During these troubled times, one learns to be suspicious of those overdressed for warmth and hiding something dangerous, like people wearing parkas during the summer. For some reason I feel the same suspicion towards those underdressed for cold, like maybe they are robots without sensitivity to temperature.
Signs I'm losing my mind:
I wrote myself a note on my hand an hour ago that says "TD" and I have no idea what that means. Hopefully I wrote a glossary somewhere else.

Maybe I am oversensitive, but it makes me mad that I get up early for work, take the train in, and then have to wait for the xerox machine to exit sleep mode.
We can't all snooze until 8:30.

With everyone beginning to get engaged and married, I realize that I should start my dream wedding plans.
Attire: informal party, like my Bat Mitzvah, probably wearing the same jean overalls.
Food: chocolate fountains, waterfalls, rivers and oceans.
Decoration: edible flowers, petting zoo.
Entertainment: DJ with same playlist as my Bat Mitzvah, circa 1997.
(Husband "surprise" serenade with Barenaked Ladies "If I had a million dollars")
Celebrity guest: Jon Stewart
Ceremony: includes family vs. inlaws at Family Feud
Romantic, no?
In looking at this written out, it sounds a lot like a county fair.
I'm okay with that.
Also I am mostly serious about all of it.

If someone really studied this blog with the goal to win my love, they would find all the answers.
And then I would probably avoid them for being such a creepo.

People say you should be yourself on dates, but quirky seems a lot like crazy upon first impression.
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning.
If you had a hammer and hammered in the morning, I would probably call the police.

Sometimes I congratulate myself on not falling asleep during a meeting and then realize I kept myself awake by cracking my knuckles and checking my watch.
One day I will learn to be a grown up. But today was not that day.

There's something to be said for the process of "getting to know" a person, going on dates and spending time going out on the town with someone.
But really I just want to watch TV in sweatpants together.

Sometimes I have long stretches of being unproductive but I counteract this with brief flashes of super-efficiency like eating a string cheese in the shower.

Sometimes I think I would like to improve my vocabulary and start using longer and more impressive words.
Sometimes I would like to incorporate the phrase "shit on a stick" more frequently in my daily usage.

The other day I asked the four year old boy I was babysitting how old he thought I was.
He went through the numbers: one... two... three... my cousin is three, four... I'm four, five... my other cousin is five... six-- and asked me: are grown ups ever six?
No, I told him, grown ups are very rarely six.
