Now I should have no trouble finding a guy
I was just told I look like Patti from the Millionaire Matchmaker. I just have to channel my inner Patti.

So at midnight I'll be
in a movie theater seeing Tron Legacy. If I like it, then my year will be off to a great start, and if I don’t, the year can only get better. My glass is always full of something whether it’s liquid, or hot air, or optimism or whatever. Bonus points because I get to see some friends from out of town that I haven’t seen in ages.

And then enjoy who you become. :)

Off to Goodwill to drop off some stuff
It may be warming up a bit but there are still a lot of people out there who need help. It’s not too late to make one last 2010 donation to an organization of your choice.

Schadenfreudelicious is still one of my favorite...
My friends make up the best words. Keep it up guys.
I bet I get along great with 2010

Wow, my psychic powers were strong last NYE. Look what I predicted. :P

1. Clean out the storage locker. It’s been a couple of years now. Use, give or sell that stuff and stop paying for a mini-apartment for stuff.
2. Finish the 9/11 transcription job pronto. Just hunker down. The author has deadlines and so do you.
3. Repaint the steps and pilings under the NOLA house. Of course this is going to make you want to paint the whole house sooner than later but...

Truthful Thursday
At lunch today someone asked: “You’ve been in love before, haven’t you?” And the brutally honest answer was “Yes. Well … not really. No. Not with someone who was in love with me.”

I should learn to read all of the words
I plead end of the year exhaustion on this one, but I just got an email inviting me to an author talk about The Bed of Proscrustes but I read it as The Bed of Prostitutes. I’m sure they would have some Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms to share as well.
I'm such a proud meme-y mommy
I’d like to thank the Academy of Tumblrs and …
Actually I think you all starring as yourselves is just perfect. My suggesting Sandra Bullock for myself certainly wasn’t about physical resemblance (which clearly stops at she and I both being brunettes). I think she and I are both smart, compassionate, talented ladies with a girl next door vibe and we both own houses in NOLA but...
So who would play you in the movie?
I ended up in a conversation in the ladies’ room at a restaurant last night in which two young ladies were pretending to cast a movie and were picking who would play each of their friends in the movie.
From inside the stall one hollered out to the other to ask me who would play me in a movie. I said Sandra Bullock and they thought that was a good choice. The one then said she would be...
I hope dating me doesn't turn into an emergency...
Him: 5:30 good?
Me: Sure. Where?
[snipped portion about where cause I don't trust some of you not to try catch a peek]
Him: I'm recognizable. Red pullover jacket. And cut on face.
Me: What happened? Did you make Santa angry?
Him: I decided to shave in case I like you. :)
Me: Well I certainly hope I'm worth the blood loss. :P
So if you suddenly had an extra random day off
what would you do?
Woo hoo, just got an extra day off
My efforts to trudge through the swowpocalypse on Monday have been rewarded with an extra day off. Woo hoo. And my boss already owes me an extra day off because of another act of heroism I performed earlier this year. 2011 is looking better and better already!
What's that sound?
Just numbers crunching under my pencil like the ice crystals I stomped on the way to work. Today is hereby declared crunchy.

Crisis averted
The sock has been located. It had fallen into the box. No not the one at the Met, one of the boxes under my desk and the sock was dark and it’s dark under my desk and so … you may all return to your normal activities now. No I’m fine. Just getting the weirds out before I go meet some new gentleman tomorrow. :)
How did I manage to lose a sock under my desk?
Charge: Smartass, Verdict: Guilty as charged
Me: So did you get the garage door fixed?
Him: Well sort of. It wasn't really broken. It has a sensor on it that makes sure it doesn't shut on someone's foot. But there was a lot of snow and it can't tell the difference between a foot and snow.
Me: Especially if it's at least a foot of snow. :P
Him: You are a smartass, aren't you?
Me: Yeah, but only in a lovable way. I don't use it to be mean.
Him: I see that. I haven't detected anything mean about you yet. I'm sure it's in there deep down somewhere. lol
Me: Oh, you've already figured out my secret. Bwahahaha!
Why was I dreaming about shopping for #2 clarinet...
I’ve been having some weird dreams lately but haven’t really been keeping track of them. I usually treat my dream life as a way to let my brain go off and sort stuff out and have some fun without conscious me getting in the way. But this little pieces is sticking with me for some reason. It seems too obscure to not be relevant.
I don’t remember the whole thing but I know a good...

Truthful Tuesday
I have never had a professional mani or pedi.
I don’t have any tattoos. I like them and think some ink ranks among the best artwork I’ve seen but I’m always changing and guess I never thought of anything that I’d always want on me. I did go out with a guy a couple of times that had a barcode tattoo on his arm. I really wanted to take him to the store and scan him.
I...
