one moment please...

oh what to say?!  i could talk about how epic my new job is?  how i've only experienced stress twice in the last 2 months of having it.  the first happened when my computer froze on facebook as my boss approached my desk.  STRESS.  the second was when we ran out of coffee, but luckily mr. important man suit only wanted water.  crisis.averted.  but that's about as stressful as one's life can be when you have the EASIEST JOB IN AMERICA.  somedays i gaze out the window and ponder life and if it was really meant to be lived as a receptionist.  most days i'm just grateful i found this lovely job amidst the joblessness.  i make it a point not to take it too seriously. let's move on.

friday night means, what wonderful thing will i do while being with brad?!  my husband has an amazing beard that he grows just for me.  tonight we will make cottage cheese pancakes with jam, sing duets in the kitchen, shake our asses and then watch suits.  glory!  what will you be doing bloggy universe?  speaking of the bloggy universe...aren't there so many great blogs out there?  sometimes i become obsessed.  so many great people who ooze creativity and share the happenings of their corner in the world.  it can be so inspiring and fun.  but i've noticed, it's sticky.  soon you look at their skillz and compare them to your own skillz.  zzz.  i probably will never make my children's clothing or eat a salad made of home grown vegetables.  so why do i feel like a bad woman when i see that on a blog?  why?  WHY?!  i'm happy with the target selection of baby cuteness and enjoy the reduced guilt options trader joes so graciously provides.  yay for being us!  it's a constant reminder to myself to keep in check who i am and who i want to be.  to view other people's lives and mad skillz as lovely and inspiring and beautiful, but not let it twist into that horrible feeling of  being a loser.  so let's appreciate our bloggy differences and use our powers for good. 

brad just texted and said he's going home to get our pancake on.  glory!

What up for making two out of the ten links on the blog! Love that you had fb frozen on your computer too. That made me laugh. When I was a receptionist and passed my hours away stalking skinny, blonde adorable couples who surfed and built their dream house, I had to stop because they made me feel uncool and ungrateful. It's easy to feel lame looking at other people's homemade cleaning supplies and fresh salads but don't fall into that trap. I'll post pics soon when my mom leaves and let's me turn on cartoons for the kids again. Ha ha. Take my word for it though, he's a doll. You guys should get one.
