the gardening bug and is trying stuff out. And the yard has been neglected for a long time so we're just going to play it by ear now and see if we can get grass in there and maybe some good shade plants. And if we've ruined it beyond repair by June, my friend Jo at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden said she'd check it out and maybe fix whatever we've done then and get us sod and the like. We'll see. But I'm very hopeful for a decent yard by the time my big birthday bash rolls around. Though I will have to go yard furniture shopping...
I also cleared off a lot of TiVo and started cleaning up digital photos and getting them online. Amazing huh? I'm kind of on a roll. Though the 150+ photos from Christmas in Hawai'i almost killed me. Luckily there aren't so many photos for December.
My god, I am the most boring woman alive. Gah.
