who's a big bad adult? this girl.

After turning a year older it's probably best to make sure you continue with your regular routine of sleep. Not just because you're OLD and OLD (seriously, I think I need to train the coworkers on things that you just do not say out loud), but also because 12hrs of sleep spread out over a weekend does not qualify as enough cycles of REM. Especially for a person who believes that 10pm is a totally appropriate hour for bed, when the only thing on T.V. is Law and Order SVU reruns, which hellooooo I have already watched. Twice.

Also, it's probably best to avoid reading a stack of birthday cards when your already hyper emotional, for no clear reason other than that you are a girl. An overly emotional girl. The words "I miss you" from three consecutive friends, and one hand-made wonder from your Mom, will result in tears that know no end. Keep in mind though, I also welled up this weekend reading an article from the NY Times Real Estate section. Because there is nothing like genius floor plans to make a girl really turn on the waterworks.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm starting to suspect that I will singlehandedly keep the bodega downstairs in business on the basis of ice cream sales alone. Just a guess.
