10:51 PM|if hoopty can spread the plea.....so can you...........


(think of it as my chance to get in on those dating blogs..... maybe those marriage blogs..... dare i hope for a baby blog??!?!?!?)

8:45 PM|it's amazing that i am not dating anyone....... isn't it? (of course, if you are or have a "prospect" in the tri-state area [no, quinn... that does not mean tri-anything] go ahead and ,email me with a bio and photo!!!)




(btw.... if you DO actually plan to send a swellegant guy in NJ my plea my photo... try this one)

8:23 PM|ah. friday night, finished 0.5 of the 1st bottle of merlot.... watching americas funniest videos....and fielding calls from mom while trying not to slur.

i should have gone to the open mic Stand Up Sushi tonight - maybe tomorrow.

7:37 PM|the move + no office anymore + sitting in the midst of 4 radios + my hearing thing that effs with me + frustration = erin guzzling the first of two bottles of merlot.

have a good friday. i am going to mope on my couch.

6:47 AM|friday five....


1. What size shoe do you wear?
nine. that's right ... nine... sometimes 9.5 or a 10


2. How many pairs of shoes do you own?
eh... probably about 60... but i wear only 3 or 4 pairs

3. What type of shoe do you prefer (boots, sneakers, pumps, etc.)?
eh.... depends upon my mood. pretty much stick with flat loafers for comfort, but have been known to wear heels, boots, sneaks, etc.

4. Describe your favorite pair of shoes. Why are they your favorite?
birkenstocks. comfort. very laid back shoes

5. What's the most you've spent on one pair of shoes?
$175... heels from Medici. killed me. the heel broke off the shoe at one point. lovely craftsmanship, eh?

1:05 AM|ah.... tuckered out. worked late tonight.... and i have to be in by 6am later this morning. a LOT of work to be done and on TOP of that we're moving. not to another office building but into a different section of the building. this would be okay except i am losing my office.

*sigh*

but then again everyone is losing their office and we are moving into a more open space.

this means fluorescent lighting. which they have promised that i can remove the bulbs from overhead.

can't stand light when i am working. they called my office the cave.

it'll be okay though.

i have to do a voiceover on monday or tuesday for the company-wide conference call... should be okay - haven't done one since the donny and marie voiceover a month or so ago.

got my alumni paper from UArts and i was listed as having the new job and all... saw some familiar names in the alumni notes... if anyone from UArts is actually reading this.... drop me a line!!! would love to hear from you!

in other news... my temp, jason, was given 2 weeks notice - he's freelance, and is hourly so don't feel sorry for the boy. one of those kids that you either wanna hug or slap across the face at the drop of a hat... for the most part he's a swell egg for a 23 year old designer. a little too cocky about his design skills. thinks he should be an art director already - uh, honey, i was working 6 years already before i earned THAT title. *shaking my head*

well, pumpkins, i am meandering the foot and a half over to my bed and going to try to fall asleep for four and a half hours. at least i get to wear jeans today since we're moving. we were supposed to meet with Ogilvy this afternoon, but had to cancel since all hell is breaking loose because of this move.

7:31 AM|so we went to hamburger harry's and hung out at the open mic in the back @ gladys' comedy room... got to talking with gladys after she asked me where i've been....
i might actually be redesigning her site for her... god. it needs to be designed better.

there were a few decent comics last night, but mostly they were painful. monica and i were wondering why we've been a little timid about performing lately (besides being swamped at work, i was - i admit - a little stage frighty. no idea why. i'd done fine when i was onstage before. only had 2 bad nights when i was first starting out.)

so gladys was saying that we should have been performing and stuff like that and she needs people for spots, etc... so that's cool.

gladys = keen networking. good stuff. she kills me. really nice chick.

1:41 PM|so far, the day has been excellent. had a meeting to show the creative that i have been working on this past week... they loved it. said fred and i make a kick-ass team. yay! good stuff! have a lot more work to do today.

just had lunch - while i didn't die from yesterday's mahi-mahi, i brought my own food in today.

have to meet monica in the city to go to an open mic at Gladys'... we aren't performing, just hanging out, networking and also getting our feet wet again as we get back into performing. Gladys' is a laid back open mic in times square. she's pretty keen. hooked up jim gaffigan with gigs. he's swell.

11:45 PM|oh god. *drool*

i want one. and i want one bad.

my palm pilot died a year ago. my 2.4 year old cellphone sucks. and i am smitten with this thing. wow.

unfortunately it's $499

10:30 PM|yay.... good news.... i never liked senator tortellini.... do, however, love frank.

1:19 PM|well... i am now attempting to eat Mahi-Mahi Vera Cruz from the cafeteria downstairs. actually not bad. watch me die of food poisoning though

11:27 PM|stumbled onto this creepy kid when i was gawking at nibbanasky



come on. i understand that kids today are pretty chunky and all, but this is taking it to the wayyyyyyyyy opposite extreme. kid looks totally photoshopped.

and he is also making me feel like the cheesesteak sammich that i had for dinner is a bad thing.

effing kids today. jeezuz. someone jet this punk a Happy Meal™

12:17 PM|as i said... i was looking at old photos last night... here're 2 of me and my horse Keepsake (i changed her showname to Peppermint Schnapps) had to sell her after my car accident - which was 14 years ago tomorrow at 4:38pm.







this is my first pony (Brandy) got her on christmas day 1980 - here we are my first horse show... i got a few 4th places and 1 fifth... come on, i was 10 years old.


this is Tiffany... great pony - we won a bunch of championships together... here we're seen outside the dressage ring warming up before i threw on my jacket and headed in there. that day we took the pony club championship. excellent day



and, yes. i was a spoiled brat....and proud of it :)

1:43 AM|*yawn*

i just drove up from the shore... nearly fell asleep in the car. planned on leaving as soon as the sopranos were over but wound up looking through a box of old photographs... left at about 11:50....

would have gotten in sooner, but drove around my neighborhood for HALF AN HOUR looking for a parking spot... arrrrgh. had to park 4 blocks away... praying that nothin happens to my car, although i think that street is pretty safe... i hope. if i come out to another slashed tire....

sopranos was good.

went and saw the banger sisters with mom yesterday - i liked it. it's fluff, and i am not critical about movies really... well... except a.i. - oh how i despised that flick

good thing about where i parked... i get to walk by the little coffee stand and get some keen coffee before i drive off to work.

i have to pick up my laundry tomorrow night - have to go to the bank tomorrow and cash a check since my magnetic strip DIED on friday on my atm/debit card... arrrgh. right now, no sheets on bed. i have clean sheets to put on it, but i am way too tired (see lazy) to do so... looking like the couch with comforter tonight.

speaking of sleep..........
