can i get some cheese for this whine?

sometimes going home, putting on my sweat pants and watching gossip girl and one tree hill in my adorable living room is about all i want to do and the knowledge that in a couple hours i can do just that, is all that keeps me going.

i feel a little sad admitting that here since so many of my readers know me in real life (and are my coworkers/boss, in some cases) but i mean seriously…if you don’t have days like this, you need to write a book and teach seminars on being awesome. in all sincerity, i applaud you.

it’s days like this that i think about vicki on the real housewives of orange county and think: how? how? how? this woman is like 50 years old and she has more spunk and energy than i did when i was 19.

do you think vicki ever gets the 4:00 crash? my 4:00 crash was KILLER today. i was just at my desk, “thinking, thinking, finagling, thinking, typing, typing, thinking, finagling, finagling thinking…” as vicki would say as she taps her acrylic nail against the mahogany desk (seriously! do you watch that show?!), when all the sudden i found myself slouched over my keyboard, eyes drooping halfway down my face, mouth halfway open and i’m sure that crease between my eyebrows as deep as the grand canyon. i know – so attractive!

and then i thought…gossip girl! one tree hill! sweat pants!

i perked right up and got my stuff taken care of.

now if you’ll excuse me, there is some fine tv programming that i must attend to.

I hate to admit that I watch RHWOC... but I think that the reason that Vicki has the energy of a teenager is that she dresses like a teenager. The power is in the backless halter!

I love RHWOC however sometimes at 24 I feel like I'm turning into a frumpy 50 year old when I'd also rather stay home in my PJ with a good movie then go out dancing or drinking! ::Sigh:: oh well! My sweatpants love me!

remember when I was walking into work, dressed like a hobo and you in your stylish boots and dress and I asked, "Do you look at me some days and just think, 'hannah, Oh my gosh.'
At least you wait till you're at home to get like this. I applaud YOU!

GG is the only thing that even gets me out of bed on Mondays! This week was a re-run right? I gave it up for FHE in my attempt to be more Mormon. It is going really well so far, super hot red headed boy in my family. And, let's be honest, we all know that a boy with blonde eyelashes has the power to make me do unspeakable things; it is one of my greater vices!

I read this and thought "I totally relate. I must comment." Promising myself "Judging Amy" and a bowl of popcorn got me through half of college and watching girly movies with chocolate got me through the rest!

P.S. I'm Hannah's friend and I think your blog is fab.
