I think the FTR should apply to multiple situations, not just pregnancy. Take dating, for instance. I am going on a first date tonight. I'll admit, I'm a bit nervous. What if I'm not as fetching as I am in my emails? Worse yet, what if he isn't? Or what if all this time I've been thinking he gets my sense of humor, he has been taking me seriously and we're both in for a rude awakening tonight? Moving on before I freak myself out and getting back to my original point. A couple people have been asking me questions about this evening's date (which was set up last minute given the postponement of my evening's original plans) and I've been very hesitant to talk about it. I don't want to jinx it. I don't want to get too excited about the boy and have him turn into a dud like all the others...no offense if any of you others should happen to be reading this. You're all great people, just not for me, yadda, yadda, yadda. I may have to institute FTR here. Unless of course the date goes incredibly well tonight in which case I probably won't be able to wait to write about it. We shall see.
In other news, we are narrowing down the suspects in our office that could be Wonkette's blind item. Stay tuned.

In The Immortal Words of Shaggy....It Wasn't Me
From Wonkette (the Page Six of DC):
BLIND ITEM: Now That’s Dedication to One’s Work
From the inbox:
So, what lobbyist for a distillers association last night celebrated her birthday on Capitol Hill by throwing up on someone’s tuxedo jacket (not to mention all over the floor)?
OK, that’s the item. I don’t know her name, but she works for the distillers association. BTW, it was my jacket. We are always happy to help further random personal grudges. If they’re funny.
(BTW — we don’t actually care who it was. And we do so love the alcohol lobby.)
Evidence in my favor:
1. My birthday is in August.
2. I am not technically a lobbyist.
3. I was home last night.
4. I wouldn't be caught dead on the Hill. Especially on my birthday.
We have spent the good part of the last hour trying to figure out who this could be.

Memorial Day Weekend
Going into this weekend I had a modest amount of plans in place. They all happened with a couple extra jaunts thrown in for good measure. Here we go....
Thursday a couple of us from work "had" to go to a couple bars to do some bartender research. That was fun. XM met us out since we hadn't seen each other in a couple weeks and turns out the boy misses me when I'm not around. That's sweet. It's unfortunate I don't necessarily feel the same way. I got home around 9 and went straight to bed.
Friday was a long day at work until we got to leave at 4 and my boss actually let us which is nice. I went home, took a nap and woke up just in time for XM to come over with yummy Indian food. We watched some Scrubs since I needed some mindless entertainment to make me laugh the stress away from the week (the 2 bottles of wine probably helped with that as well).
Saturday was the Nats game with Jim. I was looking forward to seeing the Nats beat the Dodgers (you know, that LA team that actually plays in LA) but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. After a couple hours in the sun, sucking down water and a soda, we took our sweaty selves to the Metro and then our respective homes to clean up for our evening activities. Every Memorial Day (I use the term 'every' loosely given that this was only the second time we've done this) we make an annual pilgrimage to Red Robin for the best. steak. fries. ever. We had a great time catching up on his dating and work life. We headed to his apartment to watch Broken Flowers, but really he just wanted me to sew a couple buttons onto a pair of shorts he wants to wear on an upcoming date. Being the good friend I am, I did. We got through about 20 minutes of the movie before we decided to not finish it. I was tired and could barely see the screen, he had fallen asleep twice. He drove me home around 10 where I received the aforementioned call from R professing his feelings for me. Some choice lines from the conversation include "Here I am in beautiful f'ing Tuscany, surrounded by beautiful Italian women and all I can think of is you" (what woman wouldn't fall for that line?) and "Of all the women I've had in my life, I can't think of any that challenge me like you do. You have some kind of hold on me.". Just for the record - we've never dated. Ever. I meet him and his cronies out from time to time for drinks and that is it. Nothing untoward has happened with this man who is now all over me. As Elaine said in the Seinfeld ep I saw last night "I cannot be that desirable." I'm focusing on the humor of the situation. Oh, and he's called every night since then to say good night and invite me to spend the next two weeks in Tuscany. Sweet, sweet man.
Sunday I ended up going to another Nats game with XM and his friend who I really think he should date (if that isn't the kiss of death to someone you are dating, what is really?). They bantered quite cutely and really seemed to get along. Anyways, the game was way better than Saturday's - the Nats destroyed the Dodgers. Yay. Sunday evening I headed over to a bbq at Heather & Gary's. Katie and I were fed and entertained by the newlyweds (not to mention the Magic Bullet pisco sours) and then the four of us headed to the Black Cat for the Prince v. Outkast dance party. It probably would have been way more fun if the four of us weren't so tired and hot. We stayed for a couple hours and then headed our separate ways home.
Monday was oppressively hot and since I'd spent the last two days languishing in the sun, I decided to give my not-quite-tan skin a break and did stuff around the house. I got out a bit, ran some errands, and then took a nap (scandalous!) and cleaned my apartment. It was a really calm, quiet day. Perfect ending to the weekend.

Turns Out It Doesn't Snow In May
I am so beyond bummed. I've been looking forward to seeing Snow Patrol for a good couple of weeks now. I was fortunate enough to have seen them last year before anyone really knew who they were (thanks to the boy I was dating) and got hooked. I managed to get tickets to their sold out show at the 9:30 Club tomorrow night which made me beyond happy. Until this morning when I went to the 9:30 website and found out the show has been postponed. Erg. Normally I would ask something along the lines of "why does God hate me" right about now, but if this is the major problem I am having I consider myself lucky. With my luck, the show will be postponed to the week I'm in Brazil and I won't be able to complain about missing it. Ha.
"You Just Bought Yourself Another Saturday"
If only that were true. Paul Gleason passed away Saturday. He was the principal who raided Barry Manilow's wardrobe in The Breakfast Club. Sure, he was in other movies but he will always be Dick, excuse me, Rich to me.

What The Hell Is Going On?
Twice this week men I have known for two + years have professed strong "I've never felt this way about anyone. You are always on my mind. I can't stop thinking about what we could have had if only we'd give it a shot." feelings.
These are both great guys that I have also had feelings for, but never really let myself explore them or even acknowledge them because they acted as though they were not anywhere near serious about me, nor would they ever be.
At this point nothing more can shock me in this regard. It has all been quite flattering, but really...24 was doing it for purely selfish reasons (full story later) and what R's motives could be remain to be seen since he wants to start really dating once he gets back from Tuscany which is where he just called me from - the balcony off his suite in a Tuscan villa.
Seriously, if someone calls out of the blue and tells me he can't quit me I may go insane.

A Rant From A Friend
This email made my night last night. Too funny....
"Parrotards just peg my chucklehead-meter, but you knew that already. It's not Mr. Buffett's music that infuriates me so much as what it represents -- not to mention, I find the man's hypocrisy just appalling. Mr. Buffett is a shrewd businessman who labors hard and makes bakery trucks full of dough by selling a carefree lifestyle of sloth and addiction to unsophisticated working-class rubes who have no idea that they're being hustled. 'Here,' says Jimmy, 'use the money from Dakota and Kayleigh's college fund to buy into my lifestyle; don't mind me getting rich -- you'll scrape by installing cable boxes.'
"And don't even get me started on chucklehead Clyde’s patrons who bleat out "I've Got Friends in Low Places” at the end of the night as if they were world-weary rural sorts drinking away their woes in some isolated watering hole. Yes: your pals on the Hill and at Covington & Burling are indeed in low places. Have another Ketel One appletini."

Oh iTunes, How Do You Do It?
Relevant lyrics I heard on my way in today after a very surprisingly emotional eventful last night:
1. Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts - Arctic Monkeys
"They got engaged, there's no intention of a wedding"
"I said I wasn't sad to see her go, I was only pretending you know"
2. Inside Out - Eve 6
"Want to put my tender heart in a blender, watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion. Rendezvous, then I'm through with you."
"SoCal is where my mind states, but it's not my state of mind"
3. A Good Idea - Sugar
"The air was thick with the smell of temptation"
"Some things are best left alone"
4. Just a Ride - Jem
"Life, it's ever so strange, it's so full of change, think that you've worked it out. Then BANG! Right out of the blue, something happens to you to throw you off course."
"Truth, we don't wanna hear. It's too much to take. Don't like to feel out of control."
5. Our Finest Year - Better Than Ezra
"I am hopeful, full of doubt, And I am trying to work this whole thing out."
6. Center of Attention - Guster
"One of us won’t last the night. Between you and me it’s no surprise. And there’s two of us, both can’t be right. Neither will move till it’s over."
7. Pretty Girl (the way) - Sugarcult
"Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything. Pretty soon she'll figure out you can never get him out of your head."
"It's the way that he makes you feel. It's the way that he kisses you. It's the way that he makes you fall in love."
I can't tell the story of last night right now. Still too fresh and confusing. I will catch up with everything else today though and maybe by the time that is all done I'll be able to write about last night. Sheesh. I'm making it sound so dramatic. I'm sure it will turn into not a big deal. I just got some news last night from an old I guess you call him a friend that I hadn't seen or spoken with for about two years. Completely knocked me on my ass. Not the reaction either of us expected. Ugh.

Why Don't People Just Believe What I Say?
Why must they question me? Sigh. I came across a photo of my favorite freeway sign from home and sent it to a couple coworkers. Two out of three didn't believe it was real. So I had to dig up an article (click above for link) to prove these signs exist. I am saddened to hear they will not be replaced as they age or get stolen.

Song for a Beautiful Friday Morning
My goodness it is absolutely stunning outside today! I am in a fantastic mood so don't read anything into my song choice for this glorious morning (yes, I'll stop now - I'm annoying even myself).
You Could Be Happy - Snow Patrol. Another gem off their newest album. The song you wish all your exes wrote about you.
"You Could Be Happy"
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

Song for a Rainy Afternoon

Happy little tune that makes the rainy day even more enjoyable. Yes, I love the rain. Perfect for a run later!

Song of the Day
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol. Favorite song on their new album 'Eyes Open'. Get it - they're great.
And on a side note, can James Blunt (I would settle for just You're Beautiful, but really the world would be a better place without his whine altogether) please go away? And maybe, just maybe if God really loves me, take Bad Day by Daniel Powter with him? I mean, I liked the song 6 or so months ago when I first heard it way back in a time before every show/ commercial/ radio station/ movie preview on Earth was playing it. Ugh. I'm better. Thanks for listening.

They're Alive!!!
I have them back. I think. I opened my office door today to find a Gumby and Pokey on my desk with this note:
"I know that you and have been overwrought by our disappearance and the evil communiques you have been receiving. Although it has been interesting and very educational to visit the many tourist attractions in and around the DC area, the inhumane and cruel treatment we have received at the hands of our tormentors has destroyed any joy we might have had. To alleviate your distress until we can escape from the horrid "gumbynator", we have sent out distant cousins "Pokeycuz" and "Gumbycuz" to be with you and to allay your fears of never seeing us, your beloved Pokey and Gumby, again. Please be consoled by the presence of Pokeycuz and Gumbycuz and hopefully we will soon be with you once again. P&G (AKA Pokey and Gumby)"
Hmmm...I also received this IM which came right after I got in this morning:
plasticpetliberationleague: We have had more sightings of your pets. They appear unharmed. Happy even. Why, we believe they are frolicking.
(Click on title above for pics. The last one may be my favorite of all...)

What Is Wrong With This Picture?
You know, it is just plain sad when the first thing the President of your company says upon seeing you get in the elevator with him at 6:00 pm is "You can't possibly be leaving this early".

'The Mixed Tape' - Jack's Mannequin
No reason other than I really like this song and just heard it. Plus I believe the mix tape is a lost art form.

Mascots
So Agie was complaining that the Nats mascot was the same as the Caps mascot just shorter. Her point: "couldn't we come up with anything different?" my rebuttal:"well the eagle is our national bird" her response was to flip a double bird and say "well this is a bird too". And my reply?
"imagine how cool it would be to have a giant middle finger as our mascot. "
How appropo.

Googlism
It may seem like I have accomplished nothing work-related today but that is not true. I was doing some internet stuff for work when I came across "googlism". Very fun website that tells you what Google.com thinks of you - just type your name in and you get a list of "name" is....
When I typed my name (not PlanB because who wants to hear about alternative birth control right now?) here are some of the results (with my comments in parenthesis) since I refuse to post all 172:
1. * is sick of spineless men (so true)
6. * is a woman on a mission
11. * is living a carefree life
13. * is really nice to me
14. * is graceful (see? I told you)
21. * is a knockout woman
32. * is feeling well again and eager to compete in the swiss open
41. * is phoning Richard (not really all that often anymore)
48. * is the only survivor after her village is destroyed and her family murdered (not true)
54. * is in brownies (?)
58. * is taken over the owners knees for a good hand spanking (shouldn't I remember that?)
70. * is shown as a strong woman vampire who can control herself until the anger in her can no longer be withheld
88. * is done with her explosive detection class and ready for work

48. * is the only survivor after her village is destroyed and her family murdered (not true)
54. * is in brownies (?)
58. * is taken over the owners knees for a good hand spanking (shouldn't I remember that?)

Most Awesome Thing I've Heard Today
Agie and I have a fun little game we like to play to make our days here in the office more enjoyable. It has no official name but if it did it would be something along the lines of "Try to Get the Most Annoying Song Possible Stuck in Your Friend's Head". Most often it devolves into one of us pulling out "Loving You" which is the worst song ever because just when you think you've managed to get it out of your head you find yourself walking down the hallways singing "doo doo doo doo doo doooooooooo....ahhhhhhhhh" in ear piercing tones. I usually start the war and am sometimes hated for it even though most times my motive is not to annoy others, but to share the pain of the random songs I hear in my head. Take this morning for example - Agie and I were in the kitchen preparing our customary cups of coffee and tea respectively when I turned to her and said "give me some sugar, I am your neighbor". For a good hour after that I was singing "Hey Ya" unwillingly.
So imagine my pleasure when Agie just walked into my office and said "I don't know why and I don't know how but...." and then proceeded to sing "Suck on my chocolate salty balls" from South Park. HA!

Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner - Fall Out Boy
One would think it got SotBT because of my undying love for that line from Dirty Dancing but not so people....well, partially, but it is also quite the catchy ditty.

Eventful Evening
Just left an event (and am supposed to be on my way to another but am heading home instead...shhh) where Senator Clinton spoke briefly. Despite wearing an illfitted suit (seriously the people responsible for selling it to her and the tailor should all be fired), she looked fantastic as usual. She, like John Kerry and various others on the Hill, looks so much better in person. She is a lovely, gracious woman and a fantastic public speaker.
Her Secret Service were mostly young, attractive men - way to go Hil... You can always pick them out of the crowd (granted there were only about 25 people there but still) - they never show reaction to what the speaker is saying. How dull that job must be. Although I am sure not having to laugh or smile at really lame jokes must be nice.

So It Goes
Which, actually may have to be the song of the day (by Wes Cunningham). Moving on.
I signed in to IM this morning and saw that there was another communiqué regarding Gumby and Pokey.

Again, click on title above for the slide show. Evidently they are against infant circumcision. Who knew they were so politically active?

Remember Gumby and Pokey?
The saga continues. Oddly enough, this message was sent Friday while I was on vacation. I didn't sign in to IM until 20 minutes ago and this popped up:
Dearest Plastic Pet Owner We are a group dedicated to stomping out the ceaseless abuse and endless kidnappings of our special plastic pets. We must continue to protect our identities so we shall remain anonymous. We had targeted your particular plastic pets for rescue and were very close to freeing them when they suddenly managed a miraculous escape from their captors. We have, unfortunately, lost track of them. But we have spread the word to our vast network of Plastic Pet Rescue Rangers and your pets have been spotted around the city. While we have not managed to recapture your pets we have managed to capture a few cell phone photos that we will share with you. We will be in touch.

Click on title for slide show of my guys touring the city. At least they look like they're having fun now....and have managed to clean up a bit since last we saw them in their cage.

Songs of the Longest Tuesday Known to Mankind
Shake it Off - Mariah Carey. Yes, Mariah Carey. Deal.
Charm Attack - Leona Naess. A fun sing-along warning of those men (we've all known at least one of them) who are 'smoother than the LA weather'. Watch out girls, they'll charm you.

Vacation Rocks
If I could somehow find a man that wanted a stay at home mom without having kids that would be awesome.
Not that I would want to do to nothing all day but a couple days a week to do with what you wish....not such a bad thing.
