midweek confessions
1) I roll my eyes and bitch with the rest of you when the mall Christmas decorations go up two seconds after Halloween's passing ... but secretly? I have started to love the holidays again. And so, for me, the sooner the blinky lights come on, the better.
2) I've been eating a lot of leftover Halloween candy. I cannot specify exactly how much, but I can say it ain't pretty. Particularly because all my favorites contain peanut butter.
4) ... and no on Con-Con because if I even considered it, I would have been clobbered by my union. There is the whole "A bajillion nonexistent dollars to fix what isn't broken" thing, but being clobbered by teachers is even worse.
5) I misbuttoned my cardigan this morning and looked like a special-needs teacher all day long. Was it a kindness or blindness that NO ONE told me this all day?! Anyway, this is the "Proud To Be An American" getup that had to be topped off with a cardigan in the first place. I love Old Navy, but the thickness of their basic tanks is comparable to a sheet of Kleenex.
6) I am supposed to be running errands and making dinner right now. Instead I am taking bad self-portraits and giggling over the daily blogroll. Some great wife I'm gonna be.
7) I know I am paying too much for wedding flowers. This does not mean I am paying for quality or service I'm not receiving. It means I'm paying for and receiving top quality and excellent service that I do not exactly need, if you catch my snowdrift. Becoming a bratty bride, stimulating the economy, enjoying the finer things in life, making the most of a special day ... however you look at it, I just put down a lot of money in a category I claimed, not a month ago, to have very little interest in.
Okay, gotta go run those errands for real now.

you know, if you talked to your co-workers more often i'm sure they would've pointed out that you looked all special-needs. see? it does pay off even if you do fake the funk.
eat more candy.
I would have told you that your cardigan was buttoned wrong. Come to Oregon.
