Did you know if you’re a personal blogger you’re not supposed to write about your day because that’s boring to your audience?
Uh, right.
I fiiiiiiiiinally just bought these shoes that Steph had me drooling over a while back. They wouldn’t have been right for my Leia costume, but they’ll be right for something, I know that. 
In the irony department, I still haven’t been able to go to a shoe store since starting my new job. The stores open at or after 9am which is when I start work. After work I am kinda tired and for the first few days of wandering around before work I couldn’t even find a shoe store to go to if I wanted to unless I got off the train at 71 Ave and walked over to Austin Street. I finally did find a shoe store on (I wanna say 8 Ave) half way between W 57 St and W 58 St that had awesome shoes and boots at really good prices, but I work on W 55 St and the train is at W 53 St so it’s in the wrong direction for my tired self and a NYC block is looooooooong when you’re tired. So, the plan now is that Dawg is coming with me to shoe shop tomorrow. I kinda can’t wait. I also plan to maybe pick up some more dress shirts and sweaters because my business casual wardrobe is not very extensive. I really thought I had a lot more clothes but they seem to have gone missing. Oh, and we need a crockpot and a toaster because living without them is starting to suck. I completely forgot a piece of toast in the oven last night and its bottom was slightly charry.
If it’s not been made clear by me, I’m really enjoying my new job. I don’t know how to do a lot of the things they need me to do when they first give me the task so I have to learn how on the fly and that is my favorite way of learning new stuff (0% sarcasm intended). You give me a tiny hint of how to do something and I’ll figure it out. And I’ve worked for the client side of IT for a very long time but now I’m doing both client and server side, so sometimes when I approach a problem I solve it client side instead of server side and the people look at me like, “woah, dude, how’d you do that?!” It’s funny to me that I know A LOT more about a lot of things than some of the guys. I’m guessing that means I’ll get some sort of pRaise in the very near future.
Neil mentioned something about this on Facebook, and I’m sitting here freezing which is making me happy for the moment and reminding me to mention that radiator heating is the devil. Truly. When the heat turns on it’s loud and boiling in here so we have to crack all the windows and turn up the TV (if we’re trying to watch it). And Georgie of course chooses that particular time to jump up on the rads, mew that her tootsies are being burned, then jump into my lap. Silly kitty cat.
I’m really appreciating this weekend right now. I’m gonna go make myself a cup of coffee and curl up on the couch to watch all the TV that built up in the DVR over the week.
Happy Saturday, all!

I think that if *I* wrote about my day, it would be hellaciously boring and my blog readers would drop like flies. However, your life is way fun and exciting…(yes, I think I just likened you to Mary Tyler Moore and your big city life, haha!).
Even so..rules schmules. Who decides this shit anyway?
November 8th, 2008 at 10:25 am
What Hilly said!
And those shoes are awesome!
Also – can you guys build a removable radiator cover, like, out of wood or something, for the radiator? Then the cats could sit on it and it might muffle some of the sound.
That’s me – always thinking of new things for you to do!
Also, I have some crock pot recipes, if you wanna share some. And make sure to get the kind where you can lift out the middle.
Wow I am babbling. I will shut up now. Yay, me!

Who made that stupid rule? I read your blog because I want to know about your day.
November 8th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy for the shoes!
New rule: must take pic of self in new shoes to show your adoring fans how absolutely cute they are!
(Plus I can decide if I like how they look on actual feet, because, um, well I may need to buy them)
November 8th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
There is a rule about that? Who makes these rules? Is that why I have such low readership? because I break the rules?
November 8th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
OMG, I love the shoes!
Uh, yeah…I read blogs because I love to read about people…their lives and what makes them tick. Duh.
November 8th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
FIVE-inch heels? Really? I think your next video post should be of you walking in those. :-)
November 8th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Barry and I were in NYC yesterday with our entire family (including all 9 grandchildren) to see the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. Oh, I’m sorry. I was just talking about my day…
But anyway… I had this fantastic wish of bumping into you and Dawg, or you, or Dawg… sorry. Wishes are probably not allowed either…
But anyway… your shoes are beyond fabulous. The higher, the better, I always say! This is true. I rarely wear less than 4-inchers. And I hope your shoe shopping goes splendidly. I have a kind-of shoe fetish. I may need counseling. Just don’t get so tired that you wear crock-pots and toasters on your feet. That would not be good. At all.
November 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Well slap me silly because I break the rules. If it’s YOUR blog YOU can do whatever YOU want. By the way those shoes are HOT! OMG, LOVE THEM!
I’m also so very happy that you really like your job. Have I mentioned that? I’m really happy for you :)
November 8th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I dunno, but if I didn’t blog about my day every now and again I probably wouldn’t have a “personal” blog. It would be an “impersonal” blog.
Stupid rule. I, for many, am honored to hear about your day of lounging around, drinking coffee and watching TV.
Well. “Honored” might be a stretch. :)
November 8th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
You are bringing those shoes when we do the kidnapping. I want to see you walk in them.
and you’re day may be boring but since you write in stream of consciousness, it’s always sounding awesome
November 8th, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Rules are made to be broken. Obviously I want to hear about your day or I wouldn’t come to your blog!
November 9th, 2008 at 1:51 am
I love those shoes. I wish I was shorter so I could wear heels and not hit the 6′ marker. Sigh.
On another note if you are going business/casual shopping I do work at the gap and can give you a 30% off coupon (nov 13-16) if you are interested. I don’t know if you like that store or not but if you do just email me and let me know and I will send it out.
November 9th, 2008 at 3:06 am
We will get pics of shoes bought, right?
November 9th, 2008 at 9:18 am
damn, those shoes are awesome. princess leia would have rocked those shoes! or killed anyone with her bare hands if they dared question her footwear choice.
i like reading about your day. it makes poppy poppy.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:11 am
What?! When the hell did that happen? No one told me? Now what am I going to write about? Can I write about your day?
November 9th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Love the shoes. I would kill myself in those heels, though.
November 10th, 2008 at 7:35 am
Those shoes are HOT. I showed them to Dan, and five minutes later he ordered them.
Mmmm, I love shoes
November 10th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
You are officially my new superhero. If you can walk in those shoes … WOW!!!
