It's useful being top banana in the shock department.

Pathetically, nothing made me really happy yesterday. Today, its been dreary and makes me want to curl up and pull the covers over my head and sleep for days. That would make me happy. However, as I still have four hours left of work, that is not an option.

And the five:


1.) I visited my old friend Abby today. I haven't seen her since she surprised me at dinner by waltzing in, unceremoniously unzipping her coat and letting her five-month preggo belly let me know she was expecting and said, "I want to die." Shocking. She is one of those awesome friends that I don't see very often, but as soon as I do, I am instantly sad that I don't get to see her more. We worked together for years, had lunch every day, our boyfriends at the time loved each other, we ran around Paris together and were mistaken for sisters by numerous tables we were waiting on. Anyways, she greeted me at the door, holding this small child. It was insane. I was so happy that she wasn't in super mommy mode (her baby was toddling around with a lighter in her hand, upon warning Abs, she just says, Oh, yeah, she loves it. She also told the story of being two weeks past her due date, and some old man in a store commented that she must be carrying twins. To which she responded with FUCK YOU and started crying. haha. I really do love her. ) This is getting long-winded and quite lovey dovey but, her baby is awesome and when we were talking, abby and I were laughing and the baby started mimicking us, wrinkling her nose and screaming laughing. So funny. And this baby knows sign language for milk and poop, among other things. And this is awesome, she lives in Andy Warhol's house that he grew up in, and all the original EVERYTHING is in there, like plumbing, etc. So it looks awesome and was cool to think of the history. It really made my day to hang out with her and to have a friendship like that, where even if we haven't seen each other in a long time, we just click back like we saw each other yesterday. It made me very happy.

2.) I bought a Grow-a-Skull toy on Sunday. It says, "So cute, I could die" underneath. I hung it in my cubicle. So now all the ad services people thing I am super goth.

3.) I just met the new cleaning lady at the office. I was introduced to her and she had rubber gloves on so couldn't shake my hand. So she gave me the biggest hug ever. So cute. Her name is Miss Patty.

Only three things made me happy today. I would like to say that the night is still young, but I have a half hour left of work and am going to go home and do that whole forget the world bit I was talking about earlier.
