Lupus?
Remember that time I was gonna get married? And then it went to shit. And then six months later I met a completely amazing man. And I felt more for him in two months than I ever did for the ex-fiance in four years? But I didn’t know how to put it all into words. Or I did, but the feeling scared me, cause I never thought a SECOND man would fuck me over, but people are only human and they...
I am
so happy I can’t stop smiling.
It’s amazing how life gets better overnight.
It’s also amazing when you know YOU’RE the one who made the change happen. It’s a good feeling to have control over your own happiness. I think a lot of people don’t realize that.
Time to go shopping for ingredients for Pecan Maple Bacon Pancakes! I’m going to learn to cook...

happy and sad and back again
I officially got my demotion today. I was so excited I called Gerry (who I will be working with again!), but it took him a long time to call back and I started feeling sad about giving up my title. I dunno, I’ve been “store manager” for a while now. Now my name tag will read, “Assistant Manager.” But I’m gaining almost 40 hours a week back. That’s...

So she’s a paranoid schizophrenic from a dysfunctional family? I hope he got her number…

I don’t understand how people don’t see through the “Someone called me pretty for the 4th time today”/”I’m always naked”/”I had to turn down ANOTHER date”/”why is everyone so jealous of me?”…. Tumblrs.
I guess there is some middle school in all of us
Someone DID call me pretty!
someone called me pretty today, too! It was a creepy old man who smelled bad,...

I saw a picture of my brother with his shirt off. He has absolutely no body hair.
Do you think that’s genetics or choice?
I don’t think my brother has the patience or desire to remove hair from his body.

dead dog
A coworker of mine found a dead dog in a box out in back of his store. When he and his boss discussed this, her only question was, “What kind of dog was it?”

I went away for an afternoon
electricpencils:
and my tumblarity dropped 73 points.
What the fucking fuck!
Mine is still at 3.
tired little one
The rule at work is, if you work a double on Sunday, you get the following Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off. It’s a nice three day weekend, but the week preceeding it, you are freakin exhausted.
I am freakin exhaused.
sometimes
You and your fiance just need to sit in the driveway at 11:30 at night stealing the neighbor’s wireless.
Oh, inappropriateness at work . . . how I love...
The other day a customer got mad at me and called me a “carpet muncher” which resulted in the best exchange ever with Erica, my perishable clerk:
“Erica, could you please put out more hot dogs?” “Elise, I don’t play with weenies at work.” “Erica, I’m a carpet muncher, so I don’t play with weenies at all.”

LOOK
My tumbularity is now at 7. I don’t understand you people. I said keep it at 0, but no, it keeps going up.
Maybe I should try this in my store - “Don’t buy more things” and then we’ll have the best sales all year.
Stop making it go up.
My tumbularity is now 3. Thanks a lot. I thought we discussed keeping it at 0. Real nice.
I would really like
to keep my tumbularity at 0.

I saw an old roommate’s profile on Facebook today. Turns out he joined the army after going to law school. He’s probably the last person I would have ever expected to join the army. Life is strange.

I finally got my eyes checked
and I need glasses. Go figure. I’ve only been squinting my way through life for the better part of a year now.
Chris helped me pick out a pair. I get them Monday. Luckily, I only have to wear them when I drive or want to see far away.
Just bummin around
In the villages, yo.
Maybe my new goal in life is to make enough money so I can retire in the villages. Look them up. They’re awesome.
I went to
upload a photo and then realized that I’m on the Dell.
That being said, I think my work computer is royally messed up. Boo for that.

My body is trying really hard to cough up a lung. It’s not cool. Not cool at all.
I’m hoping it goes away before I fly to Portland on the corporate jet. That’s right, bitches. How do ya like me now?
Recently
when I meet a socially awkward man who I don’t particularly care for, I imagine him as a drag queen.
It helps.

You are the only person I know whose week ends on a Sunday.
I slept for
THIRTEEN hours last night.
I guess I was tired.
In three days
the trashed trifecta will reunite once again.
Unfortunately I can’t get too trashed cause I must drive to Jacksonville afterward, but it will be SOOO nice to see Dylan and Shelly. I’m pretty much too excited for words.
Oh, Adam . . .
So I’m in St. Louis and we’re taking classes about how to be a better manager. I’m in the class with Adam and Brandon (who I don’t talk alot about, despite the huge amount of time I spend with them) and a handfull of managers from around the country. Today we had to do this exercise where we did mock interviews. The catch was they gave us our characters in a couple of...
Probably the most random story I've ever stumbled...
I am doing anything in my power to not do any work today. I think I’ve earned a day of nothing.
Haha, in shakespearean times, “nothing” meant “vagina.” So I was told. Maybe my teacher was just a pervert. I’ve earned a day of vagina. Gross.
So random story: When I first moved in with my old roommate Rob, he and I decided to go to this place out in the...
Did I make this up

or are you supposed to be quiet in the library?
I always thought that was the rule, but whenever I come to this library, regardless of the time of day, there’s always slack-jawed yokels with a herd of screaming kids and crying babies and people talking loudly on their ever-ringing cell phones.
What the fucking fuck? It’s a library! Shut your goddamn mouths!
I think maybe...
It's COLD in Miami
SO SO COLD!!!!

I wonder how far the limits of “my bad” go?
Like if next week I set the store tags on fire (that we’ve been waiting 3 weeks for) would it be okay to just say, “my bad”? Or if I broke Brandon’s foot? Or, if I just didn’t show up for three days?
Seriously, what does “my bad” cover?
Today at work
Adam and I spent half an hour popping bubble wrap.
Sometimes it’s refreshing to let loose and have a little fun.
I forgot my wallet today and Chris had to pay for lunch and that made me feel silly.
Dear Chris
I think you need to give up on semi-nude thursday.
Love,
Elise
Dear Chris
Why must you always sit accross from me clicking away on your computer, not even caring what I’m doing. I could be curing cancer and you’d just be click, click, clicking with your “don’t bother me” stare. I’m just sitting here all alone on this couch while you are probably doing something like reading the news or keeping in touch with a friend. I don’t...
Happy New Year from Manchester, TN
electricpencils:
We’re at a hotel, halfway between Oklahoma and Florida. We just had a lovely dinner across the street at Shoney’s. I’ve made some resolutions. I’m not posting them, but I will post an e-mail I sent out in 2003 with resolutions I made back then. I have not lived up to most of them. Enjoy.
Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m going to make some New Year’s resolutions, a...
