"well i used to know a girl, and i could have sworn, that her name was Veronica."

emotions are running high in the Julie/Ruby Tuesday household tonight. Ruby opted to sleep through the final episode of Veronica Mars. i don't think she's as affected by the ending as i am.

ok. so, pretty much immediately after watching the series finale of Veronica Mars, i wished i had never started it to begin with. WHAT kind of an ending was that?!?!?! for serious!!!!! did they want you to tear your hair out after watching?!?! HOW are we supposed to know what happens?!?!?

soooooooooooo many loose ends. aw man. i can't believe i don't know right now if Keith won the election.

AT LEAST they had that episode revolving what everyone will be doing over the summer.

but Veronica and Logan?!?!? he loves her!!!!

oh, i'm so broken about this.

i feel like i should send Kristen Bell a twitter. but i don't think i'm cool enough.

aw man i am putting all my votes in for the Veronica Mars movie. how come this isn't happening right now????

but. in any case, i am starting Season 1 with Kara this weekend. we have 3 intense Sister Weekend days to watch season 1. we can do it. Kara and i watched the first two seasons of Big Love in like, two days. THAT was intense.

and i watched three seasons of Heroes in like, three weeks. and also that time my third year of college where i watched like, 80 Lost episodes in less than a month.

enough. i can't talk about it anymore.

so, busy overnight last night. baby was up like, four times. i slept a lot. went to bed around 2:45am. slept until 3:30am. to bed at 4:30. slept until 6:30. up until 7:30. back to bed. set my alarm for 1pm. woke up at 2:30pm.

got up. had cereal. washed my hair. got dressed. to work i went!

i walk into the staff office and this is the first thing i hear, "and she threw the glass against the wall and it shattered everywhere."

at that moment, i wanted to walk right back out the door, go back upstairs, get back into bed and pull the covers so far over my head that nobody would ever find me.

but, i didn't. and our fun-filled night began. it wasn't actually that bad. it's nice when there are other staff around to quick-vent to.

and, no baby monitoring tonight, so it's like vacation!!!

i realize that today is technically 12 november. but, i haven't slept yet, so for me, it's still 11 november. which means:

happy birthday lin!

lin and i used to stand next to each other in chorus at hampshire college. we were also airport lounge monitors together. they were good times. and then lin gave me her sweater when she graduated. she was a year ahead of me. and one day in chorus she was wearing this really pretty yellow cardigan with sparkly buttons. and i said,

JULIE: I like your sweater!
LIN: You can have it.
JULIE: What?
LIN: If I graduate, you can have this sweater.

and that's pretty much the whole story. Lin graduated. and then when i returned to hampshire the next fall, there was a package waiting for me in my mailbx. and in it, was the sweater!

wow. what a great story. really. and today, in honor of her birthday, i wore the sweater. for serious. it's super comfy. i wore it a couple weeks ago too.

also today:

happy birthday leonardo dicaprio.

oh, what a beautiful man. i thought about him a lot today.

in other news: i bought some new lullabys tonight. since my itunes is working, i took advantage. my fave is the lullaby version of Killer Queen. it's so cute!!! also, Hotel California. Don't Panic, by Coldplay. yeah. it's awesome. the first 'lullaby renditions' cd that i produce will be Lullaby Renditions of the Jonas Brothers. it's gonna be great.

also tonight at work, i rocked a stuffed pink baby bunny to sleep. first me and the toddler rocked her in the bouncy seat. and we buckled her in too, don't worry. but then she needed to be picked up. first, the toddler gave her a hug and a kiss. and then she gave her to me. so, i rocked her back to sleep and put her back in the seat. it was all very cute.

and then i fed the toddler her supper.

know what is lame???? that this is a wednesday holiday. what is the deal?? for realz. i'm sorry, but it's lame. it screws up the postal system!!!!!! come on! enough with these holidays!!!!

when i am president.......

no, i'm just kidding. i won't bore you with another edition of "when julie is president." we know, we know. drive thru post offices. alphabetized grocery stores. yep.

also, here's something. so, on tuesday when i had to go out and do errands in the early morning, i noticed something. this was like, between 11am and 12:30pm. i noticed that people are not very good drivers. like, it was bad enough that i noticed it. and i thought, "it's never like this during julie hours!" like, past 4pm when it's okay for me to leave the house.

i hate going places before like, 4pm. serious. okay, 3pm. it's too bright. too many people. too sunny. too much traffic.

anyways, i had like, a million people pull out in front of me, but WAY too close. it happened like, 4 times. and every person i was behind didn't use their turn signal. it was just a mess.

ok. it's 3:27am. i think i'll go to bed now. or, soon. with my new lullaby music. i've been playing it all night while i sleep for the past week or so, and, i'm gonna be honest - i think i sleep better. or, i think i get into more of a deep sleep.

when i am working, but also sleeping, i never sleep as good. even if i'm asleep, it's like, i'm still awake. but, i've noticed that i have a more peaceful sleep with the lullabys.

it doesn't really make sense that people play lullaby music for their babies. when babies are little they are not used to lullaby music. they are used to white noise as loud as a vacuum cleaner. that's why people can buy those cd's of like, household appliance noises. like, the blender. the car running. the vacuum. that's what babies like!

julie's like lullabys. i don't think there's anything wrong with that.

ok. i have to run down to the office before i go to sleep. i just remembered this. ugh. i don't want to. but i have to.

i still don't understand why my computer programs are working again. anybody have any idea? really, i'll take any idea. because i have none.

well then. i hope everyone has a beautiful thursday. there's a frost outside right now. brrr. stay warm. stay cool. stay golden, ponyboy.


But she used to have a carefree mind of her own
with a devilish look in her eye
saying, 'you can call me anything you like
but my name is Veronica.'
