good thing i work alone

The song combined with hope and a baby squirrel made me spontaneously burst into tears. 

A Couple of Changes

Not going to lie but I'm kind of over blogging. By blogging, I mean the style of blogging I've been doing since 2007 - longer, personal stories that I weave into posts for my little spot on the internet. If I'm to be honest with you guys, when I go to post something all I can think of is "Who cares?"

But at the same time, I really love my little spot on the internet and I don't want to stop posting. So instead of long, personal stories that are occasionally comprehensible, I think I'm going to do more of a micro-blogging experiment. I looked at Tumblr and I'm attracted to something like that, but I don't really like working in Tumblr, so I made my Blogger as much like Tumblr as possible.

Here's where I ask you to bear with me with all the changes.

I'm not giving up, I'm just changing it up.

if you don't understand my new tshirt i'm scared for our friendship

Fuck yeah Snorg Tees

totally serious: got any advice?

Today I am 29 years old. And while most people don't have any idea it's my birthday unless I say "It's my birthday!" (which I kind of feel lame doing but I've already done it twice) I'm now following "It's my birthday!" with "Got any advice?"

Since almost everyone is older than me (not in a bad way, just stating the factoids) I'd like to know if you have any advice for this 29 year old? Pretend your 29 year old self is sitting across from you asking for advice, what would you tell that person?

please tell me i'm not the only one

Here's a story I'd like to call "I'm an Asshole". I have no problem admitting it, because I am, in fact, an asshole.

I have a new passion in my life. It's called "All Sport Socks" by Reebok. My first encounter with these Reebok socks was last year when I found a pair taped together for $2.97 on clearance at DICK'S. [DICK'S is really the name of the sports store. See?] They were taped together with packing tape, no box or label and one pair was zebra print the other was circles and I'm a sucker for cute, weird socks. I just thought totally cool! and I bought them, not realizing that knee socks are SO FUCKING AWESOME and since that epiphany I've been looking for more ever since but I was looking for knee socks not realizing Reebok calls them All Sport Socks. I happen to find a three pack on clearance at DICK'S yesterday while shopping, the only problem is they are annoyingly black and gold. While I love crazy socks, I really would appreciate just a plain black pair and not have people think I'm buying my socks based on my local sports teams. [Go Pens!]

I bought them anyway. Enjoy the flannels.

If you've never been in DICK'S then I'll tell you that the store is sectioned off and in those are brand subsections. Since the socks are Reebok branded, that means I was in or around the Reebok area of the Women's section. This is important to remember the brand Reebok.

So I have my socks happily in hand when I turn around and this disaster is staring me in the face. 

And I burst out laughing. 

This is where I ask you, my readers that are of or around the same age or maturity level as I to tell me that I am not the only one that thinks this is hysterical. In fact, it's so funny that it's the new wallpaper on my phone so every time I wake my phone up from the black screen I see that picture. Every time I check the time I see that picture. That picture gives me so much joy in my life.

If you don't think it's funny, then 1. You must be all PC and/or 2. You may not know that people [Americans?] have shortened the term Retarded to ReeRee. Does Reebok know this? By this sign, I would say no. However, they did have other signs that said "ReeTrain" and "ReeSomething" and I got what Reebok was doing with those ads, but the ReeRun just jumped out at me as being completely wrong. [Dare I say Reetarded?].

I'd like to thank Reebok for making my day, I know you guys were being clever with this ad concept but perhaps you should give me a ring next time you hold an advertising focus group. I'd be representing the active girl with the maturity level of a twelve year old and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
