I've decided to live-blog the day, or at least, as much as time permits...
6:55am ... shit. i need to get up. i also need to pee. if i get up now, i will be early! i will be on time! all week! my life will be perfect! Upon attempting to open my eyes, I saw Marc scurry into the bathroom ... and quickly decide to close eyes and sleep some more as bathroom is not currently available.
7:17am ... get out of bed. curse alarm clock for "not working" and by "not working" I mean ... failing to shake my fat ass out of bed at precisely 6:30am ... and causeing me to be late for everything.
7:20am ... shower.
7:30am ... grumble at marc and cats
8:15am ... walk out the door for work and curse self for once again not being able to get out the damn door by 8am to be at work ON TIME GODDAMMIT.
8:45am ... Am privy to my receptionists tales of woe as is related to her unstable gut as she "ate seafood last night" and "everything is loose, but not ready to move" ... perhaps the breakfast of microwavable bacon and ovecooked onions will assist in the much needed "movement".
8:45:31am ... note to self: get key to use ladies bathroom on anything floor BUT the 5th, all day.
9:06am ... decided that my life, as it stands in this moment, is worthy of a live blog.
9:20am ... check Outlook calendar for editing deadlines today and tomorrow and realize I haven't actually started what is needed. Wonder aloud if I am actually the dependable! reliable! fabulous!! assistant I advertise to be.
9:23am ... make notes on large colorful index cards when random ideas float into my head ... laundry, clean bathroom, send thank-you note for the espresso maker, find recipe for avocado cream sauce, ...
9:55am ... move papers from left side of keyboard to right and feel as though I have accomplished something.
10:30am ... decided to find wedding gown stores in NYC that I can visit when I go see my Connecticut friends next month. Found the mecca of bridal gowns, www.kleinfeldbridal.com -- Noticed that they DO NOT carry any of the brands of dresses I have tried on thus far. Peak at the Carolina Herrera gowns and drool .... imagine just TRYING ON a Carolina Herrera gown ...
10:32am ... wake up from day dream and remember that I just bought a HOUSE and CANNOT wear a wedding dress that rivals three months of mortgage payments.
10:33am ... feel sad because I will never find the right dress for my too-big-boobed and not skinny enough body, what with my muscular legs and round strong arms from years of swimming laps and laps and laps and my ass which is just a whole zip code by itself goddammit. URGH!
10:34am ... curse myself for having hormones which make me curse my body and then curse my body for not being a perfet size 4 like my 59 year old mother!
10:35am ... goddammit.
10:36am ... decided that THIS was NOT the time to decide on my wedding dress and perhaps should consider doing some goddamned work.
11:17am ... my eyelids are getting heavy ... I am feeling veerrrry sleepy!
12:55pm ... use fifth floor women's bathroom with great hesitance due to receptionists tales of gastric woe.
1:01pm ... remember that i brought a salad for lunch and wish that I wasn't trying to be healthy and could eat a big juicy italian sub, or a a whole plate of macaroni and cheese ... but OH! Find crutons I left in file cabinet drawer last week ... still have crunch ... add to salad.
1:24pm ... Applaud self for eating salad and being healthy. Decide to work thru lunch to make up for time spent live-blogging this morning.
1:25pm ... ponder calling bridal shops in search of Destinations 16113 and Alfred Angelo 1428 but realize lack of emotional energies hinder such calls
3:09pm ... still editing a proposal
3:10pm ... should i have baked chicken with cauliflower in avocado cream sauce tonight? or broiled perch ?
3:54pm ... Answering an IRS letter
3:55pm ... Return to editing. My shoulder hurts. I wonder if I lifted something heavy without realizing it. Humm....
5:44pm ... Wishing to go home, but since Marc is out for awhile, perhaps I should use this time to get some things done at work ... or some things done at home, like, laundry, and cleaning and wedding planning and thank-you note writing and couch sitting and bath-taking and cat-petting ...
5:45pm ... ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Live-Blogging a Day ....
