my new thing at work is getting magic flute voice around customers. i'm disgusting. my voice just transforms into high pitches.

apparently the shuffle loves the shins and sufjan stevens. that's ok cuz i do too!
my new koala theme is in honor of my friend sabrina from high school who now resides in australia. she's preggers and due in may. she's my oldest and dearest friend and i wish her all the best.
so jon made me do 6 shots of whiskey tonight. and by "made" i mean that i suggested we turn wii bowling into a drinking game and he agreed even though i haven't played in like a week and he plays the shit EVERY FUCKING DAY!
the night ended with a bad episode of lost on the DVR and wyatt running out of the bedroom with my bra in his mouth. did i mention that it only took me about 30 minutes to finish the 6th shot? i can't even feel my fingers as i type.
nighty night jen. nighty night.
wouldn't it just figure that the day of wyatt's neutering it has to become a wintery blizzard? i was really hoping that by some grace of god things would work out easily, but let's remember this is my life we're talking about here.
after waiting 2 hours for a cab, i called alex to tell him we could have a doggy play date since i obviously wouldn't ever make it to the vet. instead, like the awesome friend that he is, he offers to drive us there. of course the cab calls as alex is pulling up to my house. normally i would just reschedule the appointment, but my vet who technically doesn't work for the practice anymore, was filling in today. she's awesome and i completely trust her to remove my dogs balls. he also had an umbilical hernia that needed to be fixed so it wasn't your standard 10 minute procedure. i'm very protective of the dude so i felt as if i needed to get this done by my favorite vet in the whole wide world.
so after his procedure i was told to let him rest for a while and come back. i killed some time at best buy, ate some chipotle. i'm still regretting that, but there's slim pickins to eat around there, plus it's near my work so i'm always eating the same shit. i mean jesus, it's the middle of chicago and there's mcdonald's, chipotle, panera bread....where am i? the suburbs?
we finally made it back home (again after an awesome ride from alex). thankfully i shoveled the sidewalk before i left so there wasn't 6 inches of snow on the ground. i figured wyatt would need to go to the bathroom before heading in but all he could do was sit down in the snow. the doctor did tell me to ice his empty ballsack since his balls were so huge, but i doubt that's what she had in mind. i kid you not people, this dog had some big balls. trust me, i was there for the whole thing. she must have asked me at least 3 times if i wanted to save them. she even offered to fish them out of the garbage and preserve them. i told her that i would rather jon be at least semi-conscious when he come home to see wyatt.
so now we're warm and safe at home. i've made the executive decision not to go to class because i really would rather be home with my dog and my man instead of blocking sideways gusts of snowy wind from my face. excuse me while i go play some wii.
last wednesday i got a t.b. test so i can student teach in the spring. the day after i noticed a sore throat and a weak cough. i started feeling pressure on my chest. the t.b. test was negative, but my symptoms kept getting worse. after a miserable night sleep on sunday (and not just because the bears lost) i went to the doctor who declared i had a case of "juicy bronchitis". i haven't had bronchitis since i was like 10 years old so i don't know where this came from. whatevs. i left work early yesterday, skipped class last night, got some free antibiotics, got some 'tussin with codeine...you know...livin' large. although i think the cough syrup gives me headaches. what's the fun of legitimate drugs if you have to take more drugs to counteract the side effects. i've never had codeine before though so who knows.
so today i work on homework, catch up on zelda, try to stay out of the cold. i've never had pneumonia and would like to keep it that way. it's so cold here that pipes for our laundry on the back porch froze so no laundry. that's pretty effing cold. i feel better after a day of antibiotics and some good sleep though. can't say the same for jon who was chased from the bedroom by my fits of coughing in the middle of the night. poor guy.
What was the one toy you wanted as a kid that your parents never bought you?

really successful people, you know, the martha stewarts/oprahs/nancy pelosis must never sleep. how else do you find time in the day? if i could sleep less i think i could be more productive. the other day i was pissed that it's winter and i have to put lotion on because my skin is cracked like the sahara in mid summer. putting on lotion takes time! fixing your own food takes time! ugh.
pffft. by checking the qotd. natch.
