On irons in the fire, fish to fry, and full plates

I’m not sure how to account for my silence, other than to say that life has taken interesting turns as of late. No coke and strippers to speak of, no last minute flights to Heathrow, and no peeing on plastic sticks while swearing to God that you will never, ever make fun of ugly people again. All of that would be beautifully bloggable, and sadly, my week has not been. Busy, upside down, full of drama and news, but none of it on the record. At least not the record that remains evergreen on the Web long after you and I are nothing more than dust.

I come home most nights completely exhausted, have a glass of wine and completely numb out courtesy of Access Hollywood or whatever Law and Order will hand carry me to a dramatic conclusion without making me think. I’m not taking care of myself. The fridge currently holds a case of Diet Coke, beer, ketchup, hot sauce, and half of a green pepper. The freezer contains three veggie burgers and – absolutely no lie – prepackaged hors d’oeuvres I bought two years ago for a snowed-out Oscar party. My office holiday festivities are tonight, and I have yet to try on the dress that arrived three weeks ago for the event. Have not yet tried it on. Not sure my shoes fit. T minus five hours.

I also killed a plant this week and cannot vouch for the exact location of one of my cats. Or the last time I saw her.

Please send help. Or at the very least, some buns for these veggie burgers.

    Aw, I’d send you my buns if I had your address. Wait, that didn’t come out right…

    I feel your pain. I haven’t been home in the evenings every night this week and won’t till Monday. Tis the season I guess. And my freezer only has a bag of broccoli and box of waffles in it.

    Quite glad you haven’t been peeing on plastic sticks though, you don’t have to apologize for the ugly comments.

    Are you sure “buns” are really what you need in your life? Hm.

    You’re not the only one who’s gone silent these days. I try to post at least twice a week, but I’ve noticed that my contemporaries have all jumped ship as of late. It’s the holidays, it’s winter, it’s life. People will probably start posting again around New Year’s when all the end-of-the-year stress is but a memory and they will all vow to post more.

    I hate off-the-record drama.

    Your cat is probably over at my house…participating in a foreign exchange program with one of ours…given that there’s one out of our four who seems to be AWOL.

    I know that place of frenzy and frustration! I am sending help virtually!!!

    Sending good energy your way. This time of year seems to turn everything upside down just in time for a new year to begin. Good luck.

    Lady, it’s time to crack open those frozen hors d’oeuvres with that glass of wine. Puff pastry could salvage the world’s woes, I’m sure of it. Chin up!

    Just say the word, and I’m there. =-)

    I hate it when life hands you a whole bunch of dramatic and/or stressful things that are incredibly un-bloggable. I mean, where’s the justice? Why can’t I bitch about this publically? WHERE’S MY SUPPORT, GODDAMMIT!?

    So…sympathetic for thee and hoping it improves. Insomuch as a random Internet stranger can give, I send you hope and love.

    I think it has to do with spies. Am I right?

  16. Posted 12.15.08 | Permalink

    This secret stuff sounds very Don Draper-ish. Are you really someone else pretending to be Kris?

    This time of year just basically sucks. My last post was about athletic shoes. Yeah. Hope you had a good weekend and went to the grocery store!

    I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who has unopened packages sitting in their house. One of them is even stuff for me and I’m just to lazy to cut the Amazon box open.

    The other ones are presents for people. And if I open them, I have to wrap them.

    Look on the brightside, you still have plenty of wine…

    OH. MY. GOD. Just the other day, while waiting to order a slice of pizza, I turned to my coworker and made this random comment: man that woman is ugly.

    I’m sorry, it’s true! If a gerbil and a lizard mated, this would be the offspring.

    I have bread and no burgers, veggie or otherwise. We should hang.

  22. Posted 12.18.08 | Permalink

    go shopping…get food…cats always come back for food.

    Glasses of wine and Access Hollywood for the win surely.

    I happened on this because of ETK—and this post made me spit out my coke on my keyboard. Brilliant and as if you read the ticker accross my mind that I don’t share with anyone. Thank you
