Yes, Mama said there would be days like this. Granted, in this case, it’s not the wedding bells that are calling everyone but me, but it’s a myriad of other adult like things that have happened that have made huge waves in my adult life. Let’s explore what my past 48 hours of life have been like. In no particular order:
- I found out briefly I had my job cut at work due to the economy, DEATH KNELL, and spent a period of 30 terrifying seconds without employment. I can definitely say this wasn’t fun.
- I then found out I was absorbed by another branch of my company doing something completely different. Reprieve, thank you jebus.
- There is a very good chance I will have a pay cut. I think it is also safe to say that I will be overworked and under paid. Mantra: At least I have a job. At least I have a job. At least I have a job.
- Because my world tilted wildly out of control I ended up renting a car for Friday to drive to Cleveland with a friend in the hopes of purchasing tickets for the Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings concert at the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Bad decision or adventure? I’m going to go with adventure.
- I used the word orgasms in scrabble yesterday resulting in a bingo on a triple word score giving me 87 points on one word. I was embarrassed saying the word in front of the older woman I was playing with.
- I had a cupcake for dinner last night.
- On my way to work I thought I saw a construction worker lugging a big iron cross alongside the airport in a construction zone. What it turned out I saw was a guy lugging a wooden cross simulating Jesus carrying his cross. You know people do this to signify Jesus’ walk to his crucifixion and the pain of carrying his cross. The difference with this guy was that his cross had a wheel affixed to the bottom of it making his cross bearing MUCH easier to carry. (*include eye rolls and an air of sarcasm with this one*).
- I’ve decided that tomorrow I will attend a meeting to learn how to ref the women’s roller derby team being created in Erie.
- I have terrific acid indigestion.
Being an adult is hard and practically losing your job is super scary.
The Shirelles are ssssoooo right!

You forgot to mention the invite to our 10 year high school reunion… …which I have yet to be invited to. lol…
All I think of when I hear “high school reunion” is “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion”. I must be Romy because you’re defintely Michele (Lisa Kudrow’s character)!
OMG gurl I totally forgot that my 48 hours began with our 10 year High School Reunion…..which I’m not going to, one because it was high school and two if you’re not going then why would I ever want to put myself through the tourture of a reunion without you by myside!
Um I’ll take Michele, we can get business suits and have a business woman special!!!!!!! Now we have to think of things we’ve invented so we can bring out performance full circle!
I hope you realize that when I come home in September we are watching that movie!!!!!!!!!!!
Boo to: 1, 3, 7, 9
Yeah to: 2, 4, 5, 8
Hell Yeah to: 6
Holy moley, that was a tumultuous 48 hours!
As expected, you came out on top.
Maybe this new job will be free of basement dwelling burglar rocks.
Good luck with your Dap Kings tickets!
I have a really good cupcake recipe if you want to up the ante on the dinner of yours! I myself have had many bowls of ice cream, brownies and other various desserts for dinner. Sometimes you have to eat dessert first cuz you never know when you might croak during dinner!
@Stephanie of Stopbouncing
It has been a wild 48 hours and I am going to have a new post for you real soon…hint we managed to score tickets to the concert!
Also, I am hoping this new job will be void of basement dwelling burglar rocks….that’s the real reason I’m being moved (;) j/k)
How is everything with you gurl?
@thelifeofjamie
I’d love to have the recipe for dinner! I’ll be emailing you real soon! Your right every so often I like to have a junk food dinner…it’s delicious!
