Ri-hise and shi-hine and give God the glory glory...

Last week, I flew down to San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon for our all-day agency off-site on Thursday and Friday. Whenever these off-sites happen, I know I'm not going to get much sleep (corporate credit cards + co-workers you only get to see three times per year + a city full of nightlife = SO TIRED...and usually hungover), but this year, I think I really outdid myself. Dinner on Wednesday followed by beers and late-night burritos in North Beach ... Happy hour on Thursday followed by a cocktail party in Hayes Valley, drinks at Vesuvio and back up to North Beach for more beer ... Three bottles of wine polished off by four of us on Friday ... A mimosa as big as a fishbowl in the Castro on Saturday ... Home Saturday afternoon (miraculously, I took a break from drinking on Saturday night). But alas, the sleep deprivation continued to Sunday, as I was up and at 'em way too early for a 7:30 breakfast before my little sister's commencement. All of which leads me to the following...

You know you're seriously sleep deprived when:

• You tear up watching So You Think You Can Dance AND The Bachelorette
• You decide that a bologna sandwich and a bowl of fat free croutons constitutes dinner because you're too lazy to make anything else
• You get dressed without even checking the weather report only to walk outside and realize it's raining, and you're wearing sandals
• You FORGET TO GRAB YOUR DEBIT CARD FROM THE ATM MACHINE (Seriously)

I so wish my office had nap time...

UPDATE: One more to add to the list: You post your blog without a title...and then you post a title that borrows a verse from a biblical(ish) song.

Simple pleasures (or, simple minds, simple pleasures?)

Is it wrong that I'm SO EXCITED to go home tonight and paint my nails with my new shimmery orange nail polish?


Maybe "wrong" isn't the right word, but it's definitely a statement about where my social-life priorities are at right now:

1. Paint nails
2. Catch up on DVR recordings of So You Think You Can Dance
3. Pluck eyebrows
4. Do laundry
5. Go out...maybe...if I'm done with the laundry, that is

HA! And you wonder why I don't have more to blog about...


UPDATE: Further evidence of how fabulously monotonous my life is... I took about a week off from going to my favorite neighborhood deli (the Tower Deli on Seventh Avenue between Olive and Stewart -- I'd suggest the spicy chicken, available on Mondays and Thursdays), and when I walked in today, this is what I got (in stereo) from the Korean brother-sister team that runs the joint:

"Well heeeeeeeey there! Long time no see? Where have you been hiding?"

Yes, my daily life is routine enough that it can be tracked even by local deli owners.

But seriously, isn't a little monotony in life sometimes a good thing? I think so.
