Blame It On The Rain

So, I know I'm trying to turn over a whole new HAPPY! and POSITIVE! and PUPPIES AND KITTENS! leaf, but it is REALLY hard to do that on a day like this. Today. Effing. Sucks. It's one of those days where the first thought that pops into your head upon opening your eyes (well, after thinking - "damn! didn't I JUST fall asleep?" Answer: yes, you did) is:

AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been on the verge of tears/homicide since I hit my snooze button for the 27th time, and dragged my sorry butt out of bed. Maybe it's the nasty, nasty weather. This cold, miserable rain that's just adding treachery to our already iced-over roads is making me postal. Sheesh. What's with me today? Or, in the immortal words of Lucas from Empire Records...

"What's with Today, Today?"

Yesterday my rage was focused and subsequently taken out on an inanimate object (see previous post in which I berate my computer). Today, it's being fueled by the Earth's rotation around the sun. Yep, that's right. I'm letting TIME piss me off. Hours on a clock; a number on the calendar. Probably pretty stupid, if you ask me.

But, alas, enraged I am, and I need to let it out. So, without further ado...

Today - Here's 10 things I hate about you:

1. I hate that my garage-door opener chose this morning, of all mornings, to die. Forcing me to get out of the car in the pouring rain to manually close it.
2. I hate that I just drove around for an hour looking for a doctor's office, based on the erroneous instructions of five - YES, FIVE - separate staff members, only to find out that I'd missed the appointment. And to top that off, I wasn't even scheduled to see a real doctor in the first place! (For that matter, did you know that Nurse Practitioners are billed as specialists? WTH?? $40 co-pay my arse!)
3. I hate that I missed out on the opportunity to buy the last size-small Kennebunkport Dress on ModCloth because I was trying to find the aforementioned doctor, and therefore couldn't stop to call and add it to my order. (So what - I bought myself a precious peony print dress and some four-inch heels already today. What's your point? Retail therapy, baby!)
4. I hate that I've been working my butt off for what seems like an eternity, and feel like I haven't gotten anywhere on this project.
5. I hate that the two guys I have been emailing that I was actually excited about haven't emailed back, but Mr. Pushy McPusherson stalker guy did (OF COURSE). Yo! Stalker! Get the hint! Grr...
6. I hate that I also keep getting emails from the Melting Pot and various spas, reminding me of all of their romantic offerings for this Valentine's Day. NO Melting Pot, I do NOT want to "Surprise My Sweet" with your special "Romance Package"! So take your chocolate dipped strawberries and shove 'em!
7. I hate that I was up two pounds this morning because of my junk-food binge this weekend.
8. I hate that it's already 3:00, and I haven't even made a dent.
9. I hate that Phil whatever his name is saw his shadow, and we get six more weeks of miserable, wintry mix.
10. I hate that I couldn't just pull the covers over my head this morning and pretend this day had never happened...
    

Take that, February 2, 2010! And KISS MY A**!!!!

Post-Script:

Today, I think it's time we made up. I mean, you ARE the day that brought me this adorable little number:

And, you are the day on which the Season Premiere of LOST will be aired. So, I don't see why we can't just all get along. I'm willing to try if you are. What do you say, Today?

Friends???

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye

Starting the blog off on a bit of a sad note, because I broke up with my boyfriend yesterday. So, a lot of songs are hitting home today. Here's a sampling of what's pulled at the heartstrings so far... (Notice the mood-swings. Yep, breaking up makes me a little bit insane...)

The Fray - All at Once

Looking for the right one
you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same
Maybe you want her maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Maybe you want it maybe you need it,
Maybe it's all you're running from,
Perfection will not come

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Prince - Let's Go Crazy

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today2 get through this thing called life
Electric word lifeIt means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

Jimmy Fallon - Idiot Boyfriend

I know what you want, and I know what you need
But I'm gonna screw it up, yeah
Cause I'm an idiot, and I'm your boyfriend, yes I am

I'm gonna take you out, and leave my wallet home
Then I use your cell phone, baby
Long distance, and I'm your boyfriend
Baby I know I'm a man who's made mistakes
I still got some learning to do
I made out with your best friend the other day,
and Now we're best friends too
Yeah Yeah
And I know what you want, and I know what you need
But I'm gonna screw it up, yeah
Cause I'm an idiot, and I'm your boyfriend,
yes I am
And I'm gonna get you a gift, Hey!
But it’s something I like too
Hope you like this Norelco Beard trimmer with my name on it,
And I'm your boyfriend...
Then we'll have the living room all to ourselves, you see
We'll put on some great DVD's I picked up
How bout like, something like the Matrix
Hey baby you like fine cooking? Cause you know what?
I got a swanson's dinner in the freezer with your name on it
Check it out
Yeah!I got a permanent wave, yeah!
I got an ogilvie home perm, baby


Nick Jonas (Shut it - it's a great song!) - Who I Am

Nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing is right, nothing is right when you're gone
I'm losing my breath, I'm losing my right to be wrong
I'm frightened to death, I'm frightened that I won't be strong
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad?
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I'm shaking it off, I'm shaking off all of the pain.
Breaking my heart, breaking my heart once again
