"The Melody Is Sad And Sweet, And The Dance I Do Is Fun"

I can't believe that JUST LIKE THAT, my blog-cation is over! Like, who authorized July to just swoop on in here and shit all over my delusions of time management?!

Oh, didn't you know? All the things I took time off to revel in & handle? Ain't get reveled NOR handled. I did go to the beach one Sunday and finally made it to yoga last night, though *checks that off TO DO list* so it wasn't all for naught.

Yeah I had lofty plans for my time away, but I let setback after downfall after disappointment shove me into a(nother) depressive funk. Just ask the papers stacked on my kitchen table, or the trillion bags of unwashed clothes, or the broken sink that I can't even bother to call the landlord about. My only saving grace is that this time I'm actually sleeping in my bed and not on The Couch.

But the babies are gone for a few weeks (I feel like I've written that before and STILL didn't make a difference; whether they're here or not I can't seem to get life right) and Mari's stank behind is here attending some hoity-toity fancy ass principal academy. I'm hoping that the combination of freedom from mom duty + being around another competitive, nerd-girl, academic will keep me motivated to do the things I need to do. Y'all know I have no self-discipline! I need consequences & repercussions!!

Now it's a race to the finish: WILL Raquel hand in her thesis before Alumni Weekend in August? WILL she actually go back to the gym? WILL she EVER EVER EVER take that bike back out in the light of day? And more importantly, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EMPLOY THIS HEFFA ALREADY?!

Ahhh the life of a broke-ass writer...

You'll just have to keep reading to find out.

In the meantime, please everyone take a minute to wish my girl Celia a HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. She just gave birth to another sweetum-bejeetum baby girl so she's probably just home chillin, sleeping, pulling her hair out. Birthday wishes from y'all (and the Blues Travelers- one of the first bands we ever bonded over) are sure to put a smile on her face.



And now, back to our regularly scheduled Fuckery Fest...

*smooches...with soooo many tales to tell*

Love you!

I don't know if that bike will ever feel sunshine again, but I have faith that the thesis will get submitted.

Glad your break is over, though. What is my life without jadedness?! Nothing, I tell you. NOTHING!

@irene- you aren't anywhere near as pissed and frustrated as I am. Just sayin.

@bangs- *gasp* please don't shake me; I have VERTIGO!

@reina- every time I look at that bike all I think is "$170 down the MF-ing drain..." It laughs at me on a daily basis...

Do I need to call Patsy on you? Clearly you want to get motivated, and stared down until you submit that thesis. And she's the person to do it.

I believe the thesis will get done, you just need to focus. While the girls are gone you just take yourself to the library and don't leave until you're done. You're going to have to sacrifice a little bit of fun to finish but you can do it!

As for the bike, you have two girls get them up and out the house and let them ride the bike. And if they don't want to go force them out. The bike will have paid for itself in by August. SEE PROBLEM Solved!

*tosses cape* I'm out!

Hahahahaha @ Oh, didn't you know? All the things I took time off to revel in & handle? Ain't get reveled NOR handled.

Happy Belated to your friend and your sister should be able to bring and maintain the nerd-girl academic in you.

A trillion, eh?
