Peachy.

If you need to know how I'm doing... the answer is "peachy."

Just Peachy.

Consider Yourself Warned

If you wake me up at 6:30am because you need me to act as your therapist, I will not respond kindly. Allow me to set the parameters:

1. If you are my friend, then I am not speaking to you, because clearly-- your cares are my cares. HOWEVER, if I don't know you, and have a strictly professional relationship with you, I DON'T CARE, and I never will. So YES, I'm speaking to you.

2. I need my Diet Coke, as I believe I clearly state to anyone I meet. And at 7am, no- I'm sorry, I haven't had my Diet Coke. So back up off me.

3. I have a hard enough time trying to concentrate during "business" hours (which for me are 8am-11pm), so you can imagine how delightful I am at 6:30am. Go ahead, IMAGINE.

This, my friends, is how I'm feeling right now. And I have to go to a meeting at 1pm today and pretend as though I'm well rested and full of motivation. Perhaps this is where my dinner theater days come into play... thank god for minimal acting skillz.

Luckily, CVS had a sale on Diet Coke and I am well stocked. I've had no less than 6 cans so far... and I don't plan on stopping any time soon.

Deal.

P.S. I'm sorry, but don't you just LOVE the new Diet Coke commercials... "Sparkle"-- good lord, it makes me want to quit it all and take a Diet Coke break. In fact, I should be a paid spokeswoman for Diet Coke because I give them so much free advertising, it's loco.

P.P.S. Sara Ortega-- if you are reading this, I think you should go on "America's Next Top Model." And JW, you were right... the show IS fantastically addicting.

Baltimore, and Me

"I love you Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on my way to school.

Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me."
- Hairspray, the Musical

Never were words so true. Thank you, John Waters you genius, for this movie-turned-musical-turned-soon-to-be-remake-movie. With lessons of life in Baltimore (read: Baldimor), segregation, and town hussies... well, what's not to love?

I ask, of course, because I've recently become addicted to my "Hairspray" soundtrack... which is affecting my affinity for my hometown. It's like... I miss it. I miss Baltimore. And I likely will delete that sentence from my blog soon enough... but for now, I'll say it. I miss you, Baltimore!

So... how 'bout them O's???
