I’m going going, back back…
Posted by brookem under daily, fire(MEN) in uniform, friendship, good heads of hair turn me on, kitty, more on why I'm single, now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay, tripsSo something went funky last night in My Bed because I woke up and my comforter was half on the bed half on the floor, I was sweating and cold, and my shirt was on backwards. I do believe that said shirt mixup happened prior to going to bed, rather than mysteriously in the midst of a dream filled night, but I cannot even be certain of that. We got home late from the Sox game (finally in the 9th inning they put Papelbon in), and after Fenway Franks and a handful of beers, I was completely wiped out by the time my roommate and I got in at 12:00am.
And even Cosmo noticed something was up, as he continued to paw my head this morning at 5:30am. I had a talk with him and pleaded that he stop that nonsense, which, he did, thankfully. I gave him a birthday hug (he’s 1 today!, a Taurus too!) and rolled over and fell asleep to his soft purrs (I’ll stop now, lest I freak you all out with Single Cat Woman fodder).
I have heaps to do today. Some banking things and CVS type Pre-Trip-Shopping things. A pedi after work followed by a bridesmaid meeting after that. And then there’s the packing, which I haven’t even begun to think about. I know my biggest problem will inevitably be how to cut back on the number of shoes I will attempt to stuff into my suitcase for a five day get-away.
Thankfully, these are all Pretty Good Things, as they are prepping me for (finally) a sweet Little Getaway that I so need. That all three of us need. My mom, myself, and my dear roommate- who, as fate would have it, lost her precious grandfather yesterday. Yesterday. Could she and I live more parallel lives? Yeah, this Getaway couldn’t be MORE timely.
Anywhoots, I hope all of you have lovely weekends and hey, Happy May! Oh and how about this gem- did you KNOW, holy hell, that my birthday, May 4, just so happens to also be International Firefighter’s Day?! Yeah, I totally shit you not. Could The Universe be trying to tell me something? Like, I don’t know, that I need to end up with a Man in Uniform, like my old flame (get it? ha. ha. ha.) down the street?!
Off to Cali tomorrow… have a great weekend bloggybuds. Catch you on the flip side!

Have a great time, as great as the song in your title, which is freaking amazing.

Have a great time! My twins birthday is on May 5th, so you guys almost have the same birthday. I believe a curly haired blogger also has a birthday coming up.
I hope you have a great getaway! And just so you know, I think the cat blogging stuff is adorable and not crazy old cat woman at all!

Awww! Cosmo stories are cute! I love it that he purred you back to sleep.
And have a wonderful weekend/birthday/trip!! You definitely need a getaway and a girls weekend couldn’t be more perfect for one! Be safe and have fun!

Have a great time in Cali! And Happy Birthday — I hope some firefighter lights your fire, oh wait, that’s backwards, isn’t it? Oh, I got it! I hope he douses your passion with his — no, no, that’s no good. Um, just Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great trip!

Pack less underwear. You don’t need it anyway. And then your shoe problems will be solved. Ha!
Sorry to your roommate, though it is truly a sign you’re supposed to be good friends.
And have a great trip. Sounds like all of you need and deserve it! *hugs*

Hi, I had to take OUT four pairs of shoes after I packed everything because there, sniff, wasn’t enough room. I feel empty.
Have a fantastic time!!

mmmmmmmmm hot firemen…. love it.
And tell me about the shoe thing! I went to Calgary on the weekend, to do nothing fancy and just hang out in jeans and hike, and I STILL needed at least 4 different pairs of shoes. Any other trip would require WAY more. Seriously…
Hope you have a great trip with your Mom and friend. It seems much needed. Have a blast!

I have heard about people going to bed with a pair of clothes on and waking up with something completely different on. Perhaps you did wake up mid-sleep and put your shirt on backward?

Happy freaking birthday to you, C-Mo, and moi. I hope you have a wicked good time on the West Coast. You deserve and your family deserve some good quality downtime with all that you’ve been going through recently. Love the use of the word “fodder”. Well done.
I’m sure C-Mo will be a good housemate as your roomie prepares for her grandpa’s wake/funeral. Have fun on your vacation.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great weekend! And I have nights where I too roll around all night, and then my sheets and comforter are off the bed when I wake up the next morning. So strange! What’s a bridesmaid meeting?
May 5, 2008 at 9:31 am

That’s funny - I sing that same song when I’m going to Cali… that and the California here we come song from the OC (lame I know)…
May 15, 2008 at 10:25 am
Actually the last time I went with my ex, he made a whole CD of California songs… It was pretty good except “I love LA” and hate that song.
