The first season of The Office aired during my last few months of high school and I have been addicted ever since. I’m not sure I’m ready for it to be over. I’m not ready to think about how much this show has meant to me through my first (and only) years of adulthood.
That said, I will now have to avoid the internet for the next six hours or so because if anyone spoils this finale for me I will be devastated forever.
I’m planning to finish Wild today (finally!) so I can move on to Marie Tillman’s The Letter immediately when it downloads tomorrow. After these two memoirs, I’m not sure I’m going to have any tears left to cry.
Last time I felt too overwhelmed by my thoughts/emotions to write about them, I posted about shower curtains. Today, I’m going to post about shoes. Ignoring the fact that I probably don’t need another pair of sandals (and the fact that I wear shoes maybe three days a week), these shoes were completely necessary.
Because they were on sale and I had a coupon code and shipping is free.
Because buying new shoes is way easier than writing (or even talking) about how my younger sister called off her engagement and my older brother is getting yet another divorce and now I’m scared and angry and heartbroken and getting married in less than two months.
Because I have no idea how to deal with any of this other than screaming/crying or buying myself pretty things and at least this way I come out of it with new shoes rather than puffy eyes and a headache.
Or, you know, just because.
My heart/mind are full of so many things to write/think about right now, such as the anniversary of my grandmother’s death, the wedding, our upcoming move, and the birth of Beyonce’s baby. But I don’t really want to write/think about any of those things. I want to write/think about shower curtains. So I’m going to do exactly that, but I’m also going to add some stuff about feelings, because bringing feelings into the mix totally cancels out the fact that I’m avoiding writing/thinking about anything important right now. Ok? Ok.
You know how much Kyle loves me? He loves me so much that when I told him I wanted a $118.00 shower curtain from Anthropologie, he didn’t tell me I was out of my mind. He asked me if I really wanted it and when I tearfully said I did but just couldn’t validate spending that much money on a shower curtain right now, he showed me that it actually has really bad reviews on the website. I feel much better about the whole situation PLUS now I know that Kyle will be there to support me through any future interior design related breakdowns. I still haven’t picked a new shower curtain, though.
