The office

I finally got an office. It’s an awesome office. It used to be a closet, but now? It’s all mine.

I even have a window view. If you look out my door, down the hall to Sabrina’s office I can see, quite clearly, the window reflecting on the glass wall of her office. See?

I’ve made it. I’m thinking I feel not at all that different than Barack, that first day he walked into his office.

Doncha think?

Dearest dad

You’re still here, in my heart, in my head, in every sense of my life. I always think of you, and when I do, you’re still here, still near.

Happy birthday, dearest dad. I love you.

Lara

Inauguration

I’m really happy and all that we have something to celebrate. But after watching the train ride covered on CNN, and listening to all the security (in addition to the LOCATION of all the security), I’m kinda thinking, did we really have to spend ALL THOSE millions on this train trip. ’cause there’s a man outside my building and he has no food, and I’ve given him lots of sandwiches. But, it’s still not enough. And, like what about New Orleans? So, really? Did we have to spend all that money? What about just super luxury flight to D.C. Wouldn’t have that worked? And then maybe, someone else could have benefitted from those millions. Advanced thought, no? What’s your idea? (post below)

I may be fat…but I’m alive

So Thursday, as my legs pumped furiously on the eliptical and I saw my reflection in the window, I was thinking” out damn cellulite, out!” But then, as the TV flashed the images of the Hudson River filled people escaping a ditched plane, I doubted, the women in 16B was thinking, “if only I had lost that 10 pounds.” So in the end, I’m thinking a little cellulite really doesn’t matter much at all. What doesn’t matter to you?

That DAMN light

So, I am sure that I am not the only one, who at 3AM, finds that stupid light is shining right in their eyes. But, upon second thought, I doubt that anyone has discovered the perfect solution for resolution. So, I am sharing, with you, internet, the piece de resistance in covering up that FUCKING converter box.
