Two in one day!

So I've resisted Twitter or tweeting or whatever.  I do have an account but only so I can follow certain celebs (NPH, Kevin Smith, Eddie Izzard, etc.).  I've decided I'm going to give in and Tweet once in a while but it's not going to be the traditional tweeting you might expect.  In case you're interested my twitter is @Uhlisa

I'm going to start tomorrow with my (monthly) trip to Raleigh.  We'll see how this goes.  I may grow weary of it and quit. 

Vegan Chic

I've met more vegetarians in my time in S.C. then (than? I'm so bad at that one) I did in 7+ years in Los Angeles. Last night my newest veggie friend and I went to see a movie (Kick-Ass which kicked ass) and then got dinner after.  She got the black bean burger. I got the mahi fish tacos, natch.  I love burgers so much that black beans seem like a sacrilege to me.  Now I enjoy a good turkey burger which some burger purists would scoff at.  I have respect for vegetarians in that they are truly able to stick to convictions.  I've never been able to stick to anything.  I just can't comprehend a life without a nice, juicy cheeseburger (made of dead, bloody cow) every once in a while.

I'm alright

Things are fine. I got through that overwhelming bit and am doing better.  Work is still, well, a pain but nothing I can't handle.  We'll see how I feel when it's closer to the day we have to (temporarily) move out of our building for the summer.  Man that is going to be such a headache.

The weather here has been pretty great.  It's been in the low 80s and actually cool at night which is fantastic.  Usually by this time of the year it's already in the 90s with icky humidity.  So I'm truly enjoying the weather right now.  I think last year we had an actual spring too so maybe this place isn't as bad as I've made it out to be.

I'm headed up to NC this weekend for more jewelry-making fun.  I'm really looking forward to that.  I don't love the drive but I always have such a great time when I'm there.

Overwhelmed

Work is annoying.  Work is annoying because of the many changes that we're going through, etc.  Changes that aren't for the better and are, for some reason, making everyone cranky.  Me included. 

Plus I've been away from my home, my room, MY BED, for 14 days and counting.  I'm thrilled to be able to dog-sit for my cousin while she's on a much-deserved vacation.  But 15 days away from my bed is too long. I love my bed. I have a very comfortable bed.  When I'm in it, I feel like it's hugging me.  Plus I love my cousins dogs but they're VERY needy.  My dogs can get a little needy but they are nothing compared to my cousin's dogs.  If you even glance at them they pop up and run over to you expecting an hour of petting unless you tell them to go away.  Poor dogs.  I bet they miss my cousin's kids.  Oh and my cousin has like 10 channels in her bedroom and they don't make much sense to me.  There are the standards like ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and CW.  Then you also get Hallmark, Fox sports I think and two or three others that I can't remember.  What's weird is that half the channels are cable channels but they don't include standard stuff like USA or Weather or any of the news channels.  Sometime I'll have to ask her about that. 

The semester is about over and I can't get myself to do work.  Plus we're supposedly going to move out of our building for the summer which is going to be the biggest pain in the ass ever so I'm not looking forward to that either.

I kind of wish someone would walk up to me and slap me across the face while shouting, "SNAP OUT OF IT!" like in Moonstruck.  Where's Cher when you need her?

Genius!

OK Go really does have the best videos.  Plus I really like their music too.  I needed this today.
