This is my life and musings and whatever else I decide to write about in a day.
Pure Imitation Maranie
Saturday, February 23, 2002
OK, so I've only got 1.5 essay questions left, 9 multiple guess, and 2 true/false on my bankruptcy exam. Plus Jason should be home from work soon. I don't think that's too bad, especially since I have until next Thursday to complete it. Plus I'll be studying for the probate exam most of the day tomorrow while Jason continues working The Big Sale, in addition to attending a study group for said exam at Donna's tomorrow evening at 5. I'm still worried, just not quite as much.posted by Maranie on 2/23/2002 05:02:00 PM
I feel so stupid right about now.
Not only did I sleep until 1, but my car's still downtown, effectively leaving me stranded here. Jason is at work until 5 and I need to have a good portion of my take-home bankruptcy exam done by the time he comes home (if not the whole damn thing, if I can do it. Somehow, I'm doubting it.)
So I'm logging off now, going to take a shower, eat some very late breakfast, and hope for the best. Wish me luck.

*sigh*Damn am I exhausted.
Work was work today, had some freaky-ass situations arise (as is the case when you're the legal assistant in charge of repo'ing mobile homes) but also had a department meeting over lunch. This meant that we all ate from Quizno's on the company, and discussed work a little bit.
This evening was even better - one of the partners decided to let everyone drink at the bar downstairs on his tab. What a hoot! I had 4 very free beers, and I'm not talking watered-down cheap shit either. I'm talking Killian's on draft. Plus much bullshitting with co-workers. To add to the merriment, I didn't even need to worry about driving home; Jason offered to do so when I told him I was heading there, and I took him up on it.
After the little impromptu office party, Jason and I headed to S.H.O.C.C. Comix, where he bought me this great Drusilla action figure. We followed that up with a trip to Vaquero's where I had some wonderful Mexican food. The only bummer is that I'd like to chat right now but no one's online. I still can't bitch, though - I'm starting to get hungover and tired, and I'm STILL in a good mood over today.

I had a wonderful day today.Went to lunch with everyone from my department because it was Michelle the lawyer's birthday. Since she's our boss, we got to stay at the restaurant for an hour and a half. Everything went pretty well the rest of the day too. I found out at 9 that I'd forgotten a homework assignment I'd had 2 weeks to do for tomorrow's bankruptcy class, but I got it pretty much done within an hour. And I had a wonderful phone call with my friend Coby for over an hour. All in all, pretty good.
Then I join Jason for a late-night run to Tim Horton's, whilst feeling pretty sick, and miss out on chatting with Kopi, Chip, and Roberta. And now I'm pissy because of it, even though going with Jason was a decision I had made. Stupid? Yup. Immature? Most likely. Unjustified? Definitely. Still doesn't make it feel any better, though. :-P

Huh.Last night didn't turn out to be too bad. Everything went under control. It's all good. I even got some decent sleep.
Not much else to say but that, just in case anyone was wondering. :-)

I had the worst case of insomnia last night.I got to bed around 12:40 but didn't actually get to sleep until two hours later. I got so fed up that around 2, I went downstairs, had a glass of water, wrote out the bills and watched Three's Company on TV Land. Even once I did get to sleep, it was fitful.
This isn't common for me. I told Trish and Brandon at work, "Normally the Apocalypse could come, whirling around my bed, and fail to wake me." I'm quite disturbed by it and can't think of any sensible reason why I couldn't calm down in bed last night, why my heart wouldn't stop pounding in my chest.
Funny thing is, I was down and outright giddy today at work. Some people might have called it "slaphappy." I know I did. I took a short nap this evening but it wasn't that hard to awaken from.
But I know that it just hasn't hit me yet. Once it does, I'm a goner. And I know it's going to hit soon. I can tell by the way I'm getting bitchy with Jason that it's only a matter of minutes before I start to crash n' burn.
5...4...3...2...1...

Many thanks to Chip for making the archive page presentable, and linkable as well. :-)As for me, the sooner this godforsaken weekend ends, the better. Back to work and normalacy, I hope. Back to reality.

In regards to my early posting, I shall say little. Basically, after falling unconscious at approximately 8:30 pm last night, I awoke at 3:30 am. Having gotten a good 7 hours of sleep, it became near impossible to fall back at that point. So I went here and played around and that is why I was up that bloody early.

First off, to explain Chip's presence here:
I need some help with my archive page. It sucks. I probably should've made note of that last night. Plus, I was bored and decided to give it another shot - never thought Chip would actually get the invite. But it's cool that he's here and ready to contribute. I hope. :-P
And Chip, you posted at 6:37 in the morning - either you went to bed really early or never went to bed at all. ;-)
As for my evening - let's not even get into it. Suffice it to say that at one point, I was ready to leave Jason just so I wouldn't have to put up with his family anymore. I spazzed in reaction to them and now he's getting the whole "how do you put up with her?" spiel again, as they have selective memories that show them doing nothing wrong. Since I'm used to being the reason that outings go all fubar, I'm placing most of the blame upon myself just because I spazzed. And no, we didn't get to eat at Buca. I'll only give further explanation upon request, because most of y'all really don't want to hear about it. Trust me.

Boo! Well, for some reason or another (which I'm sure she'll tell me about eventually) I'm now a part of Pure Imitation Maranie. I suppose that means that I should do an imitation of her, but I'm just not up for that right now. Maybe later though.
