did you have to point it out?

i'll be the first to admit that my work wardrobe is not exciting. since i gained back the weight i lost i wear pretty much 3 skirts and 3 pair of pants (but mainly the skirts) on a rotating basis. i have a few shirts and cardigans that i also rotate. they aren't flashy - they're earth toney. for the most part i could care less - my desk is so high that people walking in can only see my head anyhow. i have more clothes but i just can't fit into them right now and i don't want to spend money that i don't even have on clothes that i don't want fitting me right now....

that said....

i did not need to hear a (male) co-worker say 'YAY! New shirt!' to me today when i walked by. for one - i've worn the shirt i wore today plenty of times. for two - you wear fucking scrubs and [name of employment] t-shirts every day - like you're one to comment on wardrobe ya doorknob!

i know it shouldn't but it kind of hurt my feelings. i know i don't have big variety but i think i look nice. and who cares if i don't have a big selection? as long as they are clean - i mean i work on a floor were everyone else is in scrubs - pish.

he should have known better.......

what a waste

this morning's topic: sprinklers

minnesota - up until this past weekend has had a scarce amount of rain. practically none. most people's (and i admire them) yards were dry and brown. then you had those people who had lush lush green lawns - sprinklers on at all hours - half of them watering the street and sidewalks. these people make me angry. especially the people who own a set of business spaces (that have yet to be occupied) across the street from me. their lawns are always (at least every time I've driven by - morning and night) getting watered! do they not understand the concept of conservation? to me - a watered lush green lawn amidst a drought does not make me think 'pretty' - it makes me think 'what assholes would waste water like that?'

but

this morning on the way to work i saw something that just dumbfounded me. since this past weekend we have been getting a lot of rain - things are getting green naturally! yay! that has not stopped the assholes mentioned above from continuing to water their lawns - while it's actually raining outside! honest to pete......

what a waste.

this. sucks. ass.

sick with allergies but still a

major dork

as the day progressed......

my eyes got worse.

my head felt like nothing it's felt before.

my stomach wanted to hurl.

in short - i felt like complete poop. although the opposite of complete poop would be...ish...why am i bothering to even speculate on such matters. i blame the allergies.

that's right - allergies. before i could even ask him (the pharmacist at Target) what he thought he told me i had allergies and to try clariton. which i did (target brand of course - much MUCH cheaper and way more meds!).

and suprisingly enough i'm starting to feel better. i no longer want to poke my eyes out with a fork.

i never understood this whole allergy thing. i thought people's eyes watered and they got the sniffles. i was wrong. this sucks ass. my head felt like nothing i've felt before - headachy/full/dulled. my eyes (or skin around them) were itchy/burning and nothing soothed them! i bought that eye mask and it just made them hurt more - that and it made my already sick stomach more sick with it's nasty plastic smell. ah well. i feel better now.

i just hope i don't feel like this all through vacation. hmph.

and i have no idea what i'm allergic to. it started about 2 months ago. something at work? something outside? who knows. and since my dumbass forgot to get insurance i won't find out for another...well...5 months.

gross - this is what my eyes looked like at work today

aloe vera please!

ouch

i'm burnt.

it sucks.


my dumbass plopped herself down in the backyard to read all afternoon. i wasn't too worried though - i have had yet to actually tan since moving to this great northern state nearly 14 years ago and i've only burnt twice in my whole life - both times involved water. and it was a beautiful sunny day - i didn't want to waste it. after reading chris and i took moose and the log to the dog park - more sun. (i also got a flat tire - damn screws in the road) i didn't see how burnt i was until i got home and looked in the mirror! i think my exact words were 'holy shit!'

needless to stay i've learned my lesson. my arms are glowing. they are hot. they hurt.

anyone got some aloe vera?
