Lent

I haven't gone to church in a long time, but even so I consider myself a spiritual person.  I don't always participate in Lent (as in giving something up).  I felt I should do something this Lenten year.  I will give up booze.  And that's hard; we have a wine cellar.  If C likes a bottle of wine, he buys a damn case.  So far he has bought out the wine selections from TWO different stores because "they were on sale".  This man makes his own tonic for our gin & tonics.  He LOVE alcohol.  I think if alcohol was a lady, he would leave me for her harlotry embraces.

But yes, it's hard.  I've been working from home lately and doing freelancing writing on the side and the wine cabinet is RIGHT next to my desk.

* takes deep breath*

I'm ok, you guys.  I fainted for a minute.  I'm ok, though.

So yeah, giving up booze.  I'd like to make it 40 days.  We shall see.

Can we still be friends?

My Name is Fitz

GLAMOUR SHOT

Hi, my name is Fitz.  Nice to meet yo....*whips head around at door* SQUIRREL???
Anyway, back to me.  I like eating recycling, rolling in poop and then literally smelling like shit for DAYS until mom or dad (almost always mom) gives me a bath.

Recently my sister, Abby, taught me how to howl at fire engines or ANY loud noise.  Cool trick, AMIRITE?  I think my parents luuurrvveee it...*jumps 180* I SWEAR I HEARD A SQUIRREL!!

I love coffee and ANY bottles of pills that are left out on the counter!  One time I knocked over mom's coffee, drank it all, and then ate a whole bottle of doggie heartworm pills.  I was racing all over the house and then threw up everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE) for the next week.

That's about it, I have to go howl at some more things and maybe try to drink mom's wine (she REALLY loves that stuff).

VEGASSS

We're headed to Vegas this Friday through the following Monday!  We're going to race cars, haggle with hookers, gamble and rob a liquor store, because, VEGAS!

I'll have some photos veryyyy soon.  I have several sparkly dresses I will be debuting and (re) debuting.  Yeah, I'm excited.

Bellagio, whooooooooooooooo...*cough* oooooooooooooo!!!!

LOOK HOW HAPPY I AM!!

Ok, so that picture was from a month ago.  So what?  I am too lazy to turn my phone around and take a picture?  Yes, yes I am. Also, I wanted to show you the level of sparkles that would be debuting and yes, (RE) debuting (I'm not a millionaire, you guys).

So, sparkles.  YAYY!

Why Do I have Two Blogs, You Ask?

I'll tell you.  THIS here blog started out as a way for me to write poems and short stories to share with friends at their leisure.  I wanted them to be able to view whenever without being bombarded with emails from me saying "OMGGGG, I wrote another poem about my dog!! It's attached".
Right?  No one wants their inbox flooded with poems about dogs. OR DO THEY, HALLMARK??? (please return my calls, Hallmark *sobs*)

But weirdly (to me) I started getting followers.  So, two blogs.  I think this one is more whimsical and fanciful and the other is more satirical.  So, yeah. Two blogs. 

You're welcome?

Rogue 24

I reviewed Rogue 24 at my other blog: Business, Casual

Do it.

930 Club

C and I went to an AWESOME show at the 930 club last week.  It was so much fun!  We saw The Kills and they were fantastic.  We had pre-club drinks and small plates at Dickson Wine Bar and the wine was good, the food...eh.

Once we got to the show I was keeping an eye out for Nicole from Peace Love Nicole since I knew she'd be at the show.  Once the club started filling up, however, I kinda gave up on seeing her since the show was sold out.  BUT, serendipity, Nicole stood directly  behind me and we gave each other a huge hug.  She is the sweetest thing ever!  It was a good night and a GREAT show.

The Seasons

I never fully enjoy the swampiness of DC summers until they pass and it's winter.  Although this winter has been particularity mild, I still find myself missing my sundresses.  So I decided to wear a sundress to work today (with tights and a thick sweater over my dress) but....a SUNDRESS!

And THICK wool socks.

I'm all sniffly with a cold.  Please, Spring, I promise I'll revel in you. 

Boston

I was in Boston this past weekend and despite JUST getting over what I have been referring to as the "bubonic plague" (copyright), I felt pretty ok the WHOLE weekend.  Even though it was in the low teens the entire time.  Son of a...

But I got to catch up with my best friend and my sister.  I had not seen either of them in a month, so...that feels like a long time.

And took some pictures!  Behold!

I love graffiti, ya'll.  Like, a LOT!

 Ok, that's about it.  I'll post more pictures tomorrow!

Om

From the yoga studio where I work:

I love this symbol!

Lights

Christian and I did some drive-by photos of crazy-ass Christmas house displays.  For some of the photos we couldn't stop since the houses were on busy roads/Christian didn't feel like stopping.

Some are blurry (we were moving) and I didn't have a tripod once we got out.  Here ya go!

We are BOTH smiling!

Happy New Yeaaarrr!!!

Christmas

Merry (late) Christmas and happy (late) holidays!

Right after opening presents (and mimosas)

Music

I miss going to shows.  I've been so  busy lately and need to find new, fun bands.

9:30 club, I'll see you soon.

Coffee...Again

Mmmmnnn.  My eyelids just started to droop.  I hate Mondays but Wednesdays may also be terrible.

Mid-week: Still....not....over.

This helps:

I love you, coffee.

Dammit

Aaaand I just posted the last post to the wrong blog.  Oh well.  Too lazy to switch it around. So. Tired.

Loud Sigh Day

I can already tell today is going to be "Loud sigh day".  There will be many, many loud sighs coming from my side of the office.  And no, it's not due ENTIRELY to poor grammar in emails and bad life decisions of people, but due to the fact that I'm FUCKING TIRED, yo.  I'm so tired.

And being tired makes me cranky and want to cry for no reason.  So, I'm not allowed on any rescue websites today.

(five minute pause)
......

Ohmygoddddd, I just went to one and...and...THEFACES!!!!  The faces, the puppy faces!!!!  Awhhhhhhhhh4y3hf3n9t2cttegrheroighergh!!!

But I digress, I'm tired.

I just started a new job, I've been running in races EVERY weekend for the last few weekends and my boyfriend makes me bike at least 70 miles every other weekend.  All I want to do is sit and relax, but nooooooooooooooooooo, nooooooooooo, my dog decides that THIS week is the week he wants to destroy my closet and bedroom (and partial bathroom waste bin destruction).  Sweet lord, no toilet brush or article of clothing is safe!

Run for the hillllsssss!!!!!
