stream of con-shuss-ness

here goes:

1. the contractor is driving me up a wall. he's the worst communicator in the world. the painters are doing a shitty job, the house has sat stagnant (read: NO work has been done) for days now and we're supposed to move in 25 days. Count them, 25. and that's not just a hope, that's a need -- our lease is up in 25 days. i'm irritated. well, insanely pissed is more like it, but i'll go with irritated.

2. paying rent and a mortgage at the same time makes me want to have husband run over my foot with the car. because i think that would be less painful. refer to point #1 to remedy point #2.

3. what's with this damn weather?

4. i went to the gym last night for the first time in XX weeks. yay me. it was awesome.

5. there's no way that my house will be the way i want it to be when i move in. even if you've renovated to the studs and started again, made a design board for each room and had it all mapped out, things change. my mind does anyway. i need to see it, feel it, live in it before making some of these decisions. it just takes time to decorate well. period. i need to remind myself that every freaking day.

6. i miss woxy.

7. i need to remind myself that i'm still young. but when i hear college kids talk about what year they were born, it makes me want to vomit.

8. my brother is great. people think we look more alike the older we get. whatev. we have similar personality traits, but sometimes i think he should be more like me and i should be more like him. you know, the best of both worlds.

9. husband of the year in 2010? mine.

10. i need to simp.li.fy. holy crap, i cannot wait until we are in our house and we no longer have to look through boxes for things we need.

11. the following would be an awesome scenario: me, husband, beagle, west coast, palm trees, sunshine, approx. 78 degrees, good coffee, good music, croissant, pool, beach, adorable bathing suit in a tomato-red that magically makes me look like elle mcpherson, stylin' beach bag, aviators, corally-pink nail polish, fresh flowers, pineapple from hawaii, perfect sun hat, clothing/accessories by milly, tori burch, kate spade, calypso and other equally classic/girly design houses, an inspiring book, lip gloss, spf, and not a care in the world. i'm sure there's more i could add, but this is getting long.

12. my meeting tonight was canceled.

13. i wish my cousin was fully healed like nothing had ever happened that day she was in the delivery room.

14. i wonder if my car makes me feel old?

15. this clementine is gooooood.

16. what?! 3:28?! already?

17. did i mention my meeting tonight was canceled?

18. damn, it feels good to be a gangster.
