more than nothing but less than a lot

as if you need more reasons to read this blog:

1. My Pantene shampoo promises to deliver 12 hours of anti-frizz control, but only 12 hours. So watch out! Around 8pm every night, my hair goes nuts! I turn into a pumpkin with very, very, frizzy hair.

2. Did I mention the part where, the other day, I missed a couple of phone calls? Because I was SITTING ON MY PHONE AND COULDN'T HEAR IT RING.

Shoot me.

3. Many people will call their sisters and say, "Hey, can you come up to Boston and help me organize my house?" Fewer people will answer, "Sure! That sounds like fun!" Even fewer will actually follow through and do it, and of those slim pickins, only one will manage to fling paint stripper into her eyeball while stripping the paint off of a radiator with a toothbrush.

Do I need to name names here, people?

4. I've decided to take a job where all I have to do is fly the Delta shuttle back and forth between Boston and New York. Three reasons: 1. Complimentary snacks and wine, 2. Free NY Times in the Marine Air Terminal, and 3. I was the ONLY WOMAN on the flight (who wasn't paid to be there). Hello! Lots of men in suits and only one me. What's a girl to do?

5. Speaking of suits, my self-imposed moratorium on dating draws to an end on Friday. Seeing as I've had so many men pounding down my door in the last six weeks, I'll probably just keep it up. My dad, however, is making a valiant effort in this direction, setting me up with the son of his college girlfriend. It is, at the time of press, unclear as to whether or not this particular guy already has a girlfriend or not. According to facebook, he does. According to his mother, he doesn't... Is it too late to back out now?

6. Did I mention the overwhelming success of my clothing swap last weekend? If so, did I mention the fact that I have six enormous bags of clothing in my office? It's getting so bad that I'm foisting it off on people, including the cleaning lady. I even took some to Boston this weekend! Is it a crime to transport ill-fitting clothing over state lines? (In the case of some of these items, it should be.)
