Last night’s anniversaray festivities were fantastic! We got dressed up and went to Bamonte’s (great italian food). I wore 3 inch heels (bad idea) which resulted in mike carring me over his shoulder for a few blocks. We split a bottle of wine and our food was delicious! We drunkenly stumbled home, ate red velvet cupcakes from Crumbs and drank some fancy shmancy champagne that we got as a gift for our wedding!

The night ended with us watching Baby Mama and eating MORE cupcakes. It was wonderful.

Heyyyyyy, Mr. Anxiety! I hear you’re trying to creep back into my head and cripple my waking existence! I’m ready for you this time! I’m not afraid of you or your latent fears of nonbeing! I’m going to stop drinking coffee! I’m going to avoid situations that cause me unnecessary stress! I’m going to take up yoga again! Suck on that, my friend! Exclamations abound!

Exactly why I stopped drinking it. I’ve been coffee-free for 14 months and I feel SO MUCH BETTER. I was a wreck. Take a yoga class and make somebody go with you to be your buddy and push you to go! Also buy some meditation DVDs. You will not regret it.

I LIKE to think that I’m not the only person in her mid 20’s who lives paycheck to paycheck and doesn’t have a savings account. Anybody…?

zing!

I move five hundred clams from checking to savings every month. I’m trying to build up a little nest egg to use for a down payment on a house when the market really bottoms out, OR (option B) to pack one suitcase and move to New Zealand without telling anyone. Oops! I’ve said too much. It’s nice to have a little bit put aside so when things come up like “cat has urinary tract infection” or “buying year’s supply of contacts to widen the dating pool,” I’m covered. I don’t think you should worry about it though. I, on the other hand, really like the idea of liking New Zealand.

Maaaaannn… I gotta move out of the moneypit, aka NYC. But I don’t think that’s the real problem. Cutting down spending on makeup, clothes, bubble tea, and Lush MIGHT help. hmmm… MIGHT.

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings.’
3. There is a very fine line between ‘hobby’ and ‘mental illness.’
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person.  (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the  Ark.  A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it’s up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
