Truly Random

To try and even begin to catch you up to where I am NOW and where I was previously would prove futile because I apparently can't committ to even blogging on a daily basis. Truly, I probably have been abandoned by all of my interenets anyway seeing as how my last posting was a couple days after Adam and Eve got in that whole "eat the apple, don't eat the apple" argument.

So, I will tell you what is happening RIGHT NOW. Work has been progressing rather well. The final tax deadline has come and gone and now I can settle in to catching up all of my clients that were so wrecklessly abandoned in the wake of mountains of paper related to that evil government institution, without which, I wouldn't have a job.

This weekend is the 25th Annual Black Tie Dinner sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign and the Dallas Fort Worth Federal Club. Its an annual dinner/fundraiser that raises literally millions of dollars for HIV/AIDS research and equality lobbying among other things. I am going!!! YAY!!!! My tux is hanging in the closet, freshly pressed and waiting to be donned by my freshly couifed, manicured, fabulous self. The coif and the manicure happens Friday and Saturday respectively. Black Tie is a HUGE celebration and according to everyone who has been in previous years, you leave with a sense of pride that you didn't realize was capable by just a dinner. Lets break it down, its 3,000 gay men and lesbians, drinking, dancing, and flashing the American Express card at the silent auction.

sidenote: Last year, Sharon Stone auctioned her Manolo Blahniks (that she was wearing) for $25,000. Seriously, someone paid $25K for a pair of used Manolos and while I do HEART Sharon AND Manolo, um, I would rather pay off my car, but I suppose its all relative. Needless to say, I probably won't be coming out with a pair of Jimmy Choos. LOL.

I took the Enrolled Agent exam over the past three weekends and true to form, it will take the IRS forever (January) to get me the results so everyone keep your fingers crossed about my passing that. Can we say raise?

I noticed today that my butt is beginning to fade away, possibly caused by the weight loss that has been much to my joy over the past few months. I noticed this today while I was in the elevator going to get the mail. I also noticed that there is a mysterious spot on my pants that I sent them to the cleaners for..

Which leads me to my dry cleaner. She is cheap, she is convienant, she doesn't speak English, and she calls me Jimmy Carter everytime I walk in. I realize that while YES, I do have the surname of a former peanut farming President, now building houses for the poor, my first name is BRITT not Jimmy. Not even close. I think that is the only thing that she knows about American history and therefore I am forever cursed. But whatever, its a small price to pay for cheap dry cleaning considering that 95% of my clothes now go to the dry cleaners.

Here is something else that sticks in my craw. Apparently, Texaco, Shell, Citgo, and Exxon ALL think that I am desperate for a gas card. yes, I did just buy a new car but that does not mean that I want to get a new credit card to go along with it. Seriously, its everyday with these people. They have to be rejection junkies or something.

Two weeks is Thanksgiving and I am SO F ING EXCITED!!!! I miss my mom SO much and I am ready to head to the Rock for a once again small reminder as to why it is that I left. No matter how much fun I have there seeing my friends and aquaintances, I am always so glad to be back home in Dallas but I always relish in the thought of seeing everyone, INCLUDING YOU SHANNON AND VIC. Vic I saw you last time, but Shannon I DID NOT AND YOU OWE ME SISTER!!!!!

Anyway, off to do some more accounting work so that I can keep my job and pay for my alleged gas credit card. LOL.

Love to you all,

B
