I’m cranky. I’m feeling bloated. My stomach is puffy. My face is puffy. My arms are puffy. I’m cranky. I shouldn’t be around humanity, I’m so cranky. I’m forgetting things, putting things in places then not seeing them when I look there. I wandered around Kohl’s for 10 minutes not remembering what I was looking for.

I’m distracted, tired, and did I mention cranky?

And I’m all, “Well, damn, what the hell is wrong with me? Did I not get enough sleep? Am I sick? What the hell?”

Then I look at my calendar. Tomorrow: PERIOD DUE.

Oh. PMS.

I’m so PMS’d I can’t even remember what it is and when it shows up. That cannot be good.

I just reupped the hosting here, even though I’m a sporadic writer, but hey, if I paid my money, let’s do a list of least of my favorite things:

1. The parent who arrived at a party and announced how hung over he was. Yes. I’m absolutely going to schedule a playdate at that house.

2. Anyone who brags about their workout regimen.

3. Knowing that I’m running out of energy and patience and having to keep going anyway.

4. Anyone who brags about what they eat, how many what grams are in it, or how much fiber. OMG. Shut up.

5. Oh, fuck it. Anyone who brags, period. I remain irritated and baffled by anyone who thinks that what I do reflects on or affects them in any way, and I remain equally irritated and baffled by anyone who thinks that what they do affects me.

Life is a balance between knowing that the world was created for you, and that you are but a grain of sand in the cosmos. Some people lean too far one way, and don’t have enough of the other.

I’m really crabby this morning. I think I need to go live in a cave until I can better tolerate humanity.

I absolutely loathe the Wake Up With Al show on the Weather channel. I absolutely hate it.

All I want is the weather. Just a forecast so I know while I’m getting dressed what I should wear. Instead I get jovial Roker and two lame co-hosts making ridiculous segments out of nothing (Let’s see where the Weather made the FRONT PAGE of the local PAPER! Let’s interview a celebrity about HAIL!) and barely applicable weather.

I would tolerate the computerized voice during the local forecast 24-7 more than I would the Al Roker self-love extravaganza. Sweet holy crap I hate that freaking show. I want information. I do not want to be entertained. I miss the science and explanations in the morning - like, for example, the high today is going to be 57, but the high will be reached at 10am and then temperatures will plummet so it’s 45 when I leave work and pick up my kids? That’s important crap I need to know. I don’t give a flying clusterfuck what celebrities think about the weather.

Oh, the stupidity. The outright, ridiculous, horrific stupidity. I can’t even get the weather without infotainmentlebrity shite.

Back in my cave I go.

Hey there:

If you’re like me, you might be jaw-drop disgusted with the Eagles’ decision to sign dog-abusing fucknoid Michael Vick to a 2 year contract. If it weren’t abject cruelty, I’d hope a dog bites him on the ass every day for the rest of his life, but that would be bad for the dog. The poor dog would end up being euthanized for taking a chomp out of an asshat who truly deserves it.

So perhaps you’re repulsed by the decision, and are looking for another team to root for.

May I suggest the Steelers? While green is a fabulous color, black is even better- everything goes with black. The Steelers are conveniently located in the same state, so it’s not like you have to go far, and who can get tickets anyway? And here’s the kicker (HAH!): once up on a time, they were the same team! So except for the part where the Steelers don’t have under contract any marginally remorseful felons with a propensity toward profiting over the outright cruel abuse of animals, it’s not all that different!

Come on over: we have great accessories, too. And even more silly accents! All you have to do is be able to spell “Roethlisberger” when you’re three sheets to the wind n’at.

Come ahn dahn,

For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB).

Dear Apple:

Suck it.

I am so appalled I can’t even articulate aside from, ‘Bite me, you wanking assmonkeys.’ This is how you treat loyal customers?

I say again: suck it.

It is against the law from this day forward for there to be a thunderstorm the Monday after Spring forward. So sayeth we, the residents of my house, who were all awake from 4:00 am onward.

That is all.

Pass the coffee, please. 

After all that hyperventilating, we have about 4 inches with another 4 to fall today. But I walked to the 6:46 train behind my house, and had the most relaxing commute. I knew the weather was going to get in my way so I didn’t worry about how I was going to get to work, and even though the train takes more than an hour, I was only 20 minutes late to work. Ahh. Train commuting is so great. Especially with an ebook reader.

Tonight I’m staying in the city for a fiction reading, and then I head home on the train - another relaxing hour or so. If only the train was a viable option on days when it’s not snowing like crazy.

And of course, half my office is out today because of the snow.

The weekend was marvelous - we went to Doylestown for a birthday party (I’m still full from the food) and did our very favorite thing: drove on winding roads through rural NJ and PA, there and back. I cross stitched obscenities and the ipod rejoiced that it wasn’t playing the Wiggles nonstop, and we relaxed.

Even though I’m up to my ears in a million different stressful things, I’m happy.
