Things Only Ace Thinks About

Sometimes my life is boring. Sometimes it's interesting. Usually it's more often the former and not so much the latter. Sometimes I can make it through my day only by pretending I have a documentary crew following me around, and that's when I'm glad that my inner-monologue cannot be heard by others. Everyone thinks like this, yes? And everyone loves Elvis, and the Brady Bunch, and Stephen King, and birthdays, right?

Mmmm, chocolate. And interest charges.

Wow, my posting has gotten sporadic. This week was busy. Again. And again, not fun busy. But here it is on a weekend, and I choose to not work for the next three hours (hello, o’ blessed TV).

Recap commences.

So my doctor has told me to eat more fruit, which I have been doing. Two pieces a day, including oranges, which I never liked before but am now enjoying. Except how long it takes to get to the damn fruit. Anyways, I typically have a banana, and it takes everything in me not to re-create the Colbert banana incident. But, as they say, practice makes perfect and you need to stay in shape. Which is funny if you’ve seen the clip.

Next. On Thursday, I wore a shirt that revealed a little bit more of my cleavage region than I typically do at work. So there they were. All day. I was sitting in my office, when a faculty member came in to talk to me, so he was standing and I was sitting. So he has that perspective. Our conversation:

Me: So what did you think of the first candidate? (we’re searching for a new professor)
Him: I thought he was ok, but I’d like to see what the breast of the committee thinks. **Here is where he turned bright red and shifted his gaze from the ladies up to my eyes for the rest of the conversation. I don’t think he looked away from my face or even blinked for the next five minutes as he contemplated what he had done/said. I’m assuming he meant “rest of the committee.”**

So that was fun.

Next. I attended a birthday shindig the other night, where I was introduced to a great game. I’m not going to sum up the game too much, but you tried to match words/people/events with adjectives. Man, that doesn’t sound fun, does it? But it was. Anyway, I discovered that people other than myself think Tom Hanks is useless. Because he is. He really, really is.

Finally, this cold weather and blechy snow better stop soon. I pushed two cars the other night. They got stuck in my driveway. And it was pretty funny. Maybe just for me.

Oh, finally part two. I saw “The Queen” last night. No, not Tom Cruise (don’t we all have our suspicions?). The movie about the week after Princess Diana’s death. It was ok. But I missed ten minutes of it, as I took a stroll down memory lane remembering my Princess Diana paper doll from the 80s. It rocked. So did my chocolate-covered raisins. By the way, I charged 66 cents last night. Who’s financially stable? Me.

I enjoyed your post as follows:
Fruit story: very funny; now I'm going to think of that pretty much every morning. We eat a lot of bananas at our house. But not Colbert-style...
Cleavage story: HILarious! Men have such one-tracked minds.
Credit card story: awesome. I think my lowest charge amount is about $1.30.

Sorry Ace, hate to break it to you but that paperdoll was MINE....not that such a minor detail ever kept you from "borrowing" it...I know this because I actually took the damn thing to a hairstylist once so she could cut my hair like Princess Di's...and it was OH SO FLATTERING.
