I’d be saying: borders plays a really bad version of “time after time.”
Listening to: death cab for cutie’s new album, leann rimes circa 1998, mindy mccready circa before all the arrests and bad times, and lupe fiasco.
I’m ADD: Keep checking random websites and googling things as they occur to me when I’m trying to make up some work left over from Friday. Also, people watching. And amusing myself with really bad jokes and lip syncing.
No wonder I can’t get anything done.
Good job I don’t twitter as well as blog, can you imagine how much less productive I could be??

The total quantity of matter and energy available in the universe is a fixed amount and never any more or less.
Accordingly, the total quantity of clothing available in my closet is also a fixed amount. It might not always happen in the same day or even involve the same type of clothing like this instance, but the total will generally stay constant despite my efforts to pare down.
I went home on Friday feeling *quite* guilty about spending thirty dollars on a basic, white, short sleeved button down shirt, and a cap sleeved shirt for work from Martin+Osa (thanks StackingPennies! :P). I justified, and rationalized, all the way up to hitting the “Order” button, and then felt bad for spending money. Later that night, my friends pointed out that my careless laundering had ruined yet another one of my semi-casual work tees.
Perfect.
Two weeks ago, my white kitten heel sandals broke, and I nearly broke my neck slipping on a sidewalk. A month before that, I’d bought those metallic sandals.
Either there’s really something to this theory, or I’m self sabotaging/selecting, and I can’t tell which is better.

This blog, though renamed, has been around a shade more than two years now. That’s pretty cool, and it’s been fun, helpful, and informative for me. I hope that y’all are having fun, too! Have a great weekend, all!

and running.
I briefly considered updating the scenery too, but I’m sort of exhausted from all this other Damage Control work.
Thanks to all!

Due to a possible compromise/penetration of my cover by an untrustworthy soul, I’ve had to block public access to the blog.
I’m undergoing an identity cleanse and hope to be back up and running within 24 hours. I can still be reached at this name @ yahoo.com for now, but I’m going to have to make as clean a break as possible with regards to pseudonym and address. Thanks for helping me preserve my anonymity, I would hate to have to delete this blog or stop blogging entirely because of this.
I’m still trying to figure out how to reach regular readers, or irregular readers, whose email addresses I don’t have, without publicly stating that Ms.M has become such and such a blogger, and making it easy for my privacy-invader to trace me to the new blog.
Edit: I’m specifically thinking of Chocoholic, Karen, Beautiful, and a few others who comment every so often but don’t have profiles, comments enabled on their blogs, or blogs at all so that I can contact them.

Wow. I was suddenly overwhelmed by fluttery feelings of anxiety, stress, fear? Deep (yoga) breathing and playing my Italian podcast for a soothing background helped a little. I thought taking work with me would be helpful too.
I’m definitely stressed about the mountains of work on my desk, not getting done, because there was a miscommunication about my cousin’s graduation that is not tomorrow. It’s today! I can’t believe how close I came to missing it. Thank goodness I checked the ticket this morning, otherwise I’d have been fielding a phone call after the ceremony to explain what an idiot I am.
Anyway, this work on my lap isn’t precisely occupying me, nor is anything quite distractionary enough.
I need a nap!
