I Just Called My Congresswoman, Have You?

My representative fantastically is Representative Diana Degette who has spoken in the media against the passage of the Stupak Amendment. They must have been getting a lot of calls about this amendment, because when I finally got through to the DC office and I told the aide that I was calling about the Stupak Amendment, he just chuckled. I simply said that I wanted to thank Representative Degette for so vocally standing up against this amendment and wanted to encourage her to keep doing what she’s doing and push others to defeat it as well.

I don’t know if I’m actually doing anything to help, but it certainly can’t hurt.

As an avid supporter of organ donation (In the 9th grade I made it the topic of my “debate” presentation for Multimedia & Public Speaking), I absolutely love this xkcd comic.
For those of you who believe in organ donation, PLEASE take the time to talk to your parents/spouse/whoever is your next of kin to make sure they know your wishes to ensure that they are carried out in the unfortunate event of your passing. No matter what you mark on your license or intend to do with you innards, unfortunately a living person has the actual final say.

In far more important news, however, I just sat with a friend while she got a tattoo and I’m jonsing like whoa. Now, I’m not saying I want to get the Cabbage Patch Kids Xavier Roberts signature tattooed on my ass, but that is what I’m saying.

Is it weird that I would TOTALLY get this tattooed on my ass? And it would seem completely appropriate to me? Have I mentioned here before my love of Cabbage Patch dolls? And that my niece has taken to appropriating my dolls at home which is just fine by me because EVERY little girl needs a Cabbage Patch baby? And that I still sleep with mine almost every night? 
POINT: I would very much so get this tattoo, and I’m pretty sure the only thing stopping me would be the embarrassment of farting in the tattoo artist’s face sitting on the table with my ass exposed for so long.

Crazy Slowly Am I Going...

I woke up when Lou started rustling, checked the time on my phone, and groaned, wondering why my alarm didn’t go off. I got up, hunted around for some clothes to wear to take Lou on a walk when it hit me - today was Saturday. I didn’t need to be up at 6:50 AM, and THAT’S why my alarm didn’t go off.

It worked out though - Lou and I had a nice long walk around the neighborhood. I love this neighborhood - there are so many interesting hidden gems and fantastic architecture.

Things I Did Not Expect to Do on a Friday Afternoon:

DUMPSTER DIVE.

Yeah, that’s right. I was taking Lou out for a last walk before Jahna and I met Amy for happy hour and when I went to toss the poo bag in the dumpster I accidentally tossed my keys/wallet (they were in the same hand as the poo bag) in as well. Did I mention it was dark? And I THREW MY KEYS AND MY WALLET INTO THE DUMPSTER?! And I can’t even get back INTO my building let alone my apartment without my keys?

It was awesome.

I rang the bell like a crazy lady until Jahna answered the door, then explained to her what happened as she was just like, “Really? My new roommate is insane.” And then I made her hold the flashlight, the dog, and keep the dumpster lid open while I climbed in (THANK GOD IT WAS EMPTY) and fished my keys/wallet out. This was after I changed into a dumpster diving outfit of ratty jeans, the polo I wore yesterday and rain boots. In case you were wondering, it’s harder to climb OUT of a dumpster than it is to climb in. Spider Woman legs + years of pushing out of a pool = PERFECT DUMPSTER UNDIVING FORM. 

The good news of tonight? I left Louie at home by himself for the first time. We were gone for 4 hours and he didn’t have any accidents or flip out. Totes makes up for DUMPSTER DIVING.

We just got back from subrogation conference and AT LEAST half the vendors were forensic engineers - meaning they analyze accidents and figure out why they happened. I spent most of my time talking to them instead of the attorneys I was supposed to because it was SO INTERESTING. And yet I work in marketing. As a copywriter. Second career?
