Today is a shitty day. And we are just 22 minutes in. I should actually be in bed, but I am all worked up.

I got drama coming and going lately. Apparently there is actually drama in RL. I have no idea what is going on with that really.. But I don’t wanna air the laundry here. So there’s that. Then iTunes still hasn’t approved my podcast feed, that they are making me resubmit for mysterious “technical” reasons. I have ran that feed through everything. It is now flawless. They still won’t take it. So I had to turn to feed burner. Sigh. Never ending. Now I await their approval so I can fix my iTunes download link. All for a podcast I never do anymore. Silly. But I feel attached since I was motivated to fix my SEO… Heheh.

Speaking of, the creator of that particular podcast stopped by dp.com. He even commented! Even though I was kinda bitchy in the post. Hi Wes! Now I kinda feel bad about the post… I mean, I am not going for podcasting fame. I don’t care to be “first” really. Who needs labels? Right? But now Wes has removed his label, and he works really hard on his show, whereas I just sort of talk… Sporadically.

Dude, you can totally be first.

Anyhoo. I sent him what was hopefully a nice response. He is a local guy after all. I am always looking for new local peeps!

Where have I been? Well. Lemme see…

Friday I took the day off. Such a good idea! I started at the gym. I really haven’t been as regular about that as I should.. Then I went home and dressed in a new outfit. I’ll just admit it now. I wore manpris. Like capris, but for men? Yeah, those. In white. I looked really good tho. I promise. Anyway, once I was dressed I went to the mall for some shopping. I wasn’t looking for anything really. I just don’t like to sit out in the sun, so I get my outside time in the big outdoor mall. Heh. I did end up finding this really awesome portable bug zapper for the patio at the Restoration Hardware. Only 40 bucks! After shopping, I picked up Richard (who HAD been sitting in the sun all afternoon) and we headed up to The Prado for afternoon cocktails and appetizers. Then we met up with Sheila and proceeded to paint the town. Luckily we only got to part of the town as we had to rush off to meet someone. Someone that ended up not even being there… Anyhoo, it was a fun night regardless.

Saturday morning someone got spoiled rotten… Saturday afternoon we had decided to have a BBQ at our place and spent the morning getting the house and yard pretty for guests. Fred and Sheila came over and we enjoyed Fountain of Youth martinis while Richard manned the grill. Dinner was Bistro Style Turkey Burgers with an array of traditional BBQ sides (read baked beans, ect...) Fun night!

Which brings us to today. So far I have made coffee. Oh, and blogged! See? Still blogging.

Today I got an iPhone.

I know that it seems like I am being dramatic, I mean I have a brand new iPod, but OMFG there are no words. You have to own an iPhone to know, I think. Today my life improved. I used to struggle with my online and physical life. I mean, I can only take my desktop so far.. but with an iPhone I am always connected. It is just… easy. All my email accounts are there. All my photos are there. My top rated songs are there. My blog, my Twitter… My stats even! Everything! And it just feels right to hold it. It is actually sexy. I know that sounds weird for a gadget, but it is.

I am soooo happy. This device has… in one day, changed my life.

Today has been a pisser. First, I woke up too early. I didn’t wake up naturally. I had set my alarm wrong because I didn’t know when I had to go to work. Talk about starting the day on the wrong foot! I went back to bed, but it wasn’t the same. work was not bad, but my generally shitty mood effected my whole day. I came home to cat barf on the rug again and had a fit about it. The cats chew on my artificial centerpiece till they eat plastic and vomit. I find vomit too often. The centerpiece looks like hell now. I tossed the thing out finally. I actually had a complete fit about it. Coming home to a house that smelled like cat shit and stepping in barf and finding something destroyed made me snap inside. I missed the interview call, or she didn’t call. I am not sure, but there was no message on the machine and the phone didn’t ring. To top it off my new mic for the iPod recording doesn’t make a bit of difference in the car, even though I tested it yesterday in the car with the radio on. I have no idea why it won’t work, but it’s not the speakers. Must be the noise, but how the hell do other people record in a car?? That totally pisses me off.

I am going to go watch TV.

Today was a long day. I was probably more stressed this morning than I had been in a long time. It was the day of the big “visit” thing at work. My role was to lead a group of my superiors around my AOR covering information that they are probably already well aware of. My allotted time was over an hour. Over an hour! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My previous position required no such presentations. It has been 7 years since I had to be on like that.

But I did it. My boss said I did it well. That made me feel good. Other aspects of the event did not make me feel good. A little unsure actually. But I am still employed. So I guess that’s something. Heh.

On my way home I figured I’d pick up dinner. Richard had been saying that he’s tired of Mexican, but really it’s all I know. I always feel like Mexican… So I stopped for some Mexican takeout near my workplace. As I was leaving the place with my yummy meal in tow I spied a flower shop. I decided to buy my man a rose. No reason. His birthday has passed. Today wasn’t really special. It was just because. I drove home with a smile.

I don’t know what I expected. All I know is that I was very excited for Richard to come home so I could give him the flower. When he finally arrived his reaction totally disappointed me. Like I said, I don’t know what I expected. Did I think he’d tear up? Or fall into my arms in a passionate embrace? Not really. But I thought there’d at least be a moment. You know, a moment.. I got nothing like that. A peck and a thank you. That was all. Then he propped it up in a corner and changed his clothes.

Huh. I think he appreciated the dinner more, even though he’s “tired of Mexican”.

Is it tomorrow yet? I am done with today.
