Update

Remember when I told you about this boy???


Please hold while I gather myself for this never before discussed Charlie Girl topic...


Well, I think its about time that I share with my little bloggity blog an update about him... Because, while over the past couple of weeks it has been too cold to go out at night to blog and I was a totally lazy lifetime watchin' bum last week... there is a bit more to the story as to why my posts have been random and my life seems rather dull.



That boy happened to become my boyfriend! Yup, that's right! Turns out, he doesn't care that my sense of normalcy may not really be what is actually normal... and he doesn't care that when I "make a delicious dinner", I do it with all the wrong tools and it comes from a frozen bag. He even thinks all that stuff is cute!



I know, sometimes it surprises me too!



This weekend we are going back to his hometown, population 4,800 to meet some of the fam.



As you know, with me, this presents of world of opportunity for me to do something incredibly dumb... We'll see if after this weekend I have another update for you about my new boyfriend and I breaking up, because he no longer "thought it was cute"!

Surprise Program

Last night I was laying in bed flipping through the channels and I stopped to check out what crazy chick flick was on Lifetime Movie Network and much to my surprise, it was show all about weed!

I am not now, nor have I ever been a pothead (focker), but it was so funny that it was on a network that is so... not... cheeba!

That is the other funny thing... they kept referring to it as random street names. They would cut to a Doctor in his lab coat and he would bust out "So, this young man smoked a spliff!"!

I did find out one interesting fact, though... Do you know that in Amsterdam pot is actually not legal?? I am sure everyone has heard about the coffee shops in Amsterdam, where you can purchase whatever your little heart desires... but it is indeed illegal, it has just been decriminalized and tolerated because of money, tourism, etc.

Man... just when I thought I was going to watch the wrath of scorned woman dramatically play out... they go and surprise me with this!

I would like to also point out, (as if I really need to?!) I was watching Lifetime, because my week of unmotivated lamo blamo-ness is not yet over.

Poop In A Group

I love organization and cleanliness. I am the girl that has a spotlessly clean apartment and car and when I leave work for the day, my desk is the same way... I make a "to do" list at the end of each day to make sure all open items are addressed. I even make little boxes next to each item and get a little thrill each time I check one off as complete.

But, recently, I am a friggin disaster! I was sitting in a meeting today, just thinking to myself that I needed to get my life in order! My apartment, for me, is a total mess. My "to do" list is random scribbles of partial messages and doodles.

The problem is, however, that I can't seem to really get motivated to get myself together! In fact, right after I thought earlier that I needed to get my life in order, I also thought that I should treat myself to a day off!

I had absolutely nothing to do last night... so it was a perfectly good night to clean my apartment from top to bottom, right? Wrongo, instead, I gave myself a pedicure and then went and saw a movie at a great little old school theater in Des Moines. Tonight... once again, absolutely nothing to do... and here I am sitting in Starbucks, sipping delicious decaf passion tea and chattin on my old bloggity blog!

I think maybe it is because I am moving and I am totally over my apartment and its crappy parking... or, maybe it is because I am a total laz-o... who knows?!

Mail Call

I could not run up the stairs to my apartment fast enough after I checked my mail last night. The second I saw those adorably gigantic letters of my name, scrawled across the entire front of the envelope, I knew it was my new friend Dan!


Seven pages of hand written encouragement!


When I decided to embark on this pen pal relationship, I never knew he would have so much to say! I think I hit the pen pal jackpot!

Don't be jeal!

Monkey Business

Did you guys see the monkey commercial during the Super Bowl, when they parked too close to the guys car on the way into work??



I thought that was pretty adorable, because I totally love monkeys.... and monkeys dressed in work clothes... are you kidding me?! Love it!



But, today, when I walked outside to go to work to find that apparently that same damn monkey lives in building, I didn't think it was so cute.



In fact, if I didn't have an important meeting to attend (Please read: if it wouldn't make me look like a total nut job) I would have called in so I could wait and to tell that stupid ass how to park! Man, I sure do love to give out parking advice, huh?!



You will be super happy to know, though, that in one month I will no longer have to post about my apartment parking lot! Because... wait for it.... I am moving!!!!! Yahhhooooooo!



I seriously can't wait. The place I am moving into has a two car attached garage and I am pretty sure that I am more excited about that garage than I am about anything else. I am a little bummed that it wasn't this month, because I sure would have loved it when it was -9 the other day...


But, just think how happy I am going to be this summer when my big ol' lion hair doesn't fro on my way to my car!

Hello Monday - You Are Stupid

Do you think it was a coincidence that while I was purchasing stupid Decaf Coffee at the gas station this Monday morning on my way out of town for a meeting that I spilled it all over the counter. And the worker. And the credit card machine.

I don't... I think it was my body's way of telling me to eff off and give it the real stuff.

Where In The Hell?!?!

Have I been??? I know... Missing In Action.

Here is the deal. First, I got rid of Internet in my apartment and frankly it is just too cold to leave again after I get cleaned up from the gym!

What, so no bloggity blog till summer, you ask?! Nah... I will man up more frequently and isn't it about time for spring already anyway?!?

January is such a totally dumb month!! Out of all of them, this one I can do without. P.S. I am sorry if this is your birthday month. My beef is with January, not you. K?

Next, is I have recently gone through rehab. Not like checked into Betty Ford Clinic rehab... but the withdrawals I was having at the Charlie Girl Clinic weren't far off...

I didn't need to kick a meth habit and I haven't been doing bumps in the bathroom... I am wholesome girl, for crying out loud. But, as you know, I have practically been taking in coffee like it was being administered through a mainline IV for about 26 years. I am pretty sure I started when I was three or so...

Yesterday marked the end of week two. I don't mean to be dramatic, but I am not kidding, there were some nights that it hurt to lay my head on the pillow and my face hurt, even!

I was trying to kick it cold turkey, but I was a total failure at withdrawal... so I had to allow myself a cup of hot green tea in the mornings. Yesterday, though, my regular tea bags were tossed and replaced with decaf, as was my coffee.

So, anyway. Now that my brain has stopped hating me and finally has seemed to stop hurting and I have a new resolve to sack up, slap on some gloves and head out to blog, maybe I can manage to say hello a little more frequently than once every two weeks.

K, Bye, Miss you!
