yeah that's right

Sometimes I feel like I kind of have the right at work to just take an hour off and blog. Seriously, I’ll be helping someone with something that will take them a half day to do even with my help, so I’ll say “Why don’t you just email that to me and I’ll finish it” and then I finish it in 10 minutes. And then I’m like – huh. If I wasn’t so technically proficient I’d still be doing it so…. Blog times. So before it slips my mind, here are some reasons I’m in a kick ass mood today.

1. In the ongoing saga of “wtf is Alissa doing with her pets while on vacation” it has been decided that the dog will go to Camp Calabogie, which is my dad and wife’s gorgeous lakefront house in Calabogie, ON. We call it camp because the dogs love it there. Boomer will lie in the lake, chase chipmunks, eat cheese and nap in the grass for three weeks. Freaking awesome. I’ll go out when I get back for Thanksgiving and pick him up. Or, depending on the epiphanous (screw you, that’s totally a word) nature of my trip, maybe I’ll just move there when I get back and write books on the dock. Hey dad, guess what?!?!
2. The weather – hate the heat, but holy jesus do I ever obviously have seasonal affective disorder. The last few days of fall have made me so cranky. I need to buy one of those face lamps my doctor suggested. You should have seen the look on her face when I asked her if it would give me a face tan.
3. I’m ovulating. Sorry if that’s too much Alissa in your coffee but – bonjour! I wonder what lesbians crave specifically while ovulating? That might be a horribly offensive question, but I think this was actually one of my things yesterday on not understanding gay/straight people. All of a sudden I’m looking at boys who wear suits in some sort of sociobiological nest-searching way. Thank gawd it only lasts a few days. This is how women end up with bay street boys. Pffft.
4. My lesbian yoda at work is back from a long vacation with her gorgeous french canadian wife and their son. (sigh) Can't wait to get her up to speed on my recent sapphic tendencies. She's so sweet, always trying to get me out there. Love her.
5. Kind of connected to that I feel as though I may get hit with a 2x4 of cosmic romance in the near future (cut to me 6 months from now, totally celibate). Haha, no seriously. I don’t know who, there are a couple of reusable/recyclable options in the air, which we know I’m just so good at, and then a few new ones. Something’s going to happen, I can feel it.
6. I’ve been seeing the results of some sort of creative enema over the past few weeks, don’t know what did it, not questioning it, just going with it. Plan on writing tonight. Crapping out a novel I’ve had stuck in my head for no joke 5 years and it feels GOOD.
