Friday Feasting and then some.

September 30, 2005

It’s Friday, therefore we shall feast! Go here to play along.

Appetizer:
When was the last time you visited a hospital?

A couple months ago when I went for a check up and “fill” on my gastric band. It was so much fun! (Not.) The procedure was performed under fluoroscopy and afterwards I puked barium solution into the shrubs next to the parking lot.
Soup:
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how ambitious are you?

Generally, about a 7 – I do like to succeed and achieve things in my life, so I work at it. I’ve also been known to maintain an even higher level of ambition for extended periods if I have a particular goal in mind.

Salad:
Make a sentence using the letters of a body part. (Example: (mouth) My other ukelele tings healthily.)

Hmmm… ELBOW!

Everyone loves bitchy old women.

(Admit it, you know you do!) :yes:

Main Course:
If you were to start a club, what would the subject matter be, and what would you name it?

The Nocturnal Creatives – and all the night-owl club members could discuss what they create after midnight and why they believe their energy peaks in the wee hours of the morning.

I guess it would be comforting to know that I’m not alone in my nocturnal tendencies.

Dessert:
What color is the carpet/flooring in your home?

It’s all different shades of natural wood flooring throughout the house – except for the main bathroom which has white vinyl flooring.

In school news: To the best of my haphazard counting I only have about 20 actual teaching days left this semester, then I am done.

I can’t even begin to describe the euphoria, my friends.

The weirdest thing happened in therapy today. I am still in shock about it and I bet Dr. K is too.

We were about 15 minutes into the session when there was a knock on the door. We both looked at each other in surprise and then before Dr. K could get there, the door opened and a UPS man walked in! GAH!

Apparently the receptionist was away from the front desk and this guy decided to just start opening doors. He was either too stupid to realize he was interrupting a therapy session or he just didn’t care – he had office supplies to deliver, dammit!

Dr. K quickly looked back over his shoulder at me, partially to make sure I was alright and partially to verify that this was actually happening and he himself wasn’t losing his mind. The UPS man stood there like a schmuck and asked for a signature on the delivery which (hilariously!) was for another business office down the hall.

I seriously thought Dr. K was going swear a blue streak, but he didn’t. I’ve never seen him look so pissed. He backed the guy out of the doorway and let him know in no uncertain terms that he had made a big mistake and it better not happen again. The man scurried off like a snivelling weasel with his little package.

Dr.K came back and sat down and we just looked at each other in disbelief. Then we started laughing because the whole thing was just so fucking absurd and surreal. I’m laughing now as I write this, but oh my God, can you imagine how awful that would have been we were discussing something difficult or painful when the UPS man came waltzing in?

Ah well. By next week locks will be installed, UPS supervisors will have been contacted, and all will be right in my therapeutic world again.

I’m just glad Dr. K is my shrink and not my gynecologist.
Hearin’ it: A bunch of flack over a statement by Bill Bennett that was taken out of context and made into a political issue. Sorry to disappoint you liberals out there, but people like Jessie Jackson and Charlie Rangel are the racists – Bennett is not.

Readin’ it: Nothing today. My brain needs a rest.

Lovin’ it: I made a new autumn wreath for the front door today and it’s very pretty!

Not lovin’ it: The garage construction/deconstruction/reconstruction of the Sucky Neighbors. It’s a long annoying story. Stay tuned for more details.
