Day 33

October 9, 2009




I want to be like HGTV today, so I decide it’s time to start hanging things on my walls. It looks great, but I’m not the best at measuring and placing. Let’s just say that I like to hang things on the walls, and if I don’t like where I put it, I take the nails out and start over. I think I may have put five too many holes in my walls. =) Oops!


I am getting quite a few take-out menus under my door the last few days. It’s wonderful! I think take-out is one of the best things ever invented. A while back, I am heading towards Central Park and along the way, I pick up every single take-out menu the restaurants have. Every ten seconds, my arm pops out and grabs a menu. I must look really hungry! Now, I have the best stash of take-out menus, so whatever you want, I have it for you!


For work, I have to run to Office Depot and pick up some bubble wrap. Not a big deal, until I get there and see that it only comes in a huge box! Man! I have to carry that thing all the way through Times Square! I already look dumb sporting Planet Hollywood gear all over my body, now I’m bumping into everyone and their mother down the street with a huge box of bubble wrap! My cool factor goes down daily from working there! =)


A guy comes in today and asks me how long the wait is, I tell him; then he asks the time, so I turn around and look at the computer. He leaves. Then a co-worker comes in and says he just saw the man steal a golf ball! Ha! I didn’t even notice...not that I care anyway, but I should probably be on the alert more often. I wouldn’t want to pay $3 for a golf ball either. ;)


“Ooh, those rain boots are really cute.” I think to myself. This girl has a really cute pair on—who was she, you ask? Diana DeGarmo—the singer from American Idol. She looks amazing! I don’t even recognize her! Good thing my co-worker points her out because, once again, I’m not paying attention. My mind wanders too much. I need to learn to focus!


Two women walk in and I give my schpeel to them. When I ask where they are from, they say Mexico City, so I say, “Perfect!” Keep in mind, you have to be from the U.S. to sign up (a social security card is required). They say they don’t have a social, so I figure their illegal’s. Okay, go up to the third floor. It’s not until later that I think, maybe Mexico City isn’t in the United States. Yeah, it’s not. It’s definitely in Mexico. I also need to learn my geography!


Then, a tall black man with a grill and blinged out chain walks in with his “posse” and a cameraman. He shakes my hand and tells me he is from MTV. I see the cameraman filming me, so I put on my best smile and energetic attitude. This could be my 15 minutes of fame! It’s Chopper—an up and coming rapper. He looks like Li’l Wayne, but not so little. He is really nice! So, look for me on his soon-to-be-featured reality show! ;)


Note to self: Always look your best. You never know who you’re going to run into. Maybe you shouldn’t wear your hair in a ponytail and sport your glasses on a Friday night at work. Who cares if you are tired and you have a headache. Get over it and always be fabulous! You were being filmed for a reality television show—are you going to be happy with your debut looking the way you do? Hell no! Then when friends ask you to meet them out at a bar after work, you won’t be embarrassed when gorgeous men are all over the place. Who’s going to hit on a girl with glasses, ponytail, and a black jacket with scarf, when there are half-naked women surrounding them? Let’s just say, not many. Damn! Always have a spare glamour look in your over-sized bag!
