[something I needed to hear again today, and didn’t realize until a friend emailed it to me]
worktalk
me: Maybe I need to switch industries. Tattoo artist?
J : totally! draw smiley faces on people
me: Oh, yeah! And unicorns and stuff. It'll be sparkly and wonderful.
J : stick figure unicorns. :D
me: AWESOME! And I'll color my hair all Rainbow Bright and insist on people calling me Tammii (with TWO I's) or maybe Steffanii.
J : Steffiiiiiii! :D I insist you quit your job AT ONCE.
me: And I'll wear way too much aqua eyeliner and bubblegum lipgloss. I'll be awesome. You're so right. There's my future, right there. :P
J : Pete is going to be so thrilled
me: Totally. He'll insist we elope immediately instead of waiting until June, in case some roughian named Thadley sweeps me off my feet while I'm giving him his stick figure unicorn fighting a stick figure dragon tat.
J : OMG it's a little early for me to be cackling this loudly!
Sometimes conversations like this are the only thing that gets me through the workweek. Apologies to any multi-color haired, bubblegum-lipped Steffaniiii(iiiii)s out there.

*breather*
It’s been .. wow. The last six weeks have been great. I guess that’s what happens when you have a new (p’erty fantastic) boyfriend* who keeps you busy and there are movies and street fairs and concerts and then a certain book comes out (no spoilers here - but I wasn’t one of the disappointed few - love!) and you spend a whole day reading and you stay up too late that same...

I ain’t the reason that you gave me no reason to return your call You built a house of cards and got shocked when you saw them fall I ain’t sayin’ I’m innocent In fact the reverse But if you’re headin’ to the grave You don’t blame the hearse You’re like a little girl yellin’ at her brother ‘Cause you lost his ball Well you keep...

Hey, Kris : And when you’re on the street Depending on the street I bet you are definitely in the top three Good looking girls on the street (Depending on the street) You’re so beautiful You could be a waitress You’re so beautiful You could be an air hostess in the ’60s You’re so beautiful You could be a part-time model Now I gotta go watch that again.
gross
I have 41 mosquito bites on my left foot and ankle alone. That doesn’t count the equally-chewed right foot/ankle. Or my sides. Or my arms, although they aren’t too bad at all. That’s what I get for doing way too many Jello shots (lime ones were ICKY) and sitting on someone’s back porch all night. And even though I missed the keg stands the boys were doing in the garage...

poor lil' car
My car = still not done. Jenni = NOT HAPPY. It should be done today. But I’ve been hearing that since Tuesday morning. My head might explode. The problem is that they either ordered or were shipped the wrong drum. TWICE. The first time caused my original problem, and the second time is why I’m still waiting for my car. I’m usually one of the most easy-going girls around. ...
The Drama
So, the saga of my car continues. I had the trans replaced about two weeks ago. So two days ago, I’m following The Sean home from getting his car reparied, to make sure he gets there okay. I’m a little over 50 miles away from my place. The trans starts slipping. Violently. I make it to a stop light, when it totally freezes up, and my car starts smoking. REALLY smoking. I jump out...
Supahstah!
I’m gunna be on TV! Our local news station is doing a segment on our program at work. We found out they were going to be using us as ‘background’ while they film the client talking. They took a half-hour of film with me working. First from over my shoulder, looking at my computer screen (which was fine) and then the camera guy angled it around to full-on view. Yikes!!!! It...
