• Ugh, this is the 2nd time this week that Google Chrome has crashed and thus erased most of the blog I wrote. LAME! Let me see what I can reconstruct here:

  First off, today I am showered and so fresh and so clean Just making sure everyone knows that what happened Wednesday was out of the norm for me. I'm not usually stinky and gross. haha.

  So Obama turns 50, the market takes a dive, and the situation smushed snooki? Yesterday was pretty major, I don't know if I'm ready for today yet.

  Today has thus far involved opening the door over my foot thus scratching it. Also it has been a day of receiving various messages from friends about their failing or failed relationships. I heart my friends.. I hope they are all okay! I stupidly sent a message that was intended for one person to about 10 on FB (thankfully it didn't really matter much but still silly) and my cousin just called to tell me his car (parked near my house) may have been towed. 

  On the brighter side, this week has involved some good news. My landlord called and asked me if I am still living alone. I told him I am and so he told me he will not raise the rent this year again as long as it is just me paying rent. WOOHOO! Also, I was informed this week that before September 1st I will be receiving a raise at work. I don't know the details yet but I'm hopeful that it will actually happen this time.. we'll see. It's been mentioned since late May now so who knows. My last one was in February so i'm not really due for one. I'll obviously take whatever comes my way though. Fingers crossed.

  This afternoon after work I will be heading up to Stamford for a fun night with friends (and a train ride with another friend to get there). Tomorrow will be spent at Woodbury Commons (outlets!) and then on Sunday I have a slew of people coming over to play games in the afternoon. I wanted to invite @Coffeebee this time too, but there are already about 10 people coming so it will likely be quite crowded. I stuck with just locals this time around. Besides celebrity, pictionary, Apples to Apples or Wii i'm not too sure what we'll play. It will be a full house.

  In the mean time Hotel Naomi continues in full force. My cousin and his gf are crashing for a couple of days while they try to find roommies and get their first NYC apartment all set up. Kinda makes me want to be 22 again too. 

  Random tangent: I heart Spotify.

  So every morning as I walk to the office I cross a busy intersection where there is always the same lady directing traffic. However, she does this with dainty ballerina dance moves. Occasionally she throws in a curtsy or a bow. She usually stands in ballet's 3rd position and she flails a lot. Part of me wonders whether she thinks she's directing an orchestra or something.
     

  I have tried a couple of times to snap a picture of her (cause she honestly makes me giggle every time) however none of the pics show the dance moves that she performs. One day I will get it just right. Ultimately she looks something like this:
  
  It's the white gloves that make her Mickey. Perhaps she watched too much Fantasia as a kid? Who knows. 

  I have a new best friend. He's two (almost 3). Yesterday we hung out for a while repeatedly building and then breaking a Brio train track bridge and making the (occasionally flying) train cross the (mostly broken) bridge. Good times! We also played with the ball for a while, oh and there was a fish too.. the fish kept trying to swim in his ear. He giggled and it was so cute! I realized while playing with my new bestie though that if I ever have kids they will surely be messed up! I spend so much time with little ones joking about how inanimate objects have feelings or thoughts.. As long as they are not my children though I remain convinced that there is nothing funnier than a slightly confused toddler.

  For those of you who watch Big Brother all I have to say is ARGH!?! And did y'all enjoy the Jersey Shore in Italy premiere?

  Welp, the interns are bringing me back lunch from the Greek place they went to and they just got back so I better go find me my gyro. Happy weekend everybody!
