Oh M You are the best...

I wish this was my backyard, and my set up for a dinner party.  And while  we are at it, I wish i was a gourmet cook and I was amazing at taking pictures.

Seriously…

I think I may have the worst luck with cars ever.  So I am pulling up to the Junior League building with a wealth of cookbooks in theback of my car that I need to unload.  As I attempt to turn my car off and remove the key the remote portion of my key comes out but not the actual key.  I am standing there going WTF Mate?  Could this day get any worse?  After several attempts to fanigal it out or to have it start my car…I freak out and call my parents.  Because that is what I do….don ‘t judge.  At which point my Dad says “I thought we talked about getting AAA” which I have not done yet because I am lazy.   Of course when he gets there he manages to get it started (you would think that the whole moving it to neutral and back to park would work, but no, it’s locking and unlocking the doors, something I did not think of).  Off to the Nissan Dealership I go, it’s a faulty key.  They get me a new one no harm no foul other than the hour and half of my life wasted waiting for them to program the new key.  Oh and the fact that when I get home the remote doesn’t actually work…..back to the dealership I go to waste another hour of my life in an uncomfortable chair.  At least I had a book in my over-sized giant I call my purse. 

I'm in Love with this Poem...

Leaving is not enough; you must

stay gone. train your heart

like a dog. change the locks

even on the house he’s never

visited. you lucky, lucky girl.

you have an apartment

just your size. a bathtub

full of tea. a heart the size

of Arizona, but not nearly

so arid. don’t wish away

your cracked past, your

crooked toes, your problems

are papier mache puppets

you made or bought because the vendor

at the market was so compelling you just

had to have them. you had to have him.

and you did. and now you pull down

the bridge between your houses,

you make him call before

he visits, you take a lover

for granted, you take

a lover who looks at you

like maybe you are magic. make

the first bottle you consume

in this place a relic. place it

on whatever altar you fashion

with a knife and five cranberries.

don’t lose too much weight.

stupid girls are always trying

to disappear as REVENGE. and you

are not stupid. you loved a man

with more hands than a parade

of beggars, and here you stand. heart

like a four-poster bed. heart like a canvas.

heart leaking something so strong

they can smell it in the street.

Reasons I love October.

1.       THE MLB Post Season…Twins Please do me a favor and beat the tigers today and make all my dreams come true. 

2.       All the amazing pumpkin flavored things that seem to pop up.

3.       Breast Cancer Awareness and all the Pink products that come out.  What can I say I am a sucker for pink?

4.       Halloween Decorations.  They just make me happy and remind me of college when my roommate used to make it look like Halloween had thrown up in our house.  Those were the days.

5.       And last but not least the way fall smells and feels.   You can't beat the crisp feeling it has.

 

Computer Malfunction

So my computer just managed to set itself to show everything as Friday.  I think that means it wants me to have a three day weekend.  It must know I am in desperate need of one.
