Just an update:

My relationship of 7+ years is over. 

It feels fucking fantastic when someone tells you that they don't love you and that they probably never wanted to really be with you in the first place, but that they liked the way you treated them and that you paid attention to them.

Also, it rocks when you are dumped on Valentine's Day.  Really, that's the best.

Bask in the glory of her eccentricity.  Does anyone know where I can buy this movie on DVD?  It's such a classic and I've love to see it again.  The next time I go out somewhere where dancing is involved, I am going to dance like this.

Does anyone know if you can have items from Amazon UK shipped to the States?  I MUST have the Little Miss Jocelyn Video.

Picture from my trip to Philadelphia last week.  This one was taken at Monk's, a Belgian cafe type of place.  Very rude bartender and hostess.  We waited over 2 hours for a table before just going over to the White Dog Cafe instead.  Fun city, but incredibly dirty.  I had forgotten how dirty it is.

Video: Show us a video that makes you want to dance.

One of my favorite Jeff Buckley songs,

Now, imagine this...me and Blair, at my old house in Cedarcroft (Baltimore), singing this song through the beauty of puppetry...our puppet being this beaded owl thing my mom got me from Mexico.  There was a time when Blair drove down from Delaware to visit us every weekend, and every weekend we would engage in this activity.  It never got old.  I miss Blair.  Now he lives in New York, like everyone else.  It seems like most people I know live in either DC or New York.

Nicole decided to fly down for the weekend to visit us.  It was a last minute keep of thing.  We're looking forward to it and are busy cleaning the house right now to prepare for her arrival.  While she's here, I'm going to try out a new recipe, cardamon lime sweet rolls.  Like cinnamon buns, only with different flavors.  It looked good in the magazine, so we shall see.

Exactly one week from today, I'll be in Philadelphia visiting Andrew and Chad.  Yay!  If only I could drive.  I love driving and can drive about 10 hours in a day.  I hate flights.  Getting to the airport on time always makes me so anxious...and then you just sit around waiting for hours and it's all stuffy and it smells like nasty airport food.  No fun.

Time to finish cleaning...

Yeah, so I'm on Facebook now.  I've actually been on it for a few months, but just last night I got my act together and made a profile and all that good stuff.  Check out my page, add me, internet stalk me, whatever.

I perforated my eardrum.  It sucks.  I have an appointment with an ENT today.  Blah.

We saw "Juno" last night.  You should all go see it-- it was sweet, tender, and surprising.  The chick in it reminds me so much of my friend, Kelli.  Also, Allison Janney is hilarious in it.

I guess I should shower or something to get ready for this appointment.

I love love love corny 80s music.  It always stabs at my heart and reminds me of being a teenager and listening to "total eclipse of the heart" over and over again in my bedroom.  Ha!  I heard this gem on XM the other day.  I had totally forgotten about it, but now it's in my head in a continuous loop.

The video sucks, but what can you do.

I'm cooking curried zucchini soup in my new crockpot.  It smells oh so good.

One of my 2008 resolutions was to drink 8 glasses of water a day.  So far I've been succeeding, but I have to pee a lot.  Eh.  I've also given up soda, which causes me to have horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches in the afternoon.  I'm hoping those will subside.

Deanie out.

Happy New Year and all that.  I hope you all have a fabu-fabula 2008.

I, for one, am happy to put 2007 to bed.  To bed, I said!

Now it's off to shower, pretty up, and go out for an enormous dinner and some carousing.

XoXo,
Adina

We are sitting in bed.  I am mooking on the laptop, S is reading.  The cats are doing their evening crazy rounds.  I am tired and I have a headache.

I hate how dry the air gets in the winter.  I have the humidifier on, but I swear it makes no difference.

S had the day off today, and I had some free time, so we went to lunch in Germantown.  We had a lovely time, and we were in the car, getting set to pull out from our parking spot on the street, when some crazy old woman hit my car.  Seriously, I think she was about 75% deaf.  When I got out of the car to make sure that she and her posse of old lady friends were ok, none of them could hear a word I was saying to them.  They INSISTED that we call the police, even though everyone was fine and both cars simply had scratches on them.  It was more annoying than anything else.

So now we are going to have to pay the deductible on one of our cars for the third time this year.  I don't know what is up with the drivers in Nashville-- this is the third accident (all not our fault) since we moved here.  Neither of us had ever been involved in any accidents before 2007.  Oh well, at least the damage is minor.  It may even be less than the deductible, who knows.

I have a Dr.'s appointment next week and I am so excited!  I'm nervous though, because this is the first time I'll have been to the Dr. in over a year.  I miss my doc in Baltimore: he was so nice and never made me feel bad for not listening to him.  Haha.  I have S to take care of me though, so I don't feel too bad about not seeing a primary care doc in a while.  I think I may get those allergy shots.  I was going to do them last year, but put it off because it was such a time commitment, but I definitely think my allergies are only getting worse.  I am so not made for this world.

I want to go on vacation.  Like now. 

Sleepy time now.
