I had a nice post all planned out, but it always happens that I scrap the scheduled posts for the spur of the moment posts.
- I had a major Adorable Boy fail tonight. Actually, it wasn’t major. It was very minor, and that’s why it was disappointing. Lisa bet me $50 to invite him to her Valentine’s Day party, but that wasn’t happening unless I yelled after him in a quiet library. He should be back soon, though, and I’ll work my magic then. Yeah, that’s what will happen. I wish I wasn’t so damn ridiculous, but every time I think I’ve done something too pathetic to even post about, I end up posting about it anyway.
- Maybe I’m not remembering election night properly, but it seemed like things set in after the big win. I watched the inauguration (which aired quite early on the west coast, by the way) but it still doesn’t feel real. I keep reminding myself that there is no more waiting. I have my new president. Maybe it doesn’t feel real yet, but I sure feel joyous when I stop and remember.
- The new first family is adorable. It’s weird. I love them to pieces, but I actually feel kind of sorry for them too. Even though there’s so many amazing aspects to it, that is not a life I’d want for myself.
- I did not understand or enjoy the inauguration poem, yet complaining about it seems wrong somehow. I mean, hating on poetry–not the inauguration.
- I try not to talk about work, because I wouldn’t want my job to be compromised if this not-so-anonymous blog was found. But, let me just tell you about one of my coworkers. Lisa and I call her KIA (pronounced like the car). That stands for Know It All. I won’t say any more. You can guess how annoying that is.
- Speaking of work, I’m finally back to my normal schedule of working swing shift. It’s really not a good shift, but I missed it.
- After my awesome weekend of eating and drinking and playing cards with Elyse, I’m left with a house full of bad-for-me foods. I threw some of it away, because I cannot be in a house with Oreos. The giant bottle of vodka I obviously have to finish off, but the Oreos had to go.

It’s mysterious what AB is doing in the library that much. If his major is dependent on it, I suppose it makes sense, but he seems to be there quite a bit. The poem and the final prayer were both annoying.
I have a KIA at my work too. It’s so totally obnoxious, especially when you’ve been working there longer than said KIA.
Oh, and the oreo/vodka thing? Made me giggle. :D
Could you please refrain from throwing away Oreos? From now on, you should box up unwanted orphan Oreos and post them directly to Korea. Thankyouverymuch!
I wasnt a huge fan of the poetry either, I was sort of hoping for Maya Angelou. I loved the instrumental piece though! I have a few KIAs at work and it sucks.
What is swing shift?
I’m fascinated by the first family, but you’re right..in a strange way, I feel sorry for them. Especially the young girls. I would never have wanted to grow up with all eyes on me.
No no no! Don’t throw out the Oreos! Send them to me, I’ll give them a good home :)
I agree with everyone. Never throw away Oreos!! They are a good source of….calcium?
I agree with you about the poem. I didn’t really like it. Or maybe the reason I didn’t like it was because the person who read it sounded like a robot.
awww I love you. You can’t just let that huge bottle of vodka sit there…you had to drink it! I would have done the same thing :)
I agree.
Poem = not good.
I definitely empathize with you about the Oreos. I have to keep myself from buying any kind of sweets/cookies when I go to the store, or else I’ll eat them all in short order.
Also I agree with the other commenters; it seems like more than coincidence that this Adorable Boy is at the library so much. That’s just my opinion, but it seems that way.
Omg I loved the inaugeration. I’m such a BO fan even though I’m Canadian. And I totally sympathize with you on throwing away the oreo’s, I’m one of those people who it’s all or nothing for so I’d easily eat an entire box in one sitting if given the chance.
See, I would have eaten all the Oreos and then used the vodka to drown my guilt. Good for you! :)
I turned off the computer when the poem came on–I saw what I needed! Good luck finding adorable boy again–I hope you win that bet!
Most people that I know who saw it favoured the blessing over the poem.
Good luck with Adorable Boy!
I love when you write in bulleted points.
I have faith in you when it comes to adorable boy. You can be totally outgoing and interesting (or, at least, how outgoing you are on your blog makes me believe that). Don’t worry about seeming dumb, just try to start a convo withh him. It is better to feel uncomfortable for a few minutes than wonder about what it would be like. That’s my opinion.
The new first family is the cutest thing ever AND I also hated the poem.
I feel the SAME way about the new first family!
