3 Point Update - Slightly Scandalous Version!→[More:]
1. My boobies hurt.
2. I ate a hard boiled egg at breakfast. Can't keep up with eggs and their standing on the scandalous food-o-meter.
3. I have gin in my gym bag.
1. I made out with a girl this weekend.
2. She ended up going home with my friend Xavier.
3. Apparently, she made him wear a wrestling one-piece and smacked him around while calling him a "little f----t wrestler." Scandalous!
1. Saw them at this last night. Really really good. . .the complete Brandenburg Concerti on original instruments.
2. 5 out of the last 6 nights, I have gone somewhere and sat on my butt and listened to something. My butt's sore. Not complaining TOO much though.
3. Ate a soft-boiled egg for breakfast yesterday, for the express reason of crumbling the shell around my tomato plants in an attempt to stave off blossom-end rot.
1. I think about the scandalous thing I can manage at the moment is to say that my pretty lacy but itchy bra straps are irritating my sunburned shoulders.
2. The allotment is looking so freaking beautiful that I practically want to send out birth announcements.
3. I had to try very hard not to laugh today when I was told by a client that she was being referred to a gastroenterologist named Dr. Butt.
Quoted for truth:
1. I should be working right now.
2. I'm not working right now.
3. I'm bored as fuck.
A. My ankle is still swollen like a puffer fish. I've walked much more than I'm supposed to on it and it's starting to hurt worse than it did when I injured it.
B. Guy gets home early this week.
C. I had crepes for lunch. They are made with eggs in the batter.
Scandalous 3 Point Update, with egg:
1. Eggs give me terrible diahroea, so I avoid them as much as possible.
2. I dreamt I had sex with with some woman at Bonaroo, last night. (I'm assuming it was Bonaroo, because in the dream it was humid and we were in a tent, and there was rock music going on and I knew it was at a festival.)
3. The reason I am no longer working at the start up is because the CEO was arrested for 53 counts of fraud and theft, at one of his other companies.
2. Been chatting it up on Facebook most of the day today.
3. 2 On-air girls from the Russian TV station in this building stuck up a cigarette break convo with me nust now, but I couldn't understand so I just smiled and nodded. (They were attempting to speak English)
1. Film festival tomorrow! Seeing like four or five films starting at 10:00 or something, zipping off to class, then one more in the evening.
2. Checked out some bardzo fajne guys strolling past the beer barge docked on the bank of the Wisła at sunset while sipping a beer and pretending to leaf through a magazine...scandalous.
3. Scandalous in Polish: skandaliczny.
1. A few of our friends and family are scandalized by my attitude toward the wedding, an attitude which distinctly lacks the lace and the swooning and the blushing. E.g., I just referred to the party plans as "the juggernaut" and "the unstoppable killing machine."
2. To sum up my wedding-planning attitude: I readily weary of shopping for undergarments; I never weary of shopping for liquor. Oh, the scandal!
I had a good day on paper but it was overly social and after a weird train ride back I feel like utter shit, really, really really bad.
Some days I feel like telling my family, friends and everyone that I can't take it, that I am going back to the US and will be hermitting-off from all of them.
1. Hard boiled egg for breakfast, and a poptart
2. Work is a zoo. Organized, but a zoo.
3. my swimsuit almost fell off me at the pool today. Wish I had more cake than cheese to show :(
1. I love eggs. I eat eggs for breakfast just about every day. Mmmm, eggs.
2. I'm thinking of having cake for dinner. And no veggies.
3. There's a Meetup this weekend with a group that's called the Anti-Social Social club. I may attend, since they're going to fireworks. I love a good fireworks show. And I may even be flirty. I'm working on becoming comfortable with my womanly wiles.
1. Eggs, cheese, cake, beer, pepperoni, asparagus, and crepes are all sounding good to me at the moment; you can keep the gin.
2. Unlike lysdexic's work, I'm not organized.
3. I will gleefully add "little ferret wrestler" to my bag of favorite insults.
There may be a touch of scandal buried in there if you read very closely.
1) I am making a clafoutis for dessert tonight which uses 3 eggs.
2) Just stuck my toddler in front of the television with Thomas the
Tank Engine playing in hopes that he'll detach from me for 15
15 minutes and give me some peace. George Carlin does the best
Thomas narration.
1. I didn't do jack shit toward getting a new job today.
2. I did spend quality time with my cats today
3. I went for my annual check. Doctor happy with progress. Bastard had his nurse give me a tetanus shot. Arm still feels like somebody punched me in the arm. At least I needn't worry about lockjaw for another decade.
1. At least three times during my workday, I was capable of taking a human life, if not several.
2. 5 minutes after we stopped buying used books and the buyer left, some twentysomething girl came in and got all huffy when I told her we were done buying for the day. Then she made the I'm-a-young-pretty-girl pouty face and I told her (in essence), "Tough shit, toots, next time check the schedule.' That felt good. Lousy spoiled shits.
3. I need more beer. or a shotgun.
1. I did Bikram yoga again tonight. I wore a white tank. There was plenty of sweat and you could see right through it. There was a bra so not too scandalous!
2. I just finished a turkey and swiss on wheat.
3. I am working tomorrow morning. Last week I had to send someone to the ER (new onset A-fib). Hopefully tomorrow will be uneventful so I can watch the Michael Jackson segment on the Today Show.
1. My writing professor liked my midterm essay so much that she put a freaking star on it, among compliments. I am unashamedly proud.
2. For the first time in a few months, I have actual alcohol in my possession. I took a water bottle refilled with wine (so classy) up to the park yesterday and lazed in the sun for hours reading and drinking. Spinoza's even funnier when you're buzzed.
3. It is so hot these days in my apartment that if my roommate is not home...or is asleep, or locked in his room, clothes are optional.
1. My workout shirt was hurting me and I'm not ready to take a shower yet, so I've spent the last few hours topless. I think it looks good with my gym socks.
2. I finally have another doctor's appt tomorrow to figure out why I still have this cough.
3. Made strawberry almond clafoutis last night, but it didn't come out quite right. It was because I forgot one of the 4 eggs it was supposed to have.
1) I'm trying to kill the rat that's stealing eggs but instead only got the cute little mouse that lives in the feed shed and makes no trouble.
2) While willing to kill (happy and healthy) animals for food or to protect my food, I abhor suffering. Which is why I'm upset the dogs got into it with a raccoon the other night. The poor thing was treed and then, for some reason, came out of the tree and was set upon by the dogs again. The dogs are fine, but the poor raccoon was not. Lacking an appropriate projectile weapon for our lot, I was forced to try and beat the raccoon to death with a flashlight while trying to stay out of the way of claws and teeth. I am ashamed to say that I failed and that, when I checked the next morning, I couldn't find the corpse for burial. Abetting the needless suffering of an animal is not just scandalous, but downright shameful.
3) I bought one of these in the hopes of eliminating any similar situations, which I'm not at all sure is legal, but I warned the neighbors and they're alright with it.
1. I recently discovered I can give myself multiple orgasms -- 4 or 5 in a matter of minutes. (Is this a byproduct of aging? If so, finally a good one.)
1. My boobs are inexplicably growing. More than a cup size (in fact two) in the last couple of months, without any weight gain. I'm 32 and not pregnant, I should be finished growing by now.
2. It's really hot, so I've been wearing as little as possible as often as possible, and I keep being distracted by these enormous bulbous things at the bottom of my regular field of vision.
3. They're frickin heavy, and frankly a bit annoying. I wish I could stop touching them.
4. I had an egg, sunny side up on thick toast with lots of butter, for dinner. YUM.
