Peggy's Pretty Priceless Passing Points

February 7, 2006
1. So my adventure of the morning was thusly: I received an email from a friend, one of those "all about me" emails that you just have to love. Well, I figured since all of my friends already know ME, I would reply to all of HER friends with my information. One of her friends decided we're besties and spent the morning emailing me. Lovely. Lucky for me, my crazy friend Jonathan started emailing him with random thoughts about bedwetting, lighting fires and tying firecrackers to cats' tails and ended by asking him if he wanted to get together for coffee. The emails have ceased. That'll teach him!
2. I have decided the greatest trick ever is to cut your hair really short on your lunch hour. Freaks out your co-workers.
3. I am finally willing to admit that I have a Diet Coke problem. How I went from hating it to full on addiction in a matter of months is still a mystery to me. I am convinced that aspartyme is an addictive chemical. Do they have a 12 step group for a problem like this? Please let me know if you're aware of one.
4. I'm not going to watch The Bachelor next week because it's the "overnight" dates where the girls are invited to spend the night in the "fantasy suite." I'd like to believe that at least one of them will be moral enough to decline, but I know better. So I'll only watch the last 10 minutes (because I HAVE to know who's going home!) and pretend it's not complete smut.
5. I promise I'm not totally addicted to TV. Grey's Anatomy, the Bachelor and American Idol are really the only shows I get into!
6. There is an apartment complex behind the McDonald's near work and the street that takes you into the complex is called "Secret Garden Way." Doesn't that sound charming? It isn't! It is the dirtiest, scariest apartment complex I've ever seen in the United States. (I've seen some pretty bad ones in France!)
7. Is being disappointed in someone who does what you know they know they shouldn't do being judgemental?
8. Someone asked me how many days until I quit my job and am home full time: 94 days!!!
9. I'm having troubles with my little iPod shuffle. I'm about to poke my eyes out. In case you were wondering who wins the WORST customer service award, it's Apple.
10. Is it time to go home yet?
