Here we go...



Writing is a good outlet for me to analyze things in a way that is both inappropriate and unnecessary for work or friends to be aware of.

My cousin, who has been exposed to short, true stories I’ve written regarding ridiculous circumstances, believes that my life is a soap opera that I should be writing about for those who do not have such luck. She sent me this link and encouraged me to start blogging, so essentially it’s her fault for encouraging ideas to escape my head and project on the unsuspecting public.

Wonderful Palmer's Lip Balm



Today is not a notable day. It is clearly a slow day at work, thus allowing me to work on my blog, and implement new poor-man’s strategies for self improvement. This is why I am exfoliating my lips, so to speak, by putting Scotch tape on them and pulling off bits of dead skin. A quick winter fix for chapping!

It also looks incredibly professional when you’re sitting at your desk in the corner giving yourself a beauty treatment with office supplies and working on your blog. It probably looks even stranger when I apply my newest chapstick afterwards, which looks almost exactly like an Elmer’s glue stick.

Amy Sedaris' book: Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People



My other patented seasonal fix is for the air-conditioning (or lack thereof) in my car. Just get a bag of ice at the 7-11 and put it on your lap, roll down the windows, and enjoy! You do end up arriving at destinations a little wet and disheveled looking, but at least you are not uncomfortably drowning in your own sweat. If I come up with enough of these I might be able to write a book like Amy Sedaris.



Another day of work- in the CAN!
