Old Town loves me


Nicole and OW saved this for me. HA! Glad you're getting better sister! See you soon!


moves I like

I tried out some of Thandie's moves over the weekend. I felt they were under-appreciated.

today I wore my hair in a braid and sis said she doesn't like it because it's too skinny

I like my skinny braid. It's not too skinny it just has high metabolism.


Today there was a mouse in my kitchen stuck to the sticky trap paper. I called for help. Sayed came to collect it.

Knock knock:

Lou: Wow that was fast. It's just there in the kitchen.

Mouse: SCREEEEEECHHHHH

Lou: Do you want a bag or something?

Sayed: Nope. (Scoops up sticky paper with mouse still attached.)

Mouse: SSSSSCCCCCRREEEEEMMMMMM

Lou: You're going to kill it right?

Sayed: Yes. I have to.

Lou: Yes. Just checking. How will you kill it?

Sayed: I will go like this (acts like he is folding up the sticky paper and smooshing it in his fingers...)

Lou: Oh. Good.

Shuts door.

Mouse: Scrreeeeeaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm

The End.

l.o.v.e.

Estrella Morente = Amor

Gracie Knows Admin

What a lazy admin assistant!

indifference level at an all time high

So the 1 year anniversary of In Lou Of came and went without a party, without acknowledgement, and even without a blog post..... hm. Don't care.


Anyway, I found this while I was packing today. I thought you would enjoy:


The obvious funny thing of this picture is of course me and how ridiculous I look. I was probably in 3rd or 4th grade. But what is subtly funny is the collection of things on my desk behind me. The cheap brass lamp, my sticker box, the mug with all the president's names on it, the ceramic duck figurine I probably bought at the dollar store, the pacifier necklace hanging from a thumbtack on the wall, the shirt I'm wearing that sis used to wear with a t-shirt ring and Nate later wore as a nightgown....


Here's another one:

This is me at age 7 with my first and only dog Lady. Our porch had weird green carpet that looked like fake grass. I don't know why. Sis said she likes my biker shorts. As my Garfield shirt says, I was a hip cat indeed.

Normally these pictures would be embarrassing to me but my level of indifference is such that I find nothing embarrassing any more. Who cares. Look at these crazy pictures. See if I care. (I don't.) I wish I was a 7 year old and just had to worry about 1st grade and missing my puppy while I was at school....

Dear Persons or Similar Upstairs

Good Evening,

Do not slam your toilet seat any more. Ever. Stop doing that. And while you're at it, stop stomping around. Don't bang your heels into the ground when you walk. Adopt the walk of a dancer. Light on your feet please!

But seriously, stop slamming the toilet seat. It makes me want to do bad things to you and I'm trying to be a kinder person in 2009.

Many thanks,

The Persons Downstairs

mantra

It is good for one to have a mantra. Here is mine:

"THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE. THIS IS NOT MY LIFE."

If you say it enough it might come true!

"My life WILL get better. It WILL WILL WILL WILL WILL WILL WILL!"
