Blowing Balloons and Noses

  1. Vinny hasn’t come home tonight. He got an unemployment check which I assume means he has money to burn so he’s out in the world burning it.
  2. The neighborhood High school had a fire drill this morning while I was at the bus stop, headed toward the gym. There were 4 firetrucks and the kids poured across the campus lawn like marbles. Their school colors are yellow and black. They looked like Spanish bees.
  3. Orange Polo, which is now the official code name for Damon, the cute boy at work, didn’t come to work today. Whomp, whomp. Broke my heart! The work night is so much easier when he’s there. Orange Polo is just that entertaining…for example…yesterday, this is so cheesy, but we were bickering out loud about something—he’s pacing around the room and I’m at my work station. I wound up making this BIG scene calling him a balloon-head, head big as a balloon and nothings in it (corny right? I know) well he comes over to my desk, after the floor settles their snickering, looks down at me, body pressed against my desk and genuinely asks, loud enough so only I can hear “you blow balloons, right.” DAMN, I wanna kiss this boy!

I blow my nose on:
  1. tshirts
  2. under shirts
  3. towels
  4. paper towels
  5. socks
  6. rags
  7. napkins
  8. undies, preferably mine but yours will do too
  9. and anything sturdier than Kleenex , my nose is too Big for Kleenex


I aaaam sick of being sick. My breathing is labored. I feel fatigued. I HATE taking medicine so for the first few days I don’t until the damn cold progresses. I have no idea why I do that. Clearly I’m a glutton for punishment.

But I’m in bed at my laptop wheezing through one nostril while the other drips and I’m sorta sleepy but know that sleeping will be difficult without breathing. I have Dayquil but I think Nyquil would better fit this situation… though I DID have a protein shake for dinner and now I’m wondering if I take medicine will it then react with the shake and cause gas or even worse and explosion!?!

Geeze! Lemme go to sleep!

Leaky Weekday Nostrils: the Weekend Recap


My nose is leaking mucus which would be a great! “thing of Yum” if a leaky nose prevented me from having to be in class or going to work BUT because school is online and taking off work for a plain runny nose isn’t worth the headache my leaky nose, that lacks any potential for being anything other than a nuisance, remains a nuisance.


I partied all weekend which would explain how I caught a cold—scurrying around the city trying to be cute instead of practical. But on the home front Vinny is sick. He’s been lumbering around the apartment all snotty and miserable. Maybe Vinny gave me his amoebas…?



Finally completed the Lady Gaga Team KLB video with Erica and Charles. Its been on our agendas for the last 3 weekends and finally but FINALLY did we get it done. YouTube rejected it though. Ha!


My older sister Kim who is roughly 7/8 months pregnant had a scare the other day. She was at work and she began spotting. She called the father-to-be, he drove her to the hospital, the Docs gave her a shot so the baby wouldn’t fall from her pudenda and Kim seems to be okay. Her status on Facebook said “false alarm, the baby’s fine.” It’s a boy by the way. They intend on naming him Demetrius.


Everybody loves my Caribbean buddy Tannis (though he only met Chuck this weekend. I want homt o meet everybody!). Tannis and Chuck is who I partied with this weekend. We did the Prophouse on Friday and Reunion on Saturday, the Golden Nugget after the Prophouse and some expensive 24hour pizza joint after
Reunion. I got too see good old’ Keisha Kornbread in Reunion so I stole her hat, cookies and goggles and stood for pictures.




It was actually a beautiful weekend…Beautiful weekends=Leaky weekday nostrils. What a small price to pay I guess.
