I have a headache. But I always have a headache, so that is not news. Maybe I should tell a doctor about all my headaches. Maybe.
I didn't work today. I really hate working. I want to be a housewife. a SAHW if you will. I think I would be really good at. How hard is it to cook dinner when you are home all day anyway? My condo would be clean, I could spend like two hours at the gym every day, I would have time to make dinner, and I wouldn't be stressed out at all. I don't understand this whole "feminist movement" thing. Okay, so I do. I do think that if a woman wants to have a career she should be able to. I'm not all 1950's Pleasantville. I just think it sucks that I have to work just because 50 years ago, all the housewives were depressed and addicted to Prozac because they got kicked out of their jobs when the men came home from war, and their daughters grew up wouldn't take no for an answer. Good for them. Great for them. Girl Power. BUT I DON'T WANT TO WORK! Okay, I would work part time. I'm agreeable to that, until such a time in which we have children. I'm a kickass cashier, if I do say so myself. I wouldn't mind doing that like 15 hours a week. Maybe even 20. But more than that.... I don't want to do it. I don't want a career. I don't want to work. Or I could volunteer. I could help out with a lot of good charities if I didn't need an income. I'm not saying I just want to sit at home and eat bonbons all day. I could contribute to society. I just don't want to work. But I have to. And I have to grad school so I can continue to raise my salary.
I'm not afraid to say I don't want a career. I really don't. I don't think that makes me a failure as a woman. It has nothing to do with it. I just hate working. :)

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?
I am woe!
I have a nasty cold, complete with sore throat and cough. Blah. Just what I need right before finals and papers and projects are all due. December 19... just have to make it to Dec 19...
I have to register for classes next semester on Wednesday. Right now it appears that I will be taking Accounting and Statistics. I've never taken either, didn't even take stats in high school. For some bizarre reason, stats was for the not-as-smart kids in my high school. You would take it instead of pre-cal and calc. I should have taken it anyway as it has more real life applications than stupid calculous. Oh well, my point is next semester is going to suck. But I think I am going to avoid class on my flex day for the second semester in a row!! Which is pretty cool since now Michelle and I have the same flex day and we will have some skiing adventures on our flex days :)
Speaking of skiing, I am getting so antsy.

Clearly that is not me. That person, whoever it is, is a much better skier than I am. This is more what I usually look like (though again - that is not me):
But hey, I have fun. Mostly. :) A few short weeks and I'll be back out there!
In other news, Andrew is agreeable to getting our Christmas tree next Sunday. YAY!!!! I am very excited about next weekend in general. On Friday night I'm going down to Maggie's (work Maggie) for a scrapbook party (yeah, that makes me very excited!) and then on Saturday, the SAC girls are having a girl night (and Andrew is going to visit his brother so there will be NO BOYS at 43 Will Drive!!) which should be tons o' fun. And Sunday we are getting our tree! YAY! Of course I have a final project due Saturday morning, but that's okay. I'll get through it. Mostly. (it's from Alien. Or Aliens, I don't know, but Cartman said it, and it's been picked up here)
So though again it will be the workweek from HELL and I'm sick and I have my HR project due on Saturday (not to be confused with my HR PAPER which is due in three weeks) I have some good things to look forward to (I did it AGAIN....).
That's all I have right now. It's almost time to go to the gym. eeewww

Black Friday
Well Thanksgiving has come and gone :( I do enjoy Thanksgiving, so I am sad that it is another year away now! We spent this year's Turkey day in quincy. Andrew and I got there midmorning and helped my mother do some last minute stuff and visited with the fam and my grandmother. My brother was spending the holiday with his in-laws, but he and Beth did come by later to watch the BC v Miami game. Sadly, on the 22nd anniversary of the Hail Mary pass, we couldn't repeat history and beat the hurricanes again, but we tried! I had way too much food, but it was a good day all around.
I got up at 4 this morning to go to Kohls. I got what I went for and I got some other stuff too. I was back in bed by 5:30. Good shopping day for me!
I have a pretty bad cold now (thanks to Andrew) so I'm all hopped up on cold medicine. Even though it's daytime stuff, it is making me sleepy, so I think I am off to lie on the couch and watch TV.
But before I go... today is the OFFICIAL START OF CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! I bought window candles today :) I can't wait to get the tree! I am a little sad that Santa won't be spoiling me as much as he has for the past 24 years. Apparently he has some thing about married 25 year old women. Whatev. I gave him a pretty extensive list anyway!
Okay, Ugly Betty, the couch, my blanket, and a nap are calling my name. I hope everyone had fantastic Thanksgivings!

WHOO HOO!!!
As you can see, I finally fixed the lack of titles. From this day forward, all of my posts will have titles. I hope you are as over joyous as I am about this new development. That's all I have to say today. Look for a new (titled) post later in the week. Happy Thanksgving!
Political Persuasion
I don't agree that America needs to get back to its conservative, Judeo-Christian values. In fact, I think that there is too much religious views mixed with politics. But other than that, it's pretty much correct.

I love that Dirty Water!
(getting on my soap box.... BOSTON HARBOR IS CLEAN. yes, the Charles is still dirty. But it drives me crazy that so much money, time and energy has gone into cleaning the harbor and people still think it's dirty. Harbor = Clean. Charles = Dirty. Got it? Good. Not that I am recommending swimming in the harbor, it's still a high water traffic area which is icky. But it's clean)
Anyway.... Thursday night Andrew and I went to see the Bruins play (Red Sox, Broonz, Celts and Pats, to all the fans we tip our hats. I swear I will give $20 to ANYONE who can tell me where that's from! And unless you are my brother you probably don't know, but it is public knowledge!). My night was so odd. First of all, I took the train into North Station, which is odd for me. I usually walk from Park or Gov't Center. I know, why whould I do that when North Station is RIGHT THERE? Well the answer is I hate the orange line. I avoid it like the plague because I really think I might catch the plage from it. Any way that I can avoid the orange line, I will. But when I got to downtown crossing, I decided to just bite the bullet and get on the orange line. So I did, and that is how I ended up at North Station. Though it was 70 degrees on Thursday, so I probably should have walked. But I digress. So, not having a ton of expierence with North Station, I exited the train and saw "exit to Causeway St" signs. Perfect, since that is where I wanted to end up because I was meeting Andrew at the Fours. So I follow the signs thinking to myself "this is SO not the way to Causeway Street". But the signs said it was..... so I figured I was just going crazy. I walked out of North Station and I was right - I was in the opposite direction of Causeway St. That was annoying. Why do they have signs that aren't right? I should have followed my instinct and gone the right way. Silly me thought the signs might actually be in the correct positions. So I finally walk all the way through the Garden and come to the right place. I cross the street and I end up at the intersection of Causeway and Friend. The Fours is on Canal. So all I needed to do was go one street to the left. But instead I go right, fully knowing I had to go left. I have no idea why I did that. So then I had to turn around like an idiot and go BACK to Canal. I don't know what wrong with me, but I blame it on the fault causeway streets. Then I finally got the fours and proceeded to have like 5 beers and the Carl Yastremsky.
And the the Bruins won in overtime. So yay for them.

I like to eat Turkey in my big brown shoe
You might notice that my blog is different. I did this in a vain attempt to create titles on my blog. No such luck. I cannot put titles on my posts. I have no idea why, Andrew has no idea why, blogger has simply decided I cannot have titles posts. I thought maybe changing it up a bit would help, but it clearly has not. That is my one complaint with blogger and I think I am the only one who has run into that problem
Thanksgiving is a week from today. I am not feel thankful about much. I've actually been somewhat down in the dumps lately. I just don't feel like a happy person. For one thing I've been feeling lonely lately because my annoying busy life doesn't let me see a lot of people anymore, I don't even spend that much time with my husband. This was actually a warning sign to me - I went through the signs of depression in my head. I've been clinically depressed before and let me tell you, it's NOT fun. I've seen it in my friends as well and it's just as not fun when your friends go through it (especially when denial ain't just a river in egypt!!) But I have come to the conclusion that I am just a little blah, not actually depressed. Yes I am tired all the time, but that is because I don't sleep well because of the stress. I am stressed because work is horrendous right now and I can't seem to catch up (thankfully no one else can either, so I'm not the only one) and this semester is coming to an end which means papers and finals. I could go on and on, but I really think once Dec 19 gets here I'll be good - a whole MONTH off from school! A MONTH!! WHOO HOO!!! Thank god I do not have children right now. This whole "women can have it all" crap is just that: CRAP. But that is a different post.
But as I mentioned, Thanksgiving is a week from today. So I have to stop being gloomy and start being thankful! Here is what I am thankful for (oh, I SO just ended a scentence with a preposition!). This list is in no particular order
1. I have a job (one that is killing me right now, but I still get a paycheck)
2. I have a family that loves me, and sometimes when I have an extra super special broke week, my mom will give me $6 for parking at school
3. I have a husband who spoils me shamefully, especially when I have an alarm clock catastrophe and he gets up before he has to to make my lunch and coffee while I rush around to make it out the door on time.
4. I have super cool friends who like me despite me
5. I was able to buy a condo at 24 instead of paying rent.
6. I have a college degree and I'm in my second year of grad school
7. three out of four granparents are still alive
8. My car will be paid off in 12 months
9. Dunkin Donuts exists
10. I will be skiing in just six short weeks (hopefully!!)
That's my list for right now. Maybe I will add to it in then next week. Maybe I will subtract. Who knows?

School's out for summer!
School's out for ever!
yeah, yeah, yeah, Lorelei and Christopher (and to the general public, there is no 'a' in Lorelei. I promise) got married. Good for them. Obviously Lorelei will mess it up somehow, so I won't even comment. But I wanted to cry with Rory, and not just because Alexis Bledel is the worst actress that has even been a card-carrying dues-paying member of the SAG. I went through that freak out. Should I apply to grad school? Should I get a job? How am I going to start paying bills? What is life like AFTER college? Will I really not get to sleep late and nap every day? I hear you Rory. And truth be told, the real world sucks. Give me college life again (especially her college life with no papers, no exams, and a hot rich boyfrend) and I'd be a happy girl. So yeah, I've been there. And it is a scary thought. And I have yet to figure out what I want to do with my life, and paying bills can be difficult, and sometimes I just want to scream and run away. AND I'm still writing papers and taking exams. Damn, my life sucks!
And I love that Lane is having twins. love it.

Though I hate to post again so soon after my other blog that is generating some good debates, I have to toot the family horn and put up the link to Andrew's blog.
www.tengoodminutes.blogspot.com
Have a good night, stay safe, and as Leah Burke would say, "vote republican" (no, really. She actually said that to Andrew on the phone the other night. Personally, I vote democratic more often than not, but I still found it to be hysterical)

I am so sorry for my inexcusible lack of blogging for the past almost three weeks. The problem? I didn't have any time and the few times I did have a spare moment, I couldn't remember my password. I almost lost my blog forever! But then I realized my password was saved on the laptop! I've changed it, so its all good. I know what you are thinking - but Meghan, why didn't you just have them email it to you? Well that is a good question and the answer is, the email address that I used to start my blog is not longer in use. So I was sad, thinking that my blog had died an unfortunate death, but I have resurrected it.
A lot has happened since I lost posted, but I can't remember most of it. Here is a short recap of my life since my last post.... Halloween, party at Maggie's, very fun. Had my parents over for dinner, had Andrew's parents over, work became unbearably stressful (still is), a lot of school work (which you will note I am not doing right now) and that's about it.
I won't get into work here because you read about people getting fired for complaining about work in their blogs and I can't afford to be fired, but when you see me, ask me about it. I would love to bore you with details.
School is the same, getting to the end of the semester so of course projects, papers, and finals are coming up. Boo. I hate that when you are in school you can't really enjoy Christmas. I hate that I have two more falls AFTER this one that I need to deal with school. (that's right, ladies and gentlemen I will have spent 4 fall semesters in school before I am done. But if I think about that, I will start to cry.
So the citizens of MA cast their ballots on Tuesday, and I was pretty upset with the way they voted. I don't want to think that the majority of MA is uneducated and made an idiotic choice in the prefernce for govenor, but Deval Patrick WAS elected, so I almost have to think that. For the life of me, I don't understand the appeal of him. He is going to raise our taxes, give illegal aliens licenses AND in-state tuition breaks? Umm... what the fuck were you THINKING Massachusetts? Why don't I get an in-state tuition break? I am currently attending a state school for my MBA. I don't get a tuition break because I am a legal citizen and pay my taxes? Right, the same taxes that you are going to raise. FYI. I really think people were that gullible that they thought he had decent ideas. He doesn't. FYI. He is going to take your money and give it to illegal aliens. Just so you know. That is not going to help this little "Mass Exodus" problem that we are having. The last time I checked, having young professionals leave the state in droves and taking their taxes with them was not healthy for the economy of the state. The more they get taxed, the quicker they are going to leave. I heard a guy on the radio on Wednesday and the D.J was asking him to say two ideas/programs of Deval's that he liked. He said Stem Cell research and couldn't come up with a second. Well, ALL FOUR of the candidated supported stem cell research, so that wasn't a Deval thing. So basically he couldn't come up with a thing that Deval stood for that he liked. I will admit Kerry Healy wasn't my first choice in govenor, but the only thing that really made me question her was her stance on gay marriage. BUT, I used my head and realized that she would never be able to get rid of it in MA because it is such a democratic state. But MA has spoken, Deval is the govenor, and when he is taxing the middle class to death, please don't complain about it to me. I didn't vote for him.
Also - How stupid do you have to be to believe the ads against question 1. really. First of all the "statistics" in the Vote No on Question 1 ads were not only made up, but they were twisted to make it seem like they were worse than they were. WINE IN GROCERY STORES PEOPLE!! WINE IN GROCERY STORES!! How much can the government possibly regulate us? Should they tell us what we should wear? What jobs we should have? What our salary should be? Hmmm.... sounds like communism to me!!
I have to get out of MA. Not just because I like my money and don't really feel like being taxed so our Govenor can hand it over to criminals, but because I just do not understand the rest of the population in Massachusetts. I am going to see if my brother has any room in the car when he gets the fuck out of this state. :)
So that is my rant on the MA election. I know it sounds like I've gone all republican on you, but I'm really not. I'm still the moderate conservative democrat that you all know and love. I'm just alot more fiscally conservative than before. Of course Ted still got my vote, and I still hate Bush! But that's more because he's an idiot than for his politics. And no, I will not discuss it at the coffee shop on Friday or Saturday night.
Anywho, I'll move on. I know I am not as liberal as most of my friends, so I'm ranting to people who don't get me :) I will accept any comments as to why you think Deval should be govenor. I'm actually interested in what some educated people have to say about it.
Coming up in two short weeks is Thanksgiving! I can't believe it's almost 2007. I was so excited when 2006 came because I was FINALLY going to get married! Now I'm married, broke, and boring. hmmm...... maybe the single life has its advantages! Nah.... who would make my coffee in the morning and get excited about Numbers with me? I wonder what 2007 will bring? But that is really a post for about a month.
Again, I am sorry about the lack of blogging, but I think I have fixed the problem. And I had to get my rant about Deval off my chest. I will be happier in my next post, I promise.
A lot has happened since I lost posted, but I can't remember most of it. Here is a short recap of my life since my last post.... Halloween, party at Maggie's, very fun. Had my parents over for dinner, had Andrew's parents over, work became unbearably stressful (still is), a lot of school work (which you will note I am not doing right now) and that's about it.
I won't get into work here because you read about people getting fired for complaining about work in their blogs and I can't afford to be fired, but when you see me, ask me about it. I would love to bore you with details.
