ten things on my mind right now that really aren’t so important. so of COURSE i’m going to share.
1. I wonder if anyone else has ever cut their shoulder open with an earring? And where did my neck go?
2. Passport, passport, passport. Must get. Now. And the first person to say ANYTHING doomsday-ish about getting a passport in Vancouver at this point gets a smack in the head. That includes you, Darren. I can get to Malta to do it, if need be. No, wait, I can’t. Passport! NOT A WORD.
3. Yesterday, my nails looked fine. Polish perfect. Today? Chip/peel explosion. Horrible. I look like a first grader trying out Tinkerbell Bo-Po for the first time.
4. I’m slowly realizing that it’s possible to pull your hair back too hard.
5. Croissant. Croissant. Croissant.
6. Why does my phone get SO smudgy? Every time I pull it out of my purse, I think I must be walking around with the dirtiest hands on the planet, yet I’m OCD and tend to wash them too often. So what gives? Is it the hand lotion? Am I overproducing evil little microbes? WHAT?
7. How DOES the Dow Jones work?
8. I am SO THRILLED at the sunshine outside. SOOO gorgeous. And our window plants in my department (Lola, Mary Catherine, Trevor, Alejandro, Roberto) seem to like it, too. Also? I feed them coffee every day. You should SEE how they grow. I wish it worked like that for me. I’ve stalled out at 5′5″, and that’s still not tall enough to not twirl around like a mobile when I have to hold the upper bar on the commuter bus. That sentence just made me want to kick my own ass.
9. I need to create a budget and get my ass organized. Well, not my actual ass. It defies organization. But trying to set budgets generally makes me squirrelly. I have no trouble keeping track of what’s in my bank account, and I never bounce cheques or anything like that, but I need to save/allot/prioritize/plan. Anyone know of a good book/system/piece of software that works on a Mac?
10. My eyebrows grow like a teenage boy. Nothing nothing nothing AN INCH nothing nothing TWO INCHES nothing. Meh. How do you keep up with that? I’m a devoted shaper/plucker, but they seem to want to rumble with me. Not that my eyebrows actually grow two inches long. But you know what I mean.

i have never cut myself with an earring, but i did have a dangly one brush against my neck, ever so lightly, and i freaked out thinking it was a bug, and in that moment i thought not about saving myself from its venomous sting, but rather i thought about you…didn’t you mistake one for a bird alighting on your shoulder at one point? is that creepy? not the bird on the shoulder sensation, but that i don’t even know you and yet you find your way into my daily thoughts?
i blame phone smudginess (on the inside) on sunscreen.
i have quicken on my mac, but i shamefully have never been one to stick to a budget so i cannot attest to how it works for managing money

It’s quite simple, sum the prices of the 30 stocks and divide by the divisor. The divisor gets a little tricky but it’s just a way of removing the effects (affects?) of splits and dividends on a stock’s price. It’s adjusted every day depending on the “corporate actions” (the splits and dividends) of the individual stocks.

Er, I’ll, uh, keep any passport talk to myself. In truth, I got mine renewed about six months ago, and it wasn’t really, really horrible.
