Who are you right now?

Happy belated Labor Day! I know I’ve been MIA, but I’ve been having a kind of difficult week. I’m still debating on writing a full blown post on that, but nevertheless I am BACK!

Things I’ve learned in the past week:

• Never EVER under any circumstances trust David’s Bridal when they tell you not to worry about your bridesmaid dresses being discontinued. Better yet, have all the bridesmaids order their dresses at the same time. (thank god my friend Christina works there & helped me out. She is truly a saint)
• Helping a friend through a separation/divorce is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done for a friend.
• Having said friend pack up and move away after she decided to leave is even harder even though you know it’s the right thing for her. There was lots of kleenex this weekend.
• Check your bag for keys before leaving your apartment. I spent 3 hours wandering around chicago makeup-less because I got locked out.
• Never under any circumstances should any type of alcohol come in contact with your vagina. Same rule applies to KY his & hers supposedly. (NOT that I’d KNOW or anything, but so I’ve heard)
• Bribing friends’ doormen with brownies probably isn’t the best way to get into your friends’ building. (Yep, that’s me-bribing good ol’ Walter with brownies. Now I’m probably on his blacklist somewhere. I know he mutters about “that crazy redhead” under his breath now)
• Sometimes it’s nice to spend time away from the future mister.

Things I have yet to find an answer to:

• Why is my couch a nap monster? I cannot sit on it without being lured in for a long nap. Damn you couch for being so tricky!!
• Why I can’t legally adopt Nicole and have Doni live here?
• Why can’t Pumpkin Spice Lattes be made with sugar free syrup? Or be available all year round?
• Why does my hair prove time and time again its will is stronger than my own?
• Is it possible for my IUD to perforate my uterus from, um, having “vigorous” sex?
• Can tomorrow fast forward so I can be in Pittsburgh already??

So tell me what’s happened to YOU in the last week that I may have missed. Any life lessons learned you’d like to share?
