a little back and forth lately

MORE EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!

i am now following HANSON on twitter. i am very excited about this. i was just professing my love of hanson to some people yesterday. not just a random mix of people. it was my coworkers and a resident. long story....we somehow started talking about the Jonas Brothers (i don't know who brought it up....definitely not me...) and someone asked, "are they the band with the kids who have long blonde hair?" and i said, "NO THAT'S HANSON I LOVE THEM TOO." and then went on to compare and contrast the JoBros and Hanson. educational, really.

SO, then tonight, i just happened to be on the Rooney twitter page and saw that they were following Hanson and then said, "what?! hanson has a twitter?!?" and then immediately started following them too.

there was one night where Robert from Rooney tweeted that he was hanging out in Tulsa with his bandmates and with the Hanson brothers. i remember this night. because i totally freaked out and went crazy when i read this.

anyways. that's my exciting Hanson news.

today was a fine day. i'm tired now.

i got a phone call at 7:45 this morning from my boss asking me if i wanted to work for her tonight. i said yes. so, i worked from 8-9am, and then from 3:30-10pm.

now i'm doing some overnight monitoring. it was a pretty quiet night. i got to hold a baby and try and get her to go to sleep. i rocked her in a rocking chair for a while, but she wasn't really having that. so, i stood up and rocked her.

we were all watching 13 Going On 30 at the time, and i think it was the sound of Mark Ruffalo's soothing voice that finally got her sleepy. what a dreamboat!

i am excited about friday. i have to be up at 6:45 for about ten minutes. and then! my dad is coming to visit me!!!!!

TODAY (25 september 2009) MY DAD is starting an epic roadtrip. he's driving from Hudson, New Hampshire, USA, to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. EPIC. i am so totally jealous, but also really excited for him. he's stopping to see lots of great Canadian family members along the way, BUT FIRST, he's stopping to see his lovely Canadian-American daughter. ME! and we'll go out for coffee.

you see, my house is right on the way to Canada! it's a natural stopping point for many travelers. actually not really. my dad is the first traveler to canada that is stopping at my house. but, i welcome you all!

friday evening i might go to the grocery store. i have some food items that need purchasing.

BUT! wednesday here is a big day because it is the day that the box of food comes. now, i'm not sure what happens, or who drops this box off, but every wednesday there is a box of fruit and vegetables that is dropped off at the house. and the girls always complain because on wednesday one of the chores is going through the box and putting the food away. this is apparently the worst thing that they could ever do.

a few wednesdays ago i argued and argued with a resident for like, 3 hours trying to get her to put the box of food away.

and it's even worse because they just want to throw the food all away. it's perfectly good food! but, all staff members can take whatever they want, because the girls will most likely not eat it anyways. so yesterday! i took 3 tomatoes, a large bag of romaine lettuce, 2 avacados, and 1 cucumber. awesome.

so i do not need to buy lettuce for a while and this is something that will make me sleep easier at night.

and kara is coming on sunday to visit me and i am going to make GUAC!!! guacamole in the house. kara's favorite thing in the world is guac. and i am very excited to make it for her.

i sliced up the cuke yesterday for me and Ruby to eat, figuring it would be a nice afternoon snack, right? but Ruby did not like it at all. she was so, so curious as to what it was. so, i held up a little piece for her, she sniffed it, immediately made a squinty eyed face and ran out of the room.

but! every time i would eat a piece, she would come right over and the same thing would happen. she's a cutie!

tonight at work i had to run up to the second floor staff office, which is located right at the bottom of the stairs to my apartment. and i was at the door and stopped for a minute, and i could hear Ruby Tuesday crying. she must hear footsteps and then keys jingling and think it's me coming home. she just hates being by herself. i feel so guilty every time i leave her.

AAAHAHAAHH!!!!!!!! guess what?!?!?! Jason Schwartzman was on CRAIG FERGUSON tonight!!!!!!! no way! YES WAY!!! Craig and Jason. does it get any better than that? hm, let me think. no, no it does not.

and i had to sit patiently in my living room with no cable and not watch it. it was hard. i had to really distract myself. instead! i watched a sneak peek of next week's Bored to Death. and then i watched Jason and Jonathan Ames take me on a tour of Brooklyn. it was great!

but, i'm very excited to watch his interview tomorrow. he doesn't do many late night interviews. he's been on Conan doing an interview and playing in Phantom Planet. and he's been on Letterman playing in Phantom Planet.

"playing in Phantom Planet." like it's some sort of game. geeze. what should i say? 'drumming with Phantom Planet?'

anyways. i'll post the video of him on Craig so i can get all excited about it and then have nobody watch it. it's okay, i'm being realistic.

IN OTHER AWESOME NEWS: one week from Saturday i am going to see Ben Folds!!!! with Jenny!!! they are playing at The Calvin theater in Northampton, which is where i saw.....(wait for it)......HANSON!!

Hanson was the last concert i saw. and now Ben Folds. and they are both at the same place! weird!

and it's coming full circle, because we began talking about Hanson. don't you just love it? it's like, such a feeling of relief when i discover that a blog entry isn't completely meaningless.

"meaning is not in things, but in between them."

who said that? is that even right? hold on. let me check.

Norman O. Brown. he said that.

alright. it's 3:09am. friday morning. i have to be up at 6:45am. so, i'm going to head to bed. last night i went to bed at 3:25am. and the night before that, it was 2:45am. i'm getting on an earlier schedule. none of this 4am, 5am craziness.

alright, have a great friday. i'll talk to you a bit later on. i feel like we haven't talked in a while. i still have more to say. but, just not now.

love you! goodnight!
