“Well, Amy hit the atmosphere / caught herself a rocket ride out of this gutter / and she’s never coming back I fear / Anytime it rains she just feels a lot better / and that’s all that really matters to me // We’ve waited so long / for someone to take us back home / It just takes so long / and meanwhile the days go drifting away / and some of us sink like a stone / waiting for mothers to come”

—Counting Crows

The word I am looking for to describe the quality which gives me the utmost irritation is this:

DISINGENUOUSNESS.

This makes sense, since (see what I did there?!) I am known for my extreme candor.

Anyway. That’s what I’m hating on. Disingenuousness.

I meant to do this earlier. EOTD 4/13/12 (FRIDAY the THIRTEENTH!):
Woke up at 5:01. Gathered my packed bags and was in the car on my way to SLP by 5:30. Still managed to be the last person to arrive for Pure Barre’s free 6AM intro-day class, but luckily Diana saved me a spot. Filled out a paper form (much to my annoyance; I’d already filled that out online, you jerks!), did whatever I was supposed to do with my things and sat on the carpet.

Class began. It was much more difficult than I had anticipated and I was semi-annoyed by the frou-frou women who attended. I mean, this is what we get at yoga in Edina, BUT we also get decently yoga-interested folks and MEN too. So. Anyway. Also the instructor was not the greatest. But it was a really good workout and Diana and I kept looking at each other cracking up. New experiences!

Stood outside after class in the hefty wind summarizing our thoughts. Drove to the office to shower where I discovered I had forgotten my comb, my makeup, my face soap, EVERYTHING. Made do w/ plastic yellow comb from Devil’s Lake circa 1985. Yep. Whatever. It’s Friday. To my desk to work on iPad3 upgrades. Along with other things. I had sent a disappointing email to some professional contacts the night prior and I was anxious about it. However, I got some very positive feedback back from them and that made me happy. NAILING IT.

Called Pete and discussed weird freelance opportunities. Maybe…? I would like a Desigual fund, anyway. It was fun to catch up, even if he’s a big bad lawyer now.

Back to work to finishing up some Things, and I also decide to take the afternoon off. OH YEAH!! Jeff arrives and we hit up the gnocchi bar. That guy really takes pride in his work! Lots of gnocchi and a very nice lunch date of course :). It was gray, faintly rainy, and very chilly and windy, and this was the perfect antidote.

We set off downtown for our errand. It went extremely well and I am always grateful to find an open, honest, smart, helpful, kind professional. We left feeling smart! We also took a peek at the hotel in the Foshay. Very interesting. Moving along. Back along Nicollet and back to the cars. Drop mine off at our car place whom we adore. Bye bye Civic! Gotta make sure it’s ready for all this traveling.

On to Edina YET AGAIN. We are spending waytoomuch time in Edina lately but…it’s convenient. So sue me. (Sue!) Apple store. We knew exactly what products we were in there for but we took our time moseying around. I guess we just like Apple stores. Finally made the purchase. WHITE WHITE WHITE. iPad3! Oh yeah! Also upgraded my Touch OH YEAH. Too much cash. But, tradeoffs. If you can’t have one thing…

On our way out we also acquired two new shirts for me. WHITE. And cute. And Jeff-approved (JK). I plotted to wear one that very next night at TRIPLE BOOKED SATURDAY EVENING (note: first event flaked so it was only double-booked). Anyway. Home. We cleaned up and then ordered a WHITE pizza. Happy Friday the 13th! Settled in with RED wine WHITE pizza GREEN salad and a new show. Hilarious! Then we just hung out for a long time…doing our own thing. I passed out, got crabby, then went to bed for real.

A wonderful day of being together. Lovers! Jeff…the BEST!

I was feeling so so so good all week which was both good and a Sign. Good to have the Goodness stored up, but also a Sign of impending doom. But. The 13th was a wonderful day :).
